Is there some way to copy and paste keyframes and effects between titles that I'm just missing out on? Because I've got about 25 things I want to do the exact same motion one after another.Ahhhh, this takes me back to college.
Which edition are you using? I used to do things like that in After Effects and transfer it over to Premiere.

CC 7.2.1, I think, not 100% sure. I'll have to check when I get home tonight. I don't have AfterEffects. Maybe I should get it. Much like I used to be running up against the limitations of Windows Movie Maker, I'm starting to feel like maybe there's a better way to accomplish what I want to accomplish that Premiere simply isn't wired for.

I got the new intro done. Was more of a hassle than I thought it would be, not just the actual setup (and I figured out how to copy timelines between elements, so that worked out), but there was a lot of dark-colors-on-black in it and I forgot how much of a bitch H.264 compression is about that sort of thing, making shit muddy and blocky. So I had to retool the compression a few times until it didn't look like ass.
Tomorrow (hopefully), work on the episode proper can begin! Depending on how my day job goes, I don't know if it will be done by sunday or not.

It worries me how well this mirrors most of my high school life.
Minus the rampant sex, I suppose.

Took me 2 days to video edit the morning period, due to a combination of personal stuff and straight up difficulty in putting together a cohesive narrative out of the chaos that apparently happens the day after a student is killed by a teacher. It's wrinkling my brain. But progress is coming, albeit slowly.

Knowing the Academy, progress isn't the only thing coming.

You ain't wrong. 'Specially when there's no teacher.Knowing the Academy, progress isn't the only thing coming.
Oh yeah, the school does need a new teacher. Well, the next teacher can't do any worse, can they?
...Right?
I would say that's letting the inmates run the asylum, but we haven't had a teacher who hasn't been as bad as the rest of us (if not worse).

To be fair, Shego did a pretty good job of breaking up the PDAs, and half the time, the fights.
I am beginning to suspect this academy exists in some specially designed pocket of Hell.
That's only because she didn't start them!

Heh heh heh, the "killer teacher" angle makes for SO much more better TV, though.
I can't imagine who will be a more sinister teacher presence than Shego.

Oh, coming up with what to say isn't the issue. I think it's that the scenes and the rate of time passage has to be "massaged" to fit the dialog as I go, so there's almost but not quite a second phase of video editing, plus sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 takes to get what I want to say to sound right, then I gotta run it through post processing to normalize the audio, trim it up, then move on. Every 10 seconds of audio takes minutes of work.
I would have suggested that, but he's already all the students.Oh God. JCM as a teacher.

Well, it looks like a little murder can lead to a whole lot of hormones and cockblocking.
Hooray, things have mended between AnimeFilm and AnimeWasabi!
I'd like to point out that not only is Moe Ash not breaking up the orgy, she's watching the entire time.
