WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.803 --> 00:00:01.864 In this section, 2 00:00:01.864 --> 00:00:04.740 we're going to be looking at some of the visual effects 3 00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:07.543 and some of the fun things we can do 4 00:00:07.543 --> 00:00:11.984 to make our projects look better or more interesting. 5 00:00:11.984 --> 00:00:16.285 So in this lesson, we want to just learn how to add effects, 6 00:00:16.285 --> 00:00:18.810 learn more about what type of effects there are 7 00:00:18.810 --> 00:00:21.230 in Premiere Pro and the first thing we're going to do 8 00:00:21.230 --> 00:00:25.200 is I've just put together this sequence of this same clip 9 00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:26.872 six times with different effects. 10 00:00:26.872 --> 00:00:28.510 And we're just gonna watch through it 11 00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.493 and see all of the different things that you can do 12 00:00:31.493 --> 00:00:32.811 in Premiere Pro. 13 00:00:32.811 --> 00:00:34.676 So this is the first clip, no effects, 14 00:00:34.676 --> 00:00:37.260 just this couple walking down the beach. 15 00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:39.132 Let me just rewind just a bit. 16 00:00:39.132 --> 00:00:42.756 So walking down the beach, no effects, natural light. 17 00:00:42.756 --> 00:00:46.395 Here's another effect, this is a threshold effect. 18 00:00:46.395 --> 00:00:47.371 Get that black and white. 19 00:00:47.371 --> 00:00:49.679 We added some grain in this shot. 20 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.108 With this shot, we added this spotlight effect. 21 00:00:53.108 --> 00:00:56.877 With this next one we actually flipped the effect, 22 00:00:56.877 --> 00:00:58.687 so it's going to the left. 23 00:00:58.687 --> 00:01:02.327 And with this one, we added this bevel kind of style. 24 00:01:02.327 --> 00:01:05.722 And this is just scratching the surface on what types 25 00:01:05.722 --> 00:01:08.004 of effects you can add. 26 00:01:08.004 --> 00:01:10.504 If you go to your effects bin. 27 00:01:11.594 --> 00:01:13.317 Let me just close down these bins. 28 00:01:13.317 --> 00:01:17.635 You can see that there are so many types of effects. 29 00:01:17.635 --> 00:01:19.465 And if you open up one of these folders, 30 00:01:19.465 --> 00:01:22.903 you can see different adjustment effects. 31 00:01:22.903 --> 00:01:24.530 Changing the colour levels. 32 00:01:24.530 --> 00:01:27.125 Changing the highlight shadow levels. 33 00:01:27.125 --> 00:01:29.859 Under blur and sharpen, we can add blurs, 34 00:01:29.859 --> 00:01:31.568 different types of blurs. 35 00:01:31.568 --> 00:01:32.865 Colour correction. 36 00:01:32.865 --> 00:01:35.233 These are all of your colour correction effects 37 00:01:35.233 --> 00:01:38.393 if you don't want to use the lumetri colour panel. 38 00:01:38.393 --> 00:01:40.068 The three way colour corrector. 39 00:01:40.068 --> 00:01:43.410 This is the main effect that we used to use as editors 40 00:01:43.410 --> 00:01:47.467 to colour correct our footage before the lumetri panel. 41 00:01:47.467 --> 00:01:50.552 One of the most fun bins is the stylize. 42 00:01:50.552 --> 00:01:54.362 We can make our videos have brush strokes 43 00:01:54.362 --> 00:01:56.835 to look like it's a moving painting. 44 00:01:56.835 --> 00:01:58.630 We can emboss the edges. 45 00:01:58.630 --> 00:02:00.318 We can create a mosaic. 46 00:02:00.318 --> 00:02:01.159 Texturize. 47 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.541 I'll let you go through all the effects, 48 00:02:03.541 --> 00:02:06.659 but I want you to understand how to use them first. 49 00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:08.173 With all these effects, 50 00:02:08.173 --> 00:02:10.666 you'll notice in our effects control bin or panel, 51 00:02:10.666 --> 00:02:14.083 that up here we have the effect settings. 52 00:02:15.523 --> 00:02:17.680 So for threshold, it's simple. 53 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.154 The level of the threshold. 54 00:02:19.154 --> 00:02:21.757 We can increase or decrease the amount of threshold 55 00:02:21.757 --> 00:02:25.924 allowing more of the highlights to have some black texture. 56 00:02:28.511 --> 00:02:30.282 But if we decrease it all the way, 57 00:02:30.282 --> 00:02:34.034 only the dark parts of this image get this sort 58 00:02:34.034 --> 00:02:35.514 of dark silhouette. 59 00:02:35.514 --> 00:02:36.560 If I turn this off, 60 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.206 you'll see just the dark parts right here. 61 00:02:39.206 --> 00:02:43.822 And this image is actually a good one to see this out on 62 00:02:43.822 --> 00:02:46.468 because there are so many highlights 63 00:02:46.468 --> 00:02:49.133 on this bright, warm beach. 64 00:02:49.133 --> 00:02:51.642 So you can adjust all of your levels 65 00:02:51.642 --> 00:02:53.766 with the effects controls. 66 00:02:53.766 --> 00:02:57.933 Here we have the noise effect added and we have 25% noise, 67 00:02:59.041 --> 00:03:02.534 which is actually a lot more than I typically would add, 68 00:03:02.534 --> 00:03:05.432 but I wanted to just really show you what happens 69 00:03:05.432 --> 00:03:06.722 when you add noise. 70 00:03:06.722 --> 00:03:08.785 So if you want to add a little bit of dust and grain, 71 00:03:08.785 --> 00:03:10.925 make it a little bit noisy, 72 00:03:10.925 --> 00:03:14.390 like an old film camera, use the noise effect. 73 00:03:14.390 --> 00:03:17.804 The noise type, I uncheck the use colour noise 74 00:03:17.804 --> 00:03:21.548 because the colour noise if I make it a lot bigger, 75 00:03:21.548 --> 00:03:24.055 you can see that it has all these 76 00:03:24.055 --> 00:03:26.555 red and green and yellow dots. 77 00:03:28.602 --> 00:03:30.814 I like just the black and white noise 78 00:03:30.814 --> 00:03:35.378 and typically maybe around 10% or so, just a subtle amount. 79 00:03:35.378 --> 00:03:38.040 Just a very subtle amount. 80 00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:41.098 With this next one, we have a lot more options. 81 00:03:41.098 --> 00:03:42.830 So this is the lighting effects. 82 00:03:42.830 --> 00:03:46.997 You have multiple lights that you can add to your clip 83 00:03:47.907 --> 00:03:48.883 with this effect. 84 00:03:48.883 --> 00:03:51.123 I'm just using the light one. 85 00:03:51.123 --> 00:03:53.051 All of these effects adjust something. 86 00:03:53.051 --> 00:03:57.789 So the centre will adjust where your light is set. 87 00:03:57.789 --> 00:03:59.972 Both the major and the minor radius will adjust 88 00:03:59.972 --> 00:04:03.309 how big and small your light is. 89 00:04:03.309 --> 00:04:07.334 The angle will adjust where it's coming from. 90 00:04:07.334 --> 00:04:09.983 I wanted to match where the sun was coming from 91 00:04:09.983 --> 00:04:10.937 for this clip. 92 00:04:10.937 --> 00:04:14.404 So it looks like that spotlight is actually just the sun. 93 00:04:14.404 --> 00:04:17.379 The intensity is how bright or dark the light is. 94 00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:19.227 You can actually make it darker. 95 00:04:19.227 --> 00:04:22.954 And the focus is how wide or narrow it is. 96 00:04:22.954 --> 00:04:26.704 How much of a sort of feathering does it have 97 00:04:27.793 --> 00:04:30.056 into the rest of the footage. 98 00:04:30.056 --> 00:04:31.594 And this is just light one. 99 00:04:31.594 --> 00:04:33.657 We can add another light if we wanted to. 100 00:04:33.657 --> 00:04:34.882 Go into light two. 101 00:04:34.882 --> 00:04:38.573 We can change from none to another spotlight. 102 00:04:38.573 --> 00:04:40.257 And we can move this around. 103 00:04:40.257 --> 00:04:42.416 Do anything we want with it. 104 00:04:42.416 --> 00:04:44.269 With the next clip, we just flip it. 105 00:04:44.269 --> 00:04:47.452 So we used the horizontal flip effect. 106 00:04:47.452 --> 00:04:51.458 And it just flopped the image from right to left. 107 00:04:51.458 --> 00:04:53.432 And it just flopped the image, so now they're walking 108 00:04:53.432 --> 00:04:55.018 on the left hand side. 109 00:04:55.018 --> 00:04:56.759 And sometimes flipping and image can make 110 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.539 a more dynamic shot or dynamic transition. 111 00:05:00.539 --> 00:05:04.034 Right here we have the action of this footage, 112 00:05:04.034 --> 00:05:06.284 over here in the bottom left corner. 113 00:05:06.284 --> 00:05:09.580 Say we have another shot that we're cutting to after this 114 00:05:09.580 --> 00:05:12.662 that has the subject down here in the bottom left corner, 115 00:05:12.662 --> 00:05:15.674 we wouldn't want the subjects of this shot 116 00:05:15.674 --> 00:05:17.100 to be on this corner 117 00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:20.168 and then the next shot, the subjects on this corner. 118 00:05:20.168 --> 00:05:22.311 It's a more fluid and peaceful transition 119 00:05:22.311 --> 00:05:26.203 if the main eye catching subject is in the same, 120 00:05:26.203 --> 00:05:29.401 relatively the same area of the frame. 121 00:05:29.401 --> 00:05:30.883 So using the horizontal flip, 122 00:05:30.883 --> 00:05:33.337 we can make this shot match that. 123 00:05:33.337 --> 00:05:35.601 And then with this last one, this is just the bevel edges. 124 00:05:35.601 --> 00:05:38.737 Just another effect you can see 125 00:05:38.737 --> 00:05:40.495 that I can adjust the bevel edges, 126 00:05:40.495 --> 00:05:42.498 where the light's coming from to create that shadow 127 00:05:42.498 --> 00:05:43.581 on the edges. 128 00:05:44.849 --> 00:05:48.193 The colour, so we want to make this something wild and fun 129 00:05:48.193 --> 00:05:51.310 with like a blue edge or something like that. 130 00:05:51.310 --> 00:05:53.835 And then the intensity of the light. 131 00:05:53.835 --> 00:05:57.021 Again how contrasty we want that light. 132 00:05:57.021 --> 00:05:58.921 To learn all of these effects, 133 00:05:58.921 --> 00:06:01.384 it would take a very long time for me 134 00:06:01.384 --> 00:06:03.887 to walk through every single one. 135 00:06:03.887 --> 00:06:06.865 So what I think you should do, 136 00:06:06.865 --> 00:06:09.198 and the way that I learned these effects, 137 00:06:09.198 --> 00:06:11.376 is just to play around with them. 138 00:06:11.376 --> 00:06:13.431 Just go one at a time. 139 00:06:13.431 --> 00:06:15.798 Add them to your clips. 140 00:06:15.798 --> 00:06:17.349 See what it does. 141 00:06:17.349 --> 00:06:19.198 Say hey, what's this auto colour. 142 00:06:19.198 --> 00:06:20.468 Let's drag it onto our clip. 143 00:06:20.468 --> 00:06:23.533 It's automatically adjusting the colours of our footage. 144 00:06:23.533 --> 00:06:27.084 See this on and off makes it a little more contrasty 145 00:06:27.084 --> 00:06:30.342 and that's actually pretty darn nice I would say. 146 00:06:30.342 --> 00:06:32.566 So the auto colour is a cool effect. 147 00:06:32.566 --> 00:06:36.089 And just go through them and see which ones you like. 148 00:06:36.089 --> 00:06:38.004 There's some that I've never even touched 149 00:06:38.004 --> 00:06:41.592 and some that I use almost on every project. 150 00:06:41.592 --> 00:06:44.952 If you have any specific questions about a specific effect, 151 00:06:44.952 --> 00:06:46.055 please let me know. 152 00:06:46.055 --> 00:06:48.630 I will be covering some of the ones I use most 153 00:06:48.630 --> 00:06:51.084 in the next few lessons. 154 00:06:51.084 --> 00:06:53.174 Otherwise, just have fun with it 155 00:06:53.174 --> 00:06:55.138 and we'll see you in the next lessons.
