What's up, beautiful people?
It's your homegirl, Ms. Shameless,
all up in your building with another Tech Talk.
And in this video, we're going to learn
how to export videos that are square, rectangle,
any size that you may need
that are in the square dimensions.
And this video's brought to you
in collaboration with Adobe.
I'm super excited to be teaming up with them.
I actually did a collaboration on their channel
on how to use motion graphic templates
that will elevate your video content
and get you poppin', and they're customizable.
So you can tweak it to fit your brand and your needs.
So stay tuned to the very end
to find out more about that video collaboration,
which I have here and here.
Well, let's get into this back end
of Adobe Premiere and get creative, okay?
So the first thing you're going to do
is make sure you have your footage imported, okay?
So we have my footage imported.
And then I'm going to hit File.
I'm going to create a new sequence.
And I'm using this setting over here, DSLR, 1080, 24 frames,
because that's what the file has been filmed at.
And here you'll see the dimensions of vertical, 16 by 9.
We're going to flip that.
These are the settings of a feature film video
where it's like, rectangle.
So instead of 16 by 9, we're going to do 9 by 16.
So I'm just going to go ahead and flip these.
I'm going to go ahead and flip these to 1080 by 1920.
So there you have it.
I have a black rectangle,
and it's ready to receive files.
So I'm going to open this and drag this stock footage
that you can actually purchase without a watermark.
If you go over to Adobe Stock,
you will have lots of fun over here.
So I typed in "pink ocean."
It is kind of pricey.
So the suggestion is to go out and film a pink ocean.
I believe it was this one.
So you could download this and use it at your disposal,
but say you don't want to film
and you happen to have lots of money.
You can go ahead and download these stock footages.
Mine has a watermark because I'm not sure
if I want to use this or not.
And drag and drop as an example to show you.
Now it's going to say Clip Mismatch Warnings,
because this has this kind of landscape setting,
and I need it to be vertical portrait setting.
So this clip does not match the sequence settings.
Change sequence to match the clip settings.
I want to keep the existing settings.
Now you'll see here that it's cropped.
And that might work for you guys,
but I don't want to crop it.
I don't want to crop it, Mommy.
So we're going to go over here,
and you can either slide it to suit your needs
or you can type in fitty percent.
We're typing in 50, okay?
And you can do cool things.
You can rotate it.
You can do all kinds of fun stuff over here
on the effects control.
Okay, I'm going to go ahead and keep it like that.
Now, sometimes I don't mind black bars on either end.
And then I can write text on it
when I import it into Insta Stories.
But I actually don't want black bars.
I want to create that effect where it blurs.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I'm going to show it to you, okay?
I copied this. I hit Command C,
and I'm going to hit Command V,
and it copies the same clip.
I'm going to put it on top of one another.
Then I'm going to click the bottom clip.
Okay, are you still with me?
Please be with me.
And I'm going to go to video effects.
I'm going to go to Blur.
I'm going to go to Gaussian Blur.
I'm going to drag and drop it onto the clip below.
Now, highlighting the clip below,
not the clip on top, but the clip below,
I'm going to scale that bad boy all the way up.
She going all the way up.
Okay, so we've got like 160.
160 is the magical number.
Now, with the blur, this blurriness here,
I'm going to go ahead and drag it and drag it,
and that's what she looks like.
So when I hit play,
it's kind of nice.
It's not black. It's something.
It's more that meets the eye.
So that's one way you can export your video settings
for Insta Stories, okay?
And again, you can have a lot of fun over here.
Now, you can also create a square for your Instagram feed,
or whatever platform you're exporting to.
So for that, I'm going to go ahead and create a new sequence.
Again, I'm going to keep it at this 1080, 24 frames.
It could change depending on
how many frames per second you've filmed.
So it's important to know. Or not.
And 1080 -- I looked at the settings for Instagram,
and I believe 1080 is perfectly fine.
And once I click here, you'll see that it went to
a vertical 1 by 1 ratio.
That's when that math kicks in, okay?
If you want to teach math in school,
use Instagram ratios as an example.
Instagram.
Can't even spell Instagram.
Two. Okay?
Okay.
So here we have a black square.
Now, I can go ahead and click my project folder.
Okay?
I have this random clip of me playing with plastic.
I'm going to go ahead and drag that onto the timeline.
Keep existing settings. Okay.
There we have it.
Now, she's a little off to the side,
so I'm going to go to the position and move her around.
I also think this could be smaller.
Let's go smaller.
I also want to crop this.
So here in the effects panel, I'm going to put Crop
and drag this and drop it onto my clip,
and then I'm going to say where I want to crop it.
Slow motion for me. Slow motion for me.
Okay. [laughing]
Then I'm going to go ahead and I have some B-roll here.
This is like a close-up of my plastic.
So again, just drag and drop that.
I'm going to -- oop.
I'm going to put that below.
There. There we have it.
We have a sequence that's a square.
We also have a sequence that is rectangular.
Oh, that's what I wanted to come back to.
Super helpful is filming vertically if you have the time,
so don't mind me and my antics with my plastics and such.
But this is perfect for when I know I'm going to post
on a specific platform that has specific sizes.
So I'm going to go ahead and rotate this.
And I'm going to scale this down.
And it actually fits perfectly.
I don't have to crop.
I simply have to rotate.
So I don't have to worry about the bars or anything
much like I have to do here.
Okay, so now that you have these videos,
we have to export them, right,
and get them on your phone.
So I just want to export this.
I'm going to hit O for Out,
and I'm going to hit Export.
Aha! Let's make sure your settings are right,
because this is where things can go awry.
Trust and believe, it's happened to me.
Make sure it's H.264 and the ratios are correct.
You want to make sure there's no black bars on the side.
And go ahead and export that.
And this is going to go straight to my desktop.
Once on my desktop, all I have to do
is turn on the Bluetooth on my iPhone
and drag it and drop.
And pow, and it's right there on my camera roll.
Let's pull her up.
Right there. Perfect and convenient.
If you'd like to find out more
about my collaboration with Adobe,
make sure you guys head over to their channel --
how I created the intro
that can help elevate your video content
and make it a little bit more professional
if you don't necessarily have all the graphic know-how.
They have a ton of free motion graphics
that you can download,
and a lot of them are free
and that you can easily install into your computer
and customizable.
Keyword: customizable. Why?
Because not all of us are geniuses.
