[@jacobfalk4827]

You make the best tutorials, you make it simple. Everyone else makes it over complicated...

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Jacob Falk Thanks man :)

[@jacobfalk4827]

Of course. I have a question about video editing. Alright so i have this project where I need to add a really cool 3d animation in the very beginning. I went and got a template from ifresh put it in blender edited my text on the animation and changed the output to 1920x1080 and the final animation looks great except for the huge black bars and the words by elliotFX on the final rendered piece. How do I remove this? The animation in blender never shows any black bars or any text on the image, it only shows up after i've spent the time to render it. So far i've unchecked all the meta data options but that's it, I can't think of anything else because this is all I've used blender for and it's my first project so I don't know how to use any tools or how to fix any issues like this. I hope you can help out, thanks again for the great content!

[@SurfacedStudio]

Sounds more like the template you have is watermarked - check their licenses

[@jacobfalk4827]

Yeah that's what it looks like. Can I check their licenses via blender? Or do you mean check their licences through where I downloaded it?

[@jacobfalk4827]

And what are some of the settings in blender I could mess with to get this going away?

[@iamweed42069]

your videos go into very nice detail and are extremely helpful, thank you.

[@SurfacedStudio]

+IM ALL WEED Thank you :)

[@hoomannia7042]

hey man thank you again. As always your tutorials help me out. Keep up the good work

[@SurfacedStudio]

That's great to hear, thank you for the feedback :)

[@ProfPressure]

just when i thought i was good at text i was wrong lol now i have some more knowledge thanks. seems like after effects is the place to get the best transitions, good thing i have all apps. great video and ill look for some more premiere pro vids you have.

[@Nebuheru]

Very nice video! I really like Premiere Pro. I also like the 3D text and FX capabilities in Boris Red. Is Boris Red100% compatible with Premiere Pro as a 3D text creator?

[@louiskoo010185]

Very Helpful. Just love the way you teach ! Thankss :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

Great to hear you found it useful!

[@AficionadosAssemble]

Our Entire team are HUGE Fans of your channel. We are preparing for video shoot where we want to have multiple actors of various shapes,sizes, and of both genders morphing into each other and we wanted to know if you could offer a tutorial to show us in after effects. Keep up the Great Work

[@SurfacedStudio]

+The Aficionados Hi, thank you for the nice comment. Have you seen my advanced morphing tutorial yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIqWaZ6Qe8d6mbs It's difficult with people and if you are looking for 'realistic' (aka Black & White by Jackson) then you'll have to go down the 3D route

[@SuzymoTV]

Easy to implement the way you explained. Thank you it helped a lot. :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

That's great to hear, thanks man :)

[@melissafleur-aime250]

Thank you, this helps a lot! I'm French and you explained so well, I understood almost everything of what you said. Thanks! :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Mélissa Fleur-Aimé Glad to hear, thank you!

[@16zeichensindzuw96]

I basically have 2 questions: First of all in 0:34 how did you make the titles disappear, it looks like they have been erased. And Second in 0:44 how did you create these titles (which fond / did you use a tracking mask for the colour?) and how did you make the "Animate" look like this? Did you use keyframes or is there another easier way of doing that? I hope these aren't too many questions and please answer to all of them :D By the way another awesome video! Love your videos :D

[@SurfacedStudio]

+16ZeichenSindZuW Hi, all the titles you see in this video were created using the exact same techniques I show in this tutorial :) There are no magic tricks (e.g. After Effects), it's all just simple keyframes (e.g. on Opacity for the fade out) and simple effects.

[@16zeichensindzuw96]

+Surfaced Studio Okaay, thanks :D I already have another question! How can I make only one part of a video object disappear (just like the erasing stuff), because if I try to move the opacity mask it moves along with the object, so it doesn't really work how I want it to. Please tell me the secret :D And another little question: Are you german? I just read a comment that asked you the same but I didn't really get if you've been serious :D If you really are, it would make it much easier for me to explain the problem with this kind of erasing stuff :D

[@mythius8361]

Thank you for this. I really appreciate you making these in-depth and thorough tutorials. May I ask for some tips if you don't mind? Recently I've been trying to improve my editing and I have a difficult time with aspect ratios and sequences. I just never seem to get it right even using custom settings. But anyways, thanks for making these and continue what you do best. -Cheers.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you for your awesome feedback! The easiest way to get a sequence to match your aspect ratio / frame rate is to simply drop the footage onto the 'New Item' button :)

[@mythius8361]

Ah, I see. Many thanks.

[@robertbaird1984]

This was extremely helpful, thank you much.

[@SurfacedStudio]

No worries, glad you found it helpful!

[@NatesEscape]

THESE ARE AMAZING! by the way you have an awesome accent! it makes these videos interesting to watch :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

Haha, thanks glad to hear. I'm always concerned my accent might be putting people off since it's blended into this weird German-Australian mix-thing over the years :D

[@hasanmuradov3065]

Hello, you are the best teacher I have ever seen for this program? I just wonder and really want to learn how to make the same or similar or something another intro title as your chanel name on the start of the vıdeo? Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Most of my titles are created using Adobe After Effects - it's a bit more powerful for animation and VFX and motion graphics. Premiere Pro is really more just for compositing. Here's a beginner series if you're new to all of this :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqrZqoWBqdt6jrc

+Surfaced Studio Perfect. Thanks!

[@TroyJakubiec]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question. I am trying to add and English Chinese titles to my video. In the past, there was a button "Enable the Indic radio button" in the Titler Preferences, which allowed me to do so. Now I don't see it. How do I find it? Or is there a workaround?

[@olufemilawal]

This was very helpful! Thank you!!

[@SurfacedStudio]

:D

[@dinnerwithkirill6257]

Tobias, it's a good tutorial that I followed and added several titles to a video. Every time the title is up, my video gets a little lighter in color and darker when the title ends. I have several titles added to the video, thus the video gets lighter darker, lighter darker. Do you have a solution by any chance? Thank you

[@NewpathKaranja]

good work man..kindly continue these way..you really motivate me..why cant you start a group where you can start premiere pro and after effects users.?

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Francis Kuria This KZbin channel (and facebook page) ARE groups where people can lean PP and AE ;)

[@Lil2012angle]

Thanks for the tutorial, what version of premiere pro do you use?

[@SurfacedStudio]

You're welcome. The version of Premiere Pro is blended in at 1:25 - Premiere Pro CC. Given the video was from 2015 I assume it would have been CC 2015 :D

[@boruch_perlowitz]

best tutorials ever!!!!

[@SurfacedStudio]

:) Thank you!

[@antonio_oguimaraes]

This is my favorite tutorial channel :) and probably the best for Premiere/After Effects, can't tell you how much I've learned from your vids during the few years, keep it up broseph!Btw I usually edit titles and texto for vídeos separately in Photoshop but editing in Premiere saves a lotta time. Do you plan doing any tutorials on Adobe Audition?

[@adarkerlight]

+BatatekOficial He has some already (I see his Audition videos suggested to me on the right hand side of the screen right now, in fact)

[@antonio_oguimaraes]

Yeah, silly me. Thanks!

[@SurfacedStudio]

+BatatekOficial Thanks man! I think other's already answered your question, I am currently expanding my range of products I make tutorials for :) Currently only one Audition tutorial, but who knows what the future will bring :D

[@AskArthur]

Thanks so much, this is a really good video! Also, I would like to know how you animate your intro title, the one for surfaced studio. I want to know how to animate text into a video with cool effects, sort of like in your intro title.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you :) There's different pricing options depending on what you get. I'm on the full Creative Cloud subscription (all Adobe products) for around $50/month

[@jackhomer7920]

Hey there your videos are really helpful and amazing I learn so much from them :) !!!!! I was wondering how I would do a effect with a title where I can get the bottom to crumble away ? Thanks

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Jack Homer Hey there glad you're enjoying my tutorials. For something like that you would have to move off into After Effects and apply a Shatter effect to your text :)

[@jackhomer7920]

thank you i will have a try :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

What do you mean? 'Sliding effect'?

[@Exodus000191]

How do you make Titles appear from behind an object in a video. Trying to get a title that would be hidden by a wall but as the camera pans left it appears as it moves past the wall. Great tutorials btw.

[@SurfacedStudio]

You need to mask out the title or mask out the foreground element and place a copy of it on top to obscure the title 'behind' :)

[@99757429]

very helpful, thanks!!

[@SurfacedStudio]

Glad to hear, thank you!

Good tutorial. I cannot see why it would have received a thumbs down, let alone the number I see above.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Some people just have hate in their hearts... haha, but seriously, thank you for the great comment :) Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@DrumSolVanIsle]

Surfaced Studio You have many views on this video, and I suppose that increases the potential for 'KZbin proprietary disapproval'. Clear and articulate communication is, and ever shall be, better than "knee-jerk" reaction. Perhaps that should read 'knee-jerkers'.

Hye i was wondering where to get titles in premiere pro 2020. Love ur tutorials btw

[@SurfacedStudio]

Premiere Pro introduced a new Type tool in CC 2017 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXzXaGWtndmea5I

[@ThisIsGeltown]

When I go to project panel and click new item.. there is no 'Title' option

[@SurfacedStudio]

Because you have version 2017.1 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXzXaGWtndmea5I

[@tewanineelesh]

can you please make videos on maya because i am very much interested in 3d

[@SurfacedStudio]

I haven't used Maya much before, don't think I'd be the best person to make tutorials for it. I've got some tuts for 3dsMax as well as Houdini or lately Blender though :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmbPpnSEg7Coe8U

[@jiggyjay9637]

@surfacestudio or anyone who might be able to help, how did you create that brick-like item on the left, 0:45-0:49? You inserted the number 1 and 2 in the boxes. Thank you for your help.

[@SurfacedStudio]

You can simply apply textures to your text in the title editor - or sheen, gradient, bevels, emboss, etc. There are a LOT of options I didn't go into in depth, just play with the settings in the editor :)

[@InstaAE]

Cool! I am not much of a premier pro user but still nice tutorial

[@SurfacedStudio]

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Sir CheeseKnight ... ;)

[@newother3627]

Thank you so much sir.

[@SurfacedStudio]

No worries!

[@sagidsaleh9896]

Great tutorials but I really want to know how I can make a title go away behind an object. For example a title is up and as a character walks across the screen he walks in front of the title and it disappears after he's passed each letter

[@SurfacedStudio]

You need to cut the person out and overlay him on top of the title. Or you need to cut an animated 'hole' into the title as the person moves so the title appears behind the actor

[@rjani2375]

Can your advanced morphing tutorial be also used to morph one person another? Ex. Agent Smith morphing into other people from the Matrix?

[@SurfacedStudio]

+R Jani In general yes though it won't look quite as 'pro'. The Matrix effects were done by actual professionals using rather sophisticated 3D transforms

[@rjani2375]

Sophisticated......like something morre advanced than 3DS Max?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Hardly any pro quality effects are done with a single tool any more. 3dsMax can be used for some VERY advanced stuff though - if you know how

[@rjani2375]

Oh, I'm currently using Cinema 4D to animate the bullet going past my actor. Agreed, it's not Hollywood quality, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure no normal person can pull this off easily unless they know how.

[@SupeShuvo]

Can you make a christmas video like say you are in a sleigh and your flying in the sky can you make that type of vide turtorial for Christmas pleeease :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

+FXgamer k Hi, while that's a nice idea I don't think I'd find any time to do any Christmas effects (at least not this year). Also, I don't have a sleigh available as a prop either ;)

[@TalhaMansoor]

hey tobias can we get aother bigger advanced tutorial like for example how to create an apocalypse or post apocalypse setting.i know that you have alot of stuff marked before this but still.

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Talha Mansoor I can put it on my request list, but can't guarantee when I'll get around to it. I've been a bit short on time lately so been focusing more on basic techniques - surprisingly my beginner tutorials are also getting much better reception than my advanced ones :)

[@utsabdeepray7907]

how to add sound effects with each and every animated text. from where can I find those effects?? example like a text appears like typing and on background keyboard typing sound is in sync or announcing number x and a big stamping sound is with it.. etc..

[@SurfacedStudio]

BAM! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m17HZZpjhtR7e9k

[@MadMojo]

How do you animate still pictures or add footage shakes for adding drama to your footage?

[@SurfacedStudio]

Using After Effects. BAM! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2iXkpKvj7psqbc

[@websolutions6117]

I want my text to blink like car turn signals but I don't want to take the time to cut the text into ten parts and time them correctly. Is there an effect that does this automatically?

[@SurfacedStudio]

You can use After Effects and use an expression to animate some opacity effect, there is nothing in Premiere Pro to do that. It would take you however less time to cut a layer into 10 parts than it would to read this message :)

[@franklisatravels9651]

can you use picture to scroll from left to right also

[@SurfacedStudio]

Sure you can :) Just add a picture as a layer and animate the position to move across (e.g. don't use the title editor)

[@SebastianLee202]

Are these titles basically a way to add quick motion graphics in Premiere?

[@SurfacedStudio]

+Sebastian Lee If you consider animated titles 'motion graphics' then yes

[@SebastianLee202]

No, I mean like the way you added in those glasses which are basically a basic graphic.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Sure, if you want to consider that 'motion graphics' then why not? Personally for anything motion graphics I'd use AE over PP

[@musicbanghang0012]

Very good
