Wall of parallel clips, then zooming in on one of them

Hello
I have a bunch of video clips, each having the same original size. I want to combine them so that they run in parallel on one screen, about like that:
(this is simplified, I have more clips than shown on this sketch)
Then, I want to slowly zoom in on one of the clips until it appears full-size. Then, zoom out so that all clips appear, then zoom in on the second clip, etc.
What's the best way to do that in Premiere Pro? Zooming each clip individually is way too much work, since there are so many clips. So, I need a way to apply the zooming effect to all of them simultaneously.
I first thought of creating this "video wall" in sequence 1, whithout having any zoom there. Then, I'd nest sequence 1 into sequence 2, so I'd have only one track in sequence 2, and I could apply the zooming effect there. Unfortunately, this does not work: If I do it that way, there is a huge quality loss because the clips are scaled down in sequence 1, and then scaled up again by the zoom effect. I was surprised of this quality loss, I thought there was no quality loss if I un-checked "Use Previews".
Thank you for any hints!

Glad to hear you got it working to your satisfaction in After Effects.
Just to attempt to put a cap on this, I believe that the reason that Adobe makes it so that once you put a clip in a sequence and then nest the sequence, the nested sequence acts like a clip that has been exported and reimported, is that is exactly the function that they were trying to replace.
I can see where that could be a problem for some situations, but I think it makes nested sequences a lot easier to understand and to use. The rendering order is not as obvious in Premiere Pro as it is in After Effects. Personally though, I think that the direction Adobe out to go is simply to dramatically improve their memory management and just have tabs across the top of the app. One for editing, one for compositing, one for audio, etc. Each one would look pretty much the same but be optimized for the task much like the workspaces are in Premiere Pro. But the compositing tab would actually be AFter Effects and the Audio tab would be Audition, etc.
I wrote an email a few days ago asking Andrew Kramer to consider a new product offering. One that would basically trick Premiere Pro users into using After Effects for their titles by making it extremely easy. I believe that in lieu of a product from Adobe named "After Effects Elements", that slowly nudging editors toward compositing with After Effects in a painless way would be a challenging yet worthwhile effort. The more people who buy into the Creative Cloud concept like I have, the more who could be using After EFfects. Perhaps after that happens, we can get them also using Illustrator instead of just Photoshop!

How do I change a clip from say, side by side to picture in picture without deleting the clip then reinserting it

I'm creating an iMovie '11 project and added a side by side video clip but now I want to change the side by side to a picture in a picture. The only way I now know is to delete the clip, then replace it and when I do that, the advanced tools window opens and I can pick. Is there a way to open that window when the clip is already in place?

I also have this question. Avid lets you change the frame up/down - to/from a dissolve point. In other words, I could have a dissolve go "up" at, for example, 5 frames, and then "down" at, say, 15 frames. As it stands now, FCPX only allows you the same amount of frames on either side of the cross-dissolve. (A 30-frame dissolve is split 15 frames on either side of the transition.)
Other NLE's give you the option for a dissolve to occur at the BEGINNING, in the MIDDLE (STANDARD CROSS-DISSOLVE) or at the END of a transition. (Depending, of course, on if you have the "handles" to execute the transition,)
Can we achieve this in FCPX? Is this where we launch the "precision editor?"

My Ipod seems to be stuck in a manified or zoom mode. If I turn it off it goes to normal print size for aout 2 seconds and then zooms in too large to use. Help?

My ipod seems to be stuck in a magnified or zoom mode. If i turn it off, it goes back to normal size for about 3 seconds and then zooms in so large that it is unuseable. Someone help! Please.

Did you follow the instructions in the link I provided in my first reply?
Also try triple clicking the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn Zoom off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there.

Can you create a new comp from a clip after you already have one in your project?

I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that clip down to the timeline panel, After Effects will create a new composition based off of the specs of the clip, which is exactly as long as the clip. Is there a way to do this after you have already created one composition in your project?
I've tried it and it just wants to add the clip to an already opened composition or if you close all the compositions, it wants to add it to the render queue.

> I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that

composition based off of the specs of the clip
Actually, that's not quite right. To create a new composition with settings that match those of the footage item, you drag the footage item to the Create A New Compsotion button at the bottom of the Project panel. See "Create a composition".
If you drag a footage item from the Project panel to the Timeline panel for an already existing composition, then you are telling After Effects to create a new layer based on that footage item inside the existing composition.
If you drag a footage item to the Render Queue panel, then After Effects creates a new composition from the footage item and immediately adds that composition to the render queue.

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

In Prem. Elements 8, how can I zoom in on one face in a slide?

I am putting together a slide show in PE 8. I have a slide with multiple face and want to zoom in on one face. I don't want to zoom in on all the slides so I don't think I want to use presets. Is there a way to do it for one slide? I also have PSE 8. Thanks for any help.

For Zooming into a still image, you will want to Keyframe the fixed Effect>Motion>Scale and probably also Motion>Position, unless that face is perfectly in the center. You will Select the Clip/slide and go to the Effects Tab, where you will choose Edit Effects, and that will show you the fixed Effects, like Motion (with a triangle to reveal Scale and Position), Opacity, etc. Place Keyframes where you want the Zoom to start, and where you want it to end up, and adjust the Scale for the latter.
Good luck,
Hunt

The sound on all(!) my captured clips isn't audible until i pan them. help!

Hi all, I'm fairly new to FCP.
I have captured hours of HDV documentary footage, and used the Easy Setup HDV presets to do it. This captures sound as 'channel grouped' rather than stereo pair.
The sound I recorded in the field was generally from a single stereo mic. I'm now going through the bins of clips, and giving them names... the trouble is that the audio on every clip isn't audible when I play them. The weird thing is that if I pan the 2 mono channels for each clip to full left and right, then the sound returns and is fine. I thought I'd have to do it on the timeline, by modifying every clip i used to be 'Stereo Pair', but I've worked out I can manually pan the clips in the bin using the audio mixer tool.
The trouble is, I have a LOT of clips, and was wondering if there was a clever way of sorting out this problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thomas
(ps. the sound for the clips comes out fine when I play them directly just using quicktime outside of FCP).

Hi all, I'm fairly new to FCP.< </div>
Welcome to the family, we all started someplace. But you have committed yourself to a big project without testing your workflow before jumping.
First piece of advice: Locate your tapes, you are probably going to recapture everything.
The sound I recorded in the field was generally from a single stereo mic. I < </div>
"Generally?" What about the exceptions? If you have shot with different audio settings, you cannot use the same preset for all of tapes.
What you have not determined is whether or not the sound exists in your captured media. Do the VU meters show audio data in all tracks? If so, you've got one kind of problem and some of the HDV guys can help you. If not, you have a different kind of problem and you'll want to gather your tapes for a marathon recapture session.

Resolve 9 round-trip: How to break up a clip for different grades on one round-trip

I am using FCP X-->Resolve 9 round-trip.
I have one cam angle with several different closeups of different band members. The lighting is different so each close-up needs different grading. However, the shoot was continuous so there is only one clip from this cam.
I would like to export multiple segments of the clip to Resolve, for separate grading, and then export back to FCP X, all in one round-trip.
I first tried blading the clip in FCP X into several segments, with blade cuts between the different closeups. Then I exported XML and imported into Resolve 9. Resolve ignored the blade cuts and only saw one clip, I assume because the different segments retain the same clip name.
Can I somehow split this clip into multiple segments that Resolve will see a separate "clips" in the same Project, so I can grade each diferently and then send back in one round-trip?
Or instead must I do multiple grades of the same clip in Resolve and multiple exports back to FCP X?
There must be a simple way to do this with one round-trip.
What is the best approach?

When I look in the Info.plist file for the AppleUSBCDCDriver kext, which is what the driver should be for a USB modem, there are three driver personalities listed: DeviceClass = 2, DeviceProtocol = 0, DeviceSubClass = 0; DeviceClass = 2, DeviceProtocol = 0, DeviceSubClass = 2; DeviceClass = 2, DeviceProtocol = 1, DeviceSubClass = 2. When I look at the info for the Phone with USB Prober, the class, protocol and subclass are all 0 and it is assigned to the AppleUSBComposite driver which appears to be a default when it doesn't know what else to use.
Does that information come from the phone or is it assigned by the Mac? I'm wondering if the Mac doesn't recognize the phone and is assigning default values, or if the phone is responding with the wrong values causing it not to be assigned to the right driver. Are there other USB utilities out there which could possibly configure the phone's USB port to identify itself correctly?

Why is premiere creating one really big clip instead of many smaller ones when I am trying to create multicam source sequences

Ok I am trying to create multicam clips from a shoot. I have 198 clips from two to three cameras and an audio source. I have created multicam clips in the past by simply putting them all into one bin, selecting all, right click, Create multicam source sequence, and then it processes them and creates multicam clips for me to use to edit.
I am doing that process now to only have PP make one really big clip instead of a bunch of little ones. Help!

And the other thing I think of is that you opened up the multicamera sequence as a New Sequence From Clip, instead of Open in Timeline.
That would give you one long flat sequence, but 198 panels if you opened it in your multicamera monitor

Why do my photos zoom in when I add them to a video?

I am not experienced at all with premiere pro at all. i have to just splice videos and photos together. My videos come out fine but when I try to add photos to this video it like zooms in or takes only a portion of the picture and adds it. Its very strange. Like I said though I do not really know Premiere Pro so work with me here if this is a dumb question X)
Thanks, Russ

Probably because your sequence is 1920X1080 or smaller and your images are in the neighborhood of 4000X3000 or more.
I suggest that you just scale them down with the Scale parameter of the Motion effect. Once you do that to one of them, you can copy it, and then "Paste Attributes" on the others to make them the same size. That way you can adjust them a little later if you wish.
The other way is to set them to "Scale to Frame Size" but that resamples them and you can't zoom back in without losing quality. Also, if they are the wrong shape (quite likely) then you will be stuck with bars on the sides.

Red line on top of clips, how can I get rid of them?

I'm trying to delete these old clips that are just cluttering my iMovie! But every time I try to delete them, nothing happens! They appear to have a red line on the top, and are like, .1 seconds long. I didn't make them that long or anything, they just wouldn't delete. It's starting to really make me antsy since I'd like to do a project for a friend but with all the clutter, I have a hard time finding what I'm looking for!
Please help!

If you want to delete the clips go to the iMovie window near the bottom, there's a pull-down list marked "Show", click on that and choose 'Rejected Only', this will only show the clips with red stripes on them.
Then you can click to select one of them, then hold down the ⌘ Command key + A to select all of the rejected clips. Then click on the button just above that window and towards the right that is labeled "Move to Trash". If they don't move, you can also just click the button titled "Hide Rejected" for now and worry about the rejected clips later.

Cannot update published website without errors: requires deletion of site, then creating a new one.

Hello all,
This has been a long persisting issue since we purchased Muse in January 2013, but has since then led to a shutdown of my office's website and email in September. Multiple support technicians were eventually able to restore the website, as well as our email function, but the core of the problem lies in the fact that when I update my website, it becomes entirely scrambled, and the only solution provided to me right now is that I need to delete my site completely (through Adobe Business Catalyst) and then create a new one, while transferring over the same domain information. I have yet to receive guidance on how to resolve this issue properly:
September 06 Email: detailing the series of events
Good evening, Zak,
I am reluctant to bring this to your attention because of the comprehensive nature of the following, but I have been told that my absolute last effort should be to contact you with what has been a persistent problem since the last time we had mediated this particular issue. Essentially, when publishing a website multiple times, sooner than later the format becomes scrambled when viewed online. I am being told I am the only customer known to have this issue, and that it needs to be investigated deeper.
This is a blurb from our original conversation in March 2013:

I'm also puzzled. This isn't a problem I've seen before for a site published to Business Catalyst.
Please try publishing again, this time to a new temporary site (they're free). You can choose this option under More Options in the Publish dialog. I'm curious whether publishing to a new empty trial site works.
If that doesn't work, please send me the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, SendThisFile, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc.
Thanks.

Hi Zak,
I published the website to a new temporary site, and it worked beautifully. Now I just have to fuss with the horizontal bar, and then I'll be super happy. Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
Sarah
Since this bit of advice, I have freely published to a new temporary site every time the website gets scrambled. I have had temporary websites titled:
argponline01.businesscatalyst.com
through
argponline15.businesscatalyst.com
along with a bunch more than I cannot recall.
and Muse files titled:
argp-uc.muse
argponline.muse
argponline_02.muse
through
argponline_05.muse
argponine_3A.muse
argponline_3B.muse
and currently, my file name is
argponline_4.muse (dropbox link)
I am using Muse on a Mac Powerbook, OSX 10.8.4.
I don't know how much of the above is relevant, but maybe it makes a difference to you.
The timestamp on the following thread says September 5th, 2013 4.50AM, but I really sent it the evening of September 4th, 2013. No difference anyhow:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5653912#5653912
What was going on in detail:
1
I made a few changes to my argponline_4.muse file on September 4th, 2013.
The published website at that point was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com (D).
The domain name was argponline.com .
(D) was published probably about two months previous, maybe longer ago.
When publishing (D) on September 4th, 2013, the website appeared scrambled.
I tried to publish only modified files, as well as publish the entire site, as well as close programs, and restart the laptop.
I decided to follow the advice given previously, and I published and launched argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
2
At this point I have two bookmarked websites for Adobe Business Catalyst Admin Consoles.
For (D), the Admin Console address was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
For (F), the Admin Console address was argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
I was able to sign into both.
When signed into the Admin Console for (F), I tried to Add a New Domain, but was told that I only had a plan for one hosted website through Adobe Business Catalyst, and that I would need to purchase a plan that offered more hosted websites.
I signed into the Admin Console for (D) and deleted the domain, but given the option to keep associated files just in case, I opted yes, to keep them.
When signed into the Admin Console for (F), I tried to Add a New Domain, but received the following error message:
Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain before re-adding it.
There was nothing visible though the Admin Console for (D) to delete the associated records, so I deleted site (D) in its entirety.
I continued to try to Add a New Domain for (F), but continued to receive the same error Domain already exists...
3
At this point (the morning of September 6th, 2013) we have the following set of parts:
The published and launched site is argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
For (F), the Admin Console address is argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
The website is now completely down, and I have disrupted email service for the office.
I chatted with Lokesh, who determined this was a technical issue, and I was forwarded to Anshul.
Anshul's assessment is as follows:
Anshul: I see the error, Sarah it seems there are some Domain traces left with the system , I tried to clear then out and I am getting errors as well. In this case , we might need to escalate the case to higher level to have deeper investigation related to this issue.
Anshul: Sarah, the issue is the domain not the site. It seems like there are some traces related this domain in the backend. This issue is more of related to BC and not Muse. I will have this issue escalated and checked with the team and request them to run internal queries to clear the traces and then you should be able to add the domain.
4
Soon after I received the following message from Matt Baracz:
Matt Baracz (Adobe Business Catalyst Support)
Sep 06 10:50 (EEST)
Thank you for contacting us.
I have escalated this issue to our engineering team and have requested them to clear any references to the domain argponline.com from our database. Once cleared, you will then be able to re-add the domain successfully to your site.
As soon as I receive a response from engineering confirming that this has been actioned, I will let you know directly via this support ticket.
Regards,
Matt.
Around 3 or 4pm, I had not heard anything back, so I attempted to Add a New Domain through the Admin Console for (F). (Turns out Matt works in Australia, and was unable to alert me due to the time zone difference. Understandable!)
This was done successfully, so the website began to work again, but the email was still down.
5
I began a chat again, this time with Srividya. I was transferred to technical support and began conversation with Sanjit. The length of our conversation was probably around 3 hours, and I am so grateful for the time he put in. What a great guy.
He stated that he had gone through the case details and that Engineering had fixed the issue. We spent some time coordinating the Site Domain information through the Admin Console for (F). Ultimately, email is still not working (settings were probably updated around 5pm), but I understand sometimes it takes a while. Just wanted to note, the last time I updated the email settings it worked within a couple minutes. Varying lengths of time are expected, but I am still curious what effects those variations. Regardless.
6
The current situation is this:
My boss is a bit steamed that our website was down for a day and a half, and that our email is down for a relatively indeterminate amount of time. It's bad for business, and ultimately, I am responsible for these disruptions. I am incredibly concerned that the next time I update our website there will be a slew of problems, which have the potential to knock down service for the website and email again. I am desperate for a surefire way to simply and fluidly update our Adobe Muse website to Adobe Business Catalyst without making the same mistakes again.
I don't believe I did this the right way. I looked at FAQs, Community Forums, goDaddy Support and anything I could lay my eyes on to try to do things properly, but managed to make a few well-intentioned blunders. I continued to try undo the damage I've done in the past couple days, and with utter frustration, have not been able to fix them on my own. The people who have helped me thus far have done an amazing job, but ultimately, I am happier when I am not taking up their time, or panicking here.
When I first launched the website a few months ago, there was a step-by-step process that took me through every single action with screenshots included when appropriate. It was exponentially helpful. I was so lost without it this time around, and I was wondering if I could access it again in the future if needed.
The following is a blurb from my conversation with Sanjit tonight:
Sanjit: You have purchased Muse subscription , correct ?
Sanjit: or Creative cloud >
Sarah Rushing: Yes, we purchased Muse for 1-year, as well as Business Catalyst for 1-year
Sanjit: Perfect
Sanjit: With Muse you get 1 free site , so once you create a site and then publish to BC. In admin console you launch the site, that makes your free count used. Now if you create another site, then system asks you to upgrade the site to a paid site plan. ut when you delete the previous site then the free count becomes free and can be used for any other site
Sarah Rushing: Yes, that is what I did. Is this what I need to do each time? Because I am concerned that the email and website will be disrupted every time I need to make slight adjustments to the website?
Sanjit: No, you dont need to do that everytime. If the site is scrambled everytime you publish then please report to us. Thats not the ideal way for solution.
Sarah Rushing: Well Sanjit, I can tell you right now, that is how it has been functioning since we bought the program. I am not entirely certain, but I believe we bought Muse and BC in January.
Sarah Rushing: I can absolutely guarantee you that the site will inevitably scramble. Am I the only customer you have heard of to have this issue?
Sanjit: Yes, i have not seen any other reports for this issue
Sanjit: Well this needs a deep investigation
Zak, anything that you could offer for clarity of process, would be incredible. I don't know if you will have time to look at this before Monday, but I can tell you I will be available at a moment's notice to fix this issue and to learn anything about Muse and Business Catalyst that you have to offer. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Sarah Rushing
I'm concerned that no one will really read this because it is so detailed and boring and comprehensive, but it is absolutely critical that I find a proper solution before the next update to the website. Thank you so so much to anyone who can possibly provide some insight into this issue.
Sincerely,
Sarah Rushing

In case anyone is experiencing the same issue, I am trying this today.
Sachin: Okay Sarah, so is it everytime you try to republish the website, it gets scrambled?
Sarah: Yes, that is correct. And the solution thus far was to publish to an entirely new site, meaning delete the existing one on Business Catalyst and transfer the domain information.
Sarah: The last time I did that I experience a slew of issues that resulted in no website and email for 4 or more days. My boss was very angry.
Sachin: Sarah, can you publish your site as a new trial site once.
Sachin: And provide me the URL.
Sachin: Then republish on the same trial site and let me check the results.
Sarah: If I updated the published site within the period of a day, it will be fine. It is when I update the next day or later than that, then the website appears scrambled. So I can create a trial site for you, but it will behave normally for now.
Sachin: Sarah, while republishing the site, did you select "Only modified file" or "All files" while publishing?
Sarah: I tried everything.
Sarah: I made a few changes to my argponline_4.muse file on September 4th, 2013. The published website at that point was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com (D). The domain name was argponline.com . (D) was published probably about two months previous, maybe longer ago. When publishing (D) on September 4th, 2013, the website appeared scrambled. I tried to publish only modified files, as well as publish the entire site, as well as close programs, and restart the laptop. I decided to follow the advice given previously, and I published and launched argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
Sachin: Okay. there is one more thing I would like you to try.
Sachin: Publish a site as a trial site.
Sachin: Then wait till tomorrow.
Sachin: After that login to the admin panel of the site.
Sarah: Okay
Sachin: There go to Site Manager>File manager
Sachin: There will be a file there named Muse_manifest.xml
Sachin: Delete that file and then republish the site from Muse.
Sarah: So in the Adobe Admin Console, underneath Site Manager, I see Web Forms and System E-mails. No file manager?
Sachin: Please hover the muse on your name at top right corner and click on My details.
Sarah: Okay, yes.
Sachin: Now scroll down and check the option that says Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)
Sachin: And then click on save.
Sarah: What does this do, and why does it say it is incompatible with Muse?
Sachin: It will help you see other options in BC.
Sarah: Okay, thank you.
Sarah: I see the File Manager now
Sachin: Okay.
Sachin: Now select the file named Muse_manifest.xml
Sachin: And use the delete button on the right side.
Sachin: but do it tomorrow
Sachin: With a trial site
Sachin: Not with the live site.
Sarah: Okay, could you please explain to me what deleting that particular file is supposed to do? I am just very interested in how this works.
Sachin: This file contains the information about your last upload.
Sachin: Deleting it will make sure that "ALL" the files are uploaded again from Muse.
Sarah: Okay, so:
Sarah: I will publish a trial site.
Sarah: Wait until tomorrow.
Sarah: Publish again. If I have an issue, I can log-in to the admin console for this particular trial site and go to Site Manager --> File Manager, and delete muse_manifest.xml.
Sachin: I will create a case for you and you can respond to the case.
Sachin: Correct.
Sarah: After that, I will try publishing again and see if it resolves the issue.
Sarah: That would be great, thank you Sachin.
Sachin: Thank you for contacting us. Have a Good Day!

Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project. I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
Thanks,
digi

Hi Bill Hunt,
I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE. In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
"Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols { } ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
Thanks so much for your article,

How can I import a non-BC site into BC, using Dreamweaver CC, and then use it as one of my free sites?

I am trying to import one of my non-BC sites into BC, using Dreamweaver CC, and then use it as one of my free WebBasics sites.
When I try to create a new BC site in Dreamweaver CC, it creates a BC template site, and I have unsuccessfully tried to update the files on BC - it won't let me connect.
If I import the site from my portal, I don't get the option of a free site - when I try to upgrade, I get the credit card form asking for payment.
I feel like I'm running around in circles with one foot nailed to the floor.
Any tips?

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?
