Adding creative transitions and effects to your videos can make them more engaging and visually appealing. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through creating a video to newspaper effect in Adobe Premiere Pro. This effect transforms your video clip into a newspaper front page with a dynamic zoom-out and a black-and-white animation.
Step 1: Superpose Your Video with a Newspaper Image
1. Import Your Assets:
o Import your video clip and a high-quality image of a newspaper front page into Premiere Pro.
2. Place Video and Image on Timeline:
o Drag your video clip to the timeline.
o Place the newspaper image above the video clip on a separate video track.
3. Create an Opacity Mask:
o Select the newspaper image on the timeline.
o Go to the Effect Controls panel and click on the Opacity option.
o Use the Pen tool to create an opacity mask around the area where you want your video to appear.
Step 2: Create a Freeze Frame
1. Add a Freeze Frame:
o Move the playhead to the frame where you want the freeze frame to start.
o Right-click on the video clip and select "Add Frame Hold."
o This will create a still image of that frame for the second part of the effect.
Step 3: Create a Zoom Out with Keyframes
1. Apply the Transform Effect:
o Search for the "Transform" effect in the Effects panel and drag it onto the video clip.
2. Set Keyframes for Zoom Out:
o Go to the Effect Controls panel.
o At the beginning of the freeze frame, click the stopwatch icon next to Scale to create a keyframe.
o Move the playhead to the end of the freeze frame and set another keyframe with a reduced scale value to create the zoom-out effect.
Step 4: Create a Black-and-White Animation
1. Apply the Lumetri Color Effect:
o Search for "Lumetri Color" in the Effects panel and drag it onto the video clip.
2. Adjust Saturation:
o In the Effect Controls panel, go to the Lumetri Color settings.
o Set keyframes for Saturation to animate from full color to black-andwhite. Start with the saturation at 100% and gradually decrease it to 0% over the duration of the zoom-out.
Step 5: Add a Quick Flash Effect
1. Apply the Brightness and Contrast Effect:
o Search for "Brightness and Contrast" in the Effects panel and drag it onto the video clip.
2. Set Keyframes for Flash Effect:
o In the Effect Controls panel, click the stopwatch icon next to Brightness to create keyframes.
o Set the brightness to a high value (e.g., 100) for a brief moment and then back to normal. This will create a quick flash effect that adds a dramatic finish to your transition.
