Premiere is world of possiblities

Today,,,I feel lost from the second life 'cos honstly it's difficult at the beginning but I'm sure it's intersting later on(when?) I don't have an answer..

anyway, In the second life and in order to use the prims usefully you need to use the feature "path cut" which has two paramater one to cut from the beginning and the another to cut from the end...the path cut takes values between 0 and 1...
but it's really useful...how? well, when you want to make for example stairs you can use the values 0.250 and 0.875 and you will get a frist step....rather than using two prims to do so...enjoy ...and to make windows and water you will need the transparancy which takes values to increase or decrease the transparancy...

Premiere.....
My problem is that not clear where are the functions that you need so you should either follow instructions or spend lots of your time descovering where are them and the the time line in premier is also not clear enough for example if you need to make imortant things like remove a part from the video but from the end I were using that one from the beginning till I found that holding click on that command till the other commands appears...




in premiere version 6: firstly there is an attached folder which contains the files you will work on for your first project...

1- choose the style you will work with..



and then choose the video type chioce:


then the main window which contains the important windows like the time line and the project window that holds your files(videos and audios and text and so on)

2- import you files under the path C:program files\premiere\sample files. Import these file by the project folder in the top right corner by right-click on it and choose import then select the files from the path above and then you find them as follows:


3- you will work in many widows but for now just focus on the monitor window which has two screens one called the source and the other called the program the first one you will work on it to edit you files and the other screen is the result...drag your files from the project window to the source window in the monitor:


4- the second very important window is the time line at the button which contain the files you will work on..try to be familiar with the buttons on it....it has initially two tracks for the vedio and three for the audio 1, 2 and 3 orderly..

5- drag the files from the project to the vedio or audio track and and then douple-click to see your file in the source screen...

some imoprtant issues you should take in account like:
1- the hestory window which hekp me to backward from last operations I've done...
2- the info window which give me exactly where I am in the movie.
3- the transation, video and Audio window which helps to add effects to your movie.
4- to add Text I found it difficult to controll the text but after trying the title many times which needs to explore the right-click options(on the text) to add the text just go to file menue and from new choose title. and then add the text,,
this is to make separate text part but to add to the video I couldn't find it yet.
5- the { and } in the time line line are important to cut from the beginning or from the end.
6- to see the effects on your film after modification just press Enter or instead to save your time hold Alt while you move the time line...
7- to add motion to your video just right-click on it and choose the video option and then choose motion

8- finally,, when you want to see your movie go to file menue and then choose export time line and choose movie.
congradulation your movie under the directory you've chosen..
