In today's video, I'm
going to show you
how to create
a really cool slideshow animation effect
between two photos.
Plus, add some sound effects.
Let's get into it
So here my timeline.
I have these archival photos of bananas
that I got from the Wikimedia Commons
and by the way,
if you're a documentary filmmaker
or journalist
and you need access to some really cool
archival source photos.
Wikimedia Commons is a ton of public
domain photos that you can use
for free in your videos.
So for this particular effect,
I'm going to add a slight blur
and just a very subtle zoom effect
between these photos.
And this effect was inspired by Jonnny
Harris's documentaries
on his YouTube channel
and also his recent video
on the history of Bananas
in Central America.
Highly recommended.
That's why I chose these banana
archival photos.
So the first step is to select
the second photo.
Here, we're going to start with
just adding an animation
to the very beginning
of the second photo.
So we're going to go up to Effects
and search for Gaussian Blur and
drag and drop this
or you can double click
if you have the photo selected
Double click to apply it.
And now over, in
effect, controls,
you can see we have the guassian blur.
Now we want the photo
to start out blurry.
So we're going to increase
the blurriness here to 40
and then we want to keyframe.
So we're going to select the stopwatch,
the toggle animation
to create this
first little keyframe here.
Now we want this to be a fairly
quick transition.
It's a very subtle effect.
So we're going to move around
six frames forward.
So you can play around
with different timings,
but I'll just use my arrow keys to go
one, two, three, four, five, six.
And I'm going to reduce this to zero.
So now between these two keyframes,
we have this
very short little blur effect.
So now we need to add
a subtle scale and animation,
but we're not going to animate the scale.
And I'll tell you why in just a second.
Instead,
you're going to go over to Effects and
search for Transform.
And this is underneath distort
And we're going to double click
to apply this to the same photo.
And here we have Transform.
And here
we're going to add
some animation to the scale.
So if you want it to start
more zoomed in,
we can increase
this, let's say to one 25.
We need to press the toggle animation.
And now we can move six frames forward.
And let's bring this down to one ten.
And then we can move
like two frames forward
just to have it
zoom out a little bit more.
Let's do 108
and then to make it more smooth
we can lasso and select
these keyframes
and control click and select is in or
you can right click
and this one we can ease out.
So now when we play it back,
it looks really cool.
It's a very subtle zoom out with a blur
just like that.
It's very simple, but it's effective.
And when we add sound effects later
in the video,
it's really going to come to life.
Now we can copy and paste these effects
that we added
so we can press command or control
to select
both of the effects,
press, command, see or control
see to copy them.
Then we can go to the next photo
that we want to apply this effect to.
Let's see the third one here
and we can go up to effect controls, move
to play head the beginning.
Make sure you have this window selected
and then command V to paste it.
And now it's applied to this photo
and remember I said I would explain this.
The reason
why we applied
the keyframe animation
to the scale
of the transform effect
and not add the regular motion controls
is that way.
If we ever want
to make any changes to the scale
or the position,
it won't screw up
the keyframes that we had.
So we can go up here.
And if we want to zoom out a little bit
here, let's say down to like 32.
It's not going to mess up
the animation that we did down here.
And we can always make some adjustments
and you can repeat the same process
to every photo.
So now we have this really cool
slideshow effect
and it's really subtle to do.
And the next thing we need to do
is add some sound effects
And by the way,
my name is Kelsey
and welcome back to Gal.

And now I'm going to show you
how to use some of their sound effects
to spice up the slideshow effect.
So between the two slides here,
I want to have a projector slide.
So if you go to Epidemic Sound,
you can see that there's music
and then there's sound effects.
Of course
you can browse
by their featured
sound effects
as well as by category down here,
but you can also just go to search.
And from sound effects
we can search for projector
and it will bring up
a bunch of different
sounds that we can play and try out.
So we can try. Projector, screen one
projector screen two.
It's not really what I need.
Let's try this.
That's a nice slide.
Sound effect.
And also,
if you want some ambiance
behind the slide, sound effect,
for example,
if a machine is just playing some slides,
this slide projector eight
is just a nice background noise.
That you can add to your video.
So we can go ahead and download these.
And once they're downloaded,
you can import them into Premiere Pro's
Project Panel.
You can see I've already done that.
So then we can just drag
and drop these effects into the timeline.
So slide show
projector 14 as the slide show effect
So I can zoom in here
and just place this at the cut point.
I can press option to duplicate that and
just repeat that
Great.
And then we can
take the slide show
projector eight drag
and drop it down there.
See and cut at the end and delete
that access.
Play around with the level
and let's see how this sound
And look at that just to sound effects.
And already it's feeling
more like a projector
screen, like a real life one.
And you can add some music from Epidemic
if you want to bring it to life.
So if you're looking for a quick way
to do the slide, show effect
on multiple different resolutions.
Let's say you want to do portrait
vertical storage, square 4K intensity,
and you don't want to build it
all from scratch.
I've put together a photo
slide show
creator template
that's on
sale on my website
and it has
for other different types of transitions.
So if you just don't want the Zoom
Blur transition,
I also added,
you know,
swipe left, swipe right up and down.
And it's really easy to use
as just drag
and drop in your own videos or photos.
And you can use it.
Let me just quickly
show you how it works.
Once you download and purchase the pack,
you will see here
that you can import your own footage
so I can go in
and just take some of my photos here.
And let's say
that you wanted to use the portrait.
You can go into the slideshow.
So let's say we want the swipe done
and see what this looks like.
If you want
to update these to your own photos,
we can then just go ahead.
And for example,
this placeholder,
you can double click
on the first placeholder
and drag and drop in your own photos.
Replace this with some dogs here.
So if you want to add this
French bulldog.
Go ahead, drag that and go up to effects
and scale it into place.
And then when we go back to the portrait,
you can see that that
photo has been replaced just like that.
And you'll notice
that there's a film crop.
You can just turn off the visibility
if you don't want that.
And there's a portrait color
adjustment layer that you can turn off
if you want the original
style of the photo.
And there's some light leaks as well
that you'll see
that you can turn off as well
that are generated
And again, underneath edit
you'll find the same exact sequences
for HD, 4K, Portrait Square and vertical
and there's two different types.
So there's the classic,
which is that zoom blur effect.
And then there's the swipe effect,
which goes up or down just like that.
And you can move around
so you can take any of these
and change it.
For example,
you can go down to the swipe transitions
and if you want it
to swipe left, for example,
you can go down here
and this is vertical.
So you can go into vertical
and you can take
you can open this up
and then you can copy this transition,
go back to vertical
and you know, make sure you're on video
layer two.
When you piece this,
you can literally delete that command V
to paste that transition in.
Now, after you press enter to
render it out very quickly, you will see
it's a swipe left transition so you can,
you know, modify
which direction
you want the swipes to go.
And one more thing I wanted to mention.
Let's say you already have a premiere pro
product file open
and you want to import the template
into the Premiere Pro Project.
What you can do
is just drag and drop the file.
So here I have the download
you will see here
the premiere pro project file.
Just drag
and drop it into the project panel
and then I will ask you
to import the entire project
and you can create
a folder
for the imported items
and allow for duplicate media press.
Okay.
And then you will see
all of the same folders here
that you can open up and reuse.
And you can
import this part of the file
as many times as you want.
If you want to create new sequences
with new media, for example,
And the sound effects are included.
So the media that's included in this
template is in the public domain.
So all of these archival
photos of bananas
are included in the template.
So that way, you know,
which placeholders are where in
you can just replace those images
with your own photos.
So definitely go check that out.
Go to PremiereGal.com/Store
to purchase the slideshow pack.
And any time that there's an update,
you will get that update
after you purchase that
and you can use it in any type of video.
So yeah, that's it for today's video.
I really hope that this slideshow
effect helps you out.
It's going to be great
for documentary films,
for weddings,
for just sharing personal stories, too.
