Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Inserting black before and after

  • Inserting black before and after

    Posted by Tracey Rees on September 24, 2008 at 7:51 pm

    Hello all,

    I created a video in Adobe Premiere Elements. I need to insert black “cue” time before and after the video. How do I do this without screwing up and shifting all the graphics and music? I know there’s got to be an easier way.

    Thanks.

    You should be able to Select/All and ‘shift’ the clips.
    Or, you should be able to nest the sequence – drop your edited sequence into a new sequence. This will allow you to work with your edit as if it were a single clip.
    Either way, you will have to make space in your timeline for the cues.

    Thank you so much! I figured it out by importing the final avi. file into a “new” project, with the black buffered into the first and last five seconds.

    Tell me though, what do you mean by “nesting a sequence”?

    To nest a sequence..
    Create a project.
    Do all of your editing within a sequence/timeline.
    Than, you can create another sequence and drop your first sequence into it. You drop the edited sequence into the new timeline just as if it were a single clip.

    You might use this if you intend to apply an effect to an entire sequence, instead of applying it to each individual clip.
    Or, if you are editing a long feature. You could edit each scene in it’s own sequence. Than, drop each scene sequence into a ‘Final’ timeline, for export.

    So, the nest is the final sequence, the one that holds the other (nested) sequences.
