One more edit here and Save.
No.
Are you ******* kidding me?
F****!!!
Hey, everyone.
Kelsey here. And welcome back to Gal.
So one of my favorite things
about editing
is that you can really surprise
the viewer
and have fun by creating magical moments.
And, you know,
there's a lot of trends on Instagram
now where you see creators
creating these cool optical illusions
or magic tricks
just through the power of editing.
And this type of editing.
Magic has been around
since the beginning of cinema,
for example, in the late 1800s
with George Melee,
he created the Vanishing Lady Effect
just by doing a simple jump cut.
Now, this is very simple back then
but it really wealth audience
and it still does today.
So the jump cut is very useful
for doing that.
But you can also do
masking and rotoscoping.
There's a lot of more complex effects
that you can do
and I have a lot of tutorials on that.
But the cool thing about today's video
is that I'm watching a short
little competition
with Epidemic Sound,
so you can make your own
editing magic video.
15 seconds or less.
Plus, you need to use sound effects
and music
from Epidemic Sound
and you can get a 30 day trial
to epidemic sound
just down below
to use
whatever sounds
that you need to create your video.
So I'd really like to see
how you can
use the sound
to help propel the magic forward.
And there will be three
winners, so each winner
will get one year free of epidemic sound.
To submit,
you need to fill out the form below
and the description box.
You need to upload it to Instagram, tag
me and add the hashtag editing magic
so you can submit your videos
by May 15th.
That's the deadline
and I'll be announcing the winners
at the end of May
before I jump into premieres to show you
exactly how I did
my magical bursting effect,
which we can all relate to. Am I right?
I wanted to
point out a few more tutorials
that might be useful for,
you know, generating
some ideas for the competition.
You can watch my tutorial
on how to do the witch take off effect,
how to Get Struck by Lightning.
I also have
a Clone Trail effect
that was inspired by Liam
Motion and Cash Money.
That's an after effects.
It's a little bit more complex
if you're feeling,
you know, you want a challenge.
And then there's also the flick effect
that was inspired by Peter
Quinn on Instagram.
These are just a few
that I hope will inspire you.
But again, there's so many cool editing
magic videos out there.
And I'll link
to some co-creators
that you can check out
in my description box.
All right.
Let's go ahead and jump into Premier
and I'll show you how I created
that confetti burst effect
and layered
the sound from epidemic sound.
So for this effect,
I had just a side
view shot very similar
to my talking head here.
And then I jump into
over the shoulder shot just to set it up,
and then a close up shot
right in front of the screen.
I put a camera up right here,
and then I cut to the screen interface
and I have the unexpectedly quit symbol.
And then here,
going back to, oh, my God, what happened?
And then the scream sequence,
which then cuts to the side profile again
and then to this shot,
which is underneath my desk here.
And then I record myself
without the chair,
and I just took my hand
and I just rotated the chair a little bit
to get it to spin
it just completely empty.
So all this was, was a jump cut.
That's all it was
one basic jump cut,
and it looks like I disappeared.
So if you're doing a jump cut,
just make sure you're using a tripod.
So it's in the exact same angle
as when you were in the scene
when you were not there.
And so what I did was
I added just some room tone on audio
track one.
So there weren't any gaps in my breath.
And then on audio track two,
I have all of my dialog
and I just recorded with my road
microphone directly into my computer
and then I added some epidemic sound
settings.
So I'm just going to lasso and select
my voice and ambient
clip and disable that.
And here I just have
this nice little Do Not Disturb Sting
just to set the scene.
And then that air message comes up
and then John Bjork's track, it's
just a little nice thing,
kind of has like,
Oh no, something's wrong.
A little sting to it.
With a build up.
So then it has a boom.
And I set a marker point here at the boom
moment in the sting
and I added a balloon pop.
So if I go in here, you can see that
this is just a balloon pop
and then a magical burst sound effect
and it just helped bring it to life
because without the sound effects,
it would just be room
ambiance and, you know, just some dialog.
It really helped build it up
so let me just play it back for you
from the beginning with the dialog
so you can listen back.
Let's re-enable these tracks
and listen back.
One more edit here.
Let's save.
Round.
No, are you kidding me?
I think we can all feel that
with Premiere Pro
because it's super frustrating,
especially if you're
just about to hit save.
Just Save
and then it crashes
like, Oh, that's the worst
and this is me editing right now.
I just realized
I forgot to mention that I added
an explosion of smoke
as well
as some dust
specks on top of the footage.
And I just got these elements
from important elements
and layered them
on top of the empty chair
to get that final effect.
So there will be three
winners and each winner
will win one year free of epidemic sound.
And if you're new to epidemic sound,
basically it has really high
quality music as well as sound effects.
And you can download
unlimited number of assets
to use in any number of videos.
The personal plan,
it covers
all of your main social media
with monetized options.
You don't have to worry about
any copyright issues.
And there's also a commercial plan
that will cover client projects as well.
So if you're just on YouTube
and posting videos like myself
or on social media,
you can go for the personal plan
and you can use my code
gal 50 to get 50% off in your plan.
So that's all for today's video.
I look forward to seeing your edit
in magic videos.
Don't forget the deadline is May 15th
and I look forward to checking them out.
That's all for today's video.
