What is an Instant Movie?

Using the Instant Movies feature we create professional looking movies, complete with titles, soundtrack, effects and transitions in a simple step by step manner. When you are playing a movie Adobe Premiere Elements analyzes your clips, edits them and applies a theme of your choice. You can customize the theme with your own title and credits, and your own music or effects.

With the help of movie themes, we can create movies of a specific type.

You can choose from different themes. If you wish, you can apply all the properties in a theme or just a subset of the features available. You can create a theme for an entire series of images in the scene or the subject or you can apply this only to one clip.

 

Movie making:

Select the workspace “Organize” and click on “Instant Movie”

Select the clips you want included in the film.

If you already have clips in the Sceneline or the Timeline, you may start if you wish, or you can select additional clips.

Select a theme for your movie. If you want an example of a theme to be displayed, move your mouse over the thumbnail of the theme to see a description and click the “Play” button for a preview.
Click “Next”.

Specify the properties of your theme.
Click on Apply.

If you already have a project and you want to use a theme for the entire project or part of it, use the “Themes” displayed in the “Edit” tab.

When you change the theme, to apply it to the entire project, select No clips.

When the theme is to be applied to just a part of the project, select the clips you want to use in the theme.

In the Tasks pane, click “Edit” and then click “Themes”.
