1. Introduction: Hello everybody and
welcome to this course. From the get-go on
to tell you that this Premier Pro
course is not going to be a typical one
where I'm going into detail on how
different panels work, what typical shortcuts are, etc. Instead, I want
to make this like an archive where
you can watch and look up really cool
edits that you maybe learn someday
or sometime ago, but just forget how to do it. This happens to me all the time where I've did
something really cool, like a cool transition or a text edit that
look really good. But then I just forgot how to do it and then have to go to YouTube or to Google
and search it up again. Nevertheless, in
the first lecture, I'm still going to
give you introduction, at least the basic knowledge. So you can just do all the
effects that come afterwards. After that, I'm going to
show you a real cool text, video and audio edits
like transitions, where the idea is that you
just open up the lecture. You see in the first
ten seconds or 20 seconds what the
edit will look like. And then you see
how I did the edit. Since this course is meant
to be a place of return. Meaning that if you
forget something, you just can come back and watch the edit that
you would want to use. I have a request. If you see something very
cool in the cinema on a trailer and you want to
know how the Edit work, you can just comment down below. And I will simply
put up a video that shows the specific
edit with Premier Pro. Otherwise than that,
there's nothing to say. Just go down the list. What's the lectures that
you're interested in? And hopefully you
will learn something. Enjoy.
2. 1. Premiere Pro Overview: Hello everybody, welcome to the first lecture of the series. In this lecture we're going to talk about Premier Pro itself. So the interface and how you can handle all the
different windows, how to import videos, audio files, and how to put them on the
Thailand Font edit. In my opinion, this first
lecture is not enough to learn. Premier Pro is just enough to go through the edits
that I show later. So if you are really interested in learning Premier Pro itself, so all the features, all the
panels, everything it has. I'm going to recommend a different series on Skillshare. They
are very good ones. So just click on
the next test one and watch it to learn
Premier Pro itself. But for this lecture, I'm just going to give
you the essentials that you need for
the next videos. So let's start with Premier Pro. As I said, as this is
only the essentials, I'm directly going to start with how to import videos and
audio files or pictures. And this is done in
the project view on the bottom left here. Before I import anything, I tried to structure
my video series. So in this case, I
only have videos, so I'll give one
folder name video. And I have maybe audio, which I don't have, but
it could be n, etc, etc. So it's a little bit
more structured. Now, if you want to
import your video files, you can just open the windows Explorer
or the Mac Explorer. Click all of you do search,
you want to be imported, drag and drop it into the
bin that you want it to be. And as these three
or video files, I'm just going to
import them into video. The next step I'm going
to show you is optional, but I like to use it
for cinematic videos. The idea here is that
we want to match the frame rates of
all all these videos. This is optional as I said, and it will mess up
with the timings. So the length of your videos, which makes sense because let's say you have a video that has 60 frames and you play it back
and 30 frames per second, then you have two seconds
before the video is done. But now if you want to upscale
or downscale the frames, frames per second from, let's say from 30 to 20. Now, the video's duration
got to three seconds. So what you did,
you actually did a slow motion effect
on the video. So you have to be
careful if things have to be aligned and
perfectly on time, then you can not do that. But if it's a cinematic videos short and you want to
have the same frame rate. I would like to do that. So in my case, I would like to have a 25 frames per second cinematic view. And what I'm going to do with
this is I'm going to select all the video files that are
not 25 frames per second. In this case, it's just on
the spread perspective video. I'm going to
right-click on that, go to modify and go
to interpret footage. After this, I can
select and specify the frames per second that it should assume this video to be, and I would like this to be 25. And as I said, the duration got longer
instead of 16 seconds, something it got
up to 19 seconds, three seconds long video. The next thing I want to do is I want to create a new sequence. And I do this by
clicking on this little, little New Item icon there
and clicking onto sequence. I want this to be 25
frames per second. So I'm selecting this
on the Settings menu. Make sure that this
is a square pixel 1 and this is 16 by nine, so 1920 by 1080. And then give it a name. Let's give it a tutorial. Click on Okay, and this
new sequence is created. The sequence is a, as I said, the sequence is a place holder for
all your video files. So what you do is you can just drag and drop the video
file onto the sequences. A sequence has many vigilance. So if you have meant, if you have different
vigilance texts, whatever and you want them to
stack on top of the other, you can just put it on top. And the thing you
need to know is that the uppermost layer has
the highest priority. So it's always, it's always
covers up the lower ones. Okay, So this should be
enough for the timeline. Let's go to the next thing which is the menu bar down there. This is probably one of the
most needed and used ones. And so the first one
is the selection tool, which you can also get by
clicking the V button. This one is you can just
drag and drop things. You can stretch and
make them smaller. Let me show you this.
This is just for selection and clicking
and dragging stuff. The next most important thing I think is the Razor
Tool, which is C. So C and V, which are mixed
together with his razor tool, you can cut down videos into two different parts of sections. So if I click it on the
spot where I want it to be, so let me see where it cut it. I cut it here and I click again on V to get
the selection tool. Now I can maybe even
switch positions. So goes from a zoomed out. It goes from zoom
out and zoom in. The next thing I want
to show you is how you can put effects or how you can manage the
effects on the video. To see that you just click
on the video itself. And then on the top left, you will see that every video in the beginning already
has these two effects, which is called
motion and opacity. And with motion you
can, as it says, control the motion, so rare, the position of the video
is what the scaling is. If you want to zoom in
or you want to zoom out. You can do this by dragging
and dropping the number. You can also just put
in 5050 per cent. So we've just got 50% smaller. If you want to go back
to the beginning, you can just click on
this Reset button. You can do a lot of things here. We will use this later
for other effects. So let me show you how to put different effect on a video. On the bottom left, there is this project view and there you have this effects control. And if you go into effect, there are a lot of effects. And we go through
the videos and show you the effects that
you will need for the different video types. But in this case I'm just
going to put a blur. It goes from blur on this. So I select Video
Effects Blur and Sharpen gaussian blur and drag and
drop it onto the video. Now we have this new effect, which is called Gaussian
blur in the effects control. And we can adjust the blurriness of this video by
just, let's say 30. And hypothetic per
cent more blurry view. For Gaussian blur itself, I would always
recommend to repeat edge pixels because then you don't have this
black sharp endings and you just repeat them. The next thing I want to show
you is what keyframes are, how to insert them in,
but you can do with them. And for this, I've put one
video on top of the other. So if I toggle the view
and the first one you can see the secondary one under it. And what I want to do with
the upper one is I wanted to make it smaller and go into
the bottom right corner. And this feature is done
by using keyframes. So what I do is I select
this upper video, go to the beginning
of this video, and click on these two icons, which toggle the animation. Now you have this two keyframes at that position that
your cursor was in. I want to go now ten
frames into the video. And they can do this
by holding Shift and clicking to the right two times. And now I am ten
frames into the video. This is just so I can
use the transition from the whole picture into the smaller right bottom corner. You will see it in a second. Here I insert another
two keyframes. And the idea is now that on
the end of this keyframe, I want it to have a three scale, 30% scale and put it in the
position of, of bottom-right. So let me do this like this. And you can see how
the picture moved from the center to the bottom right. And if I now go back
on the timeline, we can see actually transition. You can see how it goes from full-scale centered to
three per cent scale, bottom right, this
is the movement. So if I just click Enter, you can see how this moves
to the bottom right. There's this idea of keyframes. So you insert keyframes, you change some stuff in the next keyframe
and what it does, it does the transition from the last keyframe to the
most recent keyframe. And this is the
idea of difference. So what I can do now
is I can go to the, maybe the last frame
to other keyframes. Your back ten frames, insert another two keyframes. And as I didn't change anything, it will just stay
the same from this to these two keyframes to
the second last keyframes. And now I want to change the last key-frame
to be normal again. So what we have is we have this transition at
the beginning of that goes to the button right. Then we have the transition that goes from the button right
to the centered. Again. In this case, this clip is
longer than the other one. And if I don't
want to have this, I can just click on the
end of the video and V1 make it the same
length as the V2. And now the transition
should look better, so we can just see
it now and the end. So this was the first lecture. I know it was quite fast, but as I said introduction, this is only the essentials, so you can know how to use all these features
in the next videos. If you want a proper
and good course, you can just check other
Skillshare courses and they are really, really good and amazing. So just check them out and kill you. And Premier Pro that. I hope you liked it. And see you on the next one.
3. 2. Simple Text Overlay: Hello everybody and welcome
to the second lecture. Today I'm going to
show you how you can turn a video with texts from this to something like this. Okay, so let's start with this simple but
effective text effect. First of all, we have
to import our video. I've used this old bridges as
I showed in the beginning. Then we have to
create the sequence, but you can just do
that by clicking and dragging and dropping
it into the timeline. And now we have this bridge. To add text. You just click on this
little t down there. Click T on your keyboard. Click where you want
the text to be. Read. For example, bridge. After that, you can drag and make the text as long
as the video itself, so the text is there for
the duration of the video. Next, you click on
the V together, the selection tool
click on the bridge. And the next thing I want to do is I want to go
to the Essential Graphics, which as I said, if
you don't have it, just opened it from
Window and click on the central graphics,
click on edit. And now you have this text here. You can do some changes. For example, change
the scale ecetera, and let me just
make it really big. Let me center it. They
put a little bit on top. And this would be the simplest, easiest way to put
the text on a video. And let me just play
it so we can see it and see what I
don't like about it. So first of all, there's
really no focus. The texts and the foreground and background are
just the same. The eye does not, does
not know where to focus on and what to focus on.
So let's change that. The first really easy
thing you can do to change this is
going to the video, go into the effects control, click onto opacity and
change it, let's say to 70%. And as there is no layer
under the old bridge, so it's just darkness
under there, which I can see if I just
move it out the way. It creates this through newness
of this darkness effect, which also already
makes this bridge in white shine out
and looks great. So this is the first thing
I would recommend for an easy text. Focuses. To even improve this, you can
go on to the Effects menu, search for Gaussian blur. Click on Gaussian Blur and
put it onto the video itself. Now the Gaussian blur is put
onto the old bridge video. And now if we go back
to the Effects Control, we can change the blurriness to, let's say, a small value of ten. And you can already see
that the blurriness and the breakdown and increase it
so you can see what I mean. Causes the bridge to stand out. And this is what the clip
would look afterwards. Very easy and very simple,
but very effective.
4. 3. Video Inside Text: Hello everybody, welcome
to the third lecture. I'm going to show you how
you can place a video inside a text as it
has done in 1917, where you have this field and the soldiers are fighting
bombs exploding. And it looks really cinematic. And then inside of this video, a text appears from behind with a video then transitions
into the text. And then texts took turns into a gradient,
which looks really cool. This is the end result
after this tutorial. So let's start with tutorial, how to put a video
inside a text. First, let's import the
video that you want to use. Then drag and drop the
video tight the time layer. Now this creates a sequence and the sequence
contains the video, which is in this case just the
drone flying to the right. And taking a video of these clouds moving to the
left, it looks pretty good. Then we want to add
the text for this. We can either press T on the keyboard or
select this Type tool. Click somewhere in the
video and let's say title. Summarize, press V for the
Selection Tool and go into the essential graphics which
you can again visit by window and then Essential
Graphics panel. Here. You can
increase the title. First of all, so
let's increase it. It's like a big Second of all, I don't like the text formats, so let me use something
more cinematic, like impact, like this. Now, let's change the
duration of the title to be as long as
the video itself. So now we have a
title that's just on top of a video, patriotic for. The key thing is now that you want to go to the Effects panel and check for the
Track Matte key, the effect on the
video effects and key, and drag and drop this onto
the video, not the title. We then make sure that the
title is on lane video. To click on the video, go into Track Matte key
under the Effects Controls. Click onto met and
click onto video two. We already have that the
video is inside the title, which looks great already. To now get the
zooming effect where the title comes from behind
and goes into the screen. We first click on the
title, go into video, go into the beginning
of the video and introduce a keyframe
for the scale. Let's say I want this to last. Let's say 20 frames. So we hold shift, click to the right four times. This is 20 frames, maybe
even longer, let's say 25. Put another keyframe. So we have these two keyframes. We want to make the
transition from going from really big to the
title as it is now. So what do we do now? We go to the first keyframe and raise up the
scale really high, Something like yeah, like this. And now what we already
have is transition from a really big title that
goes into the screen. As you can see that the trend, the transition is really sharp. So what you can do is you can
ease that a little bit by right-clicking on
the last key frame and clicking on ease in. Now the transition is smoother. You can also make this
a little bit longer so it looks smoother. Yeah. This is the first part, the second part of
the introduction, as I showed from 1917, had this calibrating effect and they want to show you
how to do this as well. What do you do? Let's say we want to end this
transition at this point, we go into the cutting tool or the razor tool here and
delete this video from here. Let's say we want to
make the transition from this video to a blue tone. And what you can do is we can go into the projects folder, clicking on New Item, click on column ID, select Settings, and give
it just a blue tone. I'll just call it. We then drag and drop it onto the video one line and make sure that this
is as long as the title. And then now we
have to transition from This video inside of texts. So this blue outside one here, we have to also put the Met Track Matte key
effect onto the blue one, select the video to as before. And now we have this
transition from this video into the blue text. As we want the title
to have a gradient, we can just go into
the effects panel, type and gradient and have
this four-color gradient, put it inside this title
because it just picks for random colors and
Adrienne come to do is just select
bluish ones for now. You can do the fine tuning by yourself later, like this. And we have now this transition from a video inside of
texts to this gradient. Even though this tradition
is really sharp, we can smooth it a
little bit out by using a white gradient. So we can use the VR gradient y for the gradient
where it's your choice. Put it in-between
the two videos. And, but you then have is this transition just
looks really cool. If you want to make the
duration of the longer, you can just drag it,
drag the animation. And it looks
something like this.
5. 4. Great Looking Text Animation: Welcome back to the
fourth lecture. And today I'm going to
show you how you can have a really good-looking
texts transition. This will take your texts
position from something like this to something like this. So let's start with
the text transition. First, we're going to
import a new sequence, which we'll call
text transition. Click on this little T, click on the sequence and type the thing that you want
to be transitioned. I chose it to be
Calibri bold with a font size of 73 and
character spacing of 120. The next step is to
lengthen the clip to, let's say eight seconds. So the idea would be, as seen in the introduction for disclosure to meet outside coming a little bit first to the insights they can
then going outside. So for that, we need to
work with keyframes. Select the text,
go into the text, go on under the transform
panel to the position. And we wanted to have the first transition
to be 1 second long. So we're going to
the 1 second mark, which you can see here. Click on the keyframe and
leave it at this position. Now we want to go
to the beginning, create another keyframe, and make sculpture
go outside the box. So right around,
right around here. Now we have this two keyframes. First one is outside, the second one is inside. And if we just play back this
Skillshare Text transition, it just looks basic and normal. Even though this
is a very basic, we just need this
in the beginning will then transformed
into good-looking one. The next step is, let's say it should stay
there to three seconds. So at the 4 second mark, I took again, start moving. We do another keyframe here. And then it should
take, let's say 1.11, let's say two seconds to
go outside the picture. Now which will be outside. So on that keyframe, we drag it to the right side. In this configuration, we
have the scripture coming in, standing there for three seconds and then two seconds for
Skillshare to get out. So the first step
would be to turn the middle two keyframes into continuous bezier by going into Temporal Interpolation and clicking on
continuous bizarre. The second step would be to click onto this position arrow. So we have this little, this little graph
showing below which shows the velocity of the texts coming in and thought you
want to do is we want to have it very fast velocity at the beginning and
then slow down. And then again as
a ramp go up and velocity and have a very
high velocity and the end. So for that, we can just
click on the keyframe, click on the left side of this arrow and drag it
to the left pattern. We have this really huge ramp, which would look
something like that. It goes very fast
in and stays there. It goes fast in and
stays in the position. Now, on the other side, we wanted to have it grabbing
the other direction. So we click on the
second keyframe, click on this and drag
it to the bottom right. The first one was
the bottom left. The red one was to
the bottom right. So in the end it looks
something like this. Which looks really cool
in my opinion already. We can even make it
more sharp and make me the position where it
happens a bit earlier. So transition goes
faster, which is cool. So one thing that's
not very good, and this one is that even
though it goes faster, let me just stop it here. This is really fast right now, but we can still read
skillshare perfectly fine. It's still clear,
which would be not be the case in real life. Because if something goes fast to see a little bit blurry, next step would be
to introduce blur, motion blur or direction. Order. For that, we go again into the effects type and blur
and go under Video Effects, blur and sharpen
directional blur. Put it inside the text. After applying the
directional blur, we go into the effects control, go into their length. And what we wanna do is we want again to introduce keyframes. And for this, we go
to the position, you go to the second
keyframe and create, create a blank keyframe. We go to the next keyframe and the position and create
another keyframe. Then turn those 22
continuous is R1. So as before, and we want to decide how much blurriness you want to have a disposition. Let's say. For here we just scale the
blow length up and you can see how the blur direction
is to the top right now. And to change this, you
have to change direction. Let's open the
direction and we can see that the arrow is
pointing to the top. To be correct, we would
need to go to the right. So we would have a
90 degrees angle. And if we do is this
looks way better, right? So we can see how it has a directional blurriness
to the correct direction. Let's say I wanted to have
this much blurriness. Take this key frame and
put it to the beginning. So we have this first transition
that looks like this. To even make things look better, we can again go onto the
graph and make it the same as it is in the
positioning graph. So it has the same
looks as it is again, fast in the beginning, so much blurriness and then
slower in the afterwards. So less blurriness, which
already it looks really good to have the same
effect on the outside. We can again go to
the position where the sketches close
it to be outside. Make blur, blur length
if we want it to be. So let's, let's decide it to be. This blurry at this position. Put the keyframe to
the other keyframe of the positional
transformation. Make the shape of the topper
blur length the same as the position graph by dragging this one to the
right and see the results. This would basically be
our text transition. Looks really good in my opinion. So I hope you like
the transition. The next video will be about a text that's behind
a moving object.
6. 5. Text Behind Moving Objects: Welcome back to the fifth
lecture of this tutorial. In this lecture, I'm going
to show you how you can place a text behind
a walking object. In this case, this
is a woman that is walking across the street and the text tower is still behind her even though
she moves in front of it. This effect is a bit more
complex and needs more time, but it is great and the
results look amazing. So let me show you how
I've done this effect. First, need to import
the videos you'd like. Then you drag and drop
it into the timeline and cut out the part that
you wouldn't need me. Let's say I start from here, delete everything else,
and look up your video. So this effect does not
work on every video. It has to be a bit specific. So for example, if you have a static camera and the moving
person or moving object, the object should
not change very much from frame to frame in
case of its positioning. If you have a moving camera and aesthetic object, this
is still the same. So the moving part
where the text is behind should not change very
much from frame to frame. If you zoom in on this on
this woman that is walking, you can see that
from frame to frame, her upper body is approximately
the same, which is good. So it'd be do now is, we can see that this is a fifth. So this fits for
this type of effect. And we can insert the text by pushing t are going
to the Type Tool. And let's write tower. I click V to F, the selection tool and move it. So have upper body
moves along this tower. The next step is to
create the mask. To create a mask, we go into the effects
control of the text. We see that under
opacity there is the small fried rovers year, which is like a pen and
click on this and then we need to zoom
in onto her body. For this to work, the mask needs to be around
the place where the text is. So if you are above
or under texts, then you don't need
to be very specific, but around where the
texts will cross over. This has to be specific. And what you need
to do there is, let me get this woman
and to full screen now. And what I do now is
I can go back into the mask and create this mask
by clicking along her body. If you do this with precision, it will get better results. As I said, you don't
need to be precise. Anything above or
below the text. Click along this buddy,
you finish the mask, and now you click
on inverted here. This is very important. But you also need to change
the mask feather, which says how a prompt, the mask should work function. And if you set it too low value, there's a very sharp corner.
So let's set it to one. Now if we let, let's
just move the text for now and we can see
that there it goes, under the mask filters that out. So in order for the woman to walk to the left
and the mask following her, we need to do some
changes because if you just start to play it and
then we click on this mask, you can see it. And
let's start play. The mask is still
on the right side. It has to move
with the movement. For that, I go back to 200% zoom and go back to the beginning or to the place where
the mask started. Let's say it was around here. I click on the
Toggle animation for mask path to create a
keyframe for mask path. And what I do now is I go 123 frames ahead,
check what the, the mask path was and
move it to the left. So to align that again
with the body, go again. You can also make
some specific changes if you don't like
them as calories, just make it a bit
more precise in that case, like that maybe. And then go again. Go again 123 frames, further. Move the mask with it
and make some changes. And you do this on repetition. So you go 1123 frames ahead
and Move mask with it. And you need, the more precise you are with the
mask, the better the results. For my case, this
should be enough. Let me just do a little
bit faster so you can see the end result faster. And I'm moving three frames ahead by clicking the right
arrow on the invoice. Well, let me correct the last
keyframe because I think there was like Okay, yeah, and this is
then the end result. So let's see it. Go to fit. Let's make this a bit bigger. Let's see how this moves. As you can see, the woman just works or the
text is behind them.
7. 6. Typewriter Effect: Welcome to the sixth
lecture of the series. In this lecture, I
want to show you how you can do the
typewriter effect. So the typewriter effect
is where the text is coming as you type it as it is usually done when you're
typing on your keyboard. This is an example and I think it lists looks really
cool on an introduction. So let me show you how I
did this typewriter effect. First. Just to have a background, I'm importing a
black video, video, which I will turn white and the next drug into the
timeline and make it a little bit longer than I go into the effects and
search for tipped. Now with this new effect
and the effects panel, I can map back to any color I want and I want it
to be met to white. So that's the first step.
This is all background. Next, I want to have
a text, so press T, click on the video
and let's write type effect. I put
this in the middle. Then for the typewriter
effect, we need this bar, the bar that represents where
our next character will be. For that, I will just
introduce a new color met, which would just be black
as the text as well. I will call this, let
me call this line, put it inside our view
and let me stretch both for duration of this video. For this to be aligned
needs to make it smaller. And to do that, we go into the effects control of the line. We uncheck this
unifies uniform scale. And we put the scale with
20 dot three, let's say. And the scale height
to the text size, which would be
something like this. Let me move the text
so it fits the line. When you make the
line a bit bigger. Let's say a five.
Yeah, Looks good. Perfect. After we have the line, we need to go into
the effects control, search for the linear wipe and put it to the
typewriter text. Here we have some features
that you can change, some settings that we can do, and we need, first of all,
to change to wipe angles. So let me show you
what 90 degrees means. So I'll just go into this. So as you can see is if you
go with higher percentage, the wipe goes from
left to right, but usually the texts
goes from left to right, so it has to be the
other way around. And to do this,
we need to change the y by angle from 92270. After we have done this, we can just make
sure that everything is working by checking what
the top tradition looks like. Yeah, this is good. So you want to start somewhere with no text and then at the end come to the place where
this all the text. And to do this, we need to introduce
again keyframes. So what we do is we go
to the starting place, which is around 76%.
We do keyframe. And then let's say we want this text to be there
in three seconds, which is a long
time, but so and to another keyframe where this wipe effect is
completely gone. Now, if I just blend outline, the text looks
something like this. As I said, this is very slow. So what I can do is I can this keyframe a bit
further to the left. So the texts comes out faster. The next step would be to get the line in the
correct position. For that, I will go to
the line again showed, and I would move it
to the first position where you can see where
the text is for that, let me just go with the text, the end line, put it in the beginning by
changing the exposition. Like somewhere
around here right? Now we know that this
is the starting point. For me on we need to do a keyframe for the
position of the line. Make sure when this one
ends, it ends around. Let's see, it ends around here. And do another keyframe
for the line where the line is moved to the
right most position. So it was done with the effect. Here. Let's see how this
will look like. This already. It looks
really, really good. Sometimes the line does
not move with the texts. And what you can do
then is just create another keyframe in the middle
where you don't like it. Let's say I don't like
this position of the line. I do another keyframe and
they change position slowly, let's say to the right. So the line is a bit ahead
of the ER. So like this. Then it looks like this. And you can do this as
many times as you want. So this one already looks great. The only effect that
is missing is that the line should be blinking. And for that, I go onto
the opacity of the line, click onto the keyframe, go five frames to the right. Or you can also do ten ****
Hawaii however you like it. And then bring the
opacity back to 0, then again five
frames back to 100, again five frames back to 0. And you can speed up this
process by just copying after, let's say four, go into the next five
frames and paste it. And then go to the
last keyframe. Go again five frames
and paste it. And you do this until
every character is shown. And after you've done this,
you can just see how it looks like. This looks great. You can also, let's say I wanted to have this blinking
effect a little bit longer. So it would look
something like this.
8. 7. Voice Audio Enhancement Effects: Hello everybody and
welcome to this lecture. And this lecture, I'm
going to show you. Hello everybody, and
welcome to this lecture. And this lecture, I'm
going to show you how you can enhance your audio quality, especially if you're using a bad mic like I'm
using right now. The idea is that I'm going
to apply the effects now and you should be able to hear the changes immediately. So let's jump into Premier Pro and let me show you how
I've done this effect. So in order to make
an assessment how good or bad your
audio quality is, you first need a good
pair of headphones so you can listen to the
audio file and make sure that everything
you're doing and you're correcting as actually
improving the audio. So in this case, I'm growing
my pair of headphones. So let's first hear how the audio quality sounds
without any effects. And using right now. The idea is that I'm going
to apply the effects now and you should be able to hear the changes immediately. So the ideal case is that you already have a really
good microphone. And my case, I don't have one, so I have to use this
one and I have to sharpen it up with the software. For this. We need, in this case
for specific effects. So let me import them. So there are two
different ways to apply audio effects onto
the audio files. The first one is the normal, usual one that you
already learned. When you go into
the effects panel, you search for the effect
that you want, for example, the parametric
equalizer, and you simply drag and drop it
onto the audio file. Then after going into
the effects control, you can see that the parametric
equalizer is applied. In my opinion, this is not
the recommended way to do it because let's imagine you have a real edit where you
have a lot of cuts. And now you have to apply
all of these effects, all of these different cuts, even though you can do this
by copying and pasting, this still requires time
and also prone to errors. So instead what you can do is we can apply these effects to a whole lane in the
audio ln 12 or three, or if you have more than more. So first let me delete
this parametric equalizer. Let me then go to Window
audio track mixer audio. And now we can see that
the three lanes you have, your timeline is represented
by these three bars. And now you can just import the audio effect
after the other, the whole audio lane by
clicking on these arrows. So before I start editing
the audio lane A1, and we want to hear
the difference of the changes after
the applied effects. Let me just transform
the first audio file onto the second lane. Okay? So the first effect that I
want to import is called the parametric equalizer found under Filter and EQ and
parametric equalizer. Now we want to
right-click this and go into Edit to open up the window. What we can see in the
permanent equalizer is how our recording or voice is shown in
the frequency range. So let me play this video and we can see where the
frequencies are hard, what the, what the dB gain for the different frequencies
are in this recording. You should be able to hear
the changes immediately. Let's jump into Premier Pro. The first thing I want
to tell you is that usually if you are just
talking over the microphone, everything below 90 hertz, natural voice, it's something else that your
microphone picks up. Noise, could be whatever. So you don't want to have this. The second thing is that
on the higher frequencies, the clearance effect that if you mix up or put up the gain
in the higher frequencies, your voice gets a
little bit more sharp. The good thing is
that Premier Pro itself has really good presets. So what you can do is
we can click onto, we can click onto presets
and go into vocal enhancer. And as you can see, this
graph is now shown what I just told you applied
a high-pass filter. So it allows high
frequencies to pass and low frequencies to be
blocked under 80 Hertz. Then it's raised up the gain
at the high frequency end. As usually really
cheap microphones don't have really good
frequency coverage. We don't want to
overdo this effect. So what I would like
to do is first, I want to go on to the high, high-pass filter and make
it to 48 dB per octave. This made a really
sharp transition on how to cut off or
the lower frequencies. The next thing is that the higher frequencies
have a lot of gain. And this is not really a
very sharp transition. And if I can listen to
it, so let me, let's, let's listen to the audio
without while I'm moving this higher frequency
part so you can see what it is
doing immediately. Let's jump into Premier Pro and then show you how I've
done this effect. So what just happened is
that the audio file go to an nth order to not always go
to the beginning playback. So let's jump into Premier Pro and then show you how
I've done this effect. And again, are done with
the audio or video file. We can use a simple trick. So let me just
close this for now. Let me go to the
first starting point. Click on the I button
to create the in point. Go to the end. Click on the O button to
click to get the 0. And now I can click
on this plus sign. Search for the loop
playback button and drag it onto the line and then click on Okay, and
now you have this one. Now you can click this. Go back to the beginning, play. They're able to hear the
changes immediately. So let's jump into Premier Pro and let me show you how
I've done this effect. You should be able to
hear the changes in. So now the audio file loops around so you don't
have to always go back after while you own voice
sounds kind of annoying, but trust me, it's
more annoying to always go to the beginning click Enter just to listen
to the effects are. So let's go back onto the parametric equalizer
effects and let's continue. So the first thing
I want to do is, as I said, I don't have
a really bad microphone. I wanted to apply
this effect gently. So I'm going to reduce this and going only with really
high frequencies. So let me listen to it now. Immediately. Let's jump into Premier Pro and let me show you how
I've done this effect. And you should be
able to hear, okay, so just a little bit, but this is good enough, right? Let's finish with the
parametric equalizer and go on to the next effect. The next effect can be
found under amplitude and compression and is called
a single band compressor. Right-click on this and
talent to edit as well, to open up the single
band compressor window. The compressor, there is a multi-band or a
single band compressor. Does the following. You have when recording and it difference
in audio levels. So you have peaks in
the audio level where it maybe you're just
pronouncing the S, that is like a really
high frequency and it's maybe recorded
a little bit hotter while you are speaking louder
into the microphone at some point and sometimes you're just speaking not loud enough. And what the
compressor does is it tries to level and
level of doubt. So the higher tones, such as getting a bit
down at the lower ones, are just applied a bit higher. And Premier Pro itself has some presets that
are good as well. I like to use voice over, over with a little bit, a little tweak on the tag
where I just wanted to raise this to ten milliseconds. Let's hear the difference again. Let me first bypass this effect. So you have done this effect and you should be able
to hear the change. And now let me again use this effect to see
what the differences are there here with
the differences. And just immediately, Let's
jump into premium pro. Yeah, that sounds like
way more cinematic. I like this, like this. Next thing is to listen to the noise in the background as this is a cheap microphone. And now you have
two effects that you just apply that raise up, in some cases are raised up. The background noise or the sound in the back on what you can listen and
you should be here. You should be able to view
it in the background. And let me show you how
I've done this effect. You should be able
to hear the changes. So to get rid of this, we use a de-noise, which you can be fat, which can be found under
noise reduction and t nodes. Right-click on this. Go to Edit and open the window. Here. It's already set to 40%, which is really high. So we start at 0, we listened
to the audio and then slightly increase the
amount of denoising. So let's do that. Let's jump into Premier Pro and let me show you how
I've done this effect. And you should be able to
hear the changes immediately. Let's jump into Premier Pro and let me show you how
I've done this effect. Yeah, So I think
15% is really good. Let's again listen
to the background without the de-noise effect. And you should be able
to hear the end now with the nice effect
changes immediately, the background noise just got a bit lower, which is great. We're close to finished up. The next thing is just
to make sure that the audio gain itself
is high enough. And we do this by going to the last effect which is
called the amplifier. Right-click on this
and go into Edit to open the amplifier as well. Here what I want you to do
is I want you to look onto the right bar and check what the highest gain
is that you can see. So let's jump into Premier Pro and let me show you how
I've done this effect. And you should be able to
hear the changes immediately. The other way to do is, is you can right-click on
the audio file, go down to Audio Gain. It says that the
peak amplitude of this specific audio file
was minus seven dB. And I want you to,
what I want you to do is I want you to
go get to amplify, go to Edit and just increase it that it is still
below minus three. So my case I would turn up to, let's say four dB. Then it just got a bit louder. Nothing special happened, just, I made the audio louder. Let's hear it. So let's jump into Premier Pro and let me show you how
I've done this effect. And you should be able to
hear the changes immediately. So let's jump into Premier Pro and let me show you how
I've done this effect. In order to make sure that there is nothing that passes
minus three db. There's also this optional step, which in my case I'm going to apply just to make
sure that the audio just not occasionally bursts out and maybe her
to hurt your ears. So once you can then
apply is another effect. You search for it under amplitude and search
for hard limiter. You right-click the hard
limit to really go into edit. Your preset to limit
to minus three dB. And now it makes sure that
every sound that is below, above minus Vb will
just be canceled out and make it a
little bit less loud. So let's just listen to it again and make sure
that everything sounds good and you should be able to hear the changes immediately. So let's jump into Premiere Pro. Okay, So in my opinion, this is still a bit too loud, so I just might amplified
this a bit too much, and this is probably because of the single band compressor. So let me right-click
on this, go into edit. So there's this output gain of four dB that they
didn't see beforehand. Let me just turn it
down to 0 because I already did this in
the amplifier effect. You can also get rid of the amplifier effect and
just do it here. But as I learned it this way, I'm just going to
use it this way. So let's decrease this down to 0 and now listen to it again. Oh, and let me show you
how I've done this effect. And you should be able to
hear the changes immediately. Yes. So the sounds really good. Let me let me just delete the in and out points
and listen to it. Completely bad, mike,
like I'm using right now. The ideas that I'm going
to apply the effects now. And you should be able to
hear the changes immediately. Yeah, like the sound
quality just rose up and it's really sounds
more cinematic this way. I hope you liked this video. And let's go onto the next one, which will be a video
transition effect.
9. 8. Cinematic LUTs: Hello everybody and welcome
back to this course. In this lecture, we're going
to talk about lattes are, in, this is just a short
form for look up a table. So you have a table where some properties
have already been tweaked for you than
my case I did it. You can just import them into Premier Pro and use
them on your videos. And the idea of a lattice
that you can use them on your footage to create a very
cinematic looking effect. And as there are a lot of shots that you
can use and a lot of different parameters
that you could have for each view of video. I created 15 different labs, so you can just use
them and try them out and check which one
fits the best for you. So the idea of this lab is that you can turn something like this into something like this, which aggravates it
looks a lot better. And it really didn't
take a lot of time. It was just applying
lottery already created and then just using
it and going with it. So after you have seen what
bloods are, let me show you. You can import them and how you can use them in Premier Pro. The first thing we need to do is we need to close Premier Pro. Then we need to go to the folder where your
lats I don't want it. Then you copy all of them and go to the folder Adobe
Premier Pro Tools installed. In my case, it is this PC, then my hard drive, and then under Adobe, There you go into Premier Pro. You search for Lumetri. Lumetri. Go into, let's go into creative
and paste them into here. So again, copy all the
labs that you don't notice from the
Skillshare website that I uploaded for you, go into the Adobe
installation folder, which most of the time is in
this PC, your hard drive, and then Adobe Premiere
Pro go into Lumetri, going to latch onto creative and then paste them into here. Then open Premier Pro again. And then you can just
work as you would usually work with the
Adobe Premier Pro. So let me first import my
video that you want to be. I want to have a
cinematic look that may create a sequence out of that. It is. And for cinematics, it usually is the shot itself
that makes it look cinematic. So you can twist and tweak
it a little bit afterwards. But the shot itself has to be systematic in order to
have a cinematic video. Let me show you how you
can then edit this video. First of all, we need
to adjustment layers. And I didn't come across the adjustment layers until
this point of the course. So let me just explain what it does and how you can import 1. First, you click on New Item and then you
see adjustment layer. You click on Okay. And then that created
one adjustment layer. Let me just rename it to labs and imported onto the timeline and make it the same
length as the clip. And now we have the first
adjustment layer importance. And the adjustment
layer works is like a, it's like a layer on top of
everything that is under it. So if you have it put on V2, everything under
it, so just V1 will be affected by this
adjustment layer and so on. So if you put this onto V3 and you have video
files and V2 and V1, then both of them would be
affected by adjustment layer. So the idea is that if
you have a lot of clips, so let me just pose
the same clip again. You want to make a
change to all of them. You can just due to the
Adjustment Layer and drag the adjustment layer across multiple clips and
everything and every effect, every, every little
color grading you do on the adjustment layer will
then apply to both of them videos or all of
the videos below it. And that's the idea of
an adjustment layer. After you've inserted
the adjustment layer, we can then go on to window
and open the Lumetri color. In there. You can have many
color correction or color grading features. In this case, we just want to
open the last way we can go into creative and see on look, we now all the labs are
installed that I just gave you. The my case I think loved
one looks really good. So I just press a lot one, it already did the effect. And you can see that
it turned from, from this to this look, which looks really
cool in my opinion. The next step would
be to crop this down because often these
black bars at the top, at the bottom make things
look way more cinematic. So let me import another adjustment layer so I don't have to do
it for every clip. Let me call this black bars
and import this into the V3. And as I said, now
this will apply to this adjustment layer
and also to this one. Now we go into the effects, search for crop and put it
onto the adjustment. There. You go into Effects Control and see that this crop feature, this crop effect has been
enabled and can be adjusted. So let's put the
black bar at the top, let's say 11%, and also
at the bottom of 11%, which now looks like this. The reason why we use two different adjustment
layers is the following. First of all, the black bars we want to
have on every clip. So what you do is
you can just drag it along the video line. And every clip we have to have the black bars at the
top and the bottom. The reason why we're not
putting it onto the lot is that maybe you don't like
the lot so hard, right? And what you can do
then is you go onto the adjustment layer with the creative LUT
that you selected. Let me just make another one
so you can see what I mean. And different ones that
depend on your footage. And you can go onto the opacity and just make it a
little bit less. So you can see how it turns
from the original footage to the 100% opacity lot. And you can maybe choose to something in-between
if you don't like it that hard or that much. And if you do that with the
with the crop effect also, then you would see that the
video from behind will come. So this has to be
100% all the time. And that's basically
how you can create this cool looking
synthetic effect by just a really easy lot,
import and selection.
10. 9. Speed Ramp Video Transition: Hello everybody and welcome
back for this course. In this lecture, I'm going
to show you how you can do is transition from
one medium to another, where both videos are
shot in slow motion. And then you can do
a real good looking time speed up transition from one value to
the another one. This is how the video
will look like if you don't do any transition. And this is how it will look like if you do it
the transition. So we started off
with a lot of text, animation and text edits. We went to audio at
least some point. And now I want to go
into video transitions. So this is the first one, and I hope you will enjoy it. So let's jump right
into Premier Pro and then Michelle height
at this time, bending transition
on the video files. First, let's import the
videos that we need. My case, it's the lake
video and the video. Then drag them
onto the timeline. You don't need the audio file. I want to have this
transition from the lake to the walking woman. And especially this transition works very well on
slow-motion shots. So the idea would be now
to speed up both videos. And for that we need to zoom in a little bit by
dragging these icons. And now we see this fx
appearing on both videos. And all you can
do now is you can right-click and go to
time remapping and speed. Now this line appears, do the same thing
for the other video. And also the slanted piece here. This line really means
the speed of the video. So this is currently at
100 per cent, so at one. So the normal speed, when we click and
drag it to the top, we will increase the speed of the video and therefore
decrease the length of it. So if I double the speed,
the duration gets, gets shortened to the
half of the region, which you can see here, right? But we only want to
have this effect on the end of the first video and the beginning
of the last video. So what we do is we create a keyframe close to the
end of the first video. And this is done on
the effects control and time remapping key-frame. And now we have this
keyframe where we can now drag on the right
side of this keyframe, the timeline to the top, where only the right
side is affected. And let me increase
this to 400%. Which now would look
something like this, right? It's a very sharp
transition from normal speed to
high-speed. Which array? It looks cool. We do the same thing for
the walking lady just from the beginning. So we go summary into the clip, let's say until this point we do a keyframe on the
left side of the skin firm, we increase the speed. Let's also say to
500%, maybe even less, let's say three hundred,
four hundred per cent. Now have this sharp
transition from very fast, too slow, which
looks really cool. Close the gap. And what you can do now is
we can make this sharp, harsh transition more
smooth by clicking on the keyframe and dragging
it to the right. You can also do is then click on this blue line and drag it to the left to have
the smooth blue curve. The same thing on
the right side. Click on the keyframe,
drag it to the left. Then we click on this keyframe, click on the blue line
and drag it to the right. And so we have this
smooth transition over speed, can claim back down. And now the shot looks
something like that. Which is a really cool
transition in my opinion.
11. 10. Video Masking Transition: Hello everybody and welcome
to this new lecture. In this lecture I want
to show you how you can do cool masking transition. Where the ideas that you have a moving object that is covering up the
lens of the camera. And as it then later
reveals, the background. Background has changed
to the new video. This is how the two videos
that I want to show you an example look like
without any transition. And this is how they will look
like with the transition. So let me show you, I've done this
cool-looking transition. First, import the files that
you need for the transition. My case, it's the subway. And then I take this
landscape important both onto the timeline to
create a sequence and go into the clip that will
then reveal the other one. In my case, it's this
train that in the end, we'll reveal the
underlying landscapes. So what I need to do
now is first find out, I'll make sure that the
object that is moving is covering up the whole video. For that, I need to scale a little bit so I
only see the train. Like, let me do it like this and then move it
a little bit down. Yeah, something like this.
Maybe a little bit more Zoom so you only see the trend. Yeah, like that. Then let me cut this a
little bit so long. Then we need to make
sure we find where the last moment
of transition is, which is exactly here, right? So we cut the video after that. You don't need it. Then we need to start
with a masking. We need to find the
first frame where the video reveals or the object that is moving reveals something
that's behind it. In this case it would be. Let's go through it. This
is the let's say this is the first frame where
something is scene behind it. And what we do now is we
go, we click on this video. We go until as always, when those effects control, to have the effects
control panel open, go onto opacity, the
opacity section, and click on this pen
to create a mask. Now I have a mask and we need to have a different
path for the mask. The mask should be moving. So what we need to do is we
need to create a keyframe. Now that you have the mask, we can then select
the mask by first adjusting the scale to see
what's actually happening. I do 25 per cent. Then we do the mask from outside to the
inside, like that. This is our first mask. Now it only shows
what's on the right, but we want to have, want to have the reverse path, right? So we inverted. So this turns into black and later turns into the video
that we would like it to be. Now click on the
mask or one frame to the right and then adjust the mask so it still covers up everything that we need
to see afterwards. We go one frame to the
right and adjust the mask. And we do this over and over. And make sure that the mass
is covering up everything. Just make it big. The mask covers up the entire screen and
then you're done. Now, very important, we
need to also do this. Need to go back to the
very first keyframe, which is this one. Go one frame more to the left, and then put this mask outside the box so we don't see it in the very
first beginning. And that's it. We
basically did it. If we now play this back, we would see that the mask is covering up in black, right? As the train is moving. And the only thing
we need to change, and I was put there to put
this on B2 and put the clip that you start
afterwards exactly where the first keyframe
from the mask is. So what you can do is I
can select the video clip. We can go to the first
keyframe which is here. We then move to the
second video that should appear under it exactly
at this position. And now the transition
looks like that. Very cool looking. And you can also use a
working woman that is working past the camera
or walking pillar that is just covering up the
camera in the sequence. So you can do a lot
of things with that.
12. Outro: So we officially, at
the end of the course, I hope you learned something new and got something out of it. As I said in the introduction, if you see a very
cool cinematic effect or edit somewhere in the cinema or on a trailer on YouTube video and just wants
to know how it worked. You can just comment
down below and I will put up a video
that shows that. Other than that, I hope
you liked it and I wish you a very successful
Premier Pro Korea.
