You must do two things to target the track or tracks you want to be the destination.
First, highlight (by selecting) the track or tracks you want to be the destination; then,
target the track by dragging the source track indicator to the desired track. This may

y to enhance the edges of a clip is to add a bevel. This type of effect
is useful on a picture-in-picture effect or on text. Adobe Premiere Pro offers two
bevels to choose from. The Bevel Edges effect is useful when the object is simply a

detect the complex transparent areas within before applying the beveled edge.

effect also adds the skew and skew axis properties to create a visual angular transformation
to clips. Lastly, the Transform effect is not a Mercury Engine accelerated
effect, so it will take longer to process and does not offer as much real-time
performance.
Lets compare the two effects by examining a prebuilt sequence.

to load it.

2 Play the sequence back and watch it a few times.
In both cases, a picture-in-picture is rotating twice over the background clip,
while moving from left to right. Look carefully at the relationship of the shadow
to each pair of clips.
In the clips on the left, the shadow follows the bottom edge of the PIP and
therefore appears on all four sides of the clip as it rotates, which obviously
isnt realistic because the light source produces the shadow and it isnt
moving.

is realistic.
3 Click the top clip of the set on the left, and view the effects applied in the Effect
Controls panel: the Motion fixed effect and Drop Shadow effect.
Adobe Premiere Pro Cs6 ClAssroom in A book 227
4 Now do the same for the pair on the right; youll see that the Transform effect
is producing the motion, with the Drop Shadow effect again producing the
shadow.
In the screen comparison shown here, you can see that the Transform effect
has many of the same capabilities as the Motion fixed effect but also adds Skew,
Skew Axis, and Shutter Angle. As you just saw, the Transform effect also works
more realistically with the Drop Shadow effect than the Motion fixed effects.
5 Observe the render bar above both sets of clips. If you have a Mercury Engine
compatible graphics card in your system, youll note that the render bar is
yellow on the left and red on the right.
This tells you that the Motion effect is GPU-accelerated, which makes
previewing and rendering more efficient, while the Transform effect isnt.
Basic 3D
Another option for creating movement is the Basic 3D effect, which can be used
to manipulate a clip in 3D space. Essentially, you can rotate the image around
horizontal and vertical axes as well as move it toward or away from you. Youll also
find an option to enable a specular highlight, which creates the appearance of light
reflecting off a rotated surface.
Lets explore the effect by using a prebuilt sequence.
1 In the Project panel, locate the sequence 07 Basic 3D, and double-click to load it.
2 Drag the playhead over the sequence to quickly view the content.
228 lesson 9 Putting Clips in motion
The light that follows the motion, called a specular highlight, always comes from
above, behind, and to the left of the viewer. Since the light comes from above,
you wont see the effect until the image is tilted backward to catch the reflection.
Specular highlights can be used to enhance the realism of the 3D effect.
Four major properties are available to enhance the Basic 3D effect:
Swivel: This controls the rotation around the vertical y-axis. If you rotate
past 90, the back side of the image is rendered, which is a mirror image of
the front.
Tilt: This controls the rotation around a horizontal x-axis. If you rotate
beyond 90, the back side will also be visible.
Distance To Image: This moves the image along the z-axis and can simulate
depth. As the distance value gets larger, the image moves further into the
distance.
Specular Highlight: This adds a glint of light that reflects off the surface of
the rotated image, as though an overhead light were shining on the surface.
This option is either on or off.
3 Experiment with the available options for the effect and modify any of the
keyframes to see the impact of change.
P Note: Not only does
Basic 3D provide GPU
acceleration, but it can
also swivel and tilt in
both directions.

review questions
1 Which Motion parameter will move a clip in the frame?
2 You want a clip to appear full-screen for a few seconds and then spin away. How do
you make the Motion effects Rotation feature start within a clip rather than at the
beginning?
3 How can you start an object rotating gradually and have it stop rotating slowly?
4 If you want to add a drop shadow to a clip, why do you need to use some other
motion-related effect besides the Motion fixed effect?
review answers
1 The Motion parameter lets you set a new position for a clip. If keyframes are used, the
effect can be animated.
2 Position the playhead where you want the rotation to begin, and click the Add/Remove
Keyframe button. Then move to where you want the spinning to end, and change the
Rotation parameter; another keyframe will appear.
3 Use the Ease Out and Ease In parameters to change the keyframe interpolation to be
gradual rather than sudden.
4 The Motion fixed effect is the last effect applied to a clip. Motion takes whatever
effects you apply before it (including Drop Shadow) and spins the entire assemblage
as a single unit. To create a realistic drop shadow on a spinning object, use Transform
or Basic 3D, and then place a Drop Shadow below one of those effects in the Effect
Controls panel.

Lesson overview
In this lesson, youll learn about the following:
Synchronizing clips based on sync points
Adding clips to a sequence
Getting started
In this lesson, youll learn how to edit multiple angles of footage together that were
shot simultaneously. Because the clips were shot at the same time, Adobe Premiere
Pro CS6 makes it possible to cut seamlessly from one angle to another. The Adobe
Premiere Pro multicamera editing feature is a tremendous timesaver when youre
editing footage from a shoot or event captured with multiple cameras.
For this lesson, youll use a new project that has already been started.
1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro, and open the project Lesson 10.prproj. If Adobe
Premiere Pro cant locate the lesson file, refer to Relink the lesson files in the
Getting Started section at the start of this book for two ways to search for and
relink the file.
