The Edit workspace In the Edit workspace, you can improve the appearance of your clips as well as add effects to your clips.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide How to import video There are four basic methods for adding media to your projects: capturing from tape or live sources, importing files from other types of storage, adding from the Organize workspace, or recording narrations from a microphone. When you add media files to your project, they are added to the Project view and the Organize workspace. Each file is represented by a thumbnail, called a clip.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide • QuickTime Movie (.mov, .3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .m4a, .m4v) Note: To import video from mobile phones (.3gp and .mp4), you must have the most recent version of QuickTime installed on your computer. Capturing video Use the Capture window to monitor the video and access all of the capture commands (Figure 1). Adobe Premiere Elements automatically detects the attached capture device and provides an alert in case of a mismatch.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Adding files from tape camcorders Capturing involves recording video and audio directly to a hard drive from a DV or HDV camcorder, webcam, or other WDM (Windows Driver Model) device. Adobe Premiere Elements automatically detects the attached capture device and sets all capture settings accordingly. The Capture window provides controls that let you remotely control your device, making it easy to play, capture, pause, and stop the video on your device.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide 9. Click the Capture button. Premiere Elements begins capturing video from the camcorder (Figure 4). 10. When you have finished capturing, click the Pause button. Depending on the options you selected, the Auto Analyzer runs and the captured clips are added to the Organize workspace and/or the Timeline.

Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide How to edit clips Editing clips includes previewing and trimming them to eliminate unnecessary material. It could also include revising clip properties such as speed, direction, and duration. If you have media clips generated by other programs, you can also edit them in their original applications from within Adobe Premiere Elements.
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide To display and hide docking headers: Do one of the following: To make docking headers appear, choose Window > Show Docking Headers. To make docking headers disappear, choose Window > Hide Docking Headers. Note: To access any of the commands in the panel menu when docking headers are hidden, right-click in the panel. Editing tools You use the editing tools in the Timeline and in the Monitor panel to trim clips, split them, and change their speed (Figure 2).
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Zooming into or out of the Timeline When you zoom in on the Timeline, Adobe Premiere Elements magnifies the Timeline around the current-time indicator, letting you examine smaller increments of media. You can also zoom in as you add a clip to the Timeline, magnifying the location around the pointer rather than the current-time indicator. This technique lets you better see the placement of the insertion before you release the mouse.
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide To position the current-time indicator: In either the Preview window or the Timeline, do any of the following. Drag the current-time indicator (Figure 4). Click the time ruler where you want to position the current-time indicator. Press Shift while dragging the current-time indicator to snap it to the edge of the closest clip or marker (Timeline only). Drag the time display to the desired time value (Figure 5).
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Trimming clips You can build movies in several ways, but all of them involve selecting the portions of source clips you want to include. You rarely use an entire clip. In and Out points define the first and last frames you want to use from a clip (Figure 6). Setting In and Out points does not actually delete frames from the hard drive but instead isolates the portion of the clip you want included in the movie.
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide To preview a clip in the Preview window: 1. Open the Media in the Tasks panel. 2. Double-click a clip in the Media view (Figure 8). The clip appears in the Preview window. 3. Do any of the following in the Preview window: To play the clip, click the Play button. To step back or forward one frame, click the Step Back button or the Step Forward button. To step back or forward five frames, Shift-click the Step Back button or the Step Forward button.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Zooming in and out in the Preview window When previewing a clip in the Preview window, you can zoom in or out of its time ruler to expand or contract its increments. Zooming in on the time ruler helps you see changes happening over small expanses of time, even over the duration of a single frame. Zooming out helps you see changes happening over longer spans.
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide Removing frames from the middle of a clip in the Sceneline You may want to retain material at the beginning and end of a clip for your movie but remove material from its middle. You can split the clip right before the unwanted section begins and then trim the unwanted material from the beginning of the newly created second clip. To remove frames from the middle of a clip in the Sceneline: 1. In the My Project panel, click Sceneline. 2.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Editing clips on the Timeline You can remove or regain trimmed frames from either end of a clip by dragging the clip’s edge in the Timeline. To help you locate the precise frame you want, the Monitor panel displays the frame at the changing In or Out point of the clip as you drag. If a clip has another clip immediately adjacent to the edge you’re trimming, the Monitor panel displays the frames of both clips side-by-side.
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide Using Smart Trim The Smart Trim mode automatically analyzes clips on the Timeline, identifying problems such as low contrast, too shaky, too dark, or blurry. To use Smart Trim: 1. In the My Project panel, click Timeline. 2. Click the Smart Trim Mode icon (Figure 18). Premiere Elements switches to Smart Trim mode. You may see the message “Analyzing Media.” Smart Trim highlights clips with problems. 3.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide About splitting clips At times you may want to apply different effects to different parts of a clip. For example, you may want to speed up the first part of it while leaving the second part at normal speed. To do this, you cut a clip into separate pieces and then apply effects and transitions to those pieces. You can split a clip in a movie by using the Split Clip tool to cut one or more selected clips at the current-time indicator.
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide Using Time Stretch At times, you may want to stretch out a clip to match an audio track or for other reasons. To do so, you first need to drag the clip to the end of the movie or to another track with sufficient space, so that you do not bump up against another clip when you are stretching the clip. You can also use Time Stretch for images. When you apply Time Stretch to an image, the image is displayed for more time. To apply Time Stretch to a clip: 1.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide To apply Time Stretch to an image: 1. In the My Project panel, click Timeline. 2. Move the image to the end of the movie or another track with sufficient space. 3. Click the Time Stretch tool at the top of the Timeline. 4. Position the pointer over the edge of the image you want to stretch until the correct icon appears: • Time Stretch In icon to time stretch the image to the left of the pointer.
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide Applying auto quality enhancements Premiere Elements provides a number of effects that enable you to quickly enhance the quality of a clip. • Auto Color adjusts color levels and contrast, limiting the overall range of black and white pixels. It can quickly improve many clips. • Auto Contrast sharpens the overall contrast—the difference between light and dark colors—without introducing or removing color casts.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Editing multiple clips You can edit multiple clips by first selecting them in the Timeline and then applying one or more of the following commands. Apply default transition to multiple clips Apply effects to multiple clips Change the speed and duration of multiple clips in one operation Adjust audio gain for multiple clips To apply effects or transitions to multiple clips: 1. In the My Project panel, click Timeline.
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide Using Freeze Frame to export images At times, you may want to extract a still image from a video. You can do so by using the Freeze Frame command. To export an image: 1. In the Timeline, drag the current-time indicator to the frame you want to capture (Figure 29). 2. Click the Freeze Frame button. The Freeze Frame dialog box opens (Figure 30). 3. Click the Export button. 4. Browse for a location to store the image and enter a name for it.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide How to add transitions By using transitions, you can phase out one clip while phasing in the next, or you can stylize the beginning or end of a single clip. A transition can be as subtle as a cross dissolve or quite emphatic, such as a page turn (Figure 1) or spinning pinwheel.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Where to access transitions Available transitions are listed in the Edit workspace in the Tasks panel (Figure 4) and are organized into two main categories, Video Transitions and Audio Transitions. Video transitions have corresponding animated thumbnails that show how they affect clips. Select a transition to set its thumbnail in motion.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Transition appearance in the Sceneline and the Timeline In the Sceneline, a transition appears as a rectangle between two clips. In the Timeline, a transition appears just above the cut between two clips, or just above the In or Out point of a single clip (Figure 5).
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide To apply a double-sided transition in the Sceneline: 1. Open an Adobe Premiere Elements project and confirm the Sceneline is open. 2. In the Tasks panel, click Edit, and then click the Transitions button to open the Transitions view. 3. From the menus in the Transitions view, select Video Transitions, and then select the category containing the transition you want to apply (Figure 7). 4.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Applying a double-sided transition in the Timeline To apply a transition between two clips in the Timeline the clips must be on the same track, with no space between them. If a double-sided transition must use repeated frames (rather than trimmed frames), the transition icon contains additional diagonal lines. The lines span the area where it has used the repeated frames. To apply a double-sided transition in the Timeline: 1.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide To apply a single-sided transition in the Sceneline: 1. In the Tasks panel, click Edit, and then click Transitions. Properties 2. In the My Projects panel, click Sceneline. 3. From the menus in the Transitions view, select Video Transitions, and then select the category containing the transition you want to apply. 4. Do one of the following: If the clip has no clip adjacent to one side of it, drag the transition to the transition rectangle on that side of the clip.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Applying a single-sided transition in the Timeline When you create a single-sided transition, whatever is below the transition in the Timeline appears in the transparent portion of the transition. For example, if you want the clip to transition to black, it must be on track 1 or have no clips beneath it. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the clip on the lower track appears in the transition, so the transition will appear to be double-sided.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide Previewing a transition prior to applying it Animated thumbnails in the Transitions view enable you to preview any transition without having to apply it to a clip. To preview a transition before you apply it: 1. In the Tasks panel, click Edit, and then click Transitions. 2. Click a thumbnail to set it in motion (Figure 13).
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 guide To preview an applied transition: 1. Select the transition in the Timeline. 2. In the Transitions view of the Tasks panel, click the Edit Transition button. 3.
