Correct. A clip on video track 2 with a garbage matte on it doesn’t see through to a clip placed underneath in track 1. Any ideas of how I resolve this or do I need to contact Adobe to resolve find a fix.

Hi Chris

Thanks for you reply

I understand how to move and select an area as you have described, the problem is that it does not remove the un-selected area. In other words I still have the whole image with the matt in place and no transparent part. I am working my way through Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom in a book and it is one of the exercises in there.

My work around is to put the image in PS and place a mask and remove the part of the image not required.

If I understand this with a garbage matt in place I should be able to mask or remove the parts on the image I do not require. That at present is not happening.

Once again thanks for your input.

Hi Chris

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. I am new to this software and I am still learning the ropes. Could you please clarify what you mean by scrubbing the values in the effects window.

Thanks for your help in this matter.

Hi Vince

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

I am doing a degree in photography at present and have moved into video. In effect i will be doing presentations of video and images combined. I am using After effects and Premiere Pro to achieve this. The camera I have use of is a Canon XH A1S which delivers 1440X1080 HDV video. The presentation has been put together in AF with an output size of 1024×576 which I believe is Pal/DV widescreen setting.

The problem I had was converting the video into a usable format for the presentation in AF. After searching the forum database last night I set the conversion to mpeg2 1440x1080i25 high quality and then opened it up in AF. This with resizing gives a reasonable rendition. I don’t know whether that is right but it got me out of jail. I suppose in hindsight I will have to work at a higher size overall ie 1440X1080.

The use for this finished piece will be a quicktime video that can be presented at University from computer and also to be uploaded to website youtube to start and then onto the university website at a later date.

That is all I need to know at present so any info/settings that you can give would be much appreciated.

Once again thanks for your input.

Regards
