ADOBE PREMIERE 5.0
User Guide
To specify an exact time for motion:
1
Click the two red arrows next to the time display to specify how time is measured:
•
If the two arrows touch, , the time is measured from the beginning of the clip.
•
If the two arrows are separated, , the time is measured from the beginning of the video
program in the Timeline window.
2
Create a motion point by clicking in the timeline (or by selecting an existing one). Then drag
it to the appropriate time by watching the time display.
Setting other motion options
You can choose other motion options to include a fill color, specify the type of motion,
and specify how Premiere treats the alpha channel of the clip.
In the Motion Settings dialog box, you can choose the following options:
Reset
Removes the distortion, delay, rotation, and zoom settings for a selected point.
Fill Color
Specifies a background color that fills the frame behind the moving clip. To select a
background color, click the desired color on the thumbnail in the Fill Color box (the pointer
turns into the eyedropper tool when it is on the thumbnail), or click the color swatch above the
thumbnail to access the color picker and choose a color.
Smooth Motion
Smooths the path along which the clip travels. This option smooths sharp
changes in direction, rotation, and distortion. You can control the smoothness of the path by
choosing an option from the pop-up menu. The Smooth Motion option provides the smallest
amount of smoothing; the Averaging-High option provides the greatest amount of smoothing.
Alpha: Use Clip’s
Superimposes a clip using its existing alpha channel. This is the normal setting
for titles or graphics created in another application that supports alpha channels, such as Adobe
Photoshop. This option will affect only those clips that have been assigned an alpha channel
key type in the Transparency Settings dialog box. For information on alpha channels,
see “Using the Alpha Channel key” on page 268.
