Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

1.

Open the Lesson 18 Start sequence.

It has three videos. The first two are MPEG videos and the third is a collection of behind-the-scenes photos of this music video (see

Assets by Steam below).

Assets by Steam

Most of the assets you've worked with in this book were created by Steam, a two-man production company based in Los Angeles (www.steamshow.com). Its co-owners, Scott Bryant and Tony Molenda, have degrees in graphic design and cinematography respectively and have worked with ABC TV, Mattel, Aaron Spelling and Sony Pictures.

They shot the video you've been working on using an HD camera recording at 24 frames per second. They used After Effects to convert the 1920x1080 HD video to DV.

2.

Move the CTI to the end of the first video (1;58;12 or use Page Down).

3.

Click the Set DVD Marker button (highlighted in the previous figure).

That opens the DVD Marker dialog box.

4.

Select Stop Marker from the Marker Type drop-down list and click OK to close the dialog box.

5.

Move to the first frame of the second video.

Click the Set DVD Marker button, select Main Menu Marker and click OK.

6.

Add a Stop Marker for the second clip and a Main Menu Marker and Stop Marker for the third video.

Your Timeline Time Ruler will have six markers: one with a blue triangle for the first Main Menu marker, two with green triangles for subsequent Main Menu Markers, and three with red triangles for Stop Markers.

Before adding Scene Markers you need to move the Main Menu Marker for the second video. This is part of the work-around I mentioned so you can have separate scene selection menus for each video. You need to move it out of the way so you can set a Scene Marker at the beginning of the video (you can't have two markers in the same locale).

7.

Move the CTI to about 20 frames before the second video (you'll need to Zoom In the Timeline view to do this).

8.

As shown in the next figure, slide the Main Menu marker to the CTI (it will snap to the CTI edit line).

Now you'll add Scene Markers, starting with the first video.

9.

Move the CTI to about 46 seconds (where the main dancer is just about to jump through the mirror).

10.

Click the Set DVD Marker button (note that the default Marker Type is Scene Marker, which is what you want to set in this case).

11.

Type

Drummer in the Name text box.

12.

Check the Motion Menu Button checkbox and change the Thumbnail Offset timecode to 3;02.

That sets the first frame for the Motion Menu Button. The offset time is how far the first frame of the motion menu button is from the DVD marker frame. You'll set the button's motion duration to 5 seconds when you work in the menu template.

13.

Click OK.

14.

Add Scene Markers at the following timecodes.

In each case check the Motion Menu Button checkbox and change the Thumbnail Offset timecode:

• 1;02;00Name this Scene Marker

  Model , set the Thumbnail Offset timecode to 6;00 and check Motion Menu Button.

• 1;22;15

  DJ , Thumbnail Offset timecode: 1;20.

• 2;17;05

  1^st

  Dancer , 8;20.

• 2;51;15

  2^nd

  Dancer , 5;00.

• 3;20;11

  3^rd

  Dancer , 4;00.

You can automatically add DVD Markers but you're not likely to use this feature because of the limitations I list below. Select Marker > Auto Generate DVD Markers and note you have three options: at each clip, at a specified interval (in minutes), or at an interval determined by the number of markers you specify. This method has several limitations: the clips should be on the Video 1 track, there should be no composited clips, and it does not name Scene Markers.

15.

Double-click on any Scene Marker icon in the Time Ruler and note that this opens the DVD Marker dialog box, letting you change its parameters.
