1. Organize Demo Reel Materials into one project folder in your Documents folder. Create subfolders to further organize. If you want to import anything it must be first copied to your project folder. All project assets should live within your project folder.
Make sure that all of your footage has the same pixel dimensions (1920X1080) and frame rate(24). All materials should be exported using the animation codec.
While you can mix pixel dimensions and frame rates on a timeline. It makes the process much more complicated. This tutorial will deal with consistent pixel dimensions, frame rate, and codec.
2. Launch Premiere. Select Create New:
New Project from the pop up window.
3. From the new project window
Name -- Name your project
Location -- Click the Browse button to navigate to your project folder in your documents folder. This will select the destination path for your new project.
Select the Scratch Disks Tab from the New Project Window. Check to make sure that each path listing is set to same as Project. Now all of your scratch disks will be set to the Location you just assigned.
4. Premiere will open. Along the top bar of the application, you should see your destination path and project name. The image below will give you a basic primer on each of the windows, some basic keyboard shortcuts to memorize, etc.
5. To begin editing create a new sequence
File | New | Sequence
Select Preset
Digital SLR
DSLR 1080p24
name your sequence
The sequence will now appear in your project window
