I would predict your feature request will be responded to as  ... We have that in AEFX so why would we bother with it in PPRO. Just like my feature requests for Invertable or featherable garbage mattes. Which I have a regular and particular need for. (Like at this very moment) How about my Feature request for Opacity Key Frames that work as consistently as other KF workflows - ie not automated. Locating a 3rd party solution will be quicker for you. ... View more

Lazy solutions  (presets) can be fine ....especially when you tell the client just after he says he really loves it ..."that took a lot of time and sorry..I will have to charge you a lot for it" ... View more

and yah i'm lazy and i actually dont want to spend time on doing it manually(*even if it takes 2 mins like u say), i'd like it to be a preset.... that is it... yes i've sent int a "new feature" to adobe... and so should everyone... Yeah we should...then all our movies can look exactly the same as the lazy guys movies. ... View more

it would be Red Giant Denoiser or Marcalli shake fixer, whatever it's called ...even these functionalities are in AEFX as standard. ... View more

Yeah, it would be nice if Premiere Pro had some more cool effects. The way I look at it ..Adobe applications(Ppro / Aefx and PS) are a suite of tools when used in combination are incredibly well endowed with FX. (Which ones are "cool" is kind of an individual taste thing)  The first guy to craft and use an effect is always the coolest though! The DL function actually makes all this work together as if PPRo and AEFX are largely combined as a single app. There are not many 3rd party type FX  that  can not be "crafted" ( created)  in these packages. Of course many look for a "single button" solution to fx and that may require a 3rd party plugin. Personally..I try to avoid too many plugins due to the hassle of managing them across computers or projects.  Can be an issue with legacy projects across multiple computers. ... View more

...and we have a WINNER! BTW: why redo the whole project.? Extend the clips or nudge the clips. ... View more

Sorry...cant do a screen shot ( but there is probably one in the Help file). Hunt around in the effects windows when the transition is selected.  It is there. BTW: are you sure your clips are butted against each other without a gap? Also: In latter versions of PPRO...you can slide the transition and the ends of it with the mouse drag. ... View more

There is a litlle STOPWATCH icon next to any parameter setting. I am sure you will see it in the Help File but I do recomend a book  like Classroom in a Book for AEFX CS5. Keyframes are what drives AEFX. ... View more

There are two ways to set up a project. (Preset) First and best is to match your source footage / images The second is to consider what the end requirement is. (Not the best way but it can work fine) If you want/need  HD...user an HD preset from the start...and then ensure that your source will fit without upscaling it.  (Down scaling it is fine) Plan your project at the beginning.  Sometimes it means kind of thinking back from what you are needing as a finished "movie" ...

I couldn't resize it to 720x480 and had to settle for 450x467 so that none of the dimensions exceed the parameters. I dont understand the "exced parameters" bit .  (Maybe Bill Hunt does) Tell us what is the size of your original images? You really do need to match the size of the project and in the case of still images...a little larger does not hurt at all. Smaller images will be a problem and as you suspect... you are losing quality. ... View more

It half  worked ....hence my suggestion. ... View more

You may want to consider scaling (a copy) of the images to  the same dimensions as your project. Use Photoshop or an application such as AVS Image Converter.  There are many free Image converters around but ideally you want one that will batch convert. ... View more

I guess you just don't know what you're missing until you've had it (like in Sony Vegas) and now you don't. I suppose I havent missed a function like that because I always craft my effects to each shot in an edit.  ( I come from a film background).  But...when I do use an overall effect on the program (which is frequently as it happens).  I do it in a nest.  Example of that is: I edit a tvc in its own timeline.  When I output to Master  File (for broadcast) I nest the edit sequence into an Output Sequence where it has ID, Countdown, Timecode burn in on leader, and I apply a Gamma Correction Effect* to the nest. * Effect applied for technical reasons in the workflow via MAC FWIW: I can see why some may find an Auto applied effect may be helpful in some circumstances though. ...

The reason why what you suggest is a really really  bad idea is that while you are in the process of editing a program  (ie adding clips and changing them) ...you would be "AUTOMATICALLY" applying effects that would  all require rendering. This would really slow down the EDIT PROCESS and make it un workeable.  Most editors strive for a "realtime" edit experience until they are satisfied with their edit...then they add effects at that stage.  (Edit then  process effects is kind of standard workflow to save time and effort) Effects applied to Audio do not generally ( or ever) require rendering) ...

3. Entire video tracks (automatically applying such effects to every clip on the track). This is what you wanted to do. I suggested using the track select tool. Create your effect on one clip eg Noise at 53%. Save it as a Preset. Select the track  (Track select tool) Drag the preset onto the selection. ... View more

#3 is easy. Use Track Select Tool > Select the track with it (from the first clip)> Drag an effect onto it.  (All clips get the same Effect.) ... View more

There is no preset in PPRo to do this and basically you know what you have to do. But it can be done a bit easier. Set up the whole sentence in a title. (Formatted as you wish to see at the final point) Then create:  a  "New Title Based on Current Title" (Title menu option when your title is open) Delete a word at a time and repeat the process between words ( ie New Title Based on Current Title ) ...
