Well, hey everybody!
I'm Nathaniel Dodson from tutvid.com.
Welcome into this Adobe Premiere Pro tutorial where today I want to talk about what might
be the most important thing for you to know if you do any kind of animating in Premiere
Pro whether it's complex or simple transitions or just animating text and titles and just
stuff in general animating anything in Premiere Pro.
This is a must know tip, it has to do with what I like to call "Deep Easing" and how
you can really take advantage of easing to get some amazing animations that quite frankly
look like they come out of After Effects and not Premiere Pro so if you do a lot of work
in Premiere Pro I think you're going to love this.
It's going to be a quick tip.
Hey, if you do enjoy this video, though make sure you subscribe to this channel and turn
those notifications on so you never miss another video editing, After Effects, Premiere Pro,
you-name-it tutorial from tutvid, well the tutvid channel I should say here on YouTube
and with that out of the way, guys let's jump into Premiere right now and check this thing
out.
Alright, here we are and what I've got is a text title over this video and the first
thing I'm going to do is set it to the blend mode of Color Dodge which is going to kind
of give it some crazy color.
Maybe that's a little too much.
I'll reduce the opacity to like 90% and be done with the opacity.
You can see it's just a simple text object.
First thing I'm going to do, I'm going to go to Effects panel and look for an effect
called "Transform" Here it is down here under "Distort" I'm going to drag that, I can drop
it right on the clip or I can drop it in Effect Controls, it doesn't make a difference.
Here is what makes a difference, up here under Transform, we're going to scale this puppy
so we're going to scale it to 100%, we're going to get it to 100%.
So I'm going to tick the "toggle animation" stopwatch there to drop a keyframe and then
I'm going to move all the way back to the beginning and I'm going to set scale to 0%.
What did we just do?
We created a very simple, but very clunky, static-looking animation.
That, let's be honest, it looks kind of like crap.
So here's how we change that and make it not-so-crappy.
I'm going to select both of these keyframes and I'm going to right-click and I'm going
to choose "Auto Bezier" just to apply a little bit of easing to them.
I also want to give this a little blur, this, by the way, is why I used the Transform effect
instead of just animating the normal scale.
Because I can uncheck "Use Composition Shutter Speed" which is what the long text is here
and change the shutter angle to 360 degrees.
By the way, I covered this effect in a recent tutorial I did on 5 tips and tricks on animating
in Premiere, but it was so good and I love it so much I just had to do a separate tutorial
on it.
After we've done that, we're going to have a little bit of blur on our text.
You can see now we've got some blur happening in there and the faster the text goes, like
the shorter we, the less time we give the animation, the more craziness we're going
to have in terms of that blur.
But that's not enough.
If I hit this little arrow over here, I will spin down my scaling options and to really
take full advantage you want to make sure you select the played and hit your "plus"
(+) button so you can zoom in on this.
And then select any keyframe here and we're going to give this a little bit of like a
zoom bump effect.
So if I grab this handle and push it up, what's going to happen is the text is actually going
to scale up past where we need it to go and then retract back into place.
We haven't added any keyframes that's just the effect.
Pretty cool.
So that has to do with animating the actual scaling effect.
Down here this is velocitation (Velocity) bit, this is our easing down here so we can
change this.
We can say, "look, go really slowly at the beginning and then speed up toward the end."
Or vica versa, we can say "you know what, start really fast and then we kinda what you
to chill out here toward the end, we want you to really slow down."
But I really don't want this handle down here to go anything less than flat.
Maybe a very little bit but I want this handle up here to be very close to flat.
If it's pointing downward, it means we're scaling down below where we started.
Which, we're starting at 0 so it probably doesn't make too much of a difference here.
Let's check to see what this looks like.
It zooms way up and bounces into place.
Look at that effect!
So that's really cool and we can change the way this whole thing looks by just changing
our easing here.
We could make it start out really slowly and snap into place right at the end.
Let's just make sure we're still getting a good bounce and watch what this looks like
now.
It comes up slowly and snaps into place much faster.
Boom!
Just like that.
Really, really cool stuff.
So, that's what this tutorial is about.
Use those deep easing features.
They are really amazing and it's not just with scaling.
Scaling is just a great one to show because not only can you play with the easing but
you can also play with the scale and have it kind of bump in and settle into its final
resting place.
But "Position" and all these different animatable parameters with these different effects, you
can jump in and fine tune the easing exactly as you like it and the more you play with
the easing, honestly, it doesn't take that long and it starts to feel like second nature
and boy, it's a good-feeling second nature if I've ever felt a nice feeling second nature.
It makes it feel like you can actually get a decent animation out of Premiere Pro.
That's one of the things that I love so much about it.
So, for animating here in Premiere Pro and using this kind of "Deep Easing" effect, to
actually get a really nice animation in Premiere Pro, guys for this one, THAT'S IT!
GET IT?
GOT IT?
GOOD!
