Create a border for a picture Premiere Pro 1.5
I am using Premiere Pro 1.5 (yes, I know it’s old) on a Dell xps600. I’m doing a project that is a weekly show that airs regularly and I took this over from someone with more experience with Premiere Pro than I have but no more experience than I have with editing in general.
He did an open build where he has created a border around resized frames of video. I figured out how to resize and I also figured out how he did the transitions (cube spin) and I have created a nice drop shadow for the resized video frames (which sit over a background). I cannot figure out how to do the borders he did on the outside edges of the frames.
Does anyone remember Premiere Pro 1.5 well enough to point me in the right direction?
What if there were no hypothetical questions?

The easiest, without creating a template in Photoshop.
Create a new color matte, place in below your video track.
Resize both, and make the matte a few pixels larger.

I shall do this when I get in to work tomorrow, Vince. I’m looking forward to building a template that will make my workflow faster so that I can embellish from there.

OK, I did that and it did work, though it adds another video layer to the mix.
I kept playing around with some of the effects and found I could do the same thing with the “Clip” effect, which will allow me to fill left, top, right and bottom with a color. If I place the drop shadow beneath that effect, I get the effect that I want, which is a surround border on a picture-in-picture. A picture being a thousand words, please see the enclosed.

You can use the Adobe titler to make borders for your PIPs complete with images and texure maps.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the version that you are demonstrating there. I’m using Premiere Pro 1.5, which doesn’t let you do that in the titler.
Titler Fill types are Solid, Linear Gradient, Radial Gradient, 4-color Gradient, Bevel, Eliminate and Ghost.
None of those are video.
So if we upgrade, I’m looking forward to being able to do that.

Mark,
You can do it but you are not thinking correctly (fill ?). You have to make use of transparency and the ever so popular stroke (inner or outer).
Give it a whirl.

Can you talk me through this a little more?
I have created a rectangle (Graphic type).
For Fill, I have Solid
Inner stroke is set to Edge but that doesn’t seem to get my video in there.
Outer stroke, I’ve played around with that.
I have messed around with Opacity but there is no transparency setting in any of the strokes, fills and properties that I can see. Remember, I’m using 1.5 here.What if there were no hypothetical questions?

One method:
If you right click on the rectangle I think you should get options to have it (bezier line) filled or hollow.Another Method:
For fill you would set the opacity to 0% and the inner or out stroke to 100%. You should have a border. You will have to fine tune it to fit the PIP. I use a nice NTSC monitor when doing this as opposed to a 1/8 size VGA screen. Your best bet is to use a new sequence for the PIP with a border.
