- They have updated Adobe Premiere Pro.
So it's now Adobe Premiere Pro 2020.
And it includes this wonderful feature,
the auto framing feature.
Where you can make one wonderful piece of video work
and duplicate it many times as you want
with the system automatically doing
all of the key framing and focusing for you.
I'm going to show you how.
Here we go.
We're going to dive straight into it.
So in this case,
here is Adobe Premiere Pro 2020,
updated literally right about 12 hours ago,
and I've had a little fiddle around with the auto reframe.
What you can do is either start a new project,
or in my case, I've got one set here for you.
And I've got a couple of clips.
Let's have a look at these.
Now this one is a couple dancing in 4K.
Now in 4K display, there in the middle,
you can see everything within there,
that's not a problem.
In 1080p, her head's cut off.
She dances around and she kind of goes
in and out of the frame.
If you wanted to try and do it in a square format
that you'd put on say, the Instagram newsfeed.
Then once again, her head's cut off
and he's focused on and she keeps
disappearing out in the frame.
Or maybe you want to do it in a story.
Once again, he seems to be having fun,
but she seems to be disappearing.
There's not load of problem, I've got a fix for you.
Now to quickly apply the auto framing effect,
you go to your effects panel,
you type in auto,
and then you'll see auto reframe.
You drag it on to the video clip on your timeline.
You'll see that it has that little orange bar,
it went through all of the key frames over here.
So you'll see the analyze and now,
the video focuses and will move the frame
if and when needed to keep her in the middle.
In this case, not so much
because that simply to reframed it,
so just from 4K to 1080.
Lets try in the IG feed.
Drag, drop, analyzes,
you see it on the right hand side
that it goes through all of the frames.
Now, it's more squared out,
you'll see all of the figures on the right hand side
have changed a little bit,
it's scaled itself to fit the frame.
And here's the magic.
I go back to the start of the clip,
and now, it follows the lady.
It focused the core of the video on the core action.
Now, they are dancing, so its taking a fair bit of time
it pans a bit slowly.
So if you're a bit worried what you can do,
which can change how much it pans
and how quickly the motion is by this here.
So on the drop down, you use the motion preset,
if it's slow, say for example,
it's slow motion boating, then you can slow it down.
Default is normally fine for everything,
but slow on the dancing would look like this.
Taking a little longer to catch her going out of the frame.
Right?
So it's not so good for dancing.
Default did okay, but faster will catch every movement.
So say for example, you're on a motorcycle,
or you know you're dancing,
whatever that dance happens to be.
You'll now see that it's much more focused
on keeping her in the middle of the frame.
Why don't we try and restrict it a little further.
So this is 4K footage in a 9 by 16 Instagram story.
I'm going to drag and drop, it analyzes.
It's now centered
and if we go back to the start of the clip once more,
she is now the core focus.
He even goes out of the frame, but she's there.
It will track every single bit of her movements.
But Alan, what if I've already got a sequence
of a few clips.
I don't want to drag and drop this auto reframing thing,
I want to do the whole thing in one go.
Not a problem.
You build out your timeline,
you select a sequence on the left hand side,
you right click, and you auto reframe sequence.
Now says, what you want to reframe it as
and what you want to call it as.
Now I, let's say I want to make it into a vertical story,
and I want to keep with the action.
So I'm going to keep it faster.
If you got two options here,
you can either not nest the clips
and it will replace all the current motion adjustments.
In other words, if you manually adjusted anything,
it will wipe those out,
and it will do the key frames yourself
where you can nest the clips
and it will keep hold of your motion adjustments,
reframe it, but it'll take out your transitions.
So I'm going to use the don't nest the clips.
You'll see that immediately it changes the frame sizes
immediately analyzes and now,
all of that work that you've done in your previous clip
has now been transformed.
So here's her dancing around once again
without any problems, and here,
we've got a clip of them snowboarding, right?
And once again, the focus right now
is the snowboarders in the middle of the clip.
It moves around, so you've got the wonderful mountain,
right.
And that's how you use the auto reframe
in the new Adobe Premiere Pro 2020.
