In today's video, I'm going to show you
how to apply a really cool Fish
eye lens effect on your footage
in this video sponsored by LICKD.
I will tell you more about them later on.
For now, let's jump into Premiere Pro.
So you see,
I have the footage and music
in my timeline here.
Yeah, yeah.
And I want to apply a fisheye effect.
First, I'm
going to go over here
to the negative space control click.
And first,
we're going to create a black matte.
You can use black video or color matte.
It doesn't matter.
So I'm going to press.
Okay, and choose the block color. Okay.
And then we're going to drag and drop
this mat on top of the footage
and extend it out.
The next thing we need to do
is go up to effect
controls and click on that
create ellipse mask.
And from here we can then invert the mask
and then you can hover
over the edge, press shift
and scale it up.
And then I will click
for the hand
tool to make sure that it's centered
on either side
and we can go over to the mask feather
and increase this up to around 40.
So we have a little bit of
feathering around the edges.
This is looking pretty good so far.
What next? Wow.
All right.
So now the fun part with the effects.
So the mask looks great.
Now we're going to move up the color map
to video layer three.
And from the product panel,
I'm going to control click again
and create an adjustment layer.
And then we're going to drag
and drop this adjustment
layer on to video layer two.
The first effect
that we're going to apply
is the sphere eye's effect.
So from Effects, search for sphere eyes
and double click to apply it from sphere
eyes, let's increase
the radius
and you're going to have to increase it
a lot until you see the effect happen.
We want it to just hit
the edges of the mass
right around here is fine.
You can see the center point is here,
which is what we want next.
We're going to go search
for lens distortion
and you're going to use the built
in one underneath
the start double click to apply it.
And here
we can play around with the curvature.
There's click and drag
to create some curves.
Now we need to scale it up
because we don't want the white
in the background here.
So to do that,
rather than going up to motion
since this won't affect
the footage beneath
because it's an adjustment layer,
we actually need to go and apply
the transform effect
double click to apply it to the clip
and then we can scale up the clip
using these parameters,
scale it up
until it fits perfectly in frame.
Now it looks nice and distorted.
So we can go back to these
other clips here
and you may need to go down
to the clip level
and realign it into place
depending on each clip.
So you can go through all the clips
and you can realign it until it looks.
Right now
we can add a guardian blur to the edges
to give it more of that fisheye look.
So select
the adjustment layer
and go to Gaussian blur
and double click to apply it.
And here
we're going to apply
another ellipse mask
and this time we're going to scale it up.
So again, hover on the edge, press shift
and scale it up,
and then we're going
to increase the blurriness.
But remember, we want it to be inverted.
And then from there
we can add some feathering around 60
and see the before and the after.
So it adds
just like a slight blur around the edges.
So you can play around with how much
feathering you want.
And the next effect is a plug in.
So it is optional,
but it's called the basic prism effect,
which is part of Boris effects continuum.
Select the adjustment layer
when I search for BBC
PRISM and double click to apply it.
Now this is going to add a little RGV
split prism effects.
You can see there's the before and after
and it just makes it
a bit more distorted.
That's how you can create this
really cool, easy fisheye effect.
And so this is how the
final effect looks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All the crazy shit I did to guys.
And one thing to note
is that you can apply the effects
at the clip level.
You don't have
to use the adjustment layer,
but I find using the adjustment
layer to be easier
because if you have a strip of clips
like I do here,
all of the effects will be applied
to the clips.
Beneath the adjustment
layer, it's just faster.
So as you probably heard,
I was using David
Guetta song Memories in the background
of that Fish Island montage.
So how was I able to use that track
without getting demonetized
or the video getting taken down?
Well, this is where you can use LICKD
So what you can do is
you can sign up for a click plan, connect
to your YouTube channel
and be able to purchase licenses
to these popular mainstream tracks
that you love.
In addition to the main stream tracks
which you pay per license per track,
you can also access for a monthly fee
unlimited stock music.
So if you want to be able
to find some core background tracks
that maybe aren't
the chart mainstream music,
they have that option as well.
So if you want to get a discount
on your first truck,
you can use my link below.
You can also get 14 days
free of their stock music
to use in your YouTube videos.
What's also cool
when you're browsing the library,
you can sort by what's popular on Spotify
or what's popular on YouTube,
so you can see what types of tracks
are currently trending.
And then
you can search by mood, theme,
genre, length, tempo,
and you can also filter
by target platforms.
So if you
don't want to use it on YouTube,
but you want to use it on Facebook
or Instagram, for example,
you can filter by
what can be used on Instagram
and go from there.
Another useful tip is
sometimes I want to use
popular mainstream music,
but the instrumental versions
so you can go up here
and select instrumental
and from here
you can go over
and you can search the popular songs
that you can use
that are instrumental, mainstream,
and that can be used on Instagram,
for example,
if you have any questions about
like we should leave a comment below
and you can also click right here to go
check it out
and sign up for your own plan.

That's all for today's video.
Thanks so much for watching.
And as always, keep creating better video
where the go see you next time by.
