'The Fragile' looks like [this] in Premiere Pro 7. (w/'overview' and 'zoomed in')



The Fragile

[intro her]
[credits, symbols]
She shines (reconstruction overlay statue?)
In a world full of ugliness (her arrival ship destruction)

[intro conflict]
She matters [fifth element symbol, blend to statue, blend to screaming upsidedown]
When everything [book] is meaningless [prayers, death]

[intro her]
Fragile (glass case, punching)
She doesn't (bust through glass) see her beauty
She tries (slip down) to get away (dive out)

[intro him]
Sometimes (corbin intro)
It's just that nothing (picture) seems worth saving (palms to wall)
I can't watch her slip away [diving out]

[meet cute]
I won't let you fall apart [fall to hit taxi]
I won't let you fall apart [greeting in taxi]
I won't let you fall apart [police approach]
I won't let you fall apart [away from police]

[conflict external v. internal]
She reads the minds (diva fight inital)
of all the people (ass kick, zorg approach)
as they pass her by (leap up, shooting)
Hoping someone will see (hiding)

If I could fix myself, i'd...[gun to corbin head]
But it's too late for me (stares at her)

[show them parallel]
I won't let you fall apart (reconcile)
I won't let you fall apart (corbinfight, intersperse leeloo hurt)
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart [shot to head negotiation]

[show them complement]
We'll find the perfect place [reach]
to go where we can run and hide [warm->cool]

I'll build a wall (in ship)
and we can keep them on the other side
But they keep waiting...(id)
And picking...(fighting)

And picking...
And picking...(various hurts)
And picking...(shadow forming)

>>And picking...
And picking...
And picking...[war]
And picking...(fade to explosion, inital blast of shadow)

*eyes wide* Your screenshots just scared the crap out of me. Er.

Are the clips-on-more-than-one-layer where you faded one into the next?

[permetaform]

...I thought this was backdated. ::goes back to check:: er.

how odd. ::pokes at LJ::

okay, first?

::hugs:: END product. END. I started out with three video streams and plunked more on top when I ran out of room.

and I'm not quite sure what your referring to but that first clip where you see the "fifth element" cover and a cross dissolve and the "symbols.avi" under it? Yeah, that's when they fade into each other.

The cross dissolve when you have to clips next to each other give annoying and unexpected results and I hate it.

There's a better way to control dissolves I learned from sisabet if you want to control the rate of it and you can see it at 1:32 with that yellow line and the dots on it? Those are rubberbands and keyframes. Those buttons under "Video 4" does that, play around with them a bit and they're fairly self explanatory...
