1. Premiere Fun Things
Episode 3…

2. Split Screen Want to do a perfect split screen? Yes! Okay!
Put your two videos on two different lines
Add the Video Effect under Transform called Crop
Under Crop in the Effects Control panel, set Left to 50 on one clip and Right to 50 on the other
You could also do top/bottom! Just remember when you film split screens to keep the person on the correct side with the camera!

3. Black and White The fast way… Video Effects Image Control

4. Black and White—another way
Another way is to use the Video Effect under Adjust called ProcAmp
Change the Saturation level to 0…that desaturates and removes all color
You can also adjust clip brightness, contrast, and if you want selective color, play around with low sat levels and change hues…kinda fun

5. Sepia Look To give film a sepia look…
First, apply a Black and White video effect
Video Effect, Image Adjust, Black and White
Then, apply a Color Balance (RGB) effect
Video Effect, Image Adjust, Color Balance (RGB)
A good setting is 75, 75, 50 but you can play with that to decide for yourself

6. Sepia, but Old Look…
For more control over the colors of the light and dark areas, use Tint
Video Effects, Image Control, Tint
Change the black areas to a color (here, brown)
Change the white areas to a color (here, off white)
Set amount to a high number (80-100)

7. Funky Variation of Tint

8. Crazy Blur In Simple, it’s a Preset!
Effects panel, Presets, Blurs, Fast Blur In
This makes it quick go from blurry to normal (you can do Fast Blur Out to do the opposite

9. Crazy Blur In-Refined
You can customize exactly when the blur stops and starts in the Effect Controls panel
Just move the starting and ending keyframes in the sequence
Good for “dream” sequences

10. Cool Zoom Transition This one is neat…great for action scenes
Have two clips, side by side
Pull the Cross Zoom Transition over to the overlap between clips (Effects, Video Transitions, Zoom, Cross Zoom)

11. Cool Zoom (cont’d)
Click the transition and then use the Effect Controls panel to modify the length or focus—check “Show Actual Sources” so you can see it

12. Adding Strobe…
Think strobe light (blinking)… if you apply strobe, it will blink white (you’ll fix that, though)
Video Effects, Stylize, Strobe
Basically, you change the color of the strobe and then mess with the settings to give it an old school blinking filmstrip feel (see my settings on next slide)

13. Adding Strobe…
Use strobe after other effects (see below) to get cool old school film! 
