ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 162 User Guide Insert or overlay clips in a multi-camera sequence You can make edits to a multi-camera sequence from the original four camera clips. For example, if one camera recorded a presenter and another recorded a screen of presentation slides, you can intersperse shots of the presentation slides. You can use this technique as an alternative to rerecording sections of the multi-camera sequence. 1 Double-click the multi-camera target sequence in the Timeline panel to open it in the Source Monitor. Like the Multi-Camera Monitor, the Source Monitor displays footage previews of the original camera shots. 2 Click the display for the footage you want to add to the sequence. The active display has a yellow border. 3 Choose the clip source that you want to edit (video, audio, or both) and drag the clip to the Timeline panel, or use the Insert or Overlay buttons in the Source Monitor. Working in other applications Edit a clip in its original application The Edit Original command opens clips in the applications associated with their file types. You can edit them in the associated applications and automatically incorporate those changes into the current project without quitting Adobe Premiere Pro or replacing files. Exported Adobe Premiere Pro movies can also be embedded with information that allows them to be opened using the Edit Original command that is in other applications, such as Adobe After Effects. 1 Select a clip in either the Project panel or Timeline panel. 2 Choose Edit > Edit Original. To export a movie with the information to use the Edit Original command, in the Export Movie Settings dialog box, choose Project from the Embedding Options menu. (See "Export a movie file for further editing" on page 386.) Working with Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro If you use Photoshop to create still images, you can use Adobe Premiere Pro to make them move and change. You can animate an entire image or any of its layers. You can edit individual frames of video and image sequence files in Photoshop. In addition to using any Photoshop tool to edit and paint on video, you can also apply filters, masks, transformations, layers styles, and blending modes. You can paint using the Clone Stamp, Pattern Stamp, Healing Brush, or Spot Healing Brush. You can also edit video frames using the Patch tool. With the Clone Stamp, you can sample a frame from a video layer and paint with the sampled source onto another video frame. As you move to different target frames, the source frame changes relative to the frame from which you initially sampled. After making edits, you can save the video as a PSD file, or you can render it as a QuickTime movie or image sequence. You can import any of these back into Adobe Premiere Pro for further editing. If you use Adobe Premiere Pro to create movies, you can use Photoshop to refine the individual frames of those movies. You can remove unwanted visual elements, draw on individual frames, or use the superior selection and masking tools in Photoshop to divide a frame into elements for animation or compositing.
