  • Switching from Vegas to Premiere Elements

    Posted by Ryan Mcrobb on May 12, 2013 at 3:31 am

    Hi folks,

    I am an experienced Vegas Pro user however I have to use Premiere Elements as part of an educational project I will be involved with in the next few months. I am going to try to get my Premiere Elements skills up by editing an interview shoot, which consists of two cameras, and an external audio feed. My initial queries are:

    * How do I edit the video in smaller increments than a frame? I need to be able to do this to sync the audio and videos together accurately. Vegas has the ‘Quantize to Frame’ checkbox to do this.

    * Are there Solo and Mute buttons on each track and if so, where are they?

    * How do I delete empty tracks? The ‘Delete Empty Tracks’ option doesn’t seem to do anthing.

    * Is there any kind of a ‘multicamera mode’ that I could use for quickly switching between my two camera channels?

    Here is what my timeline is currently looking like. Note the out of sync audio transients. I’d be most grateful if anyone can offer any help!

    Kind Regards,

    Ryan

    Premiere Elements is a consumer level program, for the professional user very limited.
    You cannot move audio smaller then 1 frame (Premiere Pro can – its called audio units)
    You can mute a audio track in the Audio Mixer.
    Right click on the header in the video or audio track to delete an empty track.
    No multicam mode.
