WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.214 --> 00:00:01.047 In this lesson, 2 00:00:01.047 --> 00:00:03.131 I wanna show you how you can adjust effects 3 00:00:03.131 --> 00:00:04.921 with the key frames. 4 00:00:04.921 --> 00:00:07.372 So this will allow you to create 5 00:00:07.372 --> 00:00:11.040 an effect transition onto or off of a clip. 6 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:14.127 So here's this shot that I have of the Swiss Alps 7 00:00:14.127 --> 00:00:16.169 that I shot while I was on a trip 8 00:00:16.169 --> 00:00:19.176 to Switzerland with my wife, 9 00:00:19.176 --> 00:00:22.165 and say we want this shot, 10 00:00:22.165 --> 00:00:24.738 maybe this is the end of our film, 11 00:00:24.738 --> 00:00:25.853 or the beginning, 12 00:00:25.853 --> 00:00:28.611 and it's going to start off on the shot, 13 00:00:28.611 --> 00:00:31.490 and then we want it to blur so that we 14 00:00:31.490 --> 00:00:33.940 can add a title over it. 15 00:00:33.940 --> 00:00:37.122 Let's go down to our blur sharpen effects. 16 00:00:37.122 --> 00:00:41.669 We're going to add the Gaussian blur to our clip. 17 00:00:41.669 --> 00:00:43.394 When I do that, nothing happens. 18 00:00:43.394 --> 00:00:45.656 Wee have to go to effects controls, 19 00:00:45.656 --> 00:00:47.797 and first we're going to set 20 00:00:47.797 --> 00:00:50.530 a key frame for blurriness at zero. 21 00:00:50.530 --> 00:00:52.923 So I'm gonna go to where I want it to transition, 22 00:00:52.923 --> 00:00:55.386 maybe right around four seconds, 23 00:00:55.386 --> 00:01:00.249 set that key frame by clicking this stopwatch icon, 24 00:01:00.249 --> 00:01:03.914 then go maybe a second or two later, 25 00:01:03.914 --> 00:01:07.073 and now I increase the blurriness. 26 00:01:07.073 --> 00:01:08.904 Something like so, 27 00:01:08.904 --> 00:01:09.810 and with this effect, 28 00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:12.530 I'm going to repeat edge pixels. 29 00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:15.220 You see here that as I increase the blurriness, 30 00:01:15.220 --> 00:01:18.347 the edge gets a little bit dark. 31 00:01:18.347 --> 00:01:19.288 I don't want that to happen, 32 00:01:19.288 --> 00:01:22.040 so I'm just going to click this repeat edge pixels, 33 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.226 and that makes the edge not have that shadow on it. 34 00:01:26.226 --> 00:01:29.228 So now if I play through this, 35 00:01:29.228 --> 00:01:32.239 it transitions into this blur. 36 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:33.963 This is something that you can do to, 37 00:01:33.963 --> 00:01:37.529 sort of replicate a blur of focus 38 00:01:37.529 --> 00:01:41.074 if you were doing it manually out there in the field. 39 00:01:41.074 --> 00:01:44.689 Sometimes that works better than others for different shots, 40 00:01:44.689 --> 00:01:47.862 and now with the blurred out background, 41 00:01:47.862 --> 00:01:50.465 we can actually add some text to this 42 00:01:50.465 --> 00:01:52.444 so it will appear a little bit better. 43 00:01:52.444 --> 00:01:54.162 Let me just show you that really quickly. 44 00:01:54.162 --> 00:01:55.585 So if I go to my project tab, 45 00:01:55.585 --> 00:01:57.102 click the new item button, 46 00:01:57.102 --> 00:02:01.207 click new title, just gonna leave it at title one. 47 00:02:01.207 --> 00:02:04.664 Then if I just add this title in the middle, 48 00:02:04.664 --> 00:02:07.248 we'll just call this "The Alps". 49 00:02:07.248 --> 00:02:09.717 Exclamation point. So exciting. 50 00:02:09.717 --> 00:02:12.932 I'm gonna change this to Helvetica. 51 00:02:12.932 --> 00:02:14.448 Change it to bold. 52 00:02:14.448 --> 00:02:18.615 Then use the centre options right here to centre this text. 53 00:02:19.587 --> 00:02:22.749 Maybe add just a little bit of an outer stroke, 54 00:02:22.749 --> 00:02:24.043 just a black outer stroke, 55 00:02:24.043 --> 00:02:26.822 clicking the add stroke button. 56 00:02:26.822 --> 00:02:29.043 Increase the stroke size. 57 00:02:29.043 --> 00:02:30.460 Exit out of that. 58 00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:32.127 Add this to my clip. 59 00:02:33.584 --> 00:02:35.889 Lemme just show it to you what happens. 60 00:02:35.889 --> 00:02:38.020 So here, before it's blurred out, 61 00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:39.240 yeah it's visible, 62 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.297 but right here, when it does blur out, 63 00:02:42.297 --> 00:02:44.428 it's much more visible. 64 00:02:44.428 --> 00:02:45.733 So with this kind of transition, 65 00:02:45.733 --> 00:02:50.460 I would probably create a fade on for the title 66 00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:54.460 as the blur of the background starts to come on. 67 00:02:56.002 --> 00:02:57.094 On the timeline up here, 68 00:02:57.094 --> 00:02:59.213 I'll go to this first key frame, 69 00:02:59.213 --> 00:03:02.382 and I can get to it by clicking this button right here, 70 00:03:02.382 --> 00:03:05.928 these buttons are the go to next key frame button, 71 00:03:05.928 --> 00:03:09.635 and I'll make sure that on my timeline down here, 72 00:03:09.635 --> 00:03:13.057 my cross dissolve starts at that point. 73 00:03:13.057 --> 00:03:15.757 And then I'll go back to this timeline, 74 00:03:15.757 --> 00:03:17.697 go to the next key frame, 75 00:03:17.697 --> 00:03:20.094 which automatically jumps my timeline indicator 76 00:03:20.094 --> 00:03:22.053 down here to this point, 77 00:03:22.053 --> 00:03:25.096 and I'll increase the cross dissolve to that point. 78 00:03:25.096 --> 00:03:28.276 So both the cross dissolve and the blur happen 79 00:03:28.276 --> 00:03:31.178 at the same time, at the same rate, 80 00:03:31.178 --> 00:03:33.302 and that looks pretty darn cool. 81 00:03:33.302 --> 00:03:35.622 So that's how you can use key frames 82 00:03:35.622 --> 00:03:38.056 to adjust the settings of an effect 83 00:03:38.056 --> 00:03:42.223 and create that animated effect on or off of your clip, 84 00:03:43.463 --> 00:03:46.230 or just more or less dramatic. 85 00:03:46.230 --> 00:03:48.265 So maybe it's already blurred, 86 00:03:48.265 --> 00:03:50.696 and then we wanna make it even more blurry, 87 00:03:50.696 --> 00:03:51.663 we can do that. 88 00:03:51.663 --> 00:03:56.027 Let's just set a key frame here again for 49. 89 00:03:56.027 --> 00:03:59.978 Because if I just went here and increased it to whatever, 90 00:03:59.978 --> 00:04:03.512 194, then that means that this key frame to this key frame, 91 00:04:03.512 --> 00:04:06.516 there will be an effect or an animation, 92 00:04:06.516 --> 00:04:09.291 but I want it to stay at 49 for awhile. 93 00:04:09.291 --> 00:04:11.818 So set a key frame there for 49, 94 00:04:11.818 --> 00:04:13.266 and then go forward, 95 00:04:13.266 --> 00:04:16.183 change this to whatever, 200 or so, 96 00:04:18.325 --> 00:04:22.663 drag this key frame to the end of the clip, 97 00:04:22.663 --> 00:04:24.134 and maybe that would be a good place 98 00:04:24.134 --> 00:04:26.972 to fade out of the title. 99 00:04:26.972 --> 00:04:29.665 So let's just fade out of the title here. 100 00:04:29.665 --> 00:04:31.998 Make it a little bit sooner. 101 00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:35.240 Kind of a cool effect. 102 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:36.950 Anyways, I think you get the point now 103 00:04:36.950 --> 00:04:39.718 how to add key frames to your effects. 104 00:04:39.718 --> 00:04:42.272 Have fun with it and we'll see you in another lesson.
