I see, you want to open a Premiere Project in AE via dynamic link. I don’t think you can. That would be cool. You can import a PProj file, and export out as a PProj file, but the dynamic link is not active.

Sure. Check the Adobe website, they have some cool tutorials.

There is no automatic earthquake effect in Pro. You would have to keyframe position offsets manually. In After Effects however, it is a piece of cake.

Encore is bundled with the Adobe Suite, not built in to Premiere Pro. It is a seperate program, and for one DVD it is way too expensive. But you can use any length video as ‘play first’. Check to see what you have access to.

Not sure what is expensive to you – Adobe Encore 2.0 will allow you to set a clip as “play first”, before switching to the menu. But Encore does have a steep learning curve. New CS4 versions cost $800, but I’ve seen older CS3 versions for around $350 online.

Except that it is postage-stamp sized! It’s been like that since 6.5! Why? That’s what I meant by ‘terrible interface’. This is such an easy thing to fix. Maybe in CS4?

Next time don’t replace your original audio, just mute the tracks and place the Master audio on a new track. This will save you the trouble of all the work you have to do now. It’s actually not so bad once you start getting used to it.
With the CTI hovered over a clip, if you press “m” {I have CS3, you may need to check your keyboard customization settings for the right shortcut for MATCH FRAME} the source panel will reveal the clip with the correct in and out points. MAKE SURE THE CORRECT TRACK IS HIGHLIGHTED FIRST- so if your clip is on track 1, track 1 should be highlighted, not track 2 or 3. Because there is no audio associated with the clip, only the video in and out will appear correctly. You now need to snap to the video in point by right clicking on the source monitor timeline, and select “go to clip marker”, and then “video in”. Now set a new in point. Do this with the video out also. Now your audio in and out match the video in and out. You can drag the clip audio to the timeline and place it below the video. If you need to re-link the A/V pair, you need to select them both on the timeline, right click and select “link”.
Unfortunately, I don’t know any other way around this. But it sure beats a re-edit!!

In the tools bin there is a “track select” tool. I think the shortcut is A. This will select everything in the track after the point you click. If you hold down shift when selecting, it will select everything in every track after the point you click. That’s what your looking for.

The function you are looking for is called “automate to sequence”. It will add the transitions for you. Read the help file for it in Premiere, or google it. If you are generating clips from one main video file, you need to create sub-clips and place them in a folder in the project bin, instead of dragging to the timeline.

How about using the auto trace function on the layers’ alpha channel, with roundness set to 0%. That might work. It’s found under the layer menu. You can then expand it with the simple choker.
