Learn how to create a Animated line or scribble trail right in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 using the write on effect in this tutorial. —Justin Odisho

Add some visual candy to moving objects in your footage with the Write-on effect in Premiere Pro. Tutorial-master, Justin Odisho, shows how to animate simple scribble effects and motion trail-lines that follow the action in your shots.

The first step is identifying shots that will work well with this effect. Look for objects or points that move through the frame. For example, in this tutorial Justin animates a stroke following the feet of a subject doing a cartwheel.

Next, apply the Write-on effect to your clip. Notice the small dot that appears in the middle of the screen. This is the first point of your stroke. Now it just needs some motion. Watch Justin at 1:02 begin to animate the stroke to follow the subject's feet by keyframing the Brush Position.

With all the keyframes set, Justin customizes the look of the stroke at 1:56. The Write-on effect in Premiere Pro lets you change the Color, Size, Hardness, Opacity and Length of the stroke. All of which can be animated as well. Let your creativity run wild!

Create a scribble animation in Premiere Pro from the Bruno Mars music video That’s what I like. Learn how to draw and animate shapes without plugins. Creating such scribble animations or drawings can be done within the Titler of Premiere. With the pen tool, you easily create any shape you like. —

Scribble animations are rising in popularity, especially in music videos. Jordy Vandeput of Cinecom.net shows how to create your own scribbles on top of your footage in Premiere Pro.

Spark Scribble

If you're new to this technique you may be surprised to learn that the scribbles are actually title files made in Premiere Pro's Title Designer. At 1:23 Jordy shows how to create the first scribble title using the Pen tool in the Title Designer. Then he adds the title to his timeline and adjusts the position and scale in the Effect Controls panel. 

With the scribble title in the timeline, it's time to create some animation. At 3:02 Jordy applies the Circle effect to the scribble title. It's critical to change the blend mode to Stencil Alpha so that the Circle effect reveals the scribble. Next, make sure the anchor point of the Circle effect is in the middle of the scribble so that it reveals from from the center. Keyframe the Radius so that the circle reveals the scribble.

Bubble Scribble

Now that you know how to create a scribble animation that looks like a spark, continue watching as Jordy shows how to do a more complicated bubble scribble effect. Starting at 5:03, Jordy draws the bubble, adds the Roughen edges effect and keyframes it's position so that it appears to float up from the ground.
