Using Subclips in Premiere Pro
Subclips are smaller parts of the bigger project. Use the Make Subclip command early and save yourself some time when you get to the timeline.
Creating Place Scale Markers
You know those scale markers they have on maps that say that 1″ equals 1 mile? Well, Photoshop can create something called Scale Markers. These are measurement guides that are created based on the measurement scale you use. Once a measurement scale is established, go under the Analysis menu and choose Place Scale Marker. In this example, I have established my measurement scale to interpret 100 pixels as 1″ in a file that’s 10″ wide at 100 dpi. So if I want to create a 3″ scale marker, then I would enter 3 in the Length field. I can also choose to display text as a label for the marker. You can choose its color and placement depending on the file.

Very KOOL….love the brush tool options
Mark R said on — October 23, 2008 @ 7:38 pm
very nice, I make brushes for just about everything I do.
I was wondering if you had a tutorial on how to extract hair from a multi-color background? All the tutorial I see,extract hair from white or single color background, which is quite easy.
Brett said on — October 24, 2008 @ 12:01 am
I think the problem to define a brush is due to the resolution. I doesn’t work if its 151 pixels/inch or more. So 150 should work. I don’t know why I would my resolution up hehe.
That was my problem.
this is a great tutorial. Thanks =D keep it up =D
