What's up everybody, Peter McKinnon here
and welcome back to yet another two minute Tuesday.
It's so great to have you here
and see all of your...
Smiling faces.
Today, we are talking about a very unique tip,
little trick in Premier Pro to help you go the extra mile.
Now what I mean by go the extra mile,
I just mean, like sometimes in your work,
you can just do a little, something that's just
so small, it might not make a huge difference
in your overall project but as a whole,
when you add those little things together
and do them more and more and more,
you work becomes more polished,
you become a better artist
and your stuff just ends up being more thoughtful
and that's what you wanna do.
You wanna make thoughtful films,
thoughtful videos, take thoughtful photos,
stuff that we go the extra mile for.
It's like, are you gonna wake up for sunrise
so that you can shoot sunrise
or you're gonna sleep through it every single day.
Are you gonna stay up late or past sunset
so you can get some of those night-time photos.
You gonna go the extra mile
to make sure you get those banger shots
and that's usually how great art comes to be.
That's usually how you capture the best photos.
You get up early, you go the extra mile,
you make better videos because you put more time
into the small things that some people might forget
but you, you don't forget.
And today, I certainly haven't forgotten.
And we're talking about something called corner pin.
Some of you may be like, oh you mean that little thing
that lets you warp around the sides of videos?
Yes, that's exactly what I mean
and here's an example of going the extra mile.
Let's say I screen share something
and I wanna throw it up on the screen as an example,
or a tutorial or I just want some kind
of video happening in the background,
corner pin's gonna let you manipulate those corners
so you can fit video or photos onto any surface.
Be it, a monitor sitting in the background,
a picture of a camera that you took.
A TV in an airport
that's displaying maybe you're vlogs
instead of the news while you're standing there talking
about something.
Those little things, like in the last video
when I sneezed and coughed and the screen shook,
it's those little things, those little details
that people appreciate and you're gonna start doing them.
So check this out, we're gonna head over to my desk.
I'm gonna make this a little more clear for you
but before we do that, let's throw two minutes on the clock.
Let's go.
Here's an example of how I use corner pin.
When I do a screen share, when I have any type of video
that I wanna show you that's vertical
or a photo that I wanna show you,
instead sometimes of just putting it right up on the screen,
I like to kind of superimpose it onto my iPhone
or superimpose it onto the back of a DSLR
or anything that has a monitor that you want
to superimpose you video onto.
Corner pin just allows you to manually adjust those corners
to wherever you want so that you can make it fit.
And the perspective of that video looks
like it might actually be coming from your phone.
So when I did some screen sharing the other day
and I was showing you how I was editing photos on my iPhone,
a lot of people were like, wait
how are you moving around the sliders
without actually touching them.
What is this magic.
It was just corner pin.
So what you're gonna do first,
you're just gonna take a photo of whatever you want
to superimpose this video onto.
Here's an example of that.
So once you have the photo
that you're gonna superimpose your video onto
and you have the video itself
that you want to have on the photo,
drag both of those things into your project files
and then we're gonna drag them both onto our timeline.
Make sure that photo is scaled the size of your timeline
so that it fits the frame
and then grab the video and scale that down
to the appropriate size so it matches the size of the iPhone
or it matches the size of the monitor
or it matches the size of the DSLR.
Whatever you're trying to superimpose it onto.
How many times have I said superimpose now,
it's out of hand.
Now it's as easy as going to the effects panel,
typing in corner pin, drag that effect to the video file,
go back over to your effects panel
and just manipulate those corners.
Drag those corners to the edges of the screen
or the DSLR screen or, like we've said,
whatever you're superimposing that video to
and that's it.
That's going the extra mile.
So instead of just having a talking head sequence like this
and I'm like, oh check out this photo from my camera
or check out this screen share from my mobile phone
and it just pops up right here,
now we've got a nice visual that pops up on the screen
and the video is superimposed onto it.
And it's just, it just looks better.
Looks like you care, it looks like you put in the work.
And those are the types of things that I just love to do.
So that's it, it's super easy.
It's just one of those nice effects to have in your tool bag
and you know, you can never have enough of them.
So that's it from me guys.
Hope you liked this video.
Again, I want you guys to think about the little details
whenever you are out there making art, okay, So that's it.
Hit that like button if you liked this video.
Smash it 2018 style
and there's only 126 days left of 2018.
Actually, there's 126 days left till Christmas
but who's counting?
Not me. (laughs)
Subscribe if you aren't already
and I will see you guys on Thursday, I hope,
I think so, it's a good chance that you'll, goodbye.
