Thanks got it.

What about dragging to re-arrange tracks order?

[John Smith]

That’s weird, yesterday I tried to add a crawl and a roll. I entered the text, dragged to the timeline, but it stays still. Do you need any additional steps?

Anyway is it possible to animate text manually in Premiere?

[John Smith]

So you mean they are self-animated? That you don’t have to keyframe their positions? I get the still and crawl, but not the roll. What do you mean by tornado warning?

We don’t have any tornado warning so I’m not sure how it is.

[John Smith]

Oh don’t worry about it I’ve got it uh, “fixed”. Instead of rendering I merely created a new sequence, worked on the clip and copy and paste it from the timeline.

And just for information, this was downloaded from keepvid.com from Youtube. I needed to integrate a clip into my movie.

Cheers
Thanks!

This is what I mean. The one on the right is the Quicktime>Animation with quality set to 100. The one on the left is the original one.

[John Smith]

Sorry wrong forum. Can’t seem to be able to delete it.

[John Smith]

Oh, and isn’t the Quicktime > Animation loseless? Because I’m trying to render a portion of a clip to fast-forward in After Effects (I want to keyframe so the speeding up and slowing down is smooth) and I rendered it in Animation preset and when it came out there is slight color loss.

I opened the rendered one in Quicktime player, the original one in KMPlayer.

Quality’s set to 100, though.

Oh and another thing. When I opened the rendered one in both Quicktime and KMPlayer, I discovered that the colors are all weird and wrong. It’s like negative. The skin tones are bluish and it’s all the wrong colors. But black remains black.

So any idea on 100% lossless and fixing the color problem?

[John Smith]

Yeah I kind of figured out it’s the huge bitrate (600MPBS) that’s causing the choppy playback.

Well I wanted to import uncompressed footage into Premiere, but anyway I got that now. I exported into mp4 and the quality’s great and it doesn’t lag.

[John Smith]

Update: Now both Default Template (uncompressed) and my custom one lags while playing. I tried opening in Quicktime, it lags horribly too. Just that for the custom one, the pop up error appears.

[John Smith]

This should be interesting.

System start-up, new project, import ALL my footage, tried to render. Encoding stopped halfway through my first clip. Alt-tabbed to my Premiere Pro, it’s responsive. Alt-tabbed back to AME, and back to Premiere Pro and the “Not Responding” sign comes up.

System restart, same project (I didn’t save the previous time), imported ONLY the first footage, tried to render. Encoding was successful.
