 Hello everybody welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro 2022 tutorial. This one I'm going to show you how to create your own light leak and we're going to do it so we could save you a few bucks. I know there's lots of light leak packs out there but well you don't have to spend money on them if you don't want to. Here's what we got. I got this turquoise light leak it just sort of starts at the top left and then I just sort of drop it through the middle there. This is just an example there are you can make any color any style. Let me show you how to do it in about 60 seconds. So let's start from scratch. So we've just got some footage. I'm going to drag and drop some generic footage into the panel here and press though we've got this fly type look and I want a light leak to come in from the top left. Okay so I'm just going to trim it so it's a shorter clip. Alright let's get going the first step is we want to create an adjustment layer. Now the way I do it is over here in the project panel on the left side here. If you pull this out enough you'll see a new item option. When you left click on that you'll see adjustment layer. Go ahead and just click on okay. It'll match the aspect ratio and the frame and all that of the video that you've already working on. Drag and drop that adjustment layer onto the timeline just like that in the video track too and then just make it the same length as we have here. Okay good it has done nothing so far not to panic. Now I'm going to click on the adjustment layer and when you do that I'm going to now go over to the effects panel. So my effects panel is located right here and if you don't see it go to windows make sure there's a check mark beside effects. Good alright what we're looking for is what's called a four color gradient so I'm just going to type it in because that way it's easier. So in effects type in four color and when you do that you'll see video effects generate four color gradient. Drag and drop that gradient onto the adjustment layer and boom we've got this yellow green pinkish magenta blue looking gradient and we're off to a start here but yeah obviously we got a bit of work to do. Now go up to effect controls like I've done here in the effect controls panel what we want to do is we want three of these colors to go black and then one to go to the color that you want to use. So in this case I want my light leak to start up at the top left but if you wanted it at the top right you would do it a little differently. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to point two which is green make it black point three click on that click on the little rectangle with the purple or the magenta and make it black and then on point four click on the blue and then color picker make it black so only the top left is yellow. Okay now depending on what color you want your light leak to be in this case I'm going to go with a nice cool little turquoise look because I like turquoise so there we go I've selected this color I'm going to left click on okay so we've got turquoise and then we've got three points that are black okay now go back and click on point one when you do that you can see that there's a stopwatch or there's a toggle animation left click on that and what we're going to do is we're going to animate this turquoise color over time. So at the beginning let's say yeah this is a bit too much turquoise right so I'm just going to go ahead and reduce that so I'm going to reduce this to about minus 285 and then let's go ahead and reduce it quite a bit to minus 340 again guys this is totally up to you what you want it to look like I just want it to go subtle and then it'll flash in and flash out so I've got it these are my settings again you can modify it as you see fit now I'm going to go forward to let's say three seconds and by this point I want the light leak to come across and down so what would I do I would then move this to the right so let's say something like that we're over to the right side now and then I want it to come down and through so this is animation so we're animating and out basically so what does that look like well it looks kind of weird hit spacebar this is the light leak that we've animated now it doesn't work yet but that's okay the next and final step is we need to go ahead and adjust the blend mode under opacity you're going to see blend mode set to normal go ahead and now set that to lighten and now take your playhead back to the beginning and hit spacebar there comes the light oh it's a little bit too purpley for me so lighten might not be the right blend mode let's try screen and let's see what that looks like there we go yes light leak just came in that's all there is to it save yourself some money guys thanks for watching this tutorial a ton more stuff coming up stay tuned
