I have Primere 5, Please Help Me with the Basics

Postby molotovwars » Sat Sep 13, 2003 12:05 am

I've done music videos in windows movie maker, but thats not saying much and everyone here knows that. I have a copy of Adobe 5.0 that I've never really used, upon opening it seemed very complex and such. For now, to get me started, I'd just like to learn how to Upload multiple video file into Primere (For now all I have is downloaded stuff, but I'm not worried about quality, just learning), then take that and clip/cut what I want then put those all together, more or less duplicating what windows movie maker does, sort of as an introduction for me. If those that respond, could include how to upload multiple vids, like say 3 videos that I want to take clips from, and how to display a story board, anything you might think is sooo easy, please just include it.

I have checked the guides but didn't find anything this basic. All help is appreciated to the fullest.

First off spell and type properly ^_^.

You don't upload to Premiere you import.

Check your manual/help file for these things

*Importing files
*Razor tool

Premiere does not 'make' clips for you. You must do all editing manually.



For quality you need to use DVDs. DivX or other downloadable formats make Premiere crash. To use DVDs, read the guides. And yes, it is rather complex.

I have a good amount of downloaded formats, so I am wondering if there is a program that can check the file to see what it is encoded with. Also, if you imported/uploaded a divx video file into virtual dub then saved it as an avi without compression, than would it remove the divx encoding. I know the file would be huge but would the encoding be gone.

With vitual dub you can take a video, than cut segments out, right?

Kind of. But you shouldn't edit with downloaded material if you can avoid it.
