Part 2: Tips & Tricks: Using Premiere Default Effects

Perhaps you are simply looking to make a few adjustments to your footage for a different look. Or adding an effect that doesn't require a downloadable template. If that's the case, here are a few tips and tricks to use the Premiere default effects to manipulate your footage. We also have an in-depth tutorial on Premiere Pro effects if you want to jump ahead to more advanced edits.

Sharpen Images

Sharpening your images in Premiere Pro can help point your viewer's eyes in the right direction and bring certain things in the footage out. And while you could just mass sharpen everything in the image, you're footage would look a little odd, especially considering any out-of-focus background.

Roughen Edges

Creating rough edges in your video helps to distort an image giving it a grungier more unfinished look. Creating rough edge video effects using Adobe Premiere Pro is fairly simple. Once you're in the Effects Panel, navigate to the Roughen Edges option and choose your style.

Compound Blur

Find yourself wishing you could add a heavenly glow to outline the faces of those beautiful actors featured in your video? We have good news for you: you can do it using the Premiere Pro effects Compound Blur. This feature is in the Effects Panel, under Compound Blur. Once you've arrived there, you can increase the Maximum Blur.

This will also blur your subject's face. You can reduce this by using two layers, reducing the blur in the second layer and making the blend mode Multiply.

Magnify

The Magnify tool is also in the Effects Panel. To use it you drop the effect where you want to use it on your footage then adjust the different tools under Magnify as you see fit.

Linear Wipe

To create a linear wipe between scenes you need to put your footage on two different tracks, overlaying the section that you want to wipe. Once this is done, you'll want to head to the Effects Panel and search for the transition called Linear Wipe. Apply it to the first scene which should be the top track. At the beginning spot where your two layers line up, you want to start the transition by putting a marker set at 0%. Then go to just before the overlapped scenes end set a second marker at 100%.


Many factors define the overall composition and quality of your project, but including cool Premiere Pro video effects can help set the right tone. Now that you have access to free templates and tips to create your own — these new effects could be what takes your video from good to great!
