DVP12b Quiz 8

Titling

1. To create a simple title in Premiere Pro, you must first go into the 'titles' tab at the top of the window. Click create new title. A new, smaller window will pop up on your screen, where you can create the title you want, using different fonts, colors, sizes etc. to create what you need. After completing this you can pace your title anywhere along your sequence, as well as edit or animate it.

2. To add movement to the title you just created, you can go into the effects window (whilst your title is highlighted so you can work on it,) and add key frames wherever you want the movement to be. You can then adjust the position and scale, dragging the numbers backward or forwards to move the title around.

Staying in the effects window, you can fade in or out your titles by again adding key frames (usually at the very beginning and/or end, depending on how long you want the fade to last for,) and adjusting the fade bar at every key frame you've added, in order to achieve a slow or fast fade.

Adding a drop shadow effect to your titles or images can make them stand out more, or make them appear to be rising from the screen. To add one, open up the effects tab and select the drop effect, which you can drag over the title you've created. Under the 'drop' effect there will be a number of options where you can adjust the color, opacity, distance etc. of the shadow you've created.

Editing Tools

1. A 3-point edit is using the I key and O key to cut the footage you need and using the <> keys to overwrite and insert this cut into your sequence.

2. The roll edit tool is under the editing tab in Premiere Pro. This kind of edit will join to clips together by shortening one and lengthening the other, keeping the length of the overall sequence the same.

3. The insert tool basically inserts clips into your sequence without disturbing other clips, whereas overwrite will put place the selected clip over the top of a clip in the timeline.

Audio Levels

1. To change the audio levels on an audio clip in an edit sequence, you would use key frames to lower or raise the volume where you think the clips needs.

2.Using the rubber-banding technique, you can fade in or out your audio levels, using key frames to lower and raise the volume wherever you want the fade to be. Place your first key frame just before where you'd like the fade to begin. Place another one where you'd like the actual fade to start, then add two more further down, where you would like your fade to stop. You can now drag up or down to adjust the levels, creating an audio fade.

Exporting an Edit Sequence

1. To export a sequence out of Premiere Pro, go through the file tab to the 'export' option. Clicking this will open up an exporting window, where you can change the settings such as format, aspect ratio and frame rate.
