ADOBE PREMIERE 5.0
User Guide
Why not just use two keyframes—the first at 0% and the last at 80%? Premiere always creates
a linear change between keyframes. Therefore, if you used only two keyframes, the blurring
would gradually increase over the duration of the clip. This is not the effect you want; rather,
you want the blur to happen fairly quickly, and then remain at that level for its duration.

15 Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
It’s starting to look like something now!
16 Save the project.
Superimposing an image
In the previous section, you used the Camera Blur filter to blur the second half of the final clip.
Now you’ll superimpose a company logo on top of this clip, making it appear as if the camera
is now focusing on the image.
1 Choose File > Import > File. Then locate and select the Veloman.eps file in the Clips folder
within the Tour folder. Click Open.
2 From the Project window, drag the Veloman.eps image into the Video 2 track.
3 Choose Window > Show Info if the palette is not already open, and adjust the image so that
its In point is set to 0:00:25:00.
By default, the duration of a still image is set in the General Preferences at 30 frames. Because
the frame rate of your video program is 15 frames per second, the duration of the image is 2
seconds. To keep the image visible until the end of the video program, you’ll need to extend its
duration. Unlike a motion clip, a still image duration can be specified by stretching the clip
representation in the Timeline.
