  1. BCIS 4670 Advanced Multimedia for Business Presentations Making a Movie with Adobe Premiere

  2. Topics • Groundwork • Building a project • Compiling a movie

  3. Capture Is Only the Start... • Never assume that the captured video file is ready to use • Video processing -- the activity of editing and / or enhancing video material for future use

  4. Video Processingincludes • Trimming excess frames • Inserting additional frames • Adding transitions • Adding titles • Adding sound tracks • Adjusting sound amplitude

  5. Adobe Premiere Terminology • Project -- a collection of clips organized along a time line; a Premiere project file (.PPJ) holds pointers (path specific!) to source file locations • Preset -- specifies time base, frame rate, compression, etc.; required for each new project; modifiable

  6. Premiere Tools and Commands You need only a handful of tools and commands to create a basic project. The great majority are for advanced video processing.

  7. Step 1: Groundwork • Select preset & time unit • File / Tools / Movie Analysis (check each intended clip for frame rate, size, etc.) -- sometimes very useful • File / Tools / Conform AVI Movie (makes frame rate uniform for all .AVI clips; select one or all in a directory & adjust rate)

  8. File / Tools / Movie Analysis can print with File / Print Window

  9. Step 2: Importing Clips • File / Import File (hold down CTRL key to select multiple files) • File / Import Project merges projects • Use Name Alias command if needed to make file names coherent • Note .PPJ file has hard-coded paths (will ask for locations if moved)

  10. New Project Presets

  11. Compatible Clip Formatsinclude • Movie: .avi, .mov • Animation: .fli, .flc • Still image: .bmp, .pcx, .jpg • Audio: .wav, .aif

  12. Printing • Helpful for storyboarding, clip comparison • File / Print Window • Project • Construction • Clip • Movie Analysis

  13. Step 3: Sequence Clips • Select clip in Project Window • Drag to Construction Window; 2 thumbnails mark duration • Note Project Window icons

  14. Project Window Two icons: both image and sound in Construction Window

  15. Sequence Clips, 2 • Can use a clip repeatedly • Adjoin clips if a simple cut transition • Overlap Track A and Track B if any other transition needed (by 10 frames to 2 seconds) • Can DEL selected video or audio track, or both

  16. Import Directory As Folder Clip / Open Clip or right-click

  17. Construction Track Types • Video Tracks (max. 99) -- video, stills • A & B • S1 to S97 (superimpose titles, etc.) • Audio Tracks (max. 99)-- audio • A & B • X1 to X97 • Track T -- transitions, special effects

  18. Construction Window Play Preview Time Line (SIMPTE) and Current Indicator Video Track A Transition Track Video Track B Audio Track A Yellow Work Area Bar (marks ends for previewing, making videos; can drag red triangles) Audio Track B Time UnitSelector (frames, seconds) Tool Palette

  19. Selector Range select; extra tools with right-click Zoom Scroll Block select Single track (click & drag) Multi-track (all tracks) Razor (cuts clip) Set In-point (where to start a clip; not destructive) Set Out-point (where to stop a clip; not destructive) Tools Palette (Need to know these)

  20. Step 4: Trim Clips • Razor tool -- splits 1 clip into two (second clip has same name but incremented number) • Set in-point tool -- where clip will start playing • Set out-point tool -- where clip will stop playing

  21. Trim Clips, 2 • Need to fill empty cut spaces • Click on empty space • Edit / Ripple Delete to advance all clips on the right of the deletion to cover the empty space

  22. Types of Edits • Ripple (film-style) edit -- all clips and transitions to the right of the edited clip shift left along the time line; usually impacts length of movie • Rolling (video-style) edit -- adjusts duration of right-adjacent clip to maintain original length of entire track

  23. Step 5: Preview • Play Preview Button -- plays from spot of Playback Head (blue triangle) and Edit Line; shows raw clips • Time Ruler (left-click & hold for black downward arrow; drag) shows edited work

  24. Preview, 2 • Project / Preview -- builds temp. preview file of work area bar data; shows all edits and effects • Make / Make Movie -- for a throw-away sample

  25. Step 6: Insert Transitions • Must have overlap of clips to insert a transition (10 frames, min.) • Select, click & drag from Transitions Window to Track T • Edit if needed

  26. Transitions Window

  27. Transition Settings Dialog

  28. A Comment about Transitions The best transitions are those which the viewer does not notice.

  29. Good form to start with black Go to 00:00 Select Multi-Track Tool Move everything to right (ex., 6 seconds) Step 7: Start with Black

  30. Project / Add Color Matte (pick black or enter 0,0,0) Clip / Duration (default 1 sec.; make 6 seconds) Drag to now-empty track space from Project Window Start with Black, 2

  31. Select a Matte Color

  32. Step 8: Consider a Title • In Premiere, any on-screen text is a title • Could use for company name, product name, etc. -- but optional • If used, consider need for transparent background

  33. Creating a Title • File / New / Title • Select T tool • Type within inner rectangle • Edit font

  34. Title Window To edit font: double- click for I-bar, highlight, then right-click

  35. Creating a Title, 2 • Save title as .PTL file • Import into project • Drag to S1 track • Clip / Duration • Default 1 second • 5 seconds as a try

  36. Step 9: Consider Transparency • Need viewer to see behind title? • Clip / Transparency • Select a transparency option (Key Type) • Experiment

  37. Transparency Settings X X X

  38. Step 10: Add Sound • Use .WAV files, all same type (frequency, channels, depth) • Use Cool Edit 96 to convert • Import to Project Window • Drag to an empty sound track

  39. Add Sound, 2 • Adjust bottom amplitude (loudness) with Audio Fade In/Out Control • Use with Info Window for precise control • Can overlap (mix) sounds • Beware audio distortion

  40. Audio Fade In/Out Control Waveform of Soundtrack Audio Fade Control Handle

  41. Step 11: Consider Filters • 70+ for images or sounds • Clip / Filter or right mouse on clip • Multiple filters per clip possible • Filter indicator: light blue line atop clip

  42. Using Filters • Select clip • Clip / Filters • Add or remove filters • Adjust any settings, for example, • Hue / saturation slider bars • Crop filter size to trim bad pixels from an edge

  43. Filters Dialog Box

  44. Hue & Saturation Filter Settings Dialog Box

  45. Crop Filter Settings (very precise)

  46. Comments about Filters • Can use filters from third-party sources (ex., Adobe Photoshop) via plugins directory • Use Cool Edit 96 sound filters (more available, better editing)

  47. Compiling all clips inside Construction Window into a self-contained file (ex., .AVI), or output to videotape Requires file compression Step 12: Make Final Movie

  48. Quality Output Factors • Type of image compression • Frame rate (15 fps or more) • Recompression (use with care) • Hardware platform • Quality • Speed

  49. Compiling Steps • Check work area bar for length • Check hard disk space • Click Make / Make Movie

  50. Compiling Steps, 2 • Adjust Options and Compression if needed • Provide name for compiled movie • OK button
