sounds a bit too much like Pokemon or Yu-gi-ho type stuff.

The main cost for myself are props Yeah, that's a big expense for myself as well. My last two films cost me under $1000, like $800-ish, and the one I'm just finishing up pre-production with has already cost me around $1700, equipment and such, and there's still more expenses to come. That's nothing...

music would have enhanced it more, but yeah, quick and sweet if you will. It's not everyday you see a little girl with a loaded weapon...kind of freaked me out.

This fits in with our attitude of making films where we can have a laugh in the process but improve on the previous one.

Amen.

Oh yeah you can do that in Premiere. All you have to do is go to the top menu bar, go to windows, show audio effects -- when that little box pops up with all the nifty effects, go to "Reverb and Delay". In that sub menu you can just drag say, the reverb, from the box and over your audio cl...

hi, well, I've been saving up my money and I'm thinking of either getter the Canon Opture Xi or maybe even the GL-2 model, but whatever, what I need to know is where I could get a compatible boom mic for either of those models, if that matters, but also where I can find one for cheap. Any ideas? Tha...

I just bought a copy of Adobe Encore DVD 1.0 and I'm still figuring it out. I've been testing my finalized DVD and I've encountered some problems and I was wondering if anyone has had these same ones and managed to fix them. Okay, so I lay out my menu, let's say on the second scene selection page. I...

I selected DVD creation, but it went to scripts? Whatever, that's besides the point, I need some help!

so I won't be able to keep it mpeg?

Well, I had to encode my movie in separate parts, because it wouldn't complete the whole project, and besides I figured that I could just match up the parts and combine them as one again in Adobe Encore 1.0. But, when I try to pull multiple mpeg files into a timeline that already has an mpeg file th...

well, the movie I'm finishing up is primarily guitar scores. The old zombie movies like Day of the Dead tended to use a lot of electric guitar riffs and such, but not necessarily a full guitar score. That's a good question really. Now my mind is blank...

Okay, I encoded the movie in chunks and it worked. I was saving it in the external hard drive however, which you suggest may have been the reason it was locking up. I'll try saving it on the local disk.


Thanks for all of your feedback.

okay, so my post-production is complete for my new film, but it won't encode! I bought an external hard drive to separate my video and program files, and still, everytime I try to encode something with Premiere's Adobe MPEG encoder it always works for a bit then that "Adobe has encountered a pr...

this is true

Well, I created some blood to use that wouldn't stain clothes, and it washes off easily. I still use food coloring, both red and green. I also added milk, chocolate milk powder mix, and karo corn syrup. The final ingredient -- laundry detergent. When you make it, and in your case this will be easy, ...

the same thing has happened to me...but I just changed the format to DV AVI and it works then. Perhaps it is an issue with disk space, or memory? Try emailing premiere techinal support and see what they have to say.

Hey good news, I managed to find a disc that had most of the work saved on it. I'll just work on it from there. Thanks for the advice though, I do need to defragment my hard drive now that I think about it.

it did work before, and I haven't deleted anything that would have messed anything up. I haven't even installed anything new either.

It is an existing project.

I've tried everything and it still won't open...

This doesn't look good.

I'm just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone: I tried to open a project today and everytime it gets about halfway loaded that "Adobe Premiere needs to close" box pops up and ends the program. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it doesn't seem to have fixed anythin...

Well, you know how premiere has that adobe encoder option under export to...etc. You see, mine doesn't for some reason and I'm just wondering if I can buy Encore to encode an Adobe Premiere Project File through Encore and not premiere... If not, does anyone no any good MPEG encoders available for do...

Hey, I'm interested. I'd like to try it out. I've got a scene where it is raining, but you can't really see it, so this could work perfect. Please email me the files if you get a chance. Thanks.

I'm thinking of getting Adobe encore to create DVDs but I can't seem to understand something. On Adobe's home site they write that it can convert video files to MPEG-2. So, technically then, is there a way to just take an Adobe premiere project file and convert it right there through that program, o...

Try searching this site www.findsounds.com Or find a bell, slow it down, add some reverb, and play around with the bass and treble settings and see if you can create something you like. Those are all common effects in premiere, but if you don't have premiere, try downloading a trial version of some ...

What? $10 isn't quite a bit of money? Roast beef sandwich?
