Creating Movies out of your Game Demos using Adobe Premiere
The Adobe Premiere Workspace
If you only have a single monitor the Premiere workspace will be cramped. There are a lot of windows to juggle. The three main windows you will use to edit you movie are Project, Monitor and Timeline.
The Project Window
The Project Window is where you will import and organize all of your media files like your sequentially numbered screenshots, music files and additional graphics. If your movie contains a lot of files you can organize the files by creating different folders in the Project Window.
The Monitor Window
The Monitor window can be configured three different ways by selecting one of the three little icons in the top center on the window. I like to work in a dual monitor mode. In this mode you load your source material into the left hand window by dragging it from your project window. Once the clip is loaded you can play it, select in and out points for editing and then add it to your timeline. The right hand side of the Monitor window is labeled Program. This is where you can set in and out points on your timeline as well as play the timeline to see the results of your editing.
The Timeline Window
The Timeline is where you add video and audio to edit your movie. It contains your video and audio tracks, a transition track and a small tool bar.
