The video discusses various tips and techniques for improving video edits in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Here are the main points:
1. **Edit in 4K, even with non-4K footage**: This preserves more detail and allows for a 4K export option on YouTube and Vimeo.
2. **Use an 18:9 aspect ratio**: This is becoming the new standard for phones, tablets, and laptops, and future-proofs your content.
3. **Use camera lens blur instead of Gaussian blur**: This creates a more realistic blur effect, especially in VFX shots.
4. **Desaturate blacks and whites**: This prevents unrealistic color casts in the darkest and lightest areas of the image.
5. **Use the horizontal flip effect**: This can help create a smoother edit by flipping clips to match the direction of camera movement.
6. **Use key frame interpolation**: This creates smoother animations by adding ease-in and ease-out effects.
7. **Use the transform effect**: This allows for motion blur to be added to animations within Premiere Pro.
8. **Export in widescreen with black bars**: This can help prevent detail loss when nesting clips and allows for more dynamic motion.
9. **Add camera movement in widescreen**: This can enhance the dynamism of clips by animating them to move under the black bars.
10. **Fix color grading issues on export**: Enable display color management and use Adobe's gamma compensation LUT to prevent color changes on export.
11. **Increase the bitrate on export**: This reduces compression and preserves more detail in the final export.
These tips and techniques can help improve the quality and professionalism of video edits in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
