 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 tutorial and this one I'm gonna show you how to create a watermark inside of your video how to put a watermark on your video And I'll even show you how to animate it. Why would you want to do this? A couple reasons one as you can see here This is a music video if I hit spacebar. We've got a guy playing music and The music industry is especially notorious for people You know stealing clips and taking music and uploading it and pretending You know, it's their music or you know trying to monetize other people's stuff the second reason you might want to do a Watermark like this is because if you've made a video as a video editor or a graphic designer and you know You show your end product to somebody and they look at it and go Hey, this is great and rather than pay you for it They right-click save as or they download it and you don't get paid for it So watermark protects your work and it makes sure that people know who did it Alright that little preamble out of the way. Let's go now. You're gonna see here that I've got the watermarks Look right in the bottom right here super easy to do if you stick with me to the end I'll even show you how to animate it to make it even a little better. All right, cool All right, let's go through this step by step So I'm gonna delete everything here and we're gonna go through it front to back mandate Deleting everything starting from scratch. Okay first step is you go to your finder or your windows Explorer Wherever you have your footage and I'm gonna drag and drop this footage This is stock footage of just some guy playing the drums as you saw Drag and drop it into your project panel second step take the image and You're also going to drag and drop that into the project panel now when we go to the project panel We're gonna have both of these assets in here The next step is you want to left-click on the footage Drag and drop it into your timeline. That's gonna go ahead and load it up Now I'm only gonna want to say let's work with five seconds of footage. I'm gonna cut this a little shorter So I'm just gonna drag this to the left So we've got five seconds because if you go longer, it just takes more time to process it Okay, so we've got the footage we hit space bar and Bam, there he is doing his thing. I'll make it a little bigger so you can see it All right, the second step is you want to take the Image or the logo or in this case the watermark Drag and drop that on to the second track on top of V1 so on to V2 and You're gonna see that it went yellow here So that means it's a little bit processor heavy And you're gonna see a few things one that the image is too small because it's a small image and B It doesn't go through the end all the way to the end of the video so we're gonna solve those things right away first step take this top image and Slide it out to the end So now it goes all the way to the end the next step is you want to double click like I just did there on the Watermark that you're gonna be using and when you do that you're gonna get the bounding box like I have here now I'm going to expand the size of it So I'm pulling down on the on the bottom right corner. I'm also holding down shift so that it Expands proportionately so it doesn't go too high or too wide And boom that looks like a pretty good size I'm now going to left-click on it and I'm going to put it into place I'm gonna say that's watermark on the bottom right again You can watermark anywhere you want you can make it huge whatever works for you But for this tutorial we're gonna do bottom right, okay? I'm gonna left-click off of that now I'm gonna go back. I take the Playhead moved to the back at the beginning and I hit space bar the watermark is in place That might be all you need to do and if that's the case your job is done However, some things you may want to consider is if you click on the watermark when I do that You want to go to your effect controls panel if you do not see it by default you should but if you don't You want to go down to window you make sure there's a check mark beside effect controls Go to your effect controls panel and in this place you may want to either reduce the opacity So let's say you don't want it to be too like way out there So maybe you want to go to something like 50% I don't know something like that, right? So it's not Super salient, so it sort of blurs into the background Fine that looks pretty cool, too, right? And it's not like totally in your face again Totally up to you. I'm gonna go back to a hundred percent Secondly, you may want to animate your watermark now. This is like Bonus learning like this is this isn't gonna be on the test guys but if you want to do that make sure your playhead is at the start and What I'm gonna do is I am gonna go ahead and left click on The toggle animation I'm gonna rotate it So I'm gonna do a rotation animation just to show you what it would look like so left click on this Set the rotation is set to zero. I'm gonna move forward to about one second Let's say at one second. I'm gonna rotate it 25 degrees to the left. So I went to minus 25 And then when I hit two seconds, I'm gonna rotate it back to zero And then I'm just gonna show you really quickly here when I get to three seconds I'm gonna just move the time head up to three seconds. If you're not quite there we go I'm gonna move it to 25 to the right and Then at the four second mark. I'm gonna go back to zero just to show you a very quick animation for your Watermark pardon me. Who's my voice now? I've done it and you'll see here that you've got some keyframes, right? There we go So if we go back to the beginning and this is just extra marks guys not on the test and we hit spacebar Or we hit play here watch what happens We've got a very subtle watermark animation in your video that way, you know what there's no way in heck Anybody's gonna be able to take that out of the video. So the video is forever yours And if anybody uses it, you'll know it because your watermarks there guys. Thanks for watching this tutorial ton more stuff coming up Stay tuned
