Premiere Tutorial 1 - Start Screen and Menu Bar

[MYITIZM]

I have one Question.. wanna know is it same with PORTABLE version.?

[SonicOrbStudios]

@MYITIZM No idea, I wasn't aware Adobe event made a portable version of this application....but I'm assuming it does the same.

[MYITIZM]

@SonicOrbStudios Okay Thanks.. Btw Love your vidS!

[mindblend1]

@MYITIZM I think portables are just hacked versions. But it's worth it when you have premiere.

[atulmadhugiri1]

@MYITIZM the portable version is illegal

Thank you.. man i will see all your videos ^^ thank

[BlutigerMetzger]

how much does adobe premier cost?

[SonicOrbStudios]

I use Camtasia Studio 6 for my tutorials. It's not free but it's the best screen capture software I have ever used. See one of my recent videos called "How to screen capture" for details.

A very well done tutorial. I am a first time viewer to this site. I will come back for more wonderfully done tutorial.

One question, what is your DV capture setup? What mini DV cam and capture card you use??

I want to buy a camera. You advice will be helpful..

Thank you

[SonicOrbStudios]

Thanks for taking the time to view my videos.

I use a Sony DCR-HC32, looking to upgrade that soon though...

It links directly to my desktop using an "iLink" firewire cable to send the data off the tape.

I am going to send you a message with a URL to my buddy's forum which will help a lot when picking a camera., (cant post URLs in the comments...)

Thanks for the email. The MiniDV Handy Camera looks alright and inexpensive. I can go for that. What about capture card or fire wire card?

Any comment on this cam, 8GB Flip Ultra/Ultra HD Camcorder ? -thanks alot...

[SonicOrbStudios]

The Flips are ok, not great..I doubt they will work with keying well.

MiniDV camcorders all have a firewire connection with them so you can simply plug into the firewire port on your computer and stream the media down onto your computer.

You should not need any external card for this....unless you don't have a firewire port...In that case you will want to buy a Firewire expansion card for your laptop or desktop computer.

The HC32 is ok..but theres better cams out for the same price these days.

[mangoprojects]

Yes. My computer does not have a firewire port. I need a firewire expansion card.

Any HD cam you recommend with $200 price range??

[SonicOrbStudios]

I dont know of many cams that capture HD in the $200 price range....that may be asking quite a bit.

Check out Mark Apsolon's new forum...if you find him on YouTube he should have a link to his website and forum in his YouTube profile.

There is a section on his forum to ask about cams and what to buy. If you can't find that send me a message though email and I'll send you a direct link.

[mangoprojects]

You were right about the $200 price range for HDcam. I could not find any :(

I looked at the forum. It has many links. Do you have the direct link?

[SonicOrbStudios]

I dont know of a specific product but it's worth asking at Mark's forum...I'll send you the link in a youtube email

I'm using cs4 but I none of my vid file types are excepted .mov .avi nothing!

[SonicOrbStudios]

Premiere has always been a little picky when it came to different files to import. Usually AVI is the safe standard and has always imported for me....if it's giving you trouble, you may not have a codec for the program. I believe you can get these at the Adobe website.

hey man, nice tut,

i like tutorials, that show you the very basics and later on the complicated stuff,

right way to introduce somebody to a programm he has no clue about, thx

[drdigital1]

Hey Dave! Another nice tutorial! Your DVD is very informative. The standard levels thing, was informative. "BUY DAVE'S DVD!"

[HerlPearl]

Great tutorial ... Tell me something, did you use CamStudio for the screen capturing?

[SonicOrbStudios]

Thanks. I actually used Camtasia Studio 6 instead of CamStudio due to a better quality capture. The program wasn't free but it does a nice job. I also found it easier to import the file from Camtasia into Sony Vegas.

[HerlPearl]

Yeah, I have heard a lot about Camtasia Studio but never really needed it so far.
