are you going to cover animation?
Kariudo put me on that path for fades using opacity in a different thread.
but it's got alot of uses (took my screaming quite well too, I might add).

or has this been covered already?
This is a really good idea by the way I'm supprised it hasn't been done sooner.

btw there is a CS2 for dummies book available(sweetdeily said I should buy it)

I haven't seen a premiere or AE version.

Hey uP|iN|fLaM3z, I've got a question for you. If this is a very stupid question then please forgive me

Okay, I'm thinking about getting the Adobe Premire and I was looking through your tutorials and I thought they really helped alot. Anyway, here is my question.

1. I'm planning on using DVD's, is there a way to import clips from my DVDs to Adobe Premire?

Say for example, if I wanted to import 3 clips from Fruits Basket from my DVDs, can I just put my DVDs in my hard drive and import the files from there to Adobe Premire?

Thanks.

unfortunately it's [more times than not] not that easy.
for getting dvd footage to:
a: work
and b: look pretty darn good
you should Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a>
(it helps if you read all of it)

So if Premiere 6.0 doesn't have real-time preview, how can you know what you're doing? Do you have to make a preview every time you add or change something?

well both premiere 6.0 and 6.5, dont work in real time. 6.5 just has a real time preview. If you want to see what the effect will look like, then just Alt + Scrub the timeline to see your effect. Actually my friend has 6.0 and i looked it over. There are other options like "Preview from RAM" and "Preview from Screen" . I would pick preview from RAM. Preview from screen is really bad. But if its for an effect like Ghosting or Radial Blur, its best to render it.

I have Premiere 6.0, and my video isn't playing while my audio works fine. I'm using Naruto episodes in avi and it won't show up in the monitor window when I try to play the movie in the timeline. Do you have any suggestions about what to do or what's going wrong?

I converted the video with the lagarith codec in eo video, but it's extremely low quality. Will using a different codec like huffyuv or avysyinth or maybe leaving it as an uncompressed file make the quality just as low?
