Ok so ive been doing a bit of editing and i want to bring my editing up a new level. I kinda want to do something like the rider/skier walks across the screen and his name appears behind him as he walks across or he erases it as it walks accross? Or have gray scale scene but one thing in the scene is glowing/colored?

I heard that was called overlaying??

I dont even know where to start?

Im probably getting adobe premier soon, but do i need a whole nother program?

+K for help
 
Premier is for editing, you'll probably want to go ahead and get after effects as well..
 
well for that effect its pretty basic and you can get a pretty good look with it in premiere.

for the name make a title(with the name...) and then lay it overtop your video. then go to effects and under motion hit the stopwatch thing on the left of position. or hit keyframes on or something there youl see it. then just scrub through moving the title to follow what you want.

too make it erase as he walks by or whatever is a bit more difficult to do in premiere but it is possible.first make a duplicate of your video and place it above both the original and the title layer then go to effects and get an 8 point garbage matte. place it on the duplicated video. under effects you will have positions of the eight points. once again set keyframes and try to get it so the mask moves just in front of him or whatever. in after effects its a lot easier for masking and working on details. (there might be another way in premiere that will work for details but i dont really use premiere for masking stuff) but you definatly can get some simple stuff that way.

the black and white except for one color effect will either be called color leave or color pass i believe. and its pretty simple to use once you go to the effect menu. if there is an option for it in premiere change it from rgb mode to hue it will make it easier to single out one color.
