How do you create a new project in Media Composer?

• A. Use the Select Project window, click New Project, enter a name, choose a format, then click Create.
• B. Open File > New Project and enter a name.
• C. Create a project by importing a template from the gallery.
• D. Start a new project by dragging a clip into the Project panel.

Answer: (A)

Creating a new project means setting up a fresh project container with a chosen name and its video settings before you start editing. The right workflow is to use the Select Project window, choose New Project, enter a name, pick the desired format (resolution and frame rate), and then click Create. This initializes the project with those settings so all media, timelines, and bins are interpreted correctly from the start. Other actions like dragging a clip into the Project panel or importing a template don’t establish a properly configured new project, so using the New Project path in the Select Project window ensures you start with the correct name and format.
