Getting Started with Adobe Premiere 5.0
Powerful and flexible track layout
Hide and more easily lock tracks, target tracks for editing,
and even collapse subtracks (Video 1A, Video 1B and the transitions between them) into a
single track using new controls on the left side of the window. The new shy track feature lets
you hide a track while still including its clips in the final output. Many of these new concepts
and interface elements are modeled on those in the Layers palette found in Adobe Photoshop,
Illustrator, and PageMaker.
Adding and deleting tracks
Use the Track Options dialog box (available from the Timeline
window menu) to add, delete, and rename tracks.
Moving to next and previous edits, and moving the edit line
Use buttons in the Monitor
window to move to previously established edit positions, or accomplish the same tasks using
the following shortcuts in the Timeline window: Control (Windows) or Command (Mac
OS) + Shift + the Left or Right arrow keys moves to the next or previous edit points. Deselect
clips in the Timeline (by clicking any selected clip) and then press the Left or Right arrow
keys to move the edit line itself.
Rendered scrubs and alpha scrubs
Perform a rendered scrub (displaying frames with
applied effects and filters) by pressing Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while dragging
in the time ruler. If you also press the Shift key while scrubbing in this fashion, you can
preview effects involving alpha channels. Drag the edit line to display frames without
applied effects or filters.
Other interface improvements
See more clearly where filter and motion settings are applied
to clips, and see the name of any applied transparency type: This information is now
displayed on the clip representations in the Timeline window. All video tracks above the
Video 1 tracks are superimpose tracks—the topmost track in the window is foremost in
the video program.
