 Well, everyone welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 tutorial this one I'm gonna show you how to make a flashing color text Effect so let me just show you what I'm talking about here I'm just gonna go to spacebar and you're gonna see that I've got them flashing and then I've got a second version That flashes a little differently the first one flashes But they blend into each other as you can see the colors become the next colors and then in the second version I've got a flash it goes red Then it goes blue then it goes green then it goes yellow, but they don't blend into each other So I'm gonna show you how to do both of those and I'll do it in about Yeah, two minutes at the most let's get started Let's start from scratch from ground zero so you can see how it works first step here You've opened it up. You've opened up Premiere Pro You want to go to your new item under project and you want to create something called black video? Let's click on that and just create any old-size black video for the tutorial now We've got some black video in the project panel. I'm gonna drag and drop that into the timeline and for me It looks like I've got about one second of video. Let's see here About a second and I want a bit more than that. So I'm gonna make this a little longer So I'm gonna make this four seconds and if you see there at the bottom. It says duration 000400 that basically means four seconds, so we're working with four seconds of video Okay, the next step is we're going to create some text So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna zoom in a bit here So I'm gonna go to the type tool in the toolbar here and before I do that I'm actually just gonna make the Program monitor a little bigger and click on the type tool and then I'm gonna type in flash and Let's go to fit. There we go. And now I've got some big heavy bold text I'm gonna center it a little bit just for Yeah, just to make it nice and even and then I'm going to increase the length of the text to the entire Duration so we've got four seconds worth of text Okay Now we're gonna go do the effect and I've already left the tint up there But the way to do it is you want to go to your effects panel type in tint and then under video effects color correction Tint you will have the option to drag and drop that tint onto the Text layer not onto the video layer but onto the text layer When you do that you want to go back to your effect controls and you will see tint show up under effect controls What we're doing in this one is you see that we're working with white text to start So what you want to do is you want to click the toggle animation here beside map White to I'm going to click that and now we are animating the tint So at the zero seconds I want it to be white and then at let's say four frames. Let's go four frames in Okay, I went one too many. So if you're if you go too far you can left click on step back one frame All right four frames in we're gonna change it to white and then we're gonna change it to red And these are just arbitrary colors that I'm just going with to show you the technique I'm going to move forward four more frames till I'm on the eighth frame and then I'm gonna map them from red We're gonna go to we're gonna go to some sort of Teal no, we're gonna go with some magenta looking color just for giggles, right? Okay. Good. So now we've got it Map to magenta or I guess that's yes magenta. Let's go forward four more frames to 12 And then we're gonna map it to something different. So we're gonna go to I don't know Let's go to you guys want to go to blue. Let's go to blue. All right, cool And you'll see what I'm doing here is I'm just basically moving forward four frames you can move up any amount that you want I'm gonna let's select a teal color now and Whatever colors you want to flash I'm gonna go to the 20 second mark and we're gonna change the color again We're gonna go from teal to some sort of let's go with a The nice bright yellow. Okay, cool. And then for the last Little bit we're gonna go to 24 seconds and we're gonna make one more change and this one will be some kind of orange Okay, we're gonna with a bright orange and presto. You see what the technique was that I was doing now when we go back It's flashing and all you need to do is either keep doing that all the way through if you have a special set of Colors that you want to run or I am just gonna cut that I'm gonna delete that in and if we just want this to repeat I'm just gonna hit alt or option I'm gonna push up and then I'm just creating duplicates of it So I'm just hitting alt or option pushing up and then I'm just sliding it in front Let's see if I can get this one in the right place. Here we go And then here we go hit space bar flashing color effect now I will show you one last thing I'll show you on this last piece here if you don't want the colors to bleed into each other as you see they're going here It's going from magenta to purple To dark purple to blue to blue different color blue So they're all sort of like blending in what you need to do is you need to take these key frames Which are under tint so you go to tint you map white to and then on This side of things you're gonna see all of these little key frames what you need to do Select one of the key frames right click on it or select all of the key frames in this situation And change them to hold Here's what happens when you do that This will be the last thing I'll show you here is the colors They hold until the next key frame is called So instead of blending into each other like these ones are blending These ones are just holding so they're just the color that we selected And then as soon as the three or four key frames are up it goes to the next color That's it guys. Thanks for watching ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned
