3 When you’re finished, clear all the text in the Search box so all the files are
visible.
4 Click the Find icon at the bottom of the Project panel to experiment with a
more detailed, specific search tool. This tool is helpful when you have a lot of
assets and the search tool is not specific enough.
Tip: You can clear
the search criteria
from the Search box
by clicking the x to the
right of the Search box
input area.

42 LESSON 2
Selecting Settings, Adjusting Preferences, and Managing Assets
Finding assets with the Media Browser The Media Browser in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 allows you to easily browse for
files on your computer. Unlike the Import dialog (or Choose Object dialog) you
used previously in this lesson, the Media Browser can stay open all the time and be
docked where you find it convenient. In Lesson 3 you’ll learn how useful the Media
Browser is for finding and importing file-based media such as P2, AVCHD, and
XDCAM assets.
The Media Browser is pretty self-explanatory. You’ll learn to use it by importing the
same assets you did earlier via the Import dialog (or Choose Object dialog).
1 Open Lesson 02-01.prproj in the Lesson 02 folder. This project should have no
assets imported yet.
2 Expand the Media Browser by dragging its right edge to the right.
3 Using the Media Browser, navigate to the Lessons/Assets folder.
4 Select the same assets as you did before, and drag them to the Project panel.
Tip: Filter the assets you’re looking for by using the Files of Type menu in the Media Browser
to filter them.
