Question

Timeline template

Every month i have to make two short 30 sec videos, where some parts are changed each month, and some parts stay the same.

 

One video is 16:9 ratio, the second is 9:16. I make the first video in a 16:9 1080 timline. I then make the second in 9:16 timeline. But each month, i have to copy/paste the swapped out/ new photos etc from the 16:9 timeline and then add them to the 9:16 timeline and re-size/shape to fit this new aspect ratio. (NB: the same 'permanent' parts of both videos are in repeated in both timelines, but in the 9:16 timeline, the permanent parts have been pre-made to fit the 9:16 ratio).

 

My question is, is there a way of having the two timlines set up where when i add the new content to the 16:9 timeline, it automatically adds this new content to the 9:16 timeline, but re-framed/sized to the 9:16 ratio?

Hi diz_qo,

Thanks for the message. Have you checked out Auto-Reframe? It should do what you want. Documentation for that is here: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/auto-reframe.html

 

Try it and let us know if it worked for you.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

The documentation says re-frame doesn't work for still images. I also forgot to mention that to create the 2nd 9:16 timeline, i have to copy/paste 're-framed' video edits from an older/existing 9:16 timeline, that are specially made to fit the 9:16 timeline/ aspect ratio. ++ Both timelines include footage that has text burnt in(altho theoretically i could have all the text as text overlays in the timeline).

 

Btw here's one version of the 9:16 video on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reel/593566652624399

Looks cool. When it comes to repurposing projects from widescreen to portrait aspect ratio, I found that I have to redo a lot of work to make it look satisfactory. You could create two sets of presets and get the work done faster rather than futzing with other methods. I have seen some of those bands, BTW. I'm that old. LOL.

 

Thanks,
