Displaying File Name for Photo and Video Clips in Premiere Elements 10

I am using Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro desktop computer to create
a project consisting of 128 jpg photo and mp4 video clips.  Before creating
the project I created a short file name for each clip describing its
content.  I've added menu tags at locations which separate the project into
discrete segments.  I've selected a disc menu which utilizes the menu tags I
created.  I previewed the project and I'm satisfied that the DVD disc I
intend to create will display everything I want except for one thing.  I
have spent several hours trying to find out how to have each displayed clip
include the file name (without extension) somewhere near the edge of each
window as it is opened in the finished production.  I sure would appreciate
some help with the steps needed to accomplish this.

Welcome to the forum.
This can most easily be accomplished by adding a Title (maybe from a Lower-Thirds Title Template), above each Clip/Still Image.
I would create one such Title, and manually add the "File Name" in the location desired. Then, place that on a higher Video Track, above the Clip/Still. Then, just use the Duplicate Title function, to create a new Title, with the Text and Style, per the first - edit the Text for each, as required.
I know of no automated method to grab the Clip's/Still's File Name, and add that to a Title, as PrE does not support any scripting.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips.  I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec.  Any ideas out there?

    I've been using iMovie for a while now to make movies out of mostly travel photos and video clips.  I try to vary the time for the photos from 1-4 sec., although most of them are 1-2 seconds so as to keep it short.  A friend of mine who saw my most recent product said that this is too short.  Any ideas out there?

    I apologize for my confusion on your question.  I find that depending on the principal of each photo and my target audience to determine the time frame for each photo.  It seems most people get impatient with viewing one photo for more than 1-2 seconds if the photo is not complex.
    If there are several things that interests the viewers in any one image, they want to look at it a second or two longer.  If the movie of images is a training aid, the images may need to be more than 3 seconds.  For intro's, or a trailer for a training movie, no longer than 1-2 seconds.
    That was a long answer to say, generally speaking, I find 3 seconds to be an average time length.

  • IMovie11 - MARKING PHOTOS AND VIDEO CLIPS USED IN PROJECTS

    After endless research, I have finally figured out how to mark the photos and video clips I have in my project so that I don't duplicate them in my project. It's actually easy once you know how to do it.
    1. Create your new project (Movie)
    2. Create your event with the photos and videos you want to use from iPhoto. Name your event same as your Project to make it easier to find the event for that project. The work flow will be > Event > iPhoto Library  > Albums > Select the entire Album or individual items.
    iMovie will not mark any photo or video that is not stored in iPhoto, so make sure you have your Photos and Video stored there. You can always delete any media later you don't want to keep. I found it easiest to organize the media I will be using in a project into an Album, and give it a name relating  to your Project so you know where they're at, and you don't have to sort through your entire iPhoto collection to find them.
    3. Now you have your Photos / Video in your event.
    * As you ad the media to your project, an ORANGE line will appear on the media indicating you used it in the project you currently have open.
    * If you see a PURPLE line on any of them, that indicates they are used in a different project you have created. >>> See Attachment ...
    Remember that you will only see these mark lines in events.

    If you don't want iDVD to show its theme or menu then go into the Map mode in iDVD and drqg the slideshow containing the photos and video clips into the blue Auto Play bin at the left.
    Click to view full size
    When inserted into a DVD player it will begin playing immediatey.  However, when findished it will fall back to the menu so use the menu which would look best for the situation.  They can be modified by droppiing image files into the menu settings bin to give it a different background.
    Make sure your photos and video clips end up  in the slideshow together:

  • File names for photos on iPad?

    How do find the file name for photos in iPhoto on the iPad?

    To the best of my knowledge, you can't do it on the iPad. But after syncing, you can just click on a given photo in iPhoto and the name will appear in the "title" field in the Information box on the left-hand side of the iPhoto window.
    (Make sure you have that little icon of an "i" in a circle checked in the bottom left corner next to the search bar, or you won't see the Information pane.)

    The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network.  The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network.  Otherwise, you  have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

  • Need advice on computer for photo and video editing

    I do mostly routine stuff on my home computer (word processing, e-mails, internet, etc), except for photo and video editing (hobby, not professional)
    I'm upgrading my 4 year old set up, as it has 2 GB ram, dual core vs quad core, 256mb video card, etc, etc.  Better to buy a new rig than upgrade several different components.
    Costco has a pretty nice set up in the store (HPE 257 c-b), but for an extra $200, I can order online and get the HPE 170t, which is essentially the same except for 2 upgrades:
    -Radeon HD 5770 video card vs Radeon HD 5570
    -Two 1 TB 7200 hard drives vs one 1 TB 7200 hard drive
    My question is this.....is it worth the extra $200 to get the better graphics card and the dual hard drive set up?  Will it really make that much of a difference in the performance?  I'm thinking it will, especially the ability to set up the 2nd hard drive as my scratch disk.
    For what it's worth, both systems have the i7 860, 8 GB ram, and Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
    Thanks.

    In very general terms, the requirements for Video will exceed those for Photoshop (PS). If you are looking at PrPro CS5, then the video card WILL make a difference, and PS CS5 now takes advantage of the video card, than before.
    For PS, the minimum HDD setup would be a 2x system with physical (not partitions) HDD's. Video has more requirements in this area, and I would say that a 3x setup is the minimum. Do read Harm's linked article, as it is the best that I have ever run across.
    For the PS setup, just locate the Scratch Disks for PS on your extra HDD's, the ones with your Project and PrPro Scratch Disks.
    Enjoy the new computer, and welcome to the forum,

  • I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?

    I wrongly erased photos and video clips, can I retrieve them?

    Depends on how do you want to do it. If you store your backups with iCloud - try in your iPad's preferences. If you keep your stuff on your computer - plug your iPad in and launch iTunes, the photos should be there.

  • Looking for a back up drive for photos and videos that works with time machine, prefer wireless. Time capsule has poor reviews and already have BT hub

    Looking for a back up drive for photos and videos that works with time machine, prefer wireless. Time capsule has poor reviews and already have BT hub that serves as a good router. 3gb or 4gb capacity preferred but 2 would suffice.

    Plug a NAS into the BT Hub that does TM. Look at Synology.
    You just use the wireless of the hub.
    But the cheapest solution is still the TC.

  • How can I raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12?

    I want to raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12. Can anyone help?

    jcomput
    Always good to give the computer operating system involved in case any computer specific details needed to be included. But here is your
    generalized yet specific answer for Premiere Elements 12 and increasing the volume of a video clip.
    If you are in the Expert workspace...
    a. click and drag upward the orange band that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip.
    or
    b. go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/ Volume Panel expanded on move the volume slide toward +6 dB.
    0 db does not represent no sound. It represents the volume of the sound when it was recorded. 0 to +6 dB increases the sound above the recording level; 0 to infinity symbol decreases the sound below the recording level, finally to muted sound.
    Please let us know if you are OK with the details above. My blog post on PE12: Audio Features may be useful to you.

  • Assembling still photos and video clips into one video presentation.

    This is partly a Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (both version 7) question, so hopefully not posting to the wrong group (there doesn't seem to be a Premiere Elements forum anyway)!
    I am currently putting together a video/slideshow presentation, initially for display directly from a computer (to data projector) and then ultimately to end up on a DVD.  The presentation  consists of digital and scanned photographs (prints and transparencies) and video clips.  I successfully put together a slideshow of all the stills with Photoshop Elements, inlcuding music etc.  I then output the slideshow to Premiere Elements, so that I could merge it with my already edited video clips.
    The output process works smoothly enough, but as soon as I run the completed presentation, the quality of the imported slideshow is nothing short of woeful!  Each image is badly pixellated and all the transition effects are mangled - in short, it is unwatchable.  As it turns out, simply adding a single, still image to Premiere Elements results in a very poor final image.  Drop the exact same video clips and still images into Windows Movie Maker and the quality is spot on (as is playing the slideshow after outputting it as a WMV file and playing via any player capable of playing WMVs).
    Trying to go the other way, ie importing video clips into Photoshop Elements, pretty much always results in it crashing!
    The two products are marketed to "work together", but they are an abject failure in this regard!
    OS is 64 bit Vista Ultimate.
    I've tried searching the manuals and online help, but could find nothing of any help.  I've sent an e-mail to Adobe support, but have received no response from them (after three weeks).
    I'm hoping that someone may be able to point out something that I may have missed, or offer some tips and tricks.
    Thanks.

    There is a separate forum for Premiere Elements at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premiere_elements
    Also, my favorite place for Premiere Elements questions (including slideshows) is a site started by some Adobe Premiere Elements forum regulars at http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/index.php   Forum signup is free. There are multiple subforums at that site and because most of your questions are Premiere elements, I suggest that you post under the "PE version 7" subforum.
    Wherever you decide to post, I suggest that you include in your post my comments and the answers to the questions that I asked here.
    1 -- It has FAQs over to the right of the thread listing on the Adobe Premiere Elements forum. One of those FAQs that is relevant to your current workflow is
    What resolution should my photos be in Premiere Elements?
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
    2 -- Also, I suspect that you used Pan and/or Zoom on some of your photos when creating the Slide Show withinn Photoshop Elements.
    For those photos, you want the Premiere Elements setting of Scale to Framesize set OFF.
    3- There are also other considerations such as
    -- which Project Setting you are using in Premiere Elements?
    -- what dimensions are you using when you export from Premiere Elements to the WMV file?
    -- what is the resolution for the projector on which this video will initially be displayed?
    4 -- I do agree with your approach of adding the video in Premiere Elements.
    5 -- The mangled transitions needs more detailed info in order to discuss.
    Tthe timing of transitions is definitely different between the Photoshop Elements slideshow editor playback and the Premiere Elements output: this gives some people serious problems and for others it is not significant.  I don't know yet if that is your problem.

  • Rsync used STRICTLY for "photos and video" library back-up

    Hi,
    I'm hoping to get some guidance from some experienced users of rsync.
    I'm new to rsync, but have been learning about it.   I'm also new to Terminal.
    .....**For full system back-ups, I use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner)....clean and simple.**
    However, for my large "photo & video library" (over 1 TB on an external drive), I found that CCC, while essentially doing the same as rsync, seems to take MUCH longer.  Rsync, on the other hand, is very fast.
    This leads me to FIVE questions.
    Q1:  Is this because CCC (which uses the rsync command, albeit modified), is doing a check-sum or sometime else behind the scenes?
    Also, looking through the various command lines that other contributors have suggested when using rsync, I am a little confused as to which optional commands are necessary for a PURELY "photo and video" library.
    For the optional commands, I think the ones that are a MUST for me are:
    -a  - "archive" rsync, includes ownership info and extended attributes extremely useful for moving large volumes of data and keeping AD/OD/POSIX permissions intact
    -v - "verbose" gives the user more information on the rsync display
    -x - prevents crossing filesystem boundaries
    -t   - preserves modified time
    --delete  
    This tells rsync to delete any files on the receiving side that aren't on the sending side. Files that are excluded from transfer are excluded from being deleted 
    ....Optionally, I could add the following to view the progress:
    --stats
    This tells rsync to print a verbose set of statistics on the file transfer, allowing you to tell how effective the rsync algorithm is for your data.
    Q2:  Is there anything else I should be adding?
    Q3:  Also, I saw that one contributor used "bash" at the start of the command line.  Is this necessary for my specific purpose?
    Q4:  Snow Leopard comes with rsync version 2.6.9 version 29.   I know that version 3.1.0 is already out, but this would require an installation step (possibly using come Terminal commands, or something like "MacPort"), then adding patches, and perhaps some steps that I haven't mentioned.  Is version 3.1.0 really necessary, and in what way?  Much faster?  Better Integrity of the back-up?  Other?  (o.k., that was more than one question) 
    Q5:  Is there a command to preserve the "CREATED" time of the photo?  Is this taken care of by the " -a " or the " -t "?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi Tony,
    Thanks for your quick reply.  
    A few other questions:
    1.     What is the -N command for?  I could not see it on the rsync.samba.org website.
    That's added with the crtimes patch:
         -N, --crtimes               preserve create times (newness)
    2.     My friend does not have CCC.  She's also using Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  What are the steps to properly install the newest version of rsync?
    Here's what I do:
    1. Download and unarchive rsync and its patches
        a. Move patches directory to rsync-3.1.0
        b. cd rsync-3.1.0
    2. Apply patches relevant to preserving Mac OS X metadata
           patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff
           patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff
    3. Apply patch relevant to preserving Mac OS X hfs+compression
          patch -p1 <patches/hfs-compression.diff
    4. Configure, make, install
            ./prepare-source
            ./configure
            make
            sudo make install
    5. Verify your installation
          rsync --version
    By default, rsync will be installed in /usr/local/bin.
    If that isn't in your path, you will need to call
    your new version of rsync by its absolute
    path in /usr/local/bin (you will most likely need to do this
    and --version will verify that you have the right version)
    (from: Configuring Mac OS X for Unattended Backup Using rsync and updated for hfs+compression patch)
    3.    For myself, what would be the disadvantage of using CCC directly rather than accessing it via Terminal?  When running CCC, what are the default commands being used?
    No disadvantages that I'm aware of. 
    I'm not sure what defaults that Mike is using now, but most of the the flags that I use and posted are from the link above from Mike a few years ago.

Also, it looks like with the single app plan you couldn't even get Premiere/After Effects (for instance) together for $20 a month, just one or the other?
