Adobe Premiere Pro CC 5 Video Editing Tricks

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 5 Video Editing Tricks

Hi everyone, I'm Anil Rana In this Adobe Premiere Pro CC Topics I'll share five tips for editing videos that can add to your finished video. I have some random clips on my timeline right now that I'm going to use to demonstrate these five tips. First, when you're editing text, let's say I use the text tool and type something on it. 

We can adjust the font according to our own needs. Here I choose to use a very cool font, Futura, select the highlight in the control effect panel. To display more clearly, I will enlarge the font a lot. You can also find the basic graphics in the window. This is A very powerful tool that we can use to center and resize as needed. Here we typed NYC Now the problem is that when you put the text on a video like this it might miss the point. The video in the background is very prominent and clear and the text is also very prominent and clear

At this point, our eyes do not know where to focus. So a nice little trick that I use a lot myself is that you can lower the opacity a bit. First, turn off the target keyframes because I don't want to increase the keyframes so we just need to lower the opacity, say 70% which makes the background a little darker like adding a thin black layer to make the text stand out more. Also, you can find the Gaussian Blur feature in the Effects panel, which adds a bit of a soft-focus frosted glass effect to the background. I just had to click and drag it over the video to increase the blur a little bit.

I would choose to repeat the pixel edges so there will be no black shadows Also you can try the glass effect by adjusting the blending mode of the text right now we have it set to normal but if we set it to overlay you can get a Similar glass texture seen in the video. You can use this feature on things like text, icons, images, and thumbnails. Let's take a look at the pictures on this timeline. You want to cut into the picture in some way, for example, you want to add some slideshow effects. What you can do here is, of course, you can set this image to be a fixed frame

Maybe add some text or subtitles but I like to fill some elements into the frame a lot of the time instead of leaving it blank so you can't tell if it's a freeze-frame and adding some dynamic keyframes can make it fresher. If we turn on scale keyframes it will put a diamond on the playback here I drag it to the start and add a keyframe that may be down to 5 so let's zoom out a bit and drag this keyframe to The end of the fragment. Now if I start playing

When I cut away from the image it would have a natural back and forth movement so it would be very natural in the video. You can also right-click on these keyframes. Here we don't choose a linear movement from A to B, but instead, ease in at certain points, or ease out, so that when you ease into the final position, it will feel more smooth and natural. This is a very simple and practical common sense trick. The third is audio ducking like in this video I'm talking and I don't want to hear what was captured in the original clip

City noise and car horns. What I can do is make this a little bigger so it's easier to adjust the audio track and the lines here help us adjust the movie's default volume is now set to 0 by default but if I hold down the Command key you can see it's turned into an arrow And a plus sign so I can click and add a keyframe, or a point so I can add another point a little down so I have two separate lines. I can pull the second line down to create an effect that tapers off from normal volume

Any volume is fine, here I adjusted it to -15dB. At the same time, you can add keyframe audio ducking to make the volume gradually decrease from one point. If you start talking, the volume gradually decreases, and then you need to mix the two audio tracks. This technique is very useful in documentaries and other different kinds of videos. Same here, in your effects control panel you can skip that line and just add normal keyframes but if you have several audio tracks at hand, being able to visually see the tracks can make editing easier and less complex Forgot you can fade in audio

Or add keyframes to your audio to go from quiet to loud. Speaking of sound, the fourth tip has to do with sound, and that is sound design. This is going to be a new topic that we could cover in a whole video but just wanted to give you some inspiration about this feature so that you can not only is dependent on the sound captured by the camera. For example, we shot a scene where it was a little rainy. In this movie, it just started to rain, but it wasn't much, but I could enhance the rain effect by finding the rain effect and adding it to the soundtrack. If you're making a YouTube video YouTube has a library of free sound effects audio you can Google it for.

Here are two audios that I've downloaded, just drag and drop them into my project library. The sound is called Drizzle. I want the sound to last as long as I want, but it sounds like a lot of rain. You can even find the sound of walking on cobblestones which is something else entirely. Sound design is a very powerful feature in its own right. Don't forget the symmetrical part below this timeline. The audio included can be not just the natural sounds and music in the movie, but also special sound effects that you arrange according to the content of the movie. This way you can get very good video work.

Finally, let's learn a very simple and easy-to-understand technique. If you've ever edited a clear blue sky background, it's a great way to focus on the objects in the frame and make the color palette stand out no matter which tone you use. The color method is to select the Lumetri color panel and find Vignette Vignetting is a function that adds shadows to corners. Some cameras can capture natural shadows with a lens hood or depending on the lens used. This is just an aesthetic choice. Some people may not like it, but I like it and appreciate a clean blue sky. There are some effects of vignetting shadows.

But you can adjust the strength by adjusting the strength. Here we choose to put it in the middle so that it doesn't look very natural and looks fake. But if you weaken the effect a little bit, it will slightly accentuate the edges and corners. When you edit a video like this The first is when the blue sky is in the middle, this technique can draw people's attention to an object. Second, any creative color palette can make it have a more natural color gradient. It may be difficult to understand. For example, I am in this video. The effect of selecting the LUT above is different from the previous one.

Any LUT you choose will make your colors look better. I'll explain the effect further. Now if I zoom in on this corner, I can see a gradient from dark to light so there is a nice contrast. If I remove the dark Corner This is a very solid color and you lose the transition from black to white, and the middle area is gray. Any kind of tone can allow you to make the color more layered. It's a very nuanced matter of personal aesthetic taste but I've edited so many videos over the years and vignetting is the best effect I've ever used on a blue sky

This will draw people's attention to the object in the movie better if you like the vignetting effect.
