Help with Adobe Premier 3.0

[xlostxnekox]

I need help with it, ok actually I need someone to tell me how to work it. See I'm still in the very begining stages of it and I only know how to do very little things Like how to do rapid flashes and how to make something look like its on a TV screen with fuzzies, and how to crop and how to lay two videos on top of each other. after that I don't know who to do anything. So can someone please tell me how to use it? I mean this in general, I need a tutorial on this program. If anyone could help that would be very much appreciated. Thanks...^^

I'd start with the manual. If that doesn't cover what you want, there are many tutorials for the Premiere series available on the 'net.

Sorry, I should have been more explanatory in my last post.

What I meant to add was that, on these boards, you generally won't get much different responses to such a general "help me learn this NLE"-type query. You're much more likely to get help if you get more specific about what it is you're trying to get the program to do.
(Within bounds of reason, of course. Asking something like "how do I import video files" is likely to get you nothing but "RTFM" in response.)

Well I looked at my manual and the only thing I didn't understand was how to eliminate the back ground so only the object I want to show up will?

Short answer: Can't do it in Premiere. You've got to mask out the background one of two ways:
1) frame by frame using your image editor of choice
2) using an effects program such as After Effects (see <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... 5004">this sticky</a>)
