  • A-B roll editing in PPRO 1.5

    Posted by Skye Sweeney on February 12, 2006 at 9:48 pm

    Some time ago I was given the suggestion to shrink my three camera scene by 50% and put each camera in its own corner of the preview. This works great for placing the cuts just where you want them.

    The problem is I now have to go back and modify the position and scale back to defaults on each of hundred clips! My fingers and mouse are getting tired! I can’t seem to select multiple clips to modify at the same time. I looked inside the prproj file but could not see a simple pattern. Any tricks on setting identical position and scale values to multiple clips?

    There are presets in PPro 1.5.1 and 2.0 that will put your clips into four corners. But in PPro 2.0 you can use the Multicam feature to do the switching.

    I found the presets in PPRO 1.5. They only seem to put a clip into a corner. I found nothing that would restore a clip to its original (100% centered) condition. Puting the three cameras to the corners was the simple part. I only to do that once per camera. But trying to go back now that I have done the edit and have a 100 clips is a pain.

    I tried to figure out if I could create a preset to restore a clip and failed. It would seem that scale and position are too ‘simple’ to be added to a preset in PPRO 1.5

    So, Is there a trick to quickly restoring a gazillion clips?

    All you have to do is set one of them back to normal, then copy that one and paste attributes to the rest.
