Subtitles of the Movie

Most projects at some point benefit from modifications that are categorized in the Premiere Pro documentation as effects, I introduced you to video and audio effects when I covered audio and video transitions earlier. Effects can add special visual or audio characteristics or provide unusual features or attributes to your sequences. Let me go ahead and apply some video effects to the clips here on my timeline to demonstrate some of these special attributes and characteristics. Let's go into the distort bin and drag and drop a bend effect on this clip. Notice that it creates this distorted look, I can modify the properties of these effects by choosing window, effect, controls, notice that in addition to these motion opacity and time remapping effects that are already built into this clip. I've got this bend effect and now I can modify the horizontal and vertical attributes or properties of this effect. Let's now go ahead and go to the stylized bin and let's add a emboss effect to the next clip and notice again here in the effects controls I now have an embossed setting where I can modify the direction and relief, contrast and blend width features. Let's add another one, let's go down to transform and add a camera view effect to the next clip. Open it up here in the effect controls panel and let's modify the longitude of the clip, the latitude, the roll, see that I can really get some interesting effects here by changing the various properties of the effects, distance, the zoom, so in short, you can add effects such as rotating or animating clips, adjusting clips sizes and position, distorting the images, manipulating sound and much, much more. Premiere effects come in two categories, classified by how their applied, fixed effects and standard effects. Standard effects generally effect a clips image quality and appearance while fixed effects adjust the clips position, scale and movement. Let me start off with fixed effects, these refer to effects that are inherent to a clip when you add a clip to the timeline window it contains fixed or pre-applied effects built into it. In other words you don't have to add these effects to the clips. So if I go back to here to the first clip in the sequence let's go ahead and click on that first clip, notice that I have three effects that are already there. I didn't add these, motion, opacity, and time remapping. If I open up the opacity you can see that this will adjust the opacity of that clips, in other words all clips have these three fixed effects, pre-built into them. In other words you can always change the opacity or the motion of your clips. The fixed effects that are inherent to every clip include motion effects, opacity effects and volume. I don't have an audio file here so the volume isn't showing on the effects controls panel here. Let's go ahead and open up my project panel, and I'll have an audio file here. Let's drag and drop that on the timeline and let's expand this so I can see it better. Notice that there is my click on the audio file and there's my volume effect, where I can adjust the level. I can also adjust the level by clicking and dragging this yellow line, a more visual way of adjusting the volume, but notice as I adjust the location of the line my level here in the effect controls changes, so it started off at 60 b, now it's at negative 14. In contrast to fixed effects the standard effects must be applied to a clip to create a desired result usually through the use of additional plug-ins. When you add those plug-ins to Premiere Pro CS3 you'll have additional options here in the effects panel and again to apply these you would simply drag and drop them onto a clip in the timeline and then adjust the various properties here in the effects control panel. You'll notice that not always will the effects give you the results that you want, a little bit unpredictable, let's go ahead and apply another standard effect to the Saline car 02 clip here. Let's move the current time indicator there so I can see the effects of that edition. Let's go down to stylize and let's do a posterized and now let's add an additional effect, I can add more then one effect to a clip, let's add a lens distortion to that clip, notice that both of them now are here in the effects controls and I can adjust the properties of those effects. Notice also that I have a red line that appears above my timeline, that indicates that really to see the full features of that effect I need to render the sequence and you would that here in the main menu under sequence render work area. Premiere Pro CS3 will then proceed to render my 6 videos previews and as it renders this red line will change to green, notice that, that one now is green, that one has been rendered. Up here in the program view you'll get a preview of what the effect will look like but it's probably best once you've finalized your effects to go ahead and render the sequence so you can really see in detail the results of your effect editions to the clips. Again notice that the green bar grows as more and more of the sequence is rendered and you have also some data here on rendering frames and estimated time left. Once it's done Premiere then goes through and plays back the sequence with all of the effects rendered that you've added. So there you have the rendering of both the standard effects and the fixed effects and now notice that the render bar is now entirely green. Let me now move on to the next movie and talk about exporting options and settings after assembling, editing, and adding titles, transitions and effects to your sequences your finally ready to export the finished video.So let me give you an overview of this export process.
