What effect should I tutorialize in premiere pro next?

[@jamesburtle3681]

Here’s one tip to make this way easier. You can actually double click the display in the program monitor and drag it- it will change the x and y so you don’t have to drag those numbers back and forth. As long as the correct clip is selected in the timeline, it will work! Happy editing.

[@dazneko]

Thanks bro, that makes it a little bit easier to do 👍

hashtag, only a little racist but maybe also kinda funny.

[@jstewart627]

there must be an automatic method to do this based on telling it to follow the balls unique pattern. What is that command?

[@CliffJennings]

Quick and to the point! How every tutorial should be. Great job man!

[@RichardsWorld]

I watched a video where they do this much easier with After Effect, but I don't really want to pay extra for it. I did it the same way you did except instead of using the rulers I made a simple title layer with a X and I put the X exactly in the middle. Then I keyed the frames the way you did, and delete the title later. Unfortunately this is a pretty tedious task.

[@shivanshsinghthakur]

auto reframe effect in premiere pro be like: am I joke to you?

Omg, where have you been, Javier?!?! I’ve been searching for editing videos that make it easy for over a year now. You’re definitely making the most approachable videos for this kind of stuff.

[@JavierMercedes]

Thanks for the continued viewership Jesse!

[@DrDevvi]

its both sad and funny that, davinci resolve, a free program, can you this automatically and very accurately. total work time for this scene would be 30 seconds to a minute on davinci. Why has premier decided to not have automatic processes for this :/

[@streetwiseguitar5113]

waiiiit... how do you get the cursor on PP to click incrementally like that????

Very cool. I don't have a purpose for this at the moment but still I'm learning all kinds of different techniques for the future.

[@TylerKai421]

i have a 1 second clip where in a video game, an enemy in cover throws his pistol out into the player's feild of view, and when it hits the ground it just pathetically does nothing, no bounce no nothing, so i am going to zoom in really close and keep it centered as it goes to hit the ground. thanks so much for the help!

Greetings! I have traveled here from the year 1790. Please show me some of your most exciting things! . Well, um ... okay: We have this flickering electric box, here, and the box contains something called KZbin, which is where people can make a visual record of themselves or something else, for everyone to see. . Wow! That's fascinating! So what kinds of visual records do people make? . Mostly tutorials of how to use KZbin to make a visual record of themselves or something else, for everyone to see.

[@lukedixon149]

I have done this effect several times but in between frames the ball I am filming looks a little glitchy. I’m sure it’s because of the camera I’m using, what camera do you suggest or what features does a camera require to get rid of the glitchy-ness? Thank you !

[@JavierMercedes]

up the shutter speed on your camera. that gets rid of the motion blur.

[@weirdfsh]

I'd suggest just comping to AE and doing a stabilization track, takes 1 - 2 minutes at most, you can even do the manual keyframing Javier is doing but with more ease as Premiere is disgusting when it comes to keyframe manipulation.

[@glysolid8763]

Your video is great but I think that what i've done so far will affect the object center effect. Hi Javier, I'm going to be using this effect with a moving and clapping baby. I also want to change the color of the back of my moving and clapping baby but I don't want to change the color of the baby, I want to keep the baby's color original. Is the object center effect work for a moving baby which I want to move with the motion at an original maintain color? Not sure if I'm saying the above description.

Amazing mate, I've been learning so much from you and even when I already know pretty much how to create a certain effect, I watch your videos 'til the end because I know that you'll show a cool shortcut or a trick that will enhance my knowledge about Premiere Pro.

dont use scale otherwise it's not centered when zoomed out... use just zoom level (or at least that's how it worked with me after working according to tutorial)

Why my footages look jittery in timeline? even after I export, the video is still a little bit jittery/juddery.

[@JavierMercedes]

If you are open to using after effects here are some more options: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIGTfZt-rt-Mg7s

[@SmartVideoBE]

Using a gimbal will ease this process alot by locking the horizon. Also shooting in 4k or higher resolution for better quality after scaling so much. Good job i liked the video!
