The work on Random Arma Bullshittery (part 7) continues.  

This one being the first one I've done in Adobe Premiere instead of Sony Vegas. As I'd like to experiment with Adobe After Effect's motion tracking (commonly seen in /r/HighQualityGifs ) to see if they can speed up editing)

I'm learning as I go. Mostly the hotkeys. The cutting phase feels slower then it would usually be, mostly due to my current newbishness. 

Also, I am noticing two reccuring problems that are frustrating me. If you're an Adobe Premiere wizard, perhaps you can help me out?

a.) On going to later parts in the timeline, I'm finding that my audio is often massively out of sync with the video. Not in a way that would be obvious like the audio tile has physically moved. But surreptitiously so it's only   noticeable on playing the footage back and watching mouths or guns, etc.

b.) Some of the shorter clips keep going missing entirely from the timeline. As in, I would put a 4 second clip later in the timeline to edit it later. Come back hours later and it's vanished. At first I discovered that it's possible to make multiple timelines, and I was putting some on the wrong one. But it's still happening. I must be hitting a hotkey I don't know about :S

So lots of head scratching today.

More progress updates to follow.

On B, I cant remember any button that would make a clip disappear other than "delete". But I do have a thought. It might be possible to "resize" clips to extinction by grabbing the edge of a clip and dragging it in the direction of the other edge, thereby shortening the duration of the clip. Perhaps this happend because the clips are so tiny that, when you wanted to grab the clip to move it, you grabbed an edge. Also, sometimes it can be advantageous to split videos into multiple timelines, which are sequences in premiere. You can then later add all these sequences into another sequence that you use to render the video in full. I know right? Just adobe things. It's nice if you want to do equalising and effects and whatnot on the master audio track of a sequence, but want to do different things for different parts of the video. (For example, if in one stream Cyanides voice is obnoxiously loud and you want to compress the shit out of just those clips, you wouldn't use a compressor on each individual clip, but cut the clips together, make a subsequence (or subclip?) out of those and then add audio effects on the whole thing. Probably how it's done in Vegas as well, but I don't know.) On A, I personally never encountered audio desync in the timeline (apart from what I'm about to say), but I can tell you why that is with 99% certainet.. certainit... fuck. It's Shadowplay. Shadowplay records clips in variable FPS, and premiere can still not deal with that. The issue is exactly what you described and exactly what happened when I import mp4s directly from shadowplay into premiere. What you need to do is get handbrake, it's a fast and simple video encoding software: <a href="https://handbrake.fr/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://handbrake.fr/</a>Simply put Shadowplay files in there, set fps to 30 or whatever and reencode that. It's another shitty step because Nvidia can't be arsed to fix that problem since shadowplay was in beta, and over in their forums the issue is widely known. Check out if OBS and Dxtory recordings are outputting variable FPS files for you as well, you can use <a href="https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo</a> to quickly get an overview of the specs of every clip. Any questions? Shoot me a message. /edit: fixed idiociy

Soviet I'm pretty sure that I've encountered a many times before. It's due to a variable frame rate recording. If the fps dips for 59 in a 60 recording for a little, premiere doesn't handle it whatsoever and you get desync. To fix this either find something that records at a stable frame rate (fraps and obs work for me. Shadow play is notoriously bad in my experience). Or you can run it through handbrake and output a constant framerate file which will work in premiere. I can also possibly help you a little with the tracking. If you right click a clip you'd like to track in and select "replace with after effects composition" then it'll open in ae for you. Back in premiere, Ctrl+k to cut, but it only cuts on layers which are selected. And if you press ctrl+t you can make text similar to ae (outlines look smoother for some reason) but isn't animated and is quicker to do. If anything else feels really slow I'll try help. I've been making videos in premiere for a while and have done a bit of similar editing as of recent (you damn influence).

I saw a video on Facebook on some shitty gaming page that had stole your video of the Rust betrayal - idk if this is a problem for you but what's your opinion on this

Also good luck on the editing I'm sure there are many guides out there
