WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.287 --> 00:00:02.120 Hey, welcome to 2 00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:05.350 a fun practical exercise lesson. 3 00:00:05.350 --> 00:00:07.505 Today I'm showing you how to take 4 00:00:07.505 --> 00:00:10.954 an ordinary cross dissolve like this one, 5 00:00:10.954 --> 00:00:13.598 and turn it into something a little bit more special 6 00:00:13.598 --> 00:00:15.084 like this one. 7 00:00:15.084 --> 00:00:17.887 So it's kind of hard for you to see the differences, 8 00:00:17.887 --> 00:00:19.913 but this one is just your normal cross dissolve. 9 00:00:19.913 --> 00:00:21.406 This is a cross dissolve 10 00:00:21.406 --> 00:00:24.518 with a custom blur transition added. 11 00:00:24.518 --> 00:00:27.017 And we're going to be creating this custom transition 12 00:00:27.017 --> 00:00:30.684 with the blur effect in animated key frames. 13 00:00:31.586 --> 00:00:35.889 So go ahead and download the practise files in this lesson. 14 00:00:35.889 --> 00:00:38.223 There's a zip file with Anthony clip one 15 00:00:38.223 --> 00:00:39.407 and Anthony clip two. 16 00:00:39.407 --> 00:00:42.802 These are two shots that we shot with the Osmo camera. 17 00:00:42.802 --> 00:00:44.356 It's a cool little steady cam camera. 18 00:00:44.356 --> 00:00:49.055 And import them into a brand new Premiere Pro project 19 00:00:49.055 --> 00:00:51.022 or wherever you want to practise. 20 00:00:51.022 --> 00:00:53.652 Now since we haven't learned a lot of the aspects 21 00:00:53.652 --> 00:00:55.847 that I'm going to be teaching in this lesson 22 00:00:55.847 --> 00:00:58.231 including using effects and adding key frames, 23 00:00:58.231 --> 00:01:00.669 I'm just going to walk through it with you right now 24 00:01:00.669 --> 00:01:02.846 and then I'll have you do it at the very end. 25 00:01:02.846 --> 00:01:07.091 I'm just going to drag Anthony clip one into a new sequence. 26 00:01:07.091 --> 00:01:08.351 Into this new item button down here. 27 00:01:08.351 --> 00:01:12.679 And then put the Anthony clip two next to it, 28 00:01:12.679 --> 00:01:13.512 just like so. 29 00:01:13.512 --> 00:01:16.249 Now they are butted up against each other. 30 00:01:16.249 --> 00:01:20.416 I'm going to then drag in the end of this first clip 31 00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:25.112 to about, let's play through this. 32 00:01:25.112 --> 00:01:27.073 And there you see this kid in the background doing a, 33 00:01:27.073 --> 00:01:28.867 or trying to do a kick flip. 34 00:01:28.867 --> 00:01:31.165 He goes, jumps, almost lands it. 35 00:01:31.165 --> 00:01:32.768 Something right there. 36 00:01:32.768 --> 00:01:35.502 And then with this next clip, I'm going to drag it 37 00:01:35.502 --> 00:01:39.334 just before we see this lady right here walking 38 00:01:39.334 --> 00:01:41.823 and Anthony has to go around here. 39 00:01:41.823 --> 00:01:43.769 So drag it in right there. 40 00:01:43.769 --> 00:01:47.514 And then just move these to butt up against each other. 41 00:01:47.514 --> 00:01:49.498 So before I add the cross dissolve, 42 00:01:49.498 --> 00:01:52.162 I'm going to add a blur effect. 43 00:01:52.162 --> 00:01:56.860 So if you go to your effects bin, go up to window effects. 44 00:01:56.860 --> 00:02:00.603 In the search bar, just type in fast blur. 45 00:02:00.603 --> 00:02:03.271 You'll see fast blur pop up down here 46 00:02:03.271 --> 00:02:06.825 and simply drag and drop it onto the video clip 47 00:02:06.825 --> 00:02:10.833 on your timeline starting with Anthony clip one. 48 00:02:10.833 --> 00:02:15.000 And we can also go ahead and do it on Anthony clip two. 49 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.258 If you see now in our effects controls tab that pops up, 50 00:02:20.258 --> 00:02:22.312 we have this fast blur effect. 51 00:02:22.312 --> 00:02:25.259 If we increase the blurriness number from zero 52 00:02:25.259 --> 00:02:29.426 to well, just up, the video gets more or less blurry. 53 00:02:31.595 --> 00:02:33.905 Zero means no blur at all. 54 00:02:33.905 --> 00:02:37.750 So we want to create an actual animation of this blur 55 00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:40.988 from zero to say about 50 or so. 56 00:02:40.988 --> 00:02:44.771 So just put your timeline indicator just anywhere 57 00:02:44.771 --> 00:02:47.928 on this clip, and set a key frame for zero. 58 00:02:47.928 --> 00:02:51.494 The way we set a key frame is by clicking this little time, 59 00:02:51.494 --> 00:02:55.354 stopwatch right here, that says toggle animation. 60 00:02:55.354 --> 00:02:58.460 And then I'm going to go forward in this clip 61 00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:01.048 by pressing the Shift button on my keyboard 62 00:03:01.048 --> 00:03:04.809 and then right arrow key three times. 63 00:03:04.809 --> 00:03:06.032 We'll just try that for now. 64 00:03:06.032 --> 00:03:09.965 And you can see that our timeline indicator moved ahead 65 00:03:09.965 --> 00:03:11.604 about 15 frames. 66 00:03:11.604 --> 00:03:13.664 And then change the blurriness number, 67 00:03:13.664 --> 00:03:15.419 just click on it like so. 68 00:03:15.419 --> 00:03:17.206 And type in 50. 69 00:03:17.206 --> 00:03:19.889 You'll notice that the edge of this clip 70 00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:21.427 gets a little bit dark 71 00:03:21.427 --> 00:03:23.364 and that's just what happens when you blur it. 72 00:03:23.364 --> 00:03:26.563 So we're going to click this repeat edge pixels, 73 00:03:26.563 --> 00:03:29.176 which will repeat the edge pixels, 74 00:03:29.176 --> 00:03:31.945 the video part of the edge, 75 00:03:31.945 --> 00:03:34.940 so that you don't get this dark blur. 76 00:03:34.940 --> 00:03:38.161 Now if we go back on our timeline, 77 00:03:38.161 --> 00:03:40.288 either by clicking down here on the timeline 78 00:03:40.288 --> 00:03:43.056 or up here in the timeline of the effects controls, 79 00:03:43.056 --> 00:03:46.806 we can see that we go from zero blur to blur. 80 00:03:48.541 --> 00:03:50.357 Kind of cool, right? 81 00:03:50.357 --> 00:03:52.250 We're gonna do the same thing. 82 00:03:52.250 --> 00:03:54.496 We're gonna move these key frames around later on, 83 00:03:54.496 --> 00:03:56.616 so it's in the right spot of the clip. 84 00:03:56.616 --> 00:03:59.433 But let's just go ahead and add the same type of effect 85 00:03:59.433 --> 00:04:00.894 for the second clip, 86 00:04:00.894 --> 00:04:03.571 but instead of going from no blur to blur, 87 00:04:03.571 --> 00:04:06.062 we're going to go from 50 blur. 88 00:04:06.062 --> 00:04:07.715 So I'm going to set this to 50. 89 00:04:07.715 --> 00:04:09.596 Click the stop watch. 90 00:04:09.596 --> 00:04:13.346 And then shift right arrow three times or so. 91 00:04:14.721 --> 00:04:16.997 And then change the 50 to zero. 92 00:04:16.997 --> 00:04:20.375 So now it goes from the start of the clip. 93 00:04:20.375 --> 00:04:23.150 I'm going to click repeat edge pixels. 94 00:04:23.150 --> 00:04:27.317 And if I play through this, it goes from blurry to unblurry. 95 00:04:29.116 --> 00:04:32.173 Now let's add the default transition. 96 00:04:32.173 --> 00:04:33.956 So I'm just going to right click 97 00:04:33.956 --> 00:04:36.554 and say apply default transition. 98 00:04:36.554 --> 00:04:40.819 So now if we play through this, we get this cross dissolve, 99 00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:44.515 but we have to move the key frames of the blur 100 00:04:44.515 --> 00:04:46.532 to the right spot. 101 00:04:46.532 --> 00:04:49.092 So I'm going to actually first just drag this. 102 00:04:49.092 --> 00:04:51.092 Select Anthony clip one. 103 00:04:52.001 --> 00:04:54.314 I'm going to drag the second key frame up here 104 00:04:54.314 --> 00:04:59.027 for 50 blurriness and drag it all the way to the right. 105 00:04:59.027 --> 00:05:01.935 Then I'm going to put my timeline indicator right here 106 00:05:01.935 --> 00:05:03.937 at the start of the cross dissolve 107 00:05:03.937 --> 00:05:07.756 and put the first key frame right there. 108 00:05:07.756 --> 00:05:09.824 And then with this Anthony clip two, 109 00:05:09.824 --> 00:05:13.393 just select Anthony clip two and drag the first key frame 110 00:05:13.393 --> 00:05:15.817 all the way to the left, to the start of the clip. 111 00:05:15.817 --> 00:05:18.740 Put your timeline indicator at the end of the cross dissolve 112 00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:21.688 and drag that key frame right there. 113 00:05:21.688 --> 00:05:24.296 So now let's play through this. 114 00:05:24.296 --> 00:05:25.792 And that's pretty good. 115 00:05:25.792 --> 00:05:28.737 The blur isn't as pronounced as I would like. 116 00:05:28.737 --> 00:05:32.222 And one way to make it more pronounced is either 117 00:05:32.222 --> 00:05:35.941 increasing the blurriness of the second key frame 118 00:05:35.941 --> 00:05:39.382 or just making it start to blur before the cross dissolve. 119 00:05:39.382 --> 00:05:42.464 And to do that, I'm just going to drag this first key frame 120 00:05:42.464 --> 00:05:45.463 of Anthony clip one, a little bit forward, 121 00:05:45.463 --> 00:05:48.455 so it starts to blur a little bit. 122 00:05:48.455 --> 00:05:52.242 And then with the second one, drag the second key frame 123 00:05:52.242 --> 00:05:55.319 for blurriness zero out a little bit as well. 124 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.565 So now it starts to get a little bit blurry, 125 00:05:57.565 --> 00:05:59.997 and it stays a little bit blurry and gets into focus 126 00:05:59.997 --> 00:06:02.258 after the cross dissolve. 127 00:06:02.258 --> 00:06:05.360 So that's how you can create a custom transition. 128 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.940 And you can do that with all kinds of effects. 129 00:06:07.940 --> 00:06:10.377 We're going to learn about more effects later one. 130 00:06:10.377 --> 00:06:13.756 But if you go through any of these video effects down here 131 00:06:13.756 --> 00:06:16.863 and anything from colour correction 132 00:06:16.863 --> 00:06:21.030 of making things do sort of a overblown exposure transition 133 00:06:22.702 --> 00:06:26.604 to distortion and bending your image. 134 00:06:26.604 --> 00:06:29.990 All kinds of things, you can add those effects to your clips 135 00:06:29.990 --> 00:06:33.849 and have them transition from being off to on 136 00:06:33.849 --> 00:06:35.659 with these key frames. 137 00:06:35.659 --> 00:06:38.864 And then adding a cross dissolve in between two clips 138 00:06:38.864 --> 00:06:41.717 allows you to create a very cool custom transition. 139 00:06:42.619 --> 00:06:43.956 Now it's your turn. 140 00:06:43.956 --> 00:06:45.556 If you haven't been practising , go ahead, 141 00:06:45.556 --> 00:06:49.021 download the Anthony clip one and Anthony clip two files 142 00:06:49.021 --> 00:06:53.044 from this lesson and import them into Adobe Premiere Pro 143 00:06:53.044 --> 00:06:55.691 and then add your own custom transition. 144 00:06:55.691 --> 00:06:59.002 Play around with the different strengths of the blur. 145 00:06:59.002 --> 00:07:01.183 And also where you put it. 146 00:07:01.183 --> 00:07:03.904 How long the transition is, from on to off. 147 00:07:03.904 --> 00:07:05.200 Where the transition is 148 00:07:05.200 --> 00:07:09.111 and even how long the cross dissolve is. 149 00:07:09.111 --> 00:07:10.957 You can come up with different ways 150 00:07:10.957 --> 00:07:13.481 to make this a custom effect. 151 00:07:13.481 --> 00:07:14.636 Thanks for watching. 152 00:07:14.636 --> 00:07:18.469 Have fun and we'll see you in the next lesson.
