In this lesson, I will show you the different types of effects available to you in Adobe Premiere Pro. There are various types of effects you can apply to your clips to enhance their visual appearance or add creative elements. Let's get started. The first thing you'll want to know is how to navigate to the effects that are available to you. You do that by going over to the Effects panel, which should be in the lower left corner, right beside where your project panel is. So you click here and now you have the various types of effects that are available to you. The first that you should familiarize yourself with are video effects. These effects are used to alter the visual appearance of the entire video clip or a portion of it. You can adjust parameters such as brightness, contrast, saturation and color balance. There are also effects for applying stylized looks such as black and white and sepia tone. There are also two different types of transition effects, video and audio. Audio gives you various ways to smooth out your clip from one way to the other, and that also goes for the video transition effects as well. They are used to smoothly blend or switch between video clips or audio clips. Premiere offers a wide range of transitions including fades, wipes, dissolves and slides. These can add a polished and professional touch to your video edits. One other one that you have available are audio effects. In addition to video effects, Adobe Premiere also provides audio effects to enhance the sound in your videos. You can apply effects like equalization, nor is reduction, reverb and volume adjustments to improve the audio quality and create a desired ambience. One other one that you have is where you would actually create it, and this is called a motion effect. Motion effects allow you to animate your video clips or create dynamic movements. You can adjust parameters such as position, scale, rotation, opacity, and you can do this all over time. Adjust these effects by going up to your effects control, and then if you select a clip, then you see that you have the various position, scale, rotation. You can switch between in order to create the effect that you want. These effects are often used to create smooth zooms, pans, or dynamic text animations. Another effect that you have available are time effects. Now time effects enable you to manipulate the speed or duration of your video clips. You can apply a slow motion or a fast motion effect to create dynamic or comedic effects. You can do this in several different ways. One way that you could do this is you can right click and go to speed and duration. Here you can adjust your duration. If you notice if you move it one way or the other, then the speed goes up. If you want to shrink the amount of time that he is up, then you could pull to the left on the duration, or you could go to the right and you see that those both correlate. When you play it, hit OK, and that takes in your effect. You'll notice on the timeline that the clip has now shrunk, and if you play it, you'll see that the only thing affected was the video and that he did speed up there. Now, time remapping is another powerful feature that allows you to speed up, slow down, or reverse specific sections of your footage. If you go back to this, then you'll notice that in addition to going in forward speed, you can also reverse the speed and now that actually makes your clips mirror what they would be. Now, instead of it, if you had to play it forward, now you'll see that it's actually a reverse effect here. If we undo that, Manzy, then you'll notice that now the motion is back to what it was before and still sped up there. And if you wanted to go back to make that to the actual speed of what it was, that's going to be 100% there. And now you'll see that the clip goes a little further in that direction. And then also one other thing is if you slow the speed down, then that's actually making the video go slower. Another effect that is available to you is something called the keying effect. Now, keying effects are used for removing or replacing specific colors in your footage. So a lot of times when you hear that someone says they're keying something, it's going to be either a green or a blue. Here we have here will key in on the green and that's not the blue of a shirt, but the background. So you can take that color out and you can actually put this person into another scene. And so the most common keying effect is the green screen or chroma key, as it's called, which allows you to replace a green or blue background with a different image or a video clip. And so in Adobe Premiere, you actually have several different ones. And one other thing that you should know is that you can certainly go in and find the effect that you're looking to find. But you can always go up into the search bar here. And as you start typing in, you'll see that it gives you different elements based on what you've just typed in there. So because I typed in key, then anything that comes under keying is going to be here. So that's why you see Alpha, I just, but if you look at some of the more obsolete ones, then you'll see key, key, key. And so it's just a keyword search that you're doing. And so just to show you just how this would look, we'll just drop in this ultra key here. And you'll notice that now you have the ultra key here and your effects control. And to key out the color that you want, then you could either go into the color picker and try to find it that way. But one of the easier and more efficient ways of doing it would be to use the dropper. Now, one thing you'll need to know about the dropper is that you need to hold it down and go over to the color that you want. Once you have found the color you want, then you see it will correspond right beside the dropper of the color there. And then once you see it, see here, I'm actually over the blue and you'll see that the color changes. So once you have it over the desired color that you want to key out, then you would simply unclick. And now you see that background has been removed. And then we'll drop this one over here just so you can see. And now you'll see that he is actually keyed over. And I'm going to mute the music here so I can keep talking. But now you'll see that he's actually keyed over. And just to know that it is a keying over that you need to. Remember, because in over as in you're looking at your timeline, anything underneath the clip is going to be keyed over. So if you were to do this over top, then it actually just puts it over top and you don't have the effect. So you need to drop it underneath in order to key it. And then one other thing is if you'll find that the key isn't quite what you want, then you can relax it a little bit. Or if you really want to tune in on some of the edges of what you're keying, then you'd go to aggressive. But this was a pretty good key. So you would not have to worry about it there. Now, one other effects that you have there actually specific into, so we'll exhale that. And now you are able to open up all of the effects that you are looking to do. And those are just some special effects that Adobe Premiere allows to add a creative element to your videos. This includes blurs, glows, distortions, and stylized filters. These effects can be used to create unique visual styles or simulate specific looks. So congratulations, you are ready to jump into effects in Adobe Premiere. Remember, these are just a few examples of the types of effects you can find in Adobe Premiere. The software offers a wide range of effects and each category contains numerous options to explore. Stay tuned for the next lesson where I will show you in detail how to use the effects panel. Thanks for watching.
