Make Video Better: How to Create Animated Mattes in Adobe Premiere Pro

Learn how to create animated mattes or "style mattes" in Premiere Pro with this Make Better Video tutorial with VFX artist, Sean Mullen of Rampant Design. The great thing about Sean's tutorials is the real-world examples of the material he's teaching. This animated mattes tutorial is no different; the first 60 seconds is chock full of examples of real-world value. Animated mattes are basically moving shapes that reveal the footage beneath. Sean begins the tutorial in Premiere Pro by showing the limitations of simply cropping the footage. Instead, at 3:06 Sean says the better workflow is creating the matte on a separate track with a color matte. Once you've created your matte using the Crop effect (or a mask), apply the Track Matte to effect to the footage, not the matte, as shown at 4:14. But there's a trick, at 5:22 Sean shows why it's important to nest your footage before adding the Track Matte effect. This allows you to move your footage in the nested sequence independently of your matte. It's long tutorial! But Sean keeps your attention with tons of helpful tips and some humor sprinkled throughout.

Justin Odisho: Smooth Spin Blur Rotation Transition in Premiere Pro

Learn how to spin from one shot to the next in this Premiere Pro tutorial by Justin Odisho. It's one of Justin's longer tutorials, but he does an excellent job keeping it from spinning out of control. First, Justin adds an adjustment layer over the edit point between two clips. He recommends the adjustment be 10 frames on either side of the edit point. Then he duplicates the adjustment layer to the track above so there's two. At 2:09 Justin applies the Replicate and Mirror effects to the first adjustment layer to simulate extra resolution, so when the image spins you're not seeing the edges of the frame. Then, at 4:11 Justin uses the Transform effect on the second adjustment layer to scale and rotate the image. The Transform effect is ideal in this situation because it has Motion Blur, which is necessary to blur the pixelation caused by the scale. It's a rather complicated effect, but rest assured, once you're done you can easily copy and paste your adjustment layers over other edit points in your timeline. Even better, save the sequence with the adjustment layers as a Premiere Pro project "template" and import the sequence into your other projects whenever you want it.

Justin Odisho: Walk By Transition Effect (Custom Wipe & Reveal with Masking) in Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Learn how to create a wipe transition using a moving object in your footage in this Premiere Pro tutorial from Justin Odisho. As Justin explains at 0:22, this transition requires some specific circumstances. An object must cover your shot from top to bottom as it enters, crosses and leaves the frame. If any of these requirements are not met, the transition will most likely appear awkward and confusing. Next, at 1:10 is the very detailed process of animating a mask around your object so that as it crosses the frame it reveals the incoming shot. All of this can be done natively in Premiere Pro. However, you may want to do this type of work, also known as rotoscoping, in After Effects.

Cinecom.net Modern Parallax Animation in Adobe Premiere Pro

Learn how to add some depth to your footage with this really cool parallax tutorial from Cinecom.net. First, parallax is, "The effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions, e.g., through the viewfinder and the lens of a camera." (Google) This effect can be created in Premiere Pro by duplicating a clip above itself in the timeline, adding a mask, and varying the Motion parameters between the two clips. Beginning at 1:24, Jordy begins drawing his mask using the Pen tool found under the duplicated clip's Opacity settings in the Effect Controls panel. Then at 2:26 he starts tweaking the Motion settings of the masked clip, adding keyframe animation to create the illusion of parallax. Also, at 4:56 Jordy shows how to add a title that interacts with the masked clip. This further helps sell the parallax effect.
