Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Part E

This is the 5th installment in my blog post series on Adobe Premiere Elements 11 which is based on what I have learnt doing the video training course by Infinite Skills on this software. To delete highlight it on the timeline and press the backspace key. The red line that some refer to as the playback and plays stuff in real time is called the CTI or current time indicator. If you click on tools/ time remapping it can slow down or speed up your video. If you click on tools/ time stretch it does a similar but doesn't offer the same amount of control. If you click on tools/ pan and zoom it moves in and out of a scene and to adjust where it moves there is a box you drag and drop. You can also resize the box to adjust magnification. Click create output when you are finished. There are something called markers which essentially mark a position in your film so you can find it easily. There are beat markers that mark a position in your soundtrack and another beats timeline opens when you use this. Video will adapt to fit the available space when used in conjunction with this. There are menu markers that mark a position for the menu and interlocked content in DVD production. You can right click the video and choose marker from the menu and then in, out, next numbered etc. Next numbered is used when there are several markers and puts them in order. Don't use more than 2 types of transition. You should at most have one type for the credits and one type for use during the actual film. You can taper music with transitions which are found in transition/ dissolve. There are also used at the end of the film. One trick professionals is having a white color matte at the beginning and end of the film. The shift key can be used in conjunction with the timeline to make it lock to points. If you go into Elements Organizer and select a video and click view details it gives you the properties for that video. If you have to adjust the counter in the settings for something clicking the shift key increases the individual increments speeding it up. There is only one more installment in this series to go.
