Import settings Premiere Pro

Recommended Posts

I'm a long time Avid user but are learning Premiere. I'm trying to figure out how to get more control over the imported clips. I can't find any global import settings or detailed settings in the interpret option of each clip.

To be specific;

  • In Avid I can choose the source levels such as RGB or rec709 so that I can make sure that the clips will be interpreted as rec709 if that is what I want. Do I have this control in Premiere?
  • I also want to decide to import my clips "untouched". In Avid I can choose to not touch an image when importing or scale it to fit. 
  • How does it treat Alpha channel import? Can I choose to invert or ignore alpha?

It's similar to After Effects in some respects, where you right-click and select Modify/Interpret Footage. There's no settings in here for choosing levels or colour space - it's something I asked the Adobe demonstrators at various trade shows and never got a satisfactory answer. There are colour management settings in AE, but the last time I used PP I couldn't find a similar menu.
