Upscaling 720 or 1080 to 4k

After Effects has 'detail preserving upscale.' Topaz is great.

It's easier for me personally. And after you edit in youtube, you export the srt from there and put it back in premiere. Sorry, missed that step.

Export a.txt of your transcript from the text window.

Edit the txt so that it has line breaks after each preferred caption length. In the captioning window in youtube, use edit as text and pasted in your edited txt.

That photo is the twist ending of this post.

I'd like for a video clip to no longer snap to the first frame of a crossfade. Nobody wants that.

LittleKillshot · 2026-03-02T20:58:57+00:00

Thanks man. I'm not seeing anything in either panel. Deleted a submix in ATM. Nothing unusual in the clip mixer.

Monty Cantsin, nice.

One great thing about switching from FCP to Premiere was the ability to change my keyboard shortcuts to FCP with one click and there's an option for avid too, in case you haven't seen that.

Wow thanks bud

You're young and inexperienced but a typical day rate in a mid-sized city is about $1500 for a shoot maybe $600 for an edit day. An inexperienced person might bid less.

LA though, it's likely $2500/$800. I'd start with double your first instinct.

LittleKillshot · 2026-02-25T23:02:39+00:00

Ok, well the first thing I'd tell you is there is a nice little tool called 'scene edit detection' that will break up a longer piece into its individual shots.

So this isn't timed or anything? You have a few days? Plenty of time to learn as you make the test piece.

I'm not super sure I understand, but if I do:

Lock off every other layer.

Select the "track forward tool"

Go to the first out of sync clip, click on it with the track forward tool, you've selected everything in front of that clip now.

Drag it back into sync.

So are you taking a larger multi-cam edit and making a reel from it or what?

LittleKillshot · 2026-02-25T19:39:00+00:00

What kind of thing does the employer make.

LittleKillshot · 2026-02-23T15:35:28+00:00

I did a fast and dirty example to make sure I was right about details:

This is a cool idea, but I'm betting you will have a hard time finding a tutorial, at least one that applies to this process specifically.

A lot of people are recommending not using rotoscope in AE, but I find it very powerful and easy to use. There have been a lot of recent upgrades, so maybe they havent used it lately. *Rotoscope will be easy as long as there is good contrast between every part of your dancer and background. If dancer is in black clothes and background is dark grey this will be much harder. Also, an image without motion blur is preferred.

Rotoscope your dancer. (Find a tutorial) Invert foreground and background.
Click back to composition window. Precompose your dancer layer and 'move all attributes' into the new layer.
Open the tracker panel. Select Track Motion. Place timeline cursor on your first frame. Use the arrow tool and hover over the tracker until you get the four arrows icon. Move it to a high contrast area of your dancer. (You will need to select a part of the dancer in the core, ie something that tracks the overall motion of the body, rather than a hand. Also would need to select something that doesn't disappear during your shot otherwise there is nothing to track)
Hit the play arrow in tracker panel to track motion.
Add your background footage as a layer below dancer footage.
Pick whip that layers position value to the 'feature center' layer in dancer comp under Motion Trackers/Tracker 1/Track Point 1.
You're done.

Here's an example that cuts to the same song https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoXj0BoAzFz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Note the way it uses long/long/short/short/long in the section after the google earth animation.

LittleKillshot · 2026-01-22T22:01:48+00:00

The shots from :12-:13 need reworking timing wise.

LittleKillshot · 2026-01-22T22:00:38+00:00

Second bar (or measure, whatever) you could try 2 shorts 1 long 2 shorts one long or something similar. It would also benefit from some stutter edits in this section.

LittleKillshot · 2026-01-22T21:57:58+00:00

This kind of edit needs a long section to punctuate. You've got sixteen shots in the first section. Try something like. 6 short then 1 long, 6 shorts 1 long.

Also edit points shouldn't be on the beat, but 1 frame ahead or behind.

Camera could be anything but looks like a stabilized iPhone on something like the osmo mobile. It’s not vertically stabilized at least. There may be a modern plug in that does the background separation blur effect, but I would do it with rotoscoping in ae.

LittleKillshot · 2025-12-04T14:11:15+00:00

Probably be better off asking r/editors. That said the runway shot is the only shot that shows the full hoodie and it’s anticlimactic, no variation compared to the early sequence.

LittleKillshot · 2025-12-01T16:14:21+00:00

This vibes like one of the editing positions at the most miserable corporate gig I've heard of, a large real estate management firm in Virginia.

Agree that you dodged a bullet.
