with Premeire can I:

  • alter the color and tint and contrast etc.. of the video.
  • Put fake widescreen bars on top and bottom
  • Do slow motion
  • Add GIF animations into the video.
    Lets say I have a GIF Animation and I want to insert it BETWEEN 2 clips. Can I do that?

thanks!

Premiere 5.1c can do all that, including animated GIF's which you can import and export.

ok here is a question,
can premiere adjust the timeline " TIME"
let me explain better;
in professional video, you begin the program at one hour, then you have bars & tone at say 58:30- then at 59:40 a slate, then ten seconds of black and the show starts at 1:00:00 But w/ premiere the timeline starts at
0:00:00 can you CHANGE THIS???

ALSO I know how to export a filmstrip to photoshop , BUT how do you get it back
?????

The timeline isn't when the video starts it is the length of the video. So if you started at 1 min and ended at 5 mins then the video is 4 minutes long. Starting at 0 min and ending at 5 min gives you a 5 minute video.

To import a filmstrip just do import file and select *.flm as the files you want to import.

To change the Zero point for the timeline, just go to the triangle below the Timeline window title bar. It points to the right. Then click on Timeline Window options, and under Specify a Zero Point, change it to whatever you want. Just remember to type in all the zeroes, including frames.

BTW, just so everyone else knows, broadcast videos usually start their timecode at 58;00;00, i.e 58 minutes. Black goes for 30 seconds, then color bars and tone for 1 minute, then black for 15 seconds, then a title card (slate) with running time and the production house for 10 seconds, then black for 5 seconds. Some houses follow the bars and tone with 10 of black, 10 of slate, and a 10-second countdown, with beeps on every count (though this is more often for material which was transferred from film, and which needs a check on whether the audio and video are in sync.) The program/film actually starts on 1;00;00;00 exactly - one hour. It's standard, so that broadcasters can just cue the tape to that time and not have to hunt for the beginning of the program. I thought this was pretty cool, so I thought I'd share.
