How to Make Great Videos (Part 3) – Titles, Transitions & Overlays | Adobe Creative Cloud



In the third episode of this 6-part series, Principal Evangelist Jason Levine explains how to create animated titles with the new Essential Graphics Panel, both in Premiere Pro and After Effects, and how to create Motion Graphics templates which can be saved and shared via CC Libraries. He then walks you through some of the most common video transition effects, including a little Adobe Magic in the form of Morph Cut, which is particularly useful for eliminating abrupt movements (from jump cuts) in interview footage. Finally, he’ll cover working with overlays and how to leverage blend modes and mattes to add more polish and style to your videos.
