Creating specialty clips
Specialty clips are those that you generate (rather than add) by using commands in the Project view. They reside in the
Tasks panel along with your added clips.
You can create universal counting leaders, color bars, a 1-kHz tone, black video, and colored backgrounds to place in
your project to help with calibration of your video or simply to use as footage.
Create a universal counting leader
A universal counting leader is the countdown graphic that appears at the beginning of some films. The counting leader
helps a projectionist verify that audio and video are working properly and are synchronized. You can customize the
color, appearance, and audio settings of the counting leaders you create in Adobe Premiere Elements. The leader is 11
seconds long.
