Video & Audio Masterclass | 5 Hidden Gems in Premiere Pro

[Music] [Music] well all right hello good morning good afternoon good evening wherever you are in the world my name is jason levine and thank you so much for joining me today here on adobe live youtube and twitter periscope for my adobe video and audio master class today focusing on five hidden gems in premiere pro and adobe media encoder so you know over the last couple of fridays we've been switching back and forth between video and audio workflows and i thought for today after we've been doing this premiere pro daily creative challenge all week which has been amazing and i want to point out that if you haven't done it already if you haven't even started to investigate the daily creative challenges for video highly recommend you going to behance dotnet challenge slash premiere sign up and get started in fact here i can just show you real quickly i'll bounce over to my screen here so you can see the url for yourself it's been so much fun the community has really embraced this um it's just been awesome there's a discord that we've set up where we've got nearly already we're approaching a thousand members let's get to a thousand by next week that would be amazing we were at just about a hundred on monday if that tells you anything so the community is growing it's been awesome it's just been just an incredible experience as always and i'm so grateful for all of you for tuning in and watching and inspiring me and inspiring others in taking these challenges okay so as always we're going to uh get started in just a moment here um i'm going to be following primarily the chat over at uh behance.net slash adobe live so i know we've got some people coming to us uh on the youtube side what's up africa motivation hello jim tillman my dear friend jim tillman how are you doing i'll be speaking with you later today hussein al-masowi nice to see you gregory braco great to see you as well and we've got howard pinsky my good friend and fellow colleague howard coming to us we've got seva and baptiste and jacob hoffman from massachusetts and uh gary whipperman adam levine wishes he was as cool as jason ah that's very nice fun fact my middle name is adam uh wade acuff what's up how are you all doing daniel newman thank you so much steve kosobum always nice to see you from new zealand michael frost butter from la all right so many great laura sveeland thank god it's friday absolutely couldn't agree more and of course all of our mods and regulars in the adobe chat alright so let's go ahead and get started here i'm going to switch over to my screen and we're going to start with the first first hidden gem feature it's actually a combination of things and it involves using the options or the wrench menu inside of the program monitor all right so you know as with all of our adobe apps there's lots of different ways to see things to enable certain functions and usually there's multiple locations in the app where you can do that let alone all the keyboard shortcuts that you can use to do that now anybody who's watched me over the years knows that i i'm so bad at keyboard shortcuts i just i think it's for years because when we used to travel before the days of live streaming i just didn't have the ability to memorize various keyboard shortcuts because we would go to different countries and um we would use the respective keyboards in those countries so if we were in sweden we use the swedish keyboard and if we were in germany we'd use the german keyboard well the configurations are all different the keyboard shortcuts are different they're not the same as the us keyboard so i just got used to using menu items because those are consistent regardless of language of the app so i'm really terrible at those what is my point about this the point is that if you go to the program monitor all right so we're here in the program monitor i don't know i just skipped ahead there sorry i like this first frame and in the program monitor i want you to click on the settings menu here also known as our little wrench menu there is a fountain of awesome things in here that you just need to be aware of that you can access from there yes you can do it in other places for some of these but for some this is the one stop location to actually enable some of these functions okay now you've got your standard options here like composite alpha multicam you can even enter the comparison view from here which is the same as this button which you can add down into the button editor comparison view again this is something we covered earlier this week with the daily creative challenge you can use this if you're doing like color matches or trying to grade two shots together it'll show you a side by side a reference clip your actual clip or a before and after so that's pretty useful standard stuff though this is also where if you're working in vr by the way you can access i don't have vr at the moment so but this is where you can enable vr video as well as access the various settings for how vr is displayed along with entering the adobe immersive environment if you're wearing a headset and with that headset if you have ambisonic audio capabilities this is where you can monitor ambisonics live as you're playing back the video so what does that mean if you're cutting vr you have an ambisonic soundtrack as you move your head with monitor ambisonics enabled it will also it'll follow your movement um as it's tracking your head so super cool to know where those are i've got a lot of questions about these because i did a vr video on how to work with vr and premiere about two and a half years ago these things weren't in there yet so i need to update that at some point okay then we have again a couple of additional standard ones but these are super important playback and pause resolution now the playback resolution is accessible right here okay and for anyone who's not familiar most of you probably are this just allows you to drop the visible resolution on screen to give you just better snappier faster playback if you're working with say 4k footage on a slightly older laptop maybe that's a little bit underpowered and doesn't have a lot of ram you're probably not going to be able to cut 4k at full resolution just because it's going to be a pretty heavy load on the system so you can change the playback to half res corduras and again depending upon the raster size here you'll see the options for 1 8 or 1 16. but this is completely non-destructive so all that does is it'll play every fourth pixel basically but when you stop or pause you can choose to pause at full resolution okay or you can have them synchronized full and full like i do here it just really depends on the configuration of your system now one feature that we don't get to talk about a lot that a couple of people have asked me about over the years we added this high quality playback setting because what you may have noticed as if you have playback and pause set to the same thing say for instance half res half res you may have noticed that when you when you stop or pause there's like a momentary visual shift and it the pixels look a little bit different so when you enable high quality playback from this menu when those two things are synchronized you will have the exact same display whether you're playing or pausing there's none of that momentary shift so that's what that feature does keep in mind that keeping high quality playback enabled is going to you're going to have a slightly heavier hit on your cpu and or gpu um primarily cpu here so keep that in mind i don't typically keep this on because it's not really an issue for me and i don't i don't mind that momentary thing and i usually don't keep playback and pause the same resolutions anyway if anything i'll you know again if it's like a whole bunch of 4k clips i'll cut it one quarter res and you can see you know especially like the text everything just gets real blocky oops let me wind back but when i stop everything sharpens up back to the way it's supposed to be right so again that's corduroy's playback full res stopper pause okay so just kind of essential to know where that paused resolution and high quality playback setting is all right two other things in this menu that i want to point out and then i'll go back to the chat here in just a second okay a couple of really useful things now you can access what we call showing audio time units in this menu as well now this is usually something that you'll modify down here actually no it's not there it's in it's in the flyout menu of the actual timeline right yes show audio time units here what is this function for so this takes you out of frame mode and puts you into again i i've been saying this for 20 years i don't know why we call this audio time units i don't i don't know where that comes from i'm sure there is a reason i'm sure it means something to someone it means nothing to me because what you're seeing is what you're working in are samples samples per second okay what's cool about that if you're going into samples per second is that now you can shift audio and video outside of the frame boundary all right so if you've ever done an edit and you know you've noticed like here i'll just zoom in here this is not necessarily going to make sense for this particular one because this is synchronized audio but let's just let's i'm going to unlink these for a moment here all right i'm going to drift this one around so let's say that you know here we are on a frame boundary okay and uh you know i'm looking at the sink of this but it's it's just not quite right oh and here i should i should be in regular frame so that you can see all right so here we here we are on this frame and you know things just aren't quite synced so when you're in audio time units this now allows you to move in one in this case we're in 48 kilohertz that's your standard for video so 48 000 samples per second so you can move in these extremely small intervals i don't know if the uh my little time indicator can be seen there let me see if that tool tip will show up uh you can't you can't see it hold on let me move this over zoom in let's see if you can see it now nope i'm trying to get it so you can see that i'm moving an individual oh there you go so i'm moving in individual samples now all right again you have a lot of flexibility here because you can slip and slide things outside of the frame boundary which sometimes for audio sync is necessary however caveat if you're going to go into this method you must remember to turn it off because if you stay in audio time units and you start moving stuff around you're you're probably going to screw things up at some point because you're going to be you'll think you're snapping to a frame boundary and you're not and you're not you're not going to understand why it's not in sync and it's just a chaos so just remember that if you're going to go into audio time units mode to remember to disable it okay last two things i'm going to show you in here that are really essential dropped frame indicator so this is really useful because again especially i just had someone in the discord yesterday we were talking about you know working with mixed formats so you have h264 and you've got some red footage and you've got some you know mirrorless or dslr could be could be mp4 could be h265 could be a combination of things maybe some mxf and you're playing back and while it might look good maybe it looks like you're dropping frames or you don't know you want to know am i dropping frames so by enabling this dropped frame indicator it's going to give you this little green light here when everything is going just fine zero frames drop during playback and now when i play this back if i drop a frame which i have not yet when i'm in quarter res right now let's see if i go to full res if it can play this back zero frames drop okay my performance is go my performance is going great today i'm not dropping any frames if you drop a frame this will turn yellow and it will tell you how many frames you've dropped during playback so all that really means is again it's just an indicator that hey you're hitting the system pretty hard maybe you want to drop your fractional playback to something a little more manageable like half res and do your cutting that way okay super useful i always keep this thing enabled the other thing here of course good old safe margins all right we don't really think about this too much these days um you know in the youtube world but it's still somewhat important i mean you kind of want to know sort of you know be i mean i i don't know i don't i have mixed thoughts on this you know when you were authoring dvds and things this was really important title safe action safe we don't really think so much about action safe anymore right we're not we're not we're not authoring dvds but there is sort of a specific kind of placement where you don't want to be in terms of placing lower thirds and things of that nature so this is really useful now this is going to segue actually into the next hidden feature so that's so it's the wrench menu the settings menu in the program monitor hidden gem number one the next one is the recent edition of rulers guides and snapping inside the program monitor uh in via the essential graphics panel so when we modified essential graphics i think it was maybe a little over a year ago i said two versions ago i'm kind of forgetting now um when we initially introduced essential graphics right and you could create graphics like this one you see here this was actually a a lower third that we just grabbed from adobe stock on the last stream while you have your basic alignment controls and things like that we didn't have any way for you to line things up visually in other words we didn't have rulers like photoshop we didn't have guides we didn't really have anything we had the safe margins but that was kind of it so you know if you wanted to really grid things out and line things up you'd probably create some kind of template like an overlay in photoshop and then you could use it here but everybody was saying you've got this in after effects you have this everywhere why why don't we have this here so you can enable this functionality up in the view menu here all right show rulers you can see now we've got those standard rulers here corresponding to the associated frame size and height so in this case you can see this is a 1920 by that's approximately 1080 right there okay so there's our rulers and then guides yes so now you can simply click and pull out guides directly from the ruler just like that and you can create your own schema you know if you have specific locations for where you want content to be you can save these out so you can see we've got some guide templates here i even have one called safe margin so here let's clear this let's open up one of my templates safe margins and this is a little custom safe margin one that i made okay if you go back under the view menu you can see that under add guide you've got some options here so you can display things you know again top or bottom but you can see i can just drag them from the top and bottom right from the ruler and just drag them out onto the canvas you can choose the color of those guides you can choose the orientation but again this doesn't this is just going to add one manually for you you don't really need to do that but this is where you'll effectively change the color so having rulers and guides is so useful because again if you're trying to align things it just makes a lot of sense but alignment alone is not enough because what if we actually want to snap things to a particular place well this is where this function which you can access through the wrench menu again is so so super useful and it is snap in program monitor now there is also a keyboard shortcut for this function let's go ahead and type some text here all right so we'll call this uh beulahland that is the name of this track all right and i'm going to just center that here oh here let me uh center justify as i always do and let's scale this up a bit okay i don't know what are these fonts that this keeps defaulting to nudista what is that i don't know i sometimes don't understand some of the font choices very nice okay all right so let's say i've got this text now now again um previous version how do i align this to anything i don't know well now you have some options so you can use a keyboard shortcut command or control on the pc when i do that you'll see now that as i approach the centers i get these snapping lines so this is exactly what you know and love from photoshop makes it really easy to align and snap things together similarly if you've drawn guides what it snaps to the guides so you just can't mis-misalign you can't align things incorrectly this just makes it so easy this is kind of one of those undiscovered things it's been around for at least a year and a half or so but not everybody would know it not everybody would see it you certainly wouldn't figure out that keyboard shortcut so again from the settings menu here if you simply turn on snap in program monitor and leave it there just like that all right now oh whoops did i just did i turn it on or turn it off turn it on there you go now i don't hands-free as i drag this around it's snapping to my guides all right snap it to the edge i mean it's i don't have to tell you the usefulness of this right it just makes sense so having that snapping capability so useful such a welcomed addition um absolutely love having this really really cool okay all right let's scroll back over here for a second and we're going to go to feature number three and let me go ahead and turn off my guides as well by the way when you want to make adjustments to these you have to have the program monitor selected so let's go up to this let's clear the guides but i'll leave everything on i'm gonna move over to uh the chat here real quickly bullseye media yes i was holding down the command key control key on the pc daniel newman no more hours of arrow keys up and downing it yes by the way it's also worth mentioning that if you also have multiple layers selected in the essential graphics panel here this was introduced a couple of years ago you know you can freely move things around but if you hold down shift just like in photoshop you can constrain horizontal or uh or vert i said it backwards horizontal or vertical movement by holding down shift all right so with multiple things selected so it's um it's just the way it's supposed to be right it's the way we want it it's the way it should have been it's the way that it makes sense all right i think i just kind of screwed that up i don't know what i did there hold on let me go back i don't know what i just did that looks better okay very good okay so here is the next thing that i want to show you which is again a really cool welcomed edition um inside of essential graphics and it's the ability to work with gradients on shape layers that you create for lower thirds or any graphical element so again now this was a template that we downloaded via adobe stock and it was a free one so if i type in lower third i might just see it populate here yeah so it was this one right here modern lines lower third really simple uh lower third right tells you a little bit about it it's using that oh that's why it defaulted to oswald that's this font okay shows you all the keywords for searching and everything else so i really like this one and it comes in clean and simple and really nice and of course you can edit all all parameters of this so if you don't like the fill color of that top line or the bottom line i can simply click on the fill and change them but what you'll notice is that you actually have fill options when you create graphics or shapes inside of the essential graphics panel by the way it's also worth pointing out you can do that here via this new layer button or you can draw them free form with the pen tool right here okay so always options all right so instead of going to solid now look what you have you have linear gradient and radial gradient options so if i go to linear gradient this is actually the color that i took before so i was trying to again using the eyedropper i kind of wanted this bottom line to have a gradient reminiscent of this color range down here all right you can make your adjustments just as you do in photoshop right here click ok and you even have editability of that here as well pretty cool let's go to the top line and do the same thing and now look at that oh it just looks so much i don't know what it is about just having a cool slick little gradient but it just this looks better right something about it just looks lovely let's go back into fill all right maybe we'll do a radial gradient on this one and uh let's see for color range should we do the same everybody knows i i start to get very nervous when working with color because i'm bad at it uh maybe blueish what do you think that could be pretty cool what what say ye all right something like that okay easy simple okay again you can see here you have your little controls on the gradient right here if we were to make this a little bit higher you can kind of get a better idea flip it around something like that and then readjust the height the really cool thing about this is that again now when i play this back those changes are just automatically applied like there's no render there's no anything it just it just works directly on screen so having that gradient capability in there is so nice gradients stress me out to no end because i you know when i'm drawing them in photoshop i i it's just not my thing so it's i do like so much experimentation it's impossible to to mess these up you can't get it wrong and again you can use the eyedropper to pick sample colors and do everything the way that you already know it just works as expected and it just gives it that little extra i mean now look i just customized this free lower third and i love this i will use this again rather than just having it kind of simple and although sometimes i like the simple plain look right nothing wrong with that either all right let's go back to our chats here see daniel newman that looks cool ish is my favorite color very nice giancarlo cisante how do you stabilize shaky footage actually covered this just two days ago on the daily creative challenge short answer is under your effects menu all right i'm not going to show that here because that's not today's stream but if you simply come up to effects and you type in warp what you want to use is the warp stabilizer that is how you uh fix shaky handheld footage all right let's see what else we got in here okay i'm like clippy but with great hair and better tips thank you thank you daniel anybody who remembers clippy clippy was pretty cute initially and then super annoying so hopefully i'm still the former and not the latter all right arya how are you good to see you again by the way your edit was so good i may actually show it at the end of this if we have time because i enjoyed it so much because you took the extra step to add a little musical musical edition in there you know what i'm talking about all right all right how do i zoom into the timeline so quickly oh okay so i don't know if you're asking how i'm doing that that is a function of the operating system so that's just using mac os's accessibility zoom just enabling that now what's curious is um i'm still on this production machine of mine i i have refused to move over to mojave because a lot of my plug-ins and things aren't yet supported under mojave so oh excuse me under catalina so i'm still on mojave on this system 10 14 6. and in mojave up until mojave so 10.14.6 versions of the mac os you had this smooth zoom now under catalina it's just automatic so this is a 2.5 x zoom under accessibility now it just goes you know regular 2.5x there is no there's none of that smooth sort of gliding portamento glissando transition which sucks um it doesn't look as pretty in catalina and they should fix that all right but otherwise as far as timeline if if you're talking about any other timeline zooming um the backslash key to zoom in and out of your full timeline and then i'm just using the plus and minus keys you know for regular zoom all right let's quickly uh just bounce over to uh youtube and see if you've got any questions over there as well okay yes in fact sharisa joseph you'll be able to watch this of course on the creative cloud youtube channel gregory bronco from long island what's up okay victoria paul sol hey hey hey how are you neopool send a save to brazil all right hello mr salapatas from greece okay very cool beptu bod hello all right so let's go back to premiere shall we yes okay what am i doing why am i doing this i have my stream deck whoops what just happened okay all right what was i on now that was feature three oh okay feature four so no more questions on uh gradients or shapes gregory bronco is gradient only available in adobe graphics i don't see just by typing text ah yes so excellent point so yeah if i come back to that and i don't i don't know the reason for this just yet but that is correct you'll notice that on text layers you don't have the gradients here you only have the gradient option available on graphics created in here if this is something that you want to see on text which obviously i do too i would recommend going to our user voice and if it's not already there is a feature request make that feature request this is also something you can do in the new um betas that we have now made available to all creative cloud users if you're so inclined because directly from the help menu in the betas this is a release version but there's actually a submit feature request function so again if you were to go to your creative cloud desktop app you will see a beaker here and it says beta apps and again for all creative cloud customers you now have access to i don't know that you're going to have access to illustrator necessarily but you'll have access to all of the video and audio applications as beta if you're part of other beta programs you'll see them there too and i am but premiere rush audition character animator after effects media encoder you'll be able to install all of these these can also install side by side they don't replace your existing install you do not have to replace them they can co-exist together and you can also kind of get to see what we're working on and uh the funny cool thing is is that you know some of these apps were updating daily so you can really get a peek inside of the development of things and influence the development of features as we move along okay from kevin can you shortly give a short overview of the whole video again uh i don't know what part of it you want but real quickly as far as the three things we've covered so the wrench menu so far three out of five right so the wrench menu the program monitor all your various views enabling vr and vr options pause and playback resolutions and high quality playback i showed audio time units for slipping beyond the frame boundaries showing drop frame indicators for if your system is having a difficult time and you're dropping frames during playback this will tell you that visually and then the ability to immediately show safe margins this also includes an area where you can add and show rulers and guides and snapping in the program monitor which is really one of the coolest things these can also be accessed with the program monitor selected under the view menu show rulers show guides ad guides snapping and guide templates and as mentioned you can save those templates out they're just like dot guides files by the way these dot guides files can also be imported into after effects which is super cool so you know you might have a a design for your your graphics or motion graphics that requires everything to be in a particular position or state this this will allow you to create that layout share it with your mograph designer and now they know exactly where all the graphics have to fall and where they need to be and where they need to land so it's really useful that you can share those and they're super small they're you know text file equivalents in size okay we would request gradient and text yeah gregory i mean go ahead and do it it may already be in there so i'm not entirely sure all right okay that's it for now no more questions okay what about over on the periscopes 8-bit blood it looks super dope thank you so much i agree and like you know i'm no designer i'm the first to say not i defer to others but even for me like just that subtle this right here because i'm borrowing that color and it's right it just it looks slick again i'm garbage at doing this but it just it just looks like oh by the way notice i just snapped that back into position like that was driving me nuts just so easy with snapping in the program monitor how did we do this before very painfully that's how it's not painful anymore all right okay you're fun thank you very much okay uh number four wow are we actually super on time might even in early today great i'll get to show some of the discord submissions number four is a feature that some of you may um wind up having to use so it's something called the time tuner and it's a function of the media encoder export in premiere and the idea behind this is if you have let's say switch back over to this for a second if you had something like a 30 second edit or rather you are required to deliver a 30 second edit or maybe it actually needs to be 29 seconds and if you're like in the u.s maybe you're in drop frame so it's 29 seconds and 29 frames okay so not quite 30 like that one frame difference um but you edit your final video and it's 30 seconds and 10 frames what do you do well in the broadcast world this is a real problem because they will bounce it they're they're or it'll get cut off so i don't know i don't actually know what happens anymore years ago they'd send it back and they go hey your credits are going to get cut off you need to re-edit this so you as the editor would have to go back scan through all 30 seconds and then find you know 11 frames or whatever it is to cut out manually right at a time loss to you so what time tuner does is it automatically looks at moments of inactivity no visual motion no sound and then it will seamlessly extract those frames to bring it to a desired length that you want up or down 10 percent all right so this is really effective and really really useful in broadcast environments it also works best where you have like you know interview style content documentary style content um things that don't necessarily have a lot of music or underscore if the underscore is buried and it's sort of again not meant to be heard not a big deal if music is a feature it can do some weird things because again it's going to try and look for silent areas inactive areas and it may cut the music but it's pretty good at preserving where there are timed cuts but it's really best for things like if you think about like a broadcast tv interview there's no music under the interview maybe in the outro in the intro there it doesn't matter so it won't affect that in any significantly noticeable way but we're going to get we're going to give it a little bit of a challenge here because i want to go ahead and uh do this with the piece that we edited yesterday so this is our cut to the beat piece all right let's play a couple seconds of this so this is me just kind of showing you how to automate to sequence drop-in markers then automatically had premiere place those cuts at the downbeat take a look [Music] okay one of my favorite shots of the rhino ever by the way we were now this was shot if you're wondering why is it why is the crop so tight um we were social distancing we were not even two meters maybe three maximum i don't even think it was three it was like two and a half meters from this massive creature in an open jeep in the middle of the bush in africa and i was shooting this with a 400 millimeter lens handheld so this is why it is so tight i mean i'm i'm zoomed all the way out but uh it was just it was just incredible anyway timed cuts and if we get to the end here here's my problem 3101 okay not an uncommon thing part of that is because it has to fade to black right so there's those few extra frames in there about 10 i usually give about 10 to 15 frames of black especially coming out of a cross dissolve and then i also have some audio trail off did it did it and i added some automated reverb to kick in at the end there so that it tails off to kind of fill the black all right but this added an additional 25 frames now the real challenge here of course is that i mean i could i could just cut all that back and just kind of make it super abrupt i don't want to have to do that and again this is only 30 seconds so it's not that big of a deal but if we're talking about a 30 minute tv show you know or a traditional you know 23 or 22 minute episode needs to be 22 minutes you know or 21 minutes you know 59 seconds and 23 frames but you're at 22 15 or 22 30. that's going to take you an enormous amount of time to find those individual frames where you know it just might be a moment of slightly longer pausing or something like that that you can take out that wouldn't be visually noticeable right so this is where time tuner can save the day and this is it's such a cool cool feature and again very much a hidden gem and uh undiscovered thing that we have inside of premiere so with your sequence selected if you go up to the file menu what what is going on there why why am i what was that huh the strangest thing i've ever seen why why is my file menu doing that do you see that nothing is available in my file menu what problems live i can't even close the app that's strange okay i will close it i'm gonna have to force quit it oh i don't have to force quit but let's let's just see let's just quit and come back all right oh i see you're talking about sabi sabi a resort where jason got these clips they take you out and open trucks and you can take pics of all the animals yeah and you know it's important to note uh arya and steve about that is sabisabi it's also while it's a protected private reserve they don't do any kind of assistance there so it's a natural preserve in the sense that it's it is survival of the fittest so actually you may have seen in one or one of those clips there um oh interesting i wonder if my drive went offline no how weird it just totally lost it just lost all the projects i was working on that's really bizarre all right well whatever whatevs we'll just go back to another recent one that i was opening very very strange very strange but i'm not going to worry about that for right now okay so oh what i was saying was though is that they don't feed the animals they don't assist the animals you know when i shot some of those that we used that i that i allowed many of you to use you know there were a couple of scenes that i didn't put in there where there were lions that were very they were bleeding and they were injured because apparently and and the trackers the people who work there they know these animals and they know the families of these animals and apparently that day that we were there shooting that particular day there'd been a um another another pack of lions that had come in and like the males were fighting and trying to take over and i guess this one male in particular who'd been there for a long time he was in the grass lying there immobile because he was really badly hurt you know but that's that's the jungle right so you know it's really interesting because there's some preserves and things where they you know they they bring in food for the animals they actually do stuff they don't do that here it's kind of amazing i mean that's what keeps the ecosystem so natural and alive and when you're there it's something else the protected parks are cool but they're a little different you see a lot of fences and you see a lot of assistance going on these it's watch out you know it's cool and it's also slightly terrifying okay time tuner so now wait a second i need to open up can i see my recent project i don't even see the recent one in here hold on let me see if i can find what what just happened i think my finder just barfed what is going on here all right test five yes let's go to dcc day five thank you heavens to murder okay is it bringing in this content it is slowly all right so let's go up to export media where i started five minutes ago glad glad i could just waste a whole bunch of time okay so here in our export settings if we go down about halfway you're going to see there's all these other tabs effects video audio multiplexer captions publish under the effects tab you will see all kinds of little hidden gems that you can add to your video including but not limited to the ability to add luts on export so this is particularly useful if you're doing dailies and you're shooting everything flat or raw but the client wants to see what did you shoot today well you know depending upon the client if you send them a bunch of flat raw clips that have no saturation and they don't know that they're going to think something's wrong so you want to usually put some kind of a display lut on there this allows you to do that just by enabling this and then you have access to all of the various luts uh that we have that you will normally see inside the lumetri color panel okay i'm just kind of showing you some of the examples of them here right super cool all right this also includes sdr conform image overlays name overlays time code overlays and then the time tuner and this is the one that is just super cool all right so again this is telling us current duration is 31 seconds and one frame we need this to be exactly 30. so i'm going to choose i'm going to type in my target duration so you can also just drag the percentage slider but i don't know what that percentage is so just type in your target and it automatically figures out what that duration is and you'll see you have preset use target duration or duration change in this case we're going to this target duration all right based on the timing here [Music] and that's all you have to do let's go and we'll export this as h.264 and i will use my youtube 1080p preset for that i'll just re-enable this sorry about that target duration type this back in choose your preset before you set your time tumor because then it's going to disable that because that's not part of that preset right by the way if i were to save this as a preset like always make things 30 seconds when i go up to the save preset button up here save effect settings so if i added a time tuner setting if i added a time code setting if i added the name overlay the image overlay the lut application all of that can be saved as part of the preset super cool right then you don't even have to think about it this will come into play in a few seconds when i show you feature number five because you might have a whole bunch of stuff dailies that you want to show the client and you want to do this process to all of them but i don't want to have to do it manually to all of them i'm going to show you how you can do it in an automated way which is super super awesome all right in fact yeah here why don't i even do that so uh well i'll time tune this one first and then we'll we'll make another okay so let's go ahead and we'll add the time tuner 30 seconds i've got my h264 custom here and let's go ahead and we're going to stick this on the desktop yes that's where it's going and click export actually and we can even import this back into the project all right cutting to the beat derek laurie finder is evil yeah i think that's what happened i think the finder crashed it it removed the the folder excuse me remove the folder and that's why i couldn't see anything to export because it wasn't seeing media and then when i relaunched it wasn't seeing the project but it's all there but something weird happened in the finder tricia kennedy ouch uh yeah hey you know it happens it just happens and that's it it actually wasn't premiere it was the finder in that case interesting yeah i've never seen that i've seen it probably once before you know yes indeed true nature that day i am going to show you the final product i have very very very excellent of you to ask so now that i've done that let me go into my project panel here let's go into our list view and that's called d4 cut to the beat let's organize by name here so i can see it i did just have this import right may have gone into another bin it's on the desktop either way i just exported it there where did i put it oh maybe it's in beulah land no it's not in there cut it can be somewhere in here great thank you search winning oh good grief gag me with a spoon already oh my god okay here it is you can see just exported okay here we go let's drag that in thank you i'll just place it in a new timeline okay and note 30 seconds also note it preserved all of my markers in there let's take a look and listen [Music] [Music] boom now as mentioned right this had continuous loud music that was the feature of the piece if you were listening carefully you probably heard some sections where it's like oh did the beat get slightly off or it sped up or slowed down because it was editing right frames not at audio unit level inside the music there but the cuts themselves remained in time so again if that were underscore not a feature of what was happening you wouldn't really notice if you weren't specifically listening to it you probably wouldn't really notice this was a bit of a challenge because i wouldn't recommend using that kind of piece for something like time tuner but you can and by the way at the end of the day who cares really unless of course you're like i mean unless i wrote that i should care it's my music but you see what i'm saying if it has to be a specific length we just did that in seconds we have to think about it right it's awesome it can really save the day but i told you where it works best you see where it works but there are some limitations to it try it experiment have some fun it's one of those hidden gems cool claudi hey what's up claudia's coming up next with the illustrator adobe illustrator creative challenge in approximately 13 minutes so you want to check that out for sure salvik chaka bharti one of your biggest fans love your style oh thank you so much and greetings from india my my favorite place in the entire universe all right arya yes good good ear there you heard some strange drum beats and that's the thing that's why i'm saying if music is the feature it's not a great solution all right if it's underscore and what i mean by that is right you have a scene where there's some just music underneath ominous whatever but it's not the feature you know the the dialogue is the feature you're not paying attention to music it's it's seamless you wouldn't you wouldn't notice you really don't it's it's quite amazing so it can be very very useful these days very few of us if we're not in the broadcast environment or delivering things for netflix do we have to be frame perfect on our deliveries but there are those cases where things do need ex have to have exact timings and this is a good way to ensure that all right wasn't perfect for this but still cool yes indeed nice nice all right wait a kef what's up go all right sweet okay wow so many of you in here today all right and the final the final final piece that we will discuss today is something called watch folders oh and i was going to make a preset that's right so remember i was just saying a couple minutes ago that uh what's really useful about creating presets here is that if you you know again had something that you needed to deliver to a client i'm using very obvious lut on here and you have a bunch of footage that you want them to see but maybe it's flat maybe it's not graded or maybe just for reasons that are many you need to add time code you need to add certain overlays like maybe we actually want to put you know here we can do format prefix and suffix source file name lots of different options here this is coming from an edit so this isn't going to matter in this case but what this will do is we can save all these editions that we're adding here as a preset so i'm going to call this uh youtube 1080p with overlays plus luts okay and click ok on that i'm saving the effects settings so that now becomes a preset in my h.264 user preset menu okay right there very nice alright so so now it's that time of day and i'm with the client and uh they're saying to me you know like hey um you know i want to see today's footage i want to see all the stuff that you shot you're going okay cool um do you want to see it with you know in some particular way oh here let me just close this and reopen that i don't want any weirdness with this since we had that strange strange moment with premiere a second ago they're like yeah i know i want to see all the footage but make sure that you put the time code and make sure you have our logo bug on it for security reasons and make sure you're adding a lut because we're going to have some of the you know some of the other people in the room with us and and they don't understand they don't understand flat so you know you're going to want to do this so that they can kind of get it and that it's going to look sort of finished to them okay no problem cool so to do that we can take all this footage and with two or three clicks in here we're going to set up what's called a watch folder and a watch folder is going to allow you to dump a whole bunch of content in there and automatically convert or export to a specific format with things like overlays automatically right so you can use this to convert a bunch of clips in the background or in the case of like i'm shooting stuff and i want to share it with people to quickly review it but i want to add my logo or my copyright or whatever you can create a preset and do that literally in seconds so here in media encoder up at the top you'll see that we have this thing here called watch folders i'm going to click on watch folder and we're going to click plus it's going to ask you well where do you want to put this folder so let's create a new folder on the desktop and we'll call it [Music] content brand okay so the first step is you create the folder okay and then once you create the folder you just need to choose what format you want to convert to now you can have multiple folders by the way uh we're just gonna use one today so we're gonna do h264 but more importantly i want to use that preset that we just created right super cool so now it's going to add a lut and it's going to add an overlay to every bit of footage that we drop in there okay here's how it works so over here oh by the way and under cue there's a function here to auto encode the watch folder so that means that whenever you drop stuff in there it automatically converts it i'm going to turn that off just for a second all right let's come back over here so here's our content brand folder down here okay and in here under this new content alias here's where i have the clips that i want to convert all right this is a whole bunch of uh various things that i shot okay so i'm going to grab a couple of these here i don't know exactly what all of this is all right and i'm going to drag this into the content brand folder alright when i do that now back over in media encoder i'm going to turn on this auto and code watch folders and what you are now seeing is it is going through and encoding that content and by the way if you look in the previews can you see it's adding the file name it's adding time code and it is also applying the lut that we wanted in the background using that preset so we can be doing other things right so it's showing you all the clips that we added there here they are and the status of the export here all right so easy so super cool and it's just doing it and it's doing exactly what we want and now it's done all done so now when i go back over to my desktop in the content brand folder now you'll see here's all of the source footage so they they end up in folders for some reason based on time code when they were encoded but that's fine and then you have the output folder with all of our new media and there it is file name time code that actually really looks good with that lut so this is shot in my front yard right here familiar uh turntable scene that we saw over the last few days all right this one was in feet and frames all right some san francisco shots here oh those look really good with that lut i'm gonna have to reuse that one maybe i'll resubmit that content for adobe stock okay so watch folders friends how awesome was that how easy how cool and again how somewhat hidden is that if you don't even go into media encoder manually maybe you would see that watch folder thing maybe you wouldn't maybe you'd stumble on it maybe you wouldn't um it's just awesome and so glad that that's in there all right let's see that rainbow's beautiful yes indeed okay i promised you i was gonna show you one more uh video submission this is from uh from aria kitten and it looks like arya wagner here who's in the chat this was submitted for the premiere pro daily creative challenge so for again cutting to the beat thought i would do a nice little feature on this one so let's go ahead and switch over here real quickly before we end the stream and here it is [Music] so all right everyone that's all the time we have today thank you so much coming up next we've got claudi with the adobe illustrator daily creative challenge so stick around for that have a great weekend morning noon afternoon we're evening wherever you are in the world and we will see you again next week take care everybody bye bye you
