Re: Using & Creating Title Templates
by Andrew Devis

Hi Raymundo, I don't really know why it is happening, but you could try a couple of things. Firstly, check for any updates and make sure you have the latest version. Secondly, open your project, reset your work space, save your project and shut down PP. PP should remember the last saved state and should open properly after that. If not, I think you may need to contact technical support. Hope this helps. Andrew

Andrew, I am having issues with my titles when I create them. Whenever I create a new title it opens up with the title area minimized. If I close the title and reset the workspace the next title will come up with the title area in view. Any thoughts on what may be causing this?

Andrew, I'm working on a project in NTSC. When I create a new title, it comes out very pixelated. I thought it was the preview but when I exported it to a Quicktime file, it was still pixelated. To me, this should have been the easiest part of the project. Any thoughts?

Hi Jamie

Sorry to hear you're having problems. To be honest with you I can't think of a reason why you should have this problems except that either it is a font issue or that the title is very small and being scaled up significantly.. Try using some of the title styles on the title to see if you still get the same problem with different styles. If so, you may need to talk to techincal support.

hope this helps

Andrew, I am new to Adobe CS5 (actually all video software) and as a beginner I really appreciate your tutorials. This is the second one I have seen - after bin structure - and they are quite helpful. Thank you. Dave

How Premiere Pro Will Change the Way You Work

As we enter an age where our raw footage is either so compressed that recompression for an online edit seems like a very silly option, or so beautifully flexible that we shouldn’t be binding it with the permanence many budgets and minds associate with a transcode to ProRes, the stage is being set for raw workflows based in metadata. This is where Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 shines.

In this colour correction tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to use the tools in After Effects both to get excellent colour matching result in After Effects and also to provide information that can be copied into Premiere Pro to more quickly and intuitively achieve better colour matching in Premiere Pro than can easily be achieved with the present set of tool in Premiere Pro (recorded with CS5.5). Andrew shows how to use both the right tool and specific colour channel views to visually match the channels to achieve the best results quickly and effectively. Use this to match footage from different cameras as well as matching elements to be composited into your composition so that they look as if they really belong together.

Premiere Pro: Matching Cameras
Play Video
In this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows one approach to matching footage from different cameras. Sometimes, as editors, we receive footage from our clients that is from different cameras which may not have been set up in the same way. This can lead to a jarring effect when viewing the footage back as you switch between cameras which can distract your audience - a very big foe-par! But, matching cameras can be a difficult and frustrating process. While the solution Andrew demonstrates isn't instantaneous and will require time to master, once mastered, it will enable you to quickly and effectively solve problems to (at the very least) ensure your audience isn't distracted when you switch cameras.
