Researching last week's webinar on "Color Fundamentals in Adobe Premiere Pro" was interesting. I realized there were color tools in the program that I had not presented before. So, in addition to reviewing the basic color tools, I included the new features that Adobe added over the last year. This webinar is available now in both my store and Video Training Library.
Thinking about Premiere for my webinar suggested several topics for tutorials this week. The first looks at the new monitor ganging function. This can be used for both Source and Reference Monitors. Here's how it works.
Another fun new feature in Premiere is that we can now add gradient colors to text. Granted, this has probably not been keeping you awake at night, but when you want something to attract attention, you can't go wrong with this.
Finally, I have a new Motion tutorial this week. One of the true strengths of Motion is that it's the effects engine behind Final Cut. This week, I use Motion to create an animated, split-screen template that can be used and reused in Final Cut in a variety of ways. Even better, I include the template as a free download with the tutorial. Enjoy.
Apple's event is over, while NAB is arriving in less than a month. This is a time for new products, new ways of thinking and renewal for our industry after the last two years. The Mac Studio computer will serve as the engine underlying a new wave of power tools for media creators. There's a lot of very interesting technology about to be announced. Feels like spring again.
Until next week, stay safe, stay hopeful and edit well.
