Highlight/color elements in video, add arrows ?

Sep 25, 2012 6:16 AM

Tags: #color #arrows #highlight #anatomic

Hi all

 

This is my first time posting here so bare with me. I'm new to Premiere (noob) and my knowledge is close to sea bottom, but I am ambitious .

 

I was given a project by my university which is due at the end of the next month. What am I trying to achieve? I have a 3 minutes video, which I have to edit so to highlight/color several elements in it. It is a surgery recording (abdominal surgery), so vessels, nerves and other anatomic structures have to be colored/marked. Arteris in red, veins in blue and I have to insert a few arrows so to identify the respective elements. I've rummaged the internet/youtube and couldn't find what I was looking for.

 

Can you guys give me a helping hand? This project has come to a stall because of my incapacity to work in Premiere (CS4).

 

Thank you in advance

    We were all "new," at one time, or another.

     

    Here are two articles, that might prove helpful. They take different tracks (no pun intended), but can do essentially the same thing - call out certain aspects/objects in your Video.

     

    Creating an arrow, etc. : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/759605?tstart=60

    Highlighting a moving object with Track Matte Keying: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575874#4575874

     

    Hope that those help, and good luck,

    Thank you for your help. It was very helpful.

     

    One more thing. Can a slow motion effect be added just to a segment of a video, let's say from 20:15 to 24:40 time frame? I've added the slowmo effect, but it gets added to the entire video.

     

    Thank you.

    I have not tried what you are doing, but you might look into the difference between the WAB (Work Area Bar) and setting IN--OUT points

    Have a look at the Time Remapping effect in the Effect Controls or

    cut the part you want to slomo

    put it a track higher

    add slomo (change the Speed)

    fit it back into original track by shifting everything to the right.
