  Border (stroke) around a clip?

  Posted by Mike Berry on July 4, 2008 at 2:21 am

  I have a standard PAL sized video (720×576) loaded into Premier, and also I have imported a smaller resolution clip (320×240).

  What I want to do it have the smaller clip playing in the middle of the larger full screen clip. That in itself is not a problem, but to make the smaller clip stand out a little better from the background, I’d like to surround it with a 3 or 4 pixel wide black border, like putting a stroke effect on text. I’m not sure that can even do this in a standard install of Premier (CS3). My guess is I’m going to have to search around for some kind of plug-in to do this?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Mike.

  The clip-effect was dropped from CS3. You can make a rectangle a bit larger than the small clip in the titler and drop it behind the small clip on the timeline.

  Thank you for the reply Ann. Such a pity it isn’t a simpler process, but I can handle it 😉

  Hi

  In the transform effects,apply the camera view filter to the footage and go to effects control and open the camera view settings change the zoom or distance value and also the change the fill color.
  This may look a border around the clip.
