In today's video, I'm going to show you how to create a rapid photo shuffle effect. So that way you can start using it in your own videos. And today's video is sponsored by Envato Elements. I'll tell you more about them later on.

 For now, let's go ahead and jump on in. So here inside of Alight Motion , I have this folder full of all the photos I want to use. I'm going to open this up by double clicking and I have it set to the icon because that way you can easily see all of the photos. And the reason why I like this is that I can go ahead and move some photos around to rearrange it in the order that I want. And now we need to change the duration of the photo so that way it doesn't default to like 3 seconds each. Select all of them by pressing command or control. A control click and then go down to speed in duration. And instead of 3 seconds since this timeline is 24 frames per second, I'm going to have each photo be a court order of 24 frames per second, which is zero eight press okay. And now if we drag all of these clips into our timeline, 

so it goes really fast here. Now, it may not be fast enough. You can certainly change it to zero four to make it even faster. But I like zero eight. And the next thing you need to do is just go through quickly on each photo and make sure it's at the right scale. So you'll select the photo, go up to effect controls, scale it down, and make sure that the image is fully in view. So now when we play it back, it's rapidly going through the photos, but we need to make it more dynamic. 

This is where we're going to go into effects. But first, my name is Kelsey and welcome back to Premier Golf. This video is helping you out so far. Sure. To give it a thumbs up as well as subscribe. And if you're looking for some fast photo effects where you don't need to actually go in and animate yourself but use templates, you can use my link below to get seven days free of unlimited templates from import two elements. I just search for fast photo shuffle underneath video templates and over 3000 templates came up. For example, this fast photo slideshow for after effects is really cool because it has a really rapid zoom out effect similar to what we were doing in this video. But if you need a specific software, you can get on here and you can search for after effects Alight Motion  Apple Motion Final Cut Pro or DaVinci. If we wanted something for Premiere, for example, we can select that and just go through and see these different types of photo effects that they have here.

 Now we've put a link below to my favorite photo slideshow templates from import elements, so you can go check that out as well. And of course, you can find more than just photo slideshow templates. If you go to video templates in general, you can see that you can browse by broadcast packages, elements, infographics, logos, things they have titles and lower thirds. There's also tons of royalty free background music and sound effects as well, which is super useful, especially when you're editing videos where you just need to go in and find a sound effect to test out. There's unlimited downloads with elements so you can test out as much as you want. And after your seven days free, if you would like to subscribe to elements, you can use my link below to get 70% off your first month. All right, thanks so much to Elements for sponsoring today's video. And let's jump back into the video to go to the effects panel and search for transform. And this is underneath the distort folder double click on Transform. So it's applied to the first photo. So using the transform effect here, I'm going to animate the scale so it starts bigger and gets smaller. So let's start the scale at 150. 

             MATERIALS HERE

Let's type in 150 here next to scale. And then what we need to do is adjust the anchor point so we can click on this vertical anchor point and move it down. So that way it's better in frame and then we can click on toggle animation. And then at the very end of this photo, we can then bring it back down to 100 and you'll notice there's a little black line at the bottom. We just need to adjust the anchor point slightly down so that disappears and control. Click on the last keyframe and choose is end. So that way it's a bit more smooth of an animation. So what we can do now is copy this clip command C and then lasso and select all of the other clips and right click or control click and select paste attributes. 

And this time we're just going to paste the transform effects. 

So the transform effect has now been pasted on all the other photos, and you're going to see that a few of the photos we need to make adjustments on because the transform effect isn't going to fit all the photos because they're all different sizes and image resolutions. Do you see here on this photo we need to make adjustments, so let's select it, go up to effect controls here and we can adjust the anchor point. So it's a little bit lower. Somebody's going to go through quickly and fix the anchor

There are a few different ways that. You can add. Audio fades to your music and sound effects and Alight Motion . The first way. Is using the built in default transitions. The second. Way is. Using the PEN tool and the third. Way is using it using. using auto ducking. The third way is to use.

 Auto ducking using the essential sound panel. Let's first start with the default. Transitions using the built in audio transitions is the. Easiest way to do a fade. Out here. In my timeline, I have the sequence of hot air balloons from Turkey and I have this nice music track from Epidemic Sound, and I want it to. Fade out. At the end. With the video fade out. So what I can do is I can just go to the. Outpoint of the music track and I can control click and select. 

Apply default. Transition. If I zoom in to the timeline, you can. See added a. Constant power transition. Now, if I want to make this longer, because right now it's a little bit short, I can actually roll. This out. To make it longer. Now, when. We play it back, it'll gradually fade out and so if. You tend to always make the duration of your transition longer and you want it to default to be in longer so that you don't have to extend it out each time, you can actually go to Alight Motion  Preferences Timeline. 

And here from audio transition, default duration, you can change this duration. So if you always want it to be 3 seconds instead of one second, you can hit. OK, so now if I delete constant power in play default transitions, it'll. Default always to three. Seconds. There are three different crossfade that you can use. The constant gain, the constant power and the exponential effect. Constant power. Is the default because. It's generally the smoothest and it just. Gradually fades. Out. Constant gain. Sometimes the fade can feel a. Little bit abrupt. That's why a lot of. People don't end up using this one. But exponential fade is actually great. 

                     XML LINK HERE

I use this one a lot. If you want to change exponential. Fade to the default. You can control. Click on it and set. Selected as default. Transition. And now it has. That blue. Outline around it as the. Default. Another exponential fade. Is the. Default. Let me show you the difference. Let's play the constant power now. Let's delete. That and apply default and let me show you how that sounds see how it ends a little. Bit quicker.

 Than the constant. Power. So I tend to leave exponential fade as my default. And welcome. Back. My name is Kelsey. And if this video is helping you out so far. Be sure to. Give it a thumbs up. As well as subscribe. And this month, I'm also running a live sound editing and mixing workshop. If you want to register, there's a link just down below. And also a huge. Thanks to make sound for sponsoring today's. Video. All of. The music and sound effects in this video is from Epidemic Sound, and it's completely. Royalty free and YouTube. Friendly, meaning you won't get any copyright. Strikes. 

And the best part is it's unlimited. So you can download as much as you want to try out and play around until your. Edit is good. For example, with this opening sequence, I downloaded. A bunch of car drive bys and. Worked sound effects to. Add to the edit to bring it to life. So for example. For this demo edit. With the hot air balloons. And I added this here in the timeline. So when the. Car drives by wash. Another wash and another wash and then the car driving off. So epidemic sound. If you go there, you can search, premiere, go and. You'll find my playlist. Of great background trucks for video but they also have lots of other playlists that you can browse if you'd like to try. Epidemic sound to get unlimited sound effects and music. You can use my link. Below to get 30 days. Free when you sign up for a personal or a commercial plan. All right, so now let's go into the second method of doing an audio feed using the PEN tool. To use the PEN tool to create fake IDs. First, you want to go to the rent tool and make. Sure that show audio. Keyframes is turned on.

 So that way on your audio. Track, if. I expand this out, you will see a white line and that is the volume which we can manipulate. So to add a fade. Using the PEN tool, we can just. Press P. On our keyboard to bring up the pen tool and then click at the point where you want the fade to start. And then we can click at the end and just bring it down. Now, this is a linear fade. So if I play this back, this. Is what it sounds like if you want it to be more of a curve, press command, if you're on a Mac or Control, if you're on a PC and click on this dot and then we can move this blue handle to kind of have it not fade. Out. Quite as much in the beginning and then exponentially fade at the end. So let's. Just see how this. Sounds. So it's pretty cool. The pencil. 

Gives you a lot of flexibility and. You can make as many points as you want if you want to. For example, duck the audio down when there's dialog. Which brings. Us to the next one, which is. Audio. Docking

Hi Guy's 

hi my name Rc Edits and in this tutorial i'm going to teach you some tips about exporting frames, and even being able to arrange your own youtube thumbnails all in premiere now typically i would suggest that you just do this in Alight Motion or some sort of design program if you don't have Alight Motion, but if you are working kind of in a quick moment in premiere there are little things that you can do that you can just make it in premiere as well just as well so i have a little book club playlist on my channel which is not the traditional type of thing

I do but when i upload the videos sometimes straight from my phone i want to get a good frame i don't want to get a frame where i'm looking stupid so what i thought to do was simply take the video in premiere find the book cover online so i have a couple different options, here and i can kind of arrange them in in premiere as their own graphic layers i can move them to where i need just like this or even scale them up and make them big enough to fill in the whole side.

 if i want and if you want an easy way to just move stuff around just highlight the selection tool make sure you're in the program window and highlight that position parameter in the effects control, panel and you can just move it around kind of very similar to Alight Motion, you can scale it exactly how you like and i can put it there in the corner and then i can kind of just scrub through find a good frame maybe where i'm looking thoughtful, or not stupid looking i can even add text if i wanted like with the type tool i can write out whatever i want and move those around and even in the essential graphics panel adding backgrounds and strokes for these.

 Just a simple way to build text and titles if you did want again something that you might not need to go to Alight Motion or if you don't have Alight Motion, another tool for you something like this i do always like to remember that the timestamp right now is in the corner on youtube so maybe not to put too important information there in that corner and you also have all these different video effects, that you can generate so if i wanted to generate a gradient or a ramp i can do that as well on perhaps like a new black video so new black video add that on a layer in between maybe add a ramp and in this way i can add different colored.  

Alight Motion or if you want to just check out my tutorials i've made for making thumbnail tips and basics in Alight Motion, i would recommend you do that because 90 of the time i'm making them in Alight Motion but hopefully you enjoyed this little idea and got some tips from it whether that just be the export frame button, or you picked up some other tips as well if you did enjoy this video check out my channel for more subscribe to stay tuned for all my new videos thank you so much for watching and i'll see you in the next one.

Hello video creators! Welcome to Rc edits. 

In today's tutorial I'm going to show you how to make the following... ...Smooth Grid Zoom transition. To make this transition, we'll first create a four-grid video wall... ...then zoom out on one of the clips and zoom in to the next one. We're going to do this all inside Alight Motion. But you should also be able to do this in older versions... ...like CC2017 or maybe even CS6. For some parts of the transition, I've also made a preset.

 You can download these presets for free. More on that, later on in the video. This tutorial video consist of two parts. In the first part you will learn how to build the transition. And, in the second part, you will learn how to import and use the presets. You can find the timestamps for both parts in the video description. Before we move over to Premiere... ...I want to tell you why you need a subscription on ... ...the sponsor of this video. Envato Elements is a great source for all your creative projects. They offer millions of high-quality items. Like stock video and images. Music and Sound Effects. But also many transition templates and presets. 

If you want to try them out, then use the link in the video description... ...to claim a discount on your first month. The links can be found in the video description. Okay, let's now head over to Premiere and start some editing. So, first I will show you how the transition and the presets are made. This way you know what to adjust if you want to customize them. Here, on the timeline, I've already got two clips that we're going to use for the demo. And, besides that, I've also got two images that we're going to use for the footage wall, or grid. Now, to start off, we're going to put the second clip on the second track of the timeline... ...partially above the first one. In my experience, around 3 seconds of overlap works best for this transition. But, of course, you can use any duration that you prefer. 

              MATERIALS LINK HERE

Now, we can add both stills to the timeline, right on top of the other two clips. Next I'm going to switch over to the Razor Tool by hitting the C key, or click this icon here. And then, we're going to cut the track at this point. And, we'll also cut the bottom track at this point. Then we can switch back to the Selection Tool, by hitting the V key, or click this icon here. Then select the parts that we just cut off and remove them by hitting the "Delete" key. Now we can also move this cut off part back to the first track, just to keep it all organized. Now here, we've got the four parts that we're going to use for the footage grid. But, before we can do that, we first need to do some Scaling. And that's because the images are a lot bigger then the size or resolution of the sequence.

 So I will select one of the images and then head over to the Effects Control Panel... ...and then scale it down until it looks better inside the frame. I also want to resize the second image, so I'm going to disable the top track for now. And then I can select the second image on the timeline... ...and then also scale it down inside the Effects Control Panel. And in case you also need to adjust the scaling for the second track... ...you could always disable the third track, and so on. In the next step we're going to "Nest" the four layers. And we're going to do this because all the layers have different resolutions. To do this, right click on one of the layers and then select Nest. You can then accept the default name and click OK. And we're going to repeat this same step for the other 3 layers. This Nesting part is important because if we don't do this... ...all the next steps for this tutorial will fail. And now to make this one complete, we'll also Nest all the nested sequences together.

                    XML LINK HERE

 So, I'm going to select them all, then right click and select Nest. And then accept the default name and click OK. Next we can double click on this nested sequence to open up the other four layers. In the next step we're going to apply the Transform Effect to all the nested sequence layers. In the Effects Panel, we're going to search for transform... ...you'll find this one under Video Effects, Distort. We can now drag this effect over to the timeline and then apply to all the 4 separate layers. And now that all the layers have the Transform effect applied... ...we're going to adjust them one by one inside the Effects Control Panel. We're going to set the Scaling value to 50% for all the 4 layers. And, for this example, we want this image to be in the left top corner... ...because the transition will be from the top right to the bottom left. 

So, I'll set the position values to 960:540. And this, by the way, is a 4K 16:9 aspect ratio sequence. If you're using a full HD resolution, then you need other position values. Let's continue on with the next layer. This is the second image, and we want this one to be in the right bottom corner. As you've just seen, we need to change this one to 2880:1620. And then also set Scaling to 50%. Next, we've got the second clip in the video transition. As I said, we're going to move from the top right to the bottom left. So, this one needs to be in the bottom left. First I'll set Scaling to 50 and then change to position value to 960:1620. And now we've only got the first clip left over to be changed. First I'm going to set Scaling to 50 and then change the position values to 2880:540. And that looks perfect. All the layers in their right position. Now, we can close this nested sequence and then go back to the main sequence. As you can see we've now got the 4 clips ready for the zoom out and in animation. And, we'll also do this with the Transform effect. So, I will apply this effect to the nested sequence. And then make sure you've got the nested sequence selected... ...head over to the Effects Control Panel... ...and enable keyframes for Scaling and Position. First, I'll create a couple of keyframes for Scaling. We'll need 2 keyframes with value 200% at the beginning and the end of the transition. And we'll also need 2 more keyframes with value 100%... ...and these 2 will be in the middle of the transition. And together, these are the 4 keyframes that we'll need for Scaling.

 Next, we're going to create a couple of keyframes for position. The first one will be in the right top corner, so I'll use Position 0:2160. And then I'll move this keyframe to the beginning of the transition. And next I'll need 2 keyframes with value 1920:1080 for the middle. Also, make sure that the Position keyframe are aligned with the keyframes for Scaling. We need one more keyframe with value 1920:1080... ...and also align this with the Scaling keyframe. For the final keyframe I'm going to move a couple of frames forward... ...and this one will be the Position keyframe for the left bottom corner. And the value for this one is 3840:0. And that keyframe needs to be moved to the end of the transition. 

Next, we'll make the animation a bit more smoother. We're going to select and right click on the last keyframes and then select "Ease In". And then do the same for the first keyframes, but then select "Ease Out". And now we finished the top right to bottom left zoom transition. And I've got some good news for you. I've made a couple of presets in 8 different directions. And I'm going to start by telling you where to download them. If you follow the link in the video description... ...you will get to a page that looks something like this. As I mentioned in the beginning of this video, it is free. But if you do want to make a donation, then please donate your like to this video... ...or leave a comment below, that really helps a lot. Anyway, to continue, you need to click on buy now. In the next screen you need to enter your email address, select your country... ...accept the terms and conditions and then click continue. After that, you should receive a download link in your mailbox in a couple of minutes. After downloading, be sure to unzip the files before you move over to Premiere. Inside Premiere, you need to go to the Effects Panel and then go to the presets section. Right click on it, and then select Import Presets. Then browse through the folder where you've got the extracted preset file. Select it, and then click OPEN. 

For this demo we're going to use the bottom left to top right transition. Now that we know which transition direction we're going to use... ...we can apply the position presets to the layers. And you can do this by simply dragging the presets over to the timeline. And now everything is in the right place to make the transition... ...from the bottom left to the top right. And to do this, we need to select all the nested layers... ...then right click and then select Nest. You can accept the default name and then click OK. And, after that, the final step is adding the right direction preset to the nested sequence. And that's it! These are the steps that you need to follow to use my presets. And that also concludes this video grid zoom transition. I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial... ...and if you did you might also want to check out one of these 2 videos. Anyway, as always, thanks a lot for watching and I hope you have a wonderful day.

 today's video i'm going to show you how to create a really cool slideshow animation effect between two photos plus add some sound effects let's get into it so here in my timeline i have these archival photos of bananas that i got from the wikimedia commons and by the way if you're a documentary filmmaker or a journalist and you need access to some really cool archival source photos wikimedia comments has a ton of public domain photos that you can use for free in your videos so for this particular effect 

i'm going to add a slight blur and just a very subtle zoom effect between these photos and this effect was inspired by johnny harris's documentaries on his youtube channel and also his recent video on the history of bananas in central america highly recommend it that's why i chose these banana archival photos so the first step is to select the second photo here we're going to start with just adding an animation to the very beginning of the second photo so we're going to go up to effects and search for gaussian blur and drag and drop this or you can double click if you have the photo selected double click to apply it and now over in effect controls you can see we have the gaussian blur now we want the photo to start out blurry 

so we're going to increase the blurriness here to 40 and then we want to keyframe so we're going to select the stopwatch the toggle animation to create this first little keyframe here now we want this to be a fairly quick transition it's a very subtle effect so we're going to move around six frames forward so you can play around with different timings but i'll just use my arrow keys to go one two three four five six and i'm going to reduce this to zero so now between these two keyframes we have this very short little blur effect

 so now we need to add a subtle scale and animation but we're not going to animate the scale and i'll tell you why in just a second instead you're going to go over to effects and search for transform and this is underneath distort and we're going to double click to apply this to the same photo and here we have transform and here we're going to add some animation to the scale so if you want it to start more zoomed in we can increase this let's say to 125 we need to press the toggle animation and now we can move six frames forward and let's bring this down to 110 and then we can move like two frames forward just to have it zoom out a little bit more let's do 108. and then to make it more smooth we can lasso and select these keyframes and control click and select ease in or you can right click and this one we can ease out

 so now when we play it back it looks really cool just a very subtle zoom out with a blur just like that it's very simple but it's effective and when we add sound effects later in the video it's really going to come to life now we can copy and paste these effects that we added so we can press command or control to select both of the effects press command c or control c to copy them then we can go to the next photo that we want to apply this effect to let's say the third one here and we can go up to effect controls move the playhead to the beginning make sure you have this window selected and then command v to paste it and now it's applied to this photo and remember i said i would explain this the reason why we applied the keyframe animation to the scale of the transform effect and not at the regular motion controls is that way if we ever want to make any changes to the scale or the position it won't screw up the keyframes that we had so we can go up here and if we want to zoom out a little bit here

 let's see down to like 32 it's not gonna mess up the animation that we did down here and we can always make some adjustments and you can repeat the same process to every photo so now we have this really cool slideshow effect and it's really subtle to do and the next thing we need to do is add some sound effects and by the way my name is kelsey and welcome back to gal if this video is helping you out so far be sure to give it a big thumbs up and subscribe so that way you see when my videos and my tips become available on youtube and this video is sponsored by epidemic sound epidemic sound is my go-to source for sound effects and music and it's unlimited you can download as much as you want and it's social media friendly youtube friendly so you won't have any copyright strikes for using any of the sounds and you can use my link below to get 30 days free so that means you can get 30 days free of unlimited music and sound effects to download and try out in your videos if you're looking for some really cool background music some like lo-fi indie tracks that go well with voice i've put together a playlist if you just go to epidemic and you search premiere gal you'll find my premiere gal editing essentials playlist and it has some great tracks to help you get started so use my link below to get 30 days free and now i'm going to show you how to use some other sound effects to spice up this slideshow effect so between the two slides here 

i want to have a projector slide so if you go to epidemic sound you can see that there's music and then there's sound effects of course you can browse by their featured sound effects as well as by category down here but you can also just go to search and from sound effects we can search for projector and it will bring up a bunch of different sounds that we can play and try out so we can try projector screen one projector screen two it's not really what i need let's try this that's a nice slide sound effect and also if you want some ambience behind the slide sound effect for example if a machine is just playing some slides this slide projector 8 is just a nice background noise that you can add to your video so we can go ahead and download these and once they're downloaded you can import them into premiere pro's product panel you can see i've already done that so then we can just drag and drop these effects into the timeline so slideshow projector 14 is the slideshow effect so i can zoom in here and just place this at the cut point i can press option to duplicate that and just repeat that great and then we can take the slideshow projector 8 drag and drop it down there press c and cut at the end and delete that excess play around with the level and let's see how this sounds and look at that just two sound effects and already it's feeling more like a projector screen like a real life one and you can add some music from epidemic if you want to bring it to life so if you're looking for a quick way to do the slideshow effect on multiple different resolutions let's say you want to do portrait vertical stories square 4k and 1080p hd and you don't want to build it all from scratch i've put together a photo slideshow creator template that's on sale on my website and it has four other different types of transitions so if you just don't want the zoom blur transition i also added you know swipe left swipe right up and down and it's really easy to use it's just drag and drop in your own videos or photos and you can use it let me just quickly show you how it works once you download and purchase the pack you will see here that you can import your own footage 

                     XML LINK HERE

so i can go in and just take some of my photos here and let's say that you wanted to use the portrait you could go into the slideshows let's say we want the swipe one and see what this looks like if you want to update these to your own photos we can then just go ahead and for example this placeholder you can double click on the first placeholder and drag and drop in your own photos replace this with some dogs here so if you want to add this french bulldog go ahead drag that in go up to effects and scale it into place and then when we go back to the portrait you can see that that photo's been replaced just like that and you'll notice that there's a film crop you can just turn off the visibility if you don't want that and there's a portrait color adjustment layer that you can turn off if you want the original style of the photo and there's some light leaks as well that you'll see that you can turn off as well that i generated and again underneath edit you'll find the same exact sequences for hd 4k portrait square and vertical and there's two different types so there's the classic which is that zoom blur effect and then there's the swipe effect which goes up or down just like that and you can move around so you can take any of these and change it for example you can go down to the swipe transitions and if you want it to swipe left for example you can go down here and this is vertical 

so you can go into vertical and you can take you can open this up and you can copy this transition go back to vertical and you know make sure you're on video layer 2 when you paste this you can literally delete that command v to paste that transition and now after you press enter to render it out very quickly you will see it's a swipe left transition so you can you know modify which direction you want the swipes to go and one more thing i wanted to mention let's say you already have a premiere pro project file open and you want to import the template into the premiere pro project what you can do is just drag and drop the file so here i have the download you will see here the alight Motion pro project file just drag and drop it into the project panel and then it will ask you to import the entire project and you can create folder for the imported items and allow for duplicate media press ok and then you'll see all of the same folders here that you can open up and reuse and you can import this project file as many times as you want if you want to create new sequences with new media for example and the sound effects are included so the media that's included in this template is in the public domain 

so all of these archival photos of bananas are included in the template so that way you know which placeholders are where and you can just replace those images with your own photos so definitely go check that this slideshow pack and anytime that there's an update you will get that update after you purchase it and you can use it in any type of video so yeah that's it for today's video i really hope that this slideshow effect helps you out it's going to be great for documentary films for weddings for just sharing personal stories too thanks again to epidemic sound for sponsoring today's video don't forget to use my link below to get 30 days free of unlimited music and sound effects thanks so much for watching and as always keep creating better video with gal see you next time bye

We're here now in Alight Motion  on a Mac. Now, the process is gonna be pretty much exactly the same if you're on Windows as well. So this is what you'll see when you first open up the program. You have a list of all your recent projects in the middle here. So, if you wanna continue working on a project, this is where it will be. Or if you wanna make a new project like we're gonna do here, you wanna come up the top left to new project. So, what we're seeing now is essentially this import tab. The three primary tabs or areas in Adobe Premier now. Import, edit and export. And it's really the three processes or the three main steps that you're going do when you're making a video. So, the first thing 

we're gonna do though, is we're gonna give our project a name. So, I'm gonna go Justin edit. We can choose where we want our project to be saved. We can come over here to our import settings and we get to choose whether our media or in any of our files are gonna stay on our computer where they currently are, or if we're gonna copy our media to the same location that we've created our project in. I'm gonna leave this one unchecked. We'll leave our media where it is. We can also specify here to create a new bin or a new folder for any of the footage that we wanna import straightaway here. And we can also choose if we wanna create a new video sequence yet or not. And a video sequence is essentially your edit or your timeline. Now, I can go ahead and turn that one off as well for now, because I wanna show you how to set everything up correctly so that you know that you're using the right settings for your footage and for the videos that you're making. So, we could go through here and we could find our video footage. For me, I've got some saved on the desktop, on the video files. I could come through here and select the footage that I wanna import. But to me, I'd rather do it the more traditional way with Adobe Premier. So, we're just gonna go ahead down the bottom here and hit create.

So, we're just essentially creating an empty project. So, you can see now that we've done that, we're actually now over on this edit tab. If any time we wanna go back to the import one, we can click that up the top here, edit and export, which we'll get to a little later. Now, quick overview of the interface up here is where we'll be able to view our source video clips and play them and preview them before we're actually using them in our project. We've also allow effect controls and volume and everything. All of that happens up here in this top left corner. Over here on the right, this is our program or playback window. This is where we can preview everything that we are editing. Down the bottom here is your main editing tool. This is the editing timeline. We've got our audio bars over the side here, or the visual representation of how loud or quiet our music and sound effects are. 

We've got our editing tool panel in the middle here with a lot of our core editing tools and features. This is where we'll access those. And then down the bottom left hand corner here, this is by default, this is your project window where we can see all the media and assets that we've imported. We've also got access to a media library here and even all of your effects and transitions. They're all down in this area. So, we're gonna leave this for now back on a project. So, this is where we'll be importing our footage. It's down in this area here we can right click and we can choose import, or we can come up the top to file import and we can navigate through and find the video files, music, all the assets that we wanna use in our video. So, mine's on the desktop under video files. I'm just gonna hit import on this to bring in those three folders. And you can see it's actually kept the file and folder structure here as well, so that everything is organized as it was on the computer. The other option you've got is to open up a file browser like in Windows Explorer or in Finder, and you can drag and drop your files into your project that way as well. So now that we have our files in, the next step is to create our editing timeline or our sequence as Premier calls it

So, what I like to do here to make sure we're getting everything set up correctly is I wanna go and find my primary video footage. And I wanna click and drag that into this area. It even says here on the screen. Drop media here to create a sequence. So when we let that go, it's going to create our timeline, our sequence, but it's also going to use the exact format, frame rate, and settings that were used for our primary footage, so that we know that it is an exact match. So, we don't have to manually go in and configure everything. It's going to apply the settings from that main file. So, you wanna go ahead now and drop your primary footage into your timeline here. We can then come back over here. You can see we've got our timeline here, our sequence. We can call this Edit V1 version one. And maybe we'll move it out of this footage folder here and drop it down the bottom so that it's out there on its own.  cut our clip. K for cut. Makes perfect sense at that time. So, then all we need to do is select this clip. We can press Delete on the keyboard and it's going to remove it. Now, once again, this does leave the gap here in the timeline. So if we delete that, so we've still got that cut, still split into two clips. We can actually select this clip on the left that we wanna remove and we can press Shift + Delete on Windows or Shift + Function + Delete on Mac, and it's actually gonna remove the clip and it's going to close up the gap automatically. So, it's a ripple delete. 

Now on Mac, you can also use Option + Delete. So, you're pressing one less key and it's gonna do the same thing. Now, if we zoom back out, we go across to the end of our video here. Zoom back in a little bit. You can see that I actually stopped speaking here. So, let's assume the video finishes here and we wanna remove everything on the end. We could just come across here again, grab the end of our video and let it go where we want our video to finish. Or another really fast way to remove all of this with one keyboard button press is just to press W on the keyboard which is a ripple edit to the right. So, it's essentially going to automatically, when we press it, make a cut in our timeline, it's then going to select everything back to our previous edit or to the end of our clip in this case. And it's going to select it and remove it and close up the gap. So, if I press W now, you can see that all of that has happened with one keyboard button press. So, that's to the right, but this also works to the left as well. So, let's say we got a cut in our timeline here. Control + K to make a cut. And we want to remove just this first piece here and start this . So, we can play through or scrub through our can just come over to the type tool. We then come up to the top here and we can draw out a text box and we can literally just start typing. And we can see that that's generated a title down in our timeline, this little pink thing here. Now, if we double click on that pink title, and this is where we can open it up and get far more control over the look and feel of this title. So if I select the text here, then I can change the font. Let's go Oswald. This is our primal video font. Let's go semibold. We can also add a background behind it. We can adjust the opacity on that box. So, let's make it like a light blue, like a primal video, kind of blue. Something like that. Now, if we wanna change the position and maybe move it down a little bit, where you can come over here to our transform tools. So, we can bring this down a little bit here now, and we can even save this once we're happy with it as a style. So, we can come over here to styles. We can choose create a style. 

Let's call it PV for primal video. Go okay. Now, next time we wanna create a title, we can just select, we can type in our text and we can select that text and pick our style. And it's now using the same settings as what we saved down the bottom here. Let me come up the top here, where we got that second layer of text. I'm just gonna clear that to delete it. And we've now got some text down the bottom that will appear at this point in the video, at the start, and it will disappear at the end. So if we zoom in on this now, then these also behave just like every other clip so we can shorten them, we can extend it, we can pick it up, we can move it around. So, you wanna go through now and add in any titles or text into your video. Now, you also noticed that when I double clicked on this to open it up, it actually changed up our interface here. We've now got this new essential graphics panel that's appeared here on the right. We can actually at any time go to Window, Workspaces, and we can just go reset to save layout and that's gonna change everything back to our normal layout. So, you wanna go through now and add in any titles or text into your video. From there, we're gonna add in any transitions or effects into our edit. So, if we come over here to effects. Then down here we've got video effects and we've also got video transitions. So, if you open up video transitions, let's just go to dissolve. Now, there's a lot in here to choose from. And a lot of them can make your video look pretty cheap or pretty amateurish. So, what I suggest is that you stick in to things like the dip to black, dip to white or cross dissolve, or even a film dissolve. They're a much more popular, much more widely used in broadcast transitions without going overboard. So, let's say that we wanna fade in our title at the start here. Let's come back to the start of our project and pressing plus to zoom in. We can grab this cross dissolve transition, and we can drop it on the start of our graphic here. And you can see that it goes green, and we now have this cross dissolve on here. So, as we play through this now, you can see that for the length of that transition on here, our clip is fading on. Now, we can shorten that, to speed it up, or we can lengthen it to slow it down. But that's how easy it is to add some of these effects and transitions onto your timelines. So, maybe we'll have one at the end as well. So, our title can fade back out and we'll make it a little bit quicker as well. So we've now got a title that fades in, stays on the screen, and then fades back out at the end. Now, you can also add these transitions between your video clips as well. So, say if we grab this dip to black and let's drag it to the join between the two clips here on our timeline, then our video would play through, would fade out or dip to black and then come back in. 

So, if you want to fade between one scene and another, then that's normally something you would do with a transition. Now, in terms of a transition in a video like this, where essentially it's the same shot before and after the transition, I wouldn't normally do this. So, I'm gonna click on that and I'm gonna press delete to remove it. Instead, what I would do with our YouTube content is just zoom in on one of the clips so that it'll look like it was essentially a separate camera angle or a more zoomed in shot to break it up for the viewer. So to do that, I would just select one of the clips. Come up here to affect controls, come down here to scale, and I would increase this number. Now, you don't wanna go too much depending on how you've shot this and your setup here. You could actually be lowering the quality of your video slightly. So, don't go overboard with this. And you can see now if we look at the difference in the shot. That's the original, and then when it hits this point, it zooms in for this next part of the video breaking it up for the viewer. Now, in order to really sell this effect, you wanna make sure that if you've got someone's face on screen, you wanna try and keep their eyes in a very similar position. So, I'm just gonna move this across now to try and line up my eyes. So it's not perfect, but it's much closer now that that effect is gonna be more subtle for your viewers watching. Now, when you're going through in adding effects, if you do wanna speed up or slow down a clip or play a clip backwards, you can just , these are just the same as every other type of clip. We can click on it, pick it up, we can move it around. So, let's make it start at the start of our video. We can go across to the end of our video, make sure that it's going to finish at the same time as our edit. So, we trim the end off. And if you needed to make any cuts or remove any sections or even repeat sections of your audio track, then again, you can use it using this same tools I showed you for editing at the start. Sot back and I'm gonna see what that sounds like. And then we can make adjustments up and down from there if it's too loud or too quiet. Now, one other thing I like to do when I am adjusting my volume levels is to zoom in on this section of the timeline as well. Now, we can do it down here with these little sliders here, going up and down on the side. We can make these video layers bigger or smaller so we could stretch this up. We can then slide this down and then we can access more detail on what it is we're looking at. 

Now, you can also see that now that we've zoomed in, we also have this little line across the bottom here. Now, this is also our volume level. So, if I click on this and drag it up, we can see that the volume has increased back to, in this case 0.1 decibels. And we can drop that back down to where we had it at minus 33, just by lifting this line up and down if I undo that. But what we can also do is key frame or manually adjust our volume levels throughout the entire track, because sometimes you'll want it louder in one point and then quiet in another. We can do all of that with key frames. So, let's say that we wanted our audio here starting at the minus 33. And then for a section up here, we want it much louder. We want it back to full volume. We can click on this little create key frame button. We can then come across along a little bit more and we can add a new key frame. And then from here, we can grab this line again and move it up to the volume that we want. And our volume now is at that point for the remainder of the video. So, then we work out where we want it to come back down to a quieter volume. 

We can again add a transition point or a key frame it's called where we want that transition to start and where we want it to end. And then we can make the adjustments in there back to lower our volume back down. And these are things that you can come back in and you can adjust afterwards. You can pick them up, you can move them around all to really get that granular control over your sound. Once we're done with our volume levels, the next thing we're gonna do is to color grade or color correct your video footage. So again, I like to do this on the first clip first, because you'll probably find like in this case, it's the same camera, same light, so we can apply the same color grade or color effect that we're gonna apply to the bulk of our footage and then make any minor tweaks or adjustments to individual clips as we need to. So, we're gonna select down first clip. We're gonna come up here to Window and we're going to turn on what's called Lumetri color. Now, there is a ton of settings in here all to help you really dial in and bring out the look and feel for the video that you're after. So, we are by no means gonna cover off everything in here. But by default under this creative tab, so if you're not seeing it, you can click on creative. This is the default panel that shows up. In here, you've got some looks and think of these as if they're like Instagram filters, where you got different presets or different looks that you can go through and apply to your videos. Now, obviously we can go through, we can customize these up with a bunch of tools in here as well. But the idea here is if you find something that matches close to what you're after, it might make sense to start with one of these looks first and then make minor adjustments instead of starting with your raw footage, and trying to work towards one of these looks. But because we're not gonna go overboard with color correcting here, I'm gonna go back to the top here and select none. So, we don't have any of these filters or looks applied. 

And what I'm gonna choose here is the basic correction panel. And the first adjustment I'm going to make is to the exposure or the brightness of the shot. So, I'm gonna come down here, I'm gonna grab this slider. If we wanna make it brighter, we drag it to the right. We wanna make it darker, we drag it to the left. So, you wanna make sure that the brightness is where you want it for your shot first. And again, I want you to remember that this is art. This is a creative thing. There is no right or wrong. This is gonna help with the feeling that your video is creating based on how it looks. So, I usually start off first with the exposure and then the contrast. Again, if we slide this one way, we're going to remove contrast. We're gonna increase contrast if we go the other way. So, I've darkened up some of those blacks. The next one I adjust is the white balance. Now, we could just grab this little eye dropper here and select something white in our scene, like this shelf here and that's gonna get it pretty close, or we can manually use these sliders here for temperature and add more blue or cool down our shot a little bit, or likewise back the other way add more warmth by adding more orange, and the same with the tint. We can add more green or remove green by adding more pink using the next slider. Now, if you wanna see a before and after we can come up here where we've got basic correction. This little check box here, we can turn that off and on. So, this is the before. This is the after.

 So, we've really just brightened it up and added a bit more color. And the last slider that is pretty helpful as well is the saturation one here. If we wanna boost the colors or amplify them, we can just move this a little bit. You don't wanna go too much or you'll look totally sunburnt. But likewise, back the other way you can remove color too. So, it might add a little bit more color here. Something like that. And again, if this is something that we wanna apply to the rest of our clips, we can come over here to our effect controls and you'll see that we've got the Lumetri color tab in here. Again, we can copy the settings that we've applied there. We can select the rest of our footage here and we can paste it. Edit, paste. And that's gonna apply those same color grades or same effects to the remaining clips. So, you wanna go through now, color grade all of your footage including any of your B-roll clips as well. And then, it is time to export your video. So, I wanna come over here then to the export tab. And then as with everything in Premier, you got a ton of options in here. Now, there are presets for things like YouTube and Vimeo and Twitter. You can see here down the left. And if you're going to use these, you can automatically upload your video to YouTube as well. As you can sign into your YouTube channel, enter your title, description, all of that, all from Premier. So once your video has finished exporting, it's also going to upload to YouTube for you. Now, this actually does work really well, but personally, what I do instead is I go for a media file. So, I'm just exporting an MP4 or a regular video file and saving that to my computer. And I'm manually uploading it once I'm happy with it.

 So, I wanna preview it and check it's all good before it goes off to YouTube. So for that, we wanna go to media file. We can choose a file name here. We can choose our location where we're gonna save our file. Now, typically the settings here by default are usually pretty good because they're based on your project settings which were based on your primary footage when we created our timeline back at the start. So we can see here just the default settings are matching 1920x1080, 25 frames per second. That's our video source. The output that it's suggesting is 1920x1080, 25 frames per second, so it's matched that. And it's also got a suggested quality or a target bit rate here as well. But what I like about this in Premier is it also tells you the file size that it's going to create for you too. So, if you need to create a video with a specific file size, or you need to try and keep it small, then this is gonna give you an estimated file size here before you have to wait for the thing to export. Now, if you ask someone who needs to customize everything up, obviously you've got all the settings in here to be able to really dial everything in.

But again, for most people, you'll probably find that default settings here are going to be pretty close to what you're after. Then all you need to do is hit export and your file is going to save out. Once it's done, you wanna play it back and preview it ideally on a mobile device as well. That's where a lot of people are gonna be consuming your content. You wanna make sure that you're happy with how it looks and sounds and everything there. If you've got any changes, come back into Premier, make them and obviously export again. Once you're happy with it, that's when you can go ahead and share your video out. So, that's a complete walkthrough using Adobe Premier. Now, if you wanna print out and download the exact step by step process that I just took you through in this video that will actually apply to any editing app or program to help you edit faster and more efficiently, then grab your free copy using the link on screen now, and I'll see you in the next video.

Hi Guy's with Candy Style transitions, they're a really effective way to make your video feel a lot more cohesive and professional and if you're watching this video I'm pretty sure you've been exposed to a lot of transition packs, and tutorials on how to get those awesome totally cool transitions but today we're gonna be showing you how to create for super simple transitions right inside of Alight Motion.

These are so simple that maybe you'll start to incorporate them into your regular workflow and we're going to avoid transitions, that have gotten a lot of love maybe too much love from the internet so no zoom blurs hopefully you haven't seen all of these before so let's dive right into it with number, one the card whip this one you might have seen in some of our other tutorials in the past your at motion array,

    it's just like treating your footage like a set of stacked cards and when you want to move on to the next one so once you've got your footage down, on the timeline place your first clip on the second layer and your second clip on the first layer like a descending staircase next overlap them, slightly and on your top clip drop on the transform effect from your effects panel.

  once it's here find where you want the transition to happen and keyframe, your position at the start of the transition now move to where you want the transition to finish and keyframe, the position to have your footage completely off screen you'll probably only need a few frames to make this look right make sure that at all times between these two keyframes there's a piece of footage overlapping underneath, this top clip then click this drop down and activate the graph for your motion and keyframes.

                    Meterials Download

So now we can set a position keyframe, where we want these clips to start separating and then make a second keyframe and set it to be just off-screen, then by using these back and forward icons for our keyframe we can bring the playhead back to exactly the same location to make matching but opposite keyframes, for our bottom clip so now we have a linear separation but I want to make it a little bit more dynamic bring up the positions.

 Alight Motion but like I mentioned, if you want to take your transitions to the next level we have tons of transitions for you to check out here at motion, or Raycom we also have a ton of Alight Motion plug-in transitions that you can download at no additional cost to an existing paid motion or a membership and finally if more learning is your cup of tea we've also got loads of other tutorials for Alight Motion, and After Effects feel free to check those out too but that's it for me thank you so much for watching and I can't wait to see you in the next video you.
