Hey everybody, I'm Nathaniel Dodson from tutvid.com, welcome into this
Adobe Premiere Pro tutorial, where today, we're going to take a look at five different
visual effects that you can create in Premiere Pro. I think they'll be useful, I think
you'll really like them. And this tutorial is brought to us by our good friends at
Squarespace.com, we've got to sponsor a couple videos here. Squarespace.com,
if you're in the market for a new website, go over to squarespace.com/tutvid and
use the coupon code 'tutvid' for a nice, little discount. Go ahead, show them a little
support. They're supporting the channel, helping us do what we do here, and
bring these free videos day after day after day. Let's jump into Premiere Pro right
now, and check this thing out!
Well, alrighty, ladies and gents, here we are in Adobe Premiere Pro. I am going to
just drag my first clip out, it's going to be this young man with puzzled face in the
library shot here. The goal is going to be to create what's called a dolly zoom,
which normally you want to do it in camera more than anything, but we can kind
of fake it here in post, and that's the effect I'm going to show you. Normally,
you would sort of zoom the lens in as the camera dollies away from something,
so here we're dollying into this guy. What I think I'm going to do is reverse the
footage, so that we're actually pulling away from him. So I'm going to right click,
and choose speed/duration, and I'm going to say, look, go ahead and reverse that,
and now we're going to start zoomed in on him, and we just zip away from him
just kind of like that. And I'll probably pick this up right about here, where it's actually
beginning to move away from him. So, right about there, it looks like we're really
picking up the movement. So I'm just going to trim the edge of my clip in, I'll just
drag the clip back over to begin, and just right off the bat, we're immediately moving
away from him. So the idea would now be to zoom the video, to sort of fake a lens
zoom into him. But the most convincing dolly zooms pick a focal point, and they kind
of like stick with his face. So we sort of want his face to remain right about in that
area of the frame. So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to come over here to my effects
panel, and I'm going to search for an effect called transform. There it is. Video Effects&gt;
Distort&gt;Transform, I'm going to drag and drop it here on this clip, you can see in my
effect controls, there it is. The transform effect. And what we're going to do, is right
here at the very beginning of our clip, I'm going to drop a keyframe on the scale
parameter within my transform effect by hitting that little stopwatch. And then what
I'll do, is I'll move my playhead in, maybe about four seconds or so, eh, let's just go
four seconds, just for the sake of - just because I picked it. We'll go four seconds, and
I'm going to change the scale here from 100, we'll boost it up to like 155. Let's see if
155 looks good, and you can see here, if I move this back away, as the lens moves
away, it almost looks like the lens is remaining in the same place. We might need to
zoom a little bit further than 155 to help make this look a little bit more convincing,
let's go like 165, maybe? Let's see what that looks like. You can just see, how it almost
looks like the background is warping around him, right? It's a very kind of bizarre effect,
but it's going to be even more convincing if we animate the position, as well. Cause see
how his head, as we get to the end of the zooming animation, his head is way up here
by the top of the frame? We don't want that. So let's come back over here to the very
beginning frame, and we're going to tick on toggling animation for the position
parameter here. And then I'm going to move out to where my final keyframe is here,
I'm going to hit this next keyframe button to make sure we're aligned perfectly,
and then I'm just going to drag my y-positioning, and I'm going to drag his head down,
probably somewhere right around there, right? Something like that. And you can see,
there his head kind of stays in the same place, and before we - you know, once the
animation finishes here, the dolly kind of takes off away from him. And that's fine.
Cause we're not animating along with the whole thing, but you can see, we get this
really crazy effect all around the edges of him, where it looks like the whole background
around him, is moving. And again, you'll find different types of footage this works with
better, and other types it doesn't work with quite as well. I find it works really well
where you have some camera movement pushing in, or pulling out away from a subject.
So if you don't have a subject, you're just like zooming into the sky or something like
that, it's not going to look like you're doing anything. But where you have a subject in
play, in focus, maybe in the foreground, or midground, it's going to work pretty well.
Of course, though, best to get it in the camera, but sometimes we don't have that
option. Especially if you're working with stock footage. So kind of cool to be able to
do this. And of course, you can select your keyframes and throw, you know, auto
bezzier on them, or something like that. Just to have a little bit of easing as well,
and have a little bit of fun with this effect. I'm going to interrupt this broadcast
for just a moment here, and break out the paper. The good stuff. I'd like to just
thank our sponsors over at squarespace.com, once again. They chose to sponsor
this video, and Squarespace, well, they provide the most beautiful and easy-to-use
websites that you can have set up and running in no time flat. If you want a portfolio,

and most importantly, you can do it easily with Squarespace. So, the question is,
why don't we have a Squarespace website yet? I've had my own personal photography
site over there on Squarespace. Had it for a few years, it's pretty awesome. I'm
not looking to change any time soon. It's fast, it's easy, it's such a breeze to update.
And I do web design stuff, and it's still easy for me to update. So, if you don't do
web design stuff, it should be even easier for you to update, if that makes any sense
at all. Go over to the squarespace.com/tutvid for a free trial, no credit card required,

And Squarespace, thank you for helping support this channel. Let's jump back into the
tutorial. Alright, so here I'm going to drag a clip, just sort of an outtake of one of
these tutorials, you can see, look at that! All of the behind the scenes, before you
actually see me on camera. But what we're going to do here, is we're going to do
a little bit of a VHS effect here. And I want the VHS effect to pick up right here where
I can see I begin talking. I'm going to pull the audio wave form down a little bit,
so like right here as I begin talking, it would kick to a VHS effect. So, how are we
going to do this? Well, first and foremost, we're going to cut the video where we
want the VHS effect to be. And we're also going to do a little bit of a VHS audio
effect. So, I'm going to cut both audio and video tracks, I'll grab my razor tool here.
You could use the add edit option, as well, so if I move over here to end, right there,
up here under Sequence, you have add edit, I've mapped a hotkey, the letter Z.
It just makes it so fast and easy, hit the letter Z. Boom, you get a cut right across it
just like that. So this area in here is going to go to a bit of a VHS effect. How are
we going to do that? Well, the first thing we'll do, is we're going to search for an
effect called luma tree color. So, we're going to go luma tree, there it is.
Video Effects&gt;Color Correction&gt;Lume Tree Color, I'm going to drag and drop it
on just the video clip here in the middle. And I'm going to move down a little bit
we're going to open up the basic correction tab, and I'm going to change my
contrast to 25. So we're going to bump the contrast a little bit. I'm going to skip
over highlights, I'm going to make my shadows a little darker. So I'll go like -35
in the shadow department. I'm going to bump whites up by about 10, and I'm
going to bump shadows by about 10, as well. And then I'm going to scroll down
a little bit. I want to come down here to saturation, and I want to desaturate it
quite a bit. I'll take saturation down to about 45. Alright, I can collapse luma tree
color, and I'm going to look for another effect here. This one is called emboss,
and there it is. Stylize&gt;Emboss, we're actually going to use a color emboss, as well.
But we're going to begin with just a straight emboss. Let's drag that in beneath
luma tree color here, whoa! look at that! We're going to go with the direction,
we're going to leave that at 45 degrees. We'll choose a relief of 3, so it's going to
make it a little bit more extreme. The contrast, I'm going to bump it about three
times what it is. I'll go 300, and then blending with the original, here's where we're
going to kind of mix it back in. We'll go about 80%. And you can see, we're getting
this almost faded and like disjointed edge effect. It's giving us that almost, just
low quality, not out of focus, but that VHS edge effect. And we're also going to
drag in a color emboss, because if you got an emboss, hey, let's take it to the next
step and get a color emboss as well. The color emboss, we're going to stick with the
45 degree direction. I'm going to go with a relief of 5, I'm going to stick with a
contrast of 100. And this also, we will blend about 80% with the original, because
it's a little too extreme there. So there we go, we just pile those two embosses on
to start really building this VHS effect. Next, I'm going to look for an effect called
shadow highlight, there it is. It's an obsolete effect, Video Effect&gt;Obsolete&gt;Shadow
Highlight, I'm going to drag and drop that on my video clip. I'm going to uncheck
auto amounts. I want to make sure that my shadow amount is 50, highlight
amount should remain at zero. And I want to blend this with the original by about
eh, 35%, something right around there. You can really mess around with this
a little bit, see what looks good for you. Maybe I'll bump this one to 50%. That
looks decent. And then, last but not least, let's just throw a little bit of noise on
here. So I'm going to look for the noise effect. There it is, Noise and Grain&gt;Noise,
I can drag and drop that on here. And what I'm going to do, is just set the amount
of noise to about 3%. This really adds up fast, so be careful when you're adding
noise. And I'm going to use color noise, and clip result values. That is all good.
Now, another thing we're going to do is I've got a link for this VHS VCR interference
noise clip. You can use any - just Google "YouTube video download," or something
like that. You'll be able to download clips like this. People upload them and share
them on YouTube, and I'll link to this one specifically in my bio for this video,
or in the description area for the video. And once you have it, you can drag this
in and place it on top of your video. Okay. So I obviously want it over this area,
so I'm going to trim it back. So it's just over my VHS effect area. I'm going to
ALT/OPT click on this extra sound, or audio track. I'm going to delete that, because
I don't want that. And then I'm going to select the VCR interference, right click,
and choose to, first, scale it to my frame size, and then I'm going to set it to the
blend mode of screen. Now screen is going to knock away all the black stuff,
just leave the white stuff, and you can see, we're going to get this kind of crazy
overlay effect, like that. And then, last but not least, we're going to look for
one more effect, this is going to be an audio effect. I am going to look for an
effect called au graphic eq, so there it is under audio effects, au graphic eq,
I'm going to drag it and drop it on the audio right here, and then over in effect
controls, here it is. I'm going to choose to edit this. And I don't really need the
31 band eq, I'm going to with 10 band. And this is a good time for you to kind of
pick up and listen to your audio, and listen to what you're getting. I'll knock this
down to a quarter quality, just so we make sure it's going to play through a little
smoother for us. I can hear that it's just kind of the standard audio. So I'm going
to make some changes. I'm going to drop a little bit of the lower bass, the more
bass-y tones out of here. I'll boost some of the midtones, eh, I kind of like this,
maybe I'll knock that down a little bit. I'll boost some of these middle tones up,
I'm going to drop this down a little bit. I'll boost here, up a little. And then I'll
drop these tones down a little. So I'm just looking to kind of drop out some of the
lows, drop out of some of the highs, boost some of that middle, to give it almost -
well, you'll hear the effect.
(garbled voice)
So, you can see, it's kind of that, that almost old style of audio effect that you would
almost expect when you're watching this kind of video. And because we've
constrained it just to that clip, of course, our VCR effect (garbled voice) will only
happen right there, over that part of our video. So that was a cool effect, but let's
move along to the third effect. And that's this pulse glitching effect, it's a really
neat little effect that we can add to video. And it begins with just dragging out
your video, and then immediately duplicating it, because this is going to take
place on a series of videos here above our initial video. So the first video, this
is going to be sort of the red channel. So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to
search for an effect called channel mixer. And there it is, under Video Effects&gt;
Color Correction&gt;Channel Mixer, drop it onto that sucker. And what we want to do,
is get rid of the green green, and the blue blue, and just make it a red red, and you
can see. That's pretty red red, if I ever saw some redness myself. We're going to
go with the, I believe it's the wave warp. There it is. Video Effects&gt;Distortion&gt;
Wave Warp, we want to drag and drop this sucker into place. We're going to
set the wave height to square, I'm sorry the wave type to square. The wave
height will be 100, the wave width will also be 100, and the direction, instead of
being up and down at 90 degrees. We're going to set it straight across at zero
degrees, just like that. Wave speed, we'll boost it to like 7, give it some bounce.
And everything else will remain normal, as it is. And then, also, we're going to
look for an effect called mosaic. And it's this one right down here, Video Effects&gt;
Stylize&gt;Mosaic, drag and drop that into place as well. We're going to set the
horizontal and vertical blocks both to 100. And here's the key, turn on sharp
colors. You can see it gives this really cool, almost 8-bit looking effect. Really neat.
And then to complete the red layer, we're just going to set this to a blend mode
of lighten. You're going to see, it's going to give us this crazy, red block-y, glitchy
looking stuff, that's going to constantly move and change as we play through
the video. Alright, that's the red channel. Let's set up the green here, I'm going
to duplicate this video track up, and what we need to do here, you can see we
have everything. The only thing we need to change, - well, we need to change
a couple things. We need to get rid of all the stuff in red red, cause we obviously
don't want that. We want to go down to green green, and fill that up. And you're
going to see, it's going to really almost cover up the red red stuff. So we're going
to combat that by changing the wave warp. So let's change the wave height here
to like, just 50. And maybe make the width 200. Something like that.
And we can even change the speed, as well. We'll knock this down to like 5,
and we'll just see, you know, what this looks like. We can play around and
do a little experimentation. No, that actually looks pretty cool. We're getting
a nice amount of red and green artifacting. You can customize this really as
much as you like. We could even change mosaic here, down to like maybe
65x65, and you're going to see that's going to change. I almost think we should
go bigger rather than smaller though, let's 125x125. That's pretty cool.
And then we'll just duplicate the green layer up. Hold down ALT/OPT, drag
that sucker up. And of course, here, we're first going to change the channel
mixer. Get rid of green green. We're going to fill up a blue blue, make that 100.
It's going to look kind of like we're covering up all the stuff we did with green,
but no worries. We already know the solution. Here under wave warp, let's
set wave height - eh, let's make this a little bit smaller. Let's go 25, and we'll
set the width to like - eh, let's set the width to, like, 50, and see what this
looks like. It'll give us lots of really small, blue artifact-y stuff, and maybe I'll
make the waves speed here pretty fast, we'll push this up to like 9.
I'm going to collapse wave warp, open up mosaic, and this one I think we'll
make a little bit smaller. We'll go 75x75, keep sharper colors, and now we have
this really cool-looking, just totally randomized, pulsing glitch effect that's
going to play through your video. It could be something you mix in with the
VHS effect we just covered, but it's a really neat little effect. And it just uses
channel mixer, wave warp, and mosaic. You stack these layers up with a red,
green and blue channel, and there you go. That's really it.
Let's move along to the fourth thing. Which is going to be a sort of double
speed ramp. It's really just a speed ramp, but we speed ramp it twice, just
because, hey if you speed ramp it once, why not speed ramp it twice?
I'm going to take this video of this sort of underground subway train flying
through this tunnel, and we're going to really speed this up. The reason I'm
using this is clip, is because, really, the more stabilized your camera is, the
better your effect is going to look. Like, we could take - we could take this shot
of this drone flying around this sort of butt. But, no pun intended, we would
probably want to take it into After Effects and apply some warp stabilization
to it, and it's still not going to be the greatest. You really, really, really want
really smooth footage, the smoother the better. And this is just a really nice,
smooth shot. So, smooth, in general, is going to be more cinematic, and this
sort of speed ramping is bit of a cinematic thing. So, the first thing I want to do
here is right click on this clip, and I want to choose Show Clip Keyframes, and
choose Time Remapping and choose Speed. This is going to convert my middle
line from that sort of opacity pull up and down, to something that will now judge -
or not judge, but control the speed of the clip. I'm going to zoom in a little bit here,
I'm going to hit my up arrow key to move back to the beginning of this clip,
hold down SHIFT and I'm going to nudge into the clip about 30 frames. So I'm
going to tap the right arrow key 1, 2, that's 10 frames. 3, 4, that's 20 frames.
5, 6, that's 30 frames, right there. I'm going to hold down CMD/CTRL and just
click once to place, you see that sort of keyframe, almost, you could think of it as?
Right there. 30 frames in. We're going to do the same here to the end of the clip,
so the hit the down arrow key, nudge back, holding down SHIFT and the left
arrow key. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, there we go. CMD/CTRL+CLICK to drop that sort of
keyframe there. And then we're going to select this middle area, and you see
how it's telling me 132%? I'm going to push it all the way up to 1000%. Voila.
Now, I need to move back because my clip just got a whole lot smaller. So,
we're going at normal speed and then we just really speed things up, just like
that. But that's not good enough. It's a little bit too sudden. I can grab these
handles, and just sort of fade my speed ramp in, just like that. That's cool.
Let's do it here on this end, as well. Fade that sucker in a little bit. But this,
still, is not good enough for me. What I want to do, is cut the clip right at the
outer edge of these little ramps up to speed that I created. And I'm going to use
that same add edit hotkey, just hit the letter Z, this is not default, you would
have to set your own letter. But you can just come up here and choose sequence,
add edit; or just use the razor tool. Chop the clip there. I'm going to move out
here to the end of the speed ramp, right there. Chop the clip there. And then I'm
going to right click on this clip, and I'm going to choose speed/duration, and I'm
going to speed it up another 1000%. And I'll hit OK - well, actually I'll go time
interpolation, let's go optical flow here, just to get a really nice, smooth speed
ramp. I'm going to drag this clip back, and now what we're going to have is just
sort of a normal clip, super speed, and slows right down. So, obviously, you know,
you might want a little bit longer of a clip. But this would be a really cool speed
ramp effect, if you're zooming in on something that you flew over with your
drone, or something like that, can be a really, really cool, double speed ramped
visual effect, right here in Premiere. And it's really pretty simple.
Alright, I'm going to zoom out. Last, but not least, we're going to talk about some
cinematic camera movement. There's a ton of different ways to do some cinematic
camera movement. I am going to do it here with this, sort of slow moving shot,
it's just this dude jogging. It looks like there's some wayward frames at the
beginning, I'm going to trim them off, just like that. So we got the dude jogging
slowly. The first thing we want to do, is apply that sort of animorphically shot
cinematic bars, right? That two, three, five to one. Two, three, nine to one aspect
ratio. We can do that a whole bunch of different ways. You can create a png file
that you just drag right in. I'm not going to do that. What I'm going to do is create
an adjustment layer. Now I already have one here, but I'm going to create a new
one, just so you can see me do the whole process. What I'm doing here is hit the
new item button, and I'm going to choose adjustment layer. It's going to say, yup,
here's all the stuff with the adjustment layer, great. I drag the adjustment layer out
and place it on top of the video clip, or video clips, which I want to add this sort of
cinematic crop to. Now, what I'll do, I'm going to look for an effect called, well,
you guessed it, crop. Video Effects&gt;Transform&gt;Crop, I'm going to drop that on the
adjustment layer. And now, to get the effect you want for your standard 16x9
footage, you want to crop top and bottom 13%. So, well, let's select top, go 13%.
Bottom, 13%. I don't know how I got 100% there for a moment. Let's bump this
up to 100 to get rid of that glitching out white bar there. There we go. You can see,
we have the nice black bars in place. It's that simple. If you don't want the black
bars, you just shorten your adjustment layer. See that? And the video is all back,
but here we have black bars. So, it's that simple. You can create a preset out of this,
or again, you can just have a png file. The nice thing about using the crop effect,
obviously, is it's just contained here within Premiere. You're not going to accidentally
delete the png from your hard drive. And it's just - it's all generated here within
Premiere when you use the crop effect. So, it's just a nice way to do it. You have
options in terms of animating, and making sure it's a crisp edge and just stuff
like that. So, this is step one, and then after that, the key is going to be, working
directly on your clip. And kind of doing what we did with the dolly zoom. So, it's
just a very smooth, slow, subtle, controlled animation. Whether you want to tilt
the camera up or down, push or pull the camera in or out. I always like to go with
the transform effect. You could really use position and scale, but it's just, I don't
know, on principle, I just try to use the transform effect. And what that principle
is, honestly, I really don't know. It's more of a habit thing. So maybe I'll begin right here,
and I'll say, yeah, let's take the position. And then what I'll do, over the course of
a few frames here, I'll just lift the camera - I'm sorry, tilt the camera upward
a little bit. Kind of like that. So, what'll happen here as this dude begins to run,
all the sudden, the camera is just going to work its way upward, just like so.
Nice and smooth. You can select these, you can right click, temporal interpolation,
we can go with, like, an auto bezzier here. And of course, you can drag this
out, make it as long or short as you like, to slow things down or speed things up.
And just go ahead, and it looks a little stutter-y, but we're viewing it at a quarter
speed here. When you render it out and look at it at nice, full resolution, you'll
just get this nice, just sort of camera tilting backward. Again, it's another visual
effect that's best done in camera. But sometimes you don't know these things
the moment you're shooting them, and it's nice to be able to come into Premiere,
and mess around and create little camera movements. We can get rid of positioning
and, of course, use some scaling as well. We'll go 100%, and we'll just push into
this guy here. Maybe 165%, or so, something like that. And we can just play through,
and we can see, it's going to begin just pushing in on him, as well. It's kind of a trippy
looking effect there, especially with it being all stutter-y. But it's a really neat, little
effect that you can create. And it's just, you know, creating a little bit of cinematic
camera movement artificially, in Adobe Premiere. Well, there you have it. Five
different visual effects. Eh, see they were relatively simple to throw together, and you
can just bookmark this video for future reference, if you think you could use any
one of them, and you need to know a specific one of those effects.
So, if you enjoyed this video, make sure you give me a follow over there on
Instagram, keep up with what's going on over there. If you're into Discord,
and that's more up your alley, discord.me/tutvid, there's also a link down in the
bio for the Discord server, where the conversation, I should say, continues on and
on and on. For this VHS effect, and for, what other effects did we do? I can't even
remember right now. But for the VHS effect, and oh, the cinematic effect, and the
dolly zoom, and everything else that we covered in this tutorial. Guys, that's it!
Get it? Got it? Good!
Nathaniel Dodson, tutvid.com, I'll catch you in the next one.
