For this piece, we’ll take a look at using the new Ultra Keyer in Premiere Pro with some Canon 7D footage. What’s great about this is the fact that the green screen was unevenly lit, and with minimal effort, I’m able to pull a rather impressive key, literally in seconds. Following that, I’ll show you the easiest way to time-remap footage (both speeding-up and slowing down) directly inside the timeline. One thing that I neglected to mention was that you can (of course) keyframe time changes (but you’ll see a little tool-tip pop-up during the video). Once keyframed, you can adjust the ramp of the speed/duration into the time change as well. Powerful stuff, and very easy to apply. And lastly, I’ll showcase the ease of the new ‘Export Frame’ option, ideal for taking digital stills from your HD-DSLR video, and lightning fast in CS5 (thanks to the fact that we no longer go thru Media Encoder to process stills; just click ‘Export’, choose the format/location, and you’re done).
