- Hey guys, welcome to Travel Feels.
Today I'm gonna be showing you guys
how to make your very own presets
and why, 100%, you should be doing this.
(inspiring music)
All right, today we're gonna be going through a pro tip,
not a bro tip, but a pro tip,
and that's using presets in your editing workflow,
and I'm not talking about LUTs here,
which are presets to make a certain color grade,
I'm talking about presets
for your effects that you're adding onto your clips,
whether you're color-grading,
or you're tweaking your sound,
or you're making animations.
You can make your own presets
that are customizable exactly the way you want them.
Let me explain.
If you're like me,
you end up doing the same things over and over again
in your editing workflow.
You're always adding a LUT,
and then maybe Colorista,
or some sort of other color correction effect on there.
You're tweaking the sounds.
Maybe you're adding an EQ,
or a compressor,
or something else,
and you're doing those things over and over again.
Maybe you even have the exact same setup for multiple videos
like I do for these YouTube videos,
and you're having to do the exact same things
over and over again.
Well, what if there was a plug-in
that was personalized just for you
that put exactly the right color effects on there,
and the exact right sound effects on there?
What if there was a preset just for you?
Well, I got news.
You can make your own personal presets.
It's actually really easy,
and it's gonna save you a massive amount of time.
Now I don't know if you can do this in other programs,
but this is in Premiere Pro.
It's the editing program that I use all the time,
and this is how you make your own presets.
So what you do is you take your footage,
here I have a talking head clip just like this one,
and we're gonna color-grade this,
so we're gonna add first our LUT on there with Lumetri,
and then I'm gonna add Colorista.
I'm gonna do some tweaks and make it look just right.
Okay, that looks great.
So now what we're gonna do to make our own preset is
we're just gonna choose all the effects
that we used to get this color grade,
and then we're just gonna right-click
and choose Save Preset.
Then you just give it a name,
and now you've made your own custom preset.
If you go into Effects, and then into Presets,
your custom preset is right there,
and then all you gotta do is take that
and drag it onto a new clip,
and you add all those same things that you did,
right away, instantly.
You don't have to do the same tweaks all over again.
It happens all for you.
And the nice thing is that it's not just in this project,
it's in all your Premiere projects now,
so when you open up a new project,
and you do this same thing,
you have that preset,
you just drag and drop,
you're done, boom, easy.
So instead of doing the same thing over and over again,
you just make a preset, drag and drop, boom, you're done.
Maybe a quick couple of little tweaks
if the lighting changed a little bit,
but it's so much easier that having to start from scratch,
and just finding that LUT,
and adding that thing and that thing.
Just one click, drag, drop, done.
And the nice thing is that you can do this for any effect.
So for example, with audio,
I've added an EQ and a Compressor,
and then a Mastering,
and then I just right-click, and Save,
and now I have my audio master preset.
I just drag that onto my clips,
boom, my audio sounds awesome.
It took like two seconds.
Or let's say you wanna animate your text a little,
so I'm gonna add a Turbulent Displacement,
tweak it around a little bit
so it has this nice little wiggle to it,
has a little bit of movement, a little bit of life to it.
Then I just right-click, Save Preset,
and now I can have my own little wiggle
that I can just drag and drop whenever I'm using text.
It's really easy, and it's that quick.
So you can see how useful this is,
and how much time it'll save you,
because you end up doing those same things
over and over again,
and let's say you're doing
100 or 1,000 projects in your lifetime.
Well, now instead of doing those same steps
over and over again,
you just take that one preset, boom, you're ready to go.
It'll save you hours of time,
so I highly recommend that you, right now,
get onto Premiere, and make your own presets
using your color grades, your sounds, whatever you're doing,
make some presets for yourself and save yourself that time.
All right, that's the pro tip of the day.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
