 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro tutorial. In this one I'm going to show you how to do one of the coolest text effects I think in Premiere Pro. What is this? This is basically, we're adding video to the text. Some people call this a track matte text effect. It's been called a stencil effect, a knockout effect, a cutout effect. It's just an awesome effect and I'm going to show you how to do it in maybe just two minutes or so it'll take me to do it for you. So what do we got here? We got this guy vacuuming the forest as you do and then underneath it we've got some waterfall footage and it's shining through my name. Let's go ahead and do this from scratch. So let's just delete all this stuff and I'm going to show you step by step how to do it. So you guys can just look over my shoulder. Step one, drag and drop some footage onto the timeline like I've done there. Presto, I'm just going to shorten it. Step two, click on this little type tool in the tool bar and now click on the panel and just start typing something in. I'm going to type in my name. It doesn't look good. Curtis, there we go. Okay, good. I'm going to grab this little selection tool and I'm just going to center it. So I'm going to move it into the center just like that. You'll see the red lines that indicates it's centered horizontally and vertically. Okay guys, we're on our way. I'm just going to increase that size. The next step, we're going to go up to window workspaces and we're going to move over to captions and graphics. When you do that, it opens up the essentials graphics panel or the essential graphics workspace. Click on to edit and then when you click on edit, you will know that there's a whole bunch of things that there you can do here to make this look cool. But the one that I want to show you is right here and it's under this new layer. So you go to right here, you'll see new layer, click on that and now select from file. What's happening here? You can pull in a picture or a video. I'm going to pull in this video of the waterfall as we do and I'm going to go ahead and add that. So the waterfall has been added. Super cool. Now this isn't obviously what we want, but we're on our way. I'm going to go back to the essential graphics panel. I'm going to click on my name Curtis and now I'm going to go and click on this little check mark that says mask with text. When you do that, nothing happens, not to panic. Now just take your video and move it on top of the vice versa. Take the text and move it on top of the video and when you do that, now I'll hit play and you'll see here we've got that cool, super cool knockout cut out effect guys and we did it inside about two minutes. Thanks for watching this tutorial. Ten more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.
