Adobe Premiere & Premiere Pro discussions from 2004

Peter Jefferson · October 6th, 2004, 01:13 AM

run a softening filter to fade the blue or a black restoration (if its got this filter)

i dunno if prem has film effects either.. some of teh older kodak presets are nice using colour curves

Peter Jefferson · October 7th, 2004, 07:22 AM

hmm.. are all the clips of teh main source clip??

ie do u have one large avi that yoru slicing into segments?

If so (this may not work) you might be able to apply the effect on the main source clip and prem SHOULD retain that information on each slice you make from that effected source

I know Vegas does this, but i havent tried with prem

Hi Brian,

Maybe the pictures are missing in premiere? Or that there is black space between the clips?

I don't see why Premiere would only export out selected clips unless some were missing?

Does it play OK in windows media player?

Maybe export it again.

What sort of AVI file did you export out. What version of premiere are you using?

Thanks,

Ed

Hey Jimmy,

Thanks for sharing your finding with us!

I'm sure it will help many others....

Ed Smith · October 7th, 2004, 09:27 AM

The answer is yes you can. Premiere will conform all audio to the project settings. So if you have created a project which is 48Khz
and you have imported in some 32KHz, premiere will up-sample the audio to 48KHz. This will take up more space on your HD, and will slow your computer down a bit while the conversion is happening.

As peter has suggested, your best to load it into Auditions (If you have it).

Cheers,

This should work: create first a new sequence and drop then the filter to the whole sequence at once.

Peter,

I tried just about everything that I know of in prem pro but nothing has a "natural" look to it. I put the blame on the low light performance of the GL2. I hate to ask, but, is this easily fixed in vegas 5? lol

Hey ed, you know i tried this today and the matrox RTx100 was really struggling with it.. we ended up using the old resample method, but i threw in the 32k audio with video and it really REALLY struggled..

we were using a SBLive Audigy, so the card itself is 48k native, DV is perfect on this.. when we imported a 44.1k audio clip form cd, i noticed the matrox lag a bit.. its coz the soundcard literally upsamples the audio to 48k.
Then the 32k, really killed it.. im still exploring how far i can stretch prem when it comes to audio, at the moment its not doing what i want it to do, but theres always a workaround.. :)

Peter Jefferson · October 8th, 2004, 05:56 AM

without being a blasphemer here in Prem Land, LOL yes, vegas has clour curves which allow filtration and blends.
U can also run a chroma blur (or suppresion) filter.
another tricky on is to use somethign like a Median Filter and run a noise reduction on the footage

Leo Zheng · October 8th, 2004, 03:33 PM

i've got over 100 digital pics that i'd like to make a slide show with various transitions.
is there an efficient way to do it with premiere instead of dragging the transitions one by one?
same question applies to many other situations where you need to repeat the same function many times for different clips.
or any software can do the slides show easily and can be imported into a premiere timeline?
thx

Steven Gotz · October 8th, 2004, 04:30 PM

This is a pretty well known bug. It is mostly fixed in PPro 1.5 but sometimes causes a problem. You might want to convert the pics to TIF, since that seems to help.

Steven Gotz · October 8th, 2004, 04:32 PM

You can automatically apply the default transition, but not various transitions.

Jimmy McKenzie · October 8th, 2004, 05:02 PM

Just use the automate to timeline function. Select the entire bin and it will toss each photo in at your default setting for still frame durarion, and each will have your default transition applied. This is usually crossfade. If you want some circa 1997 peels and wipes a la powerpoint, you will have to change the transitions yourself.

David Hurdon · October 9th, 2004, 07:49 AM

You don't mention the format of your missing images, Brian, but many editors report problems with jpg, often because Quick Time is not installed on the editing system. As Steven says, using alternate formats, including BMP and PSD, is often the best choice.
