Re: Project Panel: New Items & Templates

Hi,

Great tutorial!

However, at one point, you suggest to render out a transparent layer with timecode to prevent splicing with the razor tool.

Isn't it just easier to lock the layer you don't want to be affected by the razor tool?

Hi Richard

Thanks for your comment. The answer is yes and no, yes in that you can then keep the whole thing un-tounched without affecting it. But no in that when you actually start cutting bits up in your timeline you don't really want to end up with long stretches of space with the untouched transparent layer at the top and your cut up clips below. By rendering it out, you can cut them both together and move alone to the next one without having to scroll your timeline back and forth.

Either is fine, but I prefer to just render out one copy to use over all footage and cut it with the footage and keep everything tight on the timeline.

Hope this helps
Andrew

RE:Match Non-matching Cameras in Premiere Pro

In this tutorial Andrew Devis demonstrates a relatively new plug-in by RE:Vision Effects called RE:Match and how it can very quickly and accurately deal with the very common problem of non-matching cameras in Premiere Pro. A typical approach to dealing with say a white balance issue would be to apply the fast color corrector and use the white balance picker, but this can be very hit and miss, while RE:Match deals with the whole image using another image or clip as the reference to match too. This very powerful effect can save a great deal of time for an everyday problem and so earn its cost back very quickly as well as giving excellent and fast results. There is another tutorial showing how this effect works in After Effects as there is a slightly different way the two applications deal with reference images.

In this second tutorial on Media Encoder, Andrew Devis shows how to create preset groups for customers to ensure that you always export the same file types and minimize the risk of choosing the wrong presets when outputting multiple different sequences. Andrew also shows how to customize a preset to meet specific needs such as different frame rates or frame sizes etc and save that preset and add it to a preset group for the customer you created it for. Andrew then shows how to quickly select a smaller portion of the sequence so that you can test your output settings on a much smaller section of the sequence you want to export.
