MediaStorm Guide to Importing Canon C300 Footage into Premiere Pro CC [Screencast]

This article is part of a series of posts with tips and tricks from our producers' experience working with Adobe Premiere Pro after years of working in Final Cut Pro. To read more about why we made the switch, check out this post. Recently, while importing Canon C300 footage into Premiere Pro CC, I realized that many of the longer clips were being duplicated on ingest. For instance, I’d have three of the same files, the only difference was their last two digits. This happened both when I used File > Import and when I double-clicked the Project window. The trick, I discovered, is to import via the Media Browser. Select your file, right-click, and choose Import. You’ll ingest the files properly, with no duplicates. Check out the accompanying screencast, for a more detailed explanation.

Vinay Jawahar’s People Like Us

After growing up Bombay, India and spending several years studying and working in the United States, Vinay Jawahar returned to India with his camera to find something.

“I toyed with the idea of ‘Invisible India’ or, less dramatically, ‘The India You Missed While You Were at The Mall’,” he tells The Boston Coffee House. “Something really didactic and embarrassingly unsubtle about the India eclipsed by gated communities, swanky (and less than swanky) malls, and gleaming office towers. A second (and secondary) instinct was to tease out a technical or, if I were feeling truly bold, an artistic narrative.”

While those stories are told, Jawahar’s photo essay ultimately documents something more fundamental – memory of a simpler time.

“These photographs remind me that that country [I remember] is still a reality,” said Jawahar.
