Welcome to the video, I'm Mark Brown from Editors Keys, if you're into Adobe Premiere Pro or video editing
consider subscribing to the channel because that's what we're all about! So, this new Auto reframing tool looks really interesting
So we thought instead of just staying here in the studio would get out onto the streets of Manchester
Film some people walking around, some traffic and some trams
just to see if we can trick or fool Premiere Pro and to see how effective this tool is
So let's jump out and do it now.
So Adobe Premiere Pro CC has just been updated and there's one really cool feature that we're really interested in testing out and it's the Auto
reframe tool now if you've ever filmed a video and then wanted to reuse that video on Instagram stories
You'll know it can be quite time-consuming to reframe the footage to add loads of keyframes if this subject is moving about in frame
So this new tool should do all of that completely automatically
So we thought we'd get out on the streets
Try and trick Premiere try and give it a hard time by testing some shots that really throw it left and right within the frame
To see how well this works. So let's get to it
so what we're going to do now is we're going to go to
Deansgate which is one of the main roads in Manchester and we're going to film some traffic's and buses some people walking around to see
How well it works Lewis is going to go around me now and we're gonna see how well this Auto reframing works
I think if it does work, it's gonna be an absolute game changer because you know
We do videos travel videos and sometimes it can take hours to remake that entire video again for Instagram stories and things like that
So we'll see how well this works. Hopefully fingers crossed. It's going to be pretty perfect

So almost all the shots we've seen so far have been with this gimbal so just because our sony a
6400 doesn't have in-body stabilization. We're going to test it out now without the gimbal on to see if it affects stabilization, too
Though Auto reframe is very very simple and there are two ways to apply the effect
The first way is to simply drag the effect onto the clip
Now here's a shot of me walking and we wanted to see how Auto
Reframe would work with a handheld shot rather than a gimbal to see if it was capable of completing the task
Without causing a warp effect a bit like with the warp stabilizer does when it doesn't work
so all you have to do is go over to your top panel and
Select new sequence. So say you want to also use this video for your instagrams story
It would be 1080 by 1920
You copy and paste your clip on the timeline which is command C to copy then command V to paste
Now you can see the clip framing is all over the place
I'm going in and out of frame constantly and this would usually take a lot of time with key framing to get right
Usually it takes so much time. Most people don't even bother with Auto reframe
You can just drag this effect onto the clip and it will analyze the clip
and
There we go, I think it's working really well considering it's quite a shaky shot
Now if you look at the top here
You can see all of the keyframes that were added automatically how much time is that saved you now?
Let's try another common aspect ratio, which is the square 1080 by 1080 for Instagram. For example
Personally I think it works best with this aspect ratio as you have a little more room to play with it within your footage my
Arm goes out of the frame on the Instagram story example
So keep in mind that some shots may not work as perfectly
Depending on the shot and the focus and how shaky it is all that kind of stuff
Now you can do some fine-tuning to the effect
So for example if you're doing a static interview
You can select for slower motion and then scenes where there's a lot more movement or action you can opt for
Faster motion and it should do a better job
I think default does a pretty good job and Adobe seems to pick a nice balance
Now, let's say you've already edited your sequence. Well not to worry
You can actually apply the effect to the entire sequence
So, let's say you have a final video that you want to post on YouTube
Instagram feed and on your Instagram story. All you have to do is go to the top panel
Click sequence and go down to Auto reframe sequence
Choose the options you'd like and then it will create a new sequence
Analyzing each clip and Auto adding key frames. This is great considering that. It's actually quite quick at doing it
This is gonna save so much time for creators who want to post the same video for every platform
We tested this on a few different Clips and we found that it doesn't always work perfectly for all clips for example in
This clip of me moving the coffee cup from side to side
We wanted to see if the auto reframe followed the cup, but it seemed to still stay on my face
Even though the cup is perfectly in focus
So it seems it may not work for every single shot you do. So, there we go
What did you think of our little test and the results there? I thought it was hit and miss but overall. It's pretty good
If you're doing this regularly, you'll know it take a lot of time to actually read edit all of your footage
so this is going to do about
80% of the work and you're still gonna need about another 20% to kind of move things around in frame and get that perfect
Kind of sequence set up, but overall, I think it's pretty good. What do you think?
Let me know in the comments section below and are you using this for your projects? Thanks for watching
