Congrats on your retirement, Kenneth! OK, I understand. I studying Photoshop on and off for years, and I guess I'll eventually get it. Thanks for your help. So if I were to try to do what you did with my photo above with other photos that I have to work on now, how do I know how big to make the canvas?

Hi Kenneth That's my brother's name! I really appreciate you working on my image. It's so frustrating when I feel that I'm pretty good with computers and software (built my first machine in 1990), and spend an hour trying to do what seems now so very simple! As I had asked Myra above, are you available for hire should I run into problems in the future with Photoshop? I'm using the latest version and I have a ton of different things that I'll be trying to do as I'm constructing a video project that's pretty extensive. I'd rather pay someone to help as my video project grinds to a halt when I can't figure out a Photoshop task. If you are interested, please email me at Jshopping@comcast.net and let me know. Thanks again! 🙂

Myra, Thank you so much for that great information regarding the Crop tool, I really appreciate it. By any chance, are you available for hire should I run into problems in the future with Photoshop? I'm using the latest version and I have a ton of different things that I'll be trying to do as I'm constructing a video project that's pretty extensive. If you are interested, please email me at Jshopping@comcast.net and let me know. Thanks again! 🙂

Hope I'm in the right place here. I have this photo open in Photoshop and the Image size is 400 wide X1025 pixels tall. I simply want to change the Aspect Ratio to 16:9, or 9:16 (sorry, I forget what Facebook wantes the Story photos to be), so that the head and feet arent' cut off. I see that the Crop and the Aspect Ratio somehow work together, so I'm having trouble. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone! I've searched in vain for an answer to this the last few days to no avail. I've got a 9 camera multi cam sequence in Premier Pro CC 2018 shot on a green screen. In the "nest", I've pulled the key on each individual video and now have a black background on each in the Multi Cam sequence view. When I go back to the Project Panel to open the "nest", I figured I could just move each video track up and insert my background there, thus making it then visible in the Multi Cam sequence. This isn't working though as the Multi Cam sequence is seeing the additional backgrounds that I put in the nest as separate cameras. I can't figure out how to replace the backgrounds. Does anyone know how? I can do everything else in the nest and then see it in the Multi Cam sequence like color correction, using motion controls etc, but could really use some help. Thanks so much.

Hi. Can anyone recommend a lightweight, free or paid, utility software that can cut down .mxf files coming from my Canon XF100? Before I dump them into Premier Pro CC, I'd like to save space by cutting seconds/minutes of pre-shot and post-shot useless video that over time can eat up hard disk space. I don't want to have to "convert" to another format, but rather just cut down the .mxf and remain an .mxf. Thanks.

Hi, I downloaded a 3D book cover and successfully placed the image of my book on the 3D book cover template. The problem is, the book image now is against a white background. I wanted to remove the white background, so I use the Magnetic Lasso tool to get the marching ants around the book. This is probably wrong, but I then chose "Inverse", but to my surprise, at least then I had marching ants not only around the book, but also around the outer perimeter of the white box that I'm trying to remove. I then chose "Clear" and I got the transparent checkerboard where the white box used to be and I thought I was good, but when I export the .jpg, the white box is back. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry for the delay responding, been sick and then busy trying to make a living. I'm dreading having to do all the exporting again as I thought the H.264 would be fine to use as I use those for Blu Ray disks, so I figured they are high quality. I mean, they do look good, but I sort of want to follow your suggestions. Again, my original project files that I would have to export from are all scattered across internal HD's in my system that I use for archiving, so I'm thinking I'd have to move them all back to my RAID 0 for better performance to pull the clips. Also, I did look at the export setting in Media Encoder 2017 (latest version) and I do see a export choice (I'm on Windows 10) for Dnxhd, but if I remember correctly, there were many presets and I don't know which one to choose. I'd want the highest quality and file size is not an issue, so if you could please guide me on the Dnxhd and preset settings, I'd appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Wow, thank you for that info, RoninEdits. No, my RAID 0 is the Graid on a USB 3. Port. Someone else mentioned I may have too much on the USB ports to utilize the speed I should have. Here I am thinking my RAID 0 is doing the job, but in the back of my mind it did occur to my that too much stuff was on the USB 3 ports. I never looked into what ports are part of what Lanes, but I must do that. I'm just very confused as I don't want to start this enormous project the WRONG way, even though I'll probably be able to complete it somehow by trial and error. Again, I need to pull 5 to 20 seconds clips from completed PPro projects that are all about 1 hour in length, and those completed projects are all sitting on my internal drives that are my Archives (of course I've got several external drive backups of those off site). If I only use the External USB 3 RAID 0 to assemble the project, and leave the Archived projects where they are and just have the Project refer to those clips, I guess that's ok, but I will then be forced to LEAVE them in that exact location or else I'll be relinking in the future should I want to work on them again, which I hate to do as you never know what can go wrong, in my experience anyway. After what you said about DNx, now I'm thinking maybe I should open those Archived projects one by one, and then export the clips I want in the DNx format so I don't lose quality, and then dump all those DNx files on the RAID 0 and assemble the project there, like that. For some reason, I'm feeling that even though this will be way more work (because I already have H.264 exports of all the Archived Projects already), this would be better. What do you think? I've been using Prem for many years and never noticed the DNx export option in Media Encoder. I was using uncompressed avi to save the best possible versions for Archiving but the file sizes are enormous. Any ideas from you would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi Everyone. I have almost 1 Terabyte of source footage of an entertainer. It's footage of many of his one hour shows, his music videos, his interviews etc....Some of it is high quality HD, and some of it is low quality SD from VHS tapes. I plan to pull various segments from all of that footage to create a 15-20 minute video Demo showing his varied work. The source footage is all now filed on two internal drives on my system (7200 rpm SATA). Also, I just built this system, so it's a very fast, 64 bit Windows 10 machine with 64 Gigs of RAM and very fast video card. My editing drive is a USB 3, G Raid 4 Terabyte set up as RAID O My Media Cache Drive is a 1 terabyte USB 3 My Export/Previews Drive is a 1 Terabyte USB 3 Here's my question. Should I copy ALL of the source footage from the two internal drives over to the RAID 0 drive and start editing? Or, can I leave the source footage where it is and edit the project from the RAID 0? My gut says to copy all the footage over, because then I'd be utilizing the editing speed of the RAID O, but I'm not sure. I just wanted to confirm that copying it all over to the RAID 0 is the correct way to utilize the RAID drive as otherwise I guess my PPro project file will just be referencing the video on the non-RAID system drives, right? My other idea was to go to each separate source video file on the non-RAID drives, pull the highlight segment that I want from each video file, and then export that segment to a H.264 file and put those H.264 files on the RAID 0 and edit and assemble the Demo like that. I'm worried though that this would degrade the video somewhat as it's then a copy, so I'm thinking having ALL the source files on the RAID 0 would be better. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thank you. Yes, I've got plenty of on/off site multiple backups and will be experimenting with that this weekend. They "are" spanned files and that's why I was curious. Yes, I've seen non-spanned MTS files work fine by importing individually without importing the entire Folder Structure.

Yes, I understand, for future shoots. But again, I've got tons of Folder Structures that are due for editing, and since they are all as described above, I'm trying to answer the question. I guess no one really knows the answer to the basic Folder Structure question, so I'll do what I figured I'd have to do, spend a few hours experimenting to see for myself what happens. Thanks anyway.

I have MTS Files shot on one date, and MTS files shot on another date, all mixed in together in the same Folder Structure. If I remove the MTS files shot on one date, but leave the other MTS files shot on another date, and then import that folder structure via Media Browser into my Premier Pro project, will the remaining MTS files remaining in the Folder Structure assemble correctly in a sequence on the timeline without any gaps/hiccups?

Thanks, my digital workflow has been working fine for the last 18 years since I switched over from 3/4" tape, and it has rewarded me with a very comfortable income, but I appreciate your passionate advice. My main question above, that I'm struggling to explain as detailed as I could and hoping for an answer to, is this: I have MTS Files shot on one date, and MTS files shot on another date, all mixed in together in the same Folder Structure. If I remove the MTS files shot on one date, but leave the other MTS files shot on another date, and then import that folder structure via Media Browser into my Premier Pro project, will the remaining MTS files remaining in the Folder Structure assemble correctly in a sequence on the timeline without any gaps/hiccups?

Thanks, but as I said above, I can't go into all the reasons this is not feasible. Also, I didn't want to complicate my question any further than it already sounded, so I left out the fact that I shoot with four (4) cameras simultaneously, so there are four folder structures that may be littered with other files from other shoots, so knowing the answer to my question would be helpful in sorting out this mess and keeping the dozens of terabytes of storage to a minimum by not having useless duplicate MTS files. Sure, I can buy dozens of cards, but I'm still in the dark about how the folder structures work and how Media Browser handles them in my particular situation. Thanks again anyway.

Hi. Sorry if I missed the answer to this, but I just can't figure this one out. After I shoot a one hour video of my friends band onstage, I do understand that since my Canon Vixia G10 creates separate .MTS files, I need to use the Media Browser and import the entire folder structure into my Premier Pro CC 2017 project so that there are no little dropouts between the .MTS files when trying to assemble a sequence on the timeline. Fine. I found out the hard way that by just copying the .MTS files over to the Project Panel individually from a video that's one hour long, that there were little "blips" in my video at the points where the next .MTS file would start. Fine. Here's where I'm confused, and where I'm "hogging" disk space by not knowing how to handle that folder structure. Sometimes when I'm on my way to shoot the one hour show, I don't have time to empty my camera from the last shoot, and since I'm shooting on the same internal memory (or sometimes if I'm shooting on the same SD card), the new hour of video footage is now in the same folder structure as the last hour of video footage. I know you'll all probably say just to copy the footage off the camera, but I can't go into all the reasons that it's sometimes not possible, plus the fact that even though the first hour of video footage is on my computer’s hard drive, and backed up, it's still not edited, so I don't want to delete it from the camera until I finish working on it in the computer. So, the camera is sort of like my 3rd backup copy. OK, so now I've got a folder structure that has several .MTS files combined for an hours’ worth of video on one date, which I can clearly see in the folder structure, and several other .MTS files combined for a separate hour worth of video on another date that I can also see in Windows explorer. Now to the editing. Let's say that I want to edit just the one date with the 1 hour show. BEFORE I use Media Browser to import that 1 hour show, can I just remove the other MTS files from the other 1 hour video (I guess by cutting and pasting those .MTS files to another temp location) and then import the folder structure via Media Browser into my Premier Pro project. Will this ensure that the .MTS files will assemble correctly in a sequence on the timeline? Even though I took out all of those other .MTS files from the other one hour video that was shot on the other date? Of course, then I want to edit the other hour of video at another time, so can I do the exact same thing as above, but this time EXCLUDE the other video from the folder structure before I bring it in (again, I guess by cutting and pasting those .MTS files to another temp location.) I'm wasting dozens and dozens of gigabytes of storage space by having all these dupe .MTS files from different shoots mixed into folders and I would like to get rid of them ONLY if it won't screw up the way those .MTS files assemble themselves on the timeline for a one hour video. Thank you and I hope I was clear.
