If you want to go to that next level
of Premiere Pro experience then there are a couple of effects from
your Library that you should know about. These are popular effects that
are used for many applications So let's see which one they
are and how they work. What up, guys! Jordy here for cinecom.net and welcome to another exciting
Premiere Pro tutorial. This time we're going to take a look at five
very popular effects from the Library that are used very often and they have
many applications, so let's get right into it. The first one that you should know about is the
Transform effect, let me search that from here, Transform right here under Distort. I'm going to drag that to
my first example here, it's just a simple text file and
the Transform effect actually has all the basic properties that you can
also find in the Motion here on top. and those are the Anchor Point,
Position, Scale, etc. Now, why should you use this effect
over the standard properties? Well, here's why, guys. I'm going to animate this text,
for example, the position, I'm going to put this text
outside of the canvas, create a keyframe for that,
go a little bit forward in time, and bring that back into the frame, like so. And if I'm going to play this we'll
just have a standard animation, something that we could have also created
with the normal properties here on top. But, this effect has an extra option. Down below here you can uncheck
"Use composition's shutter angle" and set one of yourself and that way we can
also add a little bit of motion blur to this text which makes it more natural. So I'm going to set the shutter
angle here to 180 ° which is a standard motion blur, and right away you can see kind of
what it does here to the text, If we're going to set this number
higher, so for example 250, then you will see that there's going
to be more motion blur to it and now the animation looks a lot more
natural because of this motion blur. So if you are doing any sort of animations, always make sure to use the
Transform effect for that. Let's have a look at the second
example, right here. This time I'm going to search for the
Track Matte key inside my Effects Library and it's right here underneath the Keying. What I have here in this example, guys,
is on top I've got this graphic here, and these are just two rectangles
that I put on top of each other, nothing more than that, you can actually
create any kind of shape that you want, you can do that, by the way, from
the Pen tool down below here, and just draw your own shape
or use any of the presets, such as the Rectangle
tool, or the Ellipse tool. And what we can do now is kind of map
the clip that we have down below here, which is this waiter, to that graphic. So let's do that, I'm going to drag the
Track Matte key to that clip below, and from the properties here
I'm going to say that the Matte is going to be on video channel number 2,
which is that graphic that I've created and right away you will see that
it will use that graphic as the Matte and now we have this image
and our nice creation here. And a great thing is that we can always
change the graphics afterwards, for example, I can take this shape
here and kind of move it elsewhere, and you'll see that we can create
different shapes from that. So this is definitely an effect that it's used
very often to create custom transitions because we can also animate
these graphics here, of course, you can let them come in here from the right,
for example, and do all sorts of things. Alright, so that's it for the second effect
that you should always know about. Let's head over to the third one, I'm going
to go back to my Effects Library and just search for the basic 3D. Also an effect that -I believe-
is overlooked sometimes, we can actually create some sort of
a 3D effect inside Premiere Pro. It's not the same as in After Effects, of course,
but it's all about the ending result and I do believe that, often
for the small things here, that this Basic 3D effect
has some cool things here. We can create nice animations,
for example, have it kind of turn around a couple
of times here, to then reveal a sort of text. Or you can also work with
like multiple layers in here and make some sort of
a cover flow effect, where you have like different
objects coming in and out, but kind of have that 3D
effect to it, so for example, this text here starts first
here on the left side you know, and as it kind of
comes in here from the right we then also kind of swivel
that, so that it sits straight. And that way we kinda have
this more 3D effect to it. I'm actually using this a lot. Also, another great application is to use
this inside lower thirds animations, where you have kind of the text
coming in here on the bottom and you want to create this
nice animation over it. We'll just kind of use the basic 3D
here to have it do something. For example, we can let it come in from the
right side here, let's just do that quickly. You want to create a keyframe
for the position, and actually I should be using the Transform
effect right now, so I'm sorry for that, don't pay too much attention to it. All right, so the swivel effect, also I'm
going to create a keyframe for that and just let that go to the zero. And now we kind of have
something going on like this. There we go, a nice additional movement
to the text that is coming in. Also tons of possibilities. Now guys, I wanna take a very quick
break to thank the sponsor of this video which is Videoblocks! It's a huge library full of stock footage,
as you can see right here. They also have things like assets, like explosions and muzzle effects, etc. that you can all download unlimited,
with an account on this website. You also have tons of templates, for example
these nice Title Animations here and also lots of stock footage
like we've seen before. There's also something pretty cool
here that they've introduced, you can actually get some nice discounts if you are signing up today
at videoblocks.com. For example, you can actually get 20% off
a full year on a Premiere Pro subscription. Also if you are a Vimeo Pro user, then also
there you can find some nice discounts. To find out more information
about all off these great things just visit the first link in the description below
and that will bring you straight to their website. But we have two more awesome
effects, so let's check them out. In the next one we've got this pretty girl
walking, looking into the lens, but something went wrong here, guys,
actually we weren't allowed to film her. So what I've done here is duplicated that layer
and actually created a mask around her face and tracked that mask together with her. And this is actually being used very often,
you can also do this on license plates, etc. and in the Effects Library what I'm going
to do now is search for Mosaic, there we go, and just drag that to
that second layer, like so. And because I've masked her face
out from the Opacity here, let me just disable that
first layer just for a moment, so that you can see what we're
actually working with here, just her face that has
been masked, like so. So, right here we've got that
Mosaic effect onto it and we can actually change how
many blocks that you want in here. For example let's put this on 50 to 50 ratio and now we have got this very
natural blurred out face, like so. Something that is also used very often
is just the normal Gaussian blur and here we also have
a nice tip for you guys, I'm going to search for Blur in the Effects
Library right here, the Gaussian blur. You've probably heard about this before but what I do want to show you guys are these
kind of, these icons here on the right side. You've probably notice them before but
might never asked yourself what are these icons. Well, the first one here is
pretty important actually, it stands for that it is
an accelerated effect and this means that it goes together
with your graphical cards, meaning that it will render a lot faster. Even dragging this Gaussian blur
on top of the first layer here and then we just set that
Blur for example to 20, or even more, let's set that to 50,
because she cannot be recognizable and I can just play this back
in real time very fast. But, if I'm going to take something
else like the Camera Blur here which doesn't have that icon of the
accelerated effect here in this first column, then you will see that I have some
more trouble to render this. So I'm going to stand in the beginning
of this clip, play this back and you'll see that it just
takes a while before it starts and it definitely not plays back smoothly. So if you want to save time then
always go for that Gaussian blur, or just look for other effects that have
that same icon here, next to it, which will render a lot faster. Alright, and then there's
one last effect that I believe any advanced Premiere Pro
user should know about. I'm going to go to my
Clips folder right here, I don't have it in my timeline yet
because it actually works before... ...we are going to drag
this into the timeline. Right here, guys, I've got a shot of a girl
that I was following with this bouquet and I actually have my camera upside
down on the Ronin gimbal. So we're gonna need to flip this image
and there are two ways to do that, we can drag this clip into the
timeline and then kind of do it, but I always like to look for the
correct shot here in this long clip. for example, right here, set my
In point and my Out point and then drag that into the timeline. But it's very hard to focus on what's actually
happening here because it's upside down. So I'm just going to go to my
Effects and look for the Flip. And we actually have two Flips here
the Horizontal flip and the Vertical flip. This is something that all users forget, but if you are filming upside down you actually
have to flip it both horizontally and vertically. And by holding down the Ctrl key
you can actually select both of these effects and drag that into the Source
monitor on your clip and this way you can now kind of view this
clip in your Source monitor while it's flipped. And, for example, I'm going to
pick out some nice shots here, right here where she's kind of picking up
one of those marshmallows or whatever that is, and then eats that up. So I wanna take this shot right here and
drag that into the timeline, like so and we'll kind of remember that so I
don't have to add those effects back into it. So it's definitely something
that is used a lot and I believe not really an effect that you're
going to do much with in your edits, so that's why you can already
put this effect on your clip before you're actually going
to bring this to the timeline. Alright guys, that was it again
for this awesome tutorial, or more of an information video. If you have any other effects that any advanced
Premiere Pro user should know about, let me know in the comments below, it's
very nice to share that with the Community. Thank you guys so much for watching, make sure to subscribe to
our channel, and as always... ...stay creative!
