Here are the steps that you need to follow to track an object in a video clip: Step #1: The first thing you need to do is to import your video clip to the timeline. Step #2: Make sure that you have your video clip selected. Then, just select Motion Tracking. You can find it in the Action bar, on Tools tab. Step #3: Click on Select Object. Short exposure time-lapse uses a faster shutter speed to expose film to light for a brief period. By doing this, the movement is given a stop-motion look, perfect for filming animals, sports, or other fast-moving objects without capturing unnecessary blur. Motion Tracking gives you the ability to track moving objects in a video clip. You can attach clipart like still images, graphics, or video clips to these objects. To track an object in a video clip, follow these steps: Import your video clip to the timeline. Select the clip. In the action bar.

Getting the right portions of selected clips from one sequence to another is simple in Premiere Pro using the ‘Lift’ & ‘Extract’ options. Here’s how to use this timesaving tool.

Sometimes it’s useful to seperate cameras into sequences of their own to simply the editing process. You may want to put all the media clips from one camera end-to-end in a single sequence and call it “Camera 1”. Of course, this may result in multiple sequences each representing different cameras.

The question then is how to grab footage from each of these sequences and bring them into a master sequence for the main edit. You could select clips and cut/paste them into the master sequence, but more often than not you don’t want whole clips. Instead, what you need is select portions of clips.

You could nest each of these sequences into the main sequence, but this is a very difficult way of working and not recommended.

This is where the “Lift and Extract” option comes into play in Premiere Pro. In this post, we’ll take a look at how to use Lift and Extract, a quick way of moving portions of clips around from one sequence to another. Before we start, it’s worth noting that some people don’t like to have a work area bar and a time ruler in the sequence/timeline window and just like to work with IN and OUT points. Did you know you can turn both of them off in Premiere Pro CS6? Just go to the panel menu and un-check these options.

The end result is that your timeline looks like this (you don’t have to do it, but it certainly leads to a cleaner looking timeline):

Now, it’s just a case of going through your footage with the sequence selected and choosing IN (shortcut is i) and OUT (shortcut is o) points in the TIMELINE of the ‘camera’ sequences. This can include as much or as little of the clips as you’d like, and doesn’t have to be complete clips.
