Adobe Certified Expert exam objective

Describe the options and process required when working with clip-based effects by using the Effect Controls panel.

1.

Open Premiere Pro 2.0 to the Lesson 9 project and switch to the Effects workspaceWindow > Workspace > Effects.

2.

Drag the top of the Effects panel frame to make it as tall as possible.

3.

Open the Video Effects folder.

4.

Click the Effects panel's Fly-out Menu and select New Custom Bin. That bin/folder appears in the Effects panel below Video Transitions.

5.

Highlight it and change its name to something like

My Favorite Effects

6.

Open any Video Effects folder and drag a few effects into your custom bin.

7.

Drag the Lesson 10. Opacity and Volume are covered later in the book.

8.

Toggle the Black & White effect off and on, using the button () in the Effect Controls panel.

Toggling an effect on and off is a good way to see how an effect works with other effects. This Toggle switch is the only parameter available with the Black & White effect. The effect is either on or off.

Moving between full-color and black-and-white clips can be jarring. So here's a fix: Use a Cross Dissolve between clips or within the grayscale clip. To put one within the clip in this lesson, select the Razor Edit tool (C), cut the clip in two places, drag the Cross Dissolve transition to those edit points, select the first and third clip segments in turn, and switch off the Black & White effect on both. Now your sequence shifts gradually from color to black and white and back to color. Undo those edits by clicking the History tab and clicking Apply Filter.

9.

Check that the clip is selected so its parameters are displayed in the Effect Controls panel, then click on Black & White to select it and press Delete.

10.

Drag Camera Blur (Blur & Sharpen folder) into the Effect Controls panel.

This is the other way to apply a video effectselect the clip in the Timeline to switch on its display in the Effect Controls panel, and drag the effect to the Effect Controls panel.

With so many video effects folders, it's sometimes tricky to locate an effect. If you know part or all of an effect's name, start typing it in the Contains text box at the top of the Effects panel. Premiere Pro immediately displays all effects and transitions that contain that letter combination, narrowing the search as you type.

11.

Twirl down Camera Blur's disclosure triangles and note there are three items the Black & White effect did not have: a Lesson 9-2).

12.

Click the Setup button, drag the slider to the right to increase the bluryou get a real time display in the Camera Blur Setting screenand click OK.

13.

Move the Percent Blur slider in the Effect Controls panel.

As you change that setting it shows up in real time in the Program Monitor.

14.

Open the Effects Fly-out Menu and select Delete All Effects from Clip (you can not delete Motion and Opacity). This is an easy way to start fresh.

15.

Drag Spherize (Distort folder) to the Effect Controls panel and twirl down its disclosure triangles.

Like the Motion fixed effect above it in the Effect Controls panel, Spherize has a Transform button () that lets you directly control its location in the Program Monitor.

16.

Move the Radius slider to about 120 so you can see the effect in the Program Monitor.

17.

Click "Spherize" (on its name in the Effect Controls panel) to switch on its Transform control crosshairs in the Program Monitor (highlighted in the next figure) and drag the bulbous-looking effect around inside that screen.

18.

Delete Spherize and drag Wave Warp (Distort folder) to the Effect Controls panel and open its six disclosure triangles to display its eight parameters.

19.

Make various selections from each of the three drop-down lists and adjust some of the other parameters.

20.

Play this clip.

This is one of the animated effects you'll find in Premiere Pro. While virtually all Premiere Pro video effects let you animate them over time using keyframes, Wave Warp and a few others have built-in animations that operate independently of keyframes.

21.

Reset the Wave Warp back to its starting point by clicking the Reset button in its upper right corner.
