Premiere Pro Daily Creative Challenge - Create Impact

[Music] all right mm-hmm hello everyone and welcome back to the premier Pro daily creative challenge day - so nice to see all of you my name is Jason Levine principal worldwide evangelist for Adobe Creative Cloud and Wow yesterday was our first day for the premier Pro daily creative challenge and it was nothing short of actually pretty amazing we almost tripled the amount of people in the discord so thank you to all of you who signed up immediately and got involved in the challenge this is something new for the video side of our business you've seen the incredible daily creative challenges with illustrator which has kind of been revamped and really taking off Photoshop and xD well now we've got premier into the fold as well so I want to thank everyone for their submissions and remember that we've got four more days of this to you know refine some skills have some fun and then create and collaborate with a totally new community with our new premier Pro discord so as always want to mention that of course we're coming to you live on Adobe Live as well as on the Creative Cloud Facebook page and Twitter periscope now if you want to follow what's happening you want to follow the conversation you want to get involved in the challenge the chat is happening at Behance net slash Adobe live so that's where you want to be that's where I'm gonna be answering questions as we're going live we've got a couple of mods on the YouTube side and on the Facebook side but all the stuff is really happening at Behance net slash Adobe live okay so let's talk about getting into the challenge if you missed kind of yesterday and maybe you're starting today so I'm gonna just switch my screen over here real quickly after a couple of quick shout outs of course hello Dereje hello Karima valdaire chad hammer car Chris how are you doing William Agnew Robert all right Jeff gift couteau Munir so nice to see you Carrie alright great how you doing there Paloma cecilia F's minik who's ready for day two yes Jenna Bickford Steve kosabu my dear friend from New Zealand great to see was always Jordan Crawford Jennifer Lottie and so many others thank you so much for joining okay so let me just switch my screen over real quickly here and talk about getting involved in today's challenge so you're going to go to Behance net slash challenge / premier and this is where you will enter the daily creative challenge page for premier all right and you'll see here you'll have a button to take the challenge when you do that of course each day you're gonna receive a new challenge today's challenge is creating impact we're gonna focus on leveraging two specific features in Premiere Pro time remapping and warp stabilization for fixing handheld or shaky footage you're then going to want to join the community chat and this is key now I talked about this yesterday and I and I can't emphasize this enough this is so awesome because this is basically oh what am i doing this is opening up for you a whole new network of peers doing the same kind of work so if you want to get involved in the discord again this is where you can ask questions this is where you're ultimately going to submit whatever you're working on today or the stuff that you're still finishing from yesterday or all throughout the week you're going to submit it to the premier Pro discord here again the community is growing so quickly over there it was really really kind of amazing and quite heartwarming to see so many people join up on the discord and already starting conversations so get involved in the discord you can ask us questions there any time I've got lots of Adobe people in there answering questions aside for myself this is a great way to again connect connecting this new work from home remote world that we're in and find other like people who are doing the same kind of stuff and get inspired by the things that you're very peers are doing you're gonna join the community chat you're gonna watch this live show you can ask questions live as well and then of course you're gonna share and get feedback to that discord you can share this video in the discord whether you embed it from YouTube or Vimeo or Twitter now some people yesterday had a couple of issues that were new to discord they were trying to upload the video directly and you can do that but there's an 8 megabyte megabyte limitation for uploading video to discord it probably files in general so getting you know 10 15 20 seconds of HD 1080p which all of this footage is 2 8 Meg's can be a little challenging unless you're gonna really drop the quality down so I would highly recommend you know throwing a link in there embedded from something like again Facebook Twitter whatever or you can even add drop a Dropbox link in there or a Creative Cloud storage link if you so desire okay alright so again today you're gonna unlock the challenge it is create impact and when you join the discord by the way here it is again we've had so many amazing submissions already you can kind of get an idea here look at all these I I was I was so pleased and shocked and like honored that so many people got into this even even pros because the level of creativity by taking just a couple of clips that I shot on a safari and seeing what people did with them I mean it was so awesome it inspired me it will inspire you again you've got lots of different categories here we have challenge you know asking questions just random stuff introductions we're gonna have some tips and tricks as you begin to build up the discord here so this is another place to really connect directly with us in real time all right can't emphasize that enough so cool so so awesome to get involved with that okay so without further ado and if we've got time at the very end I'll show off at least one or two from yesterday that really kind of spoke to me again this is just it's it's a way to get you involved to get you inspired and to get you kind of using some new products if you're not using Premiere Pro all the time by the way it's also worth pointing out that if you go to your creative cloud desktop this of course is where you can download Premiere Pro and all the applications and it's also worth pointing out this was announced two weeks ago that we also have now everybody has access to the digital video and audio betas so Bay the versions of in-progress versions of all of the digital video and audio applications you can now access here if you want to learn more about that there's information here on the site you don't have to do it they can coexist side by side by the way if you kind of want to see you know stuff that we're working on as it's in progress and you can submit feedback and things like that there too okay alright so just in a couple of quick things let me just check back over at our chats here see if there's anything else alright amrik are some of the submissions were really Pro yes indeed Derek Laurie how you doing great to see you alright Aria Wagner hey not too late at all it just in time Sean great energy thank you so much alright so much good inspiration and they're premier Pro daily challenges says Jason Rose the community demanded it we've brought it to you this is not fake excitement this is genuine excitement and if you watch me before you know I don't say things I don't mean it's so cool to see so many people sharing ideas and getting inspired by this stuff and augmenting it with your own creations too there was tons of stuff yesterday that had audio and color grading all these things that we didn't touch upon so remember I'm gonna show you a couple of things in here how you submit the challenge with this footage is entirely up to you so with that when you download that second challenge you're going to be able to import the footage and just real quickly we're not gonna overdo not gonna redo the entire overview of yesterday but if you're inside of the project panel here easiest way is simply to double click in the gray space you'll navigate to your folder wherever you downloaded that content I have mine in a folder here as you can see called - - day - Tuesday April 28th I'm just gonna select all of those clips and click import it's that simple and when you do that it's gonna bring in all that footage now I have it currently viewed in what I showed you yesterday which is our icon view again this just allows you to see all of the footage at a glance and you can see today yesterday we were doing animals on Safari today I went since records bicycle spokes and Alaskan waters this is just a hodgepodge of footage for you to create something interesting okay and again when you're inside the icon view as you hover over your clips you can scrub them to see the content that's inside them this is also where you can use the I & Oh keys on the keyboard to set in and out points okay alright just kind of showing you an overview of this footage here really kind of neat stuff a lot of these clips of the synths were stuff that I shot for a mini documentary about synthesis circa 1981 some of you will remember I've shown some of that in the process of some of that here on stream in the past it's still it's still in the cutting room it may never see the light of day as all good ones so alright first thing we're gonna talk about warp stabilization quite simply it's a way for you to stabilize or smooth out shaky handheld footage and all of us who shoot on phones or even with you know smaller handheld cameras if you're not using sticks or some kind of device to keep you stable you know invariably you're going to have some human handshake it's just it's just the way that it is so case in point here's a clip of this my mo Krogh synthesizer here where I'm doing a little bit of a rack focus down the front of it and if you take a look here you can very clearly see that while it looks okay and I'm doing this nice little whoops I'm doing this nice little focus pull sorry skipped ahead there um it's very handheld right I mean no no mistaking that this was not on a tripod this was done you know me holding the camera it's not super shaky not like I had too much caffeine that morning but it's shaky enough okay here's how we fix that it's real simple and again you can use this in any way that you like on these cliffs including some of the clips from yesterday if you want to reintegrate some of those we're gonna go up to the effects menu worth pointing out again that I'm in the a modified version of the editing workspace you can go there by going to window workspace --is editing you can also customize all of these panels just like all the other Adobe apps with the clip selected or highlighted you can tell that because it has this white frame around it I'm simply going to double click the warp stabilizer or you can click and drag it over top of the clip I'll double click here and you'll see that it's going to begin its analysis let's click over to the effects controls tab where here is now where you can see that it's actually processing all those frames and it's doing it very quickly it is now stabilizing and it's done okay now if we play this back take a look we've got some very smooth almost looks like it was on a dolly kind of motion here right look at that ah beautiful makes that rack focus so much more impactful and powerful and your whole brain isn't going oh god stabilize dude here's the before I mean already it's just like bouncing up and down alright here's the after smooth as silk okay now you have lots of different options he to modify what it's doing because by nature of warp stabilization sometimes you kinda can get these hmm warped edges and things depending upon the movement now we don't have enough time to cover all the aspects of what this does but there's two important three important things I want to point out well first of all one of the things that it's doing when it's fixing all of that shakey motion is that it has to scale things up typically a little bit in this case it only had to do about a scale of a hundred and one point nine percent so just about two percent more than the original but if you go into this menu here the framing menu you'll see that the default setting is stabilized crop and auto scale now if we just stabilized only what you're going to see it you're gonna see these black bars around the edges of the footage because it's showing you what it had to do to stabilize and bring all of that movement sort of into the center on an unencumbered and unhindered by your physical movement right so you're seeing those edges right that's without cropping it and resuming it so you have stabilized only stabilize with crop stabilized crop and auto scale that's the default it'll just bring everything into view so you don't see any of the letter boxing or pillarboxing and that does exactly what you want to do now you've got also two different types of resultant stabilization smoothing motion right to kind of smooth out those rough handheld edges or no motion whatsoever and then you have different methods for how you want to smooth it out now again subspace warp is our default that is the nature of the warp stabiliser but you can also control things like position scale rotation or perspective so let's go to this next clip here all right this is a little shot of my turntable playing some Verve record from the came out in the early 70s about the modern 20s I think this one even has some audio on it all right so let's take a quick look at this all right so again very handheld and you can also see that I'm I'm pushing forward as it's playing back right so we kind of have a combination of things happening here and I want to fix that now when I originally did the warp stabilization by smoothing that motion I was getting some of those weird it was really stretching out the tonearm it was looking very bizarre so for this particular one I've chosen no motion and perspective instead of the warp let's go ahead and turn that on you'll see that it's scaled up a little bit alright and now when I play this back what no motion is doing is it's looking at that foreground sharp element in this case the are cartridge here are the cartridge and stylus and it's locking that down right and just eliminating all motion now you're seeing some of the bounce of the vinyl and you're seeing a little bit of slight warping movement in the cartridge there because it it was moving right as you know if you've ever watched a stylus and a cartridge on on vinyl there's there's a lot of there's some movement there's bounce there's give there's some side tilt or shift depending upon how you have things balanced so you know someone might say oh is too much movement well again here's the before alright and here's the after and you can see it's just totally locked down now if I change that to smooth motion by the way you can do that and it'll instantaneously re-stabilize you're seeing how it's trying to kind of smooth out that that push that I'm doing but for my eye it's it's making that that short cartridge you're actually seeing it almost expand and get a little bit weird it's not bad and you know if this were an insert shot I probably wouldn't think about it but I'm just seeing I'm just seeing some weird lateral movement there that I didn't love so for this particular one no motion just kind of works for me and it looks like it's locked off it looks like this was on a tripod alright and you're paying attention to that you're trying to read the tag oh it's Oscar Peterson so you know it's just super cool again can really change the way you view your handheld footage very very quickly what's up Terry white okay are you a walker how are you switching between play and reverse it looks like you used a hockey yeah so I don't use a lot of shortcut keys um JKL on your keyboard will shuttle and by the way this works in that hover scrub preview mode as well so L to go forward k to stop or pause and J to go backwards so L to go forward k to stop pause J to go backwards LJ LJ and then I can enable or disable the effect in real time and that's called our uninterrupted playback this is something we introduced in Premiere probably cc a couple years ago I don't know AUSA Featherstone how do you know when to use the perspective method you just have to try out the different options so again if you're getting very strange warp e looks to things okay I just kind of reconfigured this one if stuff is just looking kind of stretched out or bizarre like right now I'm using the default subspace warp and smooth motion do you see how it's it's kind of stretching and elongating the cartridge here and I just didn't like the look of it so I literally played around I'm like okay you know what it's not the position that we're trying to really stabilize so first of all I eliminated motion but then it was still kind of weird it's the perspective I want to maintain because I'm doing this weird push right it's almost like a strange parallax perspective for this kind of shot at this particular focal angle focal length just kind of worked there's I mean there's there's a more scientific answer I could give you but ultimately you just have to play around and try and see what's gonna work best all right Felix super handy Steve sweet nice Bernadette nice okay sweet all right so kind of just gives you a quick overview of warp stabilization alright this is another clip I stuck in here because it's got some audio from the original casio VL tone circa 1981 if anybody remembers so this is just a clip with you know a rack focus you can see we start you know sharp and in focus right here on the edge I mean this is shot probably f28 you can see the plus/minus here and then I just rack all the way down to the other to the other buttons until it's totally out of focus so you can see down here we have rhythm and rumba adjacent to Samba bossa nova and rocks one and two so this is just kind of a cool shot showing off some natural bouquet of D focusing the focus ring alright all shot with the Netcom d800 so this one it's in to be interested to see what you do with it all right now maybe with this one you use warp maybe you're gonna use some time remapping and that's we're gonna go to next cuz we've got eight minutes to do that alright so I have provided for you one two three three three clips for time remapping now you can use this on the clips from yesterday you can use this on anything now whenever you're adjusting speed typically you want to shoot at a higher frame rate because the more frames you have the better and smoother your slow motion in particular will be if you're trying to slow things down most of your cameras by default iPhone Android or still cameras will shoot video either at like thirty 2997 frames per second or 24 two three nine eight frames per second you can use time remapping and you can slow that stuff down but you don't have a lot of frames to work with so sometimes it looks a little stuttering I'm gonna show you a couple different methods a couple different ways to do it but I've provided some 240 FPS clips for you that you can use kind of as overlays and things that are kind of fun to work with and here's how it works so again one of the things you're going to want to do from yesterday when you import these bike Clips bring him into the timeline and expand the track height alright you're gonna want that because what you're going to do is you're going to right-click on this little effects badge here you can see this little gray effects badge right click control click and you'll see that it has motion opacity and time remapping and you're going to choose time remapping speed all right so go ahead and choose speed on that and now what that does is it turns this envelope this this line here into a speed percentage where you can now adjust the overall speed of the clip so if I just take this line and I drag it down and you'll see I don't know if y'all you'll you'll be able to see the tooltip here hold on let me um let me move so you can see it better okay now you can see the tooltip alright so it's showing you the percentage I'm gonna take this 240 frames per second down to 10% all right which is technically playing it now 24 frames per second as if it were 24 frames and now you can see that it is just incredibly smooth incredibly fluid and beautiful okay we're already on two I have a clip over top of that there that's why alright that's if you wanted to adjust the entire duration or the speed of the whole clip simultaneously but typically what we want to do is we want to create some kind of a ramp where we start out at one speed and then adjust to another speed so here's how we're going to do that so once again I'm gonna play this back that's by the way that's real time right now alright and let's just play a few seconds one two stop right here and instead of dragging the line I'm gonna hold down my command or my control key on Windows and I'm going to click on that line and what that's going to do is it's going to give us this little two-sided keyframe if I grab the edge of this now you'll see that I'm now able to create this little handle so now when I drag down the line we'll go to say 10% all right I now if I now if I click on these handles I now have a little handle that I can adjust the ramp into the speed all right as even like a Bezier you can see it doesn't have to be fully linear it actually has a nice curvature to it so you see this a lot in commercials right it doesn't just necessarily go right into a speed change sometimes there's a little ramp into the speed change so you can adjust that ramp into the speed change let's shuttle forward here a little bit and then let's hit the command control key again all right I'm going to Ray 'is this backup let's do say 104 percent alright now let's adjust oops let's adjust a little ramp right there too okay if we want like that I'm zoomed back out all right so real time real time slow it plays slowly for X number of seconds and then okay speed ramping now if you go into the effects controls you will see that you can also perform this operation here you can use the add keyframe button you can adjust those ramping values here just as we did before all right if you twirl down speed this will actually show you the same Bezier handles so you have a lot of flexibility here all right the key is I want to see what you're able to do using some stuff with speed now by the way I mentioned you've got a couple of different methods that you can use if you right-click on the clip and go to speed duration the default is frame sampling okay this is also gonna allow you to reverse things frame sampling is pretty good that's what we're using right now plays in real time real easy frame blending don't recommend that one why cuz that you could actually start to see in some cases the frames overlapping this is typically what you see when you're working with 24 frame footage kind of looks a little chunky the other option here which I'd recommend if you're going to try this on some slower clips not shot at 240 FPS or 120 is optical flow now if you choose optical flow for your for your your speed method here your speed time remap method you're going to want to go up to the sequence menu and you're probably gonna want to render the selection because optical flow it just needs a little bit more mmm to be able to play back in real time just so that you can see what you're doing most effectively alright and then the last thing that I wanted to show you here was just to give you an idea of something you might do with some of these clips so as mentioned I've got a couple of Clips here of Alaska and some other stuff I want to point out that inside of the effects controls we also have blend modes so under opacity on this Alaska clip I'm gonna choose the overlay blend mode and now if I play this back what you can see is that we have our time remapped wheel with that Alaska shot behind it look at how it's like really making those colors pop it's just I mean they're blend modes it's it's something that everybody here understands you use these in Photoshop you use these everywhere you have blend modes and premiere so this is how you can get a little bit more creative with the footage from today because you've got bikes water and synthesizers and vinyl how all those tied together I don't know exactly all right we are almost out of time so so we're gonna go and I wanted to show you just really quickly one one challenge from yesterday in particular that I loved this was from film for food and just take a quick look at this of how they approached our Safari footage using some very cool sound design elements as well as some additional graphical elements - check this one out this is a submission from yesterday [Music] all right really really cool stuff so much more to do I want to point out of course that if you haven't already gone to the discord hears that you are URL again go to the premier Pro discord this isn't just for the challenge this is a new place for you to go and meet with some of your peers and talk about the stuff that you love get feedback on your work submit things ask questions we're all there waiting for you but we are out of time so I'm excited to see what you're going to do today and I'll be answering your questions on discord so we've got more coming up we've got another challenge coming up just now so thank you again have a great rest of your morning afternoon evening wherever you are in the world and we'll see you again tomorrow take everybody bye-bye you
