- This is gonna take forever, right?
Oh, is it? No, it's not.
It's not gonna take forever at all.

Today's topic is, "Video Editing for Instagram".
Specifically, if you have a video
that you have made for some other social network,
how do you make it for Instagram?
How do you do a re-edit or recut or reframe?
If I wanted to make the square,
the first thing I think people would do
is they would right-click.
They would go to reveal sequence in project.
See that you find it here, then you would duplicate it.
So you can either go to right click duplicate,
or you can just press Alt and drag down to duplicate,
and then I'm gonna rename this square,
and then open that up.
Obviously, nothing's changed
'cause it's just a duplicate, right?
So I would go to sequence, sequence settings,
and change it to a square aspect ratio.
So right now it's 1920 by 1080, 16 by 9,
just like we talked about,
I would do 1080 by 1080, and make it a square.
So now it's 1 by 1. And I press okay.
And it's like, "Are you sure?
Because you have a bunch of rendered clips on this timeline.
And making them square will make them unrendered."
And I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine. I get it."
So as you can see that green line up top changed to yellow
because it was all rendered before.
The thing that it's done essentially
is it's taken all of those clips
that are actually like this size,
and it's just cut the middle out.
If I go to effect controls motion,
I can see the bounding box around it.
Duh! duh! duh! duh!
And I can see that this is the actual size of the clip.
And it is just cut out the center, right?
But sometimes the action isn't in the center.
Sometimes the point of interest is off center.
Like here, I have this lady and she is with the umbrella,
and she's slightly off center, right?
So I have to go into my motion controls.
If I select the word motion, I can now move it side to side.
Obviously it moves freely.
So if I select, hold down shift,
then it just moves side to side,
and it's a little bit easier for me to reframe.
Or I can literally hover my mouse over the position controls
and reframe it that way.
So instead of doing all that jazz, instead,
let's just go back to the original one, 16 by 9, right?
And we're gonna right-click.
We're gonna go to reveal sequence in project.
So there it is, in our little project there.
And then we're just gonna right click,
and go to auto reframe sequence.
You guessed it, you guessed it folks! Auto reframe.
What do you think that does? Auto reframe, is it for us?
So we're going to go to auto reframe sequence
and it will literally ask us,
how do you want to auto reframe it?
What is your target aspect ratio?
Do you want it to be square?
Do you want it to be a vertical rectangle?
Do you want it to be like full vertical
or do you have like a custom thing in mind?
Maybe you're auto reframing this
for like a website banner or something.
I'm gonna say let's do 4 by 5.
And I'm just gonna call it Toronto Travel Video chameleon
tall square auto reframed.
And then it also asks you about the motion tracking.
Now this isn't telling you how it will track the motion.
It's literally asking you the motion in your video,
is it fast or slow?
'Cause that, it wants to analyze it properly.
So for example if you have a lot of like action sports,
you're gonna want to select faster motion.
If your entire video is filmed on tripods,
you're gonna want to select slower motion.
I'm gonna select default,
because I'm just gonna let it do what it does.
And then I'm gonna press create.
And bada bing, bada boom! That's it!
That's it. It's done. There we go.
So now it has gone ahead and auto reframed every single clip
in my timeline, into this new aspect ratio,
which is pretty wild.
Premiere has this captions workflow, this captions workspace.
So if I go into the captions workspace,
and I just have this big old fat file here, there's options.
There's transcribed sequence,
create a new caption track or import captions from file.
So, I have gone ahead
and downloaded the caption track from YouTube.
I'm gonna say import captions from file.
And it's right here, captions.
It's in my documents folder. I'll open that up.
And it asks me what format do I want it?
Do I want it as a subtitle? Yes.
It asks me what style do I want it? I'll say none, for now.
It'll just be the default style that Premiere has.
And where do I wanna start it?
I wanna start it at the timeline start,
because that's how the caption track was generated
from the timeline start.
And I'll say, okay.
And there it is. Those are the subtitles right up here.
They've been generated already.
And, they've been broken up into their proper length
because that's how it was
from the YouTube auto-generated subtitles.
So let's take a look at these.
So we'll select this one, and we'll increase the size.
That's a little too much.
That's fine. Yep.
Let's make it a bold.
Let's give it a little bit of space.
Kerning, letting? I know this is (indistinct).
I know that you people know
whether this is kerning or letting.
I do have a degree in graphic design and I keep forgetting.
Huh! That right?
Okay. So, perfect.
So now that I've applied it to that one, right?
It hasn't applied to everything,
but I can make a track style here.
So, right now it says none,
but if I go to create style and I rename it,
so I'm gonna say big subtitle black box.
Now it is a style.
And now, that style has been applied
to every single one of the captions.
Say I wanted to change the aspect ratio of this, right?
Maybe I want to make it a square now.
I'll go right click, reveal sequence in project,
and take a look.
Because I dragged my original clip,
remember this was my original clip
and I dragged it into new sequence,
that sequence has appeared in my footage folder
right next to it.
That's what happens whenever you take a clip
and drag it into a sequence.
But I have my sequences folder here.
So let me rename it first.
And I'll say visual style 16, 9, 16 by 9, so I know.
I'll drag in the sequences
just to make sure that I'm all organized.
I will right-click. I'll go to auto reframe sequence.
Let's say I wanna make it a square, right?
So instead of 16, 9, 1 by 1. I'll say create.
So there we go.
And you can see that the subtitles have updated, right?
They've updated to the size of the sequence.
They're not like running past the edges.
They are now still very much onscreen.
And if I want to now, I'm like,
"Wow, that's pretty intense, the size of these subtitles.
That's pretty crazy.
How can I adjust that
in a way that is not going to like look so wild?"
I'll just go ahead. I'll select any of these, right?
Select it.
And right now it says track style,
big subtitle black box, right?
But I can change the size of the text.
I can even change the location a little bit
'cause I know that there's going to be like,
I know I'm gonna tag someone in this.
And I know that that tag is gonna appear here
on the bottom left of the screen.
It's gonna block it.
I know that here, it's gonna say something.
I don't know what, but it's definitely gonna say something.
So I want to keep it a little higher.
And you can see that now,
I can create a new style with that.
So I'm going to say create style, smaller subs higher.
Okay.
And now all the subs are smaller and higher.
But here's the problem that happened.
As I did this,
this entire thing was just one big block, right?
So it auto reframed the sequence,
but the sequence only had one clip in it.
So essentially, it just auto reframed the clip.
And that's no window because all it did
was essentially still cut out the middle.
So all of this stuff that like, maybe I'm not centered.
I mean, I've been centered in a lot of it,
but let's say that this one, for example, I'm not centered,
it doesn't recognize it because it's not different cuts.
So you would almost have to,
let's go back to visual style 16 by 9.
You would almost have to go back and go,
okay, where is the cut?
You'd have to go back to editing. Right?
Let's hide the subtitles for now.
You'd have to go back and say, oh, okay, where's the cut?
There it is. So let's get my blade tool to see.
Let's click see. Now I'm on my razor tool.
Thank you. It's called razor tool.
Not blade tool. Valentino, what are you doing?
Then I'll go right, right? Write frame by frame.
There's the cut.
The cut is usually on the first frame of the next clip.
That's where you place the cut.
So here, okay, that's the cut.
Except now I have snapping on
and it's snapping to the subtitles.
So let me track lock that so it's not snapping.
It's still snapping, whatever.
Okay, then, okay.
Next cut is here. That's the next cut.
Okay. Oh, that's the next cut there.
Cut.
Okay.
This is gonna take forever, right?
Oh, is it? No, it's not.
It's not going to take forever at all,
because all I have to do is right click it,
and go to scene edit detection.
This is going to save your actual life.
So I'm gonna click scene edit detection.
And it's going to say, "What do you want?"
And I'm gonna say,
"Please apply a cut at each detected cut point."
Now it's also going to say,
"Do you want me to create a bin of sub clips
from each cut point?"
Which is awesome, right?
'Cause say that this is a string out,
and you want each clip by itself as a sub clip
so that then you can like put them into other things,
totally a great way to do that.
And then if you want markers at each cut point,
you can also do that too.
But for me, I just need this, that I can reframe it, right?
So that each of those cut points creates a new little clip
that then Premiere can go and say,
"Oh, I know what this is. Let me auto reframe it."
So I'm going to say analyze.
It's going to take a hot second to do.
But guess what? I already did it.
So we can just go to that.
Bada bing! Bada boom!
I hope you enjoyed this class today
on like some tips and tricks that you can do for Instagram.
I hope this makes your life a lot easier.
Happy editing, and I'll see you later! Bye everybody.
