Alex, your advice was great. We figured it out.. The fx tab as you know is in the export option. Thank you!

Really this was just great. Saved us a lot of encoding/prep time with the automation of watermark. Thanks again!

Hi Alex,

How are you? Updated to latest version of Premiere Media Encoder.

Thanks again for your detailed response. A few concerns:

5) open the setting attached to the clip to adjust (Not sure how/where to do this. Would you please explain?)

6) in the fx tab enable image overlay, select your logo, scale and adjust opacity to taste (Where is the fx tab? Is this in in Premiere or AME?)

Other than that I think I follow your generous advice.

Hi Alex,

Thanks as always for your great advice.

It works like a charm.

I have a couple questions on an earlier post you responded with great advice. so as to not confuse I will resend that query to you at that post.

I hope you can explain on your instruction… got most of it and trying it now.

Thanks again!

Hi Paul,

Initially we didn’t think this would resolve our challenge because upon completing video edit we did need and audio track to lay an instrumental.

Remarkably, when we select our music in the project bin and press our Insert shortcut it drops the audio onto an audio track (in spite of having modified audio to zero tracks).

While we never modified the audio in the past and it allowed us to routinely do this, yours is a great solution with only 1 step at the beginning (modify audio).

Thank you!

Hi Alex,

Before I reply to your query; good news! Have most recent version of Premiere Pro and AME (2014). Hope with the small exchange we’ve had you can again provide a fantastic expedited way to address my challenge of creating multiple sequences with a watermark.

QUESTION: “Is this one long clip split into exactly 10 sec segments or 10 segments from different places within the long clip?”

ANSWER: The segments (sequences) on average will be 5-10 seconds and they will come from one long clip of various footage (we used a joiner program and joined dozens of short individual shots into one clip).

Thanks in advance… i guess we are back to my original question/challenge and now you know I’m up to date with software. hope my new info provides a more expedited fix. Thanks again Alex!

Hi, Alex,thank you again for your wonderful advice. Yes too repetitive due to my outdated version.

I will upgrade to latest and return to seek advice if you are open to provide it.

Thanks again!

I found a way to expedite and create new sequences but it seems a bit excessive due to limitations on Premiere Pro CS5.5. Perhaps a newer version has resolved or you know a work around in CS5.5?

First I set the in/out points in the source monitor. I then press my keyboard shortcut for “new sequence from clip”, but Premiere has “greyed out” the shortcut because by working in the source monitor it disengages the source file in the project bin. So now I have to mouse over and re-click the source file in the project bin and then the shortcut “new sequence from clip” works. So this added back and forth from source monitor to the source file in the project bin is frustrating (keep in mind I’m doing this 50 times a day).

I think when working with the source file in the source monitor and creating a new clip (setting in/out points) that when you next select “new sequence from clip” it should work. You shouldn’t have to go re-engage the original source file. I hope this has been corrected in a newer version or perhaps there’s a better way in CS5.5 and the shortcoming is with me. 🙂

Thanks for any advice.

It appears I have to open and bring the video into individual sequences one at a time in Premiere? Is there a way to faster do this? I have a shortcut for “new sequence” and I set my end/out point and then a shortcut to place that clip onto the sequence. Any thoughts to expedite this process?

Thank you again! Wow, great advice.

Thanks for looking into it Stan.
Here are screen caps. We have not intentionally modified anything. Perhaps inadvertent? 🙂

I figured it out…

Turn the file into a ‘smart object’ and then apply filter.

Thank you.
