How to make a Diagonal Line Wipe Transition in Premiere Pro
Thanks. Very helpful.
Good video!! Learned a lot! My understanding of Premiere's audio functions has gone up 50%!
With my a7c the weight would be only 949g. With my tamron 17-28 (420g) it is even less at 929g. I think these two lenses complement together very well and these share the same 67mm filter size. The 17-28 is very good on gimbal with its internal zoom that don’t change the balance. Th 24-50 would be nice to get the standard zoom 40/50 and the 35 for minimum distortion in wide lens. It provides the 24/28 for wide shot group and landscape. The 17-28 provides 17/20 good for vlogging and those that use active stabilization. I don’t care about AS, i use a gimbal for better result and no crop. My a7c has no AS anyway. It has gyro stabilization though. However i don’t need it with the superb weebill 3s gimbal.
That's a good option, and it's an f2.8 isn't it?
@@TheVideoDarkroom yes f2.8. i think a nice trio would be Tamron 17-28 f2.8 with Sony 24-50 f2.8 and Tamron 50-300 f4.5-6.3 (which have half macro capabilities). with that , we can do everything. And it is the most lightweight package full frame ever (420g + 440g + 545g = 1405g for 17-300mm fullframe lenses).
thank you sir this video is very helpful
Great video. Thank you. I get my Air 3 and DJI Mic 2 next week. I'm looking forward to learning to do this kind of video syncing. Question: I don't have video editing software yet. I was wondering what you would recommend for use with the drone and GoPro 12 videos.?
what software do you use to change the background when recording?
It's a green screen with the Chroma filter in OBS Studio.
@@TheVideoDarkroom thank you
Thank you.Very useful and clear tutorial. Now I know what to do with Davinci
Somehow my Avata now out of no where saves two files for each recording. one file being an mp4 and the other one an lrf. The mp4 is super slow mo and has very low frame rate. The lrf on the other hand has very "low resolution". Now i cant use either one of the files and cant really record anything. Can i somehow go back to recording in smooth 4k 60fps mp4 again? Thanks!
great video. It should be noted that the usbC on the RC2 won't power an audio receiver, so the receiver needs to be self powered with its own battery.
Very true.
When i expport the slides , it pixelates and quality is not good. How to fix that?
Is that on the text or images?
thanls great!
Thank you!!
thankss
thanks 👌
Thanks
Unfortunately, LRF files by DJI Osmo Action 4 are recorded in a lower frame rate (in my case 30 fps instead of 60 fps) and cannot be used in DaVinci Resolve as Proxy. Leaving this comment here for everyone who is trouble shooting and stumbles across this video.
I would have bought this lens if it was 20-50/2.8, but as it is, Tamron 20-40/2.8 is just better.
I suppose it would have been hard to make it as small and light if it was 20-50. The Tamron 20-40 is a good range though.
Very easy thank you for sharing and uploading....For me i did till minute 1:48 which is what i wanted😀
Great Video
So nice 😊
How to you do your renders? Do you use the Work Area or the In and Out Points? Why to you prefer your chosen method?
Doesn’t work for me at all. It does nothing.
Which approach were you trying?
Thank you!
Thank you! This solves a problem for me of how to combine a number of presentations into one video.
Thank you for this!
WOW! You are an artist! Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Low Resolution File
Exactly!
Mantap..
What ideas do you have for merging waypoint flights? I would love to hear them and feel free to post a link to any video you have produced using this technique.
I need this video.
Muchas Gracias por la información compartida! saludos desde Bogotá Colombia
You're welcome.
this was straight to the point, and very helpful. Thanks!
Do you use a green screen? If so, does your technique differ from mine. Do you need more detail on the OBS Studio setup? Let me know and I can do an OBS Studio tutorial for you.
sir can you also explain the roll option ?
Good idea... I'll cover that. 🙂
This was great - thank you, also 'How to make Colourise work better' which I watched first. Both very helpful. Nice accent. Scottish (or Irish?) like myself perhaps?😊
Thanks. Northern Ireland. Been in England for 20 years but you never lose it. 🙂
Are there any other panels or features that you find a mystery and would like a clear walkthrough. Drop me a comment and I'll add it to my list of upcoming videos.
I learned gold from you that proxy can use for premiere.
For some reason my "open sequence in timeline" at the 6:54 mark is greyed out an no matter what i do i ant get it to play the second timeline in the source monitor. It just keeps changing the primary monitor.
It's definitely a sequence you are clicking on and not a clip? Just checking.
very helpful thank you
For my editing application I find using the second monitor for displaying scripts, emails, and stock image searches much more productive. If I had a client sitting with me I would opt for outputting video to a hi-res monitor but fortunately that not my situation.
In practice this is exactly how I use my second screen. I put the program monitor there when I am editing with a client.
You sir are a hero!
so you don't need external storage?
You need external storage but I'm recommending a NAS rather than individual disks.
I find when I import the PowerPoint it doesn’t properly fit in the screen, as in part of the bottom of the screen is cut off. Help would be really appreciated
Is the Powerpoint file set up as 16:9 before you export? (Also assuming that your Premiere sequence is 16:9).
This helped greatly thank you
Just what I needed today. Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the video. I have a question; Is it possible to open separate monitors for both timelines?
Do you mean you want to see a timeline on each monitor. This is easy. Just click and drag the sequence name from the timeline onto the second monitor and it will open a new panel. If you want two program monitors, one for each sequence, on different monitors, I'm not sure how you would do that. You can open a sequence in the Source Monitor which would accomplish some of the same.
@@TheVideoDarkroom Thanks for your answer.
Thank you so much🙏🏽
thank you, helped me a lot!
Thank you this was very helpful!
I had this working. After an (unwanted) update it doesn't work anymore. I want the first solution and whatever I do, nothing happens on the second monitor. Is there something I can do?
Found it. Deactivate Mercury Transfer. Close and open PP. Activate Mercury Transfer. Something was messed up. Thanks for your video. It helped to narrow things down.
