Many Many (MANY) thanks for taking the time to reply Tod! Much appreciated!

I am trying to export 2 alpha sequences for my final film (one is graphics the other subtitles). I have found 2 ways to export alpha sequences and was hoping someone can explain to me what the difference is between them. Here are my two export options to create alpha files:

Option 1:

Format: Quicktime
Video Codec: Apple Prores 4444
Depth: 8-bpc +…

Good morning! I am wondering if there is a way to search a sequence and find all clips where I have used a certain effect? (like Warp Stabilization? for instance). I have tried the “Find in Timeline” – “effects” – “contains” – “warp” (find all) but it seems to choose random clips and not all of the clips with effects.

Is there some way to get…

I actually found the solution! You can lower them in the Effects Control Panel! Thank you for responding!

I am trying to create subtitles for my film in Essential Graphics (using the PP “Film Web Caption template”). For the life of me I cannot seem to figure out where to put the IN and OUT timecode points for each individual subtitles. After inputting the first subtitle it appears for the full length of the caption stream. If I create a new…

Many many thanks Eric – will play with your idea for the final frame. I tried applying a solid in the track BELOW and the Rolling credit (black) on the track above covers it .. if I put the solid on the track ABOVE my only option is to change the opacity of the rolling credit and when I do it changes the opacity of BOTH the black and the titles…

Good morning! Just started playing with essential graphics for rolling credits (background shows up as black). I am assuming that this black background is actually a transparent layer (??) but cannot figure out how I change the background (to a colour or an image for instance). What am I missing? While I am here .. am also stumped as to how to…

I am trying to get a 1 hour film exported to XML for my Colourist. I was given directions (attached) to first open project manager, choose settings and THEN go File > Export > Final Cut Pro XML. This does not work. In Project Manager if I hit “OK” after selections I get a Premiere Pro file (and assets). If I just go File > Export > Final Cut…

Many thanks .. that does help a LOT!

Really appreciate your reply Tod – indeed the two audio clips are linked (so if I click on one of the audio tracks the other is also highlighted. This allows me to cut them simultaneously, or change the gain on both of them simultaneously (“g”) BUT .. when it comes to changing a portion of the clip (like using the pen to create points on the…

Many many thanks for such a quick reply Rob … just 2 questions …

1. If it is already edited in the timeline (which it is) does that mean I can’t do this retroactively? No way to do it in the timeline?

2. If you modify the audio channels in this way – how does that effect them when you come to the final audio mix (since 1 channel is a lav and one…

I know I am just missing something simple here – but I just can’t seem to figure it out!

If I have a single video clip with stereo audio (which appear on two tracks in the timeline) if I want to fade the audio clip out (for instance) using the pen tool (and the horizontal white line on the audio clip) I am forced to do it TWICE – once on each…

I am sure this a simple solution and I am just missing it …. When I create a title using Legacy Title I can save it immediately to a bin. When I create a title using the text tool I just can’t seem to figure out how to SAVE that title (and name it) and stick it in a bin for safekeeping. It just seems to appear on my timeline. Any suggestions…

Hello Editors! This is a more general question but hoping you can help me out. I have been editing a long doc (4 TB of media) with 2 external Hard drives (portable drives). One drive just died on me (!!!) but fortunately I had the media backed up. I realize I am putting a lot of pressure on these drives so wondering if there are any best…

Hello! Is this possible? I am trying to create a completely new project from one sequence taken from a much larger project. I want to put the sequence and all corresponding source clips onto a new hard drive so that it is it’s own independent project.
I have tried exporting the sequence with “Export selection as Premiere Project”. I get the…
