Adobe Premiere Elements Help

Post by GreenT » Fri Oct 14, 2005 2:24 pm

I was wondering....is there a way to do that zoom-fade effect thing, where the footage zooms in and starts fading out at the same time?

I have premiere pro...so what I do might be different than what you have to do.

If you can do this you should apply the zoom effect. Select the clip that you just applied the effect to.

Then in the monitor go to effect controls (or window, effect controls)
then click on the triangle to the left of opacity
click on the tringle to the left of opacity (there really is a second one)

This will bring you to a slide from 0 to 100. (0 being black and 100 being the clip) This actually makes your clip transparent and reveals the background color, but it works for fade to black.

As soon as you move the slide a keyframe will pop up, just go to the first and last frames that you want to fade and make the opacity 100 and 0 respectively. If you only want to fade part of a clip make sure to go to the frame after the opacity reaches 0 and reset opacity to 100 (makes another keyframe)

For Fade to white go to Video effects, color control, color balance(HLS).
click the triangle, then click the triangle to the left of lightness and the stopwatch thing (also to the left of lightness)
repeat the same keyframe thing as you did for fade to black.
This time 0 leaves the clip as it is, 100 is all white and -100 is all black.
(using lightness can also do fade to black).

I would use video effects, transform, camera view for the zoom part.
if you play around with it you should eventually figure it out ^_^.

As a side note:
uhh...I didn't know how to do about half of this until I started helping you, and learned how ot fade to white (which I wanted to use)
Keep in mind this is for Premiere pro, so it might be a bit different for the elements package.
You should be able to apply more than 1 effect to 1 clip, so it should work.

If you have any questions feel free to pm me
