Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

1.

Expand the display of the Effect Controls panel until its view is wide enough for the Show/Hide Timeline View chevron () to become active and click that button to open the timeline (depending on your screen size, you might want to put the Effect Controls panel into a floating windowCtrl+drag the drag handle).

2.

Delete the Wave Warp effect and drag Fast Blur In from Presets > Blurs to the Effect Controls panel.

3.

Play the clip to see how this preset works. The clip starts at the maximum blur value and sharpens at the one-second point.

4.

Drag the effect's second keyframe to the right and play the clip now.

It takes longer for the blurred image to sharpen into focus. Keyframes are not permanently affixed. You can change their position without changing their value.

5.

Delete the Fast Blur effect, drag Replicate (Stylize folder) to the Effect Controls panel and twirl down its single disclosure triangle.

6.

Put the CTI at the beginning of the clip (with the Effect Controls panel active, press Home or Page Up).

7.

Click the Lesson 9-3.

8.

Drag the CTI to about the 1-second point.

Locate the 1-second point by looking in the Program Monitor or the Timeline Time Ruler. It's generally not easy to see an exact time in the Effect Controls timeline unless you really widen its viewing area.

9.

Change the Replicate effect's Count parameter to 9 (mid-way between this effect's minimum and maximum values).

10.

Drag the CTI to about the 3-second point.

11.

Click the Add/Remove Keyframe Button (between the two keyframe navigation buttons).

That adds a keyframe with the same value as the previous keyframe. In this way, the effect will not change from the 1-second to the 3-second position.

12.

Go to the end of the clip (press Page Down and then press the Left Arrow key) to display the last frame of the clip.

13.

Change the Count value to 16.

Your Effect Controls panel should look like the next figure.

14.

Play the clip and note how the effect builds to a 9 x 9 grid, holds for two seconds and changes to a 16 x 16 grid at the end.

Now you'll use two methods to change two keyframe values.

15.

Click the Go to Previous Keyframe button twice to move to the second keyframe.

16.

Use the Count slider to change its value to 2. That's one simple way to change a keyframe's value.

17.

Click the Go to Next Keyframe button to move to the third (of four) keyframes.

18.

Hover the cursor over that keyframe's Value Graph button (highlighted in the next figure). When it changes to this tiny Pen Tool cursor (), drag the button as high as it will go to change its value to 16.

This is the other way to change a keyframe's value.

19.

Drag Lesson 9 Text from the Project panel to the sequence after the video clip, position the CTI on it and click on it to display its parameters in the Effect Controls panel.

20.

Drag Radial Blur to that clip or to the Effect Controls panel and apply the following keyframes (use the next figure as a reference):

• Beginning of clip: Amount=30, Center X=0

• Center of clip: Amount=30, Center X=128

• Three-fourths into clip: Amount=1, Center X =64

21.

Play this clip.

If you plan to reuse an effect with keyframes, save it as a preset. To do that, set your keyframes, parameters, and interpolation controls (I cover interpolation in Lesson 9-3), click the effect name in the Effect Controls panel, open the Fly-out Menu, select Save Preset, give it a name, note whether to scale it to the clip length or anchor it to the clip In- or Out-Point, then click OK. It'll show up in the Presets folder.

1.

Open the Effects panel's Fly-out Menu, select Lesson 9 presets one at a time.Lesson 9 Radial Blur to the Effect Controls panel and twirl down all its disclosure triangles. The Effect Controls panel should look like the following figure.

Lesson 9 Radial Blur and drag the three other Lesson 9 Presets (in this order)Motion, Camera View, and Lens Flareto the Effect Controls panel.

Clip-based (non-fixed) Video Effects work from bottom to top in the Effect Controls panel with the newest applied effect appearing at the bottom of the effect list. For example, if you apply the Tint effect and then apply Black & White, the clip will display as grayscale. Black & White trumps Tint because it appears below Tint in the Effect Controls panel effect list. If you apply Black & White first then apply Tint, the clip will have the color you select in the Tint effect. Opacity and Motion, which are fixed effects, are always the final two effects appliedeven when, in this case, you used a Motion preset and applied it first. If you want Motion to be applied in a different order then use a clip-based motion effect like Camera View, Transform or Basic 3D. You can drag effects up and down within the Effect Controls panel to change their order.

6.

Twirl down all the disclosure triangles that have the Toggle Animation stopwatch turned on (including Position in the Motion fixed effect).

If you see a sweep hand in the stopwatch, keyframes have been switched on. There are too many keyframed parameters in this combination of effects to see them all in a single screen without scrolling through them, but the middle of your Effect Controls panel should look like the following figure (I sliced it in two to fit better on this page).

7.

Play this effect-combo.

My goal when I put together these effects was to move the clip through 3-D space and move a lens flare across it. For a Lens Flare to look realistic, there needs to be movement (either camera movement or clip motion).

8.

Make as many changes as you want. Experiment, deconstruct, delete and start all over. The purpose is to become comfortable with adding, moving, changing, and deleting keyframes.

9.

Delete all the effects, either one at a time or click the Effect Controls panel's Fly-out Menu and select Delete All Effects from Clip.

That does not delete Motion nor change its parameters.

10.

Click the Motion > Position Toggle Animation button to remove all keyframes and click Motion's Reset button to return the Motion parameters to their default values.
