(rock music intro) 2 2
Instructor: Let's discuss how to put 3 3
celebrities or well-known brands 4 4
on your images and so, as always, 5 5
we're just gonna hit shift, 6 6
highlight those two items there, 7 7
delete them, and then what we're gonna do is 8 8
we're actually going to insert-- 9 9
I've got these two images here, 10 10
Oscar, who is a celebrity, I guess (laughs) 11 11
and then just a template of myself 12 12
and I'll explain why in a second, so 13 13
what we can also do is highlight these two, 14 14
copy them, and then just paste them directly here. 15 15
Okay, great. 16 16
So, let me first of all ignore Oscar for a second, 17 17
this here is the original template that I use for all 18 18
of my vlog thumbnails, you know this was from 19 19
I think episode 56, I'm well into the 20 20
hundreds now of episodes. But this was the 21 21
branding format I used, initially. 22 22
And I didn't intro and outro as well, I just 23 23
found it took up too much time, when people 24 24
were watching my videos to watch the 3-second 25 25
intro and 3-second outro. Okay, so, here's what 26 26
we're gonna do. 27 27
We're gonna put--and the reason this is black, 28 28
by the way, is because I used to put here the title 29 29
of each of my vlogs and so, what we'll do 30 30
is we'll put the title in first. Okay, and so, 31 31
this vlog--and if you get a chance, 32 32
it's episode 56, you can go to my YouTube channel 33 33
and check it out. It's all about getting people 34 34
out of your life that bring you down. And so, 35 35
the name of this one here is 'Cut These People Off 36 36
Get Them Out of Your Life' so I will just in 37 37
CAPS 'Cut These People Off... 38 38
Get Them Out Of Your Life', of course 39 39
the color is off here, I will fix that. 40 40
Okay. And what we'll do is, we can just go 41 41
and make the color of this white. Okay. 42 42
Okay. And then we'll make the font size way 43 43
bigger. 44 44
Okay. 45 45
And then we'll center it as well. 46 46
We'll bold it, we'll select 'Helvetica' which 47 47
might make this size too big. 48 48
'Helvetica'... 49 49
And then we'll make it slightly smaller. 50 50
Okay. That's good, that's good. It's not 51 51
perfect, but it should be good for now. 52 52
Okay. And before we touch the image here 53 53
let's jazz this up a little bit more. 54 54
It's got a nice pop to it, but let's see if 55 55
we can make it even a little bit more 56 56
pronounced. So, let's right-click, and we'll go 57 57
'format shape.' And then what we'll do is, 58 58
we're gonna go with 'Text Options' and 59 59
I'm just gonna use the default settings 60 60
they have here, see if that helps us. 61 61
3-D Format, actually let's just go to shadow first. 62 62
Shadow wouldn't do much because there's black 63 63
back there, right? So maybe we try a slight glow? 64 64
Maybe we try a glow that's slightly green, 65 65
just to match Oscar. 66 66
It's okay, not amazing. 67 67
What happens if we change the transparency? 68 68
Like, a very, very slight, very slight, okay, cool. 69 69
And then let's go down here and use the bevel 70 70
for a slight 3-D pop. 71 71
That looks kind of nice. 72 72
That's fine. Okay. Not perfect, but it's good 73 73
enough for this example. Okay, so, we're done there 74 74
with this--and what I actually did was I, I'll 75 75
copy and paste this again. I used to write down 76 76
here and I'm trying to replicate the image 77 77
which I used. This was episode... 78 78
number 56. 79 79
Yeah. 80 80
Okay. 81 81
All right that's fine. 82 82
And then we'll go here, and with Oscar, as always 83 83
we're gonna try to get rid of that background, 84 84
and you know how to do this, 85 85
we talked about that before. 86 86
You just go to 'Picture Format' here 87 87
and then 'Remove Background', now, it might be 88 88
a bit tricky, actually it's worked out okay, 89 89
but it might be a bit tricky on some of these 90 90
images because they're not the highest resolution 91 91
images. And usually the bigger the file size mean 92 92
the high resolution, the easier it is to remove 93 93
the background and manipulate images in general. 94 94
Okay. 95 95
So, let's go to mark areas to keep... 96 96
Okay. And you're going to find it's not perfect, 97 97
but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put a glow 98 98
around it, just to mask the imperfections 99 99
on the side. All right. 100 100
All right, almost done. Whoops, control z. 101 101
And that's good enough. It's not absolutely 102 102
perfect, that's okay. All right. 103 103
So now what we're gonna do is we're gonna select 104 104
'Keep Changes.' And then I'll put around this, 105 105
a glow, and I'll make it kind of a greenish 106 106
glow as well, and I should probably make Oscar 107 107
slightly bigger, actually. 108 108
That's fine. Yeah. 109 109
That's good, okay. Looks nice actually. 110 110
All right, so what we'll do is, we'll go to 'Format Picture' 111 111
and we'll put maybe a green outline around it. 112 112
I'll make the green outline a little bit more 113 113
pronounced with him. Okay, so we'll go down 114 114
here to green, and then I'll make this size 115 115
a bit more... 116 116
Yeah, like that. 117 117
And the font's a little tough 118 118
to read, so I'll move the font over slightly. 119 119
Okay, that's good. That's good enough for this 120 120
example here, and as always, all the files 121 121
are attached here. All right, next step is, 122 122
we are going to export this. Before I do so, 123 123
I want to make sure that that bleeds over a 124 124
touch, use the arrows up and down, left right. 125 125
That's good. Okay. 126 126
Then we're gonna go up here to 'File', 'Export', 127 127
and we're gonna call this 'Celebrities or Brands.jpg'. 128 128
Okay. 129 129
Export, and let's see what the file size 130 130
is, we'll go over there and check out the file size. 131 131
The file size is 213 kilobits. 132 132
That's great, that works out great. Okay, cool. 133 133
If you have any additional questions, 134 134
please let me know. Thanks.
