Cropping, Reversing, Flipping, & Making a DVD ???

I just started using my Adobe Premier Pro CS5 in my PC, and I have to say I love it. I am very new to this program, so forgive me if I'm asking stupid or obvious questions. I'm planning on getting the instructional DVD but I just can't afford it at this time after already laying out $800.oo for CS5.

I have learned a great deal so far, but there are several things I'd like to know how to do, and I would greatly appreciate it if someone would be kind enough to help me out.


1 - How do you crop the video so you are seeing a smaller area of the full frame? I want to be able to remove vignetting caused by certain lenses.

2 - Is there a way to "reverse" the shot? In other words, start the shot at the end and go to the beginning.

3 - Can the video image be "flipped" horizontally and vertically? So, right is left and left is right. And, top is bottom and bottom is top.

4 - Once editing is done, how do you transfer the finished project to a DVD or Blu-Ray Disc ? In other words, I want the finished movie on a disc so I can play it in any DVD or Blu-Ray player.


I hope I am not asking too much for a forum.

Your help with any of these questions will be most helpful.

Thanks
 
There's probably lots of ways to do what you want but here's some

1) Highlite the clip you want to zoom. go to "effects control" select "motion" and adjust the scale to get rid of vig. (you'll lose some resolution doing this)

2) Highlite the clip, right click and select duration/speed? set the speed to -100%

3) Not at my machine now but there's some 3d effects that can do this. also in the effects panel type in "horizontal" and see what effects are there. I seem to recall horizontal flip??

4 Select file/export to Encore. Thats the software to burn with.
 
Being a bit nitpicking:
2. Or check Reverse Speed
3. Effects/Transform/Vertical Flip or Horizontal Flip or
use 180 degrees in Rotation under Motion
4. File/Adobe Dynamic Link/Send to Encore.
 
Thanks for the clarify...If it ain't in front of my face I usually don't recall the specifics.
(maybe it's all the whiskey???)
