2questions about resizing and workflow-related.
I’m new to Premiere and I’m new to any kind of movie making.
I’ve just recorded a concert with three cams, edited all clips with MultiCam function. The thing is. Now I want to export this movie for the bandmembers to look at but also I want to make a shorter “promo” version of the same material.
I figured it would be more easy to start a new project and import the export of the long version. How do I do that without any or little loss of quality?
Question number two: The recordings were done with 3 iPhone5 but one of the cameras was to far back so i really need to zoom in or crop or something without loosing to much quality. I figured that I need to go from 100% to about 140% and I used the Clip effects control and something called motion scale? and resized the clip. Is that the best way of doing it? I mean… I really don’t need 1080 as output. 720 would do i think… Should I have started a smaller project and decreast the other two instead of this way were I increased one of the clips?
thank you for any help that i could get.

Just duplicate your final timeline and start trimming that. No need to start a new project.

You could create a 720p timeline and edit in there. Then you simply scale down the other two cameras and you’ll be able to scale up the the third camera and won’t distort the image too much.
