How to Overlay Videos in Premiere Rush | Adobe Creative Cloud

Prep your project:

1. Create a new project in Premiere Rush (File – New – Project). Name your project.

Tip: You can also click Create New Project.

2. Import videos: Use the panel on the left (i.e., “Local”, “Cloud”, “Favorites”) and locate the video clips you’d like to use. Click on each video thumbnail – Rush adds the clips to your timeline in the order you select them. Click “Create” to import the clips. This may take a few minutes.

Position the 2nd clip:

1. Stagger the 2nd clip on the timeline: Drag the blue playhead to the point on the timeline where you’d like the 2nd clip to begin. Drag the clip above the 1st so the left edge aligns with the playhead. Rush adds it to a new track above the initial one.
2. Crop the video clip: Choose the Crop & Rotate tool, then expand the Advance section in the Transform panel. Under Crop, move the Left and Right sliders to crop the clip.

Note: We set the Left and Right crop to 33%.

3. Position the video clip: Under Basic, move the Horizontal Position to align the clip to the left edge.

Note: We set the Horizontal Position to 325.

Position the 3rd clip:

1. Stagger the clip on the timeline: Drag the blue playhead where you’d like the 3rd clip to begin and move the clip above the other 2.
2. Crop and position the clip: Crop the clip and move it into position.

Note: We set the Left and Right crop to 33% and the Horizontal Position to 1594.

Add another clip:

1. Click the Add Media (+ icon with a blue background), choose Add Media, and select the 4th clip provided in the exercise files, or use your own. Click Add.
2. Move the new clip into the desired position on the timeline. Use the Transform properties (from the Crop & Rotate tool) to adjust the scale and position.
Note: We set the scale for the Width and Height to 50, Left crop to 32%, Horizontal Position to 1441, and Vertical Position to 810.

That's it! Play your sequence to see the complete movie title.

Can you have more than 3 additional tracks/videos?

[pinakinkamboj]

Unable to change the sizes as a live view. I can't see the changes take effect while I am making them... any solution for that?

[LiminalVoices]

What? It's that easy?! I havent opened Rush. Scared of new things. But, now, wtf, what am doing? Thanks for these quick videos

[javierserranoyoutube]

How do I select what will become my video thumbnail in Rush? Thanx!

[linda-ringie-grant]

How did you do the purple overlay at the beginning of your video? Can you do that in Rush?

[dennislacroix]

Please excuse my ignorance, but is there a way in Adobe Rush to insert those black lines that go on top and bottom of some videos? Thanks in advance

[teraphonk]

How can I add a border for Overlay Videos?

[stevenamartin]

So Cool! You just need a better way to handle fades and edits of music clips

[jackspde]

[Honeybaebeyy]

[MoonSpeaksTV]

Does anyone know what’s it’s called or how to achieve the task of having a bunch of video clips and when you zoom out the video clips are inside of one big word or letter ?

[victorkonstantellos]

@Adobe Creative Cloud When I use this feature, after rendering, the panels glitch and they change positions for a flash second. Is there a way to fix that? I have tried playing with the settings for quality/frame rate but they don't seem to make much difference.

[kholoudabuof]

guys I'm new to videos editing world, how can I add logo onto a video on premiere rush ? like in the corner at the whole video .. thank you in advance

Rush would be amazing if it wasnt so damn buggy. Audio issues and constant slow downs. My rig is top notch. Runs premiere pro no problem. Forum support sucks right now. Cant wait till this software gets the kinks worked out cause its rough right now

[arbitermatt]

In this video you've been able to layer 4 videos, but the most you're able to do in my software is 3? Is this possible or is it just misleading?
