Sample Media in Premiere 2023

[Media Editor]

How to prevent Sample Media from appearing when starting a new project.

[Ann Bens]

Make a different location your favorite.

[R Neil Haugen]

Simple.

In the upper left corner, see the Favorites section, with the starred items? Click the stars to un-favorite them.

And of course you can skip the import via this page easily. Type a project Name, select a Location, make sure nothing is selected in the middle section of media nor any options on the upper right blue (selected/active).

Now click Create, you get a blank new project as before. And you can import folders as bins either through the Project panel/Import option or the MediaBrowser panel.

I clicked on the stars.  The sample files still appear.

[Ann Bens]

You need to uncheck the star.

[Media Editor]

I tried to uncheck the star.  Did not work.

[R Neil Haugen]

They will not be selected, but will appear ... until you 'star' favorite something else.

Of course, most of us don't use that project import process anyway.

Name/Location, click "Create".

Import as before from the Project or MediaBrowser panels.
