This works great at this particular frame, but what happens when she moves? That’s the tracking part of the effect. So far, all we’ve done is isolate the mask on her face. The ellipse mask resized to cover only the face. Next, I zoom in on the image and size the mask for the face using the bounding controls on the ellipse ( Figure 5, below).įigure 5. When I click the ellipse button, Premiere Pro creates a mask in the clip in the sequence as shown in Figure 4 (below).įigure 4. Clip the ellipse button under the effect to create an ellipse mask. When I open the Effect Controls panel to customize the effect, directly under Mosaic I see ellipse and square buttons ( Figure 3, below) that allow me to create an ellipse or square mask and apply the effect as such.įigure 3. I choose Effects > Video Effects > Stylize > Mosaic, then drag it onto the clip in the timeline, as I would in previous versions of Premiere Pro. So let’s say I want to do a Witness Protection Program effect on the dancer in my clip and blur her face. Basically, every effect in Premiere Pro now comes with masking. This new feature is very convenient if you’re using one clip in multiple places and need to apply an adjustment to all the places it appears in your project. The Brightness adjustment I made to the Twirls clip in the Project panel has been applied to all instances of the clip in the sequence. Now, if I make a Brightness adjustment to the Twirls clip in the Project panel (an excessive one to underscore the point, as shown in Figure 2, below), the adjustment is reflected in all instances of the clip in the timeline.įigure 2. Now, if I go to the Effect Controls panel, I can see that the Brightness & Contrast effect has been added to Twirls in the Project panel (not just the selected clip in the timeline). Then I click the Effects tab and choose Video Effects > Color Correction > Brightness & Contrast and drag it into the Project panel, and drop it on the Twirls clip. The new Master Clips feature allows me to make the adjustment much more quickly.įirst, I select the Twirls clip in the Project panel and press F to open it in the Source Monitor. The Twirls clip appears 4 times in this timeline. With previous versions of Premiere Pro, I’d have to add the Brightness and Contrast adjustments to each instance of the clip in the timeline individually.įigure 1. Reviewing the footage in the timeline, it looks like it could use a little more brightness and contrast. Master ClipsĪs you can see in Figure 1 (below), I’ve used the Twirls clip 4 times in the Twirls sequence.

In this tutorial I’ll show you the four key new features in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
