Title By Using Template



This is an example of an template title, which means that I used an already-arranged title, which was created by the premiere program. You might use this kind of title when you want to save time on creating the title. This allows you to already have a background and design already made; all you do is type in the name of the title. This also lets you use a higher-quality looking type of title.

Custom- Full Screen Title



This is an example of an custom-full-screened title, which means I am able to choose whichever color background, type of font, and word placing I want. This also means that my title will appear and end before my actual clip begins,instead of during the play-time of the clip. You might use this kind of title when you don't want to distract your audience from any of the action of your clip. This type of title seems more like a grand entrance.

Overlay Lower-Thirds Title



This is an example of an Overlay title, which means the title of the clip appears while the clip is playing, and should end before the clip ends. You might use this kind of title when you are sure the title will not completely distract the viewer from the whole clip. Perhaps when the clip is showing something that does not have much action in it.

Editing Clips in the Timeline: Deleting, Lifting & Extracting Clips Workshop



A simple cut in the timeline means that you right-click the clip you want to remove, and select "Cut". When you cut, the other clips in the timeline remain, but the space where the clip you cut is left, empty.
A ripple edit is when you delete a selected clip, and no gap is left behind, in between your other remaining clips. You do this by right-clicking on the clip you want to remove, and clicking "Ripple Edit". When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip shift over, leaving no gap in between the clips. The remaining clips close up the gap where the deleted clip previously was.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to delete portions of clips, yet keep the remaining parts at one time. To do this, you select in and out points (the portion you want to delete), on your selected clip. You then click on the "Lift" button on the program panel to delete your selected portion, AND leave a gap. To delete a selected portion of a clip and shift the other clips over, you select your in and out points, and then select the "Extract" button on the program panel.
Lifting is like a "Cut" in the timeline, while extracting is like a "Ripple Edit" in the timeline, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an extracting edit. I decided to extract the two clips where I did because I thought it would allow the clips to flow a little better together, instead of having unnecessary time in the videos where nothing extremely important was going on.

Overlay and Instert Edit Workshop



This is an example of an Overlay edit. An Overly edit places a clip over another, taking out the clip it goes over. To do this, you drag the first clip and put it over the part of the second clip that you want to take out. I decided to overly the part the 2nd clip where I did because I thought it would be a good place to put the first clip instead. It gave more of a suspensful effect, and deleted some unecessary parts of the second clip.



This is an example of an Insert edit. An Insert edit places a clip in the second clip without deleting any part of the second clip. To do this, you drag the first selected clip and drag it where you want it to appear in the second clip. It goes in between two parts of the second clip.It does not delete any part of the second clip, like Overlay does. I decided to place the part of the first clip into the 2nd clip where I did because it added a break from the part of the video where the horse was running. Yet, none of the second clip was deleted.

The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is with overlay,you place your first clip over part of your second clip, and that part of the second clip is deleted. With insert, it allows you to place your first clip into your second, without deleting any part of you second clip.
You would use an overlay when you want to substitute part of your second clip with your first clip, while you’d use an insert edit when you want to just add the first clip to the second clip. In this case the insert edit works better because it allows you to add your first clip to your second clip, without deleting any of your second clip.
