Hey Raine – If you’re using a text layer and just looking to dissolve it in AE, could you go into the layer’s Transform options and keyframe the Opacity?
Or are you creating the text another way?As far as animating the text, if it is a text layer, I’d look into the Animation Presets/Text list in the Effects tab and see if there’s anything you could use.
Or, you could always keyframe the animation as well. You could keyframe the size of the type, or the type tracking which is a nice effect (it’s the AV with the arrows underneath it in the Character tab). Track the type up to like 200 as it fades out.
Maybe enable Motion Blur too.
Are you comfortable with keyframing?
I hope all is moving along on your path to video greatness!

Aah. I assumed you were editing in full screen. As you discovered, reducing your interlaced video to quarter-screen effectively deinterlaces the video (although poorly).
If the video is interlaced PAL, the project should be 25 Frames per Second Interlaced (a.k.a. 50i, or 50 Fields Per Second).As far as forcing Premiere to allow 50 Frames Per Second, start a new project and go into the Custom Settings.
Switch the Editing Mode to Video for Windows and 50FPS will be available.Usually a green screen with audio indicates a video codec issue.
What video codec are you using for export, what player are you trying to use?Vince

hmmm. I want to say, click Ctrl+K to cut at the CTI.
I don’t know if that’s quite what you are looking to do.
I just don’t have the experience with Avid or FCP to make the distinction.I’d look under Marker or Sequence on the main menu to see if there are any of the functions that you need in the timeline.
As far as shortcuts for timeline edits, they look kinda’ limited.
There might be something closer to what you are used to by editing in the Editing Window (unsure??).Vince

Premiere does not deinterlace by default, as After Effects does.
To dinterlace a clip, you might right-click on a clip in the timeline and select Field Options/Always Deinterlace.
So for you, check that setting and make sure Field Options/None is selected.Check your project settings Project/Project Settings/General…
Check the Video/Fields options to make sure you are using fields.Also, make sure you have your Preview Monitor set to 100% or greater, otherwise you would not see the “Interlacing Lines”.
Also, the Editing Monitor displays as deinterlaced, but that does not affect output.
Finally, when exporting or encoding make sure to enable the fields option (upper or lower) and do not select deinterlace.
Regarding changing your project settings from DV, you would need to start a new project, than import the old project into the new one.
Go into the Custom Settings tab as you create the new project and change the Editing Mode from DV to whichever setting is appropriate for your OS. (If you get a chance, fill out your System Details in your profile so we can see your OS and App versions and stuff.)
Make sure the Video/Fields setting is correct, if you’re PAL the footage is probably Upper Field First.
Under Video Rendering, set the Compressor to None and Color Depth to Millions.Vince

I can sometimes be a bit long-winded in my responses, so bear with me. 🙂
There are a couple of ways to edit in Premiere. Some like to edit in the Editing Monitor by double clicking on a clip in the project bin.
I prefer to edit directly in the timeline.It sounds like you’re looking for functionality in using the Editing Monitor?
1-Double-click on a clip in the project bin, so it opens in the Editing Monitor (as opposed to the Playback Monitor).
2-Scrub the Editing Monitor’s CTI to the desired position and…
i = Inpoint
o = Outpoint
* (on the Number Pad) = Set Unnumbered Marker
, = Insert
. = Overlay
3-Once you set your In/Out points in the Editing Monitor, you will set the CTI in the Sequence Timeline to the desired position and either Insert (,) or Overlay (.).Pretty much all of the buttons in Premiere will display Tool Tips when you hover your mouse over them. Hover over all of the buttons at the bottom of the Editing Monitor and you will see all of the shortcuts I mentioned above.
I hope this comes close to answering your question.

I’m not really sure what might cause that, but we’ll take it one step at a time.
What version of Premiere are you in?
Did you capture through Premiere as DV or HD? Maybe it was an MPEG capture? Or, did you capture outside of Premiere? I can see there possibly being issues with MPEG playback.
I usually recommend people open one of their source files with GSpot so we can know what CODECs are being used…
https://www.headbands.com/gspot/
You would look for the Audio codec and the Video codec name.I assume you’re trying to playback from the timeline, as opposed to previewing a clip in the editing monitor?
Sorry I don’t have a straight answer for you, we’ll just look at this like a troubleshooting thread:)

Yeah, it just looks like rapid cuts.
You can hit the * button on your number pad, in Premiere, while playing an audio track in your timeline to help you tempo your cuts by adding Unnumbered Markers.Vince

Recapture? If you capture with Premiere, I’d consider using the automatic scene detect feature, or manually clipping the scenes as you capture, so you have smaller files to work with.
To the goal of compressing the video…
If the files are DV or HD you probably shouldn’t compress them for storage as these are ideal editing formats. You could compress to MPEG, and later edit MPEG in Premiere, but it’s not easy to use.However, you still have the frame error issue. My solution for dealing with parsing or rendering issues in Premiere is to decompress the source files prior to import.
For this I use AVS Video Converter…
https://www.avsmedia.com/VideoTools/index.aspx
AVS is great at dealing with errors and also has batching & splitting functions which you might benefit you in this mission.
You could drop your files into AVS and set it to export as MPEG2 (or a high bitrate WMV format), and batch split into 2GB files. Done.If you simply want to compress the file for later use, at the highest possible quality, I’d recommend Bink. It’s free and it has the best compression, but it may also have an issue with the frame error.

It might be an OS setting.
Fill out your System Details in your profile so we can see your OS and App versions, and stuff.Try looking in your system control panel. Maybe under Sound, or Monitors & Sound, or NVidia – whichever control panel it is that controls your sound.
Make sure the mic is active.Vince
