Last Sunday was the last episode of Frame-by-Frame where I tried to find movie mistakes.
And we also made a movie mistake.
The first person who'd find that one wins a "Yannick, catch!" t-shirt
And that winner is
Trupal Patel
Congratulations!
Now, for today's video I have 5 advanced tips.
when creating text or 2d animations inside Adobe Premiere Pro.
So, let's get started with the first one.
What I've got right here is a simple rectangle and a text on top of that.
Now, with the rectangle selected in the essential graphics we can pin that to the text.
Next, choose which edges of the background shape needs to be pinned
in this case we'll select all of them.
Whenever I choose to change the text now
the rectangle background will automatically adapt its size to the length of the text
because it is pinned to it.
and this is definitely useful if you choose to safe your design as a template for later use.
For instance a lower third that you can use more often in your work.
When talking about templates while you're editing your video and you have a specific text
that appears multiple times
you could save their styles as a preset.
For instance this heading title, and subtitle
Select the desired layer and locate the masters styles in the essential graphics
Choose create master text style and give it a name
hit OK
and we'll do the same for the subtitle and we'll also safe that into a master style
Later in the edit we want to create a new heading
we can then just simply type our text
go in the essential graphics and in the drop down from the masters styles
choose our saved heading preset.
All the styles will now be applied to this title.
And again, the same goes for the subtitle.
You can save as many master styles as you want.
Tip number three:
We can drag stills or even videos into the essential graphics.
On top I am gonna create a new text.
Then with that text layer selected on the bottom we can find mask with text
and this will reveal the video through that text.
Another great use of the mask feature is
when you have a text with a simple position animation on it
what we would like to do now is reveal it
so instead of animating a crop effect
I am going to apply a rectangle over the text on its end position.
With that rectangle selected on the bottom enable mask with shape.
And this will now only reveal that text within that shape
creating a very nice reveal animation.
Now I've got two more really awesome tricks coming up
but first a big thanks to our sponsor Storyblocks video.
It's an incredible library packed with stock clips
video effects, overlays and so much more.
Now, it keeps expanding so there's always something new to find
and I also love all the After Effects templates
Going from complex logo animations to simple 2d animations.
You can download them, change the text and render it out,
without even having to know how After-Effects works.
We have been using Storyblocks for years now
and even if they wouldn't sponsor us, I would still recommend it to any creative.
With a fixed single price per year you can download unlimited video assets
which makes it so incredible.
So definitely check it out which you can do by clicking the first link in the description down below.
And now, let's continue with tip number four.
I've got a background rectangle in my essential graphics
but I would like to add some kind of gradient fill to it.
It's not possible through the styling options
so what we can do is locate the ramp effect in the effects library
and drag that to the essential graphics
and this does allow me to create that beautiful gradient color that I like to create.
And this brings me to the last tip,
I am going to use the transform effect in my essential graphics
because that allows me to create an animation while also enabling motion blur
by setting the shutter angle to 180.
Now since the transform effect needs to be on top it will be applied to everything in my graphics panel.
A workaround for that is to create groups.
Select the transform effect and the layer that you want that effect to be applied on
and click on create group.
And this places the two into a bin and the transform effect
will only applied to the layer within that bin.
And this allows you to create some very nice animations
like you can see here using various effects.
And
that was already it for today.
I have just finished my brand new class for Adobe Premiere Pro for advanced users
yesterday.
So I have been working throughout the entire weekends lately, so I am very tired.
So that's why I am going to take this Thursday off to charge my batteries again
so I can go back to making longer videos
and I actually have some very cool concepts planned for July.
Anyways, thank you so much for watching. Thank you Storyblocks for the support!
Don't forget to check them out and as always
Stay creative!
