TRUSTYGUY Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hello Everyone, Well I've been trying lately to develop myself in Video/Image Edting...I am good in Photoshop but still I don't understand the difference in function between: -Abobe Illustrator -Adobe Premiere -Adobe After Effects and what does each of these programs functions and does....! Can someone help me in this ? I just need some information about the function of each program and I have tried joining the http://www.adobe.com site and still not clear enough to me... Can u give me advice on which programe of these to learn first and develop myself at or is it all complementary ? This is something I did lately...not so nice though but C&C are most welcome (P.S:This image is scanline rendered) Thanks in advance, Tamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_w Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Adobe Illustrator - for drawing vector images In Illustrator, you draw images using tools similar to the Pen tool from Photoshop. Its advantage over Photoshop is that the images you make in Illustrator can be scaled from postage stamp-size to billboard-size without losing quality/seeing huge pixels. Although you can achieve photorealistic results in Adobe Illustrator (see: http://www.lifeinvector.com), it's more common that Illustrator drawings have large areas of flat color, pattern and/or a few gradients. Adobe Premiere - for video editing With Premiere, you'll import your video footage from a video camera, VCR, etc; then sequence the footage to play back in the order you choose. You can shorten video clips, add transitions between them, give new audio/sound effects to the video, make changes to color balance or add some effects/filters that you'd find in Photoshop, plus include titles to introduce your video to the viewer. There are some compositing/layering options in Premiere but neither as many nor with the same degree of control as in After Effects. Adobe After Effects - for compositing video After Effects can be thought of as Photoshop for video. You can put layers of video footage and still images over top of one another and control how they move, rotate, scale, play back and more over time. You also have access to effects/filters from Photoshop as well as many effects that are native to After Effects. These effects/filters can also be controlled over time so that a Gaussian blur might go from very blurry at the start of your video to not blurry five seconds later. Although you can sequence your video footage in After Effects, some people find it faster to sequence your video/audio in Premiere then import it into After Effects for compositing.

I would like to make a video of a song of mine, and I am planning to buy Adobe Premiere and After Effects. Am I right? because I am trying to figure how could it be a correct work flow: 1 - is it best to start with Premiere syncing audio track immediately and then go to After Effects, or try to divide the song in several parts (i.e.: intro, refrain,solo, ecc), work on them in After Effects and then go to Premiere to sequence the final video? 2 - Is there any tutorial that try to explain how to achieve a correct work flow for a music video? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylEmon Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 it's be best to start with storyboards of some kind. Sync things up that way. then go to AE import the audio and composite away... then use your editor for final timeline and audio sync Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
