No joy today. There is currently no way to apply field options to multiple clips, and not even nesting them will help. Submit a feature request to Adobe.
And, there is no way to show one waveform on a Stereo track. You can stretch the track to see both. or collapse it to see none at all.

You have to put it on track two in Premiere Pro, and put something on track one under it. Are you doing that? Because if you have it set for Millions of Colors+ then the alpha channel should be there.

Either you wrote it wrong or your math is off.
If you jumped it up to 130%, you need to bring it back down to 100%. Which means that your video will have to be 100/130 – or 76.9230769% to match the original music. (I think I got that right – doesn’t really matter as you will see)
In other words, there were easier numbers to use than 130%. But it does not have to be that difficult.
Try this. Put the original music on the audio track. Put the video on the video track. The duration is not the same. Use Time Stretch on the video to make them the same. If they start at the same time and end at the same time, they should be in sync, unless your singer didn’t do that good a job.

Just experiment until you get it right. If you use a constant bit rate you can get it very close. With variable, which usually looks a bit better, it is harder. No magic to constant bit rate. Just math.

Yes, and yes.
You don’t work with the original. you use a new layer, or actually, a second instance of the same clip. You apply the effect to the entire second instance and then use a garbage matte to just show the area you wanted to modify. Garbage mattes can be keyframed.
If the Premiere Pro 1.5 16-point Garbage Matte is not enough, then you have a lot more work to do and should be using After Effects, which is designed to deal with much more complicated masks.

Lots of variables to deal with. Some experimentation will get you close. But every video requires a different amount of compression based on the content. So until it is compressed, you can’t really know the exact size. You can, however, get pretty close.
I do not know of any software designed to get you a specific file size. Perhaps one of the encoders like Canopus Procoder or Sorenson Sqeeze does?

Martin,
If you were trying to link to Dan Ebbert’s page at https://www.motionscript.com – you didn’t do it.

What are you exporting to? DV AVI for use in another program? Windows Media 9 for use on the web? AT what frame size and what data rate?
Tell us more and perhaps we can help.

But if you can’t change it, and it always works, is there really a need to worry about it? Perhaps there is, but not in my workflow.
Put in a feature request. If there are enough people requesting a feature, Adobe makes every effort to accomodate them.
