I'm trying to edit some more helmet camera footage using Adobe Premiere PRO CS3. I'm trying to figure out a few basic things. I've never used this app until yesterday so I'm really on the ground floor right now. If anybody here is familiar with this app you'd save me a lot of trouble if you could point me in the right direction on a couple things.
I figured out how to edit the length, add titles, transitions, etc.
What I haven't figured out yet is how to change the size/resolution of the video. I can set the resolution of the new project but then my vid just appears with black borders around it. I want to re-size the source vid.
Also, even if I do nothing but chop the vid to make it shorter, the quality is effected. It never looks as good as the raw footage and the sound is usually delayed. I tried turning off the compression. I don't know maybe I didn't do it right.
There's some good tutorials out there but they neglect some of the really basic stuff. This isn't the most intuitive app in the world. It's pretty damn confusing when you first get into it.
