Hey, everyone, Kelsey, here and welcome back to Gal.
Today, I'm going to be showing you six different before and after effects
that you can apply to your footage to create a beautiful transformation.
So if you're an interior designer or, let's say, a makeup artist
or anybody that requires some sort of transformational reveal,
these effects will make your video look more dynamic.
So I'm going to break down each effect inside of Premiere Pro.
But before we jump in, I want to thank today's sponsor motion can.
So Motion Can is the creator of my favorite graphics pack for Premiere Pro.
It's just called graphics pack, and you can purchase it from Envato Market.
You might also know it as a videohive, and the reason why I love it
is that all of the motion graphics inside of the pack
are nicely organized inside of a panel, so you can just browse the different
categories from kinetic titles, transitions to different glitch elements.
And you can just click apply and it will apply to the timeline
and sound effects are included as well.
In the best part is is that all of the graphics are responsive
to whatever resolution that you're working in and any duration
time changes that you make.
So if you want to purchase the graphics pack,
you can use my affiliate link below and help support the channel,
and you can buy a version for After Effects and Premiere or Final Cut Pro.
Without further
ado, at the time, codes are below, and let's go ahead and jump into Premiere.
So for this demo, I'm using footage from Art Grid, and the reason I love
our grid is that you can download the raw original file so raw or log,
which is kind of a milky texture so you can color grade how you want.
So for this, I'm doing before and after the color grid, so on.
VIDEO layer one, it's the clip, the exact same clip,
but in the log format and then on top is the graded version.
If you're interested in learning how to grade log footage,
you can click up here to watch my full tutorial.
So it's important that they're stacked on top of each other here
because you want them to play at the exact same time,
because these are the same clips.
So if you have a photo, for example, you'll want to make sure that the framing
is in the exact same framing.
So put the tripod in the same place.
Press record or take a photo.
And then, after the transformation, put it in the exact same place
and take a photo and have the same framing.
So that way, these effects will look a lot better.
So there's a little bit you have to do in production before you go into post.
All right, so the WIPE GO TO effects, search for wipe and down here
underneath the wipe category, you'll find this wipe transition.
We're going to drag and drop it onto the clip here
and now we'll have
this basic wipe and you'll notice that it's already started here.
In the beginning, what we need to do is actually roll this in just slightly.
So that way you get the full effect and to make it longer.
You can click on the end of the transition and roll it out
to make it a little bit slower of a wipe.
So I think that this works just fine, but it's kind of hard to see this line.
So to make it more obvious, I like to go into effect controls,
make sure that you have
the transition selected, and I like to add a border width for this.
I'm going to choose 15 and change the color.
To White.
So now we have our nice
white reveal, and it's easy to see the wipe with this white border.
But what if you want it to loop?
So for example, if you want to export this is a video or as a GIF
that you can embed on your website to show a before and after loop.
So what you can do is you can take this white transition.
Copy it.
By pressing a command sea or control sea on a PC
and then placing it Command V or Control
V, and then we're just going to roll in the end a little bit.
So there's a little bit of the before clip at the end,
and now we need to reverse it by clicking on this reverse.
So if you're a fan of Missy Elliott yet,
but budget thing down, flip it and reverse that it's your weapon.
No plan yet. My name is Vince,
but it
is a little slow, so I'm going to actually just shorten these clips
a little bit here because it's a little slow
and I want the wipes to almost meet by extending them out.
So it's almost like an immediate wipe back and forth.
And then here I'm going to press oh, as an outpoint, and I'm
going to make sure that the loop playback button is on to make sure it's blue.
So this is what the loop looks like.
Here we go.
So what you can do is you can just export this
as an MP for movie file and actually use an app called GIF Ski.
That's completely free
and you can just drag that file and it creates a really fast GIF.
You can also export a GIF and Premiere Pro,
but it takes a little bit more work to try to find the right settings.
So it's not a huge file, so I recommend using GIFs Ski instead.
If you want to add before and after text
as the wipe is happening, this is what you can do.
You can select the text type tool here and here.
Let's just type out before
and then I can duplicate this graphic, so let's roll
it to meet the exact length of the before clip.
Below, we can move the wipe on top and move before below that,
and then we can duplicate the before text by pressing Alt on a PC
or option on a Mac and drag this up and we can
then call this after.
And we can then use this position alignment
controls to move this over to the after side.
Now with the after clip, we need to roll this
and to meet the duration of the video clip two and then copy these wipes
so command, see or control see and then control v
and then copy this one and paste it.
And now when we play it back, you can see that after
text is also revealed in the before as well.
So it actually works really nicely.
So that's how you can add text to it.
So that's the first way.
And then the second one is also a built in effect.
It's the barn door transition.
And a lot of people think the barn door transition is quite cheesy.
It's not used very often, but it actually works
well when you're trying to reveal a before and after effect.
So the same thing we're going to go to effects and search for barn doors
and drag and drop this onto the after clip here.
Then we
can extend the duration and give it a little bit of space in the beginning.
And here's the barn door effect.
I would also recommend adding a border.
So if you go to a controls, we can add 1515 border width
and create a white.
A border color, and this is how it looks.
So it works, it works pretty nicely, and if you want to tax here,
you would follow the exact same steps that I showed you
when adding text to the basic wipe.
The next one is my favorite.
It's the gradient wipe transition, and this one works a little bit differently.
So we're going to go up to effects and search for a gradient wipe.
Now we're not going to choose this wipe, but this one instead.
So select this and drag it onto the clip.
Not at the beginning of the clip.
And now we're going to roll the play, head to the beginning gob
to effect controls and from transition completeness.
We want this to start at 100%.
And then we can select
the toggle animation to create a key frame.
So this means that the transition is complete and we see that
before underneath.
And now we can just go forward to when we want the transition
to end and bring this down to zero.
Now, when we play this back, it kind of looks like a luma fade,
but it looks kind of choppy around the edges.
So I'm going to smoothen that out by changing this to around 70.
And it just
makes it more smooth so you can play around with the slider
until you can see when it starts to not be smooth anymore.
See how rough it is.
So you can play around with the smoothness level and we can also
right click on the end key frame and ease end so it's
more smooth and now we can play it back.
And it's just this beautiful.
You know, coming to life of the image, and I really think that this is unique
and it's completely built in, a lot of people don't know about this effect.
And I think it's great.
So if you want it to be longer, you can roll it out.
So it's longer and we can press enter to render it out if you need to.
But I have my playback at a quarter resolution.
This is 4K footage and it plays pretty well without rendering it.
A beautiful gradient wipe.
So that's number three.
Now let's go on to number four, the split screen.
So the split screen works exactly the same, but instead what we're
going to be doing is cutting it in half, so we need to know the halfway point.
So to do that, it's easier to have the rulers visible.
If you don't see the rulers visible,
make sure that your program window is selected.
Go up to view and show rulers, and then you can click
on the left ruler here and drag out a guide
and you can put it at the exact halfway Pixel Point.
So this particular footage is 4096 pixels.
It's 4K footage and the half way is 2048.
So I can right click here on this, go back to the selection tool.
I can right click on this guide and hit Edit Guide.
And now I can type in exactly 2048 because I know that that's the halfway point.
And now this top clip, the after clip.
We can move this over using the effect controls,
so it fits exactly inside of this halfway.
And then we need to apply a crop so we can go up to effects and go to crop.
And apply the
crop ban, but a bam and then go to effect controls and using the left
crop, we're going to roll the left to meet that halfway point.
Just like that, it's a little sensitive.
There we go. That looks good.
And then the bottom one is just easy.
Select it and move the position over
until it looks almost identical on the left.
So now we have the before on the left, in the after, on the right.
Now we can just remove this center point, drag it over to the left and it's gone.
And if you want to add a rectangular line here, we can actually go down here
to the toolbar and choose rectangle tool,
and then we can click and create a thin,
rectangular line just like that.
I think that looks good.
Make sure it is exactly in the right position by using the line tools.
That looks good.
And now we have a before and after and move this graphic
line over, so it aligns with the footage below.
So that's what it looks like.
And if you want to add some cool animated before and after text, this is where
we can actually use the Motion Bro panel here.
And as I mentioned from the beginning, there's so many different cool
elements here shape elements, titles,
there's devices, logo reveals.
There's so much here
inside of the Motion Can graphics pack, but I'm going to use the titles here
and then you can scroll down and preview all of the titles to choose
which one you want to use for your before and after text.
So that way you don't have to create any animation.
You can just choose what's available here.
This one is good, so I'm going to apply this
and it will apply it at the play head.
So if we want it in the beginning, we can just drag it over
and we can also just roll this in and it will respond.
The animation will end at the clip now, so it's responsive design.
So here we can use effect controls.
All this is is a Mowatt file, so we can use this here to just change
this to before, for example, and change the line width.
And we also want to change the font, I think, to monserrat light
or let's say, italic.
Let's try to
click and adjust the width, and then the scale
can drop this down.
And then we can duplicate this
by hitting the alt key or the option key on a Mac.
And let's change this to after.
And then move this position over like that.
So we have after and we have this nice before and after split screen.
If you want the template version of this
where you can just drag and drop your media
in, you don't have to add the crop effect or use the rulers.
I've made this double split screen
available for free to my patrons, which I've linked to down below.
So now there's two more transitions that I want to show you that do require
plug ins.
So this one is by Film Impact.
Film Impact has great transitions, and you can actually get 30 days free
using my link below.
But if you decide to purchase, you can use my code Premiere Gal
ten to get 10% off so they have some great WIP transitions.
I'm just going to search wipe
and you will see that there's a few film impact Transformers.
So the first one I want to show you
is the stretch wipe, so you can drag and drop this on the clip.
And what's great about it is they function just like built in transitions.
You just drag and drop them, which is rare to find in the plug in community.
So I'm just going to drag this over.
A little bit of the playback is slow.
You can always render it out, but this is what it looks like.
And what's really cool about the film impact transitions is that there's
a lot more customization, so here we can change the angle.
If we want it to be a 45 degrees, it'll go from the top right corner down,
which is really cool, and you can play around with the exposure
level of the actual stretch.
So if you want it to be brighter, you can break not up if you need to.
Or better yet, you can choose surprise me and it will create a completely random
wipe transition and some of them look pretty cool.
This one's a little strange, but let's try surprised me again.
And let's see how that looks.
All right, sometimes a surprise me works,
sometimes I just end up going back to the original.
There's one more that's really cool.
It is called the plateau wipes.
I'm going to drag and drop that here in the plateau is almost like it's
animating in and kind of scaling the image and like a magical wipe.
So that's another option, and there's a few others
that you can play around with.
There's a ton of transitions in film impact.
And the last one I want to show you is the top cursor seamless transition.
This is where I'm going to use a plug in from a juice, their pack
seamless transition.
So if I go to Juice Park Manager, it'll load up this panel here
and you can see that I have seamless transitions loaded up and there's
a bunch of different categories you can play with.
This particular one has a mouse cursor and it's like it's pulling it down,
and I think it's really cool.
So we can do is decide where we want the transition to take place.
Let's say here, and let's roll this clip in
and then back to juice.
And then here, let's say we want to use this one.
We can just double click to apply it,
and it will import the files exactly at our play head here.
And that's what it looks like you can see the little mouse here.
It's like it's pushing it up and yeah, it's just a more dynamic way
of having a transition between two shots, and it comes with a sound effect.
So those are the six different ways
that you can create dynamic before and afters and your videos.
