1. Introduction: Welcome to this course. You just decided to become a Premiere Pro video editor. I'm very excited to have you here. It's very nice to meet you. My name is Mario, and I am a photographer, videographer, YouTuber, and I am from Peru. In this course, I'll help you to understand and learn everything you need to know to become a professional Premiere Pro video editor. This course is made for people that never used Premiere Pro ever. It means I'm going to teach you how to use it from scratch. Maybe you saw the program already, and maybe you open it, and you saw all of these buttons, and it looks that is difficult to understand. But let me tell you something, you know what? It's really easy to understand. You just need to understand where are the buttons, what are they for, how is it work? Then at the end, we practice, everything becomes very easy. In this course, I will help you to understand the editing process: adding music, adding pictures, adding text, animations, effects, transitions, color correction, and of course, to export also. Because there are certain settings that you have to know, so you can take advantage of all the quality of your videos. Are you ready to become a video editor? Let's start creating.
2. Understanding PREMIER PRO: Let's start to have fun and let's open Premiere Pro. This is the first thing you'll see where you have to decide to open a project that you already have or to open a new project. Here you can see the projects I was working with recently. If this is your first time with Premier Pro, of course you're not going to have any projects here. So don't worry. Let's click "New Project." Now here you have the name of the project you're going to do. In this case, based in the video we are going to be editing for this course, I'm going to put the name, a day in a park. Now here under the name, you'll see where are you going to save the project. Normally, by default, it's going to be saved in a desktop, in a folder that belongs to Premier Pro. What we're going to do, we're going to create a new folder. This is the way to be organized. We have to be organized. Let's go to the desktop. Let's make it easier. Now let's create a new folder and let's call it a day in the park. There you go. Let's choose this folder. The project is going to be saved here, and everything we're going to have is going to be saved here. I mean videos, audio, audio effects, and everything we want to use for this project is going to be here. Select folder, and we have it here. We're going to talk about organization, how to organize all your files and everything, audios and everything before you import them to Premier Pro in the next lesson. So don't worry. Now here in render, you have options. They can be different in your computer. This is because it depends of the hardware of your computer. So then you can choose here the playback of your files. Here where it says the "Mercury playback engine software only," I will not choose that because this is going to make Premier Pro to play back your editing. That's going to make Premiere Pro struggle a little bit. You don't want that. You want the software to take care of your editing and that's it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to choose, in my case, the first one that it's actually my graphic card is a GPU acceleration. It says CUDA, that's my graphic card. So this is the one I want to choose. Normally this is chosen by default. So normally here in renderer, Premier Pro is going to understand that you have a graphic card and it's going to choose it by default, but it's good for you to know what this is exactly. Now here in video, audio capture, just leave it as it is. Don't worry about it. So now we are ready and let's go and click "Okay". There you go. Premiere Pro has a very user-friendly layout and it's easy to arrange to. As you can see, you can move it here if you want this to be bigger because it's more comfortable for you, you can move it. It's really user friendly. Let's talk about the main parts of these, so you will understand. Sometimes when it's the first time you come here, you see that it's a little complex, but not at all. It's very easy. You just have to know what everything is and what is it for. Let's talk about this part here. This is called the project bin. Here's where we are going to visualize the files of the footages and pictures and titles and everything we need in our editing. Here's where we're going to pre-visualize our footage to decide what to pull in the timeline where we will edit. Also, we have the effect controls here. If you don't see them, because sometimes I saw cases that they don't have it here is very simple. You go to Window and then you're going to look for effect controls here. It's clicked. It's checked. So it means is there. If it's not checked, it means you don't see it there, you just check it out. It's going to appear here as simple as that. Now here we have the tools. We're going to talk in a future lesson about every single tool that we have here and how to use them. Don't worry. Everything's going to be step-by-step and I'm going to try my best to make it very easy. Now we go to the next window. This is called the timeline. Here's what we're going to put all our footages to cut them, stretch them, put the effects, transitions in music. Basically here and these places where the editing is happening. Now here next to the timeline, we have the audio meter. This is basically where you are going to measure the decibels of the audio. We will see more of this in a future lesson. Don't worry. If you don't see it here, you know what to do. Again, go to Windows and then you look for audio meters here. There you go. As you can see, is clicked. If you don't see it here, if you don't see it down there is because it's not checked. You just checked it and it's going to appear. That's it. Now let's go to the top window. This is the playback monitor, and here's where we are going to visualize what we're going to be editing. The fun part is here. You're going to see how everything is becoming beautiful in your editing. Now I want to show you also this part here on the top, you can see a lot of different layouts. Why they're different layouts? I'm going to show you. If you go to learning, for example, it's a complete different layout. You see it's a different layout. Assembly is a different layout. Editing is a different layout and so on. I'm using Mario workplace because I created my own layout. This is actually the way I like to work. You can also customize everything. For example, I'm going to show you. Here, it says effects. If you click in effects and you hold the click and you start to move it like this, you can put it here. You can put it here if you want, here if you want, but I like to use it here. You see, it just moved here. That's incredible. That's the best of Premiere Pro. You can actually customize everything. I put it like this, so I can actually read a little bit here. Then I just come here in Mario's workplace and put reset to saved layout. You can put also save changes to this workplace. I'm going to save the changes to this workplace. That's it. Now this workplace is becoming something comfortable for me. In your case, because it's the first time you are using Premier Pro, you're not going to have your name here as a workplace. So you can do exactly the same. I'm going to go back here how we do ours. It was like this. We're going to go to editing because basically when you start with Premier Pro, this is what you're going to see. Mario's workplace is something I created. It's my comfortness to edit and I save it. So let's go to editing. This is how you're going to see it. You can, for example, maybe a browser. You know what? I don't like this. You can close it. Libraries, you know what? I'm not going to use this. This is better, but I want the effects to be, for example, here. Don't worry if it's confusing because we're going to see everything in detail, little by little, very easy. I'm just showing you how to save the layout. You can come here, you know what? I like this layout. This is the best to go to editing. You can put here, save as new workplace. Click it here. Then here, you're going to put Michael workplace, Tom workplace, Carina workplace, however you want. You put your name here and this is going to be saved exactly like I have here, Mario workplace. That's it. My suggestion is when you come to editing, you work with the software, practice and practice the software. Follow the course with me. Let's go step-by-step. Then little by little, you're going to realize how comfortable you are if you move this here or move this there and everything. Don't create something if you're not familiarized with the software. First, familiarize, and then little by little, you are going to be creating your own workplace. That's the best because then that helps you to make your workflow faster, easier for you and more comfortable. Now that we understand the layout of Premiere Pro, we can start editing. But for that, we need to organize our footages and that is what we're going to do in the next lesson.
3. Importing and Organizing Files: To start editing, we need the footages, of course, but the footages have to be organized. Organization is going to help us a lot to have a better workflow and that is actually going to help us to have a faster editing. Let's talk about organization. The first thing we're going to do before importing all the files here in Premier Pro is to organize them in a folder and that's going to make everything better and easier for us to do, to start editing. So let's minimize here we are in the desktop and remember that we created: A day in the park, this folder where we are saving the project. Let's open it. As you can see, I created another folder with music where I have the song that I don't know, I just picked it up. Then pics, I just have one picture. But this is going to be helpful because I'm going to show you something. Then we have the video. We have different kinds of videos and we have one video with G that is different than the others because it's from a GoPro, but the videos are here. This is called organization. This is what we need to do. So everything is going to be easier With practice, you'll understand more about why are we doing this. Now let's go to Premier Pro, and we're going to talk about many ways of importing files to Premiere Pro. This is exactly what I'm saying many ways because there's a lot of ways. Let's talk about the first way. You just come here. Here's where everything is going to be. So you come here and you double click, and that's it. You open the files and well, it came straight to: A day in the park. But if you are, for example in desktop, you just look for the folder you go here and you can import whatever you want to the project bin. For example, in video, you come to video, you just highlight all of these videos and you put open and as you can see, is importing the files. There you go. You have all the files here in the project bin. Now, let's undo this and let's go to see another way. Let's see another way. You right click and you can see here Import. See, you press "Import" and again, you do the same way. You imported, you opened them and they're going to import the file. We're in the second way. Like I said, there's a lot of ways to do this. So just be patient. I'm going to show you all the ways and at the end I'm going to show you the way I do all the time. Another way is using the short keys. You press Control I or Command I if you are using a Mac and that's it. The same window is opening and you just choose the files and do the same thing that you were doing before. So now we're going to see another way to import the files. You're going to go up to the top of the program here where it says, File then you're going to put Import and again, same thing. The videos are here. You just choose whatever you want or highlight everything if you want everything and put Open and that's it. Now, I'm going to show you the easiest way. This is the way I always do and I always use because for me it's the easiest way. You see we have the folder here open: A day in the park. So just go to the folder. You select the three folders or whatever the folders you want to import. You click and drag it. You drag all the folders to Premier Pro and leave them there and that's it. As you can see now we have all the folders here. As easy as that. Now, let's talk about organizing our files here. I'm going to make this a little bigger so you can see what I'm doing. This is what we're talking about, the project bin, the project panel where we have all the folders. You can change the view of the files and folders by clicking here, for example, here is Reading List View. You click here and now you're going to have the view not as the icons that we had before, but this is in detail and here you're going to be able to see all the details of the files. For example, if I go to Video, you can see all the videos that we have. It's 24 frames per second, was 23.976. You get the point. Then you have the media, the start. You have everything here. Media and the starting zero ends in this, you have the duration of the videos and you can go here and you can see all the information of the files. But now if we come back to the icon view, I want to show you, you're going to have icons. You don't have much information about the videos, but you can see the videos. This is actually the most common way I use. This is the way I normally edit when I can see the videos, but it's up to you. If you feel more comfortable with the details, you can go for it. I keep saying this. I'm sorry for this. I keep saying this, but you will get it with practice and practice, you will get your own workflow and you will understand which is the best way for you to work like if it's in the details or if it's with the icons. This is going to be up to you. Now also here you're going to have the free form view. Why is it free form? Because you can actually move them and leave them there. You can do this, you can do that and that. I never used it. I never use this way. But I don't know. Maybe you guys or maybe somebody's going to find a useful way to use it. So go for it, practice and practice and you'll get your own workflow. I want to show you something very interesting. As you can see the folders here, have a color and it's like an orangey color. It's like a yellow orange. I think it's orange. Yeah. I think it's orange. You can change the colors if you want to organize better for you and for your workflow. All the folders. I'm going to show you a way and why I'm using the colors very often. Let's go to video here. Let's drag it down. There you go. All of my videos have these light blue color in the icons. But now you can see that all the videos starts with B, this is because that's from my camera. But if you go on the top, there is a video that starts with a G. That's the GoPro. I want to make a difference between these videos because actually if you see the resolution of the camera is 4K, 3,840 by 2,160, and the resolution of the GoPro is a little bit lower and I want this to be different than the other, so I want to change the color of this icon. So what you do to change the color, you go to the icon, here and then you're going to right click and you're going to look for Level. It's here and you can see it says, "Iris" color. I said light blue. It says iris. I don't know if that color really exists. I think it's a light blue. I'm going to stick with light blue. They have Caribbean, they have lavender. Let's put mango, no mango color I think is going to be very similar than the orangey, let's put magenta. Let's go for magenta. There you go. So now you can see that the GoPro is magenta and the rest of the videos are going to be blue. Maybe you have a drone footage, then you can put also color for the drone footage. When you're going to be editing, you can see the different videos and how to adjust them and how to fix them and edit them and cut them and everything. So it's really helpful these kind of organization and using the colors, this is really nice. This is what organization means. Let me tell you believe me, this is going to help a lot your workflow, a lot. Now let's fix this. I'm talking about organization I made a mess. Let's fix this to go for the next lesson.
4. It's All About TOOLS: Now that we have all our files in the project panel, let's talk about the tools that are over here so that we can start editing. I'm going to explain to you what are these tools for and what they do. We're going to start from the top. It's already marked here. This is called the Selection Tool. It looks like an arrow. I guess the name says it all. Let's choose just like four videos. What you're going to do, I just selected them. What you're going to do is to click and drag them to the timeline. Just drag them and immediately, you just created a sequence. The sequence is going to have all the settings of the videos that you chose here. But that's for the next lesson. Now we're going to show you the tools. I'm going to show you the tools. Now you understand why I called it a day in a park because basically the videos are all in a park close to the house. The Selection Tool like the name says, is just to select the files. You can select them, move them, you can put them over here, you can put them over here, is to select them and move them around. Now the short key for this is V. If you are with another key like for example, this cut tool and you press V immediately, as you can see, it changed to the arrow. So V is going to be the short key. You don't need to be going over here. We're going to talk about it. Every single tool has a different short key and you don't need to memorize all of them. But as soon as you start practicing and practicing, you're going to get the ones that you use more and you can use the short keys to make your workflow faster. Let me tell you, when you are editing videos that are really long, or videos of ten minutes, or more than ten minutes, it's going to take you a lot of time if you don't know the short keys. Remember short key for this is V. Now if we come here, we have the Track Select Forward tool like a long name and it's very useful. The short key is A. If I press A, there you go. As you can see, there are two little black arrows pointing to the left. This is the one I'm going to show you. But to show you this, I'm going to pull more videos. Let's grab all of these videos from here to here and let's just drag them into the timeline. There you go. We have a lot of footages here. What happened? Let's go back to the Select TooI, I want to show you something. What happened if you are editing here, and you want to move this to the left? When you move this to the left, you start to cut the next video. What you want is to select everything from here to the other side. But because we have so many videos, you will have to do this. But what happens if you have here like audio files, and titles, and you have so many things here, it's going to be very difficult to select everything in the left side. What you do is you just press A. Like I showed you, that's the short key for the Track Select Forward, A. Then as soon as you put the arrows on the top of this video, as you can see, it selects everything. Amazing, isn't it? Let's put V again. I'm going to show you something else if you have like this, for example. If you have like a tower and you have something here like this. If you have a lot of videos, one of the top of the other, don't worry, you'll understand why I'm doing this, the top videos and everything. Don't worry. We're talking about the tools now. We press A again, we go back to this tool. As soon as I press here, everything from here forward is going to be selected. Even all these towers. Look, when I press, everything was selected, so you move everything. It's really useful let me tell you. Let's go back. When I'm trying to show you these things and I go back to what it was, I just press "Control Z". This is actually in every software, every program that exist. Control Z is going to be always go back where it was, like you erase the last thing that you did. What happen if what I want to do is to move just this line here? I don't want these other files that are on the top to move just this line, where it says V1, A1. I'm going to explain you about this later, so don't worry. What we do is we put the arrows exactly in the same file exactly like we were doing before. But you're going to press "Shift", and look at this. It just change it to one arrow. As you click in the file, is selecting just that line, it's not selecting the ones on the tower over here. Why these two are not selected? Don't worry about it. It's because these two audios belong to these files. When I move the files, it just got there, so don't worry about it. But this is the way when you press "Shift", it's going to mark just that line and it's not going to mark the rest of the lines if you have towers here of like audios, and pictures, and titles, and things here, just this. That's the way. Let's go back to V. Always we go back to the arrow, to the select things we can move and drag the things. We go back to these files. Let's move the files here because I want to show you something. When you see the tools here, you're going to see that some of them have a little like a white triangle on the bottom. You see? It means that there's more tools inside this like a box. This is the Track Select Forward Tool, the short key A that we just did. But if you go here in the corner and you click and hold, you'll see that there's another one here. It's shift A, that means Track Select Backward Tool, and this is the short key, shift A. If you don't remember the short keys, I'm telling you when you are playing with the Premier Pro, you can see every time you mark something it says also next to it, the short keys. There you go. We just selected it. You can see that this exactly the same as before, two black arrows, but now they are pointing to the other side. So let's go to V. If you are with me in this moment, press 'V", go to Selection Tool and now press "Shift A". You see, incredible like magic. The short key makes the tool come up. What is this for? I think it's easy to understand because the arrows are pointing the other side, is exactly the same as the other tool that we were using, but to the opposite side. When you click here, it's going to mark everything to the left side, to backwards. You can move that backwards and put whatever you want here in the middle. Do you remember that when we pressed "Shift" you can move just one line, the same here. I'm going to show you. Let's put like one file here, let's make a nice tower here. We're going to shift A, there you go but now we're going to press "Shift". Look at this, it change it to one arrow. When I mark is just the same line as V1, that's the only line that is going to be marked. It's exactly the same thing as the A as the other tool, but in this case is to the other side, it's to go backwards instead of going forward as simple as that. Now let's press V. Let's go to the Selection Tool again. Let's go back to the simple four videos that we have here. I'm going to show you the next tool. The next tool is called the Ripple Edit Tool and the short key is the B. This tool is very useful, is extremely useful. Why? This is going to help you to cut files. Let me see. This is too small video, I don't want this. Let's see this one. Let's stick it here. Let's put another video, so I can show you better. We have few videos here. That's a nice dog. Let's do this. We're going to use the ripple edit tool or B. I use this tool a lot. For example, let's make this bigger. You can play with this. You can move this and make it bigger and shorter or also you can use the plus key in your keyboard and that's it. It's going to do exactly the same. If I don't like this part. Let me see. I want the model to start walking there. What I do, if I'm in V, I'm in the selection tool, I want to cut this part. Normally we're going to use this, the razor tool, that the short key is the C, that's the cut tool. I can cut this part, it's already cutted, then I go back to V, then I'm going to select these. I want to erase what I don't want because I want this to start here, but there is a hole here, so I have to select here and press delete. We stick the images together. Now it's exactly where I want it. That's like four steps to cut a footage. I don't like that. Let's go back to where it was. Again, I want to cut from here. Now we're going to use the ripple tool that we're talking about. Let's press B. We have the ripple tool now here. You can see it's like two arrows and a line in the middle with a red line saying that this is not going to work here. Let's see, this is not going to work here. Let's see, this is not going to work here, but if you go to the edge, oh my God, look at this. It changed to yellow. Now it means we can cut. What this tool is going to do is you're going to click here and drag it to the point you want to cut and look what is going to happen. Immediately you cut it and the image moved to the left. It means you don't need to erase any hole. As you can see now here is there. I need to start in exactly where I wanted to start. I'm going to give you another example. This footage that is the park and I don't know, shooting the flowers or the plants, whatever and then I go here and then a dog is just starting to come. But I can see the hand there and I can see the dog. I don't like the hand and the composition is not good. The dog is like the nose is cut. There you go. I want it to start there. You You see here, I want to cut this part here. What I do with the ripple tool is I'm going to go here, that's another example I'm giving you, and I'm going to do the swap here. What is going to happen is the video is going to stick to the left. Boom, it just start to left and now as you can see, this is all the desire of the plants, all the plants and then boom, look where it started, where I want it, the nose. This is basically what the ripple tool is doing, is helping you to cut, but then it's pushing all the footages to the left, so everything is going to be organized. You don't need to be doing this four, five steps to cut. Now, if you put it in the next footage, the arrow just switch. You see the arrow is pointing to the right and now it's pointing to the left. It means you can do exactly the same in the left. These footages here, boom, are going to come close to the left and stick to it. Let me tell you something. This is going to save you so much time. Just remember that I showed you is four steps to cut a footage and with this, we just do it in one step. So this is going to help you a lot. I know that there are a few tools here. You don't need to remember all of them. Just practice and when you practice, you're going to get them and you're going to choose the ones you like better. Because I'm going to tell you a secret. I don't use all of the tools, I just few of them and it's my workflow. When you start to practice, when you start to edit, I'm telling you is a lot of fun editing. Then you're going to figure out which are the tools you're going to use some and you're going to create your own workflow and you're going to choose the ones that you like better. Don't worry about learning everything at 100 percent because, that's not the way, practice is the way. Let's see the extra options in the ripple tool because as you can see here is also a little white triangle here. Let's press, hold. As you can see, you have the rolling edit tool, the short key is N. You have the rate stretch tool and the short key is R. Let's go to the rolling edit tool. Remember short key, N. Look at these. It's like four arrows align and it's like a weird symbol. But every time you put it where you can use it, it's going to change the color and now it's all red. You see, very nice. Now, what this tool does, is to pull more information of one clip while taking information of another. For you to understand what I just said, let's pull this video here. Let's pull it also here down so it's completely separated from the others. Remember that we cut, the nose was horrible. It was cutted in the composition, so I reduced the video. I cut the video to start from here. Let me tell you something. I didn't erase that part of the footage. What I did is, I cut that footage for the editing, but I didn't erase the information. If you drag all the way here, you can see that I just got the information back. Look at this. Information is back, the hand that I didn't want it to appear, the dog here, and then the nose of the dog and the head of the dog was cutted, all the information is here. What I just did is when I cut what I do is, I hide the information. Now that we understand everything about the information of the videos and this thing that I explained now, now I want to explain you how this tool works. Remember we're talking about the rolling edit tool or the short key N. There you go. I just press N and it came everything. Let me see. Don't get confused. I'm going to start erasing the audios so you're not going to get confusing. This is going to be easier to understand. There you go. Let's cut this a little bit. This is the dog. Perfect. I'm going to show you how this works. Let's go into press N and we go to the rolling edit tool. Now we have the rolling edit tool. What is going to happen is this. Let's check out this video. She's walking, she's walking, she's walking, she's about to smell the flowers and boom, the dog starts there. I I want that. I want this to appear here. For example, while the dog is standing or a little bit, there you go. What I'm going to do like the name says rolling tool, I'm going to roll these video forward because remember I was telling you every video that I cutted actually still have information. I'm going to show you here, these video has also information. Look is about to start smelling the flowers and the dog is coming. But if I pull this, I have a lot of information here that I cut it and I don't want to cut it now. Let's go back like how it was. I was just explaining. Sorry. What I'm going to do with the tool, I'm going to start rolling. Did you see what is happening? I'm rolling. On the top, you can see in the left, she was about to start to smell the flowers and then I cut it. But now look at this, she's smelling the flowers. In the other side, that the dog is standing. There you go. I want this to happen there. I release the button and looks what it happened. What happened is this tool pull information from this video and took out information from the other video. Now, as you can see, if you play it, she's getting close to the flower. She's smelling the flowers now, before she was not. Then the dog is there, exactly where I wanted, when he's watching in front, remember? So that's it. That's a rolling tool. I'm going to show you another example so you can understand, with the same video. We are in V, remember. We're starting from zero, we have the arrow selection tool, we have these two videos. Now we're going to do it, but to the opposite side. She is smelling the flowers. I don't want her to smell the flowers. I want her to smell the flowers just until there. When she's starting to smell the flowers I want to cut this, but at the same time I want this video to grow. So I'm going to press N again, and I'm going to do the opposite. You can see on the top what I'm cutting and what I'm adding. You see in the left is Ksenia that is smelling the flowers, and in the right is the dog. You can see where I'm going to start and where I'm going to finish. There you go. Now she is starting to smell the flowers and the dog is coming. To make it more understandable, every video has an in point and an out point. In this case, for example, the in point is Ksenia walking and the out point is Ksenia is starting to smell the flowers. The other video, the in point is the dog facing on the front and the out point is the dog leaving. You can see my shadow here recording. The dog leaving, and my horrible shadow here recording. That's the out point. What the rolling tool does is, when I press the out point of the first video, is going to move it and is going to change the in point of the second video. The second video, the in point is going to be later and the out point of the first video is going to be later also. That's what is moving. You see, we're moving all the out points. If I go the opposite side, for example, Ksenia is going backwards, and I don't want her to smell the flowers, so I go back and now look at this. Now Ksenia is just walking. The out point changed, and the dog and the hand is coming because the in point of the second video changed also. I know sometimes this can sound a little confusing. My suggestion, as I always do, this is an editing software, so my suggestion is play with it. Go put a lot of footages and start to use all the tools and then you're going to understand 100 percent how the tools are working. Now let's go to V again, we are with the selection tool, and let's go back here. Remember that we have the rolling tool. If you press in the corner, you have three options. We already saw the ripple edit tool, the B, we saw the rolling edit tool just now, let's now check the rate stretch tool. Remember that what is written here it helps a lot. Ripple tool is the tool that is rippling the footages. Rolling tool is making the footages rolling in front, rolling backwards, rolling forward. It's simple as that. Now the rate stretch tool, we're going to stretch the footages, and let's see how it works. The short key, R. Again, these arrows, weird arrows with the red line means that we cannot do anything now here. As soon as we get here, the arrows are changing. To show you how this works, we're going to pull the footage up. This video here has like seven seconds. You see it starts here walking and finishes when Ksenia is smelling the flowers. What the stretch tool is going to do is to make this video shorter or longer, but it's not going to change the in point and the out point. It's not going to change it, what it's going to do is to stretch the video out. If I go here, for example, and I push the arrow like this, now the video is shorter, but I didn't cut it, I stretched it in. So now it's going to be fast. Look at this. She's walking like she's running; super-fast. Now what we're going to do is the opposite. What happens if I stretch it out? Look at this, it's in slow motion because I'm not changing the in point and the out point. The video is sustained exactly the same, but I'm stretching it out. It's also very useful. I use this tool a lot. This is one of the tools I use a lot. Then you can see it's 48 percent. A hundred percent would be the regular speed, 48 percent is a little bit less than half of the speed. If I go shorter, there you go, we can make it bigger so we can read a little bit. Let's put the blue line here. Now we are in 202 percent, so this is double the speed. Basically, this is what this tool does. It's not cutting, it's shorten the video and making it longer, but it's not cutting. It's stretching. Again, practice. Go into Premiere now, open it, if you don't have it open, and start to put footages there and start to stretch them out. This is the only way you're going to learn to use Premiere Pro faster. Now we're going to go back how it was before. Don't worry because we're going to use all of these tools in the next lesson when we're going to start editing. Now we go to the simple razor cut, the razor tool. It's just to cut. This is going to make all the cuts you want, you want to cut here, you want to cut here, here. This is for cutting all the footages however you want. I don't use it much, believe it or not, because most of the people I know they use this tool a lot. I don't use it much because like I showed you before, when you cut something, you cut it because you don't want it, then you have to go back to the selection tool or B, then you have to select the item you don't want because you just cut it, erase it, but then the video cannot have a hole, so you have to paste it again. It's too many steps, that's why I don't use it much. I use more the ripple, the rolling, and all of these tools. I don't use it much, but that's why the cut is here, that's what the cut does. Because there's so many cuts, let's go back to how it was. There you go. Now let's go to the next tool, and this is the slip tool. For the slip tool, let's use these file that it's long, the dog and whatever. Let's cut it here and let's cut it a little bit here, and let's use this file. Now we are going to use the slip tool, that is, the letter Y, that's the short key. What the slip tool is going to do is this; the size of the video is always going to stay the same of this footage. You can see that it starts here and finishes here. I'm going to move the things here inside, but the size is the same. I'm not shorting the video or making the video longer, not at all. Remember that we have some information here and some information here that we cut from the video, but we didn't erase. What we're going to do is to change the in point and the out point. I'm moving inside the video. To explain you better, let's do this. There you go. Start point; the dog. If I start to move it, you can see on the top where the video starts, and on the right side, you see where the video is going to end. You see? There you go. I'm going to leave it there. Now you can see that the video is starting there. It's not starting where it was before. Remember his nose here. Let's go all the way to the other side. Now look where the video is starting, with the face is here on the top. The nose was here before and now it's on the top. So I moved the video. What you do here is you move the video to the right or to the left inside the same spot. Now the question is, why would I use that? Let's go here. Let's stick all the videos together. Let's say Ksenia is smelling the flowers, she's so nice, and then the dog is there. Let's use the Rib tool and let's go how it was. Let's go here. Ksenia is here and she's going to smell the flowers. There you go. Then the dog starts and here's the hand there that I didn't want to appear. So what I do is I press "Y". I'm going to change the endpoint. I want to move a little bit and you can see in the left side the hand. The hand, I don't want it. So I'll just move it a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, and then the face is cut of the dog. There you go. In the left side you can see that the face is not cut anymore. I just release the clicking button, and now you can see here that she's smelling the flowers, and the dog is starting there. What I'm doing is I'm moving the video inside the same size of the video because I have information and information here. But what happen if I want to do that with this video? In this video, you can see that here on top corners, there is like a white triangle. I'm going to put it out so you can see it. You see here, white triangle, white triangle. What does it mean? I didn't cut anything in these videos. So here there's no information and here no information. If I want to pull it, I can't. If I want to pull it, I can't. There's no information here. So if I want to use the Slip tool lead it's not going to be possible because I don't have the information in the sides to play with. That's as simple as that. Like I said before, I'll suggest you to put the videos together, your footages that you know them very good like you filmed them, and then you know that it starts in this, it finishes in this, and play with these tools so you can understand better. It's the only way we can practice and we can learn more about these tools. Because if you've never edit a video or this is the first time that you are going to edit videos, then you are not going to understand much just by listening; you have to practice. So go and try these tools, try the Slip tool, and all of these tools to understand. As you can see here in the Slip tool, there's also here on the bottom a triangle. It means there's more here, and it's this Slide tool. In the Slide tool, you have the short key, "U". Again, all the tools are actually named for a reason. You're going to slide the videos. For example, I have this video. This video is her walking and smelling the flowers. We're using always these so we can understand the tools. Then when we start to edit, we're going to use all the videos that I filmed in the park just to make this course. So she's starting to walk and she's smelling the flowers. I don't want to change the size of this. This is really nice. I like exactly how it is, she start to walk and then she smells the flowers. But the dog here, I don't mind if this footage is going to change a little bit, and I don't mind if this footage is going to change a little bit because as you can see from the footage starts to the end is very similar. So I don't mind. What I want to do is to move this footage where she's smelling the flowers, as you can see, she walks and smell the flowers, to move this footage a little bit to this side, to the left side. So backwards. But I don't want the whole editing and the whole video to change the size or the time. What I'm going to do is I'm going to pull this video, that is the one I want to move to the left side, but when I'm going to do it, look at this, you see the brown lines. This is what it's telling me. I'm going to cut part of the video from the left and pull part of the video from the right click. Now what I did is I moved this video without changing anything from the video, but the video before, this one, I cut it. I cut a little piece of this video. This video here where the dog is, I add a little bit of information of this video. So I slip it, and if I do the opposite, I want now these videos. Remember that the middle footage, the one I'm moving is not going to change. It's going to start always in the endpoint, it's going to be the same, and the outpoint is going to be the same. This is not going to change. What I'm going to change is the videos next to that video. As soon as I start to pull this video, to slide it to the right, I'm starting to cut the video from the right and to pull part of the information of the video from the left. This is what this Slide tool does, slides everything to the sides. Remember, the short key for this is "U". Now let's go to the next tool, the Pen tool. I'm not going to explain the Pen tool now because we use the Pen tool to create keyframes and we're going to talk about keyframes in a future lesson. It's actually a whole lesson about just keyframes. This is to make animations and put volume up or down. I'm going to explain to you everything about keyframes in the future lesson, so don't worry. We're going to skip the Pen tool for now, and then let's go to the Hand. This is basically a tool to move in the timeline. As you can see, we're moving the timeline. You can also use this to move in the timeline, but it's easier when you are editing here. You start to go in all the way down, you just press "H", that is the short key for the hand, and then you can move it like this. It's simple but very useful. Now, if you press here, you have also the Zoom tool. What the Zoom tool does, it's too get closer and closer. Let's make it super big. Now I'm going to show you the Zoom tool. It gets closer and closer and closer to the footages. You're going to use a lot of Zoom tool if you are, for example, using audio here and you want to cut exactly when the person starts to talk and the person stop talking, or when the dog is coming exactly there, you want to be very precise with the footages, then you're going to use the Zoom tool. The short key is "Z". So you don't need to come all the way here and press the Zoom tool because as simple as press and set. Let's go to V, for example, we're with the Selection tool, you press "Z" and it goes to the Zoom tool immediately. So no problem. There's always many ways to do everything in Premiere Pro. Another way to zoom also is pressing the plus key in your keyboard, and that's it, you're going to zoom in. As you can see, zoom in and zoom out. Let's go to the next tool that is the T or text. Don't worry also because we are going to make a whole lesson about texts and about how to create titles and all of these details. So don't worry, we're not going to talk about it now, but that's what this is here for. If you press the T, then you can come here and you can start typing whatever the title you want to type, and then you can change the fonts, and you can create animations. We're going to do that in future lessons, so don't worry. Now if you see the arrow here, it means there's something else. When you press here, you have the Vertical Type tool. It means when you type, it goes vertical, as you can see. But, again, don't worry. We're going to do a proper lesson about texts and titles. As you can see, learning about the tools could be a little overwhelming. But don't worry, with practice, everything gets easier. There is a secret: I don't use all the tools. I don't think any professional editor is using specifically all the tools. We use some of them. With practice and using all the tools and trying to learn about the tools, you're going to understand which tools are better for you, for your workflow. Don't worry, practice and practice and you'll understand and you learn which are the tools for you. Now, let's start editing.
5. Let's Start Editing: Okay, guys. Now I think it's time to start editing. We organized already all our footages. Well, I actually add this synchronizing audio and I add some little things like audio here. Remember, it was just music, pics and video, now we have these two. You will see we're going to use everything from here to explain most of the things about editing. We know already everything about the tools, we understand also now the timeline, and we know that here in the program panel, we're going to visualize everything we're editing. But we didn't use yet the source panel, and here's where we are going to pre-visualize our footage. I'm going to show you an example. Let's go here to video. These are the videos that we have. As I told you, my workflow is always here. I don't want to look at the icons, I want to see actually the videos. So if you come a little bit here, let's move this a little bit. Now, let's go to video. There we go, here, icons so I can see the videos, there we go. How these source panel works when I set it to pre visualize is before we create a sequence and before we pull the images and the footage is here, we can actually be more organized and use this panel. Let's see for example here, this video. If you double-click in the video, now you can see the video here. You are pre-visualizing the video here. You can see the footage, all the footage of that video. So why is it useful? Imagine if in the timeline over here, what I want to do is to put the video from when she starts to cross the street, when she's in the middle of the road or of the street, there you go, from there. Can you see the symbols here? If you click here, that's an in point. By default, it's going to mark everything, but maybe you don't want everything in the right side. You're going to see, for example, I want her to be crossing the street from the middle of the road, here. Just a little bit like five to six steps until there, and then you're going to go to this symbol that is the opposite, the Mark Out symbol, there you go. It's already marked. This piece of the footage is the one that I want here in the timeline. Then I just drag the footage to the timeline and there you go. It's there, and it exactly just what I selected. What is this good for? You can select already everything from here in and out point, and you just drag it to the timeline, whatever is in the timeline is going to be already edited. Sometimes you don't need to use it, you can actually put the same footage. Let's do something else. Let's put, for example, this footage. You can drag it to the timeline. You can actually edit here and cut here whatever you want from the footage. It's not necessary that you want to do it here. But little by little during the editing you will see, when is that I use the source panel and when is that I edit here, also don't worry, step-by-step. I just wanted to show you what is the source panel forum. Now like you know, in Premiere Pro, there's always different ways to do the same thing. Remember, we just double-clicked in the video and appeared here. If we double-click in this video and then it's going to be here. This is one of the ways. The other way to put the footage here to pre-visualize it in the Source panel, it's just to drag it. You drag the footage here, there you go and you have it here. Everything you want to do in Premiere Pro is going to have many ways on how to do it. Now, remember, I showed you that when you move around the footage here in the source panel, you put here that it means Mark in, that's the in point, and then if you come here, for example, you put the out point. Let's do it in a different way. Remember there's many ways and there's always short keys that are going to help you to make your workflow fast. You come here for example, you wanted from there, instead of looking for the symbol and putting the Mark In, you just press I, that's it. Then for example, you come here, and there you go. I want it there, just press O and that's it, it's going to work in the same way. Actually you can also do the same here in the timeline when you are editing, if you want to select a part of the footage mark in and out with I and O. Let's go back and now it's time to create a sequence because we need to create a sequence to start editing. Right now, we have nothing here. You can see its written here, No Sequences. How to create a sequent. This is going to sound funny because I'm repeating these all the time, but there's many ways to create a sequence like everything in Premiere Pro. The first way to create a sequence is to click here where it says New Item. You see we are in the source panel, new item and then you have a list of options here and the top one is sequence. When you press here, this is going to pop up, and now you don't have to worry about these sequence presets. We're not going to use any presets, but you have some camera presets here, and actually in the future where you start to really dig into Premiere Pro, you can get different presets and have them here. You install them or you can create your own presets, but don't worry about this. Let's go to settings, In settings, set editing mode to DSLR. I don't want you to get confused, don't worry, because the second option, the second way on how to create the sequence is, the sequence is so simple you are never going to use this, this way. Let's keep going. It says Timebase 29.97 frames per second. We can change it to actually 24 frames per second or 23.976 frames per second, however you want. Frame size is going to be 1920 and 1080. You can change these if you want 4k because this is HD. You can change however you want, you just have the audio samples 48,000 hertz. It's actually the best way to use it, there you go. Now, you have a sequence. You can also change the name in the sequence because you can see here it was created. Remember, we put Create Sequence here, so its created here, you just right-click, you're going to put Rename, and you can type whatever you want in the name of the sequence, and it's going to change also the name here, as you can see. Remember, this sequence we just created, It was 1080 sequence HD definition, but these videos are 4k. What is going to happen is don't worry, like I said before, don't worry because everything is going to be changeable. You're going to pull this video here, that's the way to create a sequence and they're going to ask you, this clip doesn't match the sequence settings. Change sequence to match the clip settings, why? Because we have 4k resolution and we just created the sequence in 1080, that is HD resolution, so our videos are higher. As soon as you press Change Sequence Settings, all the settings that we missed when we were creating this sequence are going to be fixed, there you go, It's fixed. You cannot see the video because we are really zoomed out. If we zoom in, we're going to be able to see the video. Remember, when we want to pull this footage, we're not pulling the whole footage. We are pulling just the part that we put in and out, it's still marked here, you see? If we want the whole footage remember that in tools, I was telling you we still have the information here, so you can still pull the information out or you can still pull the information from here, don't worry about it. Let's erase these, and let's erase this sequence because I'm going to teach you now how to do a sequence in the second way and the way that I'm using always. We're back in the timeline that is No Sequences. We're going to create a sequence. How am I going to do it? Simple, I'm just going to take the video and drag it into the timeline. Immediately, the sequence was created. This is a simple way, I think it's the easiest way, and this is the way I'm always doing to create my sequences or [inaudible]. Now, even if I erase the video, like you can see, I just took the video out, but the sequence was created already. Let's change the name of the sequence because this is the sequence we're going work with, A Day In The Park. Now, when you are going to export the video, it's going to come with this name. Of course you can change it, but to be organized always, let's try to be organized like I said. To be organized, we put the name already to the sequence and we keep going because you never know, maybe you are working in a project like in this case, I'm creating a course for you guys, so I have different lessons, so I don't put all the lessons in the same sequence. I have different sequences like lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3, and so on. So if you're going to create different sequences also it's good to have them named properly. Organization is very important when you are editing, especially when you have a lot of footages, it's very important. I can even create a bin where it's going to be called sequences, where I can put all the sequences there, but we're just going to do this sequence so it doesn't matter, but I'm going to teach you how to do it. Let's come back here in project: A day in the park, remember, where we have all the folders. Just click here in the emptiness and now you can click Control B. There you go, and then you have a bin. You can put in the bin sequences. This is exactly like when you play with your desktop, this is going to work very similar. You can come, for example, to video. Every time you open one of these folders, it's going to open next to each other. You see, I opened video before to show you this and it's open. I don't remember opening these, but okay. We opened video, so it's here. What we're going to do is let's take the sequence here a day in the park and drag it to project a day in the park, and then it's going to open this and let's drag it to sequences and release. Now here inside this folder sequences, we have the sequence a day in the park. Let's go to video and let's start editing. Now we have a sequence that is called a day in a park. Now, I did this first video. Let's open it here in Source and it's in purpose not focused, it's blurry as you can see. Then here I am focused. It's a little blurry because I wanted to start the video like this, blurry, and then it gets focused and then the whole video is going to be focused. Now what I want is this, let's make the video start from here, when she's starting because you can see she's waiting. When she's just starting to walk. There you go. Let's put I, remember I told you I is in point mark in, and then let's do some steps over there. Let's do it like this, over there. Well, let's leave the whole video. Now, you have two ways to pull the video here in the timeline. You can pull it from here all the way and it's there. I'm going to release so you can see it. Also, I'm going to make it bigger. If you pull it again, you're going to copy the same video, but also you can do this. You see here these like a little line and a video film, and next they are like audio waves. If you pull just this. Look at this, I'm touching these like a video film with a line. I'm pulling, I'm dragging this. Did you see that? I just drag the video. I didn't drag the video and the audio. The video and the audio are going to be dragged if you drag from here. Now if you drag the audio waves, look at this. I'm dragging just the audio. If you want to drag both, you drag it from here. There you go. Let's stick with the first one. I'm going to erase this. Let's stick with the first one. There you go. This is what we want. Now, she's starting and approaching. You can see that she's approaching the edge of the road. Here in this part, she is in the edge of the road so let's cut there, I wanted to put it there. I'm showing you another video to have few examples of everything. She's going to walk towards the middle, and then we're going to put O remember, out, mark, out. We're going to drag again the whole video with the audio, and we're going to put it here. Now I'm going to show you something. Did you see that when I'm getting close to these, if you see it's like a magnet. Look at this. It's a magnet that it's pulling exactly in the line. How am I doing this? It's because you can see here in the timeline, there is a magnet, you see? It's called snap in timeline and it's marked, it's in blue, so it means it's marked. That's what makes this magnet. If I take it out, now it's not marked as you can see. It's not going to snap there. So it means it's more difficult, I have to be very precise to move it. Then your question would be, but then why would I have it unmarked if when I'm editing, I wanted everything to be perfect. Why would I do that? I'm going to explain to you something. Imagine that you have audio waves here. Now, imagine that you want to cut or you want to put like something exactly here. You don't want the magnet, you want to put this over, but you want to put this over exactly a wave. You see? Because if I hold the other video and I pull it over this video, I'm cutting the video. You see? I'm going over the video. If I want to be not where the line is, I want to be exactly like somewhere here, what I will do is to take out this. So it's not going to snap, because if I don't snap here, it's going to snap in the blue line. I don't want it to snap, and then I have more control to put it wherever I want. But let me tell you something. This is in blue and it's active 99.999 percent of the time when I'm editing. I just wanted to show you what is happening or why would I do that to have it not selected. Now you know what this is for. Now we have this and we have our second video. This is blur and then boom. Why I did also this blur, because here we are going to put a text that is going to appear around here saying a day in the park, and then boom, it's going to come this now. You see it's very harsh to cut there, but we're going to fix everything. I think you can see that she's waiting, let me see. It's okay. You know what? I want to cut a little bit like here. I think I want to cut this part until she's already walking. There you go, over there. I want to cut this part. Remember we were talking about the tools and we talked about this tool that is a Ripple Edit tool, letter "B" as a short key. So I'm going to use this one. Let's press "B", let's go here and let's cut this part that I don't want. Boom, done. See it cut over there and it went back to the left, so everything is very good. Now I just keep editing. Let's press" V", so we go back to the select tool so we can move and drag and play with all the tools. Now, let's do the same with all the videos. Let's go now to this video, double-click, I can see here where I want it. I want it maybe there. I, that is the mark in, and I think there is going to be okay. "O" , and all the video. Don't worry. There you go, the snap there. I love this because it's clipped here in the magnet. Let's do that with all the videos, and then we're still going to edit. Then when we put the music, when we add the audios and everything, we're going to still edit and trimming all of the footages to match the music, and so on. So now, I'm going to do what I just did with all the videos. I guess we're done. I just cut it to most of the footages, I did my best. Now we can see that most of the footages have audio. These ones I didn't put audio because I'm 100 percent sure I'm not going to use the audio of these ones. But let's see, you can hear a dog barking and I want it, I want to use that footage. I didn't like that one because you hear the police or something. So what I'm going to do, because I see that in few of these audios, there is cars and things like that, then I'm going to keep the dog barking in the first two audios, and the rest of the audios, I'm going to take them out. Now, how to erase these audios. If you click here in the audio, you see it's going to mark the whole footage, audio and video, and if I erase it, pressing Delete, everything goes away. So let's press Control Z and go back to where it was. How am I going to erase the audio without erasing the footage? Let's click in the empty here. Now, you're going to press Alt, hold it and press the audio, and you see holding Alt while you press the audio is selecting just the audio, and then you can erase the audio. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to press Alt. While holding Alt, I'm going to select all the audios, you see, but I have to hold Alt, that's the only way they're going to be unlinked, and then I can erase the audios. Let's go back here and also do the same, Alt and then just erase the audio. Now, I got the footages that I want, exactly how I want it. Then of course we are going to make it as better as we can, the best as we can. We're going to try to fix it little by little during the course, but this is going to be our edit. We cut, we trim the footages how we want it, and this is the end of the footages that I filmed with the camera. But there is still one footage that we're missing. Well, of course, there's this footage that I am not using, this footage that I'm not using, because I didn't like them or is repeated, so I'm just going to erase them. You can come here up. There you go. You mark it, then you press Delete, because we're not going to use them and I don't want to get confused. Remember, organization is the most important. Like I was saying, we're going to use this footage that we didn't. I'm waiting for the end to show you this footage because this footage this was made with the GoPro, and look at the quality of the footage is 2704 by 1520. But the footages that we have with the camera are real 4K, are bigger than this. So look what happen when I pull the footage over here. I just pull it. I didn't edit it or anything because I just want to show you this. When we come here, look at this. It's not the same size as the older footages, so what are you going to do? This is going to happen, for example, you're making a video and you're filming with a camera, and then there is something that came by surprise and you just took your phone and you filmed with your phone, then you have another camera, or you have three cameras, you're doing an interview and you're using two cameras, or whatever you are doing and you have different footages with different sizes, this is going to happen. So what are you going to do? It's Premier Pro remember, there's different ways that you can do. What you have to do here is to select the video, and then here is source panel instead of being here, remember we were here in source and we were checking our videos. Let's go here to effect control. When you come to effects, all the information that is here, everything that is here belongs to this footage that is selected. If you're going to add effects to the footages, they're going to appear here also. Don't worry, we'll talk about it in future lessons, but now let's focus in scaling this thing, let's make it the perfect. This is very small and you don't want to see this black frame over here. So one of the ways you can do this is coming here to scale, and then go up in scale so you can scale it up, I think is 142 percent. So it means we had to make it bigger. Now, there is another way, let's go to 100 percent again. It's so small. What you do is you select right-click, and you can see here you have set to frame size and scale to frame size. What we're going to do, because the video is smaller, you can use any of these ones. If the video is bigger, I will suggest you to use it to frame size, but I want to explain you this in a future lesson, don't worry. For now, we're going to choose set to frame size and you can see that the scale is doing exactly the same thing, so you didn't need to select, come to effect and do all of these things, Just right-click, set to frame size and it's done. What do you think if we use this footage as the end? Let's finish, they start to move there. I don't want this part because this part is steady, and when it starts to move, there you go. I want it from there. So let's press "B". Remember "B" is the rebel tool, and we're going to go there and back is going to get where I want it. So let's move and let's imagine that we're going to banish there and finish the video over there, there you go. We just do the same thing, and it's done. Let's press "V", so we come back to the arrow, the selective tool, and that's it. As you can see, we already edited everything, we selected everything, and we did what we wanted to do. Here she's coming to me. Let me see, there's one part that I wanted to show you now. In this footage here, for example, it's too shaky, you can see that I'm walking with the camera really bad. Let's watch it again. That's very shaky. What are we going to do? In the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to stabilize the image, how to take this shaky thing and make it super smooth, gimbal smooth. So let's go to the next lesson.
6. Stabilizing Your Footage: We're back and now we're going to stabilize this image as I was saying in the previous lesson. Let's select the image. You can see here in the source panel, the effects of this image, this footage. We don't have any effect. You can see here motion is just the position scale, rotation and all of the information about this video that we can change if we want. But there's no effects, which is the effect we're going to use to stabilize the image. We're going to come here in Effect. Remember that this effect normally is going to be here next to your subtitles, here to your titles. But I pull it and I put it here next to the project panel because I like to have it here because it's for my workflow is the best. I like it like this. We're going to come here in Effects. We're going to put warp. It's not necessary to write anything else. It's already here, Warp Stabilizer. You can see that it's in video effects, distort and then Warp Stabilizer. You don't need to remember the position of everything because as soon as you type here in this white square, it's going to come up. What we'll do is we take this and we drag it and drag it to the footage and release. Now you see that this is red. Why is red? First, the best option is that everything is in green. It means that the Premiere Pro is running perfectly. Your footages are not that heavy. Premier Pro can run it properly and play back the footage properly. But I'm using 4K resolution and the videos are really high-quality. Then because of that, it's all yellow. It means that Premiere Pro is going to be able to play back the footage, but you know what? It's struggling a little bit. But it's doing it properly. Now if it's red, it means it's not going to be able to play it back. Maybe if you are lucky it could. But the red color is telling you the view is 4K, the resolution is high, and now you put this Warp Stabilizer that it's in effect, that it's really tough. If you come here to the effects and you go down, you will see that the Warp Stabilizer is there because we just added to this video. It's in 37 percent, 38 percent. It means it's stabilizing the image frame by frame. That's why it takes a little bit to do it. The smoothness is 50 percent. I was shaky, but I was not that bad. So I'm not going to put more smoothness. I think 50 percent is okay. As soon as this finishes stabilizing, it's going to change the color. It's not going to be red because as soon as it finish, Premier Pro analyzed already all the frames. Premiere Pro is going to recognize the frames analyzed and then it's going to be better. Here with the Warp Stabilizer, if we come a little bit lower while it's analyzing, you have some options, no motion, smooth motion. You can tell the effect how to deliver the smoothness of the stabilizing if it's with motion or with no motion. In this case because I'm moving, I'm walking towards her, smooth motion would be nice because it's going to be easier for the effect to stabilize the image. It's going to be okay with a little bit of movement because I'm walking. Smoothness, 50 percent. If you put 100 percent, it's going to take longer and it's going to struggle a little bit to do it, but it's going to do it. Sometimes the video doesn't look properly, doesn't look natural. So it's better to give just 50 percent in this case of smoothness. Sometimes if I see that the video is not much shaky, is not that bad, I can even put it 30, 40 percent, so don't worry. Just leave the default to give you the option. Don't worry. It's about to be 100 percent. It's 98 percent. Now we can actually focus here. It's already stabilizing. It's in orange because it finished the stabilization and now it's yellow and now it's stabilized. We can go and look how it plays smooth the stabilizing. You see it's not that bad, is not anymore shaky. You can see it's struggling a little bit to show you the image. It's struggling. What can we do to fix this, to make it smoother? Why is it struggling? Because it's so high resolution. We come here, you see half, full, half, a quarter, one-eighth. What does it mean? What is this that is here in the program panel? This is that the resolution you see here is half of the resolution of the real video. I did this so it can play smoother. I can see it's still struggling a little bit. What we're going to do is to reduce this maybe to a quarter. Let's see if it works better. I think it's playing better. Still is struggling a little bit, but it's playing better. Now I don't care about the resolution of the image while I'm editing. I care about the resolution at the end of the editing. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go even to one. Let's see, in one-eighth is going to play smoother, is going to be nicer. You can see resolution is not the same, but is playing smooth. That's what I want. We're talking about playback here, but we were actually focusing in stabilizing the image. But you can see it's not shaky anymore, is stabilized and this is incredible. I love it. Now let's do something different. I'm going to show you something different. Every time you put pause, you see a good quality. Don't worry that the real quality is here. Now let's separate this video for now. Let's take this stabilization effect. How are you going to take this stabilization? You select the image, the footage. We come here to Effect Control. You have the Warp Stabilizer, you click it and you delete it. Immediately, the effect is gone. Now it's shaky again. You see it's super shaky. Why I did this? Because I want to show you something. If the image is like this and imagine if you know what? I want to stabilize it, but also I want it to be in slow motion. I want it to be like not in 100 percent speed. I want it in maybe 80 percent speed. What you're going to do, let's open a little bit this, is right-click and you see here speed, duration. Speed, duration is in 100 percent. That's the normal speed. If we want to make it faster, like double time, double faster, we're going to put 200 percent, but we want it a little slow motion, not like half speed, maybe we want it like 80 percent of slow motion. You see the video here just grew. But it's stretched because it's 80 percent of slow motion. Let's see how it looks. That's a slow motion you see, but it's super shaky. What I'm going to do now because I just want to show you what happened when you are adding an effect and you want to add another effect. There are some effects that are so strong, make Premier Pro to struggle that when you put them together, they don't want to work together. As simple as that. Here we have an effect that is making the image slow motion. Now we are going to come back here to Effects. We're going to pull the Warp Stabilizer. Look what it happened. It's a red line here and it's telling me, you see here in the corner, bottom corner, there is a sign. It's an emergency. Something happened. When you click it, this is opening. Warp Stabilizer and speed can't be used on the same clip. It means I cannot do anything here. I cannot stabilize the image because I give the image slow speed. What I'm going to do, let's click Control Z to erase their Warp Stabilizer. I still want this to be 80 percent. What we're going to do, we're going to nest this footage. What does it mean? When we nest the footage, we are basically creating an image for Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro is going to understand the footage as an 80 percent speed. Then when Premiere Pro understand the image as an 80 percent speed, it means that it's like it doesn't have an effect. Then we're going to be able to do the Warp Stabilizer. Right-click again, you have a lot of options here. We used already a couple of them. We're going to nest. You see here nest. We nest and it says name the nested sequence. You want to name it, do it. I'm going to put here nest Warp Stabilizer slow mo. I understand what it means. I understand what is the nest sequence that I just created. Look at this. Now it turn to green. It means it's nested. It's in slow motion and is nested. Look, we can actually now drag the Warp Stabilizer here. There you go. Now it's analyzing. There's no emergency sign or anything. Well, this one is still here, but this is from before. You just click here and clear all and that's it. You don't have anything here, you don't have to worry. The Warp Stabilizer is stabilizing the slow motion image. You can see here is in seven percent. Of course it's going to take a little longer than before because the image is bigger. Let's wait for it to finish and I'll show you how it looks. It's stabilizing and done. It's stabilized. This is already stabilized and I'm going to show you slow motion and stabilization. Look at this. It's slow motion and stabilization, is very good. You see these little stops is because the computer still struggles a little bit with one-eighth, but still it's good for editing, so it's okay, is stabilize. There you go. I wanted to show you something before we go to the next lesson, because the next lesson is a lot of fun. The next lesson is going to add our music, sound effects, and everything. What I wanted to show you is this. Let's erase here warp, here from the Effects. We have presets. You have lumetri presets, audio effects, audio transitions, video effects, video transitions and marios choice. I created this. What you do is you come to Effect here. You're going to put new Custom Bin. When you click it, it appears this custom bin. You can put, I don't know, video effects are used a lot and you can add all the effects you want. I'm going to show you how. I'm going to erase this because I already have my marios choice. You just select it, delete and are you sure you want to delete this item? Yes. In marios choice, as you can see, I have additive dissolve, cross dissolve, dip to black, lumetri color and Warp Stabilizer. These are some of the effects I use a lot. Then some of the other effects that I have here in presets and things like that. But these are the ones I use a lot. For example, let's go to video transitions. I don't know. Not video transitions. For example, I go to video effects, let's go to blur. You can see camera blur. I use camera blur sometime. You're going to select it and drag it down. What I'm going to do is this, so I can show you how it works. You can extend this for now so I can show you how it works. Oh my god, I have to go all the way down. Camera blur. You select Camera Blur and you just drag it down to marios choice. You see, there you go. Now when you come here, you can see in marios choice camera blur. This is the way you can choose also create your own bean and choose whatever you want from the effects or whatever you want, presets, transitions, whatever you just pull it in your bin and this is basically the ones that you're going to use more. This is effective and very, very, very time savor. Let's use it a lot. I'll use it a lot now let's go back to how it was. Don't get scared because Premier Pro is very user-friendly. You can really pull and push and do whatever you want with the layout. That's what I just did now. Let's go back. Now in the next lesson, we're going to add music and sound effects.
7. Adding Audio MUSIC and SFX: We're here, we're going to add music now. You remember we took out the audio of most of the videos. We just start with these two audios. It's because I hear the dogs barking and this is the environment, the bark environment. Then the music that I chose also, I already have an idea on how to edit the video. This is something I'm going to recommend you also. I saw a lot of creative people and editors that they first listen to a music, a song that they like, and they start to get inspired to do the video. This is what I did here in this video. I found a song that I liked, and then I started to film based in the song. It could happen to you, try a few things, maybe you are going to like it also, like I do. Let's go to the song. Well, we can close video, we used already all the videos, so we can close this panel, then we open the bin. Sequences, we are just doing this sequence so we don't need to have more sequences open, we can close the panel. Don't worry, they're all here. Now let's go to music. This is the song that we chose. If you double-click, we are in effect control now, but don't worry. If we double-click, it goes immediately to the song. Remember we did it with the videos, it also happens with the audio. If you press the audio, the song starts. It's pretty cool. I like it. It's like a funny song. Here, in the source panel, also you can do exactly the same. You can say, you know what? I want just to put an in point and out point. You can actually drag these. Remember, we can drag it like this and you can say, I want to start exactly when the song starts. Let's see, there for example. But in this case, because I want to try to use the whole zone, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to pull it and drag it to the timeline. Here you don't have video, of course, it's just music, so you can drag it from here or you can drag it from here, or you can also drag it from the project panel. There you go. We have the song already there. The song is very long. The video that we did is going to be just 56 seconds and the song is basically double the size, but I'll show you how to fix that problem. There is something I forgot and I see that I made a mistake here. I erase all the audios, but here Xenia is going to say hello. She's coming towards us and she says hello and she talks. I want to put these audio here also. What I'm going to do is we go to video, look how am I going to recover this thing. This is the video. I recognize it because she's walking. Actually, when you are looking at the videos here in the project panel, you can put the mouse on the top of the video and you can move it here. Look, you can actually check the video from here also. It's pretty cool, isn't it? What I'm going to do is double-click and we have exactly the selection that we did. This is also good when you do the selections here in the source panel. It's also good because of that, you can recover what you missed. What I'm going to do is I'm going to erase this one and I'm going to pull this one here. This is the one with the audio. It's exactly the same size because it's the selection we did. She's going to say hello there. There you go, we have it. Now, we're putting music here, so what we're going to do, the music, it's actually a preference of the editor, but most of the editors in the world are going to tell you this. They tried to look for minus six decibels. You're not going to check the music from the lower volume. Let's go to the middle where it's already stronger and let's put play, and let's see the decibels here. It's super red, it's over. We don't want that. What we're going to do is go to the song, right-click and then again, all of these options, and then we're going to go to Audio Gain. Here in the gain, we're going to go down, how many decibels? I saw that it was coming all the way to zero, so let's put minus five, for example. Now let's play it again. You see it's in minus six, that's the top. Well it goes a little bit higher for one note, but it's okay. It's not a big deal. It's okay. That's what I want. Now that we have the music good, now let's see how we want the music. We're going to use also audio effects. Let's close this video auto panel. I told you I like organization, so let's close this also. We have the music already here, we don't have any other song, so we can close this panel to be more organized. Besides music, we have here. some audio effects. We have here the wind blowing and birds chirping. Let's choose this. Wow, this is super long. We're not going to use that much. What I'm going to do, and I'm going to show you, I'm going to put this down. Did you see what I just did? I'm going to open this to show you. Don't worry, I'm just pulling. You can see here the image, I'm just pulling it up. You have here audio 2 and audio 3. Audio 2 is empty, so let's put this in audio 2. In audio 1, it's the video audio. We don't need, actually, the audio of the last video. Remember how to erase it? If we click it selects everything. You press ''Alt'', you click here and erase. Now, this is the audio we want, this is the audio that we just put with the music. We are using yellow here, the effects. Why is yellow? Because we changed something from the footage. Remember, we reduce the decibels in the music, so that's why it's in yellow. If we're going to go here to the image of that she's smelling the flowers, I'm going to show you this. Here that she's a smelling the flowers, we put the warped stabilizer, it's an effect. Look at the color of the effects. It's a pinkish color. Why? Because we have an effect active here. The rest of them are going to be gray, there's no effects here. Here in the last footage is the GoPro. It is in yellow. Why? Because there is an effect here. Remember that we put the effect of making bigger the image because the image was a little bit shorter. This is actually a sign when you see different colors. Here in the music it's yellow because we put the volume down. Let's go now to the birds chirping, like it says. Now let's make it bigger so we can hear the birds chirping. I don't want to hear the song, I don't want to hear the sound of the video, I just want to hear what is it with the birds chirping. What we're going to do is we're going to put the S. The S here means it's solo. This is the only audio that is going to work. The M is mute. Actually if I play all the audios and then mute, mute, mute, all of them are muted and then I can unmute whoever I want. But in this case, what I want is just to listen to the birds chirping to see how I'm going to use this sound. Let's put solo, so we're just going to listen to this. I like it. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to leave this sound until where the arrow is. Let me see the size of this. Wow, it's super big. You know what? I'm going to leave this sound the whole video. Let's put C and we cut it here. You see when I'm playing with the C, that is to cut, and I'm coming here and I am getting close to the edges, you see these white arrow is telling me that I am exactly in the line. This is so helpful because I want to cut exactly at the end of the video, so I'm going to cut here, and then I press the V and I erase this. The song, I'm not going to cut it yet because I want to do it in a different way and you'll understand when I show you. What we're going to do is, let's come here at the beginning, let's mute this, and let's listen to the audio of the birds chirping and the dogs. I like it. But you know what, I want the song to start here. So now, what I'm going to do is exactly when they change the footage, let me see, there, when the song wants to start. You see exactly when it changes. This is also a suggestion that I'm going to give you that everybody is doing when we are editing. What you have to do is to put the footages with the beat of the song. Every beat of the song is going to tell you, you know what, here, you can change the footage. Of course, you can make exceptions and that's the creativity that you are going to have or I'm going to have. We can do that, but most often, try to do it in the beats so it's going to be more comfortable for the ears and the eyes of the people that are watching your videos. Now, let's listen to the sound by itself. Let's make this bigger. I'm putting the S, so we're going to listen to the song by itself and I'm going to stop where I think the song is starting, and I want that part to appear exactly where I want. Let's listen. There you go. It starts like a guitar, there. Exactly there, I wanted to do the change, but there is an emptiness here, there's no sound here. So what I'm going to do is to take this part off and exactly there, the song starts. Here is like a guitar trying to start to play and then here is where the song starts. What I want is this part to match with the change of the footage. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put this here, a little bit more. Let's make it bigger so we can see exactly where I want it. You see, I want it there so let's move it a little bit. I think it's going to be okay there. Let's see. You see that I'm leaving this part without music. It doesn't matter. It gives actually a very nice touch. Look at this. It is solo, sorry. Let's listen to everything. Great, I like it. What I don't like is that the birds are chirping really strong. So let's take out the audio. Remember, you go to the birds, right-click audio gain, you go here, and let's take like four decibels. Let's see. There you go. I like it. But the sound of the wind and the birds is a little distracting after. I'm going to solo it. It's still there, but I think we can leave it. Maybe we can add a little bit more volume of gain to the music. We took out like five decibels from the music, so let's give two decibels up. The music is up again. It's like this, you're going to go back and forth, back and forth, it's like this. There you go. So what we're going to do now to finish is this. We start with the music there. There you go. There's another beat there. You hear it? I'm going to solo the music again so you'll understand what I'm doing and listen to the beats. There is a beat there, there is another beat there, and I'm stopping exactly there where there is another beat. Because I want the image to change exactly in the beats, let's make this bigger so we can see what I'm talking about. Did you see this? I want the image to change in the beat, so let's press B. Remember, B, the ripple tool, and then we're going all the way here and boom, now we're changing in the beat. Let's now see what I meant. You see, it changes here. There you go. There's another beat there. I'm going to go here and I'm going to make it bigger, and I'm going to use the ripple tool again, remember B, and then we go here. There you go. There's another beat there. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to cut all the images with the ripple tool, I'm going to ripple all the images on the beats and then I'll show you the last part of this audio that we're going to do. Oki doke, we did it. We cut the music, we cut the footage as exactly on the beats of the song so it's now getting really nice. There's a mistake there. There is the cut. You see, sometimes, you commit mistakes, and actually, you can see the waves that are there. So let's do the cut and that's it. Now we are okay. There you go. Oki doke, so we're done. Now, of course, we are not completely done. As you can see, the song is longer, the audio on the bottom, because we shorten the videos, as you can see, the audio now, the birds chirping is like around here, so we have to cut more. This is something you have to do while you're editing little by little, but the song, the music, we're going to cut it later in a future lesson. Why? Because our plan is also to show you all the key frames and how to do the key frames, how are you going to do the key frames here where Xenia is walking towards me and saying hello, I want to put the balloon down of the music so you can hear the hello and then the music comes up again but softly to make it very nice, very pro. We need to add transitions. There's so many things we need to do to this video before we finish it. So don't worry, I'll show you how to put music. I show you how to put the sound effects, that is the birds chirping to reduce and play with the decibels, and now let's go to the next lesson because there's something we're missing in our video. Our video is not going to finish with this footage, it's going to finish with a picture. How to add pictures in the video and how to give them a little bit of animation like movement to the pictures, and that is in the next lesson.
8. Adding Photos: Okay guys, we're back. I'm going to show you how to add a picture or a photo. We are very organized. We have video, music, pics, and everything here. Very organized in bins. What we're going to do, is going to this folder that we created called pics. We just drag it into the timeline. Remember also that you double-click, you are going to have it here in the source panel. Because it's just a picture, there's no movement, I'm just going to drag it into the timeline. Now I'm going to show you something. You remember that we have the snap in timeline here, this tool is on, it's active. So if I just drag it next to each other, they're going to snap. You see that? They snap. But I'm going to show you another way. Imagine if you have the picture very far and some pictures are very far away from each other. You don't need to do all of this. You just go here in the middle, you click in the emptiness, it's going to be selected, and then you delete the emptiness and they get close. This is really cool and it's going to save you time also if you have few pictures around. So now I'm going to show you how it looks. Nice picture. What I want to do also is to listen to the music. I'm going to short this video up. I want to shorten it up by the beats. Remember, you cut in every beat to make the video better for the viewer Then we're going to see how much time we really want this picture. We want it the whole time, it's like 5-6 seconds. There's no movement. Sometimes pictures are boring when they're a long time, just static. We're going to come here and let's cut the former video, the video that is before the picture. There. You hear the beat? There I'm going to cut. Remember you just press B and you have here, as you can see, selected the ripple edit tool. So we're going to go here and boom, the picture is going to stick to it. Now, I'm going to show you something. Let's go to V. That is the arrow here, the selection tool, V, and you select the picture. We're going to right-click in the picture, but you know what? We are very zoomed out. So you see that the picture icon is very small. You see here it says fx, fx here it's in the gray. It means there's no effect in the picture. Even if I want to right-click in the picture, I cannot go around the effects because it's very small. Look what happened. If I right-click, it goes to the effects, motion, opacity. I don't want that. I want to go into here in the emptiness. So what I do is just zoom in. There you go, we're zooming in. Now you have more empty space here where you can right-click. We want to right-click here in the pink space. Now you have all the options. Remember, all the time that you right-click in a video or in a file, or in a picture, or in an audio, you're going to have all of these effects. Right-click and we're going to go to speed and duration. We already used this effect. Remember, it makes the footage to go faster or in a slow motion, but because we were using the speed. But now as you can see next to it, says duration. So we can actually also, when you click it, remember we just changed the speed here and the video is going to go faster or slower. But because it's not a video, you cannot see the speed, you cannot use it. You cannot put the picture faster or slower, but you can reduce the time, the duration. It says that this picture is lasting four seconds and, almost five seconds. This is something I wanted to explain to you. When you go to duration and you see this, 23 doesn't mean 23 milliseconds. No, it's not like this. It's four seconds and 23 frames. So every 24 frames is a second. This is because our sequence is 24 frames per second, because I decided it like this and because our footages are 24 frames per second, if you make it more, this is going to change. So I'm going to show you something if I go to 24 frames, for 24, look what happened. It goes to five seconds. So it means this number is seconds, minutes and hours. Hours, minutes and seconds. But these zero-zero here, the last ones, the ones in the left side, are going to be the frames. I'm going to show you again. Let's go to six seconds. So it's five seconds in one frame, five seconds in two frames, three frames. Then let's keep going. Five seconds in 20 frames, 21, 22, 23, and then when you go to 24, it goes to six seconds. So don't commit this mistake. Many people are committing this mistake thinking that these are milliseconds, they are not. But we don't want six seconds, six seconds is a lot. I was thinking to use like three seconds of the picture and then make a fade out at the end of the video. So let's put here three seconds and then, okay. We got our picture, we got the time three seconds, that's what we want. But look at this, it's boring. I don't like it. It's just there. I want to use the picture as the end of our video. We're going to have a lesson soon where we're going to talk about transitions and fade out and how to finish the video, start the video, and also give animation to their picture, animation to the videos, animation to anything you want, text or anything. This is what we're going to do in the next lesson. Let's give some animation to our picture.
9. Animation KEYFRAMES and RENDERING: We're back and this is going to be a fun lesson. We're going to give animation to this picture, we're going to talk about the effect control, we're going to talk about key frames, rendering. This lesson is going to be really awesome. So we select the picture. You remember, every time you want to do something with the effect controls, you have to select the file. Sometimes you're going to be like this and you, "You know what, I'm here, I'm here." You can see the line here, you can see the picture, but there's nothing here. It's because you forgot to select it. This is very important. Now that we select the file, we can see few things here in the effects control. We didn't add any effects to the picture. Before when we were adding effects to this video, remember, that we were trying to add like slow motion and then the Warp stabilization, so the video is going to be stabilized these effects when you added here. Look at this, and this is a mistake in purpose. We don't find anything, but what happened? We added a Warp stabilization here. What happened, where is it. We have the picture selected, we have to select the video and then we're going to have the effects of that video. All the videos, all the pictures are going to have these effects. The motion, rotation, opacity. This is something that always, by default, they're going to have. But this one has the Warp stabilizer. Remember that we had these effects to this video. Now let's go back to the picture, select it. Position. What does it mean position? Position means that we can actually move the picture. Look at this, I'm moving the picture to the right, moving the picture to the left. Now the picture is, for example, 100 percent. The real picture is bigger. So when I select 100 percent, if you select your scale, the picture is actually this size. You see, it's going out. It's actually bigger than our frame. So that's why when I'm moving the picture, it's super cool, the picture is sustained in the frame. But if the picture would be the same size, then we'll watch a black spot over here. Let's do something. Let's go down in size. You see, there is a black spot here. Now let's make the picture to fit. There you go, it fitting. There is something else here, it's because this is in 1969, it's supposed to be in 1920. There you go, now it's center. Let's go a little bit more, there you go. Now, as you can see here, the picture is fitting perfectly. Now I'm going to show you again here. If you move the picture, look at this. You can see the black spot over there. But well, the point is that you can move the picture, this is the position. If you use the 1080, this is actually the vertical, so you can move it up and you can move it down. You always have these bottom here that is going to help you to reset the parameters. So we go back to the beginning, we can go back here that says 84 percent, we can go again to the 100 percent. But what we want to do is to take advantage of the picture is bigger. When you make it bigger, it doesn't lose resolution. So let's go again to, I think it was 84 percent when it's fitting in the screen, let's see 83. No, 83 you can see the black frame already. No, let's go to 84. Let's leave it in 84. I'm going to show you now everything in effect controls and then I'm going to show you where are the key frames. We know now the scale, that is the size of the picture, you can make it bigger or smaller, and this is not just for the pictures by the way. You can make the same with videos. If the video you want to make it smaller, you want to make it bigger. It's up to you. When you record videos in 4K, you can make it bigger without losing resolution, so that's pretty cool. Let's go back to the picture. Now we have also the rotation. This Uniform Scale, click here. So every time you scale it up or down, the picture is just going to be bigger and smaller. You see? But if you take out the Uniform Scale, then when you make it bigger, it's going to stretch the picture. Look at the width, for example, you are stretching the picture. You don't want to do that. So let's reset. Remember that these buttons are for resetting. Let's click here, so always stays in the Uniform Scale, we don't want to damage the picture. Then we have the rotation here where you can rotate the picture. You see, it's pretty cool. Let me reset. Well, it was in zero already. Anchor Point. You can go to this side, you can go to the other side. But why is this Anchor Point. Let's reset and I'm going to show you. When you click here, "Anchor Point" you can see the frame and you can see this in the middle. This is the Anchor Point. So if I rotate the picture, the picture is going to rotate based in this Anchor Point. If I'm going to make it bigger or shorter, everything is based in the Anchor Point, and the Anchor Point is in the middle. Imagine if I move the Anchor Point somewhere else, now I can move it. Why? Because I selected the Anchor Point here. So let's move it like here, for example. There you go. Now, you'll see what happen when I rotate the picture. When I'm going to rotate the picture, the picture is going to rotate based in the Anchor Point. So this is going to be the Anchor Point, and look what happened when I make a rotation of the picture. Now is rotating based in that Anchor Point. You see? That's what the Anchor Point is doing. Now let's reset here and let's reset the Anchor Point, it's okay. Here you have also the Anti-flicker. In this case, it's a picture. But if you have a video and it's like flickering a little bit, you can put the Anti-flicker and it's going to help. You can go all the way, you can see I put number one for example. So as stronger Anti-flicker is, also the image is going to be a little softer. I'm telling you, I never use it, but you know that it's here. Now we have the opacity. The opacity of the picture is what is going to make it transparent or not transparent. You see, it's becoming dark. But the opacity, what it does is that the picture is getting a little transparent. Why is becoming dark? Because we have nothing in the bottom. So if we take it out, you'll see that it's black. It's this empty video. But what happens if we do this, let's go to 100 percent and let's put the picture on the top of this video, and let's click it here. You can see the picture. So I'm going to explain you before I go back to the opacity, I'm going to explain you something. Every time you put a picture or a video on the top of other, the one that is going to be visible is the one on the top. Always it's going to be the one on the top. In this case, it's the flower. What happen if I move the video over the flower. Now the video is the one that is visible because it's over the flower in all older picture. So always the visible footage is going to be the one on the top. In this case, it's the flower. Let's do something, let's click in the flower and let's change the opacity. Remember I was talking about the opacity, make the flower transparent. The Opacity 100 percent, it means that the flower is visible 100 percent. If you start to go lowering number, you cannot see it. Look, it's becoming transparent, it's less opacity, so you can see actually through. You can see until you getting zero and it's becoming 100 percent transparent, you can just see the video. So that's what opacity is. Now I want to show you that because the picture is over this one, when I show you what you can do also with the picture if you move it to the right. Let's change the position and let's move it to the left. Look what happened. Did you see? It's moving to the left, but because under the picture is the video, you can see the video, part of the video. So you can actually keep moving it, keep moving it, keep moving it, keep moving it and you'll see the video. You see that. I don't know if you saw some videos where they have like four screens here and you can see something here, something here, something here and something here, this is the way you can do it also. This is one of the ways you can do it. Just moving and moving the frames. So now let's go back how it's supposed to be, and now let's go back to where it was. There you go. This is the end of the video, so we're going to leave it here. We go a little bit lower, we have the opacity, you have the Blend Mode in opacity. Have different ways that you can use these Blend Modes. What is the Blend Mode? I don't know why I put the video back because actually we have to put it back again here, so I can show you that. Imagine if we going of opacity like 50 percent. These are effects that you can do and they're pretty cool. You have to experiment, you have to use Premier Pro and start to use a lot of footages, experiment and you'll find things that they are like crazy, that you're going to love them and you're going to use these effects a lot. 50 percent, no, I don't like it. Let's go to 80 percent or 75 percent. That way you can see the flower, but it's like a little transparent and you can also see part of the video in the back that is trying to appear. Let's go to Blend Mode. It's in normal now, let's go to Dissolve, for example. You can see that it's like noise around. You see, this is an effect. Can you see the noise over here? This is an effect. Instead of noise, let's go to Darken. Look, it's becoming darker. It's a nice effect actually, you can use them to create transitions and so on. Let's go to Lighten. Lighten is nice You see, they are giving priority to the lights. This is very nice when you are doing a transition with, for example, a dark image like for example, a night footage that you have and you have a lot of lights in the night. When you do this transition or when you want to make it like a opacity lower, and you put the light in, it looks very nice and it's giving priority to the light. You have to try these kind of things. You have to try all of them. You're going to find some. I don't use some of them, but I use another one, so it's up to you. It's something personal, it's personal preferences. When you're going to start to experiment all of these, you're going to use some of them, you're going to see, you know what? I like this, I like this, but I don't like this. It's personal. Let's go to the Normal so we can keep going down. You have the time remapping, it's in 100 percent. The thing here is that we need the key frames and we're going to talk about the key frames later, and we're going to do this speed also in another way, in a future lesson, but we're going to do it in another way and I'm going to show you how to use it here also, as well. Now, why we are here? We are here because we want to animate the picture and I talk too much, isn't it? There you go. We go back and now we're going to give animation to the picture. You have to understand this first before you do the animation. In opacity, it appears this thing because I was moving and all, I'm sorry for that. There we go. We're going to start using key frames now. We're going to use key frames. We saw that when you press the position, and you click here and change here, the image can move from one side to the other, remember? The scale, you can make the image bigger or smaller. In this case, we make the image smaller because it was bigger. Let's go back to 100 percent and I'm going to show you something I forgot. Remember that when you Right-click, you had these Scale to Frame Size and Set to Frame Size. Now, I'm going to show you what is going to happen. Hundred percent of this picture, it means that the picture is bigger than the frame, so we have some information of the picture here around. I'm going to check the scale so you remember. You see, we have some information of the picture here around the frame, this information's being lost. So what we're going to do is Right-click. I'm going to use a scale to frame size first so I'm going to show you. So immediately what Premiere Pro just did is, Premiere Pro make the picture smaller. It makes it smaller to fit in the frame, but look at this, it's still in 100 percent. So it's actually making it smaller, reducing the pixels to fit in the screen, so it's 100 percent. So what does it mean? That if I go to 200 percent, it's going to be bigger, but it's losing some quality because already the pixels that were here were erased to fit in the screen. So let's go back to 100 percent, we don't want that. So what we're going to do is we're going to go back to this 100 percent that it was, that real size of the picture. I just erase this scale to frame size with control set, so now we're back in the big picture. Now, we're going to Right-click here, and we're going to go instead of Scale to Frame Size, we're going to set to frame size. Again, it happened almost the same. Why I said almost? Because the picture is fitting now the screen. It's exactly like we wanted, but if you check here, it's 83.6 percent. So what Premiere Pro did is fit the image in here, but it didn't lose any resolution. It didn't take any pixel, it just make it smaller in how you see it. But look at these, it scale it to 83.6 percent. So if we go to 100 percent, it's going to go to the real size of the picture and it's not going to lose any quality. So that's why at the beginning of this course, I was mentioning about Scale to Frame Size and Set to Frame Size, and I was saying that if the picture is smaller, it doesn't matter if you choose scale to frame size or set to frame size because whatever Premiere is going to do is going to make it bigger, So it's smaller. But if the picture, or the footage, the video is bigger, you don't want to scale it because you don't want to lose resolution, you want to set to frame size. I remember the lesson when we were adding the videos and I added this GoPro video, and the GoPro video was smaller than the real size, and I put Scale to Frame Size, and then I put Set to Frame Size, that is 142 percent. It doesn't matter because this was shorter, but the picture, no, sir, we have to go to Set to Frame Size. So what we're going to do is set to frame size. It's 83.6 percent of the picture, but that's good because we can make it bigger, and we're going to start to animate the picture. What we want during these three seconds, remember that we put three seconds, during these three seconds, we want the picture to move a little bit, to scale up, maybe to the size that it's supposed to be. So what we're going to do is, you see scale here, you see here, every time you see the effects, in every effect, if you put the warp stabilizer for example here. Also, you are going to have these look like a clock here in the side, you're going to click it, and did you see? Here, there is a frame that appeared. It means that exactly in this position, that is so random because I didn't do it from the beginning. Let's make it bigger so we can see. I didn't do it from the beginning of the picture. I did it from all ready a little bit farther. There is a frame that says that this is the size we want. But what I want is to start with this size, and during the three seconds to be growing, and growing, and growing the picture. So what we do is, we just click in this frame, a key frame, and pull it to the beginning of the video. Now, let's go to the end of the picture that is black. There you go. That's the end of the picture. What we're going to do, is to make it bigger. How bigger do we want it? Maybe a 100 percent. Maybe even a little bigger than a 100 percent. There you go, 105 percent, there you go. So now when you click in the beginning of the picture, look what happened. We just gave animation to the picture. But there is something I don't like, that the picture is growing but it's not in the center. When it's growing, it's going towards one side. I want the picture while it's growing to get a little closer to the center. So how am I going to do that? We already have these key frames here marked that are going to make the picture bigger. So what we're going to do is let's go to the end there, and I'm going to see where I want the picture to be. You can see that we have all of these picture here that it's very big, so we have some space to play. What I want is to put this picture a little bit lower and a little bit to the left. So let's press the clock here. There you go. Now, the clock is marking that this is the place where the picture is. This is the frame. But I don't want the frame there, I want the frame a little bit lower, so we go here. You see I'm changing the position. I go a little bit farther. Let me see, there you go. I think there is okay. Because actually I want to show you how to do it, and still we're missing, I want it a little bit to the left, so let's go here and let's move it a little bit to the left. There you go, a little bit more, there you go. I want it there. So what we need is this key frame over here is marking the picture here. Now, let's go to the beginning of the footage of the picture. Look what happened when I go in the beginning, it's moved, remember? But what I want is picture to start in a normal position. Remember that the normal position was 1920. I remember the position, so you have to write it down to know, but normally all the time the position is going to be 1920 by 1080. That's like for all the footages you'll see is like this, that's why I know. So don't worry, you will understand what I'm doing. Then 1080, and there you go. So this frame is saying that it's going to start here, and then it's going to end, and the picture move down, and to the left. But remember, we also have these two key frames here in the bottom that are the scale. So now what we have here is the picture is going to be growing little by little. At the same time, it's going to be moving down, and moving to the left. So now let's see how it works. Do you see? It's moving, it's getting bigger, but it's so light that you don't realize properly, but the picture is really moving down and to the left. What I'm going to do is exaggerate so you notice it better. You can see the frame on the top, so you don't want that. There you go. Now, we're going to move it more to the left. You can see the black spot there. You don't want that. There you go. Let's make it like this, and let's see how it works. I think it's better. Let's see. Did you realize that the picture is going towards the end of the screen? Forget about the scaling up. Just look at the picture going towards the middle of the screen. It's moving. Now, we have a double effect here. Now, when the movement starts, it's a little rough. Look at this. It's like in a rush, it's rough, so what we're going to do? We're going to go to the key frames, select the key frame, and right-click to the key frame. You're going to have these temporal interpolation. You're going to go to Easy In and Easy Out. You're going to make the image softer. The effect is going to be softer. It's not going to be that harsh. What you do is, this is going to be here, the Easy Out. It's not Easy In, it's Easy Out, why? Because the effect is coming out of this frame towards the in of this frame. So here, we're going to put Easy In to make it easy. Take it easy. It's telling the effect, "Take it easy, don't be too harsh." That's what is happening. It's always out, and then in because it's coming out from here to go in in here. Let's do the same with the bottom one. Easy Out, and then Easy In. Now, you'll see that the effect is softer. It's pleasant to the eyes. It's much better. There you go. You just saw that. Now, that was the effect that I wanted to show you how to do it, the animation, how to do it. Still, for me, to finish the video, I did it like this. I did it very like exaggerating the movement and exaggerating the scaling, so you can understand and you can see it in the video, but I don't want it to go so fast. What we're going to do now is change these key frame, because now that you know how to do it, I'm going to edit the video. We want to edit and have a nice video by the end of the lesson. What we're going to do here is, instead of these exaggerated movement, we're going to go a little bit here. Maybe there, to 2180, and here, we're going to go up. Here, we're going to go a little up. I think there is better. I want to see if it's soft. Now, the growing, I don't want it to go that fast either, so what I'm going to do, I'm going to change this, instead of 105, let's make it, because it was 83.6, so let's go to 95. Let's see how it is now. It's not that harsh, it's nice. I like it. This is basically how you use the key frames and how you're going to do this. Now, if you want, for example, rotation, you want the picture to rotate, you have also the clock here. You see, you have a clocking anchor point. You have a clocking anti-flicker. For example, imagine if I click in the anchor point here, the clock, it means that the anchor point here, it moved. Remember, the picture is moving, so it moved. Now, we can do this. We go all the way here, and we can actually move the anchor point somewhere here, and then we go here, and then we can move the anchor point here. There you go. Let's see what happen. Did you see what happened? That was funny, but that was just an example. What you can do with the key frames, you put a key frame here. It means that from here to here, the image is going to move like this, [inaudible]. Then from here to here, the image is going to move like this. That was crazy. I wanted to show you how it works. Of course we're going to reset that. Also, something else you can do is you can take the anchor point, you can see the anchor point. You see this arrow, how it's changing? It means you can actually change the anchor point. You see, and making like a curve. I'm moving these, and you can change the way the anchor point is going to work. Now, let's see what happened. Did you see? That was funny. It's really interesting. You have to play with this to understand specifically how it works. Then you can start to use the key frames for so many things. Every single effect is going to use the key frame, so this is really cool. There you go. I don't want to finish the lesson without giving you another example of the key frames because I want you to have very clear what you can do with the key frames. I'm going to look for an effect here that I'm using a lot. At the beginning of every lesson, you can see the title of the lesson, and you see that there is like a picture that is a little blurry in the back, this effect is called "Blur". I'm going to look for "Blur", then we can go down here. I'm going to show you this. It says "Camera Blur". Let's do this effect. Let's go here and let's drag the effect to the flower and look at what is going to happen. Here in the "Effect Control", you have the "Camera Blur". Did you see that the picture now is all blurry? You could make it even more blurry. Jesus, look at this. It looks like a very nice camera and a very nice bouquet in the back. Let's go lower, all the way to zero, and then you can see the picture. What I want is the picture to start like this, and start to get blurry towards the end. How can you do that? You can make it blur now, but how to do the step-by-step, little by little to get blurry? You're going to use the key frames. This is zero, so we're going to use the key frames. Did you see here, percentage of blur? You have here the clock. Click in the clock. There you go. Key frame is done it's exactly zero. Let's pull the key frame to the beginning. It's going to start the picture like this. It's going to start not blurry, but what I want is the picture at the end, let's go to the end, to be in 25 percent of blur. Now, let's start in the beginning and let's see how it works. You see, it starts nice, and it starts to get blurry until it gets completely blurry. This is what the key frames are doing. Now, it's very rush. You see, it's very harsh. It changes very harsh. Again, remember, what you do is you go to "Easy Out", and you go to "Easy In". Every time you use key frames, I'm telling you, is 100 percent I do it. Every time, 100 percent I always do the Easy Out and Easy In because it's better. Sometimes, you don't see it, but it's better for the viewer. So now, let's see. You see, it's more subtle. It's nicer. This is the effect of the blur. I wanted to give you a few examples, so you can see how the effect works. If you can go up, this still here is still growing, and still working and everything. This is what these key frames are doing. Now, what I want to show you to finish this lesson is this. You can see again, we put this effect here, and we did this key frames here, and key frames there and everything, and now, it's becoming red again, this line. Oh, my gosh, it's read. It means that it's not going to work properly and everything when you want to export the video. Now, we just have this one, but imagine, if we have a lot of red spots here because we did so many things here and it's not working properly, the playback is very slow, we already reduce the resolution here, but still, it's not playing properly, it's playing slow, what to do? What to do when this is happening? You can select everything, or Ctrl-A, and it's going to select everything. If you are using a Mac, you put Command-A. Then with Command-A, what you do is you go here to "Sequence" and you put "Render Selection". See, its written here, "Render Selection". What Premiere Pro is going to do, it's going to understand all the frames and every single footage and video and audio that you have here, everything, and is going to render it. What Premiere Pro is doing is exporting this part of the video, or this video to their memory so they can play it back better. Now, you can see that it's going to play, but I'm going to mute because I don't want the sounds to go. Now, it's playing it very smoothly. It's playing it better. If you can hear also, it's going to play it better. Even the blurriness that we did, everything is going to play better. For you to understand what is Rendering, Premiere Pro is exporting this part of the video inside Premiere Pro, inside their software, so it's going to understand better the software, it's going to play it back smoother. That's what is called Rendering. I'll do it often when I have a lot of footages that are red and is not going to play back better. Before I Export, I also Render. It's up to you; practice and practice, like I always say, and I was saying since the beginning of the video of the course. Practice and practice and you'll understand all the details and why to use this and why to use that. Practice is going to make you a boss, a champ. Let's go to the next lesson.
10. Transitions: In this lesson, we're going to talk about transitions, how to go from one video to the other video. Transitions are always going to be used in between the videos, at the beginning of the whole editing and at the end of the whole editing. We're going to do an example here. I'm going to do an example in a couple of spaces so you understand what is it. She's walking, I didn't like this, for example, it's too rough. Boom it's too rough. Let's see the second one. That's better. I like this one when she's walking, and then boom, that's better. But this one is too rough. What I'm going to do is to add a transition here in the middle. You see the mouse, look at the white arrow. As soon as I put it in between the videos, it becomes a red arrow. In this moment it's facing the right or it's facing the left, it doesn't matter. When the red arrow appears it means you are in the middle. You're going to do this. Like I'm saying since the beginning, there's always many ways to do everything in Premier Pro, I'm going to show you different ways. First way here, right-click. All of these are in gray, means that you cannot use them. This is in the middle of the video, it's impossible to use. But this one that is in black, apply default transitions, you just click it, and there you go. You just got a transition. The transitions are in both. It goes directly to the audio and to the video. If you don't want the transition in the audio, don't worry, you just click in the transition and delete. Now look what is going to happen. Did you see? That transition is a cross dissolve and this is, I think, the most used transition from all the editors. The thing is this, it doesn't mean that the opacity is changing from this to the other. That's not what is happening here. What is happening here is the transition is grabbing information from this video that is not visible. Because remember, I'm going to erase the transition and I'm going to show you something. Remember that we still have some information here. You see? If I go back here and I pulled this up, we still have some information here. This is what the transition is going to do. Pull some information from here and pull some information from here to create the transition. Now I'm going to add the transition again. I'm going to show you something else. Let's zoom in. This is the cross dissolve as you can see. If you go to the edge of the transition, it becomes like this. You see? That means that you can actually shorten the transition or you can actually make it bigger. What I want is to make it a little shorter. There you go. Now we can see again. I like it, it's better. Now, I want to show you this here. Let's go here. As you can see, there is a little corner here that is white, I'm going to put it apart. Did you see here that is white? Remember what I told you before, what does it mean? It means that there's no more information here. I didn't cut anything here. You see, I cannot go further. I cannot pull the video because there's no information here. The transition here is going to pull information from both sides. But what happens if I want to use a transition here where just one side has extra information, this side with the white corner doesn't have extra information? Let's see what happened. Apply the transition, it goes just to one side. Remember, you want to erase this, just select it and delete. It's not covering both sides because it doesn't have information to pull from both sides. It's still going to be nice, but it's not going to be maybe as you want it, but maybe you'll like I like this. Let's see what happened. Let's see how it looks. That's the problem. What the transition is doing is pulling information from this video. But it's not using any from this because there was no extra information, and I don't like it because I told Ksenija to stay there and then I told her action and she started to walk. But if I go here, you'll see that here she's waiting for me to tell her action. Look it's few milliseconds, but you can see that she's waiting, and then she start to walk. I don't want that to be visible. What I do, because it's just a short amount of time, I can actually make the transitions shorter. Let's see what happened. It's better. It's not rough, but I can even make it a little bit bigger. Well, now for example, this is a no, thanks God I commit mistakes because I can show you the mistakes. Now here you cannot see the arrow, and you cannot see anything to pull the transition, it's because it's zoomed out. You zoom in, let's put it here, you zoom in a little bit more. It's too short. Now we put it here now we can. Let's make it a little bigger, don't go too short in the transition. Let's go here, let's see how it is. There you go. Let me see, let's go frame by frame and you can see that she's there and then she start to walk. There she start to walk, so I'm going to have to make it shorter because I don't want people to see in the transition that she was waiting for me to tell her to walk. There you go. There. Now it's going to be very fast transition, but it's going to help this cut that is very rough. Then we come to the second transition. That's perfect. Then the third one doesn't need because I like it. I like the cut there, I like it. I like also this cut so we stay. Why I like the cut because I know how it is. I know that the music is going with the beats, so the cut is also going with the beats, so that's really nice. Now I'm going to show you another transitions here that you can use, because the transition that I'm showing you is the cross dissolve and this is like the default transition. I'm going to show you how to change the default transition. Maybe you want to use another one often, not the cross dissolve, so you can change it. Here in the effect control, remember that you can find it here, but I just pull it here to have it because that's the way I like to work better. If you don't find it, remember always you go to Window, and you look for effects, is here. Presets, Lumetri presets, and all of these, you have here audio transitions and you have video transitions. Let's go to the video transitions. Of course, if you go to dissolve, you're going to have all of these dissolve transitions, and cross dissolve, you see that this is a blue square here. It means that this is the default. That's what it means, that's why it's blue here. But we're using these ones already, so let's go to the 3D, for example, 3D motion. You have the flip over, you have the cube spin, let's use the flip over. Let's see what happened. Let's go here. There you go. We can use it there. Let's see, flip over. We're going to put it always in the middle. What I'm doing is, I'm dragging the transition to the middle, in between the files. You can see it became red already. So it means it's making premiered brought to work hard. So when you finish all the transitions, all the editing, the blurry. If you want to put the blurring the picture like we did in the last lesson, if you want to add red stabilizer in some of the food touches and everything, these yellow line is going to be full of red spots over there. So what are you going to do? Remember what I showed you last lesson? You render. You select everything with Ctrl+A, or you select the space that you want to render, is not necessary to render everything. Maybe just in the first part is that you have this red spot. You select that part, and then you render. Here in sequence, render selection. Also you can come here, for example, you can put I and you go here, you can put O, and this is in and out, and you can come to sequence and render the in to out, and that's it. So let's erase these in and out. We're here. We just add these effects. That is the flip over. Let's see how it is. You can see that he's not playing perfectly because he's in red, it's a little hard that transmission, but you've got the idea. Is the flip over. There you go. That's pretty cool. Let's erase the transition because I don't like it. But also, what happened if you like it? If you like the flip over and you want the flip over to be the default transition, what you do is, you right-click, set selected as default transition. You see? You just click here and he's going to select this one as the default transition. As default transition. Now, what is another way to add a transition in between here? Let's see. Remember, we were using the cross dissolve. You right- click and you put here, "Apply default transitions". Another way is, you go here. I just go in the middle and click. When you go in between the videos and click, look what happened? There is a red line there. Is because that middle in between is selected. That is to put a transition and you're going to put Ctrl+D. What it means is going to add the default transition, Ctrl+D, If you are in a PC. Of course, if you are in a Mac computer, you're going to put Cmd+D, but let's see Ctrl+D. Immediately the transition is here. I'm going to show you something else. Let's make it bigger. Let's go here. It's fun, I'm having fun. The transitions are fun. Let's see how this cross dissolve works. There you go. What happened if I want the cross dissolve to be more towards the dog? Towards these part, then this part? You can press a transition and you press it and drag it. Look what is happening. I can drag that transition. Did you see? On the top in the video, you can see what is going to appear more. You can see the dog. You can see there is going to appear on the other side like this. So if you go all the way here, now the transition change is more towards the dog that transition. Normally you want it in the middle, but you can decide whatever you want, how you want to do it. Like before we saw that Xenia was about to walk and then she was about to start to walk and we didn't want that. It doesn't matter. There you go. So the transition stays there. Good. Now, something else I wanted to say is that there are some transitions that you can purchase. You can go online and look for transitions. They are companies that are making transitions. Like I remember I bought this bag for like, $20, $30 and you buy like 400 different transitions that are really professional, really cool. If you want, you can go for it, you can look for it, and everything and purchase it. That could make your videos more professional. So it's up to you if you want to buy them. I know many people, professional editors, they're amazing and they never bought. They use their own transitions or they create their own transitions but that's for an advanced class. That's more advanced of course. Now, I'm going to show you something else to finish this lesson. We do have an option also to put transition in the audios. Let's see, for example here. Let's see. Let's take this, let's go to audio transitions. You see here, audio transitions. By default, it comes the cross fate. You go here, you have the constant gain exponential fate and the constant power. This is by default, and this is the one I use because it's the best for the audio is the one that comes with Premiere Pro. So you can listen to the audio. But you see it's a little harsh the change. Is a dog barking and then immediately, boom, is cut the bark and you go straight to the ambient sound. Well, we want to do there is maybe make a transition there with the audio. So let's just drag it or you know that if you don't want to drag it, you can actually put also at the same time like contrarily, you can right-click all the ways you have. It's too long. I'm going to make it shorter and remember that it's like this because there's no information in this side of the video. So let's see what happened. Did you see? It vanishes, but it mix the sound of the dog with the ambient sound and then it makes it much better. It makes it softer. I like it. So that's what we're going to use. Now let's finish with the video to see which other transitions we can add. There you go. I like that cat. It doesn't matter. It's not harsh. It's okay. That one. I like it. Until now, I'm like in all of the transitions and all of the cats, I don't need to add more transitions. Great. But what happened there? This is the end of the video, and I don't want the end of the video to end like this, boom, just like very harsh. So what I'm going to do is, I'm going to add the transition here. The default transition is the cross dissolve for the video transitions. Forget about the audio now. Video transmission is the cross is solved. But when you are in the end of the editing, there is no other footages is here. Is not going to be cross dissolve, is going to be fade out. So I'm going to show you what this is. I'm going to make it a little bigger so it's easier. There you go. Right-click and then apply default transitions, and it's going to be a fade out. Look how it goes. There you go and it's nice. I like it. I even liked the timing, so perfect. I'm going to leave it like this. Also here at the beginning, it starts just like that. So I can actually start with the fade in, is the same thing. If you pull, did you see the red? You are the default transition. Let's see if it's good, the timing. The good thing is that at the beginning also when the video is starting, you cannot hear the dog barking. So in a rush, it's going to be like the volume, the gain is going to be coming up very slow, very subtle, is going to be nice. Let's see. I like it. Maybe I'm going to make it a little shorter, and also here a little shorter because I want to add some text in the beginning. That's why make it blurry here. So because of that and then maybe to take the text out there and that's it. I think we have all the transitions done, and I think it's time to go to the next lesson where we're going to fix all of these. Did you see the audio? Goes all the way to the other side and the ambient audio here of the birds and this things is also like just got it there. We're going to make it nice, and fix all of these. We're going to finish the editing. The video is starting to become very nice. So let's go to the next lesson and let's make the audio.
11. Fixing our Audio: We're back and we're going to fix the audio, what happened with the audio. We have here an audio where Xenia is going to say, "Hello," and I want you to be able to listen to the hello. I want my viewers to watch the video and especially here, they're going to listen to her voice. But the audio of the music is too high, so it's not going to be possible. We're going to make it possible. Now, here at the end, how can the video finish like this? Horrible. Because I'm supposed to cut the audio there. It cannot finish like that. Also if you check here, let's mute this and mute this, the ambient, listen, it's too harsh. It just stops the audio and that's it. We're going to fix that. Let's use our creativity. My creativity says, I don't want the audio to finish here with the flower, I want the audio to finish when the flower is starting, and leave the ambient sound towards the flower. There's different ways, you can have another taste and maybe you don't like it, maybe you like it, that's a personal thing, that's up to you. Let's solo the ambient, and let's scale it up here, I want to see if the ambient is matching. Look, the ambient is not matching the flower. Remember we have a lot of information. At the beginning of the course when we put the ambient sound, my God, it was going like triple the size of the editing. So we're going to leave it there, it's exactly there. What I want to do, because it's very harsh, as you can see, it's just, buck, it's buck, I don't want that to finish too harsh. What I'm going to do is add the default transition for the audio, and default transition right click, add default transition, that's it. What it's going to do, constant power, it says, is the same thing as the cross dissolve when you put it at the end of the video. Cross dissolve when you put it at the end of the video, goes like this, goes dark, so what happens with the audio when it's at the end of the video, the gain is starting to go to zero, like until zero. Let's see how it sounds. Did you see, did you hear actually? So it doesn't go like, no, it goes and the volume starts to go down, down. So it's very nice. Let's hear again. Nice. We fix this part of the audio. Now, before we fix this part, let's make this bigger and let's go to the, hello, where Xenia is saying hello to everybody. Let's take the solo here, we don't want it, we want the solo in the hello now. Remember that this S here in the audio, when you press the S means solo, we're going to be able to listen just to this track, we're not going to listen to audio 2 or audio 3, just to the track audio 1, and let's listen. We don't need that audio to be very strong, but this part, yes. Hello. That hello. I want the hello to be possible to be listened, so let's make it a little bigger and let's check where the hello is. Hello. There you go. Did you see here the wave? It's a little curvy. This is where she says hello, so exactly this, is where she's saying hello. Now, if we put all together, let's take out the solo, and let's listen to all, altogether, all the sounds that we have here, can we listen to the hello? Hello. Very, very difficult to listen. It's a lot of noises, a lot of music, and then there's the ambient sound, and altogether, you cannot listen to the hello. You know that here, you have the hello, here, this bump here, so what are we going to do? Again, Premier Pro, the best, we have so many ways to do it. We're going to go here, you see this, when you put here, when you go here, and you go in between here, in between the lines, you see these two arrows, it means you can make that track bigger, we make it bigger, there you go. Now, this track is bigger, do you see the line here, that's the volume. Remember I told you I was going to show you how to use the pen tool, this is the time, I don't use it much like this, but this is one of the ways, and I'm going to show you the way, how to do it. You click on the pen, you have the pen, you see the pen here, and we're going to make dots here. Let's make one here, let's make one here, like drawing something. Why am I making the dots here, because the sound is around here, remember the bumps, the hello, so I'm going to finish the bump here, so maybe the other is going to be here, and the other one is going to be around here. Now, we want to say goodbye to the pen and we're going to press "V" to come back to the selection tool, there you go. Now, look what happened, when we come here, did you see this black arrow pointing up, and then there is two little arrows next to it, it means we can play with the gain there, with the volume, so we can do like this, look, the volume is down, the volume is up. What we want is to put the volume down, not up, let's make it like 16.8 decibels down, let's make it there. That's why I put these extra key frames here. Remember, we were talking about key frames already, so if you see here in the effect control because this track is selected, this audio is selected, look at the effect control, volume, bypass, level of volume, and look at this, we just created key frames and you didn't realize. Super nice. We created the key frames, they're here, but we did it here, with the pen tool. This is one of the ways, don't worry, I'm going to show you the other way. So let's listen how it is. If I wouldn't put these two extra key frames, and I put just these two, it's going to be like a triangle down and its very harsh and we don't want that. We put this so it's going to be softer when you put the volume down. Let's listen. Hello Did you see what happened? The volume goes down when she's saying hello and then it's going up again, that was pretty cool, isn't it? Now, let's erase this, Control Z, Control Z, Control Z, Control Z, Control Z, or Command Z, if you are in a Mac. Now, what happened, we don't have the pen tool, we don't want to use it, what happened here. Let's go here, because here is where she starts, let's make it bigger because in this way it's going to be better. Now, what we're going to do is the second way. In this second way, you can be more precise, because here you saw that I was pulling the volume down, pulling the volume up. If you want to pull the volume down to six decibels, it's tough, it's a little tough. But here is going to be more precise, but still it was working nice, when I tried to do it. Let's go around here, and you see here is also the arrow moving, look here, when I move the arrow here, it moves there. I'm going to go here, and I'm going to press the key frames there, there you go, that's the zero position, it's the flat position. Let's go there. Hello When she starts to say hello, it's here, a little bit, there. We're going to put minus 15, before it was in minus 16 point something. You see I put 15 here, that's what I was telling you when you are pulling in here, pushing here, up or down, you cannot go exactly 15, you can, but it's tough because you have to be very precise, here you just stop 15, and that's, it's there. Now, let's say hello and it's finished and let's put another 15. Hello. There you go. A little bit low, a little bit there. Let's put here again 15, let's make a little space. There you go, and let's put zero. Let's make it softer, it's like a curve, let's see. Hello. There you go, I like it. Now, I'm going to show you what I want to do here. We're going to finish the video exactly here. Let's see. There is the finish of the video. I'm going to put C to cut, and I'm going to cut the video there. V selection tool, you see, and then I'm going to select this part and delete. Now, the video is going to finish, very tough, very rough, exactly what it was finishing with the ambient sound, let's see. Horrible. But if we put the cross dissolve again, this case, because this audio is constant power, the transition is going to finish like this. It's nice, but still, I would like to make it a little longer. Let's see. Even a little longer. Nice, it's better. Now, remember when I told you that I would like to do something different, that I would like to leave the ambient sounds and everything, this is what I want to do. I want the audio to finish here with the GoPro, maybe a little bit more with the flower, and then just the ambient sound, let's see how it works. I like it. That's what I was telling you. It's creativity. You can create whatever you want. When you edit, you are an artist, you are the creator, that's what they sell creators in YouTube, the people who are editing and making videos. You are the one, who have the power to do whatever you want and make it beautiful. I like the song to finish, not exactly there, a little bit more when the flowers are starting to appear and the flower is starting to grow, because remember we make this effect. Then just the ambient sound, the ambient of the birds, and the park, let's make it zoom in and that's it. We can see that we add already transitions here in the audio, the audio starts very good here. This is nice because the video starts also without music, it starts with the ambient, and it finishes with the ambient. You see. I'm going to try to do something crazy to finish with this lesson. Let's go to this first part, let's look for the dogs. Remember to select just the audio, because these are linked, every time you select this it's going to select both. Let's go in the emptiness, let's select just the audio, pressing out, you select the audio. Let's press Control C, because Control C, I think is in Word, Excel, all the softwares, all the programs that exist in the world, Control C is copy. You go here and you put control V, that is paste. We're going to come here, there you go, maybe a little bit more here, let's make it bigger, you can see what I did, let's put it there, there you go. This, you can add it like this, the constant power, and let's add the constant power there also, why? Because this audio doesn't belong to the ambient, we're just creating something, let's see how it works, because this is the dog, remember. What if we put next to the ambient, also the dog, let's see how it sounds. Pretty cool, I like it. It's finishing exactly how it was starting the video, I really like it. That's something that I want to create, maybe you don't like it, you don't need to put it, you don't need to use it exactly the same, but for me, I like it like that. This is the end of this course, we now know how to fix the audio and everything, but in the next course we're going to put some text, we're going to add text to our video.
12. Adding TEXT and TITLES: We're going to start with a text with the graphics, and we're going to try to also put some animation in the text. So first, before we start to put the text in our sequence, in our video what we're editing, let's go here to the end of the video so I can show you better. So we have the tools here. In the tools, you have the pen and you have the T that is the type tool. These two are going to help you to create graphics and text here. Let's start with the text. We click the T or type tool. If you hold it, you'll see that they have also here vertical type tool, but we're going to use the type tool now, and then basically the vertical type tool is exactly the same, it's just that goes vertical. So you know it's there. Let's use the type tool. You go here in the emptiness, you go here in this screen where is the program panel, and you click. Immediately it's going to come this little rectangle over here. What we're going to do is we're going to write "A Day in the Park". Imagine that this is the title that we want. Still I don't like the font. We can change it, we can make it better, we can make it bigger, we can put shadows, we can make a lot of stuff with this, and we can even give a lot of animation to this. For now, we have a day in the park. You can play it, that's the video. Then we can make it bigger so it can last longer or we can make it like what you want, you want it to last shorter time, you can do whatever you want with this. But how to edit this? There's different ways how to edit because it doesn't mean that because you did it like this it's going to stay like this forever. If you click here in "Selection Tool" or you press "V", you're going to be able actually to move it. You see, you can put it here, you can put it here, you can put the title in the center or whatever. But let's start to edit this title. I'm going to explain you how to do it. So what we're going to do is we're going here to Window. We're going to Essential Graphics, as you can see here. There you go. Now this is opening. By default it's going to open here in Browse, and you can see that actually you have a lot of templates that you can use, a lot. These, for example, here on the top, I created it so you can create templates by yourself because you will see that working with text sometimes is a lot of work and if you are going to use that title often and you are working with a project that you're going to use it often. You don't want to miss those minutes or those hours of work. So you can save the template and you can use it later, like this one for example here. But we're working with this one. So we're going to select here, this a day in the park, and we're going to go to Edit. You see? Edit. Here in Edit, you're going to be able to see that we're working now with a day in the park. This is the text. So if you make more text here, they're going to appear here as layers. This is the text. Then you have here the position, the opacity, for example, you have some information here. Now, if you want to do changes like font, like these things, and I started like this so you can see this mistake that a lot of people are always committing, that they come here and they said, "Yeah, but I cannot change the font, I cannot do anything. Why I cannot do anything?" You have to select this. You see? I just click it on here and look at this, it's a lot of stuff, a lot of information. You can see here, for example, that you can center the image vertically. If you press it's vertically centered there, you know that this is exactly the center of this part. Then you can do it here horizontally, like there you go, it's exactly in the middle. Sometimes, for example, if you're putting subtitles here, you can literally just grab the image and, for example, you have it here. You want to center it, but just here on the bottom, you don't want to go up, so then you can do this and it's exactly in the center for subtitles, for example. If you have different layers of text, you can use this also to center, for example, on the top or on the middle. It's a lot of tools that you have here, and I would like you to come here and start to play with this. Now, you want to change the font. If we come here down and you want to change the font. If we change the font now, nothing's going to happen because we didn't select the words, the phrase. You have to come here and double-click. Now when you double-click, you can see that all this is selected. When it's selected, you can change the font. Let's look for a font. Let's see. Let's use this one here. There you go. Still it's very small, isn't it? It's very, very small. I want it to be centered, so center this. It's exactly in the middle of the screen. I want it to be bigger so we can make it bigger like this, a little bit bigger. There you go. Let's center it again. Another way is also to go to Selection Tool and you see the little dots here around. If we come to the end, we come here, we can make it bigger, we could make it shorter. Do you realize that every time I'm making it bigger it's going to one side instead of growing in the middle? It's because of this. The anchor point is not in the middle. Let's put the anchor point in the middle, and now every time we make it bigger it's going to make it bigger in the middle. You see? There you go. Just in case we can correct this. There you go. Now we have a better font and the size is also better. But still, if we want to add some shadows and stuff, we go here on the bottom. So now the color white, we're going to change it. We come to Fill. Let's go, for example, to red, click, and now it's red. Let's go back to white. Now it's white. For example, a stroke, we can create a stroke also. Let's change the color of the stroke so you can see it like in red. We can make the stroke also bigger. It's pretty cool, isn't it? Now we can change also the color of the background, for example, let's go to this color. There you go. We're making a crazy thing here actually, we're changing the background and everything. Now, you can make also a shadow, but here it's not going to be very visible because the background is black and the background here. We're going to use the shadow when we're going to put it in the video. I showed you already how to change everything. You can change even the angle, you can change many things here. I'll suggest you to come and start to experiment. This is a lot of fun. I mean, when I started with the Premier Pro and I was looking at this, this actually was from 2017, before 2017, this was not here. You had to do it in an old-fashioned way, but actually you can still do it, and I'm going to show you how to do it because there's always many ways of how you can do it, but you have to come here, you have to start to play around and have fun with this. Let's think that this is the title that we want. We can go back to Mario's workplace. We can close this graphic panel, close the panel, there you go, and we can grab this that we just did and put it in the beginning because that's where I wanted this graphic to be. Let's go to the beginning. There you go. Let's shorten it up a little bit. I want it bigger so I can see what I'm doing. There you go. Let's put it like here. Let's see what happened. So that's the title, it's horrible. It's not horrible, but I don't like it. I don't think it's appropriate for this, but well, it's an example, we're going to make it better. Remember that when you see a little blurriness or the quality of the video is not that good when I play back, it's because I put it here in one-eighth of the quality, remember. I wanted it to playback faster. So it's like this. Now, there is something that is happening here. The title is appearing like boom very harsh also. We can create here, remember, the transitions. These are so huge transitions. It's going to be just a little bit, so we can make it shorter. Just a little bit of title is not good. There you go. Make it shorter. There you go, it's okay. Let's look how it appears now with the cross dissolve. It's nice. Very nice. Now, we have the title here. I want to show you another way on how to change the title. We were using the graphics, not the essential graphics that we've pulled from the window. Remember we came to Window, we came to Essential Graphics, and these opened here, and we started to edit the title here. But there is another way to edit it. Imagine if we are just with a day in the park and we didn't do anything here. You just select this, and then of course, remember every time we select something here in the timeline, in the effect control, you're going to be able to see everything. You can see in the Effect Control; Vector Motion, Rotation, Anchor, Scale, and everything. Let's see here a little bit down. I'm going to put it here to center it. You have here text, a day in the park. If you put this down, you have a lot of options. They are the same options that you had here in the essential graphics panel that we opened, but the essential graphic panel, I think it's more user friendly to edit and play with all of these. But still, I'm just showing you that you can also do everything here. The fill in white, I like it. I don't want a stroke, I just did it for fun. So let's take out the stroke. You just click here, you unclick it so it's out. I don't want the background, unclick it, it's out. But now you still see a day in the park, but I cannot see it properly. What you can do actually is to put a shadow. We go for the shadow, it's okay the color, we go like darker shadow, you see. Let's make it darker. Look what is going to happen when I put the separation between the shadow on this. You see. It's okay, that's too much. Let's go to maybe 22. You see it's visible now, because it has a shadow. Now let's see what is going to happen if I press this button that it says the size. That's the size of the shadow. Let's make it a little bit less. Let's make it a 20 or so. You can type here, 20. There you go. The size is 20, we have the distance between the shadow and the text, 22. Let's make it also 20. There you go. Now the blur here, look at the blur. You see it's a blur now. It's not that sharp and I like it like this. The blur is very nice. If you take it out, it's going to be very sharp. But if you start to make the sharpness a little blurry, it looks a little better. Let's see, there. It's very nice. Now everything is centered, everything is good, so you see that we can change also information here. I wanted to do it in the essential graphics panel, it's easier for me, but I wanted to show you also the effect control, so let's do it like this. Now, what do you think if we give the title a little motion? You'd already have the cross dissolve in the sides. But let's make a little motion, let's put it here. The size is perfect size, that's the size I want. But let's put a scale. You can see here, it's already one key frame. Let's go all the way to the end, and let's make it a little bigger. Instead of 100, let's make it like 120, 120 it is. There you go. Now remember what we have to do. We hold it ease out and we hold here and we put the ease in to make it smoother. Now let's see what happened. Remember, we're using key frames here, so we're scaling it up. Let's see what happens. It's nice, isn't it? You know what? Let's put it in full resolution now to see how it works. Look at this. There you go, I like it. Let's go back to one-eighth because I want to work properly. I don't want the playback to be like struggling. Now we have the text here. Now let's go back to the end because I want to show you something else. This is the text we're going to use, maybe, when she comes here, for example. Hello. Maybe there we want to put her name, what do you think? Appear here, Ksenija? What do you think? Let's do it. The name when she says hello, there. I want her name to be here. Now that we know how to create a text, let's create something else. Let's make a text here, let's put here, Ksenija, her name. When we are typing, look, it's choosing the same font we used in the beginning, the same shadows, all the same. It is very nice actually, it's by default. Why? Because it's not good that you're going to do a video and you're going to be using different fonts, different styles, different things. It's not pleasant to the viewer, and that's why this happened. But you can change the font if you want, and we're going to do something like that. We're not going to change the font, but we're going to change the way the title is appearing. Now we're going to go to V or Select tool. Let's move the title here. There you go. Now let's do something. Do you remember that I told you also that we were going to talk about the pen later. Let's use the pen. We are going to click here, when you hold the pen, you're going to have a rectangle, you're going to have an ellipse tool. You can make graphics with this. If you use the pen by itself, you can actually create graphics like these. You see, you can create custom graphics like whatever you want here. But we don't want that, so I'm going to erase it. What we want is to create a rectangle, and we're going to do this. Let me see. I want to see the size. There you go. Now, as you can see, the rectangle is covering the name. Let's go back to Essential Graphics, I'm going to show you something. We're going to extend this a little bit because we're editing this. Let's go to Edit, and this is marked as you can see, it's marked here. Select it so we can see here the edit that we're going to edit these graphic that we created with Ksenija name and also the shape. But as you can see, this shape is over and Ksenija is down. This is very important. When you are editing, always whatever is on the top is the thing that is going to be visible. It's very similar also in Photoshop, if you know how to use Photoshop. Every time you have a layer on the top, the layer on the top is going to be the one who's going to be visible. What you're going to do is to press this and drag it down. There you go. Now you can see Ksenija here and the shape is under, but I don't like the color. Because it's selected the shape, you can see all the information here is from the shape. So what we're going to do now is to select the fill and we don't want that color. Let's go for red. What do you think? We were using red, let's go for a more colorful red. This red, for example. There you go. It doesn't look that good. First, we're going to move it. Let's move the position a little bit. This is to move the position. Let's move it a little bit, we want it to be center, and I think there it's going to be centered. What we want, to make it look nicer, it's the opacity. Let's take the opacity a little bit. There you go. I think it's okay now. Let's see if by itself like this, it's okay. Let's press ''V'' and let's go here. I like it. I don't think I need to put a stroke. Let's see how it would look with a stroke. We put a stroke. Let's see. No, I don't like the stroke. Let's take it out. There you go. We don't even need a shadow or anything because this is very nice. What we are going to do is something really cool. We're going to create key frames, we're going to make this an animation that is super cool. You will see. Let's create the key frames here in the effect control. Now, we're going to have the shape selected. Let's close this for now so it's going to be more visible for you guys. Now, we're going to select the shape. We're going to go down here and this is the size. You see? When you have these here, when you get at the end, it means it's the end of the video or the graphic here. If you grab it and go all the way here, that's the beginning of the graphic. Now that we selected the shape, you see all of this information. You can see here Path, Appearance and you can see the Transform, the Position. Let's go to the position. Let's make it clock here because this is the position we want. This is where I want the image to be at the end, the final position. So let's go to position. Let's click in the clocks. So we're creating in this moment a keyframe. Now let's go here. If you click here in 114, let's go to move that position. You see it's moving. It's moving towards outside the screen. So we're going to move it outside the screen, completely outside the screen. I'm doing it like pressing the down to go all the way out. It's taking longer, so we can actually go here and type maybe 1,000. Still, we can do it more. Let's go here all the way outside. There you go. We are outside. It doesn't exist. So the first key frame that we created is where we want it to be in the final position. This key frame is out but we don't want it to be out here. We want it to start outside from the beginning. So let's move both key frames. But I think it's too slow. Did you see? Because of the key frames, it's coming from outside but it's too slow. But we wanted to make it shorter, so it means the final position is going to be closer. Let's see now. Hello. It's faster. That's better. It could be a little bit faster still. Now what we want is here, there. There we wanted to get out. So we're going to do the same. You can copy this keyframe, pressing Alt. You press Alt and you just pull it. You see? It came here. Now you select this, you press "Alt", and then you just drag it into the other side. Of course it's not at the end, so you can select both and drag it into the end. Like the end would be, let me see, perfect. As you can see, I just stretched this out. You can see that the frames are there nicely. So now let's go back. We're doing these little by little, so take it easy. We go here and you can see this. Hello. Perfect. But we are not over because then it has to go. But we are not over. We want the same to happen to the name. So now we're going again to the Effects Control. Let's just click here again so it goes up and it becomes invisible from here. So we're not going to have many things. Even if you close it, you can see that they are key frames here. So it's telling you, don't forget that you have some key frames in these track. Now, let's go to the first track that is Ksenija, is the name, the text. Let's go down and we'll do the same thing. Position as you can see. This is the final position. This is the position we want it to be. So what we're going to do, is we're going to click the clock. Click, there you go. This is the final position. We're going to put it for now at the same spot of the order. For now. Now let's go here. Now we're going to do exactly the same with Ksenija. We got it. Now we're going to play a little bit with this. Again, remember, you select, you hold Alt and you drag it. You remember we have here the Snap Tool. Every time you pull an image or a footage close to the other, it's snaps to the other because this is connected. This is always going to happen here also. For example, I'm going to select this and I'm going to hold it over here and it's not exactly where the other keyframe is, the keyframe from the shape. It's not together, but we don't want it to be like that. We want the shape to come first and Ksenija to come later. So this is something we're going to do. So we go back to the shape. There you go. Let's make this bigger so we can see both key frames here. There you go. What we're going to do, is this key frame to put it a little bit closer here. So it's going to come first, then Ksenija. Now Ksenija is going to be, both of these key frames a little bit here. So now you'll see exactly what is happening. Now here, we're going to do the same. They are going to go first a little bit here. There you go and Ksenija goes later. You'll understand what I mean. What I just did, look at this. These key frames are before the key frame, so Ksenija are after. So the image, the red background is going to come first, and then it's going to come Ksenija. At the end, the background is going to go first and Ksenija is going to go later. This is just like a game guys. When you start to understand key frames and you know that when you do this, these things are going to come from outside and get outside again at the end and you do the same here, you're going to start to play around, maybe you want Ksenija to come from the other side is just fun. Let's go back here. Oh, we forgot something and I keep telling everybody to do it. Remember, select, right-click, Temporal Interpolation, we put out, and we put in. This is to make it smoother. Then we put out and we put in. There you go. We do the same here. There you go. Now we can do this. There you go. I want to show you what is going to happen. Let's see. Hello. Did you see? I'm going to make it bigger so you can see exactly that it's just a little bit, it's not so strong like, oh, my God, it's coming super before. It's not like this but it is. It is coming before the background and then the name. Let's make it bigger. Hello. Did you see that? Then it goes. I like it. Believe it or not, this lesson is a little long because this takes time to do. It takes time. So what are you going to do? For example, you know what, I'm going to go to other park and I'm going to go to the other park and to the park and I want to do a different videos and I want to use all the time this movement that I did, this graphic that I did, this animation. So what you're going to do, is you right-click in the animation and it's written here. You can see here in the options Export As Motion Graphics Template. What you're going to do is you click here. There you go. This is going to open name, a day in the park. That's the name of the template because you have to know. It could be a day in the park or you can put for example, Ksenija, name animation or Ksenija title animation or title animation, whatever you want. Whatever you want, you can do. Local Templates folder is basically the default. It means that it's going to save it here in the Premier Pro and when you go to the essential graphics that we're opening here to edit, there on the top you have Local Templates folder and you can find it there. The other option you have is to save it in the local drive. What does it mean? You're going to save it in your computer. You're going to look for the place where to save it and you save it into your computer. Why would you do that? Why? Because of a reason that if you have friends that are editing also with you or somebody's editing something, very similar and he's your friend and he tells you, "Oh, you know what, man? I really like the template that you did. I really like the graphics, how the name comes." You can tell him, "You know what? It's cool because I have it here. I'm going to send it to you in an e-mail." You can literally send him the template in an e-mail, so you save it in a local drive. That's the reason. If you're working with different people, that's perfect. But I always save it in the Local Templates folder. So let's do that. Let's save it here. Remember that a day in the park is the name of the template. There you go. We just saved it. So imagine that we are around here, oh, you know what? I would like to put exactly the same here. So then you go to Window, you go to Essential Graphics. That is what we were using to edit here. You can see Browse and remember that it was appearing a lot of stuff here. Look what is appearing in the top because it was safe as a day in the park. If you don't see it here, you can actually put here and type a day in the park and it's going to appear. It's here. You saved it. It's a template already. So you can literally drag it all the way here and there you go. You have it. The best is that you can click here and you can change your name like my name, and it's to work exactly the same. You can see here, it's going to work exactly the same. You can put any name you want and if it's not center, remember you edit here, Mario. You can center it with the shape, you can fix everything here, so it's pretty cool, isn't it? So now we know how to save the templates. I'll suggest you to practice and practice and practice and you'll be surprised you're going to come up with such nice ideas. So if that happened immediately, I'll suggest you to save them as a template. So now we know everything about a text. It's as simple as that. You just need to practice to start to get new ideas and be creative. Let's see you in the next lesson.
13. Synchronizing Audio and Video: I want to show you also how to synchronize audio with video. So I have here in sequences, a sequence that I prepared because it doesn't have to do anything with the Walk In The Park sequence that we are doing. So let's go here to "Synchronizing Audio". This is a sequence I created. This is basically just to show you how to synchronize audio. This is actually the intro of this course, and I recorded with the camera and the audio from the camera. So this is going to be the audio from the camera. Normally, audios from the camera are not that professional. Besides that, you can see here in my chest, I have, very hidden, a microphone and this is going to be a lavalier, so it's more professional audio. I recorded it separately, so if you see it here, I have here the audio. So we're going to pull it here. Of course, I'm just showing you a part of the intro. This is the audio of the whole intro, and that's why it's much bigger than the little video that I'm going to show you. So what do you do? How to synchronize the audio? We select all the videos, so just clicking the emptiness and drag it to select all. Another way is "Ctrl A", like I showed you before, I mentioned it before. Then you're going to do right-click. You have the options again. Now in this options you're going to find here "Synchronize", your going to click "Synchronize", and in here you're going to have audio. This is normally marked by default, so don't worry, I'm just remarking it but it's audio. Then you click "Okay". And Premiere Pro, by itself, is going to synchronize the audio. Look at this. "Where is the video?" you will say. You just zoom out and the video is here because this audio is over here. So let's put the blue line, we move it and we put it here because every time you zoom in, it's going to zoom in based in this line. Now let's zoom in. There you go, we have it there. You see the spaces here? This is synchronized. Now what we do, "C", to cut, and then we cut here, then "V", we're going to erase this audio from the side, and that's it. We have the audio synchronized. I'm going to show you how it sounds. Let's play. By the way, when you want to play the playback, when you want to listen or watch the video, just click in the spacebar. The spacebar is going to work instead of coming all the way here and click "Play", just spacebar. It's very nice to meet you. My name is Mario and I'm a photographer, videographer, YouTuber. There you go. It's synchronized. Now if we solo this track here, A1, that is basically the audio from the camera, listen how it sounds. It's very nice to meet you. My name is Mario and I'm a photographer, videographer. It's not that bad. But it's a lot of echo because it's not a professional microphone is just the microphone that comes with the camera. Now let's go to solo, this one that is the audio that is with the lavalier microphone. My name is Mario and I'm a photographer, videographer, YouTuber. Much better, but as you can see, both are synchronized now. So what we do is we erase the one in the middle. So let's click "Alt". Remember that when you click "Alt" and hold it while you click in the audio, it's going to erase just the audio instead of selecting both. Remember if I select the audio by itself without clicking "Alt", it selects both audio and video, we want to erase the audio. So "Alt", there you go, and now "Delete". Now we have the synchronized audio, that professional sound with the videos. Very nice to meet you. My name is Mario and I'm a photographer. Perfect. Now if you want to edit this, instead of being cutting and cutting and cutting or both of them separately, what you can do is you select both, "Right-click" and "Link". What I just did is link both, so actually if I want to move the video, it moves with the audio. So they are both linked and now you can edit both of them, like it would be a video with their own audio. That's how you synchronize the video with the audio.
14. Color Correction: Now we are going to do some color correction. We are towards the end of the editing, so this is exciting. We are going to have our final video already done here in the editing. So what we do? We are going to try to color correct this footage. There is many ways how you can do it. You can actually take here in color, and this panel is going to be open here that is called Lumetri color, that is basically an effect. So whatever you do here, remember that when you do an effect immediately goes to effect controls. It means as soon as you do an effect here, you are going to be able to see it also here in effect controls. But let's forget about this and let's focus in the effect that we are going do here, the Lumetri color, the changing of color. This is one of the ways. If you don't see it here, but normally it's always here, you go to window, and you can see here Lumetri Color. This is where you find them, Lumetri Color. This is what you have in Lumetri color; basic correction, creative, curves, color wheels and match, HSL secondary and vignette. We are going to talk about all of them, we're going to try to be fast talking about all of them. But the idea is for you to understand what everything is doing in the Lumetri color. The basic correction, this is what we are going to do first, is the color correction. It says here, basic correction, is basically to correct the color of our footage, to make it as natural as possible, how we saw it when we were filming it. Now, there is another common phrase you will hear next to color correction, and it's color grading, which is something basically different than color correction. We are going to see color grading here in the Creative batch here in the title over here. Now color grading is when you want to give a specific look to your footage to show what you want to express better, is more artistic, and it's done always after you do your color correction. But we'll see that a little later in this lesson. Now let's start with the basic correction. We click here and it's all these open. We are going to talk about all of these. We start with input LUT. This is going to be very technical, it's basically a color correction that has been done already, and most of the time it's for a specific log. For example, if you open it, the Alexa camera Default_Log_C2Rec709. If you have an Alexa camera and you did the video with that, this is a very good color correction. It's already done, and this is when you film with a log, like when you have the Canon or you have even a drone, DJI drone or whatever the brand of the drone you are using. These devices, these cameras, they have different logs like cinematic logs and things like that. So if you are using some of those logs, there is a possibility you can find them here. You can find here the Phantom, for example, from the DJI, then you have the ARRI cameras. Then when we go to Creative here, to color grading, you are going to find more of these. But basically in color correction, the basic correction, I never use a lot. So let's go with white balance. My camera, we'll select it in a very nice log. As you can see, the colors are very nice. There is no much to change here because I like this vivid colors. It was not noon, so you can see actually how the sun is shining and all the colors are very good. But white balance, is in case you have the wrong white balance in your camera and then maybe your image is warm or it's a little cool, it's blue. You can change the white balance here. You change the temperature, for example, here, and then you make the image a little blue. You see it's like more five o'clock, six o'clock in the afternoon, you go more and more, it looks like it's going to get dark, it's blue and you can do the opposite here. You make it warm like for example, in a sunset. If it's a sunset, this would be the color of a sunset. But the real color, because I recorded with the proper log and proper white balance, would be this one. Now, how did I reset this? Let's go to the warm. You just double-click here and it resets. This is going to happen with all of this. Now, if you put for example, warmness like this, normally is giving a little bit of magenta color when you put the warmness. If you do that, we can go towards the opposite side with a little bit of greenish to fix it a little bit, and actually this color is very nice, but it's not natural. So you would be able to use these colors depending of what you want to show in your image. But for me, this is not what I want, I just want to show a walk in the park, so I'm just going to leave it like it was. Another way you can do this is to ask Premiere Pro to do it for you. Look for a white color around your footage. For example, this wall is white, so you choose the white selector, you go to this white. So you are telling Premier Pro this is white. So Premiere Pro is going to fix the white balance. Let's click it, and as you can see here, there is no changes because my white balance was perfect. But if your white balance is not perfect, if it will be towards the cool temperature or some other temperatures, then it's wrong. Set it to white balance. You're going to click just here, you go to the white around the image that you have, and it's going to work. If you don't have anything white in your image, well, you have to do it manually, but this is what this is here. Now you know what this is doing. Let's keep going. Now we go for the tone. You have the exposure. I think that the image is properly exposed, but of course, if it's not, you can go all the way. Look at this, this is over exposed and you can go actually all the way down. This is under exposed. Double-click, and it goes perfectly where it was. This is properly exposed. The contrast. You always want to look for a proper contrast in the image. Normally, I give to the image 20, for example, in contrast, let's see how it works. It's working properly. If you go all the way to the contrast, look, all the darks are very dark, all the whites are very white. I prefer to leave it like that maybe and go a little bit higher, maybe like a 20. Now highlights. Some of the parts like the whites here, for example, is a little bit over highlighted, you see? So we can try to go down and highlight a little bit and it's getting fixed a little bit. It's good that we did a proper white balance and proper color in the camera so we don't need to change much. Shadows. We can go all the way and look at the shadows. We're giving more shadows. If we do the opposite, we take out the shadows. We don't want that because it doesn't look natural. We normally go here, double-click and reset it, and I'm going to come here because here also, instead of moving this, you can go here and put the exact number. Let's go down because I like to put a little bit more of shadows. It gives this tone that I like. Let's make it in five, let's see how it looks. A little bit more maybe, let's go to 10. There you go. It's okay. You are not losing any details. It's perfect. Now whites, we have these whites here. Well the shirt is not white, but it seems to be white. Let's see what happens if we go all the way up. It's too much. It gets over a lot of highlights. We don't want that. We go all the way in the other side. Now it seems dark. So the whites are okay. Let's leave them like this. Remember, every time I reset this, just double-click. Black, so I'm going to show you if I go all the way there and then all the way there, you see the blacks are almost gone. Then we have to go in the middle and then play a little bit. Maybe I can give a little bit of blacks because I like it. Let's go there maybe. Let's go to five. The saturation. The saturation of the image is to give more color or less color. So if we take all the colors out, this is going to be black and white and I'm going to show you this. Saturation, if we go all the way to the left, it becomes black and white and it looks also nice. Then if we go all the way to the right, it's extremely saturated. I don't like that. So let's double-click. We go here and 100 percent, that is what the camera does. Maybe we can give it 105. Let's see how it looks. It's okay. I'm going to leave it in 105. So this is basically the basic correction. We just color correct. I just change this, so we can see it properly. What we want to do is to go from the first video and do the same color correction to all of the videos. When you finish with all the color correction, we can go to the color grading if you want to do it. Most of the videos I do, if it's travel videos or if it's, for example, an interview or videos for where I'm just talking, like talking here, somethings like that, I don't do any color grading, but we're going to go color grading now. What you can do also to see the difference, this is the video we just color corrected. Let's go a little bit higher here. Basic correction, you see it's checked. It means this is what we just did. If you unchecked, you can see the difference. That's how it was. That's how it is now. Is not a big difference, but it is a difference. You know what? Little things make everything better. This is a color corrected image. Now I'm going to creative curves. We're going to finish with what everything is doing here. All of these, what they do. Then after that, I'm going to show you how to color correct all of these without going one by one. You click here where it says basic correction. You just click it and you're going to minimize it. So let's go now to creative and I'm going to explain you what is color grading. I'm going to show you an image to show you what is color grading. You can film an image that looks super good. It's amazing, but then when you do the color grading, you express something with the image and I'm going to show you this, Star Wars. Just focus in the top image. Focus in the top image, is nice, is very good. The white balance is perfect. The colors are perfect. You can see is all focus of course because it's a professional film. They use the best camera. They are professionals doing this. This is an amazing movie actually and you can see the perfection of the image and everything. But if you go here down and look at the difference, none of them are better than the other. They are just different. The top one, if the movie will be made like the top one, it would give me a feeling. This, it gives another feeling. This is more like a cool image. You can see more blue here. Even the face a little bit more of orange. Also red here. This is color grading to change completely the colors because they want to express something. It doesn't mean that it's a necessity to change the colors, but they want to express something, then they do it like this. It's color grading. Let's go back to Premier Pro and let's talk about creative. You have here where it says, look. When you go to look here, you're going to have a lot of presets. I purchase a lot of presets. You can purchase actually a lot of presets online, and I purchased so many. So you're going to see a lot of them that I purchased. Normally when you have the Premier Pro and you didn't purchase anything, you're going to have this, for example. This is Fuji ETERNA. These are cameras. These are cameras and these are Kodak, Fuji F125 Kodak. This is a lot. So this is actually something that was created by Adobe, the creator of Premier Pro. So it comes with this software., You are going to find, just go there, experience this, experiment and find out what is the difference. I'm going to show you, for example, this one. Look how it look. You see, it's completely different. The first thing that we did is color correction. So now based in our color correction, they give this look. You see, it's a little bit less blacks. It's more white. It's very nice. Now if you don't like it or if you like it, but you're like, "You know what? I need more intensity," you have the intensity of the LUT. So you can go like this or like this. Like this looks more than how it was before. You can go and play around with this. If you use this arrow here, you can switch to all the LUTs that you have and you can maybe find something that you like. You see, here is more dark, more blacks. Then you can go more. You can check all the LUTs that you have. This one and if you like it and you said, for example, "You know what? This is the one I want." Just click it and that's it. You have it here. You look at the sky, it's completely different. You can see that the light blue is very, very strong. Look at the house here. There was light blue. Now is super strong. Maybe you liked this LUT and you just use it. You can use it for all of the videos. We'll just choose these LUT that is extremely a lot of green. Intensity, let's take the intensity a little bit like here. Now you go here in adjustments and you can adjust the LUT. So not necessarily you have to use the LUT exactly like how it is. You can also adjust it. You can put the fader film. You see, it's faded. It's a lot of whites there, less blacks. You can change also here by number. You can go like this and you can use this. Like this, you can see how it looks. You see, there you go. You can also sharpen your image. But when you sharpen your image, you have to be very careful because sometimes it's too sharp and it doesn't look natural. So let's try to go around here. What I'm doing is not because I like it, it's because I'm showing you how to use it. Vibrance is basically color also. Look at this. If we go all the way here, now let's go all the way down. You see, that's vibrance. It's changing the color. What I'm always suggesting since the beginning of this course is to come and use it, put whatever the image is you filmed and use it, start to play around because you're going to find things that you're going to like for sure and you can create your own workflow. Saturation, you can go again the same way, all the way to black and white and you can go all extremely saturation. But remember, we're playing with saturation of this LUT, of this color correction that is already made. Now let's reset this. Let's reset this. Lets reset all. We're missing this. We're missing the wheels. Now, in the wheels, you can change the Shadow Tint and the Highlighting Tint as is written here. Of all what you did, you can change the tint. I'm going to show you how. You want to go towards the yellowish orange. This tint is going to give more like a sunset color. But remember, we're just moving the Shadow Tint. If you do it here in color correction that we also have the tint, and you can go towards this side or this side, the tint is going to change completely all the image. If we do it here in Creative, you are going to move the tint of just the shadows or just the highlights. For example, we go all the way here, we start to create. You see that it's getting warmer. You can come in the highlights and go also all the way here, super warmer. Now, if you can go to warmer and in the highlights you go to the opposite, look how it changed. It goes more bluish, but it starts to become not natural. How to reset this? Double-click. Double-click. Always double-click, reset everything. Now, we finish with Creative. Let's go and talk. Let's talk about Curves. Now, we have the Curves are basically, it's written here RGB. Whoever doesn't know what it means it's red, green, and blue, and these are the main colors. This is how the Curves work. The white is basically all of these three together. We're going to have here on this spot, the pure white, here on the bottom, pure black. Then around here it's shadows and highlights. If you understand this, you understand already the Curves. If you see here there is a dot, and here there is a dot. If I put my mouse over the line, you see a pen. It means I can create more dots. Let's work with this point and let's go all the way here. Did you you see what I'm doing with the blacks? I'm changing the blacks, I'm taking out the blacks. If I go to the opposite side, I'm actually giving more blacks. The same is going to happen if I do it here. If I do like this, I'm giving more whites and like this, I'm taking the whites. Again, if you want to reset this, double-click in the emptiness here, and then it goes to the straight line again. For example, I want to give contrast to the image. To give contrast to the image, you want to give more blacks and you're going to give more whites. Whites are going to be pure white and blacks are going to be pure black. This is basically a perfect contrast. If I want to do that and, for example, I give blacks here, you see more blacks appeared and then I want the whites. I'm going to give like this. I'm giving more whites. This is nice, but you can see that it's too much white and too much black. I'm losing details around here. That's why this is called the Curves. That's why it is better if you use Curves, professional color correctors, if that phrase exist, they are going to use always an S Curve or Curves never like this. I'm going to show you the difference. This is too harsh. I'm going to show you the difference. Double-click. We would go here. Imagine that we want to give a little bit of highlights up and put a little bit of shadows here. Let's click here, and let's click here. There you go. Now, you grab up this and you're going to do this. Look what I'm doing. I'm pulling a little bit down. Now, this I'm pulling a little bit up. I'm adding whites and I'm adding shadows. But did you realize that it's not like before? Before I was losing details because it was too harsh. The black was too black, but now it's shadows. You can even add another dot here, and these are going to be the midtones. You can actually move like this or move like this. You see what I'm doing? But basically, all the time you have to work with Curves. Because unless you really need to do the opposite, but Curves are going to be the solution for these little details. Because if we come back here to Basic Correction, we're having Blacks, we're having Shadows, Highlights, Whites, but you are taking too much highlights. Here with the Curves, you are playing naturally with more detail and it's more artistic, it feels better and for me, I'm always using the Curves. I suggest you to practice them. Be master in the Curves and then you are going to be a master of color corrections. Now, we have here the red, we have here the green, and we have here the blue. As we can see, we have a lot of green because it's a park. Let's go to the green, and its going to work exactly the same. You have the darkest green, the lightest green, and you play with highlights and shadows, but basically just in the green colors. Let's do the same. Let's click here, let's click here, and let's click here, and let's go again. The same thing. You see, it's taking greens, it's adding greens. What we do is a straight line and just a little bit, not much, and here we're going to fix that a little bit higher There you go, and then this is what we're doing. We are changing the color. Of course, I don't like the colors that I have here now. Before it was better because I'm doing this to give you an example. But still, all the changes I'm doing in the Curves are very subtle and they are very not taking any detail. This is why the Curves are here. Also the red, for example, we have a very strong red and the red pans. If we double-click here and we go like this, look at the reds are changing completely. You see, so this is the point. Now, we understand what the Curves are doing. Let's double-click here. Let's go to the green, double-click here, let's go to the white and double-click and we go back to where it was because basically later in this lesson, I'm going to show you how to do it without having to go one by one. Now, here we have the hue saturation Curves; Hue vs Saturation, Hue vs Hue. This is more advanced and it's going to be more into detail, Hue vs Luma. Again, here you're going to have the pen here, so we can create these points. I want you to see what is going to happen as soon as I move them. You see that this blue color and light blue color are going up in saturation means the sky and this house. Let's go the opposite. You see the sky is losing the color and this is loosing the color. Because in all the picture, if we double-click always, the only light blue colors are the sky and this house. You can actually play just with the light blue colors. Now if you go, for example, and you make two points here, and we're going to play with the red color. Now, let's play with the red colors and we start to move the red colors. You can actually work with the specific colors. This is the Hue vs Saturation. If we go here, it's Hue vs Hue. That's what I'm saying always, you have to come and start to practice to realize what is the difference. Look at the hue. I'm changing Hue vs Hue. I'm changing the color actually from the blue to green and pink. That's pretty cool. You see now it's purple, the sky is purple. We don't want to do that, but well, you can practice. For example, I want to change just the pans. What you're going do is you come to here, that it's this selector, and you're going to select the color and immediately it's going to here. Did you see what it does? Because it has a little bit of orange, it has a little bit of this, so we can actually go like that and start to change all what it is here and is here. Well, now you understand basically what it does. I don't want to damage the video. But the Hue vs Luma, all of these, you have to play with them, but I will suggest you to practice and use them. When I started to learn about this, I really was practicing a lot in this, trying to make crazy things in my videos, and it was a lot of fun. But like I said, I'd never use them professionally when I'm doing my own videos professionally because it's not my style or what I want to do. We finished with the Curves. Now, we go to Color Wheels and Match. This basically is going to work very similar than the Curves. But here, I have more control. I'll show you why. As you can see here, I can change just the Shadows, just the Midtones, just the Highlights by themselves. This is really cool. Something I want to be very clear is that shadows are not blacks and highlights are not whites. We have this clear, we're safe to go with this. These wheels are going to help me to change colors just in the Shadows or colors just in the Highlights, or colors just in the Midtones. If I go to Curves or Creative or Basic Correction and I change colors there, I'm going to change basically the colors of all the image unless I select a specific color and that's a different story. But now what we can do here is to change all the colors, go towards the orange, but just for the Midtones or just in the Shadows are just in the Highlights. That's perfect. That's very into detail and as you can see now, if you start to do color correction and you reach from Basic Correction all the way here, you are starting to become a professional color corrector. I mean, you are exactly going to very into detail of everything and you can create a nice contrast. For example, I'm going to give a lot of green to the Shadows. Let's go here and you just start to go towards the shadow. Did you see how green is changing? But it's the green of the Shadows. For example, in the Shadows, I'm going to give you more blue. You know always the Shadows are related to the night. Let's go to add some blue to the Shadows. There you go. But now we go to the Highlights and the Highlights are related to the day. In the day is a lot of lights and the day is normally related to yellow and orange. Let's go to yellow and orange. You see I'm already correcting what I took from here, I'm adding from here, and the image looks a little retro. I'm making such nice colors here, I like them. But this is basically what this does. I'm changing colors, adding little colors but just to the Shadows, just to the Highlights and the same is going to happen with the Midtones. Now, besides what we're doing here, I can add the intensity of what I'm doing. For example, I can lower it down or I can go all the way up. This is really cool, you see? Also you can come here and do the same. This is basically what it is. Now, Face Detection is going to do the same, it's going to detect the face and it's going to start to change here, but the image is too far. Xenia is very far from the image is not a portrait. She's like, I don't know, far from the camera. So it's not going to be possible to fix this here and it's not needed actually. Remember, all the time, double-click, double-click, and it's all reset it. Let's go back. Color Wheels are done. Now, we're going to HSL Secondary. This part is a lot of fun because you can choose actually the color you want to change specifically. For example, let's look at the house and the sky. Let's choose this color. Or actually, you can come here. Do you see the selector? You can click in the "Selector" and select the color. You see? It just selected the color. It's all light blue and everything. Normally this is going to select exactly what you want, so you don't need to get crazy about it, but for you to understand, this part over here is going to be the range of the color you selected, and this part over here is going to be the feather. But if you want to see exactly what you selected, you can come here, then normally by default it's in color gray, but I like the color black better. Then you just click it and you'll see. You just selected the house. Did you see here? Just the house. There you go. Now, if you see some harsh edges here, you can denoise it like this, but it's perfect. I like it how it is, so I'm just going to leave it there. Blur also is like to increase feather. You see its blur now, but I don't want it, I want it to be sharp, and this is what I want. Now that we know that we selected this, it's properly because this is what I wanted to select, the house. Let's click it here. There you go. Now that we know what we selected based on what we did here, let's go down here, and we have this color wheel, that is the correction. You can play with this or you can come here and play with the mid tones, shadows, and highlights, but remember, we're going to play with this just from the house, just we're going to change the colors in the house. Well, actually we don't change the colors, we mix colors, creating new colors. For example, if I go to "Contrast," there you go. Just the house. Everything is working just with the house. We go to "Sharpen," here like this. Saturation, we can exaggerate or we can go all the way to zero. You see that the color here is really banishing before was better. Let's reset it so you can see. You see now it's light blue again? Temperature, let's make it warmer. This is like a sun here facing the house. Let's go to cooler, it's even stronger. You see, we selected here, and this is the best of this HSL Secondary that you can choose a specific colors to work with. Pretty cool, isn't it? So now let's do the last part here in correction in the HSL. Let's go here, you see these options? Instead of playing just with one wheel, we can play with three wheels; mid tones, shadows, and highlights. We can actually make the highlights a little bit more towards the orange here. This house, it's perfect, it's very sharp, so it's not going to be a lot of changes, but you can actually play literally, if you want to change, for example, the green, you're going to be playing with mid tones, shadows, and highlights here. I wanted to show you that this is here and this exist. Let's go back to this and that's it. Let's go now to "Vignette" and let's finish with this lesson. I guess you know what vignette is, in the pictures when you see these dark sides all over the image, so you can focus in the middle. I'm going to show you, if I go to the left, it goes to the normal vignette. Do you see these dark that is coming in the sides? This is a little darker in the corners. That's the vignette. For you to understand better, let's go to the midpoint, and let's go like this. This is the vignette. You see? It's getting darker and this is the midpoint, but I make it bigger, and that's it. Normally when a person is talking in an interview or a talking head or things like that, you can add the vignette, and it's very nice. Now, what happens if I go to the opposite side? Look, it becomes white. But what happen with the white? Why would you use the white? Sometimes, I don't know if it happened to you that you have this camera with this lens, and the lens by itself, it adds a little bit of vignette. The vignette, sometimes maybe you don't want it, so you can come here and go to the opposite that it makes it wider, and it's going to correct that vignette if you don't want to use it. Now, let's exaggerate in the vignette here because I want to show you, what is the meaning of roundness? The name it says by itself. If you go here, you're going to make it square. If you go here, you're going to make it more round instead of oval. But when you do a vignette, what you want is actually to show the same distance between the sides of the image. So you want an oval instead of rounded. Let's see, midpoint, you can see actually that it's round, and it's not oval anymore. If I go here, you see it's more oval. Until you get square, but you don't want square ever. It depends. Maybe you want square for a reason. Of course, feather is, you know what feather means. Let's go back to this. You can see the feather. Feather is actually helping to banish the vignette, and you don't see the vignette properly, so you just fill it, and that's what we want to. We use the feather to fill the vignette and it makes a nicer look. Let's reset all of this. Now we know what the vignette is. I'm going to show you how to erase all of this because actually it's very nice to show you that. Let's go back to "Mario Workplace." Even though I know that I was resetting everything I did, maybe I missed something, so for sure I missed it. If you come here in "Effect Control" because remember, every time we have an effect it's going to appear here. The color correction and Lumetri Color is an effect, so it came here. Let's go here to "Effect Controls." Let's go a little bit down, and look at this, Lumetri Color. So it means we add the colors to the image, even though I reset them, maybe I forgot something, and that's why it's still here. You can see here the colors, everything we did is here. You see contrast, highlights. I actually did it and I didn't reset it. I can reset it here. But what I want to do is actually clicking "Lumetri" and delete. Now, we go back to the beginning. We don't have any color correction or anything. Why? To finish with this lesson, I'm going to show you something incredible. This is going to happen if all the images that you have were filmed in the same day, in the same place with the same camera, like I did here. Because this happened, you can do a color correction to all the footages. If you have different cameras, if you film in different days, I would suggest you to do the color correction for each footage. Each footage has to be color corrected, but in this case, same time, same day, same camera. All the footage is are going to be very similar as you can see. It's going to be very easy because we're going to color correct easily without having to put color correct to every single footage. Project: a day in the park. Let's click in the [inaudible]. You see here this new item, here in the corner? You click it here and you have sequence, you have projects shortcut, you have all these options. This is supercool. "Adjustment Layer," so let's click it here. They're going to ask you for the size of the adjustment layer, it's exactly like the video we're editing. That is basically 4K and 24 frames per second. Let's click "Okay." There you go, it's done. What you're going to do is to click it and drag it on the top of your video. There you go. Now, this is covering all your video. What this is doing is whatever you apply here is going to be applied in everything. I think you're getting the point, you're getting more less where I'm going. If you want to apply one effect to all of these things, you just apply it here in adjustment layer and everything is going to apply to everything. Now, let's go again to "Color." As you can see, we are in the color correction again, Lumetri Color, but we're not going to color correct the image. We can, if you click in the image, you can correct just this image. Or if you click here, we're selecting this footage, you can color correct just this footage, but we don't want that. We want to correct the adjustment layer, so it means it's going for everything. Now, for example, in exposure, it was a good exposure. I remember I put in contrast 20. I remember I put in highlights and maybe minus 10. Then maybe shadows, let's go minus five, and then blacks also minus five. Whites, no, I don't need to change the whites because all the whites are very clear, actually the highlights are very strong. Maybe I can go to minus 20 in highlights. There you go. This is an example, so I'm just going to do the basic correction. Then saturation, I think we did 105, let's go there. It's very saturated. I could go lower, but let's leave it like that because I want to show you the example. That's it. Let's go back to "Mario's Workplace." As you can see, the color correction was made in "Adjustment Layer." Now, let me show you something. If I take out or pull it out the adjustment layer. I want you to remember the image here. Now, look at the difference. Did you see the difference? Now, we go back here and there's a difference. Now, remember we're selecting the adjustment layer, so let's go to the "Effect Control." You can see here, Lumetri Color. It means this effect was applied to the adjustment layer. If you want to see the difference of the colors, let's focus here in the effect controls. Fx, you see where it says "Fx Lumetri Color?" It means this is the effect. If I click here, I'm going to turn it off. I'm not erasing the effect. I'm just turned it off, so you can see the difference. So I'm going to click it and I want you to see the image how it's going to change. This is the now and this is the before. It's a very subtle change. But I'm going to do it again because I want you to see. There you go. It's the difference, but I'm going to exaggerate in the example. Let's go again to "Color" and let's go to 184 of saturation in the adjustment layer. Now, let's go back to "Mario." I'm going to show you again here. Let's go back to Lumetri Color and I'm going to show you. I'm going to click "Lumetri Color" and I want you to see the difference in the image. I'm going to turn it off. It's a difference. Then you turn it on and it's a difference. It's pretty cool, isn't it? Very nice. Now, we know how to color correct. We managed to talk about all the things we can do in the color correction section or the color here. Or remember, you go to "Window" and you go to "Lumetri Color" here. I'm going to ask you to go there, experiment, practice, have fun because it's really a lot of fun, and that's it. Let's go to the next lesson.
15. Exporting Our Video: Okay guys, we've finished. I did my color correction and I did something really crazy. I add some light and the color is very nice, I like it like this. Like I said, go and play with it and you'll find maybe a lot that you like. Play with the intensity of the light and everything, and you're going to like it, you're going to have fun. Let's go here and I'm going to show you how to export the video, because we have a lot of footages here, colored in images and audio, but we want to export the video, so how to do it. There's different ways like all the time in Premier Pro, you go to File here in the left corner, go all the way down and you can see here Export, and you go to Media. This is the keyword, you can see here Control plus M, if you are using a Mac it's going to be Command plus M. Let's click it here, this is what is opening. Now, let's talk about all of this. The first part is the format. The format is by default H.264, and this is basically the most used format. Everybody use it, 90 something percent of the people use it, I use it all the time. You have different formats here, and H.264 is the most common. You have H.265 already. It came, it's new, but not everybody is using it because not all the computers are going to understand it, so let's better stick for now to H.264. But you have here MP3, MPEG, everything here you can check here you have even QuickTime and everything. But like I said, for a simple video, a normal video, H.264, let's look at here. Now in preset, you have a lot of presets here as you can see, a lot of presets. You have for Facebook, you have for 4K, HD, you have also for YouTube, basically all of them are going to be similar and they're all going to be very good. Now if you can see here, it's a medium bitrate. I'm choosing this for now because it's a simple video, this is going to give me a good quality video and a fair size of the file. If you go to high bitrate it's going to be a higher quality video, but also the size of the file is going to be bigger so you don't want to do that if you are just going to share with friends or if you are going to put it in YouTube or Facebook, you don't need to go that high. Not unless you're making a project that is for a job or something, then you can go to high bitrate. That's why I'm leaving it here in medium bitrate, so let's click it here. Now, output name and this is A Day in The Park because when we created it and we started to edit, I told you let's be organized. I was organized and I choose the name of this sequence, and it's exactly the name that I want. But we can click here to choose where is this going to be saved. When you click here, it opens, for example, here the desktop, it's already selected. If you go to desktop, you can go to A Day in The Park and it's already selected. Where I organize everything in the beginning of this course, there is where I want it, it's going to be an MP4 file, perfect, saved. Now we're almost set. We're going to go also a little bit here, but I'm going to tell you something, you can go to export already and it's going to work. It's going to export it very good, very good quality video and everything. But I'm going to show you more options here. Let's go to audio first, because audio is very easy. Audio format, the best option is AAC. Then you go to codec AAC, and then the sample rate, 48,000 hertz, that's the best audio quality medium. You can put it high, you can put it low. Remember that if you put it high, then size is going to be a little bigger, but it's okay. Let's go here, let's put it in medium, we're working with medium, everything is in medium. The bitrate is 192, you can put it even up to 320 if you want the best quality, everything is correct. Let's go to video. Because we changed the audio settings now, it went to custom, because now is a custom setting. You see, because we're changing things here. You can come here down at frame rate, file order progressive, everything is done already by the preset. Now render at maximum depth, if you leave it like this it's going to be good quality like I said. But if you click here in render at maximum depth it's going to be even better quality. Then you go down here, these are all presets, it's going to be done, this is advance, but you don't need to worry about these, this is all done by Premier Pro perfectly. I never worry about these. Bitrate encoding. What does it mean one pass and then you have the two passes? CBR is basically going to analyze your video and is going to do the passes that they need for your video. If you go to one pass, it means that the Premier Pro is going to render it once and it's going to export it. If you put two pass, it means Premier Pro is going to render at once and then it's going to come back and redo it. It's going to be a higher resolution, it's going to correct all little tweaks and mistakes that, let me tell you something, is not basically visible. But if you want perfection, you go to double pass. But it's not necessary for this video, so I stay in one pass and it's going to render it faster also. Target bitrate, you can go all the way to 30, I think it's recommended. I saw many times many people are doing it in 30. I normally do it between 30 and 40, it depends if it's 4K and it's going to be for a job I can put in even a 50, but 30 it's enough. Then the rest just leave it as it is because this is for VR, you're not doing VR. The keyframe distance, you don't need to worry about this, this is by default, Premiere Pro is perfect for these things. Then here, use maximum render quality. You want to click this, it's a maximum render quality. Did you see that because we at here, let me see. We were here in 18, I want you to see this. It was in six, I think. Look, 37 megabytes is the size of the file. But if we go higher, it goes to half a gigabyte already. It's better quality, but it's going to cost you this, is the size of the file. Let's go to 30, let's leave it there, it's the same thing. It's going to 186 megabytes, but, well, it's okay. We go back here to use maximum render quality. This is up to you, but I always market because I like the best quality. Then this is it, as simple as that. You can export already and you click "Export", and it starts to export. First is going to render, and then it's going to start exporting. It says two minutes. It's going to take two minutes and some seconds. You just wait and wait until the video is exported. Remember something, and this is very important and I didn't mention it the whole course and we're already in the end of the course. Every time you have the chance use Control S or Command S. What does it mean? Because I think you saw during the course these little square appearing here with the blue line, saving the thing. This is going to auto save in case you have a problem with the software, you just go there and you can find every five minutes, every 10 minutes it's auto saving. But I will suggest you also to do it by yourself. Control S is going to save the project. Imagine if now there is a blackout or something happened with the computer, you're going to lose everything, so just save all the time. Control S or Command S is to save. I'm going to show you what will happen. Control S, you see, save project. It's saved, so you're safe. Now what we're going to do, we're going to minimize here and I'm going to show you the video is exported. There you go, we're here, A Day in The Park, we click here and we have the video here, it's exported. Let's see how it looks. It's very nice, I like it and it's done, video is done. This is it, as simple as that. We have the video done, we edited, we had a long journey together, now the video is done. Now, I want to show you something before we finish and before we go to the next lesson, that is going to be the conclusion of the course. I just told you to do the Control S. I'm keep saying the Control or Command S, Control or Command M, and all these keywords I told you, maybe you were writing them down and everything, you can actually Google it keywords for Premier Pro and you're going to have a list that you can print and then you can use it. When I started to work with Premier Pro, I had these post-sticks next to the computer with the keywords I was using more. Then I memorize them, and then I don't need to use any post-sticks anymore. But I'm going to show you something. If you want to know all the keywords, you just have to come here. Do you see on the top you have Edit. You go to Edit, you go all the way here down and you have keyboard shortcuts. You're going to use the keyboard shortcuts. You click here, and there you go. You have all the keyboard shortcuts, you have the Pen tool is the P. Remember I was telling you mark out is O, mark in is I, you have everything here. If you have a Mac, that's going to be also nice because you're going to look for it and it's going to appear everything here. Instead of the Control it's going to be the Command and everything. Now you have here the application, you have Selection Tool is V. Remember I told you you have the track, but what is happening? What is happening here? You can come here and you can change it also. You can actually click here and erase it or change the commands, it's up to you, you can customize it to you. I wanted to show you this before we go. I don't want to customize anything because I got used to already all the keywords here, so I'm not going to change anything. I'm just going to close it. I wanted to show you that before we go, so that's it.
16. A Day in The Park: Hello.
17. Conclusion and Project: You made it and I'm really happy for that. So now it's time to start creating. For the project of this course, I want you to go out with your camera and film something. Could be in a park, in the city, wherever you want. Just film something, then start editing. Use everything you learned in this course and then post it in the project section. You can even post it in YouTube and then just share the link with us in the project below. I promise I will give you a feedback. Now if you have any questions, don't hesitate leaving them down below in the discussion section. I promise I will try my best to answer them as fast as I can. I want to take this opportunity also to let you know that I have more courses. I have one course called YouTube Master Class, and you can learn how to create your channel from scratch. I will be posting more and more courses, so if you follow me, you'll be notified by Skillshare every time I post a new course. If you enjoy this course, don't forget to rate this course because it would help me a lot to create more and more content for you. Until next time.
