adobe premeire question

[civperc]

okay, I need to edit this .mpg video I have. about 100 frames of it have text in the lower left hand corner. so I exported each frame and saved them as .bmp files, by using premeire. then I got rid of the text in each .bmp image using photoshop. I'm new to premiere, so now I don't know how to put the 100 .bmp files back into the video and save the .mpg so it uses the new frames instead of the old ones with text.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I really need some help with this.

I haven't used Premiere for ages, but if I'm not mistaken, you can name your files sequentially (e.g. movie001.bmp, movie002.bmp, ...) and there should be some import function in Premiere that allows you to load it all up.

Try starting with the File... Import menu and explore from there.


Hope that helps,

I appreciate the reply.

in premiere I opened both the .mpg I need to edit, and the first .bmp I need to use in the video. but when I checked under File, the import option was grayed. any more ideas on how I can do what I need to do?

Not sure if this helps, but don't you need some sort of "project" open? And if so, try importing your bitmaps from the window that contains a list of all the media (video and audio) used by the project (don't know what it is called).

thanks, your latest post helped me out some more. I opened a new project "windows ntsc 680x460" I think. And then I imported my .mpg file into my new ppi project, I moved the double names of the video file so that they now occupy the video 1 and audio 1 horizontal columns in the "timeline" window. Then I selected an option to edit/preview all the frames and now premiere is creating a preview which seems like it will take an estimated 60 minutes. Sure is taking a lot of CPU power and disk space! but that's ok. Hopefully I'll be able to successfully replace the frames with my .bmp's I edited with photoshop and have the new .mpg file I need.
