Subtitles of the Movie

Sometimes when you shoot raw footage that you want to bring into Premiere, the footage contains sanctions that you want to use but also include large sections that have no validity in your finished film. Well, using In and Out Points solves this, but if you want to use the whole clip but indicate certain points to synchronize other elements to it then Premiere Pro provides a method for this, too. For example here in Premiere Pro I shot this section across Lymm Dam one gray, misty morning. The intention was to use it to establish atmosphere, or unestablishing atmosphere in the next section by the way, but when I transferred the raw footage to my PC for assembling I noticed that through the mist a bird of some sort - I'm not good on ornithology by the way, I bet you know what type of bird it is - anyway, this Lesser Spotted Mist Flier, I believe it's called, flew toward the camera across the Dam and out of shot. Alright, let me load it into the Source Monitor to see what I mean. I'll drag the CTI to where it emerges from the mist. What I want to do is have a way to indicate that the Lesser Spotted Mist Flier, appears at a certain frame and using markers allows this. First, though, I'll show you how using Marker differs from setting In and Out Points. By clicking these buttons, the In and Out buttons and then dragging to the Timeline, I only get exactly this section. I'll just remove it for now because this isn't really what I want. I want the whole section. What I want to do is use the whole clip. Let's have a visible indication so I can match the required frame to music or sound effects, for example, of a suitable effected sound, i.e., when the bird appears through the mist this Lesser Spotted Mist Flier, then maybe we could have a sound effect there of a bird sound, whatever sort of sound this Lesser Spotted Mist Flier would make, so with the frame established as the start of the bird's visibility I can add a Marker to the clip. I can do this in a couple of ways, as always seems to be the case with Premiere and most Adobe products to be honest. The first way is to go to Marker up here, naturally enough and then going to Set Clip Marker. Then down to Other Numbered at the bottom here. The default number that comes up is zero which I find confusing, so I always change this to 1, but you can leave it at zero. It really doesn't make any difference. Then just click OK. Well, you might ask, where's the Marker you've been banging on about Struthers? Ah, you need to move your CTI over to see it because it's obscured by it. Here it is. This sort of little gray triangle. Right, that pins a Marker to this clip. OK, here's the other way of adding a Marker. I'll drag my CTI to a suitable frame, another one, then by clicking this triangle it looks like a larger version of the Marker we just placed on the Timeline here. So now when I drag the clip to the Timeline I get the required full clip as opposed to a shortened version by setting In and Out Points, with my Clip Markers indicated on the Timeline so that it allows me to easily line up music or sound effects or narration as I said earlier. So, with this short sound effects audio file I can quickly drag it to the main Timeline and position it accurately. I love it! Hopefully then you can see the difference and advantages of using Markers at initial clip level in contrast to setting In and Out Points. OK, this has now introduced how to establish atmosphere, so we'll mov to this Chapter next.
