03. Starting out in Premiere
Now that we have all of our stitched shots, the process of editing is what will turn them into one amazing 360 video.
The first step is to download and install the Adobe Premiere trial. Premiere is one of the world’s most popular video editing applications. We’ll be using it to edit 360 footage in this lesson.
When you open up Premiere, select “New Project” and then accept the default settings for your project.
Click “New Project…” to get started
There are different things you could change at this step, but at this time we don’t really need to focus on that.

For now, just be sure to give your project an appropriate name and change its Location to a directory underneath your course materials project folder.
Set your project name and location
Let’s import all of our stitched footage.
Use the Media Browser panel to browse to your rendered 360 video from Autopano Video.
Use the Media Browser to locate your stitched 360 footage.
Right-click on your footage to import it into Premiere.
Import your footage into your project by right-clicking on it and selecting “Import”
You’ll seen anything immediately change inside of Premiere. But, if you flip over the Project tab, you’ll see that your footage was successfully imported.
The Project Pane holds all the assets for your final movie.
You can think of the Project pane as something similar to the assets panel in Unity. It holds all the things you may want to use including footage, text, audio, stills, and sequences.
It’s a very good practice to create folders inside your project to organize your assets. These folders are called Bins. You can create new bins by right-clicking inside the Project Pane.
Go ahead and create new bins for your Raw Footage, Sequences, Music, and Titles.
While not explicitly required, creating bins for your project will greatly help you organize your work.
