1. Welcome! Start here: Welcome to Premiere Pro and After Effects
Productivity course. As you may right
know, my name is Lad, and I'm so grateful that
you've chosen me to be your instructor on this
exciting journey ahead. This course has the ability
to change your life. Time is your most
valuable asset, yet so much of it gets wasted
on manual repetitive tasks. This course is designed
to change that. With techniques used
in this course, you can save up to 10 hours
per week with automation, custom shortcuts, and
smarter workflows. I cannot stress enough. Imagine saving 10 hours per week and avoiding boring manual work. Instead, you'll
have more time to focus on creativity
and high impact work. And before we get started,
just a few things. First, the score is
laid out to be as complete and chronological
as possible. We'll be covering
presets, shortcuts, templates, organization, artificial intelligence,
and so much more. Also keep in mind, you can judge the speed and the
quality of each video in the setting cycle in the
bottom right corner of your screen in case you want to increase or decrease the
speed of each video. Have any questions, be sure to leave those in the
Q&A section below. Finally, I want to
ask you to leave you honest feedback about the course once you have a feel
for the material. Reviews are lifeblood of
the course and will help future students in deciding what's the best course for them. So if you find the
material valuable, please take 60 seconds to
leave you honest feedback. I hope you're excited.
Without further ado, let's get to the first video.
2. Keyboard Shortcuts in Premiere Pro & After Effects: The Fastest Way to Edit: In this video, we can
talk about shortcuts, shortcuts both in Premiere
Pro and in after effects. First of all, in order
to get to shortcuts, you need to come
to the top here, and then you have
keyboard shortcuts. On Windows, I believe it's Premiere Pro preferences and
then keyboard shortcuts. And you can see that this is the shortcut that we
have to open shortcuts. So I have to press
Option Command K. This is our
keyboard shortcut. And you can see that on PC, it's Control Alt K. Try it out. Doesn't work, come to Premiere Pro preferences
keyboard shortcuts. Okay, so let's open
Keyboard shortcuts. And then we'll do the
same in after effects. But here we need to press
Option Command and well, I'm not sure what
this is called. We need to press this thing. I'm not sure what it's called,
but you get the D. Okay. So we have shortcuts here.
And we have shortcuts here. I created a lot of custom
shortcuts for myself. Some of the shortcuts that are created by Premiere Pro
automatically, it's great. But some of them, I feel
like can be a lot better. So for example, I'm not sure what was here originally,
but for one, two, and three, I have shuttle left, shuttle stop, shuttle right, then I have four Q W and E, ripple trim, at edit
and ripple trim. And I can give you
a quick example. If I add a video, right now, let's add
some sort of song here. It doesn't really matter. So with these shortcuts, if I press on three, it
will start playing. If I press on two,
it will pause. If I press on one,
as you can see, it will go backwards because the playhead is going backwards. If I press on W, it
will make a cut. So I'm just pressing Ws, it's making a lot of cuts. If I press on E, it will cut everything
to the right of a playhead until the
end of the clip. So like this. If I want to cut it here, I press on E, and you
can see that this clip, it's moving to left as well. So there's no sort
of space like this. It moves automatically
to the left. So it works both ways. If I press on Q, it will
cut everything to the left, and then everything will
move to the left as well. It saves a ton of time. Other shortcuts I have
is I have colors. Let's open shortcuts again. So as you can see, for Command one, I
have purple color. For Command two, I
have mango color. And then for command and
then this key, I have Iris. I have three different colors. And it is to make sure I can see things in the
timeline better. Things are more organized. Instead of it being one color, I know that specific
things or specific color, I can market very quickly
instead of right clicking, labeling it, and then
going to mango, right? I can just press
Command two, sorry, select Command two, Command one, or Command, and then
the weird icon. So one, two, three,
one, two, three. You can see changing colors. Four, Command three and
four have is in and is out. You know that when
you do stuff in the Effects Control panel
and let's say you do scale, and we'll put this one to 120. By the way, let me show
you one more shortcut. For four and five, I have select previous keyframe and then select next keyframe. And then when I'm here, I can just press on
four and five and move between these keyframes
instead of having to, you know, go like this
and trying to find the exact point or pressing
shift and finding, I can just press four and five. And then I can press
Command three. Command four, and it makes
and becomes interpolation. So it basically is in and out. And now it's a smooth zoom
instead of it being abrupt. This one looks weird. It's
not easing in or easing out. So I can just select
this keyframe. I can select this
keyframe is in, is out. And the shortcut I have
for this is Command three. So keyframe, temporal
interpolation is out. This is for three.
And then for four, the same thing but is in. Then I just press Command
three and Command four. And the way you search for
these is you just keyframe, temporal, plural,
yes, this is the one. So I have a shortcut here. You can just click on
something like a new shortcut, then press Command six. You can see I added Command six and it was added
here if I delete it. I press in command, it
disappears here as well. Okay, so we'll cancel that. You will see that when
you open premiere, it looks something like
something like this. And I absolutely hate
the way it looks. I love it when it's
like this, and I have a shortcut foot it. I don't like when the files
on timeline are huge. I like when it's small. I
can see the whole timeline. I can, like, zoom out. And by the way, the way you
can zoom out is by pressing Option and sliding
with your mouse. Instead of doing it like this, you can just slide with your
mouse, by pressing option. And if you press command, you can go up and down
with this one. I can go up and then press
command and go down. Talk about the
timeline, press on shift to make it
big or super small. And then by pressing
option or command, we can make it bigger and
bigger and a bit bigger. So we press Option plus Command plus that
makes it bigger. If we press option
minus option and command minus option minus command minus, makes it smaller. And then once we are satisfied
with the way it looks, and we can also select
this press on option, arrow keys up and down to make sure that other
tracks are selected as well. You can see it's kind of in
different size right now. So I just press on
Shift plus Shift minus, and now Command
plus Option plus. This is the way we
wanted to look. Come here, save preset,
give it a name. You can assign a keyboard
shortcut right away, or not, it doesn't matter. Once you save that, you will
have your shortcut here. As you can see, I have
three different shortcuts. Press on manage preset. These are my presets, and then here I can
give a shortcut. So I have one, two, and three. And then in order to
assign a specific letter, I come to shortcut I
search for track height. Yes. Track height, preset. And then I have one,
two, and three. And I just have specific
keyboard shortcuts. So I have K, J, and
H. And so for K, this is what we have
right now for J, it's the audio, and then
for H is the video. So instead of me having
to move things like that, if I want to look down, I can just press on K, J or And as you can see, it's like it saves so much time. It's unbelievable
just for shortcuts. Another shortcut I
use is option A, and I believe it was a
different one in the beginning. But option A. So it's replaced with
after effects composition. Instead of clicking here, replacing it with after
effect composition, I could just press
Select, press Option A. Boom. I opened it
in after effects. It's asking me to
save this project, and, I mean, it's unbelievable. It says that there is an error because I pressed on cancel. If I didn't press on cancel, I saved it, everything
would work fine. Other shortcuts I have is
press if I press Option one, it will switch between
different folders here. So let's say I have a
folder or have a bin, I'll put this stuff
in the folder. I'll have something else open. So let's say I come here, but I want to go into
the project folder. So I press on option one, it is this shortcut.
It's called project. So it's this one. You can just search for
the same one, put it in. When you have more stuff open, let's say you have this folder. Well, you have a lot
of folders here, and you have to click
here and search for it. I absolutely hate that. So just press on option one and switches between different folders,
as you can see. You can also close panel so that it doesn't
take space here. Steel is saved, like, within the folder, it's just you don't have
a lot of mass there. If I press Option two, it
opens the effects panel. This saves, once again,
so much freaking time. Option two, this is the effects. Let's search for effects. It's this one window effects. Then for number three, option
three, I have properties. So if I select this one, it's
these kind of properties. Really useful when you want
to kind of set the size. So let's say we
have not at zero, but something like this, and I want to make sure
it's full size. So I just press Option
three, put it here, or if I want to crop it like at the top,
something like that. Then for option four, I have effect controls panel. So I can quickly switch
between these two instead of going with the mouse and
searching, you know, like that. That just a couple of
shortcuts saves a lot of time. Properties that should
be in the window, yes, as you can
see, option three. Then we have Fex
controls. Option four. Then for option
five, I have text. It's this one option five. And then for option six, what else do I have
graphic templates? This is, I ddted
this one yesterday. Yes, Window graphic templates. So whenever I press
on option five, it opens the text panel, and if there was some text, I would be able to
search for text. If there was a text, I'd
be able to add captions, or I can search for specific
words that I'm saying, and we would go
into a transcript and we would search for
specific words here. So let's say we have
a 1 hour long video, and we need a specific phrase, we don't know where
it's located. So we can just search for here, then we can create
captions as well. If I press Option six, we graphic templates, and I'll show you how to do
these a little bit later. Also, you know, we can zoom
into something like this. And if I press Option F, it will reset it back to normal. Instead of pressing
here, we can just press Option F. It zooms back. We can also press here
and press on Command R. It will give us these guys to make sure things are in the middle or in
specific position, but we have to press
here every time. So if we're here and press
Command R, it doesn't work. Other shortcuts are
Command R when we're here. I controls the speed. So instead of pressing here, searching for speed
and duration, we can just press Command
R, set it to 100. That's it. For loudness, we can press G, and
it's audio again. Once again, instead of coming here and searching
for audio again, we can just press
Command G. Sorry, just G. You'll probably
know about Command Z or Control Z or Command
Shift Z or Control Shift Z. So let's say I got
it to the right, press Command Z or if I'm going to doing a press command shift. Once you have these shortcuts
and you learn them, I can guarantee it will
save you at least I mean, if you work 40 hours a week, it will save you
at least 5 hours a week, maybe even more, maybe even 10 hours
a week because each movement you cut not just
in half in terms of time, you cut it significantly. Cut it like three or four
times in terms of time. Now, let's go back
to after effects. In after effects, once again, if you open shortcuts,
there we go. There's one really big
shortcut that I use. For after effects,
I really recommend you downloading this
plugin. It's next level. It was so much time. Once again, for both
Windows and Apple users. Okay, I'll create
new composition. It doesn't matter what it is. I'll put some text
here, and I can press Command Enter to stop typing in. Let's say I put things in middle or by the way,
it doesn't matter. And then I select
whatever I want. One specific file or potentially
even a couple of files. I'm not sure if we can
do it with a couple of files, but we'll try it out. So I'll press Control
Command space, and something appears here. And here, I can
search for effects. Instead of coming here
and searching for all the different effects or
searching for effects here, I can come here and search
for a typewriter effect. And then I can just
press on Enter, and it will work and press on you to make sure we open
whatever animation we have, and we have a typewriter effect. When I learned about this,
it, it blew my mind. Another shortcut I often
use is option W. Actually, it's Command D to
copy something. So let's see if we do we cannot do this plug in for
two selected options. It's only one at a time,
but still really good. So Command D to copy, and then we have option W and
it opens a Roto Brush tool. Then I can just double
click on something and I can roto Brush it because we don't have
anything to roto Brush. You know, it doesn't
work right now. I can press it once or you can press it twice, and you
can see it changes. So option W, option W, and now we have the
refine edge tool. The refined edge is
usually used for hair. Then obviously, V for the selection tool,
in order to cut, I press Shift Command D, and it makes a cut. I can press on T
to open opacity, S P R A, and using it's one at a time. If I want lots of different options to
appear on the screen, I have to press shift as well. So let's say we have
anchor point, shift, S, P and R. And instead of opening it here
and opening the transform, we can just press
whatever we need here. Saves a ton of time. And then, let's say we are finished here and
want to go to file, export at render Q, I can just press this shortcut, which is option E for me. So I press option E and done. Instead of having to go there and pressing here
every single time, add to render queue. You just search
for this one, and you add it to the render queue. Also, like in Premiere Pro, when you come to exports, you have your different presets
here, exporting presets. You can also by the way, if you don't know how to
do this in Premiere Pro, create your own
preset, you know, change a couple of things here, and then save preset, give it a name, and you'll
have it in your preset. Uh, here in exporting. The same we can do
for after effects. And to be honest,
the best that I found works is this preset, high quality with high
quality with Alpha. Usually, it's not
selected for you. You want to make sure you
select it from this list here, and then press on make template. And it will be your
template from now on. What this does is when
something is transparent, for example, like this
one, this is transparent. Whenever I export it, it will have a
transparent background. But whenever something
has background, it will export something
with the background. Let's say if we search for just high quality and you have something with
transparent background, it's not going to
be transparent. It will have a
black background if you use high quality here. But if you use high
quality with Alpha, it will have a
transparent background. Instead of having to
switch it every time, it saves a ton of time. Obviously, I also have premiere
composer installed here. I have it installed in
Premiere Pro as well. Extensions, premiere composer. I have Motion Doc as well.
Don't really use Motion Dog, but premiere composer
is really good. You can search for it
online, Premiere comp Poser. It's this one Mr. Horse. Downloaded and sold. Straightforward. And something I probably should have mentioned
in the very beginning. But obviously, you
can move things around in both Premiere
Pro and after effects. You can move this panel around. You can switch between
different workspaces. You can customize
your workspaces in Premiere Pro as well. You can add different
sorts of work spaces here. You can come to Window and then add all sorts
of stuff here. So instead of having to go
to different workspace, like an audio workspace, instead of having to go here, I can just be in the vertical
one or in the editing one. This is where I spend
most of my time. I can just come to ssential
sound and click on here, and it's literally
exactly the same as having the audio
workspace open. I know that this one
has been a bit intense. If you have any
questions, be sure to leave those in the
Q&A section below, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
3. Using Presets for Speed & Consistency in Premiere Pro & After Effects: Welcome. In this video, we
can talk about presets. Just like with all
the other tips, you'll save a lot of
time using presets, and presets is what you
find in the effects folder. Presets are what you find
in the effects folder. If you open this folder, you have all your presets here. I have some of the older
presets that I don't use, and I have some of the new ones. So let me give you
an explanation. First of all, how can
you save presets? Let's say you have
your clip, you go to the Effects Control panel, you have your scale to 130, and you want to make sure that
this is saved as a preset. So you right click Save Preset, give it a name,
we'll call it 130. It appears here. So now
we can reset the motion, and actually, we can
just delete everything. And now, whenever we apply this preset by dragging it here, you'll see that we have this preset here and
you have the name here. You can save a number
of effects together and create a bigger preset in a way. So let's say we
use lumetri color we drag it in. We
make this video. Gray, and we'll use what
else? Transform effect. We'll use this one,
we'll drag it in, we'll increase this queue. So now we can select the transform effect and we can select the
lumetric color. I select two of them
with the command. Right click Save Preset. We'll call it the same.
Now, let's call it 150. So now we have 150 here. And now I can delete
the transform. I can delete the lumetri color. And then whenever I drag
150, we have this effect. And by the way, it
also works with audio. I have an audio preset here, which looks this icon looks slightly different
from the other ones. It's called Lower
music for voice. So let's say I have
parametric equalizer. I drag it in. I do
some adjustments here. I want to save it as a
preset, give it a name. It will be saved here as well. Now let's talk about
more specific cases. First of all, I'll give
you a better example. We'll have a color mat
with a white background. We'll just drag it in, increase it in size. We'll create a couple of shapes just for you to see what's
happening on the screen. Okay, we have
something like this. Now we'll just make it big. Actually, we don't
need it that big, so we can come here. Now, let's create an
adjustment layer. And drag it in like this. Now, I forgot to
the effects panel, I have es in and Es out. It's just something I called, but actually it's just
kind of zoom in 220 and to the scale of 120 and
Zoom out to scale of 120. So let's see. Okay. You can see it's a
very smooth Zoom. And now, if I use another
adjustment layer, put it here, and I
use Zoom out, is out. Sorry. Very cool. By the way, if you want to have a very
smooth zoom in and zoom out, you need to open kind of
the scale or the position, whatever key frames
you have into open this thing
here, this triangle, and then click on
one of them and then do this adjustment
in the beginning, it looks something like
something like this, and you need to
make it more sort of the shape needs to be like this instead
of being like this. So smooth in the beginning. Okay. How on Earth do
you create this one? So if you go to transform
and first of all, we'll add an adjustment layer. We'll go at the
transform effect. We come here, then we
increase the scale. We put two keyframes,
sometime passes 120. We use Command
three, Command four, toes in Es out, then we use this thing here. As you can see, it's smooth. Now we save it as a preset, boom, and that's done. One very important thing about presets is that
let's say this clip, as you can see here,
it's 5 seconds long. If I save a preset
and I apply it to a clip that is twice as long, the effect is going to
take twice as long, so it's going to
be stretched out. I'll give you an example. So we'll have an
adjustment layer, but this one will
make it 10 seconds. So put this one to zero
and this one to ten. So it's ten. Sanks long, and we will apply the
same is in effect. And you can see it
is a lot slower. You just want to
make sure that you know that when you do it, I know there is a way to make sure that it doesn't
stretch out like that. However, I was not
able to find that out. If I do find that
out, there will be an update in the videos. Now, we have es in eso. We have a light
sweep text effect. So let's say I have
some text here, I will make sure it
is bold. It is black. Something like that,
doesn't really matter. So whenever I apply
this light sweep text, you'll see that we have
this light sweep happening. I have certain effects
for my own stuff, then we have motion preset. Actually, no, position
in position out. So let's say we want to
position in these graphics. So I will apply
position in left. Actually, no, we need to make it 5 seconds long because
remember the explanation. So we'll make it 5 seconds
long and position in left. Actually, we can delete
these adjustment layers. And stuff is appearing
on the screen. The same I have
for position out, position in bottom,
position and left. These are just the most
often ones I used. You can say I don't have
the position out bottom, but it's quite easy
to create one. It will be easier to
do with the color mat. So I'll copy the color mat. I'll make sure it is 5 seconds. Okay, it's 5 seconds long. We will add an adjustment layer, sorry, the transformer
fact here. We put the position in and then this is the final
keyframe that we want to have. And the reason why
we are doing this is because it's a bit
hard to explain, but I'll try to explain. So we move it out of the frame, make sure it's
fully out of frame, and then it comes into frame. Is in is out. We can click this button, put it to 180 or
the maximum of 360, and you will see that we have
this sort of motion blur. If I put this one to zero, there's no going to
there's no motion blur and 100 360, a lot of motion blur. It's just the effect
that you can create. Once again, then
you click on Save. If we were to animate these guys and create a
preset for these guys, you want to make sure
that you have your Well, once again, we'll
apply a defect. You cannot see the
whole sort of frame around them because if I select the vector
motion, you can see, and you want to make
sure that this end goes beyond the edge
of the sequence, because let's say the
triangle goes away, but it's not the whole sort
of sequence that went away. If it's not the whole sequence, then let's say in the future, you have a graphic around here. Like around here. But because you were creating this preset based on the
triangle that's a bit to left, you will have your triangles
start to appear from here. It's going to be a
little bit weird. And I know it's a
bit hard to explain. Once again, if you
have any questions, be sure to leave those below. It's way easier to create
this position in and position out key frames with a color mat or just something
that takes the whole frame. Let's go back to effect. Some of the other really, really useful effects
is these are, by the way, these
are not my presets. These are by IAC. Actually, I might be
mispronouncing his name, but these are really,
really great. We'll add an adjustment layer, and let's say I want
to add these presets. It's like bounce zoom in, then I really like these
movements like three D, works really well
with screenshots. So actually, let's take a
screenshot of this screen. And we'll just add it in. So here's our screenshot. We'll make sure we can see it. Now if we apply this effect, you'll see what it does. Really kind of cool zoom in to show what's happening
in the screen. The way you can add this is by the way, let's take a look. It's basic three D
and transform effect. You just animate these two
and these two, and that's it. You play around with these
pretty simple to do. Then you can create a lot of different presets
like these here. Then you'll see that I
have Mac screenshots and Mac video because I take a lot of screenshots
from the web. Let's come here and take a look. Let's say I take a
screenshot and I take a screenshot of another
platform, something like this. And you'll see the
difference is that here, I had no tabs and put the
Vato I have two tabs. So I'll take both of
them. I'll put them here. I'll make sure they
fit the screen. Both fit the screen. And you can see that
for this platform, we have nothing at the top. And for Avatu we have our
links sort of at the top here. You will see that the
screenshot is not perfect. You can see kind of the top,
you can see the bottom, and I want to make sure that
these parts are not visible. So when I was creating
these presets is I would scale it down to
something like this, maybe go be down. And I want to make sure that the links at the top
are not visible. And if I apply the same
motion to this actually, it did work out because there's this because there's
this ad right now. But if the ad, let's say we want to capture
the ad in full essence. Okay, so we copy the motion,
we apply it to this one. But you can see we have
our links at the top. So we have two
different screenshots. We have Maxscreenshot, one, which is the one on the left. So if I delete this, actually, if I just reset, apply Max screenshot, this
is what we have. If I do the same here,
but Max screenshot two, okay, we need to, yes. 1920 by 1080. I need to rescale everything. Now you see that things
are absolutely perfect. There are no links at the top. So just something
you have to do. Then whenever we're
talking about MAC video, it's just because it records
any different resolution, I just have a different
preset for that. Then I also have slow zoom ins. So if we add an adjustment
layer, once again, the adjustment layer is
5 seconds to make sure that we know exactly what
kind of preset we're using. So you can say I have 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds,
and I have Zoom out. So these are zoomins these are
zooming. This is Zoom out. If I apply this zooming effect, you'll see that, okay, what is going on? Oh, the adjustment
layer is smaller. So we need to delete the
adjustment layer and create another adjustment layer that is the size
of our sequence. And if I go to the effects, slow zooming, you'll see that
we're zooming in slowly. However, if I use the same adjustment layer and I apply the one for 15 seconds, you'll see it will
zoom in a lot faster. So what we had before, slow zooming, really cool. And after too much of a zooming. So the way you save these presets is you
create jasmlayer, add a transform effect, and you make sure that
this is 10 seconds long or 15 seconds,
whatever works for you. And now, if you do any kind of adjustment and
you save it as a preset, the next time you add
it to a jam layer that is 10 seconds long,
Everything will work fine. The other important thing about presets is making sure
things are organized, just like with your files, and your folders,
the same thing here. So you want to make sure
you create folders. You have, for example,
position in out. The way you can create
folders is just right click New Preset bin
and give it a name. Let me show you New preset bin. Click here. Click
on this folder, I will create a bin here. If I click on any of the folders and I
create a preset bin, it will create a preset
bin inside of it. So that's not something I need. It doesn't matter to me what
kind of names you give. Just make sure you can find
what you're looking for. Now, in terms of shortcuts, it's very similar in after
effects to Premiere Pro. You select the file
that you want. You go to the Effects Controls. You either search
something for here or let's say we have a
wrench selector here, actually, animator, and
then we can click on it. You can come to
effects and presets, and then we can save animation
preset, give it a name. And you will have it
in animation preset, user preset, you
will have it here. As you can see, I have
a couple of presets. I don't really use presets and after effects that much
because first of all, usually I create something from scratch, and then
the second thing, they have so many
great effects here that I don't need
to create kind of my own effects, custom effects. So I just come here and that's it. That's
it for this video. If you have any questions, be
sure to leave those below, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
4. Adobe Premiere Pro Graphics Templates: How to Reuse & Customize Motion Graphics: We talk about graphic templates. Once again, we're doing this to save a lot
of time for us. And as you can see
on the screen, I have two graphic
templates at the top, and this is something I
started doing just this week, literally a couple of days ago. I had a lot of graphic
templates that I didn't use. I would create a lot of
templates and it would be the same templates for every single video
and I thought, Okay, I need to learn
this, and I did. Now I'm going to
explain this to you. You will see that I
have a rectangle stroke and I have a text highlight. And it's just something that
is used so often for me. But I would create this
every single time, especially the text highlight. It would take a couple of minutes to create
every single time. If I save 5 minutes every time I do it and I do
it almost every day. 5 minutes every day, that's like 30 minutes per week.
Really significant. Let's say we have a screenshot
of the United States. We take a screenshot
and we put it in here. We can zoom in a little bit
so that there is no me, and then there's nothing
on top or the bottom, like these lines here.
Game? Lose grade. By the way, one shortcut
that I didn't tell you about is using the L button
to make it full scale. So what do you have for
L, toggle, full screen. So search for
toggle full screen, this one is L. So whenever I press L, it
makes it full screen. So now we'll gome to
the graphic templates. This one is just a
regular rectangle. I just made sure that it
is the way I like it, and I can just resize it,
put it into position. And instead of me coming
here and, you know, creating a rectangle, right now, it has the same effects. But in the very beginning, it would be something like
gray something like that. And I would have to click here. This would be gray as well. I would put a certain color. I have to zoom in,
increase in size, make the rounded edges. So instead of doing
this every single time, I can just drag it in and it's done and
just have to resize it. Super super useful. And then the other one is
called a text highlight. So this is the one. I just resize it to
something like this, and now we have a
highlighting text. The way you can save presets here is let's
say you create, let's say you create new
one, something like this. We'll make sure it's white. Actually, let's make
it red. Why not? We need multiply. And this way, we have the sort of
transparent color. It's usually done with yellow. So let's let's make sure
let's make sure it's yellow. Something like that
for the highlight, then you would apply
a crop effect. Then you come to the
effects control. Then you animate
the crop effect. So we use the crop. So we will crop from the right. We set a keyframe
somewhere in the future. So we want to make
sure it disappears. Then we come to
the next keyframe, want to make sure it appears, but So, something like that. Oop. Perfect. And
now, what you can do? Right click Export as
Motion Graphics Template. In the project, we'll give it
a name, we'll call it test. We'll include the video preview and we'll save it to the
local templates folder. Okay, I'm not sure what's
happening with my computer. It's lagging significantly,
so I will just cancel, but you get the idea, and then you will just
have it saved here. I didn't have a problem
with this before. I'm not sure what
exactly is happening, but you can save it here. Let's try again to export. Yeah, something's wrong
with my computer. I literally it takes like a
second to save it usually. So you would have it here, then you just drag it in
and you have it saved. Can do a lot of
different stuff with motion graphics with
graphic templates. Whenever you do, just
save it as a preset and you'll be able to reuse
it in the future. And by the way, you can
also come to websites like IvatoGRTs Motion Ray. They have their own
templates already. The links will be in
the resource section, so you can come to something
like Invato elements. Let's search for name,
video templates. Probably something in here. So we use Premiere Pro.
We have different names. So if you have a subscription,
you can just come here, click on Download and add it to Premiere Pro and then
reuse it in the future. Or we can create
your own custom one. If you have any
questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
5. How to Save & Use After Effects MOGRTs in Adobe Premiere Pro: Welcome. In this video, we're going talk
about Mgurts and specifically Mgarts
created in after effects. We already know how to
create it in Premiere Pro, and it's sort of similar
in after effects. Maybe a bit more
confusing at times, but we'll cover everything. So I had a very specific case where this is the animation that I showed you in one
of the previous videos. Okay. And let's put it here. This is the one. And I would have to come
to after effects. By the way, this is not line, but it's easy to make it line. Anyway, I would have
to come to after effects every single time
to make this animation, and it wasted so much time so I decided to create a mogart
to use it in premier pro. And the big downside of mogart is that if you have
some crazy animation, it's going to render
it in real time, so it's going to be intensive on your computer. It's
going to slow it down. And the whole project
is going to take longer to render to go through the project
in premiere pro. But this is something
we have to deal with. If it's something
as simple as this, it doesn't really
affect the editing. So, let's create
something from scratch. We'll delete this
and we'll create new composition 1920 by 1080. Okay. Here's another
shortcut for you. Shift and then this line, this line here, I'm not
sure what it's called. But if you press these two, it's going to fit the screen. So instead of me having
to come here and then pressing on
the up here fit, I can just command that line,
and it's going to work. Let's create something very
similar to what I had there. And we'll do it like this. When we close and open it. Dashes. Let's add some dashes. Great. Let's add trim
paths to animate it. Trim paths, and Fnine And boom. Okay, we have this
school animation, although we can probably
move this where the dashes, something like this
so that there's no sort of two dashes
very close to each other. Something like this. Okay,
so let's say we want to reuse this every single
time in Premiere Pro. Actually, let's do
one more thing. Let's add, like,
one in the middle. Well sacks, both of these, put them sort of in the middle. I mean, we can put both of these in the very middle
to make things even better. Okay, great. And
now let's animate the opacity of this
one, press you here. Perfect. Now we'll go into
Window essential graphics. We need to select
which composition we want to export as a mogard. Here's kind of the
most confusing part about this and something you have to really think through. What kind of things would you want to customize in the future? Because whatever you put in this box are the only things
you'll be able to customize. So if you only put position, you will only be able to change the position and not the scale. For instance, I mean, you
can change the scale, but let's say it's
about animation, you didn't add something,
you would have to come back here and then do
this whole thing again. Let's open this. Let's say we want to change the position, so we will drag
the position here. So now, whenever I change
the position changes. If we want to link
them together, we'll just parent them, so we'll parent the circle to the one. So whenever I change
they both move. Then we'll do the scale as well. Let's do I know, let's this one says that the
key frames will be ignored. So okay, there's something
that we cannot do. However, there are some
workarounds around this. It's super technical
and super long. It took me 4 hours
to figure that out, but Chachi Pit writing
codes. A bit of a headache. You probably don't need
that. If you do need that, ask Chachi PT how to do it. It will walk you through. Just a warning. It's going
to take a lot of your time. So anyway, what else do
we want to add here? Let's say that would be it. Is there anything else
interesting we can add? Probably not. Okay. So now let's say we want to export this export
motion graphic template. Save the project, yeah. We'll save it to
the desktop, save. What we just did is we
saved the project file, and now we need to
save the mogart. So we'll browse once again, we'll give it test
name, save it. Okay. Okay. Now
that I did the job, we'll go into Premiere Pro. So now we go into
graphic templates. As you remember, we need
to add a folder first, and then within that folder, we need to put this
motion graphic template and it will work. So let's choose one of
these. I don't know. Let's choose lists, something
that I create a template. So I have this test here, and I will go into the folder
where these are located. So it's in the list,
as you can see. This is the one. I will just
drag this template here. It should probably appear. Yeah, it's loading. Whoops. What happened?
Yeah. Okay. And as you can see, this
is what we have. Can we just drag it in? Now to create sequence first sequence. Anything that works
for us right now? Keep existing settings. Okay. And you can see
this is what we have. Now, if we go into properties, you will see that we
have what we can change. We can change the position, and this is something we
asked after effects to do because one position
and one scale. And these are
exactly these ones. These are the names. If you
want to change the names, you can just click here, change
the names, and that's it. If you use something
like a text, you can add the text. Well. Yeah, so you can
add the source text. This is the name of the
quality of the property, and this is the actual text itself. I can change this one. This is text. And if we change this one, it's going to change
the text itself. So you just put the properties that you want into this folder, then everything will be
available in Premiere Pro. By the way, it should
be transparent as well because we didn't
have any background here. This is just this
is transparent. So let's try to find that out. Let's create a color mat. And put it below. Yeah, as you can see,
it's transparent, so it works really great. If you have any
questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
6. Importing Templates in Adobe Premiere Pro & Adobe After Effects: This video, I'm going to
show you how to import templates in Premiere
Pro and after effects. There's something
very interesting about Premiere Pro
and templates. For example, I have this
template that I created, and it's called transition
because it is transition. So whenever I drag it in here, import the entire project. Okay. Okay, it's going
to take some time. So first of all, let's
create a sequence, right click New
sequence from clip. By the way, there's
another course that I'm teaching fully about how to use Premiere Pro and after effects specifically
for YouTube, how to edit YouTube videos with Premiere Pro
and after effect. So anyway, we have our
transition. So let me open this. And you will see
that the sequence within this project file, it's called a nested sequence. And there are two
ways to add this. And let me show you
what it consists of. It's basically a sound effect
and two adjustment layers. And then in this very middle, here is a cut. So there are two ways we can
add this into the timeline, and it's done specifically
with this button here. Insert and override sequences as nests or individual clips. So if I press it, we're going to have
the nested sequence, and we're going to have
the transition or, you know, it doesn't
even work here. However, if I press it on this button again and then
I drag the nested sequence, it's going to drag
each individual file. I think it's so
interesting how you can add nested sequences
or just sequences, other projects
into this project, something I didn't know before and it's been super,
super useful. So let's say we had our cut here and this will be our cut. And we have this
cool transition. Actually, let's change this to something else
and you'll see. I do not have anything
else to change, so we'll just make
it black and white. So let's see. Very cool. So that's how you do
it in Premiere Pro. And then if you do
it in after effects, and after effect, we can just
double click on this area. I'm not going to click because I have some sensitive information, or we can just
simply drag and drop something one file is
missing, that's fine. Then you just open
whatever you need. This is probably,
yeah, the whole thing. And then you can once again, double click and then customize things to whatever you want.
So it's fairly simple. To be honest, I really enjoy
the way you can do this in Premiere Pro because
since I learned that, I can just drag in the NSD
this specific NSSE sequence, and it works super great. If you have any
questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
7. One Week Later: Reviewing My Editing Workflow with Templates: Been about a week since I
started using templates, and I created a
number of templates, as you can see here, so I just want to walk you
through some of them. First of all, I added arrows, and the way you do any of that, first of all, we
need a sequence. So I'll come here, press here. Sequence 1080, 24 peaks, 24 frames second works. Press okay. Now, whenever I drag anything here, it will appear. So as you can see, I have
an arrow. Super easy to do. You basically need
to create let me select this,
integrate a graphic. As you can see here,
it says graphic. I'm not sure how to create it just the graphic
file without a file. You'll see what I mean. So
we need to create a graphic. I need to select it like
that and delete it. And I need to be empty. And then I can come
here, press on file, add an arrow, just search from a file, and you will have it. And then you save it. Let's say I want to add a check mark. I import it. There you go. Now it is imported as a graphic, and now I just can come here, press on Export, save it. Instead of having to add
it every single time, I can just press on graphic templates and add it from here. So that's what I
did with arrows. Then I did the same
thing, you know, with specific text like that, where it's animated,
super great. So you just create an animation, then export, save it. Super. Then I added
another arrow. I just added, like, a white chado so
that you can see it because the arrow is black, because if we add a color
mat, make it white. Oops, it was added
here, but it's okay. If I add it like this, you can see it's a black arrow. By the way, you can
also add a video. So this arrow was
initially a video. I added this graphic template, saved it, and it
works perfectly. And then I also did
the same thing with a lot of different logos because
I use logos quite often. And when you download logos from the Internet, they're
different sizes. And, you know, to keep them the same size in the same position, I just created one, the KchaGPT. You'll see it appears,
it's animated. And then the way I would
go about this is selected. I would just add a
file, import it here. I made sure it's the same size. So I would click on one of them. Let's say we had two chat GPTs. I would select one of them, make sure they are the same size. I would delete the previous one, and I would save the new one. So that's what I did. Then I also added a couple of other stuff here's
the screenshot, which actually saves
also a lot of time. And the best thing
about this, very, very, very best thing about this is that you don't have to keep
these files on your computer. Once you save it, is
a graphic template. You can delete it from your computer and
forget about this because I'm not even sure where the screenshot is located. And I have another one,
which I cannot show you. It's this one here, but it's quite sensitive information
there, I believe. I also deleted these files. You don't have to keep
it on your computer. The way you create
these folders, you will see that your
local template folder, this will be the one forever. You might have other folders
you can just right click and click on remove or
reveal in fider as well. So this is the original one that you have. Let me close this. This is what you have
in Premiere Pro, but you don't have to use it. You can just create a
folder on your computer, and this is something
that I did. So I created a folder, motion graphics,
Premiere Pro PR. So these are circle icons, and you will see
that I have it here. In order to add a new
folder, you just click here. Yeah, add additional folder. You click here, search in your
computer, find the folder. It will be empty,
and that's okay, because whenever you save export as a motion
graphic template, you can create a destination. As you can see here,
destination says overlay, we'll take a look when it loads. Yes. So we have a couple
of different ones. You can also local drive, browse and then search.
Then it will be saved. So as simple as that. You can see this is
what I did in a week. Imagine what I'll have, like in a month or potentially
even more time. It's really like this thing alone will save me so much
time. It's unbelievable. And one more thing about folders is about you
can select which folders circle icons,
local templates. By the way, I should
probably move this one, the key search to overlay because that's going
to be an overlay. Anyway, this is
super, super useful. I think Adobe will update it to make things a bit
easier in the future, because right now it's pretty
straightforward to use. It's just not super convenient. So this thing alone, literally, this thing alone, if
you do it for a month, it will save you
hours and hours, potentially even this thing alone will save you
10 hours per week, because it's insane
how good it is. So, if you have any questions, be sure to leave those
in acuuna section below, but other than that, I will
see you in the next video.
8. Congratulations!: Congratulations. If
you're watching this, it means you've made it halfway through the

I'm doing well, as well as help hundreds of future students in deciding what's the best course for them. So we would seriously
appreciate it. So go ahead and do that now. Thank you for your support, and I'll see you in the next video.
9. Organizing Files Like a Pro – Folder Structures, Naming & Emojis: Welcome. In this video, we're going to talk
about file organization. It's important for a
couple of reasons. The biggest reason is
your own headache. When you don't know
where files are located, it takes a lot of brain energy to remember than to find it, and it's not the most
convenient thing when it comes to editing. Secondly, if you rename
a file or folder and it was in your project in Premiere
Pro or after effect, it will tell you that
the file is lost, and you will see the red screen of Premiere Pro
and after effect. And if you have
things organized, it will be a lot easier
for you to find these. Take a look. First of all, it's really important to
name the folders. As you can see on the screen, I have a folder with screenshots, for editing, and for editing, I have a lot of
different folders, then I have folders within
folders within folders, and everything is
named just to make sure that I don't have
to spend a lot of time. And something we'll
do in future videos is create shortcuts to these folders or we will
search for these folders. Instead of going to the
folders and, you know, doing with the arrows or
doing it with your mouse, you'll be able to just search
for the folder and find it. So naming the folders
is extremely important. Name it something
that works for you. It doesn't matter what you
name it as long as you can remember it. That's
the most important thing. Just to make sure
that everything is organized for you because
you'll be working with that. But one thing I recommend
you do is to add OGs. For example, the screen
shots folder has a camera. For editing, I have tools. And then for safe zones, it's just kind of
different zones for different social media. So I just have kind of a rectangle because
that represents the best. Then I have the
checkmark and the X. And you can see,
instead of kind of having what I have
here at the bottom, this is the stub
that I rarely use. So I just didn't come
to name these files. But it's way easier
to look here. At the checkmark and at the X, then to search through loads
of text here, arrows, music. So you can see that every
Emoji represents a ring thing. If you don't know
what emojis exist, first of all, you can
come to this website. It's called ImogiPD. And you can search
for different emojis here, book, for instance. Then you just click on a book. You copy it and
then you enter it. If you're a Windows user, you can press
Windows plus period. And the same on Mac, you can press Control
Command space, so it will be like this. This window will pop up and you can search for different
stuff like money, and then just enter it here. And if you're still having trouble coming up
with the Mojis, you can just ask ChaGPT. Give me an A Moji
that represents, let's say, the word background. Okay, frame, scenery,
computer. It's okay. It doesn't necessarily
have to be like exactly that thing because
not all the mojes exist, but you can search for let's see what else
we can add here. Icons. Okay. So we can just copy this text that represents
the word icon. Mm hmm. Yeah, I'd use
something like this or like a label
or great symbols. Let's ask it for more. Mm. I'd use something
something like this. Masks, mature stars. Maybe it doesn't have to be
an exact representation. It just has to remind
you of that thing. And also, I'll give
you an example of real project youth project for
example, long firm videos. We have the name of the client, then I have long firm videos. The orange circle represents that the videos in the process, and then the check mark
literally like a check mark. Um, like this checkmark would
be when the video is done. You can see that we
have after effects. We have different after effects projects working on a video, and then we have downloads. Downloads are just things that I downloaded
from the Internet, like roles. Download
two and three. These are different versions. So when we work in video, there's a V one. And that's just downloads.
Then we have a V two. So this would be Downloads
two or downloads V two. Let me just show you that I
have exports as well here. So we have V 1v2v3, and things are organized. And now let's go
back to downloads. The reason I have
different downloads is because when I
work on any project, I download things
from the Internet, I have it in the
Downloads folder, and in the screenshots folder
because I take screenshots, then we download a
lot of extra stuff. Whenever I finish
with the video, put these files into a folder to make sure things are organized so that my
downloads folder, as you can see, right
now, it's empty. So it's empty. When I'm working on five
different projects, I cannot keep all the
files in one folder. I want to make sure
things are organized. So I put them into the folder, and then whenever I open
Premiere Pro again, it will say that files
cannot be found, and I will just direct them into this specific folder where
I put all the files, and it saves a ton of time. If you have any
questions, be sure to leave those inQuun
section below, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
10. Organizing Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects Projects – Folders, Colors & Tags: Welcome. In this video, we can talk about file organization, but specifically project
file organization. And the reason for this
is because when you add an emoji and you basically
change the folder name, Premiere Pro loses the
pathway to that folder, and every time you put
something into a new folder, you have to search for it again. We have a couple of
different solutions. And I'll walk you through them. What I decided to do
is to create a folder. And in that folder, there's
a folder called PR, which is Premiere Pro. First of all, it's because
if I work in a project and it's been some time
or I'm working on, let's say, like ten
different projects, which is very much the
truth for me right now. I start losing access, and then I have to go into
the Premiere Pro folders. I have to search for
it every time I open Premiere Pro because
you only have like, eight or ten most
recent projects. And so this helps
me because I can just save the project file here, and it's a lot easier. And the way you
add project files into specific folders is when
you create a new project, press on new project
in the location, you select it here. Then you just press and
create and that's it. Secondly, I add a
downloads folder, and so whenever I download
something from the Internet, I just put it to this folder. And then I just have to add a pathway from Premiere
Pro to this folder. So when it says that
files are lost, they cannot be found in the same location as
they were before, I just direct them to
the Downloads folder, make sure that there are no
files that are named the same because Premiere Pro
could take either one of them, and it would not be perfect. Next thing is color
organization. And I'm going to explain this first for Mac and then I'm
going to explain for Windows. So for Mac, whenever we right click or double
click on touchpad, we have different tags. And, you can put tags here on
the left to organize files, but if we're talking specifically
about video editing, then the purple tag for myself, and it's called purple here. It means that it's
project files. So it's either the
downloads or Premiere Pro. Then the orange means
it's in the process, and the green one means
it's finished, done. So whenever I re click, you can see this one
is called finished, the orange one in process. Technically, what you
can do is you can name it something like orange
circle or check mark. But every time you give
it a different name, Premier Pro loses the pathway. So in order to market
and make things a lot easier and smoother,
that's what I started doing. Works absolutely great.
But the question is, how can you do this on Windows? Well, I don't have a Windows
in front of me right now, but I found this video, and you can see here that if we click on a folder,
we go to properties, then we go into Customize, then change icon
here in the folders. So you can change the icon, and you can, for instance, put this icon, which would
mean it's in a process, something with green
means it's done. So it doesn't matter
what exactly you use. It's just to make sure
things are organized, it's easier for you to access, and you know what is where and how to
do different things. You can also use, well, I asked TGPT you can also use something
like icon Archive, where you can download
these and probably install them into Windows. So this would probably be
really useful as well. But let's recap the
most important thing. We create a separate folder for premier projects for downloads projects,
that's number two. And then we mark each video if it's in the process
or if it's done, what I have in each
of the folders with the video files
is raw exports, downloads and after effects. So that's just something
I started doing. It works pretty great. If there's anything
better than this, I'll do an update on this video. But so far, it's been
working really well. It saves even more time for me, so give it a try. Let
me know if it works. If you have any
questions, let me know, as well, but other than that, I'll see you in the next video.
11. Video & Project Templates: Save Hours in Premiere Pro & After Effects: Welcome. In this video, we can talk about templates. And it's not something
that's saved in Premiere Pro
or after effects, but it is a whole project that you create in Premiere
Pro or after effects, and then you reuse
it in the future. Let's take a look. So let's
say we created this map, we animated it somehow, and we want to reuse
it in the future. First of all, what
you can do is you can export and you can
export it as a video. That would be perfect to go. Then in the project that
you are working on, you would just find it in
your files, drag it in here. Perfect. However, if you want to make a
change in this file, let's say you want to update it, you want to make
sure that you save the whole project
somewhere, as well. So we have our
test project here. I'll just save it
and I will close it. I will come to documents, Adobe Premiere Pro 2025. And I will search for test. You can see we have a
lot of different saves, but this is our project file. And what I would do
is I would copy it, Control D, Command D, sorry. This is the copy.
I'd put it here, and I would create
a separate folder, but I would have
this project file. I would have the files that
were used in this project, and then whenever I open it, you can see that we have
the same screenshot here. But this one is called test
Copy because we just copy. This is one way to do it.
The other way to do it is to go into the
file project manager. With the project manager,
you create the sequence, and you are saying
that you will collect the files and copy them
to a new location. You browse the location. You come to desktop, create new folder, call it test. Okay? And then you
choose this folder. Make sure that you
have selected, include the audio previews
files, include everything. Yes, collect files and copy
to new location. Perfect. We'll press okay. And now, we'll come to this test, and you will see that we have
our project file here. We have our file used. And we have our previews. We have other previews. But instead of collecting
things manually, you can just come here and it will collect everything
that's used in this project. I will put into one folder, and you'll just be able to
reuse it in the future. It saves like a ton of time. Especially, let's say you have a project that's 1 hour long, you use like 300 overlays, and you want to make sure that you don't have
to go manually. You just do something like this, and it saves a ton of time. And the same with after effects. You exported the video, you saved the project
file somewhere else. You can just reopen
it, do the changes, and it's good to go. If you have any
questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
12. Google Drive & Cloud Storage – Creating Shortcuts for Easy Access: This video, I want to talk
about Cloud storage solutions. Personally, I use Google Drive. My clients use Google
Drive as well, and it doesn't really matter
if you use Google Drive or if you use Dropbox
or something else. You can probably
download an app on your computer and make sure the files are
saved on your computer. For example, I have
a Google Drive here. I created a folder
called shortcuts. I can show you how to do that. Okay, so you just create new
folder, call it shortcuts. You can put Emoji once again to make sure
things are organized. And you can see
that some folders have emojis, others don't. That's because I'm
in the process of adding a lot of the stuff. I've been adding it for
the last two months. It's still not a done
process because it's not like the only thing I
do is to add emojis. I also work on other stuff, and I change things sometimes. So and then let's say your
client sends files to you. So instead of downloading
it from here, what you can do is you can press and organize at a shortcut, then go to all locations. My Drive, and then this is the shortcut folder
that I have here. So instead of coming
here, downloading it, downloading every file,
or if you want to download 100 files,
it will zip it. And then when it zips, it sometimes misses
some of the files. So in order to avoid that, you come to Google Drive, and then you just right click
make available offline, and it will download
it on your computer, and it will make sure
all the files we saved. There's little
problems sometimes when I remember I was working on a project that weigh
700 gigabytes. In that case, it did lose
a couple of folders. What I had to do is I would come back to
the original folder. I would open all the
files that were missing. And for some reason, when you
open a file, it loads here. Hopefully, that makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, please make sure to leave
comments below. And what you have
now is you have folders within folders
that are downloaded, and you can see that we have the files downloaded here,
and we can just use it. It works the same on MAC
as it does on Windows. So this is the way to use
it and make sure to use it. If you have any
questions, let me know. But other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
13. Using ChatGPT for Creative Ideas – Visual Inspiration, Movie Scene Suggestions & More: In this video, we can
talk about HATGPT. Oftentimes when I
work on a number of different projects and when
it becomes a bit intense, Mike I start losing creativity. For me, creativity is basically
coming up with ideas. When it's hard to
come up with ideas, I sometimes come to HATGPT
and ask it for ideas. And there are a number
of things I use it for. First of all, just
overall general ideas. I also ask it how to
visually represent certain things when I just
don't know how to like, how to visually show what
person is saying in the video. And last thing is movie scenes. Movie scenes is something
I started using recently. It really elevates
your video content, but in order to use it, you either have to
know a lot of movies. I used to watch a lot of movies, but you still have to remember. And instead of remembering,
you can just ask ha GPT. So let's do a
couple of examples. Give me an inspiration
for a video Ali Abdtyle. Okay, I'm not even sure what I'm looking for here,
but you can see, I asked HAGPT to give
me an inspiration, and it gives me all sorts
of different ideas. I'm using Ali Abdaal
style because I really, really enjoy his style. Super minimalistic.
Great quality. How to like NPR Ring ap. Well, you can see you can ask
DPT for all sorts of stuff. It will come up with ideas,
but you probably know that. Let's get into some
more important stuff. Let's search for how to visually show the word
tired. Interesting. Desaturated colors,
blurred focus. Give me keywords for you represents where tire.
This is really good. Because sometimes when you
search for different B roll, you need to know exactly
what you're looking for. And sometimes you
don't know, especially once again, when you're tired, and you're losing
your creativity, and you can ask things
like this in HAGPT. Probably get the idea, physical exhaustion, you know, yawning person, froping eyes. Like, this is really good. It's also an
interesting thing that you oftentimes know what
you're looking for, but you're limited
by your creativity, and you see things just one way, but there are like ten
different things you can do. And then last thing,
let me show you, there's a website called
Movie Clips. It's this one. You can search for, you know, es man for a movie has different movie
scenes, you can come here. If you like it, you
can click on download. If it's free, you can use the low quality
press and download, and you can see it's downloaded
literally in seconds. And in order to
use this website, you have to search
for certain movies, for certain characters,
for certain scenes. But it's not always
easy to do that, right? And so you just come back
to GPT and ask her me a movie scene that
represent a deal family. Actually, let's do like this. Let's copy, use this
website to find this scene. Okay, Lilo and Stitch. Well, I wouldn't say that
this is an ideal family. It's what it did. It
has the words family, so it just searched the
website and found this. You can probably
get some new ideas by watching this and, you know, use chatty put new ways, but or trip it even
gives us links. We can also give it extra
instructions, like, make sure it's movies
and not cartoons. Hangover? Yes. Okay, this link doesn't work for some reason. Not sure why it's giving
us different links, but okay, we can
search for hangover. We know there's
definitely a trip. Okay. Trip scene, trip
scene, trip scene. Lots of different trip scenes,
by the way, quick movie. I'm not sure about this one. Wild plane trains. This looks like something. Let's search for it here. Yeah. This could represent
the word trip, like a plane. This
one, definitely. Perfect. So, there you go. If you have any questions, be sure to leave those in
the QN section below, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
14. Automate Editing with Alfred – Shortcuts, Workflows & Time-Saving Hacks: Welcome. In this video, I'm going to talk about Alfred. And this is an app used
only by Mac users. However, if you're
a Windows user, here are a couple
of alternatives. So Microsoft Power Toys, flow Launcher, box,
story, keep Ana. So even if you're
a Windows user, I do recommend you
watching this video. This will be extremely powerful
for your future as well. As you already saw
on the screen, Alfred does cost a little bit, so 34 pounds or 59 pounds
with lifetime upgrades. Trust me, you'll save
so much time or earn so much more money
that this investment is like, it's nothing. I really recommend you get one. Now, let me show you
what Alfred does. First of all, this is Alfred. This is what it looks like.
And okay, look at my hands. I can press one button twice and I can open
the downloads folder. I can press another button twice and I can open the
screen shows folder. I can press another
button and I can open another folder,
another folder. And that's all but just
clicks of buttons. Instead of me having to
search for certain files, for certain folders, Alfred
can open it automatically. It is mind blowing. I can press three buttons. It will open a private
Safari browser with a specific website. Private browser. It opens
a specific website. I can just close it. By the way, the
way you can close the applications is
Command Q on Mac. And the same thing is
I can also search. Alfred is sort of like
a spotlight for Apple, but with just a
lot more features, so I can press
Command space and I can search for Argrid a place where we take
stock footage from. So I can just type art and
we'll open the whole website. Or I can press it T, and what should we search for? Miss Best. YT Miss the Best and it searches
that on YouTube. It's pretty crazy, right. So how do you do this in Alfred? First of all, we will
go into features. We'll go into websearch and you can create your own
custom websites. So these are the custom
websites that I've created, and you can click
on any of them. You can search you can
add a specific keyword. So GT for Google Drive, GM for Gmail or
GT for Translate. So if I press GT and I
search for the word camera, it will automatically
translate it. Just imagine how much time it saves of me having to go here, Google translator, typing a word here, and then pressing Enter. I can just do it from here. GT camera. So this is what you do here. It can also come into general, and this is the hot key
to activate Alfred, and then you go into
system settings, keyboard shortcuts.
We have Spotlight. Okay. So you just
disable it here and you enable Alfred and it will
do exactly the same stuff, but with a lot more. So with web searches, you come here, you add
your website, here, you add your title just to make sure that you know
what to search for, and you add your
keyboard shortcut, and then just save it. And now, whenever I search
art or cafe or N or EP or F or GMP,
you get the idea. It saves a ton of time. Now, the other one is
called clipboard history. So let's say I copy
something and instead of just copying one thing like it usually does
on Windows or Mac, it can copy a lot of
different things. And then you can open it with
Option C, Option Command C, and you can see all
the things that I've copied in the last month or so, or actually in the
last 24 hours. We have snippets here as well. So these are specific colors
that I use for my clients, and let's say, I
type in Ho five, which is the white color. This is the sort of
text for white color. So if I'm in Premiere Pro, instead of me having
to search for white color or for a specific
color, or having to go to, I don't know nodes and
then copy it from notes, pasting it in into Premiere Pro, I can just press three
buttons, and that's it. The way you do this is you add a snippet. You just click here. You add your name. This is just for
yourself, keyboard. Shortcut. Just make
sure that the keyboard shortcut that you add here
is not the one that you use, like at any time, for example, I don't use, specifically
a combination of two letters and a number. I never use it. So
I just edit it in. So it's NL one or H 01, Ho four H five. And for H five, I have H five. I have this one FFFF. You can add as many
colors as you want to here, absolutely
mind blowing. You can also create
workflows here. You can add workflows
that are already created by Alfred or
by other companies. For example, the
temporary email, TMP, temporary email,
I can press here. It enters a temporary
email and the new window, it opens the inbox
of that email. So it's just to make
sure that you don't get spam notifications
all the time for your email when you
need to register on the website to get to the
website or something similar. So you can just search for this temporary temporary
email, offer it. And here, it's here, open it, install it. Absolutely fantastic. And then you can create your
own workflows. So this would be
folders shortcuts. So these are the shortcuts
that I was using. So if a press shift, double time, it opens
the screenshot folder. If I press the Control button, it opens this folder. Blank workflow will
give its name test. Added trigger, hotkey, so you can add
different combinations. Control Command K, for instance. Sure. Then you add action, open file then you
can search for a specific folder
like this folder, for instance, save, connected. And now whenever I press
this specific combination, it will open this folder, super. I'll delete these. And one thing you
will notice is that sometimes it's impossible
to open a specific folder, or you want to have something
super specific to happen. For example, if I
press Option D, it will open the
downloads folder. So let's say if I have
something downloaded, I know this image in the
downloads folder here, instead of me having to go with the mouse down every time, I can just press Option
D, and it will open it. Option D and close it. And
for this, we'll need hATGPT. So you open Chat JPT, you ask it how to do certain thing if it's
possible to do certain thing. And then it will write you a code to do
something like this. So we'll delete the test
because we don't need it, and we'll go into
the stack download. So what I did here is
I edited a hot key. So this is the one Command D, and then I added a script. So we come to
actions, Run script, and then we choose
the one for Apple, HAGPT literally explains you
how to do certain things. Then you just save it. Actually, you press here, you delete all of the stuff, add your script, save it, then connect the
one with the two. And then whenever you press
something like option D, it will happen on the screen, which is absolutely fantastic. For example, like
I told you before, I can open a private window
with specific website, Option Command and it does it because I come to
this website because I work with clients that use
this website quite often. They talk about this website, and I use a lot of overlays
from this website, so press three buttons
and it can be here. Once again, there's something
you did with HAGPT. Safari private window. So I have Shift Command
U have run script. So it's literally the
same thing as the stack, download, run script, connect
the two, and it just works. Imagine how much time it saves. So instead of me having to
come to search for Safari, private window, and then
search for a website. Instead of me having to do this, which takes like 10 seconds. I can just press three buttons. And the same I have for
downloading YouTube videos. So I have Shift Command Y. It opens Chrome with
a YouTube downloader. This YouTube downloader doesn't work really well in
Safari or I should say, none of the YouTube downloaders
work well with Safari. It's something to do with
the file differences. So I just come here. I need to paste a video link here and it will
start downloading it. So this is Alfred. And Alfred, if you
take a look here, it has so many
more features that I don't use that have
not been explored yet. You can do Mogis. So if I search for E and Poland, it will give us a Polish flag. If I search for 15 times 60, it does calculations from the calculator up
on your device. It's absolutely crazy. And I will say this that when
I was working on Windows, which was last year, like, about eight months
ago, I didn't have this much easiness and customization on Windows
in terms of the shortcas. And I'm sure there are a lot more different
things on Windows, because Windows is usually
more customizable. It's just I never really
had easiness to explore. Windows is definitely a bit
harder than Apple than IRS. And when I switch to ORS. I became so much more
proficient with so many things, and these are some of the things that I wanted to share with you. If you have any
questions, let me know, but other than that, I'll
see you in the next video.
