hey everyone Rc here and welcome back to gal today i’m going to be showing you six different before and Alight Motion that you can apply to your footage to create a beautiful transformation so if you’re an interior designer or let’s say a makeup artist or anybody that requires some sort of transformational reveal these effects will make your video look more dynamic
so i’m going to break down each effect inside of premiere pro but before we jump in i want to thank today’s sponsor motion can so motion can is the creator of my favorite graphics pack for Alight it’s just called graphics pack and you can purchase it from envato market you might also know it as video hive and the reason why i love it is that all of the motion graphics inside of the pack are nicely organized inside of a panel so you can just browse the different categories from kinetic titles transitions to different glitch elements and you can just click apply and it will apply to the timeline and sound effects are included as well and the best part is is that all of the graphics are responsive to whatever resolution that you’re working in and any duration time changes that you make so if you want to purchase the graphics pack you can use my affiliate link below and help support the channel and you can buy a version for Alight Motion and premiere or final cut pro without further ado the time codes are below
let’s go ahead and jump into premiere so for this demo i’m using footage from art grid and the reason why i love art grid is that you can download the raw original file so raw or log which is kind of a milky texture so you can color grade it how you want so for this i’m doing before and after the color grade so on video layer one it’s the clip the exact same clip but in the log format and then on top is the graded version if you’re interested in learning how to grade log footage you can click up here to watch my full tutorial so it’s important that they’re stacked on top of each other here because you want them to play at the exact same time because these are the same clips
so if you have a photo for example you’ll want to make sure that the framing is in the exact same framing so put the tripod in the same place press record or take a photo and then after the transformation put it in the exact same place and take a photo and have the same framing so that way these effects will look a lot better so there’s a little bit you have to do in production before you go into post all right so the wipe go up to effects search for wipe and down here underneath the wipe category you’ll find this wipe transition
we’re going to drag and drop it onto the clip here and now we’ll have this basic wipe and you’ll notice that it’s already started here in the beginning what we need to do is actually roll this in just slightly so that way you get the full effect and to make it longer you can click on the end of the transition and roll it out to make it a little bit slower of a wipe so i think that this works just fine but it’s kind of hard to see this line so to make it more obvious i like to go into effect controls make sure that you have the transition selected and i like to add a border width for this
i’m going to choose 15 and change the color to white so now we have our nice wipe reveal and it’s easy to see the wipe with this white border but what if you want it to loop so for example if you want to export this as a video or as a gif that you can embed on your website to show a before and after loop so what you can do is you can take this wipe transition copy it by pressing a command c or control c on a pc and then pasting it command v or control v and then we’re just going to roll in the end a little bit so there’s a little bit of the before clip at the end and now we need to reverse it by clicking on this reverse so if you’re a fan of missy elliott put your thing down flip it in reverse it it’s your flippin nipple planian my nails but it is a little slow
so i’m going to actually just shorten these clips a little bit here because it’s a little slow and i want the wipes to almost meet by extending them out so it’s almost like an immediate white back and forth and then here i’m going to press o as an out point and i’m going to make sure that the loop playback button is on so make sure it’s blue so this is what the loop looks like there we go so what you can do is you can just export this as an mp4 movie file and actually use an app called gifski that’s completely free and you can just drag that file and it creates a really fast gif you can also export a gif in premiere pro but it takes a little bit more work to try to find the right settings
so it’s not a huge file so i recommend using gifs key instead if you want to add before and after text as the wipe is happening this is what you can do you can select the text type tool here and here let’s just type out before and then i can duplicate this graphic so let’s roll it to meet the exact lenth
