ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 251 User Guide You create and store custom and preset bins in the Effects panel. New preset bins reside inside the root Presets bin. Though you cannot drag them from the Presets bin, you can create and arrange them within that bin in any hierarchy you like. You can place custom bins at the top of the Effects panel hierarchy, or you can nest them within other custom bins. Note: If you have placed the same item in several different custom bins, and you delete that item from one bin, Adobe Premiere Pro deletes each occurrence of the item from the custom and preset bins, and deletes each item from all clips that it affects. 1 In the Effects panel, do one of the following: • To create a custom bin, click the New Custom Bin button , or choose New Custom Bin from the Effects panel menu. • To create a presets bin, choose New Presets Bin from the Effects panel menu. Adobe Premiere Pro nests each new presets bin in the root Presets bin. • To nest a new custom or presets bin, select the bin into which you want to place the new bin, and then create a custom or presets bin. • To rename a bin, select the bin, then click the bin name, and then type a new name and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS). Skip steps 2 and 3. • To delete a bin or an item in a bin, select the bin or bin item, and then click the Delete Custom Items button at the bottom of the Effects panel. Skip steps 2 and 3. 2 Locate the effect, transition, or preset that you want to store in the bin. You may need to resize the panel so that you can see both the item and the bin. 3 Drag the item to the bin. Adobe Premiere Pro creates a shortcut to the item. Motion Adjust position, scale, and rotation Use the Motion effect to position, scale, or rotate a clip within the video frame. To animate clips, you must set keyframes for Motion properties. By default, each clip that you add to the Timeline panel has the Motion effect applied as a fixed effect. You can view and adjust the Motion effect properties in the Effect Controls panel by clicking the triangle next to the Motion name. Motion properties can be directly manipulated in the Program Monitor or using the controls in the Effect Controls panel. Motion properties can be controlled with Bezier handles. By default, a clip appears at 100% of its original size in the center of the Program Monitor. Position, scale, and rotation values are calculated from the anchor point, which lies at the clip's center. Note: Do not confuse the anchor point of a clip with anchor points created with the Pen tool in the Adobe Title Designer. Because the Position, Scale, and Rotation properties are spatial in nature, it's easiest to adjust them directly in the Program Monitor. When you click the Transform icon next to the Motion effect in the Effect Controls panel, handles appear on the clip in the Program Monitor that let you directly manipulate the clip and adjust the Motion effect properties. Although the anchor point also appears in the Program Monitor, it can be adjusted only in the Effect Controls panel. However, the Program Monitor updates any changes to the anchor point as you make them. April 1, 2008
