Create After Effects templates for Adobe Premiere Pro

1. Introduction: Hi there, welcome to this course on creating After Effects templates for adopt Premier Pro. My name is Jose and I'm instructor for this class. Here in this course you will learn about motion graphics template, just like water motion graphic templates, how you can use them, how you can create them with hands-on practical examples. This course is divided into multiple lessons. First, you will learn to create various types of motion graphics template in After Effects. Then, after creating a template, you can import them and use it on adopting new flow. You will also learn about these things in the scope. Moreover, you will also learn to create animated lower third X2 opener, Along with a lesson to build animated Alpha Matte text template After Effects. And much more. Curious to learn these excuses on After Effects. And want to combine your motion graphic scales with video editing. Excuse me, start learning right now. See you in the class. 2. Creating a Motion Graphics template in After Effects- Text opener: Hi friends, welcome to this lesson. We're going to learn about creating a motion graphics template in After Effects. So let's get started. After you open, After Effects, you get this dashboard. We are going to create a new composition. And here we just create a new shape. So we will draw a square shape and you can find it as a shape layer. You can rename it so that it will be easy to handle. You can create multiple layers of different kinds of objects, vectors, text on different things. Just rename it to shape animation. We're going to create a basic animation. Will this rectangle. Then we can create a text layer. Provide some texts. Here we write a start. You can change it later on. And the purpose of creating a motion graphics template is to use the power of after effects, where you can create visual effects and motion graphics. And you can export it with some features that you can control later on with Premier Pro. Premier Pro is used for video editing and After Effects is used for motion graphics and VFX. Those who don't know. If you are a premium pro user, you just need to learn a little bit about After Effects so that you can take your video editing to the next level. So here we create a keyframe for the scale. Keyframe has varied over time so that we can create animation. So in the starting, it was zero. Then it said 200% after some time. And then we expanded it further on the screen. You can select a pair of key frames. Right-click keyframe assistant, easy ease. So it will just hover around with seamless manner. This is, we create animation. We took a one-second pause. You can increase the pause or reduce the false, depending on if you reduce the pause, it will just pop up very quickly. You can increase the gap depending on your usage. Here we created a scale animation for the rectangle and it looks like beautiful opener. So this is a basic thing. You can do, a complex and advanced thing as well. Then you can animate texts are at some kind of animation. You can do some transformation. Otherwise, the properties, this, rename this as well. Our text. Here we got two different layers. One as a rectangle and then as a distinct. This go to Windows and essential graphics. And from there you can create a motion graphics template. Does provide a name and the properties that you want to add. If you want to add a layer, it won't be able to add. You just need to provide a particular property. So like we can edit position, scale, rotation. But keyframes could not be said in Premier Pro for these properties that we add. Although Premier Pro allows you to set keyframes on property is that it provides. But you cannot transfer this thing from After Effects. You can just set the properties, you can create another group. All the properties that you paste it here would be allowed in Premier Pro to make some edits. Like if you want to create a motion graphic templates where you created multiple animation, various effects. And you want your users to just edit a few things, like basic transformation, the phone, and other things, but not the code animation. You can do this thing. You can provide minimum control, maximum control or the way you want. You can add source texts to the Properties panel. And it will allow your users to customize fonts. Just go to Edit Properties, and don't forget to check the first two options where you enable the custom font selection and font size adjustment. So these two properties would be added so that your users can change the font according with him. Whenever you create a motion graphics template that consist of texts, Don't forget to provide a phone. You can use this motion graphics template for various purpose. If you're a blocker, if you're a video editor, you create documentaries, urine shows, you create ads, anything, just anything, video lessons as well. You can use these lower thirds. You can create this thing to create an opener, outro, anything, just anything. You can also use it on various other things as well. The customer would be able to use this thing. End-user would be able to customize the properties for opacity, position escaped and position that we provide. If you don't want to provide, say, Opacity, your users won't be able to change the opacity value of each individual layer. Moreover, you can create groups that allow you to categorize various properties. So it's ideal to create an animation consisting of multiple layers and just provide the properties that you want your users to change later on. Whenever they use. You can provide these things. So just try to create motion graphics templates. And once you are done, you can just press Export motion graphics template. And don't forget to save the file for, save the file and then export. And then you can go here. You can check these warnings or otherwise you can ignore it. If you want your users to get a prompt. If they do somewhere, it will prompt. Otherwise, you can leave it. And just provide a name for your new motion graphics template. It will be saved as MO GIT extension motion graphics template. And it can be used on software such as Premier Pro. This is how you create motion graphics template in After Effects. You are going to learn more in the coming lessons till then keep learning and keep moving ahead. 3. Using After Effects template in Premiere Pro- Text opener: Hi, welcome back friend. Here in this lesson you're going to learn about how we can use an After Effects template in Premiere Pro. Let's get started. In the previous lesson, we created motion graphics template in After Effects, and now it's time to import in criminal law. We already have a video clip here added on the timeline for Premier. And now, in order to add a template, just go to the Window and select Essential Graphics in the essential graphics panel. If it is not currently open, you can check it. Or otherwise if it on the right-hand side, just slide it over. Here. You can find various templates that can be added to the scene. And you can import a new template by just going to the bottom right corner little icon to add a template. Select the template that we created previously, a text to opener and imported here. You can alternatively search it as well in the existing template folder. But if it is a new template, you'll need to import first. When it is imported, you can add it to the timeline. You can create a new layer on the top of existing video clip or you can just nucleus it. Does. You can see here it is working as designed. In After Effects. We created a similar animation where there's a text that appears in the beginning and then the background. We can change the text. As you can find in the Edit panel. We can change the text. So this feature was provided in the previous lesson. We created a template and passed on certain properties that can be edited in Premier Pro. Then we can use, now rename it to let's fly. Because they are, this is a scene for the airlines. We can just add this carousel. You can change it to anything you want. So always in Premier, in After Effects provide a source code. We can also change the font. We can change the location. Let's position it on the lower bottom of the screen. You can turn the opacity, just make it a little bit transparent, not completely little bit, and it will just pop up here. So this is how it appears. What we can do here is we can go to the Properties panel, all this layer. And we can change its position. We can cut the remaining part that we don't need without randomization was for too long. And we don't need that much time. We just need it to be an opener. So it will be there. You can change the font obviously, whenever you want. By default, we added a beavers new font. You can change it to any other font that you decide. Just try san serif or something like. You can also change it to italicize bold, or just keep it regular type. Then you can change the size and everything. Let's move to the effects control panel for this thing. And just move a little bit higher than what we just want to test and little element to be displayed. Not everything is. Now just press space bar to play this animation. Now, this thing is here. It looked like some messages popping up. You can always customize things. So once you import a motion graphics template in Premier Pro, this don't use it as it is prior to customize it further on, because Premier Pro is all full video editing software and you can always use it to customize. I just reposition the texts and the position, the background as well. You can also add some effects. Here. We can, we're going to add a video transition, dip to black or extenuation. This is how you use the motion graphics template in Premier Pro. Try to create your own template and use it in your videos. Keep learning and keep moving ahead. 4. Creating a Lower third in After Effects and Exporting Mogrt: Hi, welcome back friend. Here in this lesson you're going to learn about creating an animation for lower term. And you will learn to export it as a motion graphics template from after effects that can be used on any other video editing software. So let's start with this. We need two different layers. One is a shape layer for rectangle, and other would be, or actually, let's change the color for this rectangle. We have created a long slim rectangle that will be placed just below our text layer. Now just create a text and we can customize it, changed the color, all this text, and just write it what you want things to be written by default. The text can be changed later on in Premier Pro as well as in After Effects. So don't worry at the moment, the scale, the text adjusted the way you want and just write something. Here we are writing chapter one morning. So this kind of lower curve can be used documentaries. It can be used for creating video blogs, or it can be used for different things. Use the selection tool to just move it around the screen. And here we are going to create a little bit animation. In this lower third, we're going to animate both the properties, both the layers rectangle as well as text layer. For this rectangle just make it in the timeline, just move it a little bit forward. So that rectangle would appear. Sometimes later on. Expand it and move to transform. Choose the scale, property or position. You can change it. We're going to create a keyframe for position. But before just move the anchor point towards the left end side. Moving the anchor point, you would require a pan behind tool selected and move it to. Later on. Once you are done, just hit the selection tool and set the keyframes or an invasion. The select the scale property, hit the stopwatch icon and make it zero. Initially at, say, 1 s, we made it as zeros, so it will appear out of nowhere. After some time, just hit again, create a keyframe again. And this time you can scale it 200 per cent same. You can just make it, so it will appear this way. Provide a gap, set, another keyframe. Just make it a little bit smaller so that it will have an animation. Select all the keyframes, and right-click. Easy ease. You can also go to the speed control thereof. So you can edit with the graph as well. The y's just leave it. Then just move to the starting of the video and play. This. It looks a very seamless animation where a rectangle experience from zero from left to right and then bounces back a little bit. This is a gradual animation, just moved to text and text to the end of the animation. So when the animation ends or text may appear, just customize this text. Increase the size or decrease the size the way you want horizontally, vertically, anywhere you can fit any property here. But currently we won't be getting any property. Just move to the animation, preset, effects and presets. Just select the animation you want. You can add, say, automation. You can add various type of texts animation. So that will be added by default. So a little bit difficult to create if you use the key frames. But you can use this thing to make it a little bit easy to do. You can play with the mechanical algorithm or other kinds of things, or just expand to the Animation Preset texts. You will find everything here is use the one you want and displays it. So it looks like a D ciphering thing. You might have seen this kind of effect and various movies, documentaries as well as locks. It can be used anywhere. And once you're done with your preset, just go to Window Essential Graphics and create a motion graphics template. Provided a name. Here, we used a lower third cipher because our text looks like a ciphertext. And this lower third. And then just drop the properties that you want your users to change. Our customized later on with the Premier Pro. Don't forget to enable font selection and font size adjustment for the source code so that your users can change the font and font size later on. Then you can also add some various transformation properties on the folder difference and so that you can customize it in Premier Pro. Once you are done, just hit the Export, Export motion graphics template and exported set. Okay, Here we're done. So this is how you can create a basic lower third template in After Effects. Tried to create your own, keep learning and keep moving. 5. Using After Effects lower third in Premiere: Hi, welcome back, friend. In the previous lesson, we created a lower third in After Effects. And now we're going to import that motion graphics template in Premier. So just import this thing to select the lower third cipher motion graphics template. And it will be here. So you can always added to over a video or an image, or you can just add it in the timeline. We stand alone. We're here, we got this Lower. Third, just get to the starting and play. So this is all, or Lord will appear. But now we don't like the font. We can change the font anytime we want. Let's go to the Edit panel. You can change the font, just make it say Caldwell, and make it light. You can choose any other font of your choice. We are using the car will form. So it will be light font. We can change the scale. We can move it anywhere we want and just look at teeth and thing. You can change other properties as well. That is provided in this control panel. You can use other things as well to try to create various types of lower third, because we were told is numerous, It is very open. You can just do anything, create wonderful animations with a combination of texts, shaped and color, font as well. And then use it on your video projects. Keep learning and keep moving ahead. You're going to learn more in the coming lessons. 6. Creating Alpha Matte for Text: Hi, welcome back friend. Here in this lesson you are going to learn about creating an Alpha matte for text animation. So let's get started. The first we will start by creating a text layer and just write a long text, anything. And we are going to create an animation over this. So here I write. Welcome back to the show. You can change the size of the text. You can customize the font. You can change its length. And now let's understand what we want to do. So we will create a rectangle over this text layer, and we will create an Alpha Matte out of it. So at any given point of time, only the text that is within the box will appear on the screen. Whereas box won't be appearing on this green box will be transparent. So this is called an Alpha Matte. So whatever you placed under something that will be visible only. So we've placed this box here in the center of the screen. Just position the shape layer on the top of text layer and select Alpha from the track matte option. So as you can see, only the text portion of the texts that is enclosed within the rectangle is visible. Now we are going to create an animation with the position. So just go to the position, reposition your texts wherever you want it to appear on the screen. And then we can set a keyframe. Just move to the y-axis out of the screen. Set the initial keyframe where no textures visible. And after some time, create another key frame. We are text will appear from the right-hand side. The first one you find, Welcome. This is top right here. So wait for some time. Repeat the same keyframe. You to have a pause. Then create another keyframe and move it leftwards side. Here. Just add, bring three different words back to the. So it will look like text is appearing out of nowhere in a sequential manner so that your users would be able to read each and every word with a given frame of time. Written animated manner. This is how you create this thing. We'll just play it again. We got combination of frames. Just remember, you have to create two different key frames to move an object, object and then create another keyframe to pause it. Because nobody wants a text to just move around. It won't be readable. If you want things to be made it readable, just pause it over a time. Welcome back to the show. So it moves there. But here you may have noticed that takes, takes a longer time to enter, but very small time to pause. So just increase the pause time and move it very quickly. Decide to do this thing. So here it looks nice. We have applied easy, ease so that it will be smooth. There won't be any linear progression. It will accelerate in the starting. And then the accelerate when it's about to just go out of the screen. You can further customize it as you want. Just select the pair of keyframes you want to move. With the left mouse click, just draw a shape over it and you would be able to move it. Setting a keyframe is the primary thing to create an animation. This is a building block, and this is how you create an alpha matte. With the text. You can also create an alpha matte of picture or video. We're going to have another texts will have multitude of texts and different layers. They just have a combination of two different layers. Does this create a template for this and go to windows Essentials and just provide a name for this motion graphics template. And we'll just drop the properties that we want to allow our users to customize later on in Premier Pro. So we can drop its tail opacity but we can, we don't want to draw position. Let it be because if we allow them to change the position, it will affect the keyframe. We don't want to enable the animation concept because we fought a motion graphic templates there to provide your users won't be able to set the key-frames in Premier. So this Tools licensing, try to create Alpha Matte On the Road, keep learning and keep moving ahead. 7. Adding alpha matte mogrt in premiere: Hi, welcome back. In the previous lesson, you learned how to create an Alpha Matte motion graphics template in After Effects. Now it's time to import the same template in Premier Pro and work around it. So here we got a video clip that we want to add it. This is skyline of modern-day city of Dubai. And then now, if you want to add a motion graphics template, just click on this little icon. Add a motion graphic templates like alpha matte. It has a MOG RTF format. It will be available here, just shows the name and drop it over your clip. So it adds this thing. So you can see the wonder of Alpha Matte. It comes on the screen. It has a transparent background, so it will be placed over anything. If you switch off the visibility mode for the video for a time, this is how your text will appear on the back. Now. Welcome to the show. Now, if you go into visibility on the text will appear. You can change the text and type something new. But it will change the presentation style. You will understand what this example like, e.g. if we change it to welcome to this modern city. By default, when we created the template, we added transition based on the text. But here you can see some letters are missing. So what we can do, we can do some year. We can just rotate it, tilted a little bit, so forth. Just turn the visibility of the video off and tilt it very wisely so that it will scale it a little bit. You are, you can scale it down. And then you can choose the orientation. We have added these two controls, the orientation and the texts, and now we just tried to play it again. So welcome. This modern city has worked. So sometimes you have to look around the properties that has been provided in a motion graphics template to fix some things. So try to create your own template and we're format in Premier Pro. Keep learning and keep moving ahead.
