Hey everybody and welcome back to Gal here I'm in Las Vegas at the NAB show
and Adobe has released a bunch of cool updates last week I showed you guys a
new content aware fill inside of After Effects and today I'm going to be taking
a close look at the new essential graphics updates inside of Premiere Pro
so if you guys haven't watched that other video I definitely encourage you
guys to watch it but without further ado let's go ahead and jump into Premiere
Pro alright everyone we are inside of the latest version of Premiere Pro and
everything I'm about to show you is only available in the latest version so make
sure if you go up to Premiere Pro about Premiere Pro that you're seeing version
13 .1 or above and if you do not have that just be sure to go up to your
little Creative Cloud go to your apps and make sure that you're updated all
right so the first tip I wanted to show you in the new essential graphics panel
update is masking text so you can place images and video inside of it so to do
that first let's go ahead and make some new text using the type tool so I'll
just type out Gal here and I'll go ahead and just increase the size of it as well
as the scale here and then using the align and transform tools I'm just going
to center it in screen now what we're going to do is add our video layer
inside of the essential graphics panel so I'm going to click on new layer and
then from file and this is where I'm going to choose a video shot so let's
say we wanted to use this Beach aerial shot import that and then you will
notice that it's a lower resolution than my sequence that's no problem all I'm
going to do is just scale it up like so then I'm going to drag this video
underneath the text layer now I want the video to be inside of the text so what
I'm going to do is select the type tool then down here under appearance select
mask with text and then BAM the video is inside of the
text so then this is where we can decide where we want the video to be within the
text so you can select this video shot and then move it around and tell it's in
the right position that you want so then when we play it back you can see the
video is playing inside of the text now if you wanted to you can also put a map
behind this text so what I like to do is go down here to new item and select
color matte hit OK and then I'm just going to choose a color and then I'm
going to drag and drop that underneath so now it's a white background and if
you select the text we can add a shadow so I'm going to increase the
transparency up so it's not quite transparent and then add some distance
and I'm going to darken this up a bit now the next tip I wanted to show you
what this update is the new background so what I'm going to do is just click on
the timeline to create a new graphics layer and let's make a lower third here
so let's decrease the size and then let's type out just Premiere Gal
like so let's say we wanted to make a simple lower third let's just decrease
the size a little bit I'm also going to turn on the safe margins for title safe
just to make sure everything is inside of this inner line so that way if you're
working in TV or broadcast you know that it won't get cut off so let's say we
wanted to put a rectangle behind this before this update we would actually
have to go in and create a rectangle using the rectangle tool but now what we
can do is actually just select this type layer and go down and select background
and it automatically creates a background for you that fits perfectly
and you can decrease the size or increase it to be as close to the text
as you like so I think around here looks pretty cool it's going to change the
color to be a little bit lighter blue like so and if you want the shadow on
the text you can I kind of like the shadow I'm just going to reduce the
distance just a little bit like so so here we have just a basic lower third
title and we don't have to worry about pinning the frame to create responsive
design because if I was going to change this text so if I select this text and I
was going to type something else like lower third you can see that it
automatically adapts to the text size and we don't have to worry about
creating shapes so the next update I wanted to show you is in the wrench
tools again we now have show rulers which is the rulers up in the program
panel so you can easily align things with the use of guides so if you show
guides now here if I wanted to create a guideline for a lower third to always
align it I can just pull this over and same up here I can take this down and
let's say I want my text always be aligned here all we need to do is go
down and snap enable snap in the program monitor and then when you select this
text layer using the selection tool you if it's up here you can just bring it
down and bam it snaps right into place it's like a
magnet so you can save these guides as a template as well so if you go up to view
guide templates you can save guide as template just like that and now when you
go up here you can choose lower third left or if you wanted to enable lower
third right which I have here it'll show you that particular guide that you have
saved so this is just a quick way to easily move things around and another
tip I wanted to show you is how to make very minute small movements inside of
your program monitor with essential graphics so if i go down here and you
zoom in to 200% you will see what i'm talking about so now what you can do is
hold shift and command on a Mac or ctrl on a PC and use the arrow keys to move
it over five pixels see that so you can do very small movements using the arrow
keys holding the shift command and arrow keys so this just helps when you're
designing your motion graphics it allows you to have more flexibility and move
things in smaller movements before you would have to just move use the arrow
key and like move it around and you didn't get a lot of accuracy so that's
it for the essential graphics updates if you guys have any questions about
anything that I covered be sure to leave a comment below and also I designed
templates myself specifically for you guys to use inside of Premiere Pro and
