  1. What is the best way to take a part a frame. Like cut out parts of the frame and resize parts of it. It is only for a small section of video and I am willing to sacrifice quality, but I am really looking for a program where I can cut out parts of the frames, and resize the remaining parts. What would you reccomend?

  3. I was kinda hoping you would reccomend something that does a great job with MPEG2, and from what I hear, that's not adobe premiere. The only reason I want something that can do this type of stuff with MPEG2 because that is all my capture card captures in.

    MPEG-2 is a compressed format. You are wanting a video editing software to do the effects that you are looking for, unfortunately MPEG-2 being a compressed format does not lend itself to being very "editing" friendly. MPEG-2 is basically a final video format.

    I capture to DV-AVI so I do not have that issue. Maybe someone on here who has to capture to MPEG can give you a software to try.

  5. Well see I captured a 30 minute video from television and it's perfect except for just this one little 30 second clip. Is there a way I can pull that small section out of the MPEG2 video, convert it to avi, do some major editing, and then reinsert it into the exact same spot. I don't really care about quality. If you could help me that would be great

  8. If quality isn't the overriding concern, why not just convert all the way back to .avi, edit, and then re-encode?

    Taking a segment out of an MPEG file to edit and reinsert sounds like a solution just asking for sync issues to me...

    This is the second time you've had a bad attitude in a post.

    You haven't been here long enough to be acting this way ... grow up or move on to another forum.

  12. Terribly sorry for not saying a budget, and I totally didn't mean to start any arguments. I am using the trial version version of adobe premiere and I was just wondering if any of you know how to take out part of a frame. I don't want to trim it or anything like that I literally want to paint over a large portion of it. Can you give me a general Idea of where to go in premiere. I want to take out some guys head and add another person's head. I also want to edit the colors of the wall behind it and lots of different things like that.
