Today we've got another cool masking tutorial for Premiere Pro,
so you can take a shot like this - and just using the masking tool
you can make it into a cool effect, just like this so let's get into it!
Hey there welcome to the video i'm Mark Brown from Editors Keys and if you're new here consider
subscribing if you're into video editing or Adobe Premiere Pro. Now in this video we're
going to show you a really cool masking tutorial that allows you to replace the screen of a tv
and this is really good if you're doing maybe a music video a promotional video or if you just
want to use it for your youtube content it's quite easy to do as well so let's jump into premiere and
i'll show you how it works so the first thing to do is make sure that the shot of the tv
was shot on a tripod because it really is much easier to work with if the shot of the tv is
moving in any way or it's a handheld shot it's going to be super hard and a lot longer to do
making it static will save you a ton of time and it's definitely the best place to start if you're
learning these techniques for the first time so get your shot of the tv and the first thing
you want to do is draw a mask around the screen click on the clip and then go to opacity here
and then click the draw icon now because the screen is quite curved hold down the mouse
to make sure you can curve the points now do this until you've done the whole screen now you'll see
the rest of the shot has gone black now of course you don't want this so go back over to opacity
and then simply click inverted now when it's all been fine-tuned and you feel happy with it just
add a little bit of feathering to smoothing off the edges now feathering if you're new is just a
simple way to make the lines look a lot less harsh now drag this clip onto this section above and
then get your other clip and place it beneath the clip and resize it to fit your screen how you want
now this looks okay but it does look a bit unnatural to make this better the signal clip
had some tv static so we can actually utilize this duplicate the tv clip and place it above like so
hold down alt on a mac to copy and now just delete the mask off this clip
then lower the opacity to around about 10 and then there you go however like this example
if the mask isn't exactly perfect like here you can add your tv noise and grain using the preset
already built into premiere pro so delete this select your button clip and then we're going to
search noise in the effects panel and drag this onto the clip you can then play around with the
amount of noise you want using this here and just get it looking right as this is quite an
old looking tv you can add some color effects to give it that vhs kind of vibe go to your effects
panel again and search for an effect called arithmetic and then drag this onto your clip
scroll down to your options and then play around with these three colors add some green and red
and just play around with it and there you go you've now got a realistic looking tv replacement
if you have a shot of a tv where it's on a bit of an angle like this
search for an effect called basic 3d drag it onto your clip and then play around
with these options here to fit the angle of the tv obviously you're going to have to do some
real fine-tuning to get it absolutely perfect so just make sure you take your time with it
so there we go that's a really simple masking technique and it's a good way
of adding little effects to your videos if you've got any questions about that let me know in the
comments section below i'd love to hear from you and as always i promise we do get back to
every single question asked and remember if you want to see any more premiere tutorials we've got
