To quickly add Markers while you’re playing back a sequence, just hit the * (Asterisk) key on the Numbered Keypad of your keyboard. Here’s a good rundown of Markers – you would do well to read through it, since, if you plan on using Premiere Pro to any extent; they can save you lots of time:

There are also a couple of other options for Markers in there.

Rich –
It sounds as if you may not have your system properly configured. It’s very important to tell Premiere Pro where you want your Cache files saved to. Here’s some important information on your setup:

The best practice you can use is to do a Save As for your “clean” version, and save that as a separate file. Don’t do any effects on that one, and then you can always come back to it. Here’s a good discussion:

Ah…so helping out, from your point of view, is calling the people who make the software bastards. I choose to ignore your form of “social intelligence”. I’ve been helping people out on the forums here since 2002. Trolls are generally viewed with a skeptical eye here.

You’re right Heather – in Multitrack mode, effects work a bit differently than on a single track, but here’s a good discussion of how they work:

And what happened? Did the greying out of the menu disappear?

What comes to mind is a lot of keyframing, but what also comes to mind is the plugin from Red Giant, PlaneSpace. It just could be the best 100 bucks you ever spend on a plugin. It’s hard to describe the capabilities, but it is possible to set up your tiles, then run PlaneSpace, and have your tiles animate into new positions without any keyframes. The fading and non-overlapping would be something you’d have to figure out outside of PlaneSpace, but it deserves a look anyway:

If you’re renting a lens, rent the fastest you can find in the Canon Primes. Also bear in mind that if you want a wide (35mm) lens that because of the T2i’s sensor size, there’s crop factor of 1.6. It will make your 35mm lens a 56mm lens. So rent a 22mm lens, which would give you true 35mm. The Canon 24mm here would be a good choice, if you can find a rental:

These guys are well known, and you can get the above lens for three days for 52 bucks:

I didn’t watch all of them, but that’s sure a basic, video 101 no-no if there ever was one. But that said, I’ve seen some self-produced stuff (by big companies who should know better) which uses copyrighted music, has graphics which would make Ray Charles cringe, and presents absolutely nothing to detain the tourist.

I agree with many of both Mark and Todd’s posts – here are a few trade show rules (some repeat Mark and Todd’s points):
The average attention span of a trade show attendee walking past your booth is 15 seconds.
Your video should convey your information with the sound on or off -many tradeshows do not allow speakers, other than in enclosed booths.
Keep your company or product name on the screen at all times, either as a bug or a bar – you may only get 15 seconds.
The video is meant as an attractant – and also to keep people at your booth while your sales people are talking with others.
Here’s a link to how some of the “big boys” use video at trade shows, and why (aimed at YouTube use, but good ideas in general):
