Editing

Can anyone help me? I am new to the premiere pro family and I have alot to learn. I am attempting to begin my editing journey with older videos shot with my iphone and canon rebel T5. When I upload the video onto premiere a error message that says media offline occurrs on all my imported files. I figured out that all I had to do was link the files, but every little edit I do this errors keeps occuring and its making editing these videos alot harder. 

 

What can I do to prevent this from happening?

    It sounds like you want to organize your work outside of Premiere Pro first.

     

    Pick a location for the project on your hard drive.  Create a new folder with a descriptive name for the project.  Then create three subfolders: Source Footage, Projects, Exports.

    Copy all of your source video clips into “Source Footage”.

     

    Then launch Premiere Pro and start a new project, choosing the “Projects” folder created outside of Premiere Pro earlier as the location and importing the media from the “Source Footage” folder.

    When ready to export, do so to the “Exports” folder.  

     

    If you add any new footage, always copy it to the “Source Footage” folder prior to importing it into the Premiere Pro project.

     

    When the project is completed, archive the entire folder.

     

    Repeat this for the next project.
