Video Effects - "clip" - where is it now ?

Hi everyone,
I was looking at this tutorial this evening,
http://www.wrigleyvideo.com/videotutorial/tutdes_ppro_pipedge.htm
In it, the gentleman shows how to add a simple frame around a piece of video that he was using for a video in video effect.
He applies a filter called "clip" and by changing the parameters, he creates a nice border around the video.
Where is this "clip" effect located ? is it gone now ? , I believe the tutorial was made with an older version, so perhaps the "trim" effect is now gone, or perhaps renamed to something else ?
Dave.

Hello Curt and welcome to the group :-)
P.S.
Apart from feeling rather foolish, here is a good question.
In Photoshop, we can quickly add a border to any image, by using the outline feature. Why would Adobe decide to remove the "clip" option ?
I don't understand this. Did they replace the "clip" feature with something more powerful ? ( I'll assume that there is no "outline" option that can be added to a video clip ( to give it a picture frame effect )
I thank everyone for their work-arounds this past week.
Dave.

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.

Is it possible to set IN/OUT points for video effects within a single clip in PE4?

Hello,
In PE4, Is it possible to use keyframes to simply turn certain video effects on/off at different points within a single clip ?
Some effects (i.e. Invert)have a Blend With Original setting which makes this easy to achieve, but others (i.e. Ripple)do not.
I understand how to use keyframes to adjust effect properties at different points within a clip, I just can't find a way to simply 'turn-off' or bypass an effect for a period of time.
Thanks All, CB

Chris,
As Steve points out, most Effects are OFF, by default (usually setting their parameters to 0). I just add a Keyframe for that Effect, with those properties, where you want the Effect to be OFF (but check that each Effect that you use starts as OFF, just to be sure). Then, in between the OFF settings, I add Keyframes with the desired parameters to invoke that particular Effect.
One can also use the Razor/Sissors to cut the Clip into segments (just do not move them) to keep the Keyframes in one area of the original Clip. I usually work on the entire Clip, as once the Keyframe is set to OFF for that Effect, no more Keyframes are needed.
Some Effects also have a Bypass setting, that can be Keyframed (in P Pro, and assume in PE). This can be handy to fully turn OFF any Effect. Note: even in P Pro, not all Effects have a Bypass setting.
As usual with PE (and P-Pro and PS), there can be a couple of ways to accomplish the same thing. One can choose the method that suits them best.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

I have rented a movie on iTunes and saw it downloading. Where is it now?? I have looked under videos, as someone suggested, but there is nothing there and no "rentals" tab - or any other tabs to choose.

I have rented a movie from iTunes but where is it now? I have looked under videos,as someone suggested, but there is nothing there and no tabs to choose.

It does take some time for a movie to download, could it still be downloading ? Also the rental tab is only there when you have rented a movie. If all else fails talk to iTunes support, they have helped me in the past.

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.

Clip video effects suddenly aren't working on already-exported project!

I exported an iMovie 11 project to iTunes, and then realized I didn't apply color changes to it. I went back into iMovie, then trimmed a clip and it gave me the usual "you have edited your project, you'll have to finalize it again", or whatever it usually says. But then I went to edit the video effects, and no results are showing in the viewer...?

Reboot. For some reason, I had experienced a loss of audio in '11 on a couple of PROJECTS even though I clearly saw the streams still there as welll as the transition effects and after a reboot, they worked again. Plus, check your drive space. Depending on how long the video is, it may be taking up too much space therefore hosing up the memory.
I hope that helps.

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.
Cheers
Eddie

More than one video effect for same clip?

Is it possible to apply more than one video effect to the same clip? I know this could be done in previous versions of iMovie, but I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this task in '09!!
Thanks!

In general, no, you cannot do two video effects at the same time.
However, black and white is a special case, because you can achieve this using Video Adjustments.
You can select Aged Film and then adjust to Black and White in Video Adjustments.
Try setting the Saturation slider all the way to the left (0%)
Then, move the Contrast slider to the right until it is around 50%.

Have you seen my User Tipp here
"Movie Magic" with Stills and Dissolve
When you 'prep' your stills in any 'picture app', you can do a lot of marvel by simply applying dissolves.
In your case, I would create a white document (in Pixelmator, Keynote, Photshop, online at pixlr.com, whatever ...) and another with your logo (and further more ones with additional logos). Drag the jpgs into your iMovie Project and apply dissolves - tadahh! - logos appear on white.

How to create this video effect in my videos?

Hi all, new here, just got Premiere Elements 7 a week back, and must say i'm impressed...
I came across a video effect in a song found here (found from 0:53 till 1:30) where the screen goes completely white for a fraction of a second in a smooth manner and the picture returns again after that.
In fact i also want the effect of the fast forwarding of the video (audio remains the same) for a few seconds, which can also be found in the same clip in the same duration as i stated earlier... But till now i haven't been so successful at applying these...
Can you please help me out? Thanks!

For the "flash to white" you might take Paul's suggestion and invert it, i.e. placing the white matte on the Video Track (VT) above your footage, and Keyframing its Opacity. Personally, I'd look at doing this with Keyframing of Levels and cutting in a few frames of the white matte. Not sure about PE's Levels Effect (might look into some of the other "brightness" Effects too), but I'd be doing this in PrPro, which has a few more similar Effects.
One tip on the "fast-forward:" this was likely shot that way, with the camera mounted on a sturdy tripod and the a momentary switch used on the camera to do "stop motion" as the actors moved in the scene. If you do the Time Remapping, make sure to shoot on a tripod, so that the background does not change positions, only the actors to keep it looking clean. It also appeared to me that the videographer shot a few frames without the talent in the scene and these were either created in camera, or were inserted. I might have imagined this, but its use could be effective also. To keep the Audio at the exact pitch and speed, when Time Remapping, you'll want to use a soundtrack, and not rely on the Audio from the camera. You can do some work with the camera Audio to try and maintain pitch, but it can be a lot of work. Even for ambient sounds, i.e. the background sounds of the field, or forrest, I'd keep it, plus the soundtrack, separate from the Video stream.
An older Sci-Fi parody, "Ice Bandits" used a bit of stop motion freeze-framing and also under-cranking of the camera, for both Audio & Video, to create a humorous take on this Effect. If you can get a copy of that (might be on DVD?), look at the battle-scenes near the end. Heavy makeup changes were also incorporated to simulate "aging" when the action was sped up. The Time Remapped Audio contributed to the humor aspect, as the voices took on a "chipmunk-like" sound, and even the SFX were sped up too.
I don't see much real stop motion anymore in video, as much can be done in post. Back in the cine days, it was used for all sorts of effects. Jack Boseburg did a three-film trilogy, called "Trolley," that incorporated a lot of real stop-motion camera work. In his film, he controlled the camera with an intervelometer. I doubt that you could find a copy of this, however, as it was never commercially released.
Good luck,
Hunt

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,
Hunt

After effects clip doesn't appear in finished film

I have produced a short film in premiere pro with a 6 second after effects clip at the end. When I export it to encoder to produce a FLV/F4V film for youtube,the after effects clip does not appear even tho I can see it encoding and there is a 6 second blank film at the end. I don't understand this as I have done this a few months previously on another premierepro film and could see the after effects clip. I have repeated the encoding on the earlier film and now cannot see the AE clip. I have slightly changed the AE clip - only changing the font colour so nothing major. I am working with CS4
Any ideas as to whatis happening?
PhoebeSparke

Hi Mark
It was a stupid mistake on my part - the AE project was set at 24fpm whereas the Premiere Pro project was set at 25fpm so I guess they were contradicting each other. I'm still not sure how this could have happened but I am glad I have sorted it. Thanks very much for your interest

CS6 takes my After Effects clips offline.

Hello,
I'm running a Mac Pro 5,1 with 32 gigs of memory and an Nvidia Quadro 4000. I have a timeline contaning nothing but After Effects compositions that reside in three or four different AE project files. All were imported into AE CS6 from CS5.5 (it's a long-term project).
Here's the problem:
When I open Premiere Pro CS6 it takes a long time to populate the Project Panel and timeline with the AE linked clips. Some clips never populate and are replaced with red or yellow "media offline" placeholders. To speed playback, on the rare occasion I get a linked clip in every section of the timeline I try to render the clips. Some work and score a green bar (though clips with lots of effects take extremely long to render). Several render only partially before returning a "compiling error" message. When this happens, others that were linked and rendered can suddenly go offline. Sometimes the entire timeline becomes red placeholders.
A reboot and reopening of Pr used to fix this, albeit without giving every previously-rendered clip a green "rendered" status. Now the project rarely finds even a majority of the clips. None have been moved or renamed and all open up in After Effects. Going back and selecting a clip to relink it can work occasionally, but on several occasions has also caused neighboring clips to drop offline.
This is really the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my CS6 problems of the past week. If I could just get my timeline up and showing green bars for segments I've already rendered then I would at least feel stuck in place, rather than going backwards.
Can anyone help?
Thanks much,
Gene

Hey,
I do not know if my solution will work for you. I have CS5.5 on MacBook Pro (2.2Ghz i7, 8GB ram, OSX 10.7.4) and I had bunch of clips where I had to stabilize them in AE. I used Dynamic Link for that. I didn't find any solution online.
I work on dual monitors so that's why these screenshots below look weird.
First I did, I opened an AE file, with dynamic links. I had 2 of them (2 projects). [somebody gave a good tip to keep all Dynamic Links in 1 AE project]
Second, I marked all the Dynamic Links which could not be found in PrP. I marked them in the files window.
Then I right click on them and "Link Media" BUT, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE. PrP found the files itself. So I clicked "Cancel" in the window which popped up.
I don't know if there has to be that order of doing this. I was doing that first time and this is how I did it. Actually by accident.
ohhh. now I see it was in May... sorry, probably you don't need it any more...
