Adobe Premiere 6.0 puzzle

Adobe Premiere 6.0 puzzle - Adam Wilt


I'm in the middle of editing a project at the moment using Premiere

In Premiere, you only have two choices as far as this goes: make virtual
clips, or use separate projects.
Virtual clips are rather disturbing at first, because yes, it seems like
there's this other stuff out there on your timeline, but they do work. Be
careful, though, because if your "pre-edits" are further along the timeline
than your main show, it's very easy to break 'em by ripple-editing the main
show.
What I do when I need to use v.clips is put 'em on separate tracks unused by
the main program, i.e., V4 & 5 and A10 and up in a typical show. The only
problem here is that Premiere only handles video transitions on V1.
Another technique is to put your pre-edits earlier on the timeline (and finish
them first) before assembling your main show further down the timeline. That
way, tweaking the edits in the main show won't affect the edits earlier on the
timeline.
The other thing I'd do in your situation is save the project under a new name
for each of the sub-edits, and edit each one separately. By duping the project
you keep all the existing clips and capture data. When done, simply import the
interviews into the original project as new clips, and away you go.
Cheers,

field monitor - Adam Wilt


when talking about a field monitor connected to the camera to check on
> lighting, colour, etc. is this a reference to a specialised monitor or
> would a TV set do?
One feature of a specialized monitor not yet mentioned is underscan
capability. Underscan lets you see the entire image edge to edge, instead of
having the borders masked off by the bezel of the CRT. It lets you see those
light stands and mic booms creeping into the picture before they become too
glaringly obvious -- but without underscan (unless you have an underscanned
CRT viewfinder on the camera) you won't see 'em until it's too late.

I set up a dual display today on a Matrox G450 card. Get this...

> If the monitor window is dragged to the secondary screen (a NEC multisync) Premiere 6.01 will only play clips in the monitor window that have NOT BEEN rendered...
The G400 and G450 both support video overlay fine on the primary monitor, but
not entirely on the second monitor. The particular failure seems to depend on
the OS, the MGA driver, and the application used.
Keep your video vondows on the proimary monitor, and put bins, timelines, etc.
on the secondary, and you should be fine.
Cheers,
