EFFECTS AND EXPORTING

Module 5
Today most editors use computers or nonlinear
digital editing systems to compile a film. This is
more efficient, but for the most part, the process is
the same. The work prints, complete with edge
numbers, are stored in the computer. The editor
arranges the work print, and then creates an edit
decision list that will be passed on to the negative
matcher.

Effects play a major role in editing as to

manipulate the mistakes done in shooting there are
variety of effects were daily updated and developed.
Let us see the different types of effects used in
adobe premiere which is used extensively.
You can apply one or more Standard effects to a clip
by dragging effect icons from the Effects panel to a
clip in the Timeline panel. Alternatively, select the
clip and double-click an effect in the Effects panel to
apply it. You can apply the same effect multiple
times, using different settings each time.
You can apply Standard effects to more than one clip
at a time by first selecting all the clips you want to
affect.
You can also temporarily disable any effect, which
suppresses the effect without removing it, or you can
remove the effect completely.
 Standard effects

Effects panel timeline panel

To view and adjust effects for a selected clip, use
the Effect Controls panel. Alternatively, you can
view and adjust effects for a clip in the Timeline
panel by expanding its track and selecting the
proper viewing options.
By default, when you apply an effect to a clip, the
effect is active for the duration of the clip.
However, you can make an effect start and stop
at specific times or make the effect more or less
intense by using key frames
DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
To apply one or more effects to a single clip, select
and drag the effects to the clip in the Timeline.
To apply one or more effects to more than one clip,
first select the clips. Control-click (Windows) or
Command-click (Mac OS) each of the desired clips in
the Timeline. Then, drag one effect or a selected
group of effects to any of the selected clips.
Select a clip, and then double click the effect.
To apply an audio effect, drag the effect to an audio
clip or the audio portion of a video clip. You cannot
apply audio effects to a clip when Show Track Volume
or Show Track Keyframes is enabled for the Audio
track.

COPY AND PASTE CLIP EFFECTS
You can easily copy and paste effects from one clip to one
or more other clips. For example, you can apply identical
color correction to a series of clips shot in similar lighting
conditions. You can copy effects from a clip in one track of
a sequence and paste them onto clips in another track.
You do not have to target the destination track.
You can copy and paste individual effects in the Effect
Controls panel. You can also copy all effect values
(including keyframes for Fixed and Standard effects) from
a clip in any sequence. You can paste these values to
another clip in any sequence using the Paste Attributes
command. With Paste Attributes, effects intrinsic to the
source clip—Motion, Opacity, Time Remapping, and
Volume—replace those effects in the destination clips. All
other effects (including keyframes) are added to the list of
effects already applied to the destination clips.

In the Timeline panel, select the clip that
contains the effect or effects you want to copy.
(Optional) To select one or more effects to copy, in
the Effect Controls panel, select the effect you
want to copy. Shift-click to select multiple effects.
To select all effects, skip this step.
Choose Edit > Copy.
In the Timeline panel, select the clip to which you
want to paste the effect and choose one of the
following:
To paste one or more effects, choose Edit > Paste.
To paste all effects, choose Edit > Paste
Attributes.
REMOVE SELECTED EFFECTS FROM A CLIP

Select a clip in the Timeline panel. To make sure

that only one clip is selected, click an empty
space in the Timeline, then click the clip. Click a
spot in the time ruler above the selected clip to
move the current-time indicator to that location.
In the Effect Controls panel, select the effect or
effects you want to remove. To select more than
one, Ctrl-click (Windows), or Command-click
(Mac OS) the effects.
Do one of the following:
Press Delete or Backspace.
Choose Remove Selected Effect from the Effect
Controls panel menu.
An FX badge is an icon in the Timeline
that lets you easily identify if an effect has
been applied to a clip. Click the Settings
icon in the Timeline and select Show FX
badges to display the badges in the
Timeline.
Premiere Pro offers FX badges in different
colors. Just by looking at the badge color,
you can determine if you have applied an
effect, modified an intrinsic effect, and so
on.

TIME REMAPPING
You can vary the speed of the video portion of a
clip. Use Time Remapping to create slow motion
and fast motion effects within a single clip.
1. Right-click on your clip and select ‘Show
Clip Keyframes>Time Remapping>Speed’
2. Increase your speed

Simply drag the ‘Rubber Band’ on your clip up and down to

increase/decrease the clip duration. You can Command+Click
on a Mac or Control+Click on Windows to set keyframes.
There are actually a lot of really cool ways to manipulate clip
speed using this feature.
3. Time-remapping can be keyframed in the Effects
Panel
Editing: Titles
You can upload your titles through your own personalized
images, such as files made in Photoshop, PowerPoint, or
Keynote. One tip is that you can make titles in Photoshop
with transparent backgrounds that you can put over footage.
Premiere does not come with default titles – you will always
need to make your own.

Once you have the image prepared,

all you have to do is drag it into a
layer on your timeline.
Editing: Music

You can drag your

music from the
Project folders to the
Source Pane or the
timeline to begin.
The Source Pane will
allow you to edit the
music within
Premiere.
Editing: Music

To view your waves in the timeline, take

your cursor to the top of your audio file
and drag it down – the blue is the waves of
the video file and the green is the waves of
an added music track. The two waves
represent the left and right channel of the
audio.
Editing: Music

To adjust the volume, hover your mouse in

the middle of the channels and then bring
the waves up or down. This way you can
make voices louder, and music softer.
Editing: Music

If you drag the Audio option on the left on

the timeline out, the middle circle button is
where you can add and remove Keyframe.
A keyframe allows you to split the audio in
order to change volumes at different spots
on your music or voice tracks.
Editing: Music

Make sure your audio is selected and you make at least two
keyframes. This way you can keep one at high volume and
then bring your volume down at the split (see above). You can
add more for subtly fading in or out if desired.
Exporting Project

Make sure timeline

is selected and go to
File – Export –
Media.
Exporting Project

You will get this

dialogue box. To
select which format
you want to export,
to to the format
tab. See image to
left for all the
options.
Exporting Project

Be sure to select
the “Entire
Sequence” getting
exported on the
bottom left.
Exporting Project

When all of your settings are done, push the

export key. Be sure to allow for plenty of time to
export since you are combining many types of
high quality media.
***Allow for at least as long as your video –
most likely you will need longer to export
than you think.
CODECS AND CONTAINERS

The majority of videos are compressed – which

means they have been altered to take up less
space on a computer. A codec simply compresses
and decompresses this data, interpreting the
video file and determining how to play it on your
screen.
1. AVI – AUDIO VIDEO INTERLEAVE

AVI files are the long running digital video

workhorse from the Microsoft stable. The
format’s popularity has dipped in recent times
but AVI still reigns supreme with the swarms of
legacy videos propagating the internet. AVI was
replaced by Microsoft’s Windows Media Video
(WMV) format and usually offers less
compression than comparable video file formats
including MOV and MPEG. It also does not allow
users to select aspect ratios manually, which can
be a rather irritating feature.
Open with: Microsoft Windows Media Player,
Apple QuickTime Player and VideoLAN VLC
media player.
2. ASF – ADVANCED SYSTEMS FORMAT

Another offering from Microsoft, the ASF

container normally houses files compressed with
Microsoft’s WMA (Windows Media Audio) and
WMV codec. Just to confuse the matter further,
the files are usually given the .wmv or .wma
suffix and not the expected .asf. A form of copy
protection is offered with this container through
Digital Rights Management (DRM).
Open with: VideoLAN VLC media player and
Microsoft Windows Media Player.
3. MOV OR QT – QUICKTIME

The MOV and QT Apple QuickTime Movie file

formats both support a wide range of codecs. The
.mov format saves video files and the .qt suffix is
cross-platform, meaning that it supports both
Mac and Windows systems. The two file
extensions are commonly saved together.
Open with: Apple QuickTime Player.
4. AVCHD – ADVANCED VIDEO CODING, HIGH
DEFINITION

The result of a Panasonic and Sony collaboration

as a video file format for digital camcorders,
AVCHD is commonly used for data compressed
with the H.264 codec. It’s a file-based format so it
can be played back and stored on a range of
storage devices. Supports both standard
definition and high definition variants and the
latest 2.0 version supports 3D.
Open with: VideoLan VLC Media Player and
Apple QuickTime Player.
5. FLV OR SWF – FLASH VIDEO

Flash Video has been around for some time and

comes in numerous versions. Old Flash videos
tend to use the Sorenson codec and new Flash
uses H.264. It is a popular container format for
streaming videos across the internet but a large
drawback is that it is not supported on iOS
devices such as iPhones and iPads.
Open with: Web browsers with the Flash plugin
installed and the Adobe Flash Player.
6. MPG – MPEG VIDEO FILE

This prevalent video file format integrates

MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video and audio
compression. MPEG-1 is almost exclusively used
for VCDs (Video Compact Disks ), which failed to
catch on in the US but remain popular in other
countries. MPEG-2 (also known as H.262) is used
for DVDs and broadcast HDTV.
Open with: Microsoft Windows Media Player and
Apple QuickTime Player.
7. MP4 – MPEG-4 VIDEO FILE

The MPEG-4 format is used to share files on the

web. Video and audio tracks are compressed
separately where the video file is compressed
with MPEG-4 encoding and audio with AAC
compression, which is the same audio
compression type used in .AAC files.
Open with: MP4 players and Apple QuickTime
Player.
8. WMV – WINDOWS MEDIA VIDEO

The WMV codec is a popular choice for streaming

video or audio – where a small portion of a video
or audio file downloads and begins to play while
the full download continues behind the scenes.
WMV includes support for high definition 720
and 1080 resolutions. Based on the ASF
container, files ending in the .wmv suffix are
normally stored in the .asf container.
Open with: Web browsers with the Windows
Media Player plugin and Microsoft Windows
Media Player.
9. H.264

The H.264 codec is a popular standard for high

definition digital video. It’s a versatile little codec
and works with very high and very low bitrates.
For example, it can send low resolution and
highly compressed videos across the web and
then can easily encode high definition movies at
high bitrates to play on a HD television. The
H.264 codec is often used with digital video
cameras and camcorders and it uses the AVCHD
container.
Open with: VideoLan VLC Media Player and
Apple QuickTime Player.
10. DIVX – DIVX-ENCODED MOVIE

The editable DivX video file format effectively

compresses videos with minimal quality loss
while supporting resolutions of up to 1080 HD.
This high-quality and high-compress codec is
recognised by a handful of DVD players but does
not support VCD playback. A good option for
making video CDs.
Open with: Apple QuickTime Player with DivX
codec, DivX Player, VideoLAN VLC media player,
SlowView and The Core Media Player.
