Applying video effects in Premiere at the track or media level?

Hello,
   I am trying to adjust to the Premiere workflow, coming from Vegas, and have a question regarding the application of video effects. Premiere seems to apply effects at the clip level - for example, if there is a cut in the clip, the effect is only applied to a portion of the clip. Vegas allows for the application of effects at the media level - no matter how many cuts have been made - or at the track level. Is there something comparable in Premiere? I have been trying to apply the Neat Video effect, and the only thing I can think of is to select multiple clips when applying it, but it seems to crash Premiere when I do that. Any advice on making this work would be much appreciated.
   On a related topic, does Premiere apply effects in a chain, as they are added, or does it automatically perform an reffect first if it should be applied first? In other words, does it matter in what order the effects are applied, and if so, is there a rough order of how they should be applied?

I'm running Premiere Pro 5.5 and have been able to lasso and apply my effects to several of my clips all at once.
Once you apply the effect and fine-tune (if need be), you can right-click and create a User Preset to help save time (say if all of your clips needed to be color corrected). The User Presets are the first folder listed in the Effects bin.
As far as the effects order are concerned, you pretty much have to play around with those yourself. I use a Video Limiter effect with a ProcAmp and have noticed that if they aren't in a certain order (the first listed effect is the first applied...) it changes how it looks and not always for the best. Best bet is to play around and see what order of video effects works best for you.
Good Luck!

  • Apply video effect to a segment of a clip?

    I am selecting a small segment of a larger clip, when I apply a video effect like "Black & White"  the effect is put on the entire clip, not the part I have selected.
    Am I missing something?

    Sigamy
    Put your playhead (the yellow vertical line) where you want your effect to start, then hit command+B, then move the playhead where you want the effect to end, then hit command+B again, this will create a new stand alone clip that you can now apply your effect to without impacting the other parts of the clip.

  • How to apply video effects across several clips

    Does anyone know how to apply a video effect across several clips in a sequence, as opposed to doing each clip individually?

    Nest the sequence and apply the effect to the nested sequence.
    You will find links to many free tutorials in the
    Premiere Pro Wiki that will quickly
    show you how things are done in PPro.

  • Video Effects in Premiere Pro?

    I am new to Premiere Pro.
    What is the extent of Premiere's video effects capabilities?
    I am making a music video and want to overlay various transparent images over video, speed video up and apply different color filters or blurs to video.
    Is this possible with Premiere? Or should I look for other software?
    If it is possible what would be a good source of free tutorials to get me up to speed in how to implement these effects?

    I am making a music video and want to overlay various transparent images over video, speed video up and apply different color filters or blurs to video.
    Is this possible with Premiere?
    Absolutely... but it depends on the editors creativity and competency with the application and achieving "the vision."
    Don't expect these effects to be a simple  Drag and Drop prebuilt effect on top of a clip and BINGO.
    You need to craft them with the tools available in PPro ( and /or AEFX). eg Masks, Blend Modes, Opacity, Filters.
    Do a search on Premiere "blend modes" for a start.    ( Tip.  These are effectively the same in Photoshop and AEFX)
    Example  frame grabs were done with Layers, Blend Mode -Overlay , combined with Opacity and CCd to B&W

  • How come I need to render EVERY TIME I apply an effect in Premiere Pro CC?

    I am using Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.2 (33) on a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac with 24GB of memory and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB graphics card. The footage I am importing is ProRes 422 1920x1080 square pixel 24 frames progressive footage.
    When I place clips onto the timeline, they play without any issue. In fact, they play beautifully! However, whenever I apply an effect, the clips needs to be rendered. Here's the biggest problem though, every effect needs to be rendered and I don't even need to change the settings of the effect. Just placing the effect on the clip causes a red line to appear above my clip.
    Help!?

    Kevin,
    They do play back. They don't become labored or jerky until I begin taxing the GPU with stacked or complex effects. John T Smith was right on about the hardware deficiency and your insight into my FCP past and red render lines completed the answer for me.
    It looks like I'm now in the market for a hardware upgrade.
    Thank you, both.

  • Applying One effect to several clips (not tracks!)

    i have one track with about 40 clips in it of different cut up audio. i want to apply one effect to several different clips at once. how do i do that?
    i know how to apply the one effect to one clip, but if i try and shift click four different clips, and then go to add an effect to it, the effects are grayed out
    and i really don't want to go into each clip, add an effect, adjust it and save it for every clip.
    is there an easier way?

    There are a few ways to do this. The simple way is to apply the filter to one clip. Open it into the viewer and change the parameters as you like. Select all the other clips and drag the filter name from the viewer onto the other clips. They all have the same setting.

  • Help! Trouble applying video effects

    Hi. Hope someone can help me!
    I can't seem to apply video filters to my clips in FCP. I've tried everything, including various methods for applying filters and trying different filter types. The only thing that seems to work is when I add an effect to the master clip (not ideal!), and even this method fails as soon as I drag the clip from the viewer into the timeline. Then, poof! No effects!
    I don't understand why this is happening.
    I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11 and FCP 5.0.4.
    Thanks!

    #44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
    Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
    If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
    1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
    2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
    3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
    4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

  • Using Front Panel Composite Video 2 RCA Jack on the HP m8000 Media Center PC

    I have a HP M8000 Computer with front panel RCA jacks, composite video 2 and Left and Right Audio RCA jacks.  I have been unable to determine how to select  these jacks for inputting video recordings to the computer.  Any ideas on how to use these jacks to input video from my VCR?

    The front composite video jacks did not have software support for the release of this PC.  The analog video software was not compatible with Windoze-Vista so there was no software given with this PC model that supported analog video input.

  • Apply timecode effect to Premiere Pro project

    Hello,
    I've been trying to apply a timecode effect to my Premiere Pro (5.5) project, but despite all my attempts, I can't see the timecode on the monitor when I apply it.
    Apparently, I am doing everything correctly: creating a black video or a transparent video file and applying the 'timecode' effect over it, so I don't understand why it is not visible... Has anybody ever had a similar problem?
    I am attaching a photo of the problem...
    Thanks in advance!

  • When i apply slow effect to a clip the visual disappears

    when i apply the slow motion effect the image disappears, it is just a black clip. it will preview appropriately, but will not play back as a slowed down clip

    Hi ayven:
    Welcome to discussions!
    Are you using an external drive?
    Is it's format Mac OS Extended? To find that out, connect the external drive and then launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). You'll see your external drive in Disk Utility's side bar.
    Select it and then click the Erase tab at the top. From the Volume Format menu select Mac OS Extended-Journaled and then click the oval Erase button at the lower right.
    That's about it, except you should make a backup copy of your files because this will erase the drive!

  • Timecode video effect issue in Premiere Pro CS6?

    Appears to be similar in description to the issue folks were having back in 5.5.  Here's the details...
    • New install, making the jump from FCP, first open of this PPCS6 install.
    • Source footage brought in as DVCproHD 720p @ 60 fps. Imported into new bin and then onto timeline in sequence 1... works beautifully.
    • New transparent video clip on track above footage, stretched to full production length.  Applied video effect > timecode to transparent clip.
    • I see the positioning crosshairs and darkened translucent box and the field indicator... but no rolling numbers, even after rendering.
    Just need to make a TC burn of the footage and I've spent half a day trying to get the burn to work.
    Any ideas?

    Peter,
    Thanks for your response, however, no avail, same issue.  However, I think I may have found what this issue's root cause is...  being a designer, I've far too many fonts installed (managed via Linotypes manager) with a conflict here and there, and I've had to use my customer's "helvetica" and other fonts on occasion.  I activated a new account on my computer (nice and clean fonts & settings) fired up the same document in Premiere and BOOM rolling timecode appears.  So with that solution in hand, my thought is somewhere I've damaged/lost the font in my base account that Premiere uses to generate timecode.  I wish it was a setting I could change in the timecode video effect to choose what font is used... maybe you could pass that on to product development?  Or do you know specifically what font it uses for the TC video effect?
    Anyway, thanks for your reply... now I'm off to go see if I can fix the font issue in my base user account.

  • Video effects not working on nested sequences in Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi -
    I am having some trouble with Premiere ProCS5. I have a project with a few clips which I put together in one sequence. I put this sequence into another sequence. There I will add one or two tracks of additional images and apply color correction.
    The problem is: None of the video effects I drag onto the sequence (which now is a nested sequence) have any effect. Whatever I change in the effect controls will not sho up in the monitor. Audio effects do work, though. Furthermore, none of the tracks above the nested clip are displayed. To clarify: The nested track is on V1, another clip is on V2 and an image is on V3. Only V1 gets displayed.
    I know this is supposed to work and it actually does in another project created in the same version on the same machine with the same kind of material. But no matter how often I create a new project, applying video effects to a nested sequence just does not work.
    Even more strange is the fact that my applied effects DO show up in the "Export Settings" window. They DON'T, however, in the final rendered file. I would suggest this is a bug.
    What could be the reason for this behaviour?

    It can help if you Toggle Track Output to ON. The visibility icon on the left side on each track.

  • Mercury Engine in After Effects CS5.5? Or, why is After Effects so much slower the Premiere Pro?

    Take this quote :
    "by Todd Kopriva on Apr 25, 2010 at 8:08:14 am
    'Mercury' is a marketing name for these performance improvements in Premiere Pro: - multiprocessing
    - multithreading
    - 64-bit application
    - use of CUDA to to some processing on supported hardware 
    The first three of these are in After Effects CS5. (The first two have been in After Effects for much longer.)"
    However, if I drop my Canon 5D Mark II footage (h264) into Premiere Pro it plays back SO MUCH better then the exact same footage in After Effects. Why is that? I DO NOT have an NVideo card and I have NOT applied any effects or scaling to the clip, just raw footage dropped into each program.
    I do notice that After Effects has to render to play back (green bar being generated above footage). But it does slow very slowly, like 9fps. Premier Pro seems to cruise right along at near realtime. This is 24fps 1080p footage. One other point of interest, I have encoded the clip into Cineform codec as well. On Premier Pro I can tell a difference, the cineform scrubs a lot smoother then the original H264 clip. But, again, in After effects both the h264 and Cineform clips are very slow to render and scrub.
    Any improvements along these lines for CS5.5?
    Am I just missing something obvious?
    Thanks for any info,
    --greg.

    I think the problem is that hitting the space bar and hitting '0' (ram preview) both draw that green bar, and both seem to use it if it is already there. I guess the real difference is how that green bar gets generated. It does seem to get generated faster when I ram preview as opposed to hitting the space bar. Using both cores I have I guess (early 2009 24" iMac).
    When you hit the space bar, AE TRIES to play back as it renders each frame.  Imagine what happens if it's a comp with 120 3D layers that all accept lights and cast shadows.  That's why you don't use the space bar.
    In a RAM Preview, AE fills up the memory available to it with rendered frames, then plays them back from RAM.  Depending on processor speed, dimensions of comp & frame rate, this may or may not be real time, but there are ways to get real time.  With the space bar, you don't stand a chance at real time.
    Gregory Seattle wrote:
    From what I hear new iMacs are due out soon with the new Thunderbolt (!) and Sandy Bridge processors/chipsets. Should be a LOT faster then what I have now.
    For AE work I'd say maybe yes, maybe no.  To make AE REALLY speedy, you need a lot of processor cores and a boatload of RAM.  iMacs aren't known for either of those things.

  • How do you preview the video effects?

    Hi,
    I am just wondering how to preview the video effects in Premiere Pro without having to add them to the timeline to view them. Anyone have any idea?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kerri

    Kerri,
    Much of where a Transition is positioned will depend on your Clips, themselves. Here's another topic for your "Autumn Reading List" - Handles.
    The understanding of these will go a very long way to understanding the placement and operation of Transitions.
    Here's a short bit on Handles, but the manual (if they still have those) and the Help files will give you a lot more info.
    Initially, Handles are a bit of an abstract concept, but once you get it, you'll fully understand some of the behavior of Transitions. Well worth reading.
    Good luck,

  • Color on exported video on Adobe Premiere Pro Is a bit off from the original source video

    I have both Cyberlink powerdirector 10.0 and Adobe Premiere Pro C6
    I noticed that adobe premere cs6. when exporting the video.. colors are a little off.. never matching the same tones as the original
    source
    i took a screenshot  so you can see what i mean.. Notice Adobe is a a little mor orange. is there a way to fix this? Cyberlink powedirector always matches the source color when you export it. except Adobe Premiere Pro CS 6
    i have windows 7 64 bit (Nvidia GeForce GTX 670M

    Thanks for answering. I ddi notice different media players show colors different. But on the screenshot i just showed you.. all 3 are from the same media player.
    For some reason everytime i export a video from Adobe premiere pro the color is never the same as the source on media player. I tried it on 4 different videos. Other software programs like cyberlink power director export the video with no color change.
    1)The original source from the picture is a mpeg-4 (avc)
    2)i always use wmv codec to encode all videos. So the shot from Premiere Pro was using WMV codec. and the other shot (cyberlink powerdirector) was also wmv to encde.
    3) I even tried to see if maybe i used a  different video format to encode it would fix the slight color change. like h264 and mov.. but nope still same issue
    4) I did what you told me to show the source and exported video on Adobe Premiere and really weird. the exporterd video from Adobe Premiere now shows the exact color as the source.. but the exported video from Cyberlinkpowerdirector shows the color a bit different.
