Adobe Prelude helps you review, ingest, log, select, and export video, similar to how Photoshop Lightroom is used with images. Join MAX Master Jason Levine for an introduction to Prelude that will help you get the most out of this powerful production tool.In this session, you'll learn how to:• Organize your media from a shoot• Leverage the power of metadata to log your footage• Speed up your editing process using the unique logging features in Prelude

In this episode, Jason walks you thru the ingest process within Adobe Prelude CS6; from reviewing and selecting media, to performing partial ingest and transcoding into ProRes, DNxHD, MXF-0P1a, and many other popular formats. The footage on display was shot with a Nikon D800, so this reflects a typical DSLR ingest/log/rough cut workflow.

Sharing your work can be exciting, productive, and can play an important role in refining a project. A Rough Cut screening is a great way to facilitate media sharing and should be done in a supportive and respectful environment. In this video you’ll learn how to conduct a Rough Cut Screening or Gallery Walk.
