Tutorial for Premiere: Start -> All Programs -> Adobe Master Collection CS3 -> Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Click "New Project"The default preset is fine for now, but next to "Location" click "Browse..." and navigate to your folder on the network. Computer -> cs (\\cseexec.cs.washington.edu)(O:) -> unix -> projects -> instr -> production1 -> cse456_su12_student_files -> yourlastname_yourfirstnameName it something sensible like "yourlastname_yourfirstname_lab1"Hit "OK"You should now see several control panels. On the top left is the Project Control Panel that will show you the files you have imported and your sequences. Two the right is a viewport and editing area for a single selected clip. On the far right is a viewport for how your movie will appear. On the bottom left is basic info, an effects listing, and your history. To the right of that is the Timeline and on the far right some Toolboxes.To get your files into Premiere go to File -> Import...and again navigate to your folder on the network where you have saved your images. Select the desired ones (use Ctrl to select multiple files) and hit "Open" They should appear in the Project Control Panel.Select the first image you want in your movie in the Project Control Panel. Then left click on it and drag it into the Timeline Panel. You should see the clip appear as a rectangle at the start of the timeline. If you hover on the top right edge of the clip your cursor will turn into a red bracket with two arrows. This tool will let you adjust the length of your clip, so click and extend your clip to about 8 seconds (00;00;08;00). Repeat this process for all your images, dragging them after the previous one in the timeline. You will notice that Premiere has a nice feature that automatically tries to snap your next clip onto the end of the previous one.Now that you have them all in the timeline, scrub through your film and make sure all the images appear the way you want them to in the top right panel. To scrub, click and move the blue marker in the timeline or alternatively hit the play button under the viewport to watch it play at approximately realtime. If you have yet to resize your images from when you scanned them, you will likely see that your pictures don't fit in the frame very well. To fix this, click on the offending clip in the timeline and in the Clip Control Panel click on the Effect Controls tab. By default Premiere adds several video effects. The first one on the list should be called Motion. If you click the picture of the rectangle with the arrow next to the word "Motion" you will notice that in your movie viewport a box will appear around your clip edges. Grab a corner of this box in the viewport and drag to scale as needed. Alternatively (and more precisely) you can click the arrow to the left of the rectangle picture and you will get a dropdown list. Find "Scale" and click drag over the number to adjust your clip size or click and manually type in a number. Repeat this process until all your pictures are scaled appropriately.When you are ready to save out a film go to File -> Export -> Movie...Again, find your folder on the network and name the file something reasonable like "yourlastname_yourfistname_lab1" and then click the "Settings..." button. Under File Type select Quicktime. Under Range set it to Work Area Bar. For now, unclick the Export Audio box. Click "OK" and then click "Save". You should now have your film for the first lab! Make a folder in the lab1 turnin folder (Computer -> cs (\\cseexec.cs.washington.edu)(O:) -> unix -> projects -> instr -> production1 -> cse456_su12_turn_in -> yourlastname_yourfirstname) called "yourlastname_yourfirstname" and put a copy of your film inside. Please remember to save your Premiere file frequently as you go and save iterations. This may not seem as relevant for this lab because it should be pretty quick, but it will become very important the more time you put into your editing later. THIS LAB ASSIGNMENT IS DUE WEDNESDAY 6/27 IN THE TURNIN BOX ON THE NETWORK 2ff7e9595c
