| We start this project just as we do all of the projects in this book: by starting Premiere Elements, creating a new project, and bringing in our initial clips. In this case, we are using a single video clip, nightsuspects.avi. Later, we'll modify this clip to look as if it's being viewed through nightvision goggles. We'll also create those "goggles" right in Premiere Elements. Find a Clip and Add it to the Timeline - Start Premiere Elements and create a new project called nightvision.
- Click the Get Media from button on the Media panel to access the Get Media from view, if it's not already active.
- Select DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader.
- When the Media Downloader displays, click the Advanced Dialog button to switch to Advanced mode.
- Select the nightsuspects.avi clip.
- Click the Get Media button. Premiere Elements copies the nightsuspects.avi clip from the DVD onto your hard drive and adds it to the Available Media list for this project.
- Drag on drop the nightsuspects.avi clip on the Media panel onto the Timeline in the Video 1 track. Be sure to line up the head of the nightsuspects.avi clip with the start of the Video 1 track.
Tip If you're in Sceneline view, drop the clip onto the first scene box. Premiere Elements automatically places it on the Video 1 track.
