I would like to know how to crop and render a video in Adobe Premiere Pro Cs3. I had tried several times but I couldn't remove the black borders. I went to export as a movie, but the video looks the same.

I'm trying to restore an analog video from a vcr tape. My output is an avi file. I need to crop a lot of garbage from the edges of the video.

Gerald,

For cleaning up the edges of a VCR tape conversion to digital, you will probably be best to use the Fixed Effects>Motion>Scale (to Zoom into the "clean" material) and then possibly a little Motion>Position, to move the Clip (now slightly Zoomed with Motion>Scale) around the Frame - this will effectively "crop" that Clip. It's like having a matte with an 8 x 10 aperture, and having an 8.5 x 11 Image below it. You only see through that 8 x 10 aperture, but can move that larger Image around a bit, below that matte.

Good luck,

Hunt

The Help file will have the necessary instructions on how to use the software. I recommend giving that a thorough read through. Start at the beginning and go in sequence. Try each new thing as you learn it. Look up any words you do not fully understand.
