Adding spooky effects to your videos can enhance the overall atmosphere and captivate your audience. One popular effect is the scary eye effect, which transforms ordinary eyes into haunting, otherworldly visions. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to achieve this effect in Adobe Premiere Pro, allowing you to create chilling visuals that will leave a lasting impression. Follow these simple steps to bring your scary eye effect to life.
Step 1: Apply Color Balance RGB Effect
To begin, we'll apply the Color Balance RGB effect to our clip in Premiere Pro. This effect will allow us to manipulate the colors of the eyes and create the eerie look we desire.
1. Access Effects Control Panel: Select your clip in the timeline and navigate to the Effects Control panel.
2. Apply Color Balance RGB Effect: Search for the Color Balance RGB effect in the effects panel and drag it onto your clip in the timeline.
Step 2: Create and Track Mask
Next, we'll create a mask to isolate the area around the pupil of the eye and track its movement.
1. Create Mask: In the Effects Control panel, select the Pen tool to create a mask around the pupil of the eye.
2. Feather Mask: Adjust the mask feathering to soften the edges and create a more natural blend.
3. Track Mask: Use the mask tracking feature in Premiere Pro to track the movement of the pupil throughout the clip. Hit the play button to start the tracking process.
Step 3: Alter Eye Color with Color Balance RGB
Once the mask is tracked and in position, we can proceed to alter the color of the eye using the Color Balance RGB effect.
1. Adjust Color Values: In the Effects Control panel, locate the Color Balance RGB effect settings.
2. Select Eye Color: Manipulate the values of the red, green, and blue channels to achieve the desired eye color. For a classic scary eye effect, let's focus on creating a red eye.
3. Set Red Value: Increase the red channel value to around 200, while setting the green and blue values to zero.
Step 4: Repeat for Other Eye
If you want to apply the scary eye effect to both eyes, simply repeat the process for the other eye.
1. Duplicate Color Balance RGB Effect: Place another Color Balance RGB effect onto your clip.
2. Repeat Steps: Follow the same steps outlined above to create the scary eye effect for the second eye.
Conclusion
