Applying global transitions

[Steven L. gotz]

The short clips can have the transition applied by using Automate to Sequence. If they are already on the sequence, Page Down gets to the next cut, and Ctrl-d applies the default transition.

To make them all slow motion, copy them to a new sequence and nest the sequence in their place. Then just time stretch it with the tool, or set the duration using the menu.

How I get roll/still titles over video??

Hector,

I highly recommend that you take a little time to read the manual, and perhaps invest in a training course. These are pretty basic questions.

To Automate to Sequence, select all of the clips in the project window and use the Twirl-Down menu (little triangle in the upper right corner of the project window) to select Automate to Sequence. You might want to place all of the clips in a new bin to make it easier to arrange them first. Then automate it.

For slow motion, you can put all of the clips in a new sequence and then select that sequence from the project window, and place it into the original sequence. You can use the Clip > Speed Duration menu, or you can use the Rate Stretch tool in the toolbox. It is the one made active by using the “X” as a shortcut key while the timeline is the active window. Just stretch the video to make it longer.

Titles are created using File > New > Title (F9) and to select Roll or Crawl, look in the upper left hand corner for Title Type.

Steve, many thanks!
Yeah,I’m very crudito “rare/ rusty” in Premiere despite my 20 years in the video area professionally. I bought Total Training tutorials but hasn’t time to watch the videos. Only one so far… and understanding the English & at the same time the comprehensive tutorial is not a piece of cake. (I speak Spanish)
Worst is to find where is the answer to a specific doubt in all 7 or 9 discs (still un-openned)
I don’t know the rest but my concern is why those tutorials hasn’t language selection….million of people speak spanish and thousands are editors.

Been working with Premiere less than 2 months.. this is my second wedding (with Premiere) when at the same time capturing/editing with ScreenPlay nle.
This is a piece of cake and do Almost the same as Premiere. This almost is why I’m entering in one editing PC integration…more flexibility

Now, will ckeck how I can overimpose a title in Premiere…(letters in top of the video) I loaded into the second video track but can’t find how?? >> opacity<

[Steven L. gotz]

When you create a title with the Title Designer, you save it and then from the project window, drag it into a track above the video. The transparency of the background is automatic.
