hi to everyone, I'm an italian guy who needs some help...who knows how, for example, to put on top of a clip in which goku is waving another clips of Zoro (one piece character) waving to him.
Above all I'd like to know how to mantein contrast, i made some tests and the clips melted together in an orrible way.
Thanks anyway, bye

Are they supposed to be just the entire clips on top of each other (transparency) or are you talking about removing the backgrounds for each clip and have them stand next to each other?

If you're wanting to remove the backgrounds, they better be in front of a solid-colored background...then you can use Premiere's Luma Matte or BlueScreen in the Transparency settings.

Otherwise, you'll have to go with After Effects, which, as I've already ranted, doesn't support MPEG-2..... >_<

Nor should it

AE is far too diginified to accept the likes of compression that isn't intended to be edited with

thanks to all!
for removing the background I tryed to do what you have said and it work!

but if I want to remove a background (e.g. the sky) from a clip(video) I have to save all the clips as image and to remove the sky from them...it's right or there is a more fast manner to do this???
thanx

yup...yuour correct....you have to export the bitmap sequence and bring them into photoshop........if your good at photoshop it shouldn't take all that long if there isn't a whole lot of motion. If there is, you can try keyframing in premire and see if you can cut that in half.

How exactly would keyframing help out in this situation ? ^_^ ?

You can create keyframes for mask positions and let the program automatically tween the mask between the keyframes. If it's a low-motion scene, this can work fairly well, although sometimes you do have to compensate for jitter and such.

When did Premiere have such a feature to make tweened morphmated masks?
