In today’s video, I’m going to show you how to create a rapid photo shuffle effect. So that way you can start using it in your own videos. And today’s video is sponsored by Envato Elements. I’ll tell you more about them later on.
For now, let’s go ahead and jump on in. So here inside of Alight Motion , I have this folder full of all the photos I want to use. I’m going to open this up by double clicking and I have it set to the icon because that way you can easily see all of the photos. And the reason why I like this is that I can go ahead and move some photos around to rearrange it in the order that I want. And now we need to change the duration of the photo so that way it doesn’t default to like 3 seconds each. Select all of them by pressing command or control. A control click and then go down to speed in duration. And instead of 3 seconds since this timeline is 24 frames per second, I’m going to have each photo be a court order of 24 frames per second, which is zero eight press okay. And now if we drag all of these clips into our timeline,
so it goes really fast here. Now, it may not be fast enough. You can certainly change it to zero four to make it even faster. But I like zero eight. And the next thing you need to do is just go through quickly on each photo and make sure it’s at the right scale. So you’ll select the photo, go up to effect controls, scale it down, and make sure that the image is fully in view. So now when we play it back, it’s rapidly going through the photos, but we need to make it more dynamic.
This is where we’re going to go into effects. But first, my name is Kelsey and welcome back to Premier Golf. This video is helping you out so far. Sure. To give it a thumbs up as well as subscribe. And if you’re looking for some fast photo effects where you don’t need to actually go in and animate yourself but use templates, you can use my link below to get seven days free of unlimited templates from import two elements. I just search for fast photo shuffle underneath video templates and over 3000 templates came up. For example, this fast photo slideshow for after effects is really cool because it has a really rapid zoom out effect similar to what we were doing in this video. But if you need a specific software, you can get on here and you can search for after effects Alight Motion Apple Motion Final Cut Pro or DaVinci. If we wanted something for Premiere, for example, we can select that and just go through and see these different types of photo effects that they have here.
Now we’ve put a link below to my favorite photo slideshow templates from import elements, so you can go check that out as well. And of course, you can find more than just photo slideshow templates. If you go to video templates in general, you can see that you can browse by broadcast packages, elements, infographics, logos, things they have titles and lower thirds. There’s also tons of royalty free background music and sound effects as well, which is super useful, especially when you’re editing videos where you just need to go in and find a sound effect to test out. There’s unlimited downloads with elements so you can test out as much as you want. And after your seven days free, if you would like to subscribe to elements, you can use my link below to get 70% off your first month. All right, thanks so much to Elements for sponsoring today’s video. And let’s jump back into the video to go to the effects panel and search for transform. And this is underneath the distort folder double click on Transform. So it’s applied to the first photo. So using the transform effect here, I’m going to animate the scale so it starts bigger and gets smaller. So let’s start the scale at 150.
Let’s type in 150 here next to scale. And then what we need to do is adjust the anchor point so we can click on this vertical anchor point and move it down. So that way it’s better in frame and then we can click on toggle animation. And then at the very end of this photo, we can then bring it back down to 100 and you’ll notice there’s a little black line at the bottom. We just need to adjust the anchor point slightly down so that disappears and control. Click on the last keyframe and choose is end. So that way it’s a bit more smooth of an animation. So what we can do now is copy this clip command C and then lasso and select all of the other clips and right click or control click and select paste attributes.
And this time we’re just going to paste the transform effects.
So the transform effect has now been pasted on all the other photos, and you’re going to see that a few of the photos we need to make adjustments on because the transform effect isn’t going to fit all the photos because they’re all different sizes and image resolutions. Do you see here on this photo we need to make adjustments, so let’s select it, go up to effect controls here and we can adjust the anchor point. So it’s a little bit lower. Somebody’s going to go through quickly and fix the anchor
