primiere = Premiere
kan = can
kould = could

That's step one. Step two is to look up how to create a render preview in the help guides/ manual. Step three, after you've found that out, is to choose a fast codec for those previews (I use whatever the newest version of the Indeo codec I have is. DO NOT use DivX.) And yes, every time you move something or change something around you will have to re-render that part of the timeline.

Step One: I type how I see fit... Which means I know how it's spelled...

Step Two: Thanks... But I know that.. I mean.. when just putting it on the timeline to edit that klip and such... Putting it on the timeline to take out what i need... It goes slow playing it normally... I don't need to render a whole movie just to get 20 secs... I mean using an mpg movie lets say... I import it... Move it to the timeline... then go to where i want to go.. Then I view it to see if it would be good to use..... But thats the problem... I shouldn't need to render that clip.... to slimply see it.........

Step Three: If I get no help... Then i'll just have to render anything i want to see... Which will be a hassle... Or see the normal vid and by the seconds on the viewer try to see what i kan get... But then my whole video will have unwanted footage that i would need to take out.... Or konvert everything to avi... But that takes to long...

Step Four: Thanks in advance for anyone who fixes my problem....

Step Five: There is no step five.....

MPEG sucks for editing. It uses interframe compression. This means that in order for Premiere to show you any particular frame of the clip it has to go back to the last keyframe and calculate all of the frames between the keyframe and the one you want before it can render the frame. So you either need to get a faster computer, or you need to stop using MPEG as source.

Then start rendering anything you want to see, because people who deliberately misspell words because they think it's "cool" or makes them look "unique" aren't intelligent enough to be worth the time it'd take to actually help them. :-D
"If someone feels the need to 'express' himself or herself with a huge graphical 'singature' that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner."
