Working with premiere pro

Postby burntresistor » Thu Aug 10, 2006 3:38 pm

I’m having trouble controlling my effects. I want to do a “noise” effect at a certain part of a clip and only that part. When I drag the effect to the clip a red edit line comes above the clip. What I wanted to do this time like I said either figure out how to move that red line to shorten it or use key frames to do so, but what I’ve tried haven’t worked.

The red line is simply just a mark saying that there is an effect on the clip. It has nothing to do with controlling what the effect will do or when it does it.

You can either use the razor tool and cut out the bit of the clip you want the effect to be or use keyframes to control when the effect will happen.

How do I do it with keyframes? lets say its a 4 sec clip and i only want to do 1 second of it for example. Without using the razor?

Keyframes control the intensity of an effect. So you'd select the first and last frames of the 1-second part you want and set the efect parameters you want, then select the first and last frames of the remaining parts (before and after the part you just edited) and set the parameters so that the effect does nothing.

Personally, I prefer using the razor tool. The end result is the same, and it's much easier to do.
