Vicbond's guide, and adobe pro

Hello...

I've been following vicbond's guide to using footage from dvds for amvs. I've finally gotten to the part about actually making the amv.

But one problem I've run into is, I can't find adobe premier 6.0. I downloaded premier pro 2.0, because he said there shouldn't be too much of a difference.

Unforunately, there is. So much in fact, that I'm not confident in using it, because I don't know what this might do to the amv, since I've followed his instructions to the letter up until this point.

Some of the main differences for example, that bug me:

I can't find a way to change the timebase from 29.97 (or whatever that frame rate exactly is) to 24. I also can't choose huffyyuv as my compressor. There were a few other options I believe I was supposed to change that it wouldn't let me (since I was using the demo version).

Can anyone point to me a place where I can download adober premiere 6.0?
Is there a way some one can point out what I might need to do with pro instead?
Or is there a preset that'll work just fine, and I'm worrying about nothing?

This is my first attempt at an amv, so I don't wanna screw things up this far into it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anyway, have you tried reading <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... l">this</a>? I don't know why the demo version wouldn't let you change settings like that. Also, dumb question: do you have the HuffYUV codec installed?

Though I should mention that Premiere Pro won't let you change most project settings in the middle of a project: you have to get them right when you first create the thing.

Ok... I'll get to some of these responses:

Pwolf: Oh yes, I'll go out and buy an Eight hundred fifty dollar program that I would only use to make amvs. To which I may only make one or two.

Yes, that makes perfect sense!

Purge: I'm not sure what you're telling me...

Scintilla: Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, what did I say that warrents your first comment?

When it comes to huffyuv, it doesn't even give me the option to change settings. I just wanted to use a good video editor, and since I only needed one for about a week or two, I thought a trial version would be more than adequate.

I wasn't planning on changing the settings midway through the project, I just wasn't allowed to change anything to begin with.

I think I'm just going to try to work with what I can and see how it turns out..

Minion: I made a typo, omglolroflcopterskaterradarrange. I can't believe my finger hit a key besides the one I intended to hit and I missed it when I looked over my post. That like never happens.
