Virtual clips in premire

Postby Nappy » Tue Dec 10, 2002 7:42 am

I'm having a problem using virtual clips in premire. I can get them to work in premire and render them but when I export them they are gone (-_-") I exported a few ways and none seem to work

Virtual Clips is premieres half assed method of doing something neet.

A) make sure your source for the vitual clip is somewhere in a RENDERED porition of the timeline, before where you placed your virtual clip. You can't really setup a couple clips with some effects on them and create your virtual clip, then move the source clips off the timeline, or all the way out of your "project spectrum"(say if you moved them to like the 10minute mark, since you're working on a 3minute AMV), so the source files do not clutter your view.

B)Delete your preview files.

C)Don't use virtual clips because they're lame.

I would have loved for Premiere to had allow you to "nest" virtual clips and clips together with effects, with more freedom then a stupid virtual clip. You can do this with compositions in After Effects, but that's a totally different layout, which I am not too keen on. :cry:

well I ended up piecing the preview files together @_@ but if I'm ever crazy enuff to use them again, maybe I should delete the preview files they might have got messed up since I saw so many repeats, blanks and what not...

Instead of using virtual clips, you're better off, creating a new project, doing your editing/fx work in there, export to a huffYUV avi, then you can import that into your original project, and you have much more control and it's less finicky.
