What effect should I tutorialize in premiere pro next?

[jamesburtle]

Here’s one tip to make this way easier. You can actually double click the display in the program monitor and drag it- it will change the x and y so you don’t have to drag those numbers back and forth. As long as the correct clip is selected in the timeline, it will work! Happy editing.

Thanks! I have been spending too much time (and so many other YouTube videos) trying to do this and this video made it so easy! You have many great videos, I've appreciated them all - Thank you!

I need a tutorial on how I can bounce a soccer ball like that.

[RaydeA]

Omg, where have you been, Javier?!?! I’ve been searching for editing videos that make it easy for over a year now. You’re definitely making the most approachable videos for this kind of stuff.

Your stuff is majestic, short, to the point and perfectly executed. I hope millions learn through your example how content should be produced. Congratulations.

OMG. You have NO idea how this just saved me on a job where this dude kept weaving in and out of the shot on the one cutaway camera we had (and needed). THANK YOU!!! Super-easy to understand and SUPER effective!!

I know its been 3 yrs but are their any AI or plug in extentions that can follow the ball? I see you've done a video where you mask selected mask forward to create a text box that follows which is cool but wondering if PPro has any AI or extensions for this soccerball trick Thanks again

[CliffJennings]

Quick and to the point! How every tutorial should be. Great job man!

[ButteryBros]

MY DUDE!!! used this today, hope you're well.

[jstewart]

there must be an automatic method to do this based on telling it to follow the balls unique pattern. What is that command?

[RichardsWorld]

I watched a video where they do this much easier with After Effect, but I don't really want to pay extra for it. I did it the same way you did except instead of using the rulers I made a simple title layer with a X and I put the X exactly in the middle. Then I keyed the frames the way you did, and delete the title later. Unfortunately this is a pretty tedious task.

Thanks for not overexplaining yet keeping it simple and thorough enough for beginners!

[jjfecik]

Wow! Such an awesome video & super helpful even 4 years later!! Thanks man & excited to follow along as you make more.

[catherineshock]

So easy to follow, thank you so much. Total video editing newb but want to edit my gopro video from snorkeling where I saw an octopus, want the octo stay centered since my person was kind of bobbing around in the current and waves.

[AfricanSunProductions]

Very cool. I don't have a purpose for this at the moment but still I'm learning all kinds of different techniques for the future.

[drzrider]

Well im using it to track oncoming motorcycles on the trail. As they come at me I like to zoom in and do a quick pause up close. Some like it when they show up on someone else video on well known adventure routes. Thanks.

[jnoble]

I was able to follow along to a point. I didn't see where you lock in a frame once you've got it into position

[SKILLZPLUR]

After Effects enters chat lmao *Does it all in one click*

[dude]

you dont need to use safe area to getting exact center just do a simple divide, like if your scene is 1920*1080 do this for vertical : 1920/2 =960 so frome the view menu (from add guid) make a specific vertical guid in pixle by this value and it will be exactly your center and then for horizontal do the same - 1080/2 =540 but this time from menue change the vertical to horizontal . that's it
