Pre-Production Unit | No Man's Land - A Witcher Series | Editing In Premiere (Title Sequence)

Applying Finishing Touches through Premiere Pro

Once the main composite for the title sequence was finished, it was exported into an external QuickTime file, which was then brought into Adobe Premiere Pro in order to add the music and finishing touches. As a way to circumvent loss in quality through compression, the original composite was rendered as a lossless file before being imported into Adobe Premiere Pro - maximising the clarity of the image.


Premiere Pro was also useful for editing the backing music into a format that was appropriate for the title sequence. The song originally broke into a lyrical section towards the end of the composite, therefore I cut in a later section of the underlying drum beat in order to extend the instrumental section for the purpose of the sequence. The audio also fades in and out as would be expected for the professional title sequence - for example the opening 4 seconds that show the UCA logo could be used to fade the instrumental into the ending shot of an episode's introduction, allowing for a much smoother transition into the title sequence. This is something that occurs frequently on shows like 'The Walking Dead' and helps build up suspense in any given sense, as well as build a connection between the title sequence/music and the viewer.
