Creating color bars and a 1-kHz tone
You can create a one-second clip containing color bars and a 1-kHz tone, as a reference
for
calibrating video and audio equipment.
Some audio workflows must be calibrated at a specific tone level. The default level of the
1-kHz tone is 012 dB referenced to 0 dBfs. You can customize the tone level to match your
audio workflow by choosing Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain with a clip selected. If you
select the bars and tone clip in the Project window, you set the default gain level for new
clip instances. If you select a clip in the Timeline window, you change the level for that clip
instance only.
To create color bars and a 1-kHz tone:
In the Project window, click the New Item button at the bottom of the Project Window
and choose Bars and Tone from the menu that appears.
Creating black video
Empty areas of a track appear black if no other visible clip areas are present on underlying
video tracks. If necessary, you can also create clips of opaque black video for use
anywhere
in a sequence. A black video clip is a still image at the project frame size, with a five-
second
duration. To create a clip of a different color, use a color matte (see “Creating a color
matte”
on page 233).
To create black video:
In the Project window, click the New Item button at the bottom of the Project Window
and choose Black Video from the menu that appears.
Using offline files
An offline file is a placeholder for a source file that isn’t currently available on disk. Offline
files remember information about the missing source files they represent, and they give
you flexibility when actual files are not available. If an offline file appears in the timeline, a
“Media Offline” message appears in the Program view and in the track.
When you use the Capture window to log clips from a tape, Adobe Premiere Pro
automatically
creates offline files containing the exact information required to capture the clips
later (see “Logging clips as offline files for batch capture” on page 72). You can also create
