Project 4 - Epic Logo Animation

1st Version


2nd Version

3rd Version

I started this project by creating a logo on cooltext.com. I imported this image into a new project in Premiere Pro. I placed the image into the V1 section. I adjusted the Scale of it to my liking. From the Effects Tab, I added a Basic 3D effect to make the logo rotate like a 3D object. Furthermore, I adjusted the Rotation of the logo, to enhance the effect. After this, I added Lighting Effects, to create more depth to the animation. I then created an Adjustment Layer and a Black Video Layer and inserted them into the Sequence. This Adjustment Layer was used to create a Lens Flare Effect. Using this effect, I created a light that shined through the logo and moved across the screen. This was completed using Flare Center, Flare Brightness, and Lens Type attributes. To make the light more realistic, I duplicated the Adjustment Layers using Alt and dragging the layer into a section below. I added a Gaussian Blur to this layer, which made the light blend better into the background and appear less computer generated. I finally exported the Sequence as an Animated GIF, H.264 Movie, and YouTube 480p SD Video. Repeating the steps above I created the same animation with the Spotify Logo and Profile Picture. To add a green look to the Spotify Logo, I adjusted the Temperature and Tint of the image in the Colors Tab.

Project 3 - Cut to the Beat



To create this project, first I had to download a song from YouTube and import it into Premiere Pro. I placed this song into A1 and then used M to place markers for the beat. I had over a hundred markers for the video. Selecting all the files I used "Automate to Sequence..." to make the files change throughout the video to the beat. Once it automated, the images and videos changed according to the beat in the V1 section. I later added Cross Dissolve and Zoom effects to create transitions in the video. After, I created an intro with 10 images and a Title Graphic. I used attributes such as Scale, Position and Rotation to make the intro interesting. Finally, I added an ending, with some text that faded out and an image that faded to black.

Friday Post Oct 26, 2018

For this project, I started by importing my images into Premiere Pro. I selected the unsolved puzzle images and title image and dragged them into V1. I created a short intro with Zoom effects, through the scale attribute. I added a title on top of the images and then used various attributes including, Position, Scale, and Rotation, to create an interesting effect. After, I dragged all of my images into V2 and created a Zoom In and Zoom Out effect with Scale. I also created a Focus effect with the Gaussian Blur effect. I took the same images again and added them below as a background with a Zoom and Blur effect. Finally, I added music and trimmed it and added a fade to finish off the project.
