Hey everybody its Premier Gal here and in this tutorial I'm going to be showing
you how to create that popular Now This social media style video there the
square videos with on-screen texts that are catchy with music and stock video
the thick text different colors you've seen style before so I've created a
template of this exact style that I'm calling the blah blah style I think it's
actually going to go down in the history books as the blah blah style we'll see
if it last going forward but yeah it's so interesting to me so I was like a lot
of people have asked me for this in tutorial requests so I thought you know
it'll make a template if you guys don't want to watch how to create this full
tutorial cuz it is a longer tutorial here you can just go to my store link in
the description box below to purchase it
all right so I'm inside of Premiere Pro CC 2017 and I have here a new sequence
that I've created and I've already laid out the footage from pond5 by the way
you can get 10% off clips from pond5 or templates using my code PremiereGal10
but it does expire on the 20th so just one day left just an FYI so let me just
play these clips here I have some a little background music that I got from
audio network music so it's just this little koala sleeping and then waking up
and eating the eucalyptus super cute and then at the end I have another shot of
it on a tree again so as you see inside of the program viewer I have a little
text here and it says source and I just put pond5 premiere pup is drinking water
sorry about that so all of now this basically has that sort of like source
footage so the way that I created that you can see in my sequence here I have a
layer called source pond5 and all I did was I created text
in the essential graphics panel using the type tool rather than having
it be horizontal I just changed the rotation to be minus 90 and then of
course the iconic now this logo I made as blah blah in the upper right hand
corner and the same thing I use the essential graphics panel and I drew two
rectangles and each rectangle I filled it black and then I also added a 15
stroke width to each shape and duplicated that and then I just created
a text in Helvetica new bold around 60 font size now it's time to add the
on-screen text so usually with now this style videos or social media videos in
general you want to start with a fact that will be like oh that's interesting
so actually the Australia the Australian koala foundation has a bunch of facts on
koalas and actually they need to sleep 18 spike
sorry about that premiere pup they need to actually sleep 18 to 22 hours a day
so I was like that's a fun fact why don't I hot start it off with the Koala
just sleeping and we'll add that fun fact so let's go ahead and use the type
tool click on the type tool and then I'm just going to click on the program
viewer and type out and then use all caps because the now this style uses all
caps but it really just depends on what you want to go for so with the now this
style to make this better you can highlight command A (ctrl A) select all of the
text let's center it over here center the text and then we can align it to be
in the center and let's make it a little bit bigger let's make it about 90 and
then we can bring it down just a tad using the selection tool down just a tad
and now there's also a drop shadow usually so let's go ahead and create a
shadow there and let's maybe increase it to about
eight that looks good so now it really is contrasty and you like that but we
want to maybe make the 18 to 20 stand out so we can actually change the color
of just that text here let's just make it the bright yellow that now this likes
to use I was like a neon color so that's how you create that's sort of now this
text now if you're like where is this text actually it it created it above
this layer so I'm just going to bring this down to video layer three here and
so now like you can just duplicate this layer what I do is I hold option alt and
click and drag that text layer over and let go and it just duplicated it and I'm
going to do that again and so you can duplicate it as many times as you want
and then you can add in your new text so here I'm going to just type out blah
blah blah blah so you get the idea you can go in and add in your own text to
tell the story right so really you just need to identify what facts what little
tidbits of information do you want but the idea of this video is I'm showing
you the style right you just want like a thicker text with a darker drop shadows
so you can contrast but there's animations as well so I love film impact
transitions I use this push animation and it saves me a lot of time so for
example in this first bit here if I wanted this text to animate from the
bottom to the current location I would just go under my effects and go to film
impact and I love the push where it here it is I love the push and
just drag and drop it on there and what's great about the push is that
you can actually change it to animate up from down so then it will animate on
screen like so and you don't have to keyframe and then you can copy by
hitting command C (ctrl C) that transition and then hit command V (ctrl V) to paste it on the
end and then you can change that to be down you can apply those transitions to
each text element on your sequence
