Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

1.

In the Timeline, click the Graphic 2 Start tab to open that sequence.

You could simply slide each clip to the right so they appeared one at a time, but I want you to set specific times so they will appear in time to the music (did you notice how the drum beats match the actor's actions as he opens and closes the invitation?)

2.

Drag the CTI to the 2-second position (you can see its exact time in the readout in the Program Monitor).

3.

Click inside the Layer 3 clip and drag the entire clip (rather than trimming its beginning or end) so its first frame lines up with the CTI line at the 2-second mark. You'll know it's lined up when that black, vertical line appears. Also a little pop-up timecode (highlighted in the next figure) tells you how far you have moved the clip from its original position.

4.

Move the CTI to 4 seconds and drag Layer 4 (you might need to move the video tracks scroll bar to see it) so it starts at the 4-second mark.

Since it (and all other graphics) are 5 seconds long by default, Layer 4 should now end at 9 seconds.

5.

Click and drag the ends of Layers 2 and 3 to line up with the end of Layer 4.

That black, vertical line will appear at the end of the Layer 4 clip at the 9-second point. Reminder: you're ignoring Layer 1 because you're going to delete it later.

In the next step you'll add the Cross Dissolve transition to the beginning of Layers 2 and 3 to have them gradually fade onscreen one after the other.

6.

In the Effects panel, under Video Transitions, twirl down Dissolve and drag Cross Dissolve to the beginning of each of the Layer 2 and 3 clips.

If you want, you can use a different transition such as Slide. Feel free to experiment.

The red box around the Cross Dissolve icon in the Effects panel indicates it is the default transition. You can quickly apply it to any edit between two clips by placing the CTI at that edit point and using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D to add the default transition.

You can set any transition as the default transition simply by clicking on a transition in the Effects panel, opening the fly-out menu and clicking Set Selected As Default Transition. You can also change the Default Transition Time via the same fly-out menu.

1.

Open the Effects panel by clicking its tab.

2.

Open the fly-out menu by clicking the little triangle in the upper right corner of the Effects panel.

3.

Select Import Preset, navigate to the Lesson 2 folder and double-click Lesson 2 Logo Motion.prfpset.

4.

Twirl down the Presets folder to reveal the newly-added Lesson 2 Logo Motion and drag it onto the Layer 4 clip on the Video 4 track of your sequence.

5.

Click the Effect Controls tab, twirl down the Motion effect and open the Timeline View by clicking the chevron in the upper right corner.

6.

Play this sequence. The first two graphics will fade up, one at a time, and the third graphic, the circular logo, will grow and rotate into place. The sequence should play for 9 seconds.
