February 24, 2015 at 4:13 pm in reply to: Is there an easy way to label clips for review by someone?We do a lot of interviews for videos and what we do is get every interview transcribed into a word document. When the transcription document comes back I will label each paragraph or each question answered (Whatever make more sense.) with the persons initial and number. Example: John Smith’s first answered question would be JS01. As I am naming each paragraph I will also be making corresponding sub-clips in Premiere. After this stage is complete the client / director will go thru the entire transcripted document and and make a select rough cut with my naming (JS01) attached to each paragraph or sentence. All I have to do is drag the sub-clips into the timeline and quickly build the sequence. It also makes easy for revisions when the client says go to clip named JS01 and I can just do a sequence find for that clip.
Hope this helps.
On a somewhat related note I have been using more “master” color correction effects on the clips themselves for projects like this and noticed that if I apply the color correction to the main clip that the sub-clip is made from the color effect is not applied to the sub-clip. You either have to apply the color effect to each sub-clip or do the color correction on the main clip before making the sub-clips.

We have recently started to use a website called ScreenLight. Easy to navigate and add comments to videos.

March 26, 2014 at 1:09 pm in reply to: Automatically adding a video crossfade when I want to apply only an audio crossfadeSteve,
I can think of 2 options.
1. Turn off “Linked Selection” in your timeline. This way it will only select the audio or video edit point you select.
2. Hold down the option key (mac) when select the audio edit point. This essentially does the same thing as above but when you let go of the option key it will return to the “Linked Selection” turned on.

January 29, 2014 at 10:57 pm in reply to: Why aoes Premiere tween things when I don’t want it to?Sound like there is some Temporal interpolation going on between the frames. The best thing to do when you have 2 keyframes with the same value and you what it to stay consistent is “right click” the first of these 2 keyframes choose Temporal Interpolation > Hold. This will hold the value of this keyframe until it gets to the next keyframe. Which in this case has the same values.
Hope this helps. This is a good thing to know for after effects as well.

I would say the simplest thing would be to just use 2 keyframes. The first and last. Control the arc by adjusting the bezier handles of the first and last keyframes in you comp window to achieve the arch you want. Generally the less keyframes the better.

When this happens to me in CS6 I can adjust the audio gain by just 1db and it will refresh the audio waveform. You can then rest the audio again by -1 to restore it back to the original db.
To find Audio Gain: Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain

Hmmmm. I’ll have to give this some more thought. In the mean time…
I haven’t used BorisFX “Red” but it claims to have this ability to animate pie charts.

I did find this script that builds pie charts. It allows you to animate from one percent to the other and move that 2D shape 3D. It doesn’t appear to give you the ability to have any extruded depth to your shape.

You could create your pie pieces in Illustrator and then import as a composition or copy/paste them into a shape layer. This would also give you the ability to divide up the pie chart portions in the exact amounts you are looking for.
If this doesn’t make sense let me know. I am not the most proficient at illustrator but could give you basic steps how to do this.
