Jan 17 RedShark News: Premiere Pro Video Transitions 101: A Step-by-Step Guide [sponsored]

This RedShark News blog post is an introduction to transitions in Premiere Pro for beginners. It's also an introduction to RocketStock's Stanza, a video transition pack for Premiere Pro with over 200 transitions. As best I can tell, Stanza's transitions are not effects, they're clips that you can lay over your footage in combination with the Track Matte Key and other effects in Premiere Pro. Cool stuff!

With Premiere Pro, you don’t need to be a seasoned editor to add seamless video transitions to your project. Whether you’re stitching together vacation videos for the first time or putting the final touches on your YouTube debut, it’s easy to achieve a professional look when moving from shot A to shot B. —RedShark News

Need some resources for editing audio in Premiere Pro? Jourdan Aldredge will hook you up with four helpful YouTube tutorials in this RocketStock blog post.

Jan 15 Cinecom.net: How to Chroma/Green Screen Effectively in Premiere Pro

Sean Schools

Tutorials, Effects

Third party chroma keyers certainly offer more, but the Ultra Key in Premiere Pro is more than sufficient for most green screen shots. Of course, as Jordy Vandeput mentions in the beginning of this Cinecom.net tutorial, the basis of a good key is the quality of your footage. Assuming you have a good shot, Jordy will who you how to get a high quality key in Premiere Pro. At 2:06, Jordy demonstrates the value of garbage matte (a mask that eliminates problem areas in your shot) and at 3:08, he shows how the alpha channel output view can help you clean up your key.

Learn how to pull a clean chroma/green key in Adobe Premiere Pro. See the options of the Ultra Key effect to achieve a professional result. Remember the last film you saw? Or watched the weather forecast? Chances are it was full of green screens. —Cinecom.net

Still recovering from a blown mind. The majority of this The Video Course tutorial is inside After Effects. The host, Kevin Anson, walks through the entire process of designing and animating a lower third that can be reused in Premiere Pro to reveal your text. This is not a Dynamic Link workflow or an AE Template. This lower third is rendered out of After Effects as a standalone asset. Kevin generously provides the project file for free below.

We could all use another self right? In this YouTube tutorial, Casual Savage teaches how to create the clone effect in Premiere Pro.

Jan 9 Olufemii Tutorials: Siiiick Premiere Pro Transition Technique: Deflection

Sean Schools

Tutorials, Effects

Josh Olufemii is the artist behind Olufemii Tutorials. In this video, Josh shares his thoughts on deflection, which is not a specific transition or effect in Premiere Pro. It's a technique. Josh defines deflection as a visual distraction while transitioning from one clip to the next. He lists several forms of deflection, such as speed ramping, overlaying, and popping shapes. Most importantly, Josh says these visual elements must be accompanied by an audio effect for maximum impact. This tutorial has a lot of interesting concepts. Well worth the watch and consideration.
