Hey guys, I am using After Effects 7.0 but I can't seem to hear any sound when I playback the timeline. The audio track is there and there is a dropdown arrow for it, but I can't hear anything. It's quite frustrating - does anyone know if there are settings or options to mute the audio or does anyon...

Yeah I have. I think I might know how I can do what I want actually, I'll jsut set the background to loop forever, and then I'll create my animation in AE which will be transperant so the background will still be looping in the background

Hey everyone, Does anyone know if there is a way to network render in Adobe Premiere 2.0? I know that After Effects supports network rendering but I've read that Premiere does not natively support this? Are there third-party plugins, applications that would let me set up a render farm so I could ren...

oh ok thanks for the tip. well what about alternatives to detonationfilms.com? like stock footage for special effects?

oh ok. i have tried a google search but most of them are either cr@p quality or you have to pay for them so i thought i would ask seeing as you movie-making people might know some good sites already.

Yeah that is a pretty good website. I was thinking more sort of other types of stock footage? Like Detonationfilms has really good resources for explosions, gun shots etc but what about things like nature, cars, visualisations, weather, etc.

Hey does anyone know some good stock footage websites?

I've heard about
detonationfilms.com and videocopilot.net but I was wondering if you guys know of any other websites with good resources like that?

Cheers guys, I hope to make my productions better with your help

Hey guys, Does anyone know how I can make a animated DVD menu using After Effects and Encore?

Hey guys, Does anyone know how I can make that time lapse effect of cars driving down the highway at night and all you see is a red line or white line (back and front lights) zooming past as all the cars drive past? Does premirer have the ability to do this or is there a plugin available? How do I c...

Lol cheers guys for your replies. I was thinking about maybe a burglary and it's like a build up while the burglars (there can be two) try to find the door and then once they break in through the door a frying pan comes flying down and whacks him in the head while he goes rolling down the stairs? Wh...

Hey does anyone know if Adobe Premiere has any optioni to make auto crossfades (ie. if you drag one clip on to another it automatically crossfades instead of cutting one of the clips)?

Something like what Sony Vegas does.

Hey guys,
The script doesn't HAVE to have "You're such a cottonmouth" in it. I'm open to any suggestions for a 2 minute video!

Hey guys, I have a project that I'm working on at the moment but I just can't think of a storyline/script. It only has to be 2 minutes (max!) and my brief is: - Include the line: "Your such a cottonmouth" - A Frying Pan must be used somewhere in your film - The theme is "Home" Th...

oh ok. i am looking for scripts that i can turn into movies. lol

Hey guys,
Does anyone know of a website where people submit free scripts (even just short film scripts) for other people to use? Like the sort of people who want to see their work come to life?

If anyone knows of such sites, let me know.

Hey does anyone know how to customise the dimensions of your project and the frames per second when you're setting up a project. I can only choose between NTSC and PAL and the video dimensions boxes are greyed out under the custom tab. What I want to do is edit a 15fps 320x240 video taken with my di...

i am using adobe premiere pro 2

does film in 24fps make a noticable difference? like does it make it seem more grand or something?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering, does anyone know what they do when they produce movies, commercials etc. to make the video look more smooth and make the skin tones nice and peachy? Like I was watching this behind the scenes for a music video and when they were doing the filming, the skin of the ...

why does the file of the video increase if you convert from MPEG to AVI? How does the video become higher quality from MPEG?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering why is AVI video so large in file size compared to Quicktime and MPEG?
