10 Things Premiere Pro Video Editors Should Know About Photoshop

[@kottosdetenebre]

Javier, thank you so much for all the work you do. I am "self-taught" in Premiere Pro (with a heaping thanks to you, of course. Hence the quotation marks around "self-taught".) Now, I got my first official video editing gig (outside of friends and family) and I wanted to show my appreciation to you for being my teacher. I am truly grateful. Now, I'm branching out into Photoshop and After Effects. Anyway, thank you. Keep up the stunning work.

[@JavierMercedes]

Wow! thank you so much for the Super Kyle! So glad I could help you along in your editing endeavors and again, thank you for the support!

[@DaveSy]

Seriously the best teaching style around! Fast-paced, but explained and illustrated so clearly that you're never skipping back to be like, "Ummm what?".

[@JavierMercedes]

What’s your favorite Photoshop feature when building assets for a video?

[@kuraiamvs4331]

Man, you teach with fun and yeah you r underrated like many others. I use the skills that u teach in my amv(s) which i upload on my channel, whatever your videos are so cool but still you have so less views and likes

[@rajamomo]

I love how it can move in all adobe program

[@Hr1gunnar]

I’m a total noob in PS. Love the capabilities though.

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

In addition to many of the things that you covered here's something I like to utilize sometimes. When I'm making a thumbnail for example and the logo doesn't stand out very well, sometimes I'll play with blend modes. With the logo layer selected click on the down arrow for the blend mode. When the menu opens you don't have to select each mode one at a time you can just drag your mouse down over each one and watch the appearance of your logo change as you go. Sometimes this will really make the logo stand out on the thumbnail. The appearance will also change if you drag the logo to a different area of the thumbnail for example bottom left corner to the bottom right corner if that area of the thumbnail is different than the original position. There are too many variations to explain, just play with it and see what happens.

[@echostarling84]

I've been working with Adobe for years and I'm pretty picky about how I learn, but your videos hit the right energy for me and have been a blast to watch! Keep it up!

[@derespektan3980]

8:37 The best way to change the color of something in photoshop is Image >> Adjustments >> Hue Saturation, check the Colorize box. Nothins will ever beat such flexibility.

[@tanyathompson5255]

Just bought your preset pack and I love that you can use them together, such as from bottom and from left...creates a very smooth diagonal in! Super easy to buy, install and use!!

[@JavierMercedes]

thanks Tanya! glad you like them!

[@nicholasagneta]

That last tip is an absolute game changer!

[@lieutenantdan7212]

so helpful Javier! Your tutorials are like the "Mercedes" of tutorials. Seriously great job!!

[@Nazferot2]

I didn’t know about the PSD files! nice 👍

[@reemobrooklyn3557]

Love your channel. The time you take to give cleanly detailed information with timestamps needs to be respected. You will blow up.

[@JavierMercedes]

Appreciate the kind words Reemo

[@me.in.berlin]

Thank you. The video was worth my time and my like. I learned some cool and useful tricks! Your personality was a great touch.

[@blacjazzz]

THIS is why KZbin is great. I’m sitting here watching this and learning and is vastly entertaining as well. I’m going to share this with a bunch of my friends. You’ve got MY subscription for real! Excellent job!

[@phucmapvlog]

The amount of things I learned in this...thanks bro

[@BestBBQShow]

This was not what I expected and so much more! Thank you! I'm putting all of this to work immediately! GET THE PRESET PACK!!!! I use it a lot

[@alvoelkle]

I have just recently found you after working with Adobe Cc for a while. I wanted to congratulate you on a job well done. I enjoy the videos. Learn something every time I watch one.

[@AlexKojfman]

HOLY! that last part about importing a PSD file and exporting a sequence.... thank you. I'm going to have to rewatch that a few times but that can really save me some time once I master that.

[@vincentoppong90]

So glad your mama made you! Your delivery is the best 👍

[@SwiftTechniques]

Every video teaches me something new

[@sapphoto]

Love your tutorials. They’re useful for beginners and for people like me who have some experience, but just need that example of someone using the skill. Great little tidbits of Photoshop goodness. Also you move quickly but not too fast. Other tutorials would have taken nearly twice as long.

[@JavierMercedes]

Brian Sapp Hey Thanks Brian, hope all is well in Indiana. Good to see you again!

[@deancraver4224]

Started watching your videos & I learn something new every time.

[@FR8MES]

Im a simple man. I stayed to the end, I liked, I learned and I subscribed. Thank you!

[@TheMegakiller2000]

I don't want to believe that you only have 39.5k subs, with that quality of video, quality of content, great way of speaking and delivering your message to the world! Keep up the great work! Your videos are upping my starting videography carreer!

[@poerava]

I’ll be watching this video about 38 times. I think I need to watch your vids at -2 speed. You’re so clever brother.

[@lackofacontent]

if you hold down alt and hold down right click while on any brush you can change its size really quickly, without having to use open brackets, love the vid, a lot of amazing tips!

[@richardkim4855]

Awesome video, Javier!! I clearly need to brush up on my Photoshop skills!! Thanks!!

[@JavierMercedes]

Thank you Richard!

good luck with your work. very cool video. i learned blind things from this video!

[@jocklog1]

He gives so many nice ideas. Not just skills training but creative inspiration too!!

[@BisSerjetaTV]

Hi Javier - Firstly, love your channel and have learned so much from it, especially how to edit faster. When I import a PNG with transparent background from PS into Premier, I always get a white stroke around the image, no matter what I do in Select and Mask. What's going on? Interestingly, when I add a stroke like you did in the video, the line doesn't appear around the stroke, or anywhere at all.

[@JonathanBelle]

Thank you

[@MrTerryRay1]

I'm glad I watched this video. Thanks for sharing with us the great way to use Photoshop with Premiere Pro. These are great to know. I like the way you use duplicates. to make your point.

[@JavierMercedes]

Ha, glad you enjoyed it Terry.

[@stevengarza7634]

Great video Javier. It was very informative and i'll try them out. Thanks for sharing.

[@JavierMercedes]

Appreciate the comment Steven!

[@DakotaCash12345]

I have had Adobe Master CS6 from my high school from 2011. I don't know if its truly worth upgrading at this point, as I do this just for grins. But I use the stamp tool to create an outline then merge it into Premiere Pro with a green mask like you did to show a video through the stamp (or logo). Still, I'm just dipping my feet into this. Thank you dude for your videos; they are fantastic!

[@JavierMercedes]

That’s pretty cool! I’ll have to try that ☝️. It’s great to see how others accomplish a certain effect, thanks for watching Dakota!

[@MarkBermanVideos]

thank you for the presets!

[@rakajawaa5500]

Thank you! #10 was the awesomest vovovovovo

[@MaxoticsTV]

Great video as always!!! On #5, there are two fundamental ways to pull out objects. Color or Shape. You demonstrated the basics of shape selection. But if you have say hair against a solid color background than Color would be better. Like you say, a complex subject! One of the things that tripped me up for a while is create a "new fill or adjustment layer". It would apply the effect to all the layers below it. "Create a clipping mask" with it would make sure only the layer below is affected. In general, I still can't wrap my head fully around how layers and masks work. I mean, I can use PS fine, but I'm always a bit not sure what I'm doing ;) I'd love for you to do a layers and masks video one day. See if you can really burn it into my brain, how they work ;)

[@JavierMercedes]

Yes to all of this, after I uploaded I said to myself I should have included the clipping mask part about adjustment layer, just isn’t the same as video editing where you just drag an effect on a layer and it works. Great additions!

[@nielventura]

[@Chewyshoot]

I always look forward to your videos Javier! I love the bevel and emboss effects as much of what I do involves editing text with a metallic sort of style to it. Thanks for the tutorial! See you next time!

[@JavierMercedes]

Yup, I’m always surprised at how many different applications Photoshop can be used for. Thanks for your continued support Casey!

[@WhatWereYouWatching]

Select and mask at 6:30, that's a new one for me. I usually just duplicate the selection and hide the background and wind up with the jankiest of janky edges.

[@JavierMercedes]

Haha I’ll have to use Janky in my next tut to describe something, what you saw here was a very quick and dirty version of how to mask, there are some pretty robust tools to do fine tuning like hair follicles and such. Glad it helped and thanks for watching/commenting on my vids, means a lot!

[@ImInTheMaking]

Thank you!! T_T I've been learning a lot from you

You posted this one day after my birthday two years ago. It took me that long to learn all that you showed; I must do better, lol. Thanks, great tutorial.

[@CrazyYashi]

Awesome 🔥

[@LilSassy]

Do you do the majority of your graphics/text in PS and then import them into Premiere or was that just for the tutorial?

[@JavierMercedes]

In PS

[@awesomethony]

Hey mate. May I ask a question. On #9 it says How to import PSD files from PS TO Premiere. If the PSD file is big in size like the resolutions, dimensions, etc, and more vectors inside of it. Is it still recommended to use PSD? Does it affects the Premiere Project to load the files, system lag and heavy too? Thanks! :)

[@nicok2131]

thank you for your efficie3nt and helpful videos Javier! I have a question - can you tell me- if you bring a photo shop document or preset with text (like a lower 3rd preset) and drop it into the premiere timeline, can you edit the text on the layer in Premiere? I would think yes, but I'M Still; very new to this and my brain gets confused. Thanks!

[@JavierMercedes]

unfortunately no, you would need to edit it in PS and save and that change will show up in PR
