Tips & Warnings

Adobe Premiere allows you to import an array of file formats, including AVI, QuickTime, PhotoShop, bitmap and PICT files, TIFF files, Targa files, animations (such as FLC or FLI), AIFF and WAV sound files, and more.
Source clips should match the size of your final production. If the source clips have the same aspect ratio, Premiere will scale the clips. If the aspect ratio is different, you will get better results if you scale your source clip before importing.
