Opening a project

Adobe Premiere Elements:Opening a new project

Open Adobe Premiere Elements

Press the ‘Windows’ button and ‘S’ for search

Type in ‘Adobe’ and select the Purple icon from the list of possibilities that shows up

Alternatively, press the ‘Windows’ button and return to the home screen and look

for This same icon

Once you click on

‘Elements’ this box will

appear in the centre of the screen. Click

on ‘Video Editor’ and select ‘New

Project’

Adobe will continue to open

a new project. Once here you want to save to

the M-Drive

Click on the file menu

And choose ‘Save as’

At this point the box will show in the

centre of the screen like this.

Call it what you want: Andy’s

project, The Hunt For Red October,

Ouisdfgho. (I don’t care what you call it as long as you know what it is – leaving it

as ‘My new video project 1’ will get confusing if the

other people using this computer do the

same.)

NOTE: Where you save it is

important!

Don’t just hit ‘Enter’! This will save it probably in your H-Drive. There is not

enough room there and it will, most likely, crash. Save it in the M-Drive of the

computer. Then you can press ‘Save’

Once you are at a page that looks like this and it is saved, you’re good to edit.
