Automatic Range Rescaling

[deanas59911777]

Hi, can anybody explain to me what automatic range rescaling is? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I'm working on a multicam sequence of a live event and am digitally zooming / scaling / panning as I go but when I apply a scale or postion modification to the current cut of the sequence, it rescales everything to the right on the time line.  Currently I am either cutting and pasting attributes from an earlier clip or typing over and tabbing through position and scale values so I was looking for a way to quickly revert my scale and position values back to the default 1920x1080@100%. When you twirl down under Video Effects (Motion) for Position and Scale you see a check box that, when you hover over it, says: "toggle automatic range rescaling" I was hoping that this might help me solve my problem but I'm also curious to see what it is.  Any ideas?

Automatic Range Rescaling - In short it fits the graph values in view... for example you to see the graph of value going from 0 at frame 0 to 400 px at frame 100 than automatic range Rescaling will Auto fit the graph line in the view.

I just made a quick video to explain the Automatic Range Rescaling and also tried to answer the second part of your question - Premiere Pro - Automatic range Rescaling - YouTube

Hi Vishuagg. To be truthful, you have also introduced me to the scaling graph which I haven't used before. Thank you very much for your answer.

I recommend doing all the editing first, and applying effects second.

Hi Jim,

yes that makes sense. I am working on 2+ hour long stage workshops with Powerpoint slide/image overlays (PIP) so that would mean going through the whole thing twice for the first rough edit but it may be worth trying this as an alternative workflow. What I often do now is just put in a random cut down the track a bit that I can slide along later as needed. Thanks for your answer.

I do recommend a minimum of two passes for multicam work.  Once in realtime making the cuts as you go, a second pass for tweaking the cuts you just made.  Over years of cutting weddings, dance recitals and plays, I've found this to be the most efficient work flow by far.
