How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?

Hello Marvelous Movie Making Minds,
I am working with Adobe Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
How can I blend two video clips where they join side by side in one movie?
I know how to place two or more video clips together in the same movie, but how can I give them a bit of a blend just where they join?
I have a PDF instruction manual and the built-in web browser instructions. In the instruction manual in "Chapter 7: Superimposing and Compositing" it talks about the transparency of any video clip, and I understand that... but I don't want to make one or the other video clip transparent anyplace except where the two video clips join together with perhaps a bit of overlap.
I'd like to make a little blur just where the two videos join in the middle... is this possible?
Thanks,
digi

Aha that kind of blending.
Have not used 6.5 in a loooooooong time.
So this is from memory, hope i get this right.
Set the two clip on top of each other
Make a matte in Photoshop and superimpose this over the two clips.
Go to the Transparancy Settings and set the top clip in video 2 to Alpha key.
Screendump for matte:
The right side is made black just for the forum but should be transparant.

How can I make two video clips within one frame?

OK, I have two video clips. I just need to shrink one video and put it in to the corner of my other video. How can I do this?
Thank you for your help!

Hi
Picture in picture - is no a standard option in any version of iMovie.
iMovie ? - 6 You'll need a third party *plug in* to do this: (iM'08 no go at all)
• Stupendous software http://www.stupendous-software.com
• GeeThree http://www.geethree.com
• cf/x. http://www.imovieplugins.com
• Apple http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/ezediapluginsforimovievol1.html
• http://www.imovieplugins.com/fxhome.html
*You also can do this with QuickTime-pro.* But You need the disipline of an angle.
Quoting:
Klaus1 writes: As Bengt says, you can do this with Quicktime Pro. Here is how:
Organize the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in the relevant numbers in the two boxes, in Video Track 1.
PAL (for Europe):
Standard DV (4:3) 788 x 576
DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
NTSC (for the USA):
Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanted in 16:9 repeat for that track.
You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.
Have fun!
END OF QUOTE !
*My way:* When I started to need more than iMovie could offer I took a look into
FinalCut Express and counting the sum of all Plug-ins needed and FCE I found out
that FCE is a real bargin.
• color-correction
• blue/green screen
• 99 video and audio tracks
• slightly rotation a clip eg 1 deg - nice horizon
• slightly or major scale up or down
• and of cause Picture in pictures
And so much more.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

How can I watch a video clip in my iPad 3?

I just got an attached video clip from my brother, sent to my hotmail. When I open the clip, it just shows an overcrossed play bottom! How can I watch a video clip in hotmail, using an iPad? Do I need to download an app or what? Please!?

Well on a Mac you can install
Flash
Silverlight
Perian
VLC
Flip4Mac
DivX
and many other codecs/tools to watch anything.
Guess the iOS isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, ignoring the wider world out there.
Your only choice to complain to Apple about closed devices they make, but of course they know this already and using the iPad as a cheap "netbook" halo effect device so you get to upgrade to a Mac, just like they do with iPhones and iPods.
In the meanwhile they are slowly closing the door on OS X, a little at a time so it's not noticeable.
Pretty soon the excuse will be "sorry I can't play your video you sent me mom, I've got a Mac"

How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?

hello,
How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?
thanks,
Jay

Hi,
I understand that it applied first logo to all other sub sites.
Please make sure that you change the logos in the subsites.
If we change the logo in the root site, the logos in the subsites will be changed at the same time.
However, we can change the logo in the subsites separately.
We can go to a subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo->select a picture, then it will has a different logo than the root site.
Then go to the other subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo-> select another picture, then it will has a different logo that the first subsite.
Best Regards,

How can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???

how can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???
they are on top, which puts the address bar at a variable position depending on how many tab rows exist - makes a moving target for navigating to across my dual 24 inch screens
I tried your "solution" using about:config and setting browser.tab.on.top or whatever to false, but that had NO effect
Maybe because TabMixPlus is installed?
It does allow putting the tabs all the way at the bottom, but I don't like that either.
PLEASE, give me the address bar at TOP with tabs under that!!!
Also, I don't want FlashGot to be at the right of the address bar!!!

why should we use yet another add on to get the tabs back at the bottom? Big mistake.
Moreover, why make FF look more like Chrome? If I wanted Chrome, i would have installed it long time ago.
FF 29.0 is NOT an improvement.
Nasty piece of mud.

I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

I have used the resume tablet and put my resume into format but when emailing it, it will not open on windows. How can I change the format to where they will be able to open and view it?

I guess you mean one of the resume templates.
What "format" have you saved your finished resume in?
The only formats a Windows user will be able to open are .doc (Word), .pdf and rtf. The 1st 2 are usually the best.
There is no Windows version of Pages.

How can I create a video clip that has multiple copies of the same subject playing at the same time? Basically like one person became 50 backup dancers!

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create a single video clip where my original subject (dancer) is multiplied on the screen many times. Basically I am trying to create a background video for a dance team and want to make it look like an army of the same person dancing behind them. Amy guidance would be great!
Thanks

Motion ($50) can do this with a replicator.

How can I combine two video files into one finished file?

I'm making a video of a guitar player. I'm using two cameras simultaneously. One gives the overall wide shot, and the other is zoomed in on his hands. Both cameras run at the same time. I would like to use the wide shot as the main video, and occasionally fade in clips from the zoomed in shot to show details of his playing. I can manually line up both files so they are synchronized. How do I cut a clip out of the main (wide) shot, leave the gap there, and insert a clip from the closeup? I'm putting the two video files on two of the video timelines and synchronizing them that way.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?

The effect you are looking for is 'Picture in Picture'. If you want the gap to be there for the duration of the timeline add some 'black video' - from the Tasks Pane> New Item - on the video track above the main track. Resize / position it to where you wish it to be.
Then with your second clip (now on video track 3)
Do the same sizing / positioning for it.
split video and audio and delete or disable the audio.
Cut it where you want the various start/ends of the fade to be.
Delete, or just disable (right-click) the unnecessary segments.
Apply fade in / out to the remaining segments.
[EDIT]
Also check out the 'Presets' in Video Effects. There are a variety of PiP presets that may do what you need.

How can I have two videos side-by-side, like a newscast?

You can do this in iMovie 11 by using the Side By Side Feature.
Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure the Advanced Tools are enabled. Then drag the first clip to your project. Drag the second clip to your project and drop it on the first clip where you want it to start. Then, a popup menu will appear. Choose Side By Side.

How can I reload my video clips to my iPhone after uploading to my computer?

How can I edit a video clip in PE and take it out of PE to use elsewhere?

I want to add edited video clips from PE to use in my photoshop slideshow. I would also like to use the edited clips in another programme, but I only get a file that can only be opened in PE. I have PE 4 and Photoshop 6.on a desktop PC using Vista.

Many thanks for your reply.
I have video thumbnails from my video camera in My Videos folder. I would like to edit them individualy and return them to my folder as thumbnails again.
I hope I have explained my needs properly. I have made a slideshow including video on photoshop, but I get lost with it on PremE so I have kept to the job on PhotoEl. It seems to work for me apart from the problem of editing the video clips. I have added audio to the slideshow, but when it gets to a video clip I lose the video's sound. I would like to keep that rather than the added audio (music) that plays over the stills.
As you have no doubt realised, I am a beginner and a pensioner. Would senility be an excuse?
Thanks again,

How can I crop my video clips at non-90 degree angles?

Looking to get more of a trapazoid shape for a few video clips so I can piece them together and rotate them as if they were segments (pie slices) of a larger circle. Is this what masks are for or is there an easier way to do this? Thanks,
jagr

Create a shape, add a mask. That's what it's for
