Chapter 1 ✦ Premiere Quickstart

5. To complete the edit, click the Apply button.

Adding another dissolve

Now create another transition — this time between the Diners clip and the Chefs clip.

1. Open the Dissolve folder in the Transition palette.

2. Drag the cross-dissolve transition into the Transition channel between

tracks Video 1A and Video 1B.

3. Use the Selection tool to tighten the edits so that about one second of the

flag appears during the beginning of the dissolve, and one second of the

cloud appears at the end of the dissolve. If desired, you can stretch the

length of the dissolve by clicking and dragging on either edge of the Dissolve

Clip icon.

Adding the last title

Your next step is to add the end title to the Video 2 track.

1. Drag the TheEnd title image from the Project window to Video 2 track.

Position the Title clip so that it begins about 2 seconds before the end of the

Chefs clip in the Video 1A track.

2. Drag the clip’s end point to make its duration 3 seconds long or select the

Title and choose Clip ➪ Duration. In the Clip Duration Dialog box, set the dis-

play to 00;00;03;00 and click OK.

3. Fade the title text in and out as you did for the opening title. Use Figure 1-6

as a reference.

Previewing the fade-in

Now, you only need to preview the fade-in effect, without previewing the entire pro-

duction. As mentioned earlier, the yellow bar above the Timeline indicates just

which area will be previewed. As you work, you can preview just the new effects

that you want to see.

Here’s how to change the area that is previewed:

1. Scroll in the Timeline so that only the title area appears in the middle of

the window.

2. Double-click in the Timeline preview area (the yellow area above the

Timeline). The yellow Timeline preview area shrinks to the width of the cur-

rent window.

3. Using the mouse, drag the left end of the Timeline preview to the left so

that it begins just before the Title clip appears in the Timeline.

4. Drag the right end of the Timeline preview so that it ends just after the end

of the Title sequence.
