re: making a simple animation from stills
Hi Guys,
First time poster here! Doing a final year project at the moment, with loads of different bits and bobs going on, however, I need help from you guys with one particular item.
I’m having to make some really short animations to use as part of my final presentation, and I’ve been told by many that premiere pro would give me best results.
the animation is just going to be made from 8 stills, and I’ve already imported these, editted them down to the playback speed / length I want, and have added transitions etc etc…
however, it’s in exporting / rendering that I need assistance. I want them to be the same frame ratio as the original photos. they are 2304×3456 so i would take them down to say 576×864 to keep the ratio the same. however i don’t want a black frame either side!
can anyone tell me firstly, is this possible (to create a movie file which can have a custom frame with no black edges, and if so…how?!)
i hope i’ve specified my situation clearly enough above, if not just ask me any questions you need in order to help me.
thanks a lot in advance to anyone who can offer advice

Probably not possible witout the black frame, whit such an odd resolution.
What is the medium you are going to play this movie on? -
Ann’s point is important, we’d need to know how you intend to display the work to best answer your question.
I’m in PP1.5 so there might be some differences, and I’m on a PC. But anyway, to make a project that has a non-standard frame size, you would need to create a new project, go into Custom Settings, and in the Editing Mode select your desktop editing mode: mine is ‘Video for Windows’, I’m unsure what it would be for Mac.??
Then you can set your video frame size to whatever you want.Then you could import the original project into the new one.

The video would be for use in a presentation, made in something like powerpoint, or as a pdf through adobe acrobat.
i will try what you suggested this evening when i’m back home.
