Summary (Generated from Transcript)
In this lesson, the instructor explains how to export a video frame as a still image in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. He also demonstrates how to create variable speed changes in a video clip using time remapping.
Q&A:
How can you export a video frame as a still image in Adobe Premiere Pro CC?
You can click on the camera button or hit Shift+E to export the frame as a still image. A dialog box will appear asking you to name the file and choose the format (JPEG, TIFF, or PNG).
How can you import the exported still image back into the project?
After exporting the still image, you can click on the "import into project" button to import it back into the project.
How can you maintain transparency in the exported still image?
If you have transparency in your timeline and want to maintain it in the exported still image, you should export it as a PNG file.
How can you create variable speed changes in a video clip?
You can use the time remapping feature in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. By right-clicking on the clip and selecting "time remapping", you can add keyframes to control the speed changes. You can also split the keyframes to create gradual speed changes.
How can you reset all the speed changes and start over?
You can click on the stopwatch icon next to the time remapping option to delete all the keyframes and reset the speed changes.

Speed Changes: Stills And Variable Speeds
There are instances where either you need to export a video frame as a still image because you need to use it in another program or maybe you want to just use the freeze frame more freely within your show. So there's a couple ways to do that, there's actually a little button right here that looks like a camera. And if you click on that button or hit Shift E, it will export that and you'll get a dialog box when you do that, I'm going to hit Shift E, and the dialog box is asking you what do you want to call it, it will also ask you what format you want that to be in. So you can make it a JPEG or a TIFF or a PNG and by the way referencing a question from an earlier class, if you had something with transparency in your timeline, and wanted to export that out and maintain transparency in the image, export it out as a PNG that transparency information would go along with the freeze frame, so maybe you hit a title and you just want to shoot that out. It's very useful, we're going to go ahead ...
and we're going to do this as a JPEG. I'm going to hit one more button and that button says import into the project, so not only is this saved, and I should give it the proper name but I'm not going to for not 'cause it'll be deleted in a moment, when I hit OK it creates that as a pit file and then it imports that so I can go ahead and use it. Our PNG in this case and of course if you do need to find it and you didn't know where you put it, you can say Reveal in Finder and it'll locate it for you but this is another way maybe I want to use this as part of a graphic element later on in the show, so I just want to grab the freeze frame, it will also if I've stacked things up like we learned with the graphics, whatever's in that window and you say make a freeze frame or make a still image, it grabs everything, which is great if you want to do a sample from your show and say okay here's a piece of the title, take a look at it, do you like it, you want to send it off to your producer, very useful tool. Shift E for export or just hit the little camera button. I'm going to wrap up with variable speed. It's a very useful tool, we're going to actually do it again with the dancer, so I'm going to delete everything in my timeline, select all hit Delete, and let's find that shot again. The challenge of it being completely in black is you can't see it, there we go. So I have my shot here, going to go ahead bring in just the video and keep existing settings. So what I wanted to do here, let's go ahead and make sure she fits in our spot, set to frame size. Is I want this to go at a faster speed, it's going to slow down and then we'll do a faster speed again. So you can control a lot of your speed under the effects control, you might've seen it here underneath time wrapping and you will see the net effect but really to work with speed, I like to do it inside the timeline because I want to see how it relates to everything including my audio. So we saw in a previous lesson that if you see this little X there's controls you have, if I click on that, by right clicking, I can look at, we looked at motion key frames, I can look at my time remapping key frames, so I'm going to switch to that, click on it, now we see our time remapping, there it is. Let me go ahead and make this a little bit thicker. So this bar here is my time remapping and I'm going to zoom out just a little bit so you can still see and what I want to do is, I want it actually right here, I'm going to speed it up before so I'm going to put a key frame in and sometimes you do the reverse where you normal speed and then slow it down she's already slow, maybe we'll slow it a little bit more. I'm going to go ahead and put a key frame there by holding down the Command key. The Control key on Windows so you see that's the key frame it looks a little different and then what I want is her to pick up speed right about here, so again hold down the Command or Control key and I click and it creates key frame. So if I want this to go faster, before I grab this bar and you'll notice that if I go up it's going to move everything to the left because it happens quicker because I'm speeding it up. And then I could go over here and I'm going to zoom out a little bit so you can kind of see what's happening. So we're speeding up the back end, we're speeding up the front end. If I go ahead and I hit Play, actually not too fast, this is really slow but let's see we'll speed up. Ah she's pretty good there, but I'm going to really try to push it. This is just hard to grab. We'll fight with this just for a... There it is okay, speed that up okay. You'll also see that this is reflected up here. If I go down here and I open this up, there's my faster speed, this one's just being really difficult, there it goes hopefully. Doesn't want to speed up as quickly as I want but I want to show you one thing that you can do. These are very quick jumps from one speed to another, these little key frames here if you grab one side you can split them apart and what that will do is it will give you a gradual change from one speed to the next speed, so if you want things to gradually slow down or gradually speed up, that's how you would do it. You'll put the key frame in and then depending on how far apart you pull them would be how gradual or rapidly it changes speed and you can even kind of ramp that up a little bit if you look really closely, you have access to a handle that you can control. So it's a very quick overview of working with speed changes but you can do this and if you completely mess it up and trust me you will completely mess it up and you'll say I need to get back to normal, remember go back to the stopwatch, boom, click on the stopwatch, it'll delete all your key frames and you're ready to start all over again.

I've never even tried video editing before this class. I opened the program once and panicked. After only 9 lessons I was able to throw a short video together (basic of course, but still pretty cool). I wish all of my teachers growing up were just like Abba. He goes over everything without dragging anything on for too long. He repeats things just enough for me to actually remember them, and he is funny. He keeps it fun and shows that even he makes mistakes. I can't even believe how much I have learned in less than a quarter of his class. I have a long way to go and am very excited to learn more. This class is worth every penny and more! I was hesitant on buying the class because I have CS6 and he works with CC, but I have already used what I've learned in his course to create a video. The first 9 lessons were already worth what I paid for the entire course. Thank you, Abba! You are an awesome teacher! You have me absolutely obsessed with creating right now! I highly recommend! You won't find this thorough of a course for this decent price!

Just bought this yesterday and cannot stop watching!!!! What a FANTASTIC teacher-- just love the way he explains everything. For someone like me (who has a zillion questions) it is perfect. As soon as he introduces a feature, he explains several aspects in such a way that's easy to grasp and remember. So, so happy I got this. Thank you Abba and CreativeLive!

I am only on lesson 19 and I am so glad I bought this class, so worth it and Abba packs so much information into these lessons its crazy. I will for sure have to come back and watch again when I need to remember to do stuff or need a refresher. He is funny and quirky and a great teacher. I so recommend this to anyone wanting to become a better video editor!! I am coming from being self taught and using iMovie and he makes it so simple and understandable. Can't wait to learn more :)
