A few beginner questions. Sorry :(
I’m switching to Premiere CS4 from a different editing application and just want to ask a few things..
1. Other than being able to change speed over time with keyframes, is there any difference in changing clip speed using time remapping or by changing clip speed/duration by CTRL-R?
2. I need a fast way to make a clip 50% speed or 30% speed after I drop it on the timeline. Other than CTRL-R and typing ’50’ are there other quick ways?
3. What’s a fast way to copy and paste a clip attributes? This is another thing I do a lot of. Can I select which attributes?
4. Can I make the mouse wheel zoom into the timeline rather than the + and – keys?
5. I need a hard ‘flash’ -from- white on clips. One way I can think of would be a white solid on a layer above a clip and a crossfade effect to fade the white away. Other than this, is there a better way?
6. How can I create a white solid clip? Or a clip of any colour? I can only seem to create a black clip by going File -> New -> Black Video.
7. Lets say I have a clip on the timeline amongst hundreds of others, and I want to see where this clip is in it’s original source file in the source monitor – (where I first selected the in/out points) How can I do this? Why? For the reason of possibly selecting other in/out points around that time frame
Sorry for all these questions..

1.Time Remapping wont ripple trailing clips or change audio.
2. no
3 no
4 not that i know
6 File>New>Color Matte. Dont use Black Video…there is a bug.
7. Right click on the clip in the Timeline and choose”Reveal in Project” then double click the now highlighted clip in the source window to see the latest in-out points. -

What’s the fastest way to apply a 50% time remap to a clip? Be it a shortcut or whatever? I need to fit this in as part of my workflow because it’s something I do a lot of: i.e, drop clip on timeline, add 50% slomo.

An alternate method would be to right/click on the clip in the Project Window and choose Interpret Footage and change the frame rate to half.

You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.
