Sorry, but I need to rant! I'm a first year film production student, in a recent project we've had to film a two minute, three person dialogue. We were randomly assigned a crew, I was director. After the sleepless nights of stressing over organizing, and having to get a third actor at the...

I've found some very good looking videos on there, but whenever I submit something of my own it looks so blocky, it's unwatchable...Any tips?

I'm editing on Premiere 2, the program monitor video quality is set to highest quality and while it is excellent quality, I've noticed that the final exported file (that's the same format as the source footage) played in Windows Media Player just looks slightly, but noticeably better. It's...

This is a video I shot and edited over the weekend for a local death metal band. The way the VX handeled the pressure of low stage lighting was absolutely incredible! ttp://www.streamload.com/Neverdead/THC.mpg Right Click and hit Save Target As if it gives problems when left-clicking. I'm...

Do you first do a very rough cut of the entire edit, fine tune it and then edit the sound, or like me, rough cut, fine tune, and sound edit one or a small group of clips at a time before slightly tweaking the whole thing once that's done? I usually add effects and whatnot to a clip at the same...

Just wondering if there's anyway to see whether or not you've already used a clip in your sequence? If editing a collage of many different clips, is there away to find out that if among the thousands of clips you've laid down, you've got two that contain the same frames, or the same clip in...

The Premiere Pro 2 help center says, concerning ripple edts, "The edit point is dragged earlier in time—shortening the preceding clip and the total program duration." It doesn't seem to do this with me. When I use the ripple edit, the clip that I use it on just gets longer which the preceding...

I'm using Premiere 2.0 and when I want to apply the same black and white effect to about 500 clips, I figured all I would need to do is place a transparent video clip on the above track and apply the effect to that, however when I do that, there is no change made whatsoever..Any ideas?

I was filming a gig yesterday that had red stage lights as well as tungstens. I white balanced my camera and the footage looks great, the skin tones are spot on when the subject is lit by the tungsten, and obviously red when hit by the red light...Just out of interest, is there away to get the...

I saw some Chroma-keyable blood effects on DetonationFilms.com They're just $7 each :/ Does anyone know of similar effects, or how they can be created?

Just trying to sort a concept up. If I balance to daylight inside, my video will have an orange/yellowy/warm hue to it seeing as I'm telling the camera that the light should be blueish (daylight) when in fact it's yellowy from household bulbs? If I balance to indoors/tungsten outside it will...

I'm doing a music video for a band who'd like the illusion of performing with a strobe light...Short of actually using one, how would I use the strobe effect in Premiere to create this nicely?

At my school, we have a DVCPRO deck hooked up to a Black Magic capture card in our Premiere suite systems. The lecturer wasn't that good at explaining the technicalities, but from what I gathered, a Mini-DV tape is fed into the deck with an adapter, the video goes into the Black Magic via...

Well, my Primary Monitor is a Viewsonic. I have a Geforce 6800 card with dual video-out so up until today I was using an old CRT monitor.Today I got another LCD monitor by Samsung. Plugged in, everything works fine. I use the Nvidia control panel to select that all full screen video should be...

I've been watching some HD clips shot on a JVC HD100 camera. (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=50551) I have an SD monitor but I think those clips are absolutely amazing quality! What diffrences would I notice in those clips if I were watching on an HD monitor? Is it possible to...
