Titles




This is an example of a still, overlay, and title template.Still titles are ones that are a plain color in which I personally designed it by picking my font and font size and placing the text.
An over lay is when placing a text over the file so it will pop up as the clip is playing. a Template title is already in the programming system called premire pro. When using premire pro to create titles or any program a few tips to including when your using a software program to create titles never use the same colour as your colour font for example if your putting lettering on the sky you wouldn't use sky blue. This is a mistake I had made at first well not exactly with this example of course. You would use templates or still titles when you want an opening scence,interviews to introduce the speaker,or even actors inner thoughts. You would use overlays when you want to display a name and title of someone in an interview.

Lifting/Extracting




A simple cut in the timeline means making a cut in the timeline itself. When cutting the other clips,the timeline will show a gap left between the two clips. A ripple delete edit is when removing a clip without leaving a gap between the clips. This can be achieved by right clicking the selected clip of your choice. Ripple deleting, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip will connect to the clips (left). Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut a clip at one time. This can be done by choosing the in and out point of the second screen of the program and select either the lift or extract function. Lifting is similar to cutting. While extracting is like a ripple delete, in terms of what happens to the clips in the timeline such as the others you had chosen. This is an example of an extracting edit.

Overlays, Inserts



This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip on top of another clip. To do this, you select the area in which you want the overlay to be at, and then you drag it OVER the original clip. I decided to add the 2nd clip where I did because to me that made the most sense where it ended up. Although the clip was an odd one to edit.




The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is an overlay OVERLAYS a clip, and insert is an inserted clip into another clip interuppting the original clip without losing anything. You would use an overlay when you want a bit of an interruption, while you’d use an insert edit when you want everything nice and smooth. In this case the insert edit works better because it looks smoother then the other cips, overlay.
