horizontal flip you'll find this one under video effects transform as the name already implies this one mirrors the image horizontally as you can see in the program monitor when i apply this one to the top clip the following effect that we're going to add is the track matte key effect you can find this one under
video editing tutorial
video effects keying also add this one to the top clip and after that we're going to add one more effect and that is the beavel alpha effect depending on your version of mirror you might find this elsewhere but here in my version you'll find this under video effects obsolete anyway we'll also apply this one to the top clip in the following steps we're going to add some text with the type tool which
you can find here or hit the t key to enable it then simply click somewhere in the program monitor and start typing for example i'll type iceland because this is a clip from diamond beach in iceland one of my favorite places to visit after typing you can go back to the selection tool which you can enable here and then i'll resize the text and after that go to the essential graphics panel to center the text now we can move over to the timeline and then extend the duration of the text
editing tutorial
layer after that make sure that the layer is still selected and move over to the effect controls panel in the vector motion section i'm going to enable keyframes for scaling by clicking on this stopwatch icon here then move a couple of frames forward and create a first keyframe with value hundreds after that move a couple of frames back and then scale up the text until it's entirely out of the frame then i'll open up the skill graph and right click on the second keyframe and select ease in and
now i've got this blue handle here which i'm going to drag all the way to the left to create this ramp changing the keyframe to ease in and also changing the graph will make the text animate in very smoothly so let's give it a playback to see how it looks so far [Music] in the following steps we'll select the second clip on the timeline which has all the effects applied to it and then move over to the effect controls panel in there go to the track matte key effect and then select the track which will be the matte for this clip in this case a layer 3 the text layer and now have a look at
premiere pro intro
the program monitor and see what happens if i select layer number three and there you have it your ice or glass text we could also make some minor adjustments to the beavel effect to improve this all a little further in this case i would go for an edge thickness of 3 maybe for max and then i would also increase the light intensity to 1. and as you can see here this all adds a nice glassy edge to the text and finally the playback on the timeline can be a little laggy that's because this effect is very heavy and also some of the effects don't have hardware acceleration this
means that it might require rendering before playback as you can see here by this red line to render the effects simply hit the enter key when you've got the timeline selected or go to sequence and then select render effects into out premiere will now render the effects and after that the playback on the timeline should run a lot smoother as i mentioned you can also use this effect on images or logos but in some cases you might need to switch between the alpha and luma option in the
adobe premiere pro
trackmate key effect let me quickly show you what i mean with a few examples the first example is my logo it's a transparent png image file and if i put this on top of all the other layers premiere will just show the image but if i place this image on the third track it will be used as a matte and as you can see this works well because it's a transparent png file the other two images the artlist logo and the adobe logo do not have any transparency so if i add these two images to the third
track you'll see that premiere will only display the outlines of the images and that's because we've got the alpha option selected for the trackmate key effect the alpha option simply said only checks if there's content so it's on or off the luma option checks for brightness of an image so lighter parts will be visible and darker parts will be transparent as you can see here by the other two examples and that's also the reason why you should use white text for your titles if you want to use the luma option and if your image has transparency but also has multiple colors then play around with the options to see which one works best and my friends this also concludes this tutorial i hope you enjoyed it
