ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 11 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK 89
Create an InstantMovie from the content by selecting it in the Organizer and
sending it to Adobe Premiere Elements to create the InstantMovie. is is the
option explored in the next exercise.
Creating an InstantMovie
In this exercise, you’ll create an InstantMovie from the Space Shuttle clips that
you tagged in a previous exercise. Again, an InstantMovie is a professional-looking
edited movie complete with titles, soundtrack, effects, and transitions that you’ll
create by following a simple wizard.
You’ll start in the Organizer, using the video clips you’ve been tagging from the
Lesson04 folder. Follow the first two steps in “Tagging clips in the Organizer” to
make sure these clips are the only ones present in the Media browser. In addition,
close Adobe Premiere Elements to start with a clean slate in that program. Do not
overwrite the file Lesson04_Start_Win.prel (Windows) or Lesson04_Start_Mac.prel
(Mac OS): If you want to save your work, please save it under a different name.
1 Let’s start by removing audio and photos from display in the browser. Choose
View > Media Types > Photos and then choose View > Media Types > Audio to
remove these media types from the Media browser.
2 Press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Command+A (Mac OS) to select all clips in the
Media browser, click the Create button (
) in the upper-right corner of the
Organizer, and choose InstantMovie (
).
3 Adobe Premiere Elements launches. If the Format Mismatch dialog opens, click
Yes to change the project preset to match the clips.
4 If a Save Project dialog opens, name the file Lesson04_InstantMovie.prel and
save it in the Lesson04 folder.
Note: You can
create InstantMovies
from within Adobe
Premiere Elements by
adding the desired
clips to the timeline in
either Quick or Expert
view and clicking the
Instant Movie button
on the Action bar. From
there, the procedure
is virtually identical to
what's described here.
Note that when creating
an InstantMovie, Adobe
Premiere Elements
removes all effects,
transitions, and titles
that you’ve added to
the project, so trim the
excess content from
your clips, but don’t
add these elements
because they will all be
eliminated.
