Adobe Premiere & Premiere Pro discussions from 2005

James Darren · July 4th, 2005, 07:29 AM

hi,

No I cant playback any audio, not even an audio CD in windows media player. In control/audio it says theres no playback device. I have an Intel 915pgnl which I assume has built in audio hardware. I downloaded an audio driver from intel but still not working...

David Schamis · July 4th, 2005, 07:55 PM

I know that Encore 1.5.1 works with dual-layer DVDs, but does PremPro 1.5.1 allow you to burn directly to a dual-layer DVD?

I have tried and I can't seem to make it work.

Notice that there is a disk analysis window in Encore because it is a complete dvd authoring program where Premiere is best left to it's devices as an NLE. Premiere and after effects have their place in the work flow as does Encore and each should be used for their intended use especially when dealing with expanded functionality as you have described.

Is the onboard audio turned on via bios?

Henry Cho · July 5th, 2005, 09:20 AM

yeah... as brian said, as long as you installed the correct driver, there's no reason your on-board audio shouldn't be working unless your audio is turned off in your bios.

before you do that, make sure to check your control panel's device manager to see if there's any audio hardware being recognized. if you don't see your audio hardware in there, it's turned off in your bios (or broken). if you DO see your audio hardware with a warning flag (question mark or exclamation point -- i forget which one it uses), your driver is not installed properly.

Hello everyone

Is there anyway to remove a watermark or logo off a piece of footage. It remains in a fixed position throughout the clip. I have after effects 6.0 and adobe premiere pro 7

Thankyou
Chris

George Odell · July 6th, 2005, 09:56 AM

There are a couple of filters available for VirtualDub that allow you to remove or at least reduce the level of a stationary logo.

Jimmy McKenzie · July 6th, 2005, 10:00 AM

You can paint on the frame. There are a few options to have this persist, but if the underlying video is constantly changing, you have a pile of work ahead of you.

If the logo or bug is small and you are in a 4x3 environment, perhaps you can drop on top your 16x9 bars overtop on a layer in Premiere...

Steven Gotz · July 6th, 2005, 10:15 AM

Cover it with your own logo?

It is difficult for the software to show what is not there.

Brian Handler · July 6th, 2005, 10:22 AM

It's freakishly hard.

If the video is somewhat static I could see you doing some "stamp" tooling on it, but I highly doubt that would work.

Generally I put my own bug or watermark over the existing one and call it a day.

Chris J Martin · July 6th, 2005, 11:45 AM

Thanks everyone for the prompt responses.

Had a look at that virtualdub but it will not allow you to import a wmv file (microsoft legalities I think) so that sort of leaves me stuck. Has anyone heard of any plugins for after effects ? Premiere pro is my choice but I know that Pinnacle studio has a plug in called logoaway that does the job nicely.

I may have to resort to cropping the piece off above the logo, thats going to lose the bottom fifth of the capture; but hey its an artsy/wierd piece anyway so I will just have to try and be inventive unless I can tap into your brains again and anyone can think of anything else.

Thanks again
Chris

Hi Harry,

It pretty easy to do. As soon as you start to use Photoshop you'll probably understand it better.

This is what I would do:

Create a new 'canvas' to the size you wish, that will allow you to fit the images you want all on one page.
Open up 1 image you wish to use, and then use the move tool and drag it onto the new 'canvas' you created first of all. Repeat for the other images you want to use.
Each image will appear as a separate layer in you new canvas. Simply move each one into the position you want.
Save file as a PSD (photoshop file) and open in Premiere.

Hope this helps,

Brian Handler · July 6th, 2005, 12:19 PM

If it's artsy why don't you make spikey cool letterbox borders at the top and bottom with photoshop and just alpha the center. Then you can say it's bordered for an effect.

Jimmy McKenzie · July 6th, 2005, 12:26 PM

Agreed with Brian.

Then add some frame jitter and film projector messiness with hair and scratches and that'll sure be abstract/artsy. Then you can animate the motion path of some alpha objects to have moving reveal of the underlying track ... etc....etc....

Thanks for your reply. I did manage to find out how to do and it was like you said. I was easy. Thanks again.
