Objectives:

  • Adding clips other than at the end
  • Adding video transitions

Deleting clips

  • Start Premiere

Open the last project you saved (Mine was CatsProjectV3)

  • Add at least two more images; resizethem using Effects Control
  • Delete any existing sound on Audio 1 track, and then add the short 90 second clip you created in last module.

Deleting Clips from the Timeline: Using Ripple Delete

If the audio track is locked, unlock it before continuing…

  • Delete a clip (not the last one) by trying the following:
  • Select it
  • Right-click on the picture
  • Choose Clear (or Del)
  • It may leave a gap

One way to fix:

  • Right-click in the gap
  • Choose Ripple Delete
  • Pulls everything back to the left

Or

  • Directly select the clip you want to delete, then Right-clickon the NAME of the clip and choose Ripple Delete
  • Lock the audio track again

Ctrl-Z

Adding clips other than at the end

Method # 1:Control-Drag to desired location. Be careful where you drop the clip, it CAN get inserted right in the middle of an existing clip, instead of at the end of one

Practice: Add a clip between clips 2 and 3

  • Select the clip you want to add in the Project window
  • Ctrl-dragit to the desired location
  • Notice shape of the cursor

As you drag, watch the Program window, which shows the effect of dropping the clip at the current location…want to see two different frames in the Program window:

Might break the audio track!

  • Ctrl-Z

To fix:Lock the audio track

  • As explained in last lecture, Find and click theToggle Track Lock icon….pad lock.

  • Save as CatsProjectV5

Video Transitions: the Effects tab (not the Effects Controltab)…Window>Effects

Note: My Effects panel was hidden to the left

  • The Effectstab

Video Transitions (between clips)…can also apply between stills

Video Effects (Apply to the clips themselves…we won’t use)

Video Transitions

  • We apply thembetweenadjacent clips (video or photos)…
  • Open the Video Transitions menu:

Video Transitions:Details

  • Procedure:
  • Select the transition you want from the Video Transitionsmenu
  • Decide on the two clips that will be transitioned
  • Drag the desired transition over the place where the two clips meet
  • Example:
  • Choose Video Transitions>Page Peel>Page Peel
  • Drag the Page Peel icon between any two clips
  • The shape of the symbol (white rectangle) indicates the peel is between those two frames
  • Try Page turnon two other clips

Dissolves:

  • Add a dip to black transition somewhere. Use between scenes in a movie
  • Add a Crossdissolve effect , also used in movies
  • Try 3D Motion>Cube Spin

Changing Transition Durations

  • Open Effect Controls window
  • Duration defaults to 1 second
  • To change: One Method
  • Double click the transition on the time line
  • Change the Durationvalue in the window that opens…enter directly or drag the yellow numbers;

  • Make it two seconds

To delete a transition:

  • Select the transition
  • Right click on it, choose Clear:
  • Use the Programwindow and move the playback head to play the movie
  • Save as CatsProject6

Rendering and Playing movies

  • Use Space Baror
  • Use Enter key
  • Enter does a real render (creation) of the movie,
  • Space bar kind of fakes it
  • Look for a green line at the top of the timeline: That indicates the movie is “rendered” (created)
  • Render your movie (Enter key)

Practice…skip…

  • Clear the timeline
  • Add the avi clip, and then about 7-8 jpgs
  • Resize the jpg’ s using Effects Control
  • Add video transitions: select 3 different dissolves, at least one 3D motion
  • Make the transitions last for more than the default
  • Create a new 15-second sound clip (Use either song)
  • Add a new jpg inside the timeline (not on the end)
  • Delete a jpg using ripple delete
  • Save as CatsProjectLarge
