WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.058 --> 00:00:02.336 Here is another practise activity, 2 00:00:02.336 --> 00:00:05.222 but this one's a little bit tougher than the previous one. 3 00:00:05.222 --> 00:00:08.006 So I'm actually just going to walk you through it. 4 00:00:08.006 --> 00:00:11.716 The activity or the challenge is to remove noise 5 00:00:11.716 --> 00:00:13.234 from your video. 6 00:00:13.234 --> 00:00:16.317 What I mean by noise is when you shoot with a camera 7 00:00:16.317 --> 00:00:20.314 and you boost up the ISO to make it brighter, 8 00:00:20.314 --> 00:00:22.603 this happens a lot when you're shooting at night, 9 00:00:22.603 --> 00:00:25.264 if you're shooting, you know, event videography 10 00:00:25.264 --> 00:00:27.370 at a wedding or something like that. 11 00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:30.882 You just need to boost your ISO to be able to see. 12 00:00:30.882 --> 00:00:35.313 I shot this clip of my cat Zora, and she was under 13 00:00:35.313 --> 00:00:37.403 the bed, and this was actually shot during the day. 14 00:00:37.403 --> 00:00:39.073 It was really dark down there, but this was shot 15 00:00:39.073 --> 00:00:40.406 with 64,000 ISO. 16 00:00:44.016 --> 00:00:47.217 That's really, really high, and that's why when I 17 00:00:47.217 --> 00:00:51.081 zoom in and I go over here, especially in the darker 18 00:00:51.081 --> 00:00:52.896 parts where there's not as much detail, 19 00:00:52.896 --> 00:00:55.263 you can see all of this noise. 20 00:00:55.263 --> 00:00:58.577 It's kind of like digital grain that you get. 21 00:00:58.577 --> 00:01:00.255 So how do we fix that? 22 00:01:00.255 --> 00:01:03.123 We're going to fix it using After Effects. 23 00:01:03.123 --> 00:01:05.752 And I know you may not have After Effects, 24 00:01:05.752 --> 00:01:08.893 but if you have subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud, 25 00:01:08.893 --> 00:01:11.484 you should be able to download After Effects. 26 00:01:11.484 --> 00:01:15.166 It comes with any Creative Cloud subscription. 27 00:01:15.166 --> 00:01:18.345 And I do a lot of work with After Effects 28 00:01:18.345 --> 00:01:20.411 and Premiere Pro combined. 29 00:01:20.411 --> 00:01:21.982 And the great thing about it is that 30 00:01:21.982 --> 00:01:24.648 you can use them together seamlessly. 31 00:01:24.648 --> 00:01:26.222 They kind of talk to each other. 32 00:01:26.222 --> 00:01:28.887 And I'm going to show you how to do that right now. 33 00:01:28.887 --> 00:01:31.012 First, go ahead and open After Effects, 34 00:01:31.012 --> 00:01:33.593 and you don't need to know how to use After Effects 35 00:01:33.593 --> 00:01:38.288 to learn what I'm going to teach you in this class. 36 00:01:38.288 --> 00:01:40.910 This is a completely different course that I have 37 00:01:40.910 --> 00:01:42.954 if you want to learn yourself. 38 00:01:42.954 --> 00:01:46.068 You can learn how to use Adobe After Effects. 39 00:01:46.068 --> 00:01:47.001 But for now just open it, 40 00:01:47.001 --> 00:01:49.120 and you don't even have to open it. 41 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.753 All you have to do is go to your Premiere Pro clip 42 00:01:51.753 --> 00:01:53.961 that you want to edit in After Effects. 43 00:01:53.961 --> 00:01:55.967 Right click it and say 44 00:01:55.967 --> 00:01:59.472 Replace With After Effects Composition. 45 00:01:59.472 --> 00:02:01.812 What's going to happen is it's going to open up 46 00:02:01.812 --> 00:02:03.903 in Adobe Premiere Pro. 47 00:02:03.903 --> 00:02:06.344 You're going to want to save this project, 48 00:02:06.344 --> 00:02:08.628 so just click command-S. 49 00:02:08.628 --> 00:02:10.892 And it might prompt you before. 50 00:02:10.892 --> 00:02:12.730 And just save it as whatever. 51 00:02:12.730 --> 00:02:16.184 I'm going to save it as Practise. 52 00:02:16.184 --> 00:02:17.766 And I was already playing around with this, 53 00:02:17.766 --> 00:02:19.837 so I'm going to replace that. 54 00:02:19.837 --> 00:02:22.819 After Effects works somewhat similar to a video editor, 55 00:02:22.819 --> 00:02:25.984 but it's really different, so it might be kind of confusing, 56 00:02:25.984 --> 00:02:28.829 but you have your timeline down here with your clips, 57 00:02:28.829 --> 00:02:32.078 you have your project bin over here with your video files 58 00:02:32.078 --> 00:02:34.101 and your sequences, or in After Effects 59 00:02:34.101 --> 00:02:36.032 we call them compositions. 60 00:02:36.032 --> 00:02:38.097 You have your composition window where you see what 61 00:02:38.097 --> 00:02:40.205 you're working on in the middle. 62 00:02:40.205 --> 00:02:41.960 And then you have all sorts of other windows that you 63 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.482 can go open and close by going up to Window and 64 00:02:45.482 --> 00:02:47.043 then checking them on and off. 65 00:02:47.043 --> 00:02:48.733 The only one you need to have on 66 00:02:48.733 --> 00:02:52.229 is this Effects & Presets panel. 67 00:02:52.229 --> 00:02:56.396 Go to your Effects & Presets and type in Remove Grain. 68 00:02:57.376 --> 00:03:00.096 It's under the Noise & Grain folder. 69 00:03:00.096 --> 00:03:02.489 And just literally drag and drop it either right here 70 00:03:02.489 --> 00:03:04.535 in the middle of your composition window or 71 00:03:04.535 --> 00:03:07.246 down here on this layer. 72 00:03:07.246 --> 00:03:09.830 What happens is your Effects Control panel, similar 73 00:03:09.830 --> 00:03:13.580 to in Premiere Pro, will pop up, and the Remove Grain 74 00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:15.152 setting pops up. 75 00:03:15.152 --> 00:03:18.413 We have this preview little square that shows us 76 00:03:18.413 --> 00:03:21.580 what it's actually going to look like. 77 00:03:22.777 --> 00:03:24.969 And we can move this around by clicking in the middle 78 00:03:24.969 --> 00:03:26.597 and dragging it over. 79 00:03:26.597 --> 00:03:28.350 And I'm going to do that to somewhere 80 00:03:28.350 --> 00:03:30.991 where I can see more of the grain. 81 00:03:30.991 --> 00:03:32.161 Then I'm going to zoom in. 82 00:03:32.161 --> 00:03:34.502 I can do that by clicking this little percentage. 83 00:03:34.502 --> 00:03:36.859 It might be a little bit different on your computer 84 00:03:36.859 --> 00:03:39.817 depending on how big your resolution is. 85 00:03:39.817 --> 00:03:41.992 And I'm going to say 100. 86 00:03:41.992 --> 00:03:45.992 And then with my hand, by pressing the space bar 87 00:03:47.008 --> 00:03:50.337 on your keyboard, I can click on this composition window 88 00:03:50.337 --> 00:03:51.910 and move it around. 89 00:03:51.910 --> 00:03:54.299 So just make sure you're pressing hand so you're not 90 00:03:54.299 --> 00:03:56.551 actually moving the clip around, 91 00:03:56.551 --> 00:03:59.848 but just the composition itself. 92 00:03:59.848 --> 00:04:02.327 So you can already see that this has helped a little bit. 93 00:04:02.327 --> 00:04:06.244 Inside the box there's less noise than outside. 94 00:04:07.157 --> 00:04:09.718 We can go down to our Noise Reduction Settings 95 00:04:09.718 --> 00:04:13.525 and quickly just increase the Noise Reduction to two, 96 00:04:13.525 --> 00:04:16.051 and then the Passes, let's just drag all the way up 97 00:04:16.051 --> 00:04:20.234 to six to get it all the way as good as possible. 98 00:04:20.234 --> 00:04:21.877 To preview the whole clip, you can change this 99 00:04:21.877 --> 00:04:26.064 Viewing Mode from Preview to Final Output. 100 00:04:26.064 --> 00:04:28.146 It's going to process it and then it will show you 101 00:04:28.146 --> 00:04:29.977 what it looks like. 102 00:04:29.977 --> 00:04:32.921 And if we turn this effect on and off by clicking 103 00:04:32.921 --> 00:04:35.479 this fx button right here, we can see it 104 00:04:35.479 --> 00:04:37.418 on, off, on, off. 105 00:04:37.418 --> 00:04:39.841 And you can see how much that actually does. 106 00:04:39.841 --> 00:04:42.652 There's a lot of more advanced fine tuning you can do, 107 00:04:42.652 --> 00:04:45.897 but for us, all you need to do is really just increase 108 00:04:45.897 --> 00:04:48.220 the noise reduction to however much you want 109 00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:50.723 and then increase the passes as well, 110 00:04:50.723 --> 00:04:53.138 which will do it even better. 111 00:04:53.138 --> 00:04:58.052 I'm going to change the view percentage to Fit up to 100%. 112 00:04:58.052 --> 00:05:01.121 The one thing that increasing noise reduction does is 113 00:05:01.121 --> 00:05:05.326 it can make everything seem a little bit blurry, 114 00:05:05.326 --> 00:05:07.960 so if we turn this on and off, you might be able to tell 115 00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:11.622 a little bit of a decrease in the sharpness, 116 00:05:11.622 --> 00:05:15.857 but for this image, it actually does a pretty good job. 117 00:05:15.857 --> 00:05:20.074 So now in Adobe After Effects, we've added the noise removal 118 00:05:20.074 --> 00:05:22.041 or the grain removal. 119 00:05:22.041 --> 00:05:24.135 How do we get this clip back to Premiere Pro 120 00:05:24.135 --> 00:05:26.235 with this effect on it? 121 00:05:26.235 --> 00:05:28.850 All we have to do is tab over or go back 122 00:05:28.850 --> 00:05:30.573 to Adobe Premiere Pro. 123 00:05:30.573 --> 00:05:35.082 In our sequence, our clip has turned into this little 124 00:05:35.082 --> 00:05:36.999 red linked composition. 125 00:05:38.213 --> 00:05:40.292 And if we go to our project, we have this 126 00:05:40.292 --> 00:05:42.727 Practise Linked Composition. 127 00:05:42.727 --> 00:05:46.894 This is taking it from After Effects, and it has replaced 128 00:05:48.248 --> 00:05:50.744 it with the After Effects file. 129 00:05:50.744 --> 00:05:53.786 So if you want to get back to it, what you can do is 130 00:05:53.786 --> 00:05:57.613 right click it and go to Edit Original. 131 00:05:57.613 --> 00:06:01.130 And it will open up this project in After Effects 132 00:06:01.130 --> 00:06:03.225 if you've already closed it down. 133 00:06:03.225 --> 00:06:07.405 So that's how you use what's called the Adobe Dynamic Link 134 00:06:07.405 --> 00:06:12.227 to edit a project in After Effects and Premiere Pro. 135 00:06:12.227 --> 00:06:14.261 There's all kinds of other things you can do with 136 00:06:14.261 --> 00:06:17.505 After Effects including more professional green screen 137 00:06:17.505 --> 00:06:20.978 editing, adding all kinds of effects, and even 138 00:06:20.978 --> 00:06:22.591 titles and graphics. 139 00:06:22.591 --> 00:06:25.517 That's something for another course and something 140 00:06:25.517 --> 00:06:27.901 for another day, but it is good to know that there 141 00:06:27.901 --> 00:06:31.340 are some really cool effects that you can quickly add 142 00:06:31.340 --> 00:06:34.503 like this grain removal one. 143 00:06:34.503 --> 00:06:36.080 Thank you so much for watching. 144 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:39.171 If you have any questions about this effect or any others, 145 00:06:39.171 --> 00:06:42.881 let me know, and I'll try to respond as soon as possible 146 00:06:42.881 --> 00:06:45.048 or add another lesson to the course. 147 00:06:45.048 --> 00:06:45.881 Bye.
