This is the 4th installment in my blog post series on Adobe Premiere Elements 11 which is based on what I learn doing the video training course on this software by Infinite Skills. If you set up an effect with various settings you can store it as a preset so you can re use it. Simply right click the effect and from the menu select save as a preset. It's stored in the my presets folder and to delete simply select it and press delete. To stretch a piece of video known as time stretch simply right click the footage on the timeline and select time stretch. Select your length and click save. There are various pips or picture in picture effects in effects under presets. If you do this make sure you render it afterwards. To adjust the settings in pips open the motion module. You must insert keyframes at key points although often this is done automatically. Select music and select the piece you want onto an audio timeline usually soundtrack. If you click transitions/ dissolve and say how many seconds duration you want you can insert a fade at the end of the video usually. The arrow key above the timeline scrolls up the timeline. The spacebar plays the video. The enter key plays it from the start. Control+k cuts the film at the point the playhead is. The red line is the playhead. Control+z is undo. If you click on effects, then audio effects there are loads of sound effects. The fill from left or right settings are ideal if you have a mono microphone. If you click on the music tab there is a smart sound option and this is a program you can purchase separately in its own right although it is a part of this program. You can choose one of the preset mood settings to suit your video. There is lots of music available with this module. You can change the length of the music by entering a figure in the duration box. There is a smart sound store where you can buy music cheaply. You can preview the music. In tools/ smartmix you can set whether you want sound in the foreground or background and if the latter it automatically inserts a key frame and turns down the sound. I'll try and do another installment a bit later.
