STOP Keyframing to Zoom In & Out in Premiere Pro!

[ad_1] Hi there this is sumeesh from picks and perfect and i hope that you're having a fantastic day and if not i trust that you're doing your best to make it a beautiful one someone told me not to leave life to the winds of chance and change and i believe in that a thousand Percent anyway if you are a video creator and if you are hearing what i'm about to tell you for the very first time this my friend is going to change your life for the better have you ever come across situations where you have to zoom in and Out of the footage maybe it's a simple talking head video or a b-roll or even a screen capture time to time in tutorials we have to zoom in and out of specific areas to make things clear right but if you work with premiere pro or any other video editing software you already know This my friend is a tedious process you have to keep track of keyframing scaling positioning it is just a mess what if i told you that you could do all of this all the zooming in and out along with motion effects smoothed out eased in and eased out all of this Automatically sounds too good to be true doesn't it but right now there's a plug-in for it that does all of the heavy lifting for you and yes i bought it out of my own pocket when i learned about it a few weeks ago it absolutely knocked my socks off and i was Questioning myself as to why did i spend billions of hours doing it the manual way if you have been a premiere pro user or if you have used any software before this is going to blow your mind too and i can guarantee that it's definitely going to be a life changer so without Any further ado i'm super excited to show this to you let's get started Back in the magical world of premiere pro this time and if you wish to directly follow along i've linked both some sample footages and the plugin in the description and if there are discounts going on at the moment i'll update that too if you are interested so let's get started let us first Understand how this works so i was making this instagram reel on how to remove fence in photoshop and by the way it's on instagram at pixem perfect now let's say i was explaining about going to edit and then content aware film and i need to zoom in there so let's go to That section where we go to edit and then content aware fill so right now we click on edit and then content of fill so just before that i've kept the audio muted so that it doesn't interfere with this audio all right so i need to zoom in on edit so here's What i need to do after you've installed the extension go to window extensions and then drag zoom pro just simply refresh it so that you have the screen preview right over there now here's the magic you can visually tell where to zoom in so i want the zoom to be of 0.3 Seconds and all you got to do is just drag that's it so i want to zoom in this area and if you hold the space bar you can move where you want to zoom in so i'm going to zoom in exactly at this area and leave it done it does everything automatically right Now when you play it watch what happens so i'm going to play that section again for you so here let's play that see it automatically zooms into that area now after that we move to content aware and i'm going to move the camera right there i want to pan it right there or Maybe pan and zoom as well so we're just going to refresh again it's going to already tell you which area is already zoomed in and then you can just drag another area move it to content aware right there in the middle and just leave it done and this is how it looks See see the zoom see the transition it's so easy and you didn't have to do any of the keyframing manually now let's compare it with the traditional manual methods and see what are the problems we face and whether this panel can fix it so here we have another example and this Is from the tutorial where we remove the greens from the face remember we click on the adjustment layer icon and then we choose hue saturation so we need to zoom into that area if we had to do it manually here's what we would have to do First of all let's say we are going to zoom at this point so we would have to go to effect controls and then create a keyframe both for position and scale and then just scale in and then move into that area and if we don't do it properly there might be that black Gap right over there so we have to just control the size properly okay and then we also have to create a keyframe for the original position as well i almost forgot to do that so let's say i want to start right here i'm going to create Points for both of these right here and just reset it to previous position now you have a zoom in and this is not very exciting and on top of that if you want some motion effects you would have to add some more effects here and it can take a whole lot of time So instead if you were using the panel all you had to do was this let's go to drag zoom pro and let's say i want to zoom in quickly at 0.2 seconds and now let's quickly refresh it so that we have the screen right over there and we don't Want to zoom in that quickly we want to zoom in at just this point now when you drag an area and if you feel that you want to cancel it because if you leave it right now it will zoom into that area if you want to cancel it you can simply Press the escape key as simple as that let's drag in a new one and hold the spacebar to move it around and i want to make it just a little bigger just like this and it sticks to the edge you can choose not to but i usually keep it on we'll get to That later but there's no chance of leaving those gaps around the edge once you release it boom done that's all it took now let's play that section again see how simple that is that's just amazing isn't it and by the way if you felt this is a little quicker you can Always easily increase the duration here also did you notice there's a motion blur effect to it if we scroll a little back have a look there's this motion blur effect also added now you must be wondering once we have zoomed in then what then we can do a variety of things Let's say you want to move to this area of the image simple let's refresh that again it just doesn't show that particular area but the entire thing even though in the main preview you don't have that all you have to do is to just drag a rectangle where you want to Move the camera that's it so i want to zoom in to hue saturation adjustment and it will take the camera there exciting so let's go here so we applied hue saturation and then it easily moves there and of course at any point if you want to zoom out at 100 You just have to click zoom out to 100 you don't have to refresh it it's not necessary it's just to get a preview of the entire footage here that's it if you know here you want to zoom out or zoom into a particular place you don't really Have to refresh it or get a preview just click on zoom out to 100 and i would increase the time to 0.3 let's click on this button and it zooms out as simple as that now let's play this section see the motion blur still there it zooms Out slowly since we chose 0.3 let's say there's a middle section of the image that you want to zoom in for instance when we get to picking this color i want to zoom in on that area so first let's refresh it and if i try to drag a Rectangle right there and try to move it it just snaps into those guides i don't want that to happen i want it to move freely so here's what we do and by the way we accidentally did it no problem to undo it just simply click on undo button Right there controller command z will not work here because there are lots of steps involved but thankfully we have this undo button let's simply go to settings and disable snap to gridlines from enabled let's choose disabled now let's get back to drag and zoom and now When you drag a rectangle you can move it freely wherever you want let's make it a little bigger and move it at the center of the circle right over there the highlighted area and there you go my friend that area is now zoomed in have a look We move in there and that area is zoomed in to the very middle perfectly now at this point you might have noticed that the zoom in and zoom out are pretty smooth that's because i have set the transition interpolation to ease in and ease out if you do want it to be linear You can choose linear from here that will be a little simple but depending upon the kind of effect you're going for you can choose either of these so let's zoom out with linear to show you the difference so let's say i want to zoom out right over here let's click On zoom out to 100 so this will be a little linear motion instead of eased in and eased out so let's play it you would notice that it's just a very linear motion now let's talk about talking heads like this one from time to time we do need to zoom in and Out sometimes we have different cuts where we have to zoom in and out and here's how to do it and all the time we don't want to be dragging rectangles and every time we want to zoom into the same area it just doesn't make sense to do That manually as well let's say this is another talking head video and at this point where i just move my hand like this i want to zoom in so let's move in right over there at just this point and then open up drag zoom pro by going to window extensions and Drag zoom pro let's stick it right here at the top so this is where we want to zoom in let's first refresh it and it's not going to refresh because we have not selected the clip so let's first select the clip click on refresh and this time We do need the guides assistance so let's go to settings and we do want to enable the grid lines and secondly there's one more thing i wanted to show you there's a parameter called shutter angle and it is simply the motion blur effect that was added in talking head Videos i don't really like that much of a motion blur effect so we're just gonna go ahead with zero zero means no blur it tells right there and 360 has the most blur so let's go with zero now let's get back to dragon zoom tab and now let's drag in a rectangle Have a look it will stick to guides once we start moving it so 110 zoom looks good to me hold the spacebar and move it to the very center and it will just snap to it and release it now once you do that you would notice a very interesting thing first of all Let's have a look at the movement it's pretty good isn't it now i do want the movement to be a little earlier and a little quicker so let's go with 0.15 and we want the movement to be right here all right so let's refresh that we don't Really have to do that and now let's drag in a rectangle 110 zoom and let's move it the very center and there you go my friend and now let's play it perfect now what if you want to apply the same zoom throughout the video it just doesn't make sense to do it again And again by the way if you go to recents all of the recent zooms that you have done will be saved here so if you had zoomed in to the file section or the layer section in a screen capture all of that will be in the reasons so this is The one that we did most recently and if you want to apply it anytime again you just have to click on that let's say here we zoom out to 100 so have a look it zooms out again we want to zoom in so simply click on that Zoom in one not the zoom out one zoom in 110 and it will zoom in again how convenient is that but the next time you open the project this might be gone so we want to save this as a favorite that 110 zoom in you want to just click on The star button right there and zoom in face let's name it this way and every time you want to zoom in that way simply go to favorites and click on zoom in phase i already have one which i actually use in my projects this is the One that i did to demonstrate to you so let's say we zoom out right here by clicking on zoom out to 100 and then we want to zoom in again right here click on zoom in face that's it and it zooms in right there the saved Zooms can also help in a lot of different ways let's say if it's a screen capture and each area is saved as a preset imagine how convenient that would be so let's say i refreshed right here i have this layer area that i zoomed in at some point in time And i will zoom in like that and it will be saved in recents and i want to save it as a favorite by clicking on this star and just name it layer area okay and then we have let's say let's undo everything and let's say I have one more for the file areas let me decrease the volume so for the file area or the menu bar area let's drag it right over there and let's save this one as the menu bar now anytime you want to zoom into the layer areas just simply go to favorites And click on layer and that area would automatically be zoomed in and at some point you might want to zoom out and then if you want to zoom into the menu bar area simple click on menu bar and it will zoom into that if you do any sort Of video professionally this is hands down a super must-have plug-in and i'm telling you i usually don't say this but i have to say this time if you don't have this plug-in you're definitely missing out by the way if you cannot afford it at the moment i absolutely Understand and you don't have to but when you can this is a must-have i cannot even just put into words how much this has helped me since i got it it's just been three or four videos but it feels like i've saved a lifetime on top there's this guilt that i wasted four Frankenstein years trying to do this manually i really wish i knew about it earlier and by the way if you're somebody who creates tutorials or teaches online why are you still even watching this video you know when i was introduced to this through a random video it was on premiere pro performance Comparison something like that i just paused the video right there went to the website bought it and
