1. You may have already figured out the AP doesn't copy or move any of your files. Instead, when you import, they only appear to go into a bin inside of AP and which won't actually exist on your hard-drive. But note that AP merely creates a list of pointers to those files; the files themselves are not imported into Premiere anywhere. That's why the suggestion to have you swap out the "bad" files with the "good" would work - the pointers are pointing to files with the same name and HD location. 2. AP also has a command Clip > Replace Footage which is very useful when pieces of a file are used in multiple places or on multiple timelines, and also when clips have effects applied. (I don't know whether it works with a batch of files - even so, it might not be appropriate for 1400 files that aren't edited.) 3. There is an advantage to including your too-wide photos in Premiere - you could actually plan it that way so that during the video playback you could introduce some viewing variations; for example, during some periods you could pan left or right, and/or briefly zoom into something else as a point of interest, such as the trash that blew into the field or the tires of a truck or a tree or whatever. Doing little creative tricks like that might make a 3-minute viewing experience better. You do panning inside of AP by merely changing the position (you've see it right above the Scale) at various key points (AP will set keyframes at every point you do this). Just some additional thoughts.

I wasn't aware that the original folder is where AP goes for the files. I thought after import it would place them in a project folder of sorts. Well I guess I needed something to do to keep me busy tonight and what i did was i just imported all 1400+ images on another track and i zoomed in so i could see the file names and i manually removed groups at a time. Yeah not what i wanted to do at first but messing with folders was to much for me until I can mess with them and learn what and where they are. Only cause I had title frames to match up at places on the timeline and with the sections of photos I removed it could of really been a hair puller. Glad i did before the total got up to 20,000+ images.
Oh and as for coping effects I'll leave that for another lesson filled tutorial night. This will all be avoided when i do the correct thing right from the start and ya know the wide angle shots turned out to be a good thing. Now i got two versions of the same event. Good thing I captured at high res for that. Here was the wide version you can see the side of the box got captured when it zoomed out. http://youtu.be/ytz4N-SgO_k and here is the edited zoomed version. I believe i would of had better quiality if the camera zoom was used instead of Photoshop zoom. http://youtu.be/orYndJhP1Sg Thanks Matt Nikon CoolPix 8700 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
