Guide lines on clip?

[don731]

Hello,

I'm using the rotation effect to straighten a crooked clip. Is there a set of guide lines that you can turn on over the clip to assist in straightening?

Cheers,

No, Premiere Elements does not have guides. You can turn on "safe margins" which will give you lines near the edges indicating where the safe margins are. If that isn't good enough, you can create a title placed on a track above the clip you are working on. While in the titler, select the line tool and hold down the shift key. Draw a horizontal or vertical line where ever you need it. After you straighten the clip, you can delete the title.

I like your idea a lot, Bob!

[Dave McElderry]

Yeah, I liked that too.

Excellent idea. I made a text slide that is just lines for straightening.
