In this Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorial, Justin Odisho shares five subtle editing tricks and techniques to enhance video projects.
1. **Text Over Video**: To make text stand out over solid video, lower the opacity, add a Gaussian blur to the background, or adjust the blending mode on the text.
2. **Adding Motion to Still Images**: Add gentle motion to still images by keyframing the scale, position, or rotation to create a dynamic feel.
3. **Sound Ducking**: Adjust the volume of audio clips to create a gentle "ducking" effect, making it easier to hear voiceovers or other audio elements.
4. **Sound Design**: Enhance scenes with sound effects, such as rain or footsteps, to create a more immersive experience.
5. **Vignettes**: Use the Lumetri Color panel to add vignettes to solid-colored skies, drawing focus to the subject and enhancing color grading effects.
