A few days ago
Adobe released a new update of the Creative Cloud suite.
And with that, Adobe Premiere introduced some new features for us to use.
We've got motion graphics. We've got Essential Sound tools now.
But in this video I'm going to actually show you how the Essential Graphics work
and how you can start to use them.
So, once you've updated Premiere, if you've already updated Premiere
you'll see that you've now got this Graphics tab in your workspace.
When you click on that you'll be presented with a list of new titles
and graphics
and you can just select any of these
and you can also create your own and I will show you how to do that a little bit later on.
So you've got different presets
so if I just go into Titles, for example
and select, maybe, Film Title
drag it over on to my timeline, it will load the graphic
and then you'll see that your title appears on the timeline.
If you play through the timeline, you'll see that the titles are animated.
And that is exactly what the Essential Graphics does
and it's also something that you can create for yourself.
So, I'll show you how to actually edit this.
If you select the title on your timeline
and you come over to the Editing panel in your workspace
You'll see that you've got this new Type tool in there.
So once you select that, you'll be able to directly edit the title on the timeline.
So, I'm just going to call this Dubai
and in this one, Riding the Metro.
And that is literally all you need to do.
You'll see over in the editing panel
that you'll have all these effects applied to the preset itself
but these are also things that you can apply on your own title as well.
So I'll show you quickly how you can do that if you're starting a title from scratch
and you just want to create your own motion graphic and your own animation.
So, I'm going to gt rid of this one
go back over to my Graphics
and I'm just going to drag a Basic Title onto my timeline.
It loads it in
and then you'll see that your text is here.
I'll go to Editing, select the Type tool
and change this to what I want it to say.
I'm going to go ahead and select all of that.
Select the font that I want.
And I can increase it, I can add some Leading.
And you can do all the kind of stuff you did before in terms of editing
what the text looks like
you can place it in different parts of the frame
by changing its position, you know, all that kind of stuff.
So if you want to actually animate this
and you want to apply some kind of effects to it
I'm just going to add a very simple blur.
So I'm going to go over to the effects.
It'll bring up the effects and I'll type in Blur.
I'm gonig to grab the Gaussian Blur and drag that straight onto my text.
Go back over to my Editing panel, I'm just going to close this up.
Let's start at the beginning. So I want this to blur in
so I'm going to add a keyframe by clicking on this little keyframe animation
and just bring this out a little bit, scrub the timeline a little bit
and drop another keyframe onto there.
So if I go back to the beginning
I'm gonig to bring the blurriness up.
I'm also going to add a bit of opacity
so I'm going to bring the opacity down so that it fades in.
And I'm just going to stop that before the blur finishes.
Then drop that down to zero
and then play it through.
And you've got a nice little motion there.
So once you've created your motion and you're happy with it
you can go ahead and save this as a preset so that you don't have to do this every time
you want to create that same kind of motion graphic, that same effect.
So if you go up to Graphics
and Export as Motion Graphics
I'm just going to call it My Blur, just for ease.
That's it. If you go over to your Graphics workspace
and you go to Browse you'll see it's been added there.
So now, all I have to do is add that to my timeline.
It loads it in.
And you'll see, there it is.
And I'm just going to change the text, just to show you how quick and easy it is.
And you'll see the effect is still applied.
And that is pretty much all you need to do in order to use Essential Graphics.
Give it a try, see what you think
and just play around with the different presets because there are so many
and just get to know which ones there are and what they do
and yeah, that's pretty much it. I hope you found this helpful.
If you have any tips and you've already used the Essential Graphics
then let me know if there's anything that I've missed
because I am, sort of, trying to get my head around it as well
so if there's anything that I've missed then let me know.
See you on the next video!
