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.
