All right.
Phil here with another update from the 20:18 Creative Cloud version of Premiere Pro.
This update is all about the central graphics panel and what's new with it.
They've made a lot of cool changes that make it a little bit more intuitive a little bit more advanced
and just some things that they should have added when they created it the first time.
One of the first things you'll notice from the last time I created a tutorial is that they have a number
of new graphic packages and templates that you can use news sports package video gaming you can go into
any of these folders and take any of these graphics and just pop them into any project and it's going
to load.
And if you don't have the right font it's going to ask you to sync up with what font they're using.
And if you have a Creative Cloud a count or an Adobe account and the font is free you should be able
to just sync it up through that menu.
So now we have these really advance sort of graphics and if you open them up in the edit tab of the
essential graphics panel you can make all of your changes to the actual type or font or colors here.
Pretty cool right.
Another is with editing multiple layers within a project Salumi actually has taken the basic lower third
graphic.
So we have your name tags.
Your second line there.
And so if I open this up and the first thing you'll notice is actually I can select multiple layers
both layers right within my program window.
Before I would have to move one and then the second line added one at a time which was really difficult
especially if you had things aligned and you just couldn't do this which is obvious I should be able
to select both of these.
Which is cool now so I can select both of these letters move them around wherever I want.
The other thing that I can do is pin layers to other layers.
So for example if I select the second line here layer you'll notice that in the edit tab we have this
new responsive design position option with this pintu option and you can choose do you want to pin it
to another layer or to the video frame itself.
And if you choose the video frame what's cool is that it will be responsive if you change the video
frame.
For example if you make it a square for some social media video or whatever but I'm going to choose
your name here and the next thing you have to do is choose one of these pin options you can pin it to
the top the right the bottom or the left of this layer or you can pin it to all.
So if I select pinned all what that means is now if I change anything with the your name text say I
move it around.
If I move it left right if we move up or down the bottom layer that's pinned to it will also be affected.
So let's make it bigger which is kind of cool.
Yeah I actually see some issues there with it being bigger and being pintu it's going to also be a little
bit wonky.
So you've got to be careful of that.
But let's go back to our second layer and let's actually turn off Pinta and let's just pin to the top.
So now if I take your name here later if I move it left or right nothing happens but if I move up or
down it's pinned to that sort of like the top of the layer.
So it's a pretty cool thing and I especially see this as useful with things like lower thirds or title
cards or graphics where you have multiple layers in it not just text layers but also shape layers.
You could pin a shape layer to the text and it will expand get smaller bigger if you change the size
of the tax or vice versa or you could pin the text to the shape player and when the shape player increases
in size or changes position the text will match that.
Pretty cool right.
Another of my favorite features is in the text dropdown.
You now have previews of all the fonts which this was available in Photoshop and after effects and now
it's available in Premiere Pro in the central graphics panel which is just great because unless you
have your fonts memorized you're not going to really know what it's going to look like.
So you have this preview here and you have this favor adding things so you have your favorite thing.
It's a star.
It's a favorite star.
And all you have to do is favorite your different fonts so let's just say I love this Olivier font and
I can start and then up here I can filter by showing my favorites so you can keep all of your favorites
easily accessible.
This is something that I haven't seen before in any of the Adobe suite products and I really love because
I hate having to scroll through to a font that's at the end of the alphabet.
So that's pretty cool.
That's a text option.
And then the last thing I'm going to mention which I really love is the responsive to my design time
feature.
So you get to that if you go to on your effects controls panel if you click for example time remapping
you now have this responsive design time feature over here.
What this means is if you add any motion to your graphic you can actually make it responsive to the
beginning or end of this clip.
And the best way that you can kind of explain that is just to show you.
So say I want this text to pop into this screen right here.
What I can do is take my your name.
Text right around here about half a second.
Let's set a keyframe for position.
Then at the very beginning let's drop it down.
And now since the second line is pinned to that top text it moves as well.
Now let's go to the very end and set it keyframe right about a second or half a second from the end
of this clip and then at the end of the clip let's just drag it down.
So now it pops on and pops off and if it's confusing I encourage you to watch my other essential graphics
tutorial which shows you how to add things like motion to your text.
Ok so that's cool.
But before what would happen is I have this title up here but it's on a little bit too long.
And if I want to make it shorter naturally what I would do is take the end of this graphic and drag
it to the left.
Right.
But what happens when I do that well when I do that the keyframes that I had added are cut off as well.
So I have to extend this.
And then I have to move these keyframes or the opposite if I want to make it longer by dragging this
to the right.
The keyframes stay where I set them which is good for some instances but when you're trying to make
graphics shorter or longer it's not that beneficial.
So let's go back and set the end of our graphic right where that last keyframe is.
And now let's set the intro duration of our graphic to be exact and go to that keyframes That's 16.
So let's go to 16 and you'll notice when I do that it highlights this area on the time line up here.
Now for the Altro duration let's just put in one second.
So let me show you what that looks like.
So now that highlights a second and I can edit the lane of this sort of intro or Altro duration up here
now what that means is if I edit the length of this graphic shorter or longer everything within that
sort of intro and outro duration is sort of pinned to the end or the start of that clip.
So you see here if I make it longer the outro animation stays at the end of the graphic.
Awesome right.
It just makes it a lot more efficient.
I don't have to do two steps now where I would have to change the length of the graphic and change where
that keyframes are.
Now I can just change the length of the graphic down here in any sort of animation you have with keyframes
in your esset effects controls panel will be covered with this intro and outro duration.
So that includes scale rotation opacity all kinds of stuff.
One other thing one last thing I'm going to mention is that they have this new rule feature which is
great for end credits let's just delete this layer and then let's just add a new graphic text.
So I mean just copy this a few times put it OK.
Before if we wanted to create our custom and roll credits we'd have to do that with the position keyframes.
Now we have this role check box under a responsive design.
So check that on and automatically it creates this rolling credits.
And to make it shorter or longer or faster or slower we can just make this graphic shorter or longer
the longer it is the slower it will go.
You also have your pre-roll post-trial options if you want it to be black for longer before the TX rolls
through the screen you just add a pre-roll if you want it to stay black for a little while longer than
you just outed post-trial.
And then if you want it to ease in and out meaning that it's going to slow into this speed.
So let me just make this a little bit shorter so you can really see what that looks like.
Let's just add an easy ease in use out.
So what this means is it's not going to roll through at the same speed the whole time.
It kind of slows into it.
You can see that it gets faster as it goes through and then it slows down for end credits.
I typically don't have any easing so I won't use this but hey you might need that for something.
So that's a lot that you can do with this new essential graphics panel or with the old essential graphics
panel but with the updates we've covered the rolling credits we covered the responsive design time feature.
We cover it how you can now choose fonts more easily with favor adding.
We covered the responsive design position and all the new graphic assets are templates that you have
in the browse feature.
If you have any questions let me know.
Otherwise I'll see you in a another video helping you learn Adobe Premiere Pro.
