Premiere insert/overwrite bug

I would always do the biggest hardest effect first. Just incase it ruins the footage. Make sure the effect is what you want. if not, you can strip it off and not affect the other effects.
Thankfully I don’t need stabilization. How does Warp Stabilizer work for you? My show is a cooking show so it’s all stationary shooting.

Jack, thanks for your reply. I shoot aerial photography from a 20 lb. multicopter (has 6 propellers) so some shots are smother than others. I love the stabilization on PP. The fact that they have now added it to PP CS6, so that you don’t have to go to AAE to use it, is a real convenience. But it can seem to take forever to render at times. One problem is that I have a 2006 1.1 Mac Pro but I have 16 Gbs of ram and have updated the duo core processors to 5355 CPUs with a total now of 8 core. Its better than it was but the bottle neck now seems to be the video card and there is not much I can do about that after adding the ATI 4870. Its a 32 bit machine. Its time for a new Mac for sure as watching the render window is like slow torture. One really finds out how old their machine really is when you start editing video 🙂

I should use the stabilizing feature. Where is it, under video effects?

too cool that you get to shoot from a helicopter. is it your job, hobby? do you have a helicopter, friends, work?

Jack: You can get to the stabilizer by simply typing the word “Stab” in the search box of the effects panel (the panel that lists all of the various effects). It is actually listed under the heading of “Distort” for some reason but the search function is easier and faster. Then just drag it onto your highlighted clip like any other effect. The default settings work very well (at 50%). There are lots of great videos on Youtube and Vimeo explaining the ins and outs of using Warp Stabilizer. If your camera is stationary you should choose the appropriate setting for that: NO MOTION. One setting is for a moving camera and one is for a fixed camera. I use the default setting ‘Smooth Motion’, you want to use the other one if you’re on a tripod.
