Strobe light effect in Adobe Premiere.

Postby Darksong17 » Fri Sep 12, 2008 2:36 pm

I'm a total n00b to trying to use Adobe to make an anime music video. So far, I'm having quite the trouble figuring out how to get the strobe light effect to do what I want it to. I'd like it to flash at certain points in the music, but there doesn't seem to be an option for deciding at what point on the clip the strobe happens. Am I missing something?

You cpu;d do it manually with a colored bmp. That's how I always did it.

Really? I tried that but the Adobe didn't seem to want to add the file. Though I think it was a jpeg. Does it have to be a bmp?

I have a second question. How the heck do you cut a clip without cutting the audio as well? Even if I unsync them it happens and it causes blips in the audio.

Bmp or psd is best. For a flat color, such as either a black or white strobe, all you need is a bmp. For rotoscoping, you need something that can do transparency and layers, and that means photoshop file format.

What version of premiere?

Your razor blade shouldn't cut the audio if you click on video. O.o

If the audio is part of the video (like you import an anime episode complete with audio), then cutting one will result in both being cut. You need to right click on one of them, and choose the item that's something like... unlink audio and video.

It's 6.5? Even if I just click on the video it razors the audio as well.

They aren't connected, the video and audio was imported separately.

You may be using the multi-track razor tool, rather than the plain razor tool.

Really? I just go into the Timeline drop down menu and select Razor at Edit Line.

That's why. "Razor at edit line" will cut straight down the edit line, meaning every track will get cut. What you want is the actual razor tool out of the tool palette. Select that and then just click where you want the cut to be in the timeline.
... yea ...
