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

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

Sean Schools
Tutorials, Effects

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.

Admit it. We all want to see our names up in neon lights. Maybe on the sign of movie premier in Tribeca. They do that for editors, right? Well, at least you can in Premiere Pro with this neon title tutorial by Orange83. This is actually a rather complicated tutorial involving 15 tracks of titles and color mates with blend modes and, yes, a lens flare. But Orange83 makes it easy to follow along, and by the end you'll have your own shiny neon title in all its fluorescent beauty. At 6:06 see how Orange83 creates his flickering effect by cutting some the text layers. Once you've created your own neon title, save it as a "template" for future projects.

Tutorials, Effects

Get yo music videos turnt with these 4 effects from Chrystopher Rhodes of YCImaging. No plugins are required, and they can all be done in any editing program. But, of course, they're demonstrated here in Premiere Pro. Each of Chrystopher's effects begin with duplicating the clip above itself in the timeline. The first effect, "ghosting", begins at 0:33, and is done by lowering the opacity of the duplicated clip and changing it's speed. Second, at 3:13, the "screenshot flash" is ghosting but with a freeze frame. At 4:51 Chrystopher demos another variation of ghosting, this time adding a quick zoom in and out. And finally, at 7:13 the "zoom feather" uses a mask to scale up an area of the frame. If you're a music video editor, this tutorial is a must see.

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.

Adobe: David Lowery Returns to The Sundance Film Festival with A Ghost Story

Adobe: David Lowery Returns to The Sundance Film Festival with A Ghost Story

In this Adobe blog post, filmmaker David Lowery discusses A Ghost Story, which premiered at Sundance 2017. This is David's first film edited entirely in Premiere Pro (see 1:57), and He commends Adobe for giving independents and low-budget filmmakers creative tools that used to be unaccessible. In his video interview (at 1:07) David offers some really great insight into how being an editor and having an editorial mindset helps give him a "head start" in his scripting and directorial decisions. And at 1:30 explains how he and his team used the entire Creative Cloud suite on A Ghost Story, from rough cuts in Premiere Pro to final compositing in After Effects.

I was a Final Cut Pro 7 user, but after Final Cut 10 came out I downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro to try it out. It was really easy to pick up on everything. My first use of it in a practical way was on the set of Pete’s Dragon. It was a snap, just as I had expected. —David Lowery, Adobe Creative Cloud Blog
