what's up video creators its video mark
dot net welcome to the Adobe create your
fate competition the trailer we mix
challenge where you get to re-edit the
trailer for the blockbuster movie
Terminator dark fade the best thing is
you actually you get to work with actual
footage from the movie Adobe and
Paramount have wrapped up a great
package of content for you to work with
so before we get to work let's take a
look at that asset kit first so when you
downloaded the asset kit and extracted
it you should be getting something like
this keep in mind though that the final
selection that you are getting might be
a little different slightly different
from what you're seeing here so it's not
set in stone but it should be roughly
this amount of content that you are
getting in this selection of clips so
what you're getting is a bunch of stock
audio and stock video assets from Adobe
stock and premium bait that you can use
in your project as well as a couple of
mograph templates these are pre-made
graphic animations templates that you
can import it to Premiere Pro we're
going to take a look at that in a minute
and customize so you can use it in your
project on top of that you're gonna get
a template project this is the actual
teaser trailer as well as the footage as
I said this might be different from what
you are getting but you're getting
roughly this amount of clips to work
with and this is actual footage from the
movie ok so let's fire a Premiere Pro
create a new project click on new
project and in this window just browse
to your location this is our destination
folder give it a name we want a college
trailer remakes challenge and say ok and
you just created your blank project to
actually start working in Premiere Pro
you can do two things you can start a
new sequence create a new sequence or
import your footage and drag it on your
sequence let's take a look at the
sequence settings here on new item set
sequence and you will be presented with
this long list of sequences but in
general I suggest to use a full HD 30
frames per second sequence that's a
great starting point so under AVC HD
1080p 30 frames per second say ok and
that's our sequence that's actually
starting point but as I said you don't
have to worry about sequences too much
because primary Pro will actually ask
you when you import footage if you want
to change those settings to match to
match the footage so here in our project
just double click the panel the project
panel and then browse to your asset kit
folder and then let's say documentary
stock video I just select all four of
them say open and huge you got your
stock video files and since these video
clips are already selected just drag
them on this folder to help you to
organize your project just a little bit
and then name that folder and this is
your video folder now so as I said when
you drag one of these any video asset on
your timeline Premiere Pro is going to
ask you what do you want to do with it
if you want to change the settings to
match the footage yes and here you have
your perfect settings so you really
don't have to worry too much about
sequence settings now when we go back to
the blank project that's another thing
you can do just again double click the
project panel go to our actual footage
and select all our footage either a
command or control a or select them with
by holding a shift key you can also just
select the folder the whole folder and
then click on import folder and then
Premiere Pro will import everything and
now within this folder just drag any of
these clips on your timeline as you can
see we have not created a sequence just
yet you can just Rob it Robert here and
Premiere Pro will create a sequence with
the perfect settings for your footage
that's another way to do it so again you
don't really have to worry about
sequence settings too much Premiere Pro
will do the heavy lifting for you so we
just created our project file we
imported the footage and at this point I
would actually suggest to commit to an
audio file early in the process because
it's very it's gonna be very helpful
especially when creating trailers to
commit to an audio file early and set a
certain tone it's gonna be very helpful
for your storytelling and to find a
certain rhythm when
editing the trailer so let's go ahead
and double-click the project panel again
and here in your asset kit go to
documentaries genre stock audio it's the
very first folder here you have a couple
of things to choose from and then you
have this one here select that and now
when we drop this in you're in our
timeline and the playback with the
spacebar you see that's already giving
you a certain mood and you can follow
along or maybe just experiment and try
another audio file and now let's go
ahead and add a couple of clips from our
footage folder to your trip timeline you
can select you can go to your footage
folder select a certain range by holding
the shift key and drag all these clips
on a timeline and then
[Music]
and at this point actually you would
just go at an experiment mix and match
rearrange we're gonna take a look at
that in a second okay we've got the
sound score in place here's the fun part
we get to edit the footage let's talk
about the source monitor real quick when
you eat go when we go into the footage
folder and double click our footage it's
gonna open in in the source monitor and
here you can use the I & Oh keys to set
an in and out point and drag this part
to your timeline or you can use these
icons right here to actually punch your
footage into your timeline okay but it's
simple and of course if you want to do
all the work in the timeline itself just
hold down the shift key select a certain
range and bring all these clips in your
timeline you want to lock the audio for
now because we want to edit and trim all
these clips and not affect the audio
file so here you can actually just start
dragging on these clips and trim them as
you can see that's pretty simple when
you have a gap right click and it will
delete that will close the gap of course
you can use a razor tool to place cuts
and just delete the selected clip and by
the way if you don't have this Auto
selection of Clips when scrubbing the
playhead just go to sequence and check
selection follows playhead and then
that's a very convenient way to work
your way through the timeline and then
you select something just hit delete and
it's gone another way you can trim your
clips in the timeline is the ripple edit
tool just select it and then when you
hover over the clip and drag it all the
way over it will trim and close that gap
at the same time okay what I use a lot
are shortcuts in this case um Q and W
what it does is when you have your
playhead for instance on this clip and
you want to delete that from the
beginning to the position of the play it
just hit Q and then it will delete that
part of the clip and close the
same thing at the end play head to the
end of the clip w and it will just
delete what's in between okay same thing
here let's say we want to trim right
before she's turning the head hit Q and
then boom okay and at the end we want to
trim it down just a little bit just like
that so these are pretty simple tools to
use in the timeline and work very
quickly when editing and trimming your
Clips another thing that you will do do
a lot and when working in your timeline
is actually rearranging Clips so let's
say you've got this one I maybe no
because yeah we want to move this clip
over right at this position so select
the clip hold down ctrl and alt or
command + option on a Mac and then start
dragging and just move it into place and
this indicator here will tell you that a
clip is being moved and this arrow will
tell you that is being moved only on
that track that's because of the alt or
option key and drop it and then you can
see boom and turning the head okay you
could also do that with multiple Clips
let's say may not make any sense but I
don't know a bunch of Clips here again
ctrl + alt or command an option on a Mac
start dragging and then bring them over
okay things are coming together we've
got a rough cut in place and now it's
time to spice things up a little bit by
adding some graphics and import some
motion graphics templates importing
motion graphics templates works a little
bit different from usual assets you will
be are gonna need the essential graphics
panel for that to access your panels go
to window
and here you can activate your panels
but instead of pushing our panels around
you can just use the workspace let's go
to window workspace is and here you will
find a couple of pre-made layouts
organized and here's graphics when you
hit graphics just in case you're sitting
in another layout this is your essential
graphics panel on the right side and
here at the lower right corner and this
icon it says install motion graphics
template
you click that icon again browse to your
asset kit and go do the mograph
templates folder double click let's
select I don't know the very first one
here and it will be imported to your
library right here and now you can drag
this to your timeline it will create
that graphic asset on your timeline and
as you can see this is sort of an awards
show animation that the author has
created and these mograph templates
always look different it depends on what
the designer the motion designer has
designed for you but he's giving you a
couple of parameters that you can
customize let's say you're clicking on
your asset right here under the Edit tab
you're going to see a couple of values
that you can change for instance the
global position or the text control at a
text number one it says award-winner
let's say best and then movie and as you
can see it will update in real time so
that's a good way to actually find those
motion graphics templates the asset kit
comes with a selection of motion
graphics templates but when you go to
the Browse tab and click on Adobe stock
which is in incorporate into Premiere
Pro seamlessly you have a ton of
pre-made motion graphics templates to
choose from you can cycle through these
pages and really that's so many
different styles that you can use for
you for this competition as well you
could also go to there's a bunch of free
templates you can use of course some of
them are paid and it always depends on
how complex they are but keep in mind
again they are always different the
parameters you can change are always
different different that's something
that the author has determined to be
editable to be customizable for the user
let's talk about sound effects for the
perfect movie trailer you have to have
you have to have the perfect sound mix
and for that I opened up that template
timeline of this teaser trailer and I
imported that audio track that we had
used in our initial edit this right here
and this timeline comes with a dialogue
track
my name is Sarah Connor never seen one
like you before right and now we're
gonna combine that with our music so
here's our sound score I'll drop that on
to it on our timeline
I'll move it into place just like this
nudge it over just a little bit and then
play it back almost human sounds good
but you might have noticed that the
dialogue and the music don't play well
together it's it's the music is way too
allowed name is Sarah Connor
you can't really hear what she's saying
so for that you there's a great function
that you can use and that's Auto duck
it's a very handy any function and we're
gonna move over to another workspace
it's called audio and here you have the
essential sound panel and this is
something that usually has been done by
hand by set by placing keyframes on that
audio file but now you can automate that
it's actually very accurate it's
incredible so click on this audio file
click on music and check ducking what
this does is it will automatically
detect language compared to the music
depending on your settings here it will
set keyframes where the volume is being
decreased by us by the amount that you
are setting here in the settings so
let's crank up the sensitivity just a
little bit up to all the way up to 8 and
the duct amount to maybe minus 10 and
the fades I don't know maybe 2 or 300
milliseconds something like this and
then generate keyframes so as you can
see Premiere Pro has generated keyframes
right around where dialogue has been
detected and let's play that back
my name is Sarah Connor never seen one
like you before almost human
Wow perfect it's really incredible how
accurate this is so one last thing I
want to talk about really briefly that's
color grading of course that's a very
complex topic there's professional
colourists out there but in Premiere Pro
it's actually really easy to give it a
new color look you could actually go
let's change the workspace here there's
a dedicated workspace for color grading
it's called color and we're back with
our luma tree color panel and then
Whedon you have a clip selected all
these settings are being activated and
these are a couple of tabs that are
gonna help you organize your color great
it's basic correction creative to apply
a lots pre-made Luntz so let's take it
step by step here in basic color
correction you can actually this is a
little dark here so let's increase the
exposure maybe something like this of
course it depends on your source footage
where unfortunately you're not gonna be
able to work with RAW files here so
there's a certain limit when you take it
too far you're gonna see artifacts it's
gonna fall apart
but actually I'm increasing the exposure
a little but it's going to work it can
change the temperature this is basically
pretty self-explanatory contrast
highlights increase or decrease the
shadows and things along those lines
then you can of course go into the
curves adjustment just like in Photoshop
and then adjust it from here instead of
doing this clip by clip you can use
adjustment layers to have the same color
grading across multiple clips in the
project panel right here let's open this
up a little bit here under this new item
icon click on that icon and then select
adjustment layer what this does is
anything that you apply to this
adjustment layer will affect any clip
that's below this adjustment layer so
let's drag this into our timeline and
now activate that adjustment layer
nothing changes here but now in the luma
tree panel when you do anything like ink
let's
over do that a little bit so you can see
the difference I don't know maybe
something like this and now and on the
creative tab let's apply one of these
pre-made Lutz primary Pro comes with a
whole bunch of nuts here and then maybe
select this one you can also in this
window cycle through this these
and then it will show you how it will
look like and when you double click it
will give you that LUT ok and as you can
see this has been applied to adjustment
layer and when we move forward
everything is going to look the same ok
so that's a very handy way to apply
color Corrections like this is a night
scene here and then at the day scene of
course it would be a very tedious task
to do that for each individual clip and
adjustment layers are a great way to do
that in one step and of course if you
have a look that you like you can click
on that adjustment layer and hold down
the alt or option key and then start
dragging it will duplicate that and then
take it from there ok
when you have your edits how do you
actually get it out of them out of the
timeline so you can set an in and out
point and this part will be then
exported hit ctrl M or go to file export
and media and then in this dialog again
it's it can get very complex but I would
suggest to use one of these presets
which is this one here and go to YouTube
of full HD and once you set a
destination on your output name click
export and export your timeline yes so
this should give you a quick overview
over the tools and techniques you might
want to use in this competition by Adobe
and paramount for terminator dark fade
and yeah it's video mark for Adobe if
you have any questions don't hesitate to
drop me a question on social media under
this handle video mark net and I hope
you found this overview helpful and I'll
see you in the next video
