Importing files is an essential task for anyone working with software like Adobe Premiere Pro CC. In this article, we will discuss different ways to import files to Premiere Pro CC and how to deal with file types. Whether you are importing files for video editing or just looking for ways to import data into a database like MySQL, we have got you covered. Read on to learn more about the different ways to import files and data.
Importing File Types to Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Adobe Premiere Pro CC is a professional-level video editing software that can work with different file types. However, it is important to note that not all files are compatible with Premiere Pro CC. Some file types require additional software or codecs to be imported. Here are the most common video file types that Premiere Pro CC can work with:
- MOV
- MP4
- MPEG-2
- AVI
- WMV
If you are working with a different file type, you may need to convert it before importing it into Premiere Pro CC. It is also important to note that some file types may not be compatible with certain features of Premiere Pro CC, such as 4K resolution or certain video codecs.
Three Ways to Import Files to Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Now that you know the file types that Premiere Pro CC can work with, let’s discuss the different ways to import files to the software.
Method 1: Importing Files Using the Media Browser
The easiest and most convenient way to import files to Premiere Pro CC is by using the Media Browser. This feature allows you to browse files on your computer and import them directly to your project. Here’s how to use the Media Browser:
- Open Premiere Pro CC and create a new project
- Open the Media Browser by clicking on the “Window” menu and selecting “Media Browser”
- Browse for the files you want to import and select them
- Drag and drop the selected files to the “Project” panel in Premiere Pro CC
Once you have imported your files, you can drag them to the timeline and start editing.
Method 2: Importing Files Using the Import Dialogue
If you prefer to use a traditional import dialogue, you can also import files to Premiere Pro CC using this method. Here’s how:
- Open Premiere Pro CC and create a new project
- Click on “File” in the menu bar and select “Import”
- Browse for the files you want to import and select them
- Click “Open”
Your files will now be imported to Premiere Pro CC. Like the Media Browser, you can drag and drop them to the timeline and start editing.
Method 3: Importing Projects From Other Software
If you are transitioning from another video editing software, you may want to import your existing projects to Premiere Pro CC. This is possible with the following formats:
- Avid Attic
- Final Cut Pro 7 XML
- Final Cut Pro X XML
- DaVinci Resolve
- EDL
To import projects from other software, follow these steps:
- Open Premiere Pro CC and create a new project
- Click on “File” in the menu bar and select “Import”
- Browse for the project you want to import and select it
- Click “Import”
Your project should now be imported to Premiere Pro CC. Note that some elements like effects and transitions may not transfer properly, so you may need to make some adjustments.
Making Sense of Data: Importing Excel Files
Importing data is an important task for anyone working with databases like MySQL. One of the most common ways to import data to a database is by using Excel files. Here’s how to import Excel files to MySQL using PHP:
Step 1: Prepare Your Excel File
The first step is to prepare your Excel file for import. Your file should have a header row that lists the fields you want to import. Make sure the data in each column is consistent and doesn’t contain any typos or errors.
Step 2: Create a MySQL Database
The next step is to create a MySQL database and a table to hold the imported data. You can do this using a tool like phpMyAdmin or by running SQL commands in the terminal. Here’s an example SQL command to create a table:
CREATE TABLE users ( id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, first_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, last_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(50), );
This command creates a table called “users” with four columns: id, first_name, last_name, and email. You can modify this command to fit your specific needs.
Step 3: Connect to the Database Using PHP
The next step is to connect to your MySQL database using PHP. You can do this using the mysqli_connect() function. Here’s an example:
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
This code connects to a MySQL database named “my_db” on the “localhost” server. Make sure to replace “my_user” and “my_password” with your own database username and password.
Step 4: Read Excel File and Insert Data to MySQL
Now that you have connected to your database, it’s time to read the Excel file and insert the data into your MySQL table. Here’s an example PHP script that does this:
require_once 'PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel.php';
// Create a new PHPExcel object
$objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load("data.xlsx");
// Get the first sheet
$sheet = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet();
// Get the highest row number and column letter
$highestRow = $sheet->getHighestRow();
$highestColumn = $sheet->getHighestColumn();
// Loop through each row
for ($row = 2; $row <= $highestRow; $row++)
// Retrieve the data from the current row
$rowData = $sheet->rangeToArray('A' . $row . ':' . $highestColumn . $row, NULL, TRUE, FALSE);
// Insert the data to the MySQL table
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name, email)
VALUES ('" . $rowData[0][0] . "', '" . $rowData[0][1] . "', '" . $rowData[0][2] . "')";
if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql))
die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));
echo "Data Imported Successfully!";
This script reads the data from an Excel file named “data.xlsx”, loops through each row, and inserts the data to the “users” table in the MySQL database. Note that this example assumes your Excel file has three columns named “first_name”, “last_name”, and “email”.
