Starting Premier

Deleting the Premiere Preferences File

Before we begin this tutorial and before starting Premiere 6.5, we will delete an important

prefer-ences file used by Premiere. Using theWindows Search Utility on the menu, enter the

name Premiere 6.5 Prefs (be sure to include the quotation marks) and look in theC:\ drive.

When the file appears in the search window,click once on its name and

then pressthe key and send the file to the Recycle Bin. Premiere will

automatically create a new Premiere 6.5 Prefs file using the original "factory" settings when

you start the program. With this done, yourPremiere screens will look just like the views in

these tutorials

NOTE: When you start working on your own video productions in Premiere,

there will be no need to routinely delete the Premiere 6.5 Prefs file. However,sometimesyour computer crashes during an editing session and you discoverthat Premiere is not

functioning well after restarting your system. In this case,you can often fix a host of problems

by exiting Premiere, deleting the prefer-ences file, and reloading your project.
