How not to need to render your footage in Adobe Premiere Pro if you have no effects on it.

Now, lets say you want to open a new project for a new movie.
Now, if you are shooting in HD , it's going to be much different than shooting in SD.


Now, i will show you how to make your own project settings that work perfectly for the camera you are shooting on. Because for example, if your camera is shooting with a frame rate of 24 frames per second(Cinema) and you choose a setting which includes 30 frames per second , you are going to have to render your project even though you have no effects on it. So, it's completely a waste of Hard Drive Storage and computer power , and off course a huge waste of time.

Now  when you open premiere this is what will show up :



Now , just click New Project to make new settings or you can just open an existing project by clicking on ''Open Project'' , but to make your new settings for your camera , click on New Project, and this will show up:



Now over here , the only thing i suggest you do , is change the Capture format to HDV or DV depending on your camera and when you click on scratch disks , this will show up:


Now , in here , you can pick what you want your project to be rendered in . For example , i like to render my project in Local disk D because it has more space , so i recommend changing to the disk with a higher capacity , now to change the disk , just click browse , and pick the disk you want but remember to pick it for all of the following : Captured video; Captured Audio; Video Previews; Audio Previews.

Then , name your project and press OK, and this will show up :



Now, this is the important part . When you have a project , you can have several sequences , but each sequence has different settings. For example , my camera is an AVCHD camera that shoots in 1080i and i shot it with 30 frames per second which is equal to 29.97 frames/second so i pick that setting.
Now , remember to check the frame rates on your camera and the resolution to pick the specific and right setting.
And then  hit OK , so this will show up:




So, then import your footage that works with your settings, and then insert it in your timeline and this is what you will see :



Okay , now what you see is a yellow line above your footage instead of a red line . This yellow line makes things smooth so you can play your footage in real time. But if you see a red line , that means your settings don't work with your footage and it will be very hard and rough to view your footage.
