are you going to cover animation?
Kariudo put me on that path for fades using opacity in a different thread.
but it's got alot of uses (took my screaming quite well too, I might add).

or has this been covered already?
This is a really good idea by the way I'm supprised it hasn't been done sooner.

btw there is a CS2 for dummies book available(sweetdeily said I should buy it) :P I haven't seen a premiere or AE version.

Hey uP|iN|fLaM3z, I've got a question for you. If this is a very stupid question then please forgive me :oops:

Okay, I'm thinking about getting the Adobe Premire and I was looking through your tutorials and I thought they really helped alot. Anyway, here is my question.

1. I'm planning on using DVD's, is there a way to import clips from my DVDs to Adobe Premire?

Say for example, if I wanted to import 3 clips from Fruits Basket from my DVDs, can I just put my DVDs in my hard drive and import the files from there to Adobe Premire?

Thanks.
My passion for anime

unfortunately it's [more times than not] not that easy.
for getting dvd footage to:
a: work
and b: look pretty darn good
you should Read ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides
(it helps if you read all of it)

So if Premiere 6.0 doesn't have real-time preview, how can you know what you're doing? Do you have to make a preview every time you add or change something?

well both premiere 6.0 and 6.5, dont work in real time. 6.5 just has a real time preview. If you want to see what the effect will look like, then just Alt + Scrub the timeline to see your effect. Actually my friend has 6.0 and i looked it over. There are other options like "Preview from RAM" and "Preview from Screen" . I would pick preview from RAM. Preview from screen is really bad. But if its for an effect like Ghosting or Radial Blur, its best to render it.

I have Premiere 6.0, and my video isn't playing while my audio works fine. I'm using Naruto episodes in avi and it won't show up in the monitor window when I try to play the movie in the timeline. Do you have any suggestions about what to do or what's going wrong?

I converted the video with the lagarith codec in eo video, but it's extremely low quality. Will using a different codec like huffyuv or avysyinth or maybe leaving it as an uncompressed file make the quality just as low?

if you start with low quality then there's really nothing you can do.
uncompressed will not give you better quality than lossless...just a bigger file. (huffyuv shouldn't give you better quality either. I'm ignoring the very small quality loss when you convert between colorspaces [if applicable])

AviSynth is not a codec, but you might be able to use it to clean up your footage a little bit (but you shouldn't expect too much in this case)

Ah, never mind. For some reason, converting the original file to a 240 x 180 instead of a 640 x 480 made the quality really bad. It's fine now. :D

I don't quite understand how the avisynth works. Could you give an example of a script. I just wrote one in notepad and what do I do with that?

Sorry for posting so many times in a row, but the status of my problems keeps changing. Now after finally getting avisynth to work, I imported it into Adobe Premiere but there's the black screen again in the preview monitor window. The avs file works just fine in Windows Media Player but doesn't in Premiere. What should I do?
