In CS3....create a new project with the 4:3 settings. Import your 16:9
Project into that new 4:3 project. Then either drag your 16:9 sequence onto
the 4:3 timeline - or copy and paste all the clips in the 16:9 sequence into
the 4:3 sequence.
In CS4 you can create sequences of different formats in the same projec |

My Method of Learning CS3 Keyboard Shortcuts |
|
|
First - learn the right terminology. Liquid has it's own, and so does CS3.
some examples...
Next Event in Liquid is Next Edit Point in CS3
|
|
|
Learn how to switch back and forth between different panels -
this keeps you from always having to grab the mouse:
shift +3 = timeline
Shift +2 = source viewer |
|
|
Learn the Selection Tool shortcuts |
|
|
 |
 |
V Selection Tool- this is the general mode you will work in moving
around the timeline
A -Track Select - this lets you select ALL the clips after the playline
or CTI (Current timeline indicator) for the current selected tracks. A
<shift>A lets you select ALL CLIPS on ALL Tracks.
U - Slide Tool |
|
|
Use keyboard shortcuts for moving around on the timeline
 I
like to use the up and down arrow keys combined alone or combined with the
Shift, Ctrl and ALt keys to do a lot of timeline and editing
movements.
If you are used to up down arrows GROWING / SHRINKING your
timeline in Liquid - those keys are preset in CS3 and are unchangeable (they
are used to move back and forth along the timeline) - so I
choose SHIFT+up or SHIFT+dn instead.
|
|
|
| |
Left |
UP
|
DOWN |
RIGHT |
| None |
moves CTI 1 frame to the left |
ZOOM in (Grows) timeline |
Zoom out (Shrinks) timeline |
moves CTI 1 frame forward |
| SHIFT |
moves CTI 5 frames to the left |
|
|
moves CTI 5 frame forward |
| CTRL |
moves CTI to Previous Edit Point |
Razor Cut |
Ripple Delete |
moves CTI to NEXT Edit Point |

Action -
They will not be

Move an Audio Clip that is out of sync (an imported M2V video
and audio clip (seperate)) |
|
|

Wjhat is a ripple delete - delete selected clip and roll down the
timeline
New Sequence - File / New
In Liquid, going to the next event is the next clip or
clip mark or timeline mark.
In CS3 - there is no NEXT EVENT - but moving about is
broken into 4 distinct types of markers
- Timeline Marks
- Encore Marks
- Edit Points ( beginning and ending of any clip)
- Clip Marks (marks on individual clips)
go the next clip (edit point) on
timeline (pg up / pg dn)
go to next clip marker (ctrl+shift+->) (WITHIN A CLIP ONLY)
go to the next sequence marker (ctrl + ->)
|
|
|
INSERT vs OVERLAY mode in Liuqid, you would choose one
or the other - and probably switch back and forth between modes as you
edited (as well as activating/deactivating tracks) - depending on the task
you were doing. If you were insert editing or moving clips around, you
would generallty be in INSERT mode with all tracks activated.
In Premiere - you are always in OVERLAY mode - unless you tell it
differntly. |

Changing Default Transition |
| |
|
|
|
To change the transition used (defaults to
"Cross Dissolve GPU"), copy the transition of choice to a Rack, select it,
CTRL-Right click on it and select "Set as System Object" then "EDL Default
DVE". This object is then used instead. Note: version 5 does not have this
feature |

|
|
|
If you want an edit to fit into the
timeline, either to replace existing clips (overwrite) or to expand the
existing timeline (filmstyle), set an in and out on the timeline and then
set an in on the clip in the Source Viewer (that's a three point edit), make
sure your track for delivery is active and set as the video track, make sure
your playline is where you want the insert, and click |

1. Segments containing clips have to be contiguous
2. Set an In and Out marker on the timeline to include all the clips
3. Make sure only the tracks that the clips are on are active (they
have to be contiguous tracks).
4. Create a container
5. Add the effect to the container. |

Renaming a project |
| |
|
|
|
You want to to rename a project - but with Liquid's file
structure you are not quite sure how to do it. When you want your project to have a different name use "Save a copy",
save it under the name you want,
and then open the copy. |

Effects & Transitions
<top of page> |
|
|
Watch Avid's Promo - Great for seeing the use of multiple transitions /
effects changing on the beat of the Music - it is the first part of this
stream - goes about 3 minutes.
|
|
|
and
Watch Marcelo Traverso
M's (MTM) "Coffee" Promo -
again - great use of transitions / effects - starts about 29:15 and
goes to 32:00 - about 3 minutes - about 2/3's down the timeline of the
stream - doesn't take long to find.
|
|
|
Watch
Digital Juice's DJTV series - particularly the Field of View,
TAKE 5 and PRODUCTION NOTES series - you will see DJ transistions talked
about as well as demonstrated in the actual productions.

|

|
Type your text
with a weird color on a black background, bring it over the video and key the
text color out, make a movie and then apply over the final video by keying the
black color out.
Just a quick way to do it. |
