This is a short tutorial on how to manage all your video content stored in Overcast through your Adobe Premiere Pro Panel
Â
The first thing you want to do is get logged in. To do that:
- Go to Adobe exchange – https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.105076.html
- Choose OvercastÂ
- And login
Â
Now, the first thing you will see by default is all the projects open and all the videos in your library – this is the home asset page.
The next thing you are going to want to do is import some assets to create a new sequence.
There are 2 main ways to find your content – search or browse by project. To browse by project:Â
- Click on the project drop down menu
- Choose the project you are working withÂ
- Find you video asset
- Click on the import button
- Choose the original or proxy – or import both
- The content will then be saved to your local discÂ
- And it will appear in the project panel below the assets
- An indicator will appear below the asset indicating whether you have imported the original or the proxy.
Â
The second way to import content is to use the search bar
- Search “timelapses” (must have comments on it)
- then import the original and the proxy
Â
Now – let’s move on to working with assets
- You can easily toggle between working with proxies and originals using this button here
- You can preview the asset by clicking on the thumbnail and pressing play
- If there are comments you can review the comments by clicking the comment button
- You can review the asset info by clicking the info button
Â
Next – we’ll show you how to upload a new sequence to your Overcast account
- Start by creating the new sequence out of the assets you’ve imported
- Then – to upload that sequence, simply click on the upload button
- Choose the new format from the preset formats
- Then you need to choose a project and possibly a folder to store it in – in your Overcast account.
- Then click the upload button.
- Then you will be asked to save the new sequence to an output directory. This will start the media encoder to render your new version. When this is complete – it will automatically upload your new sequence.
Note: The system recognises duplications and will only upload new filesÂ
Â
And then you will have your new file in your Overcast account.
Â
I hope this helps you with all your content management in the future.
