How Do You Transfer An Adobe Premiere Pro Project Over To Final Cut Pro?

admin    Adobe Premiere     Adobe, Final, Over, Premiere, Project, Transfer

I have the latest version of both softwares, started out on Adobe Premiere Pro, realized I wanted to use Final Cut. Is there any way to transfer the timeline over?
I don’t have any crazy effects or anything, just trimmed a bunch of clips and ordered them in the correct sequence. Hoping to find a time effective way to transfer it over if it’s possible rather than sit there and try and nail every shot like it is in Premiere.
Thanks!

How To Make A Sound In Adobe Premiere Sound Like It Was From A Different Room?

admin    Adobe Premiere     Adobe, Different, from, Like, Premiere, Room, Sound

I am making a movie for my English class, and i was wondering how, in Adobe Premiere, you could make the sound of someone talking sound like it was coming from inside an asylum cell. Personally I’ve never been to an Asylum, and neither have any of my classmates (hopefully lol) so it doesn’t have to be perfect, I just would like it to sound a little more realistic.

Dvd Editing and Authoring – a How-to Guide

admin    Adobe Premiere     Editing

Whether you’re a big time video producer, or if you’re just a normal person videotaping your child’s first birthday. You’re going to need to get that video footage off of the camera, edit it, and then put it onto a disc for future viewing. You might just want to run off a couple copies from your home computer, or you might be getting your DVD footage ready to be duplicated by a large duplication house. Either way, and every way in between, you’re going to need to follow the same couple of steps. If you are a regular, semi-computer literate person, this task may seem very daunting. Let me tell you, it’s not rocket science, and if you follow this guide it’ll be easy as pie. There are really only 3 to 4 steps in the process, and today I’m going to break it down for you today.

1.Capturing Your Video and Audio
This process will vary depending on what type of software you are using to capture to. I usually just use the Windows Movie Maker that comes with Windows XP Home Edition. After you have recorded your video, plug the camera into your computer. (Your digital video camera will come with a USB or S-Video cord that you can connect to your computer.) You computer should recognize that a new piece of hardware has been attached to it. When you open Windows Movie Maker, there is a button labeled “Capture from video device”. Click that button and follow the instructions, it’s really a snap. If you are using another type of software, just look for the option labeled “capture”, that’s the process of taking video from an outside source and placing it onto your hard drive as a digital video file.

2.Editing Your Video and Audio
Once you get your video and audio footage onto your computer’s hard drive, there are many different programs to use to edit and output your video. The most simple program PC users have access to is Windows Movie Maker, which we discussed in the previous step regarding video and audio capturing. This program is both free and easy to use, yet it is probably the least flexible. This doesn’t mean anything to the novice video editor, but will limit the more advanced users. If you are more advanced, I suggest checking out Adobe Premiere. I have used the program myself, and absolutely love it. Regardless of what program you use to edit your video, the process will be basically similar. You will be able to chop up and rearrange your video, add music or narration, and ultimately output it as an .avi file. You will want to output it as the most high quality .avi that you can. If you were preparing video to share over the web, or to burn to a CD to view on another computer, this would be your last step. But since we’re ultimately trying to get our video onto a DVD for viewing on a DVD player, we’ll need to complete another couple steps.

3.Encoding Your Video and Audio
This is one of the most important steps in the process, as it determines the quality and format of your DVD video footage. There are many different 3rd party applications that are used just for encoding, but some of the more high-end video editing programs like Adobe Premiere have encoding tools embedded in them. Regardless of what tool you use to encode, you’re going to need to end up with a high quality MPEG2 file, which is the format that will play on a DVD in a home DVD player.

4.Authoring Your DVD
DVD authoring is the process of adding a title screen, chapter markers, and other assorted features that you’ve probably experienced in watching professionally made DVD movies. You’re going to need a 3rd party application to author your DVD, and there are many to choose from. One of the more high-end applications is Adobe Encore, which is easy for a novice to use, and also has many advanced features that the more experienced DVD author will appreciate. Some of these programs come with templates, ready to use. I suggest that first-timers look for a program that offers this feature.

After you author your DVD, you’re ready to burn it to disc. If you completed all the steps correctly, you should be able to pop your DVD in your home player and watch away. Beware that some older DVDs do not play burned DVDs very well, so if you have an older one and your disc doesn’t play, it doesn’t mean that you did anything incorrectly. All in all, I understand that this is definitely not full instructions on how to author a DVD. I hope that this has at least shed a little light on the subject, and that you come away from this with a better understanding of how it’s done.

Really useful websites to help you grow your online internet business

admin    Adobe Premiere     Business, Grow, Help, Internet, Online, Really, useful, Websites

 Hi there,i run an online business and love the internet for many different purposes:watching a good film for free,website creation and much more.I also enjoy sharing knowledge with people because it can only make life more fun for them.I am an associate of MyInternetBusiness.com and am a full time internet marketer.I used to be a documentary maker and film editor.If you enjoy the information below please check out my site at www.whosalexhall.com for loads of more info on online business oppurtunities and creation.Thanks for reading.

 Google:

Yes you might laugh at its simplicity,yet there is so much more to google than you think!Aswell as being the worlds best search engine,it’s also the best place to have your email,Google has just bought YouTube which ofcourse is a great video upload site.Google is also the founder of Adwords,which is the most popular form of PPC (pay per click )advertising.If you are not familiar with this;- it’s those little box adverts which you see on nearly every google search page.Generally some companies and solo affiliate marketers pay Google for the advertising space,and then hopefully they make some money through affiliate sales.It costs only 5 dollars to set up your Adwords account,you then chose your keywords and advertise virtually anywhere in the world.More on this later.Google also hosts Google Earth a satellite function which allows you to zoom in on buildings,perhaps even your own home!Google also translates pages for you,offers a scholarly info and a lot lot more.

Video Upload Sites:-

There are so many!Allyou have to do these days is ‘Google’ the term ‘list of video upload sites’, here’s a list of just a few,remember this list will always grow with time.

YouTube/YahooVideo/Myspace/MSN video/Metacafe/Revver/AOL/Break/Dailymotion/Blip/Veoh/Crackle/Imeem/Stupidvideos/Sclipo/Viddler/Howcast/5min/Vimeo/Kewego/Myvideotalk.

There’s a handy site called Tubemogul and another called TrafficGeyser; which both allow you to upload one video and that one video is then uploaded automatically to multiple sites,so you only have to upload once.Bare in mind you may have to register with some of the other sites listed first.Remember most video sites have their own file size and upload requirements,including lenght and format,if you are not sure of this you can usually find the answer in the help section usually at the top of the browser.

Online free film sites:-

Im a big lover of films and documentaries(I used to make documentaries).There’s an awesome site called www.watch-movies-links.net.It’s the best site out there for watching free online films.Click on any film you want to watchand try to choose a file with the highest percentage.The percentage rate refers to the quality of the film not popularity.Bare in mind some of the japanese and chinese files can be slow to load.Megavideo is usually the best link provider:though it only gives you an allowance of 72 mins per viewing,which can be very annoying as it’s often before the end of a film.Allyou do in this case is keep closing and opening the same file and it should bring the wait time down to about 20 mins.Ther’s lots of different genres.THere are other sites but this one beats the others easily.

File Sharing Sites:-

There are such sites as Piratebay.org,however,i am not encouraging people to use these sites as laws on them are on fickle ground at the moment.It is the best file sharing site in the world that is all i will say!!

There’s a lovely site called Vuse(formerly Azeurus)where you can download films,music etc.It has a really nice clean look to the site.Just be aware that if you do chose to download files,some may be trial versions only,some may be in a foreign language,and ofcourse some may contain bugs,worms,or trojan viruses.These are file sharing systems known as peer to peer (or P2P),essentially you have one or more people with files on a film for example and they send fragments of that film to the person seeking it on another computer and that person is then able to build up the film file slowly and hopefully end up with the entire film.There’s a site called Graboid which one of those sites which gives you something but is also trying to get something out of you to subscribe.However it does allow you to download two films per month for absolutely free,and the quality is awesome.I downloaded a film off it once and the quality was dvd quality,i was impressed.

Website building Companies/Sites:-

You can go out and buy programs such as Dreamweaver which will cost you money,but they will also demand that you need a thorough understanding of how to use them which takes time.So the following information is about free website building tools.I would recommend you take a look at KompoZer(formerly NVU) Frontpage/Blinkweb/Synthasite/90-second website builder.

I personally use Blinkweb for my own site.www.whosalexhall.com.I would definately recommend it.What is so cool about Blinkweb is it allows you to drag-and-drop your titles,text,widgets,video,photos and more from a panel on the left of the page straight onto your page so you really really can build a site fast.Also it offers you a menu with 100 layouts to choose from,catering for different subjects like photography,business,cars etc.

Web Hosting services:-

I also use Namecheap.com to host some of my other sites and it only cost me 10 dollars a year per site to host these accounts which is very good.I believe GoDaddy is cheap aswell.There are lots of other hosting companies you can just google for a list-however always check contract terms:-i.e.if there’s a charge for transferring a domain to another site (your website for example) or if you might have to pay to finish a contract early.

Forms of Marketing-PPC:-

PPC stands for Pay-Per-Click and can be a very effective form of marketing if you know what you are doing.Warning! if you do not have experience of PPC there’s a large learning curve.At the same time i am not discouraging anyone.There are some legends out there in the ppc world or affiliate marketing world such as Chris Carpenter, a very bright Californian man who wrote the Google Cash program/book.I own the latest edition of this book,which i bought on the internet:-it’s a very wise book which explains how to try to become a master at google adwords/yahoo advertising and content advertising.

I am also a member of PPC Classroom,which i pay about 60 dollars for each month,this is a very new online ppc training classroom:it’s the best out there:particularly if you are learning from scratch how to run google adwords campaigns.

Also you should check out Perry Marshall,Brad Callen,The Super Affiliate Handbook,and GoogleShadow (an Englisg guy who essentially has teamed up with Chris Carpenter to create an amazing program to beat others at adwords.If you look at Perry Marshall+Brad Callens site you will probably be able to get some free PDF file downloads on SEO(search engine optimization) and fast tips for adwords.I know i did!I have an artillery of free pdf downloads which i got from Perry Marshall and the rest!Often to do this you need to put your email and name in the box on their page and they then send you emails with links to downloads.It is worth setting up another email for them however as you are most likely to be bombarded with emails!

PLEASE remember! If you get involved in ppc marketing do not blow too much money! Google adwords does allow you to monitor and set limits to an advertising budget on a campaign:-infact the people who are best at ppc are rewarded by paying less for their advertising because they are getting a higher quality score with google.It is possible to get good at adwords but it is a different world altogether in its own respect.Adwords adverts (campaigns) require careful planning,combination of the right keywords,and a lot more to be successful,including spy tools,wordtracker and more.

Blogging:-

Blogging is a bit like having a simplified one page website only it’s amongst other blogs within a kind of forum/blogging site.

You have Hubpages/Squidoo/WritingUp/BloggerParty/BlogFeast/BlogEvolve.There are actually hundreds and hundreds of blogging sites now so what i would recommend is just type in ‘directory of great blog sites’ into google search and you will certainly find a list of blog sites!Hubpages and Squidoo are certainly two of the most recognised and they integrate well within the google search engine.

Social Networking Sites:-

Facebook/Myspace/twitter/Orkut/43 Things/Book Crossing/Couch surfing/del.icio.us/deviantart/Digg/Dopplr/Flickr/Furl/Lastfm/Librarything/Linkdin/Livejournal/Ma.Gnolia/Metachat/MonkeyFilter/MyGamercard/Pandorradio/paperbackswap/picasa/reddit.co./runner+/slashdot/Sportsfilter/steam/stumbleupon/tribe/videosift/vox/we.endure.wikipedia.

That’s just a few!Again these days you can just ‘googl’anything so if you are looking for more just ask google!Also remember some of these sites allow you to add videos,photos,or music to them,some of which can be incorporated with Youtube videos.Some of these sites such as Facebook also offer advertising (though it’s not free for a placement ad).

Article writing/Article sites:-

Article sites allow you to place a written article on virtually any subject within an article site.It could be a very serious political article or something trivial depending on the subject matter and author.The most widely recognised article sites are Ezine Articles/ArtilesBase/and Buzzle.However again there are hundreds of siteswhich you can find by doing a google search.There are also article distribution services such as SubmitYourArticle and uniquearticlewizard.These sites will often allow you to send the same article to many other sites.However there may be a charge for these services.

One of the greatest things about these sites ofcourse is they allow you to place a link to your website or landong page so you can get free traffic to your site.This ofcourse is one of the best ways to get free traffic.

Skype:-

I love Skype! Skype is a free download to pc or macintosh computers.You just need to buy a headset(headphones with a mouthpiece microphone attached),plug it into the headphone socket of your computer.Then if another person also has Skype you can talk to them like a telephone service for NOTHING on your computers via the internet.(so you must be connected to the internet for a call obviously).

However if someone does not have skype on the recieving end you will have ot buy credits up front to pay for the call,yet it is still cheaper than most calls to a landline within that country.

Additionally Skype offers video calls -so if you have a webcamera hooked up to your computer you can film yourself whilst talking and even take stills of the call!It does not matter if the recieving person does not have a webcamera linked up too,you are still able to show your face as the caller!

Roboform:-

You can download for free a program called Roboform and this basically is an automatic system which keeps all your log-in and passwords in a memory vault so you will not neccessarily have to type them in every time you log into an account.

Zip/Rar Files:-

These are really useful systems which compress information to make it smaller and thus save space ultimately on your computer hard drive.There are many different types;WinZip/7Zip and many more.With many of these you can get a free trial (usually 30 days or more) before they ask you to buy the product.I personally use RAR which is a German produced file system and am very happy with it.One key factor is that whichever file compressor you use you nedd to use one which will be compatible with a few other different file formats.Some companies offer more compatibility than others.I paid about 30 dollars for my RAR file system and it works great with many different files types for me on a windows Vista.For example it allows me to compress 200 e-books which i now have on a cd-rom thanks to the compression possibility.

Some basics:-

Try to make sure you have some basic programs installed on your computer such as ADobe Acrobat Reader which allows you to open and read PDF downloaded documents off the internet.For example most free e-book downloads/reports come as a pdf file for instant download so you should have this already.If you don’t you can just go to the Adobe homepage and you should be able to download it for free.As for many programs a company will often offer a  trial version of a program for free.

More expensive programs such as Dreamweaver (advanced webdesign) will not be free though.I know a lot of people willl know this already however i am trying to keep the complete newbies in mind.

As for computer security/anti-virus software I would recommend Kaspersky.I used to use Norton for a while until i heard from a serious computer tecchie friend of mine that it’s not the best.McAfee is good aswell.Just remember some computer stores may offer you free computer anti-virus software when you buy a pc from them,yet it will not neccessarily be the best,and do not neccessarily believe verything you are told in a shop!Sometimes staff may be a little naive themselves and/or just chasing a commission by selling something to you.It is good to test everything! Always ask questions,and as many as you like!

You can get free anti-virus software instantly downloaded from the net such as AVG:however as i said i would personally recommend Kaspersky: and don’t forget if you are going to be plugged into the internet you must have a reliable anti-virus/firewall protection set up on your computer otherwise you are asking for trouble after a while.

Did you know that some sites have tracking cookies? A tracking cookie is when a company’s site plants a small piece of text in your web browser.Some tracking cookies can have a life of 3 or 4 months,some longer.They allow a companyies website to track and analyze user data, i.e.how often someone might visit their site,and what they might buy.Cookies are neither maliscious or spyware,but they may slow down or affect a users web browser.

So when you have a program like Kaspersky,Norton 360 etc, do try to learn a little about what you can use,how to use it and the difference between switching some functions on and off.Another reason why i mention this is because sometimes you may not be able to visit/open a site webpage if certain security program settings are switched on. 

I would also definately recommend running atleast the quick scan function on your computer at the end or beginning of each day.Last week Sky News reported a bug on Twitter (the social networking site) and in other words this could have affected the computers of thousands of people.These are reasons for looking after your pc or mac.

Video Programs:-

At some stage if you decide to become a member of myinternetbusiness.com you may want to produce your own videos for YouTube for example.I am an experienced Final Cut Pro Video editor(as this used to be my profession).Years ago i used to hate computers,though it was only through video editing that i learnt to appreciate how useful they are.

The good news is you do not have to be clever,or experienced to make a semi-decent video for YouTube,yahoo.revver,or wherever you decide to publish to.All you need is either a good quality web-camera,a digital camcorder,or even a digital stills camera with an mpeg video capture card in it.Ofcourse if you use a webcamera you will need to be near your computer as the cables usually aren’t very long.If you have a camcorder you can ofcourse record video outdoors and return to your computer for editing later.If you are using a mini-dv camcorder you will need either a firewire cable or an av cable.

I would use a firewire cable if appropriate to the equipment though because the quaility will be so much better.Remember pc and macintosh AND the cameras can have different connections and cable types.You may also need a video card in your computer if there’s not one already.

If you have a macintosh computer,most come with the basic imovie( high definition) software,which actually is very very good for what it is.On a pc with windows you should get a very basic video editing program called windows movie maker.I don’t use it but i do know that it can provide the basics of assemble editing.If you wish to become really good at video editing i recommend avid,finalcutpro,or adobe premiere.

However it will,if you are new to serious video editing,take you a while to get good at these programs if you are starting from scratch.As i said the imovie program on the mac is perfect for beginners.There are numerous other cheap video editing software tools out there if you don’t want to spend that much money.You have adobe premiere elements/corel video studio pro x2/roxio creator 2009/ uleadvideostudio 11 plus.These are some of the cheapest which you may find in a store.

There are also great dvd making programs by Roxio,Nero,Sonic, and idvd for mac.If you want to get more serious with dvd creatiion on a macintosh there’s dvd studio pro.Also remember that there are lots of great videos on YouTube which you can watch and learn how to use various programs.

Publishing a video to YouTube:-

When you feel happy wiath an edited video and want to upload it to say Youtube for example:first you will need to open up a free account with Youtube.You can only upload videos which are no longer than 10 mins and 1gigabyte in size.There are also recommended resloution sizes which are 640X480 and a frame rate generally of 30 frames per second to get the best results.

If you are new to all of this do not be freaked out! All you have to do is click on the help section in your web browser help page to find the exact results you are looking for to upload your video correctly.Most public video upload sites such as youtube are just recently cracking down on copyrighted music.It is not likely that you will be sued!However they may well remove your video abruptly if you use music which is obviously not your own!

Remember nearly every video site only allows a limit of ten minutes for a video and a lot of these sites have different file size requirements -so check these files first before exporting a file from a video program for the net!

When you are filling in a description of your video don’t forget to add tags to it and tags which are relevant.This will help others to find your video more easily.

Jing:-

Jing is madly clever! You can download jing for free,it then places a bubble at the top or bottom of your computer screen (they call it a sun).If you move your mouse cursor onto the sun,3 rays snap out of it,each one with a different function:capture,history and more.Now if you click on capture a large cross hair appears on your desktop which you can then move around on your desktop screen.Jing is designed to allow you to capture video or an image form your desktop!The image will be exactly the same as it appears on your desktop except you can crop the image also.It is very very cool and clever.I believe Camstasia is the superseeded version of this product.I know a lot of webinars,and the best leaders in the internet marketing world use this to produce direct training videos off their pc screen to an audience.Such a simple yet brilliant idea.It also allows you after a capture to send your video or picture to someone else via email,the web or save to your hard drive.

I’ve spent about 3or 4 hrs typing this today so will updtae articles later!-all the best Alex Hall
