Have you
ever struggled with
scaling your rectangle
mask proportionally in Premiere Pro?
I know that I have,
but after today's video, it's
going to be a struggle of the past.
Let's get into it .
So here in my timeline, I have
the stands are stock video
clip from our grid,
and I'm going to be editing a music video
with a film crop.
So with a mask with rounded corners.
So what I'm going to do
is go to effect controls down to opacity
and click on this rectangular mask
or create for Polygon Mask,
and it will create a mask.
Now, what you may have tried to done in
the past is click on a corner
and then hold shift
to try to scale it up.
But it's only doing one corner.
What is going on? Why isn't it working?
You may have tried
also taking all four corners
and trying to scale it,
but it still doesn't work.
So what are what are we doing wrong here?
So the way it works actually is
you need to hover at the corner
until you get that kind of
rotational symbol and then press shift
and then you'll get this double arrow.
And once you see that double arrow,
then click and scale up and look at that.
Finally, it's working.
For so many years,
I struggled with this myself.
Like,
why can't it be like any other program
where you just click
press shift
and scale it up,
but you have to wait
until you see that simple.
So now that we got the hardest part
out of the way, it's
actually not that difficult to do
if you want to make a rounded corners,
you can go over to mask expansion
and you can expand it out
and look at that.
You get the rounded corners
and there's still some more to do.
But by the way,
my name is Kelsey
and welcome back to Premiere Gal.

All right,
let's jump back into the tutorial.
All right.
So from here,
let's say
you want to just expand
one side, but not the entire rectangle.
For example,
we want to make these side
a little bit closer to this edge
and on the other side as well.
So what we can do
is go back into the mask here,
select it
to bring up the transform tools again,
and we can click and lasso
once like two of the corners.
So both of these corners are filled
in solid blue now.
And what we can do now
is just click and drag and move them.
But it's not going to stay locked in.
So we have to do this press shift
and it will lock it into place
and we can drag it over
just like that,
and we can do the same thing
on the other side.
Lasso and select
both of these corners,
drag first
and then press shift to lock it in.
There we go.
Just like that, we expanded the edges.
So now it's a much more wider frame.
Also, one more thing you can do
is play around with the mask feathering.
If you open this up,
you can use the slider
to make the feathering more intense.
If you want more of an old film look.
But I prefer it to be a little bit lower,
so I'm going to
bring this back down to ten.
So now you can take this new tip
on resizing your rectangle mask
and you can apply it
to multiple different clips
and create a variety of really cool
split screens.
You can even do circles as well.
And I have another video
that I made on
how to create a circle mask,
which you can watch right up here.
So now I'm going to play
the final music video
that I put together
with all the different
masks
layered on top of the footage
and the music from Art List and Art Grid.
And if you want to see the final timeline
that I put together with all the effects,
you can sign up to become a patron
where you can download the files there
and I'll put a link just down below.
All right. Enjoy.
Thanks so much for watching
and I'll see you next time, bye!
