A Creative COW Product Review: Exploring HD in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5
Rick Gerard explored the latest offerings while at NAB 2004 and came away with one of his show favorites, the new HD capabilities found in Premiere Pro 1.5 as seen in systems like 1 Beyond's HD Pro which Rick reports "...uses the latest PC technology in the internal structure to speed up data throughput. It uses the wide 64 bit fast PCI-X bus and unlike consumer computers that have one PCI bus, it has three separate PCI buses. This avoids the limitations of even the fastest PCI-X buses from becoming the data path bottle neck." Focusing on a totally rewritten Premiere Pro which has been optimized to harness all the powers of WindowsXP, has Premiere finally shed its compromised past of trying to be "all things to every OS" in its move to professional editing in HD?

An Adventure in Photogrammetry
Strictly speaking, photogrammetry is the process of measuring and extracting data from photos, but in the film and video world there is a more exciting twist to the idea - if you've seen Panic Room you'll know what I am talking about. Photogrammetry is used to create or replace real-world objects with CGI models - in the case of Panic Room, the camera was able to swoop through banister railings and through the handle of a coffeepot because these objects were created digitally. In this tutorial, Lucas Young gives us a quick example.

Simulating the Bullet-Time Effect in Adobe Premiere
using the Free WinMorph plug-in
In this tutorial, Satish Kumar demonstrates the famous Matrix style Bullet-time effect in Premiere: A man leaps in the air with a gun, fires a shot, and then hovers in the air while the camera moves around him 180 degrees. To create this effect, we have the shot of the man leaping in the air as a video and 6 still shots of him in the air at different angles. We will morph between the still shots using the WinMorph plug-in for Premiere. This morphed video is composited with a moving background giving the 180 degree camera rotation effect.
