Hey Everyone, Kelsey here.
And welcome back to Gal
Today I am showing you
a really cool lyric video effect
that's inspired by Sia's
official lyric video for Cheap Thrills.
It's kind of this old TV
and kind of an old timey film look.
And the text rolling up
at the bottom of the frame.
So what I'm going to be
showing you how to do in this video
is how to create your own TV mask,
how to create distortion
on top of the real footage
that you've shot in color, most likely,
and how to make it
kind of look old timey.
And then I'll show you
how to animate the Texan in a way
that will allow you to duplicate it
and make it really easy
to extend the animation.
So the footage and the music provided
for this video is from Storyblocks
Who sponsored today's video?
And I will tell you more
about why I think Storyblocks is awesome
for video creators
later on in this video.
But for now,
you can go ahead
and see the timecode
down below to jump around
to different parts
of the video to review.
Let's go ahead and jump
into the tutorial.
So here my timeline.
I have the full color stock video clip
from story blocks of these girls dancing.
And let's first start
with creating the analog
TV shape, using a mask.
So to do that, let's go to new item
and create a color
that will keep it in black
as we want our border to be black.
So now drag this color matte
from the project panel into our timeline
and stack it on top of our video footage.
So this is going to be the layer
that we're going to add a mask to,
to create a mask, go to effect controls
in underneath opacity,
you will find a pen.
This is the pen tool that you will use
to draw a mask over the program window
rather than just clicking
and drawing the mask by hand,
which can be more difficult to do.
What we can do is take a
screenshot from syas video
and then we can import that
into our project panel.
Then drag the screenshot
on top of our video layer here
and we can use this to trace our mask.
So now go back to select
our color matte layer,
because this is the layer.
We're going to be drawing a mask
on, then go to effect controls
and let's use the pen tool
to click to make our first point
on the first upper corner on the left.
Then we will click on
the end of this first corner,
but click and hold
to make it a curved edge
along the T v line.
And then just click along this outline
and when you click and hold, you're
always going to make a curved line.
So once it's complete,
we can always go back
and make adjustments
to the handles of these curved lines
so it better lines up with the TV shape.
And now we can just delete the screenshot
layer as just sort of outracing layer.
It's no longer useful
and we can go back to the mat layer
and invert the mask.
So now we can see
the video inside of the mask
and you can also increase the feathering
if you want to have more feathering
on the inside of the mask.
But I'm going to keep mine at ten
and for organization.
Let's go ahead and right.
Click on this color mat
layer in the timeline
and let's rename it to TV Mask.
And now we can go on to adding
color effects and distortion
to the video clip to make it
look more old timey.
Let's go to the project panel and right
click to create a new adjustment layer.
Let's drag this adjustment
layer on top of our TV mask.
And with the adjustment layer
selected, let's start with color.
Go to the metric color
panel in here from Creative.
Let's use one of the creative looks.
I'm going to select the monochrome Kodak
five two zero five
Fuji from the dropdown.
And it creates a nice
black and white image
for us to work with next,
because older footage
is not as sharp as for Kate.
We want it to look a little bit
more blurry, not completely sharp.
So this is where
we're going to add a blur,
go to effects and search
for Goshi and Blu.
Let's drag it onto our adjustment layer
from the controls.
You can play around
with the blurriness level
until you get it just right.
I'm going to get mine at seven
just so it's not too blurry
now for organization. Right.
Click on this adjustment
layer and let's call it
black and white plus Blu
so that we know what it is next.
We want to add some noise
to our video footage to give it
a little bit more distortion.
So this is where we can drag
in another adjustment layer.
You can drag the exact
same adjustment layer
and plop it into the timeline.
Now we want the adjustment layer
to be below the TV mask
because we don't want the noise
to affect the black matte right.
Just the video footage
inside of the TV mask.
And now it's like the noise effect,
which is underneath the noise
in green folder in drag
and drop this effect on our noise
adjustment layer
and then you can increase
the amount of noise that you want.
I'll have mine at around 30 percent
if you want to add some film distortion.
In addition to the noise,
you can download a lot of really cool
ifilm distortion
overlays from storage blocks,
you can just go there and search for it,
download it in drag
and drop it on top of your footage.
And you can play around
with the blend modes until it
perfectly blends in with your footage.
Of course, this is completely optional,
but it's nice if you really
want to add some cool
film damage and overlays
on top of the footage
to make it look more old
now that this noise effect
is applied in order for it to preview
properly, it needs to be rendered out.
But because we don't
need to render it yet,
because we still need to make the lyrics.
This is why I recommend temporarily
turning off the effect of the noise
so that way you can have easy
playback as you create the lyrics.
So now to create the lyrics,
you're just going to
click on the type tool
and click on the program window
and type out your lyrics.
In our case, I'm going to type out
you and me together,
which is the first line in the song,
by the way, is called Together by Near
Then Me from the Storybooks Library
so you can use any font that you want.
I'm using this font called I'm So D.W.
Peka, which is an Adobe font,
and once it's set in place,
you can centerline the text
and make sure it's centered in the frame
and you can use the position, controls
the vertical position to lower it down
where the captions would
normally be on the TV.
So I'm going to move this text
layer below the TV mask
and the noise layers in the timeline.
So that way the effects
are applied to the text.
Also now we're going to add
kind of a curvature to the text.
So that way it looks like it's
more naturally on a TV screen.
So to do that,
you're going to go to effects
and search for an effect
called lens distortion drag
and drop it to apply it
on our text layer in the timeline.
Now from effect controls,
use the curvature slider
to add more of a slight curve.
In my case,
I'm going to move it to around 50
or 60 between those numbers.
So that way it's a perfect curve
for this screen.
Now, this will also
affect the teched size.
So you might need to go in
and make adjustments to the text position
and scale again.
And once it's in place now
we can do the animation.
So let's
go ahead and turn on the stopwatch
to create our first key frame
as part of our intro animation.
Then pull the play head
back to the beginning of this text clip
and then move the text off
screen using the position controls.
Now, remember to make sure
that the text layer
is below the TV mask layer, so that way
it looks like it's going up
off of the TV screen.
Next, we want this text to animate up
and then disappear.
To do that,
we need to create another mask
using the pen tool
just above the text as a rectangle.
You'll notice that as I am
making the mask, that I'm also making
a curved line above the text.
So that way, as it goes off screen,
it will have a natural curvature.
So we're going to insert the mask as well
and now we can activate it up.
So first, select the keyframe
icon for the moment.
We want the animation to start,
then move the play
head to the end of the clip
and let's move the
vertical position of the text up.
And as we move it up, we'll see it
disappears behind the mask.
And now this is the cool part.
We can make this animation responsive
to how long it should be on screen.
So from effect controls, you can see
that this animation handle,
you can pull it out
to encompass the entire key frame.
So it's kind of like a placeholder
just for those in Turkey frames.
And you can do the same
for the outer animation handle.
Now, when you go and look at the timeline
of this text layer,
you'll see that there's
these white animation handles.
And as we extend out this graphics layer
to make it longer or shorter,
you can see that
these handles remain the same.
And Adobe likes to refer
to this responsiveness
as taffet time like the candy toffy.
You can stretch it out
and pull it back in in the ends
remain the same.
So this is very useful
because in this case,
the lyrics were always going
to change the duration right throughout.
So now we can duplicate this text layer
as many times as we want
and place it along, write lyrics.
So let me show you how to do that
to duplicate the layer, hold the option
key on a map or the alt canopic and click
and drag it up
to duplicate the text layer
and then we can stagger
the graphic layers.
So that way the second line
comes in as the first goes out.
So that way it's like a
roll up replacement.
As we saw in the C video,
where it rolls up in the second
one comes up at the same time.
Then you can go in and replace the text
using the essential graphics panel,
just typing in the new lyrical line,
and then you can adjust it
to the exact time
that the lyrics are being said.
Just by pulling out
the end of the text layer,
then you can repeat this process
until all of the lyrics are done
and then you can turn back
on that noise effect on the new.
Layer that we created
earlier render it out
and this is the complete video effect
that you will get today.
So what I've done is
I've actually turned this into a template
that you can purchase from my store
as an old time lyric video effect.
It doesn't have to be
just for lyric videos.
You can also use this effect
for any video that you are making.
And if you're a patron,
you can get this template for free
just by signing up.
And I've put all the links down below
and I hope that it's a useful
starting point so that what you don't
have to make the whole mask.
You don't have to do all the animation.
All you have to do
is duplicate that text layer
and type in your own text,
making it super easy.
So now I want to tell you about today,
today's sponsor Storyblocks
So Storyblocks is a super affordable,
creative marketplace where you can get
unlimited downloads for video,
photo and audio assets.
And what I really like about Storyblocks
is that they're really making
an effort to diversify
and make really authentic footage
available to creators.
Because, you know,
when you think of stock footage,
sometimes what you get
is kind of cookie cutter,
primarily Caucasian,
kind of cliche and like cheesy shots.
Right.
It's not really accurate
to everyday life.
So what they've done is
they've actually started hiring
filmmakers that focus on creating more
authentic versions of everyday life
and more diverse shots as well.
So you get a lot of people
of color, indigenous shots,
LGBTQ collections.
And so myself as a video, pretend
like this is awesome.
So I can start using more
authentic shots in my videos
and not just like some business guy
jumping in the air
with a bunch of movie falling,
which is just very stereotypical.
And, you know, we don't want to just keep
seeing those same images coming up.
So I put a link in the
description box below that goes directly
to these collections
that you can start using.
And in addition to that,
they also have templates.
So depending on what plan you get,
you can get the all encompassing plan,
which you can get access
to audio images and video,
but you can get a video
only plan as well,
where you can access the After Effects
template, such as Loga reveals
and lower thirds as well.
So I think it's in the description
box below.
Thank you so much, Mystery Box,
for sponsoring today's video.
And I hope you found this lyric video
tutorial useful.
Remember to leave a comment below
and let me know what other type of lyric
video effects that you want to learn
in the next video.
For example,
Ed Sheeran has this lyric video
with these cool paint brush strokes.
So if you want to learn how to do that,
be sure to give this video a thumbs up.
And let's try to reach a thousand
likes this month.
And then I will know for sure
you guys want more lyric style
videos and per usual,
keep creating better video with Gal by.
You and me, together,
we could do anything, anything.
You and me, together we could be in.
