Premiere Gal

A common mistake I see a lot of beginner editors making is relying on fancy transitions to move from scene to scene. Some of the best transitions, however, are as simple as a sound bridge. I talk about this in today's video :)

v24.2.1 of Premiere Pro is out. 6 new features: Color Fonts, Emoji Support, Enhance Speech, TikTok Publishing, New Proxy Preset Workflow, and Sony Burano XOCN support. See it all in action ?? https://lnkd.in/dQhSX52P

What do you all think about an Ai search assistant that can quickly find related footage, music, and sfx to match the current video you have in your timeline? Envato has released a beta version or this in their "Envato" extension for Premiere Pro. https://lnkd.in/d5EZSmU2 #videoediting #ai #aiautomation

Video automation tools and templates have been the key to keeping my weekly YouTube creation sane. Without them, I'd be a mess! I recently started using a Pr extension called Automation Blocks by mamoworld that is filled with one-click scripted presets which can perform certain tasks for you in Premiere. (There is also a version for After Effects). For example, if you want to apply the classic Ken Burns motion to a series of photos just click "Run" and done! Also, it can bulk update Text in Motion Graphics with a spreadsheet or set label color based on item type (e.g photo vs video). Or even generate YouTube chapter timecodes. You can also build new scripts to perform new tasks using their "block" coding system. For example, I worked with Mathias M?hl (Mamoworld) to make a custom script preset to "run" a sequence that applies various animations to my captions for me. We also made a "wiggle" shake preset that works with the transform effect so you can easily add blur to your shakes. It's really neat! And my custom presets are free and available to use in the extension if you're interested (see video). I'm so grateful to Mathias for developing tools like this - he is a creative genius! And he is really making our jobs easier with tools like this. I'm also curious to me know what other tools you use to automate your video flow!

I recently did an in-depth review on FireCut AI. It's a plugin for Premiere Pro with many tools that takes care of typical time-consuming editing tasks for social media editors. It has silence cutting, filler word removal, chapters, repetition remover, zooms, animating captions, and more. You might think that third-party silence removers are obsolete because Premiere Pro now has its own built-in pause and filler word removal that you can do for free with their Text panel. However, FireCut does have far more advanced silence removing controls such as adding padding and j-cuts that can make it more customizable. But I think the most useful tools in FireCut is the repetition removal, multi-track podcast editor, and, my favorite, the automatic animating captions feature. Indeed their caption making process is the most straight forward I've seen on the market. It comes with easy one-click presets and the captions render out as png files very fast after generation. Considering their subscription price is high ($25/monthly) and they offer an array of Ai tools, it would be great if users could choose to just pay for 1 tool they'd like to use. For example, a few people commented on the video that they would only like to use their caption animator for a reduced fee. Have a watch and let me know what you think.
