premiere 6.5 eiditng difficulties…
hello guyz,
there’s something I still dont understand in the adobe premiere 6.5 and its the video track.
ok, let me take some time to exlplain my suitation to you guyz…
1. when I get together my footage in my video bin, i then initiate the adobe storyboard….this is where i arrange all my scenes in the other i want them to appear…after arranging, i then import all the scenes into the timeline…now this is the problem…when eva i include a black video at the begining of the timeline, it never stretches beyond the first scene…WHY!?
2. what is A/B eiditing and in adobe premiere’s video 1 and video 2 tracks, which of the 2 is more imortant or rather which must the first scene go into…that is having the black video in mind.
3. when using plug-ins in adobe premiere 6.5..can they be automated…i mean, trying to change the way the plug-in effect will act rather than just being too steady..
4. how can i re-create a slow-motion effect in adobe premiere 6.5
5. when eiditng, does it make sense using an external monitor when premire provides a monitor for you while editing.
6. what is a poster frame…
7. when shooting a film, you shoot lots and lots of scenes. i have also come to realsie that most films last for about 1hr 45mins. I want to beleive they are all planned out in the pre-production stage. my question now is this, when editing, how does the video editor gets all these scenes together in one piece to make a film. i think there should be some kind of planning sheet or something of sort…so he doesnt get confused/lost along the way.
regards,

Answer 1: Try to learn how to stretch a clip (especially the still clips like your black video). Move your mouse to the end of the black video (hopefully this a Premiere Title) and drag it to the right. If you have a clip sitting there, it won’t go any further. But if you drag your clip to an empty track you are able to make it longer than clip number 1.
Answer 2: A/B editing means that you run 2 tracks in parallel. The point where 2 clips overlap is where you want to put A/B Transitions.
If one track is empty but the other is not, then don’t worry. Then it will be just as if it is transparent. If there is no clip at all, it will render black.3. when using plug-ins in adobe premiere 6.5..can they be automated…i mean, trying to change the way the plug-in effect will act rather than just being too steady..
Answer 3: I hope I get your question right. Double click on the effect and change its properties. If it’s a simple A/B Fade, then there’s nothing you can do. If it’s a more complex effect, you’ll see options of what to change (for example Blinds: Number of Blinds or Alignment). Usually the Effects that come with Premiere don’t allow a change in speed within the Effect. To do so, you’ll need to add the same effect at least twice. One going from 0% to 50% and the other one doing the rest. If Effect 1 takes 2 Seconds and Effect 2 only 1 second, you’ll notice a speed change.
Answer 4: Change Speed of Video below 100%
Answer 5: YES! This will give you TV output. A computer screen shows a non interlaced video, the TV will… (this is important on titling and when working at the border (outside TV Safe zone)).
Answer 6: Can’t tell, I’m using german version of Premiere.
Answer 7: I do wedding videos. Aiming for aprox. 1 h total time of the Video. While editing, experience will help you in not making scenes too long. Besides, when a Hollywood movie is done, there’s someone who puts together the scenes while considering the storyline. So he has the important scenes and has the option to leave out less important ones. A Storyline is what you want when doing a movie. If you do a documentation (a wedding video would be a documentation), you’ll have to use every good scene taken and at the end cut out the ones you don’t want (or think that you can live without them)….
Cheers,
Thorsten
