Thanks for the responses. It sounds like mixed audio will work!

Audio Editing in Premiere
 

Okay, here's another newbie question regarding audio editing in Premiere.

BackGround: Say you have DV footage with 2 distinct voices. Like maybe a person talking and then an animal making noises in the background.

Question: Is it possible in premiere to edit the audio to remove only the sound for the person talking and keep all other sound in the DV footage? I tried using the Notch/Hum filter but it didn't seem to work. That's probably not suitable in the case. If it's not possible in premiere is it possible at all? If so, can most audio editors take care of this?

White Balance correction in Premiere?
 

Okay, so I have DV footage that I took with White Balance all screwed up. Can White Balance be corrected in post using Premiere or After Affects? I have both...can somebody send me directions?

Audio isn't one of Premiere's strong suits. You best bet is to export the audio track and try to do it in some other audio application like Cool Edit Pro or Pro Tools

Can you export the audio from DV footage (in Premiere) in .wav format or something suitable for most audio apps?

I think Premiere has some basic color correction tools (I haven't
looked at these yet). After Effects (especially the production
bundle version) has some very good color correction tools
available to do all sort of things. Try out a demo version of the
product! Always best to try and get the result (as close as
possible) your looking for whilst filming ofcourse.

Good luck!

Yes you can. Export timeline -> Audio.

thanks. missed that one.

Thanks. I do have a full copy of after effects 5.5 production bundle but haven't tried it extensively yet.

Actually, i haven't even tried to import premiere footage but I'll probably be able to figure that out. I just haven't gotten around to that yet. I'll post more questions if I have trouble.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. It's for exactly the reason you need it. Thanks for that Rob.

Poor Playback Quality in DV Playback
 

When I capture video through my XL1s (PAL) and Panasonic Mini DV Player (NTSC) into Premiere. I get these Horizontal Lines that only get worse after I Render my work. The Lines appear mostly in Action Sequence or Bright Areas. Now I capture the same footage through DAZZLE 2 and it looks fine. Can Anyone help me???
I'm using a SONY VAIO which is running on WINDOWS 2000. I took off Windows XP that came with the computer. Didn't like it much...

Importing a Premiere project is very easy. Just open the project
in AE. It will automatically recognize it as a Premiere file and load
it correctly. The only thing it will not do is make transitions and
fades for you. There will be filters created for these, but they do
not seem to do anything at all.

I am suspecting that you are referring to interlacing lines. Does
this primarely happen when you either movie the camera or
something else is moving around? If so, you should only see this
on your PC and not on a TV. This is perfectly normal. If you are
going for a web/PC release instead of a TV you need to either
de-interlace your movie or lower your resolution. The last one
will probably be the best since you probably want to do that
anyways for a PC or WEB delivery. If you are going to release
to TV or DVD you can stay in the interlaced domain if you want.

Rob....

what you need is a product called Video Finesse available from Synthetic Aperture. This is a software based proc amp, vector analyzer and waveform monitor. It will allow you to do some amazing things to adjust your color, including black pedestal, knee and gamma. Video Finesse is a plug-in for Premier.

Thanks Bill! I will check it out.
