Nice free transitions for PrP 5.5

[Tom Daigon]

I am using Adobe CS6 Premiere Pro and After Effects. That scene is a 3 way split screen using the techniques of speed control, freeze frame and screen placement to achieve the look.

I learn by finding things I like the look of an them trying to imitate and recreate them. Learn the basics of editing so you have a foundation to build on. And above all, have fun.

sounds like that software is better than the adobe pre elements.. I brought this one because of it’s high rating..

I don’t think I have speed control or screen placement..
do you know if such plugins for this ?

[Tom Daigon]

Sorry, I am not familiar with your software or the plugins that work with it.

Maybe reading the manual for Elements can help answer your questions.

once again,,thanks for your quick reply..Im determined and thinking about getting the software you have just to do the video similar to the footloose you have..

did you have to buy any additional plugins?

[Tom Daigon]

I have lots, but I only use them to achieve a look when needed. Very few were used in the Footloose Video. Most affects are manually built or achieve through basic editing techniques. There are no short cuts to creativity. 😀

Effects should help tell the story. Random use of plugin effects can really crap things up , in my humble opinion. 😉

Good luck in your future projects.

good to know…
I will let you know how I did on my video..which isn’t til spring,but looking now to get ahead..

I have done several videos.but same transitions etc…getting boring!

[Lynsie Moriarty]

Tom,,I went to check out the Adobe premiere pro and the price is 695.00? is that the right one?

[Tom Daigon]

I use the Production Bundle which includes Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and some other programs I use as well.

Personally I wouldn’t just get Premiere since After Effects is crucial in creating special effects.

You can buy the dvds of the software or if you have a fast internet connection you can buy the Cloud version which is like leasing the software on a monthly basis. I prefer to buy the dvd disks myself. The Cloud is a bit cheaper.

Here is a link to the Adobe store.

Hi Tom !
Last night I actually tried the Adobe pro “trial ver” and was really disappointed ,,it really isn’t much different then the element… exactly same transitions etc.. the only thing I saw different was you could actually see the video before putting it in the timeline

Thanks for the info on the cloud.I will check it out.. thanks again so much for this is a big help!….

PS…looking to use the ballerina effect..or such as a 3 way in one video .

[Lynsie Moriarty]

well it’s midnight..downloaded the creative clouds,, speed, and prelude along with prem pro

still have no idea where to start..they refer me to adobe tv which is all talking,,I don’t see any tutorials ..

spent nine hours trying to figure it out ,,they try to tell me it’s user friendly?

elements I learned on my own,, didn’t read any instructions..

why does the pro look or seems complicated
