David LindgrenDid you know that you can find highlights from your recording while also adding captions, emojis AND B-roll to those highlights automatically inside Adobe Premiere Pro (and also adjust it afterwards)?
In this tutorial, I will show you exactly how easy you can do that.
First, you need to download a plugin called “Brevidy” from Brevidy.pro. Once you’ve done that and installed the plugin, open up Premiere Pro, go to Window, Extensions, and click Brevidy.
Here you get 2 options, “AutoCut” and “Captions” and we are going to click “AutoCut”. Inside “AutoCut”, you get full control over how you want your new video or videos to look like depending on your preferences. You can select what “aspect ratio” you want, the layout of the clips in your new video, you can select a caption style next to “Caption preset”, and next to “Transcription”, you can decide between speed or accuracy, and if you want to manually select the language or let Brevidy auto detect the language.
Finally, next to “Actions”, you can select exactly what edits you want to do to your new video. You can add emojis, add B-roll clips, remove silent parts automatically (and set the threshold for that), and also automatically suggest highlights from your clip, and this feature can save you a ton of time, especially if you are editing a longer interview or a podcast, so no need to watch through hours of footage, now Brevidy can find these clips for you.
Then, you click “Create”, and after a while, your new video or videos are created in separate sequences with every element as individual items.
From here, it is super easy to adjust the edits in the Brevidy window by removing or changing emojis, adjust the timing of them, readjusting the caption layout and font and you can even replace the B-roll clips with stickers, GIFs, or emojis.

#Brevidy #PremierePro #PremiereProTutorials #howtopremierepro3 bug fixes in Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-07-23 | Sometimes, Premiere Pro can act a bit strange, so here are 3 common bugs I’ve experienced when editing and how to fix them.
The first one happens inside the “Lumetri color” panel when you try to move a point in a curve and nothing happens. The solution here is to scroll inside that window until the whole graph is visible. Now, the mouse cursor icon will change when you hover over the point, indicating that you can adjust the point.
The second bug is when you are inside the “Timeline” window and you’re trying to increase the size of the “Subtitle” track at the top. You would think that you can just click and drag the edge of the track, like you do with any other track, but that won’t work. The solution here is to place the mouse cursor inside the track vertically and just to the left of the timeline, outside the actual track and then scroll up while holding down the “Shift” key.
Now, the track size will increase and to snap the track to the top of the "Timeline" panel, just resize that panel and then the position of that track will update, based on the new size.
The third bug is inside the “Effect Controls” window, when you have added the effect “Warp Stabilizer”. This can sometimes, for no reason, make the video look a bit “off”, and the simple solution here is to go up to the property “Motion” for that clip and add just 0,1 percent to the scale and then it looks normal again.
If you want more problem solving tutorials like this, I will link a specific playlist for that here at the end and to save even more time when editing, subscribe to the channel for hundreds of short tutorials just like this.

#AfterEffects #AdobeAfterEffects #AfterEffectsTutorials #HowToAfterEffectsBrevidy Media Browser - The ultimate tool for Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-07-20 | Imagine a plugin that could cut out the silent parts, create captions, add sounds effects and stock media and also animate that media without even leaving the software. This is now possible and I will show you how.
First, you download the tool Brevidy from Brevidy.pro (and you can follow the full installation process in my previous tutorial).
Then, once installed, you open Premiere Pro, go up to the menu, click Window, Extensions, and select “Brevidy” and “Brevidy Media Browser”.
Now you log in, in both panels, and you start with the “Brevidy” panel and the “AutoCut” tool. Adjust the settings and click “Create” at the bottom to automatically do a rough cut, remove silences, and add emojis or clips if you like.
After a while, you have an edit that is already good to go for social media, but we are going to customize it even more.
If you, for example, select one of the emojis that Brevidy has generated, it will show up in the “Brevidy Media Browser” window (not to be confused with “Media Browser”).
Here, if you select “Grid view” and “Play all previews” at the bottom, you can visually see a bunch of animations that you can add to your media clip.
Now, you can add an animation to the start, a constant animation, and an animation to the end and then simply click “Update” at the bottom to add it to your selected clip or gif.
After you’ve done that, you can add more media to the timeline by deselecting everything in the timeline, and then go back to the “Brevidy Media Browser” window and search for a word.
When you’ve found a clip that you want to add, select it, click “Continue” and add animations to the media, the same way as before, and then click “Insert”.
You can also add sound effects the same way. Search for a word, click “Audio”, select a sound effect, click “Continue”, and because it is audio, you can’t animate it, so just click “Insert”.
And if you want to try out Brevidy for free, you can get a 7 day free trial by using my link in the pinned comment below this video. I also have a playlist with more Brevidy tutorials that I will link here at the end.

#AdobePremierePro #BrevidyMediaBrowser #PremierePro #BrevidyExport faster in After EffectsDavid Lindgren2025-07-11 | If you want to export any After Effects project faster, here is a quick little tip you can apply in any project you work on.
First look at the layers you are not using (usually the layers that are hidden, unless you’re using it as a mask) and click the little “Shy”-button next to these layers. You know, the icon that looks like a little minion hiding behind a fence.
If you click that button, nothing happens initially, until you activate this by clicking the same button above the layers, and not the one just above the Shy-column but the one slightly above that, then, all the activated layers will get hidden from the Timeline window and speed up the export process and don’t forget to do this inside your pre-comps as well.
and to get the layers back, just click the same button again.
And to get more export tips, check the playlist that I will link here at the end and download my free motion graphic templates from the pinned comment below.

#AfterEffects #AdobeAfterEffects #AfterEffectsTutorials #ExportHow to make a grid pattern in After EffectsDavid Lindgren2025-07-02 | If you want to make a grid pattern or a pattern of squares in After Effects, this is how you can do that.
First, you need to create a new layer, for example a solid or a shape layer. Then, you go to the “Effects & Presets” window, search for the effect “Grid” and add that to the layer.
The color of the grid will be white by default, unless you change the “Blending Mode” in the effect to “Stencil Alpha” to take the color of the layer.
Then, to make the width and height of each square the same, change “Size from” to “Width Slider” and then adjust the Width to make the squares bigger or smaller.
And to convert this into a pattern of squares, simply increase the “Border” until it almost covers the whole screen and then select the checkbox “Invert Grid”.
And to make a circular pattern, check the video that I will link here at the end and download my free motion graphic templates in the comment section below.

#AfterEffects #AdobeAfterEffects #AfterEffectsTutorials #HowToAfterEffectsHow to make a carousel with imagesDavid Lindgren2025-06-18 | If you want to go create a rotating gallery like this, in Adobe After Effects, this is how easy you can achieve that.
First, create whatever shape you want, for example a rectangle with rounded corner and place that in the center of the composition window.
(First center the anchor point in the shape: Mac: ”Fn + opt + cmd + left arrow”) Then center the shape in the composition with: Mac: ”Fn + cmd + left” or find these options in the top menu under “Layer", "Transform”)
Once you are happy with the shape, we want to duplicate this layer by selecting it and clicking “cmd + D” (or “Ctrl + D” on PC) as many times as you like.
Now, you want to “Pre-compose” these “Shape Layers” individually by right-clicking on them, one-by-one, and clicking “Pre-compose”.
Now you can add an image in any of these layers by double-clicking on it to open it, dragging an image from the “Project” window into the “Timeline” window, clicking the keyboard shortcut “S” to adjust the scale of the image, and then click on the dropdown next to your image, under “Track Matte” and change to your “Shape Layer”.
Now you can go back to your main composition, add the effect “CC Light Sweep” to the “Shape Layer”-composition you just edited to add a bit of a light effect to your shape.
You can adjust “Width” and “Sweep Intensity” based on what you like.
Go through the same process with the other two layers, then right-click in the “Timeline”-window, go to “New” and select “Null object”.
This “Null object” is going to be used to rotate the images in the carousel. The next step is to select everything (except the background) and then click any of the checkboxes underneath 3D-layer so that you can adjust all of them in 3 directions.
Now, change the view in the “Composition” window to “Top” or “Custom View 1” if you want to visually see what’s going to happen in the next step. Then, select the “Null object”, click “P” to open the “Position” property and then click and drag the Z-value to the right to adjust the point, in 3D space, that your images are going to rotate around.
Now, if you click keyboard shortcut “R” to open the “Rotation” properties of the Null object, and then click-and-drag the Y-rotation, it rotates the way we want, but the images are not moving because they are not linked to the “Null object” yet.
So, link the first “Shape Layer”-composition to the “Null object” by clicking the dropdown next to that layer, under “Parent & Link” and select the “Null object”. NOW you want to rotate the “Null object” with 120 degrees in the “Y Rotation” property, which is one third of a full rotation.
Then, you want to link the next “Shape Layer”-composition the same way, and then move both of them another 120 degrees, by setting the Y rotation to 120+120.
(Or, if you are decent at math, you can just type in 240 right away)
And finally, you link the third layer.
Now when they are all linked, you can set a keyframe on the Y-rotation by clicking the stopwatch next to it, move the playhead and then adjust the value, and it will now rotate around the Null object.
And if you change the “View” back to “Default”, it looks like this.
And if you want a text to rotate around an object, check the video that I will link here on the screen, thanks for watching!

#AfterEffects #adobeaftereffects #aftereffectstutorials #HowToAfterEffectsMasks for beginners in Adobe After EffectsDavid Lindgren2025-06-15 | Animating text in Adobe After Effects can be complicated, so here are three simple ways of revealing text that anyone can create, using a shape layer and a mask.
Let’s start with the shape layer.
First, make sure you have no layer selected in the timeline window, by clicking on any empty space in that window, then go up to the “Shape tool”, click and hold on the “Shape tool” to see the different shape options and then select rectangle.
Now, draw a rectangle in the composition window, over the text, and end the rectangle just a tiny bit underneath the baseline of the text. Then move the playhead to the point where you want the text animation to stop (which is the current position) and then open the text layer, and go to “Transform” and click on the stopwatch next to position.
Now, move the playhead to where you want the animation to start, go back to “Position” and drag the Y-value to the right until you can see the whole text. Now the text moves into the shape.
The final step now is to go to the “Track Matte”-dropdown next to the “Text Layer” and change from “No Matte” to your “Shape Layer” and it vill now slide the text up and become visible when inside the area of the shape layer.
To move the shape instead of the text, just do the same thing with the “Position”-value in the “Shape Layer”. Click the stopwatch where you want it to end, move the playhead to where you want it to start, and drag the Y-value to the right until the whole text is hidden.
You can also achieve this revealing effect by only using one layer. You do this by selecting the text layer, creating a rectangle to cover the text (and because you selected the layer first it will now create a mask inside that layer),
then you open the mask, click the stopwatch next to “Mask Path”, move the playhead back, go back to the composition window, change to the select tool by clicking V on your keyboard, and then drag any of the corners down while holding the “Shift”-key,
and now you have created the same effect using a mask instead of a “Shape layer”. For 9 more animations like this, check the video that I will link here at the end. Thanks for watching!

#AfterEffects #howtoaftereffects #AfterEffectsTutorials #LearnAfterEffectsHow to make rotating text in After EffectsDavid Lindgren2025-06-09 | How do you rotate a text around a circle or an object in Adobe After Effects? Well let’s find out!
First, to rotate a text around a circle, select your text in the timeline window and create a circle in the “Composition” window using the “Shape tool”.
Doing this while having the text selected will create a mask inside your text layer and if you don’t have the text selected, it will create a shape in a separate layer instead.
Now, in the text layer, go to “Text”, “Path Options”, and change “Path” to the Mask you just created to place the text on the inside of the circle.
To move the text to the outside of the circle, simply click on the text “Off” next to “Reverse Path” so it says “On” instead.
Then, to wrap the text around the whole circle, click on the text “Off” next to “Force Alignment”.
And if you want to adjust the gap between the characters, you can just switch to the “Type tool” and type in the same word again in the same text layer, and then go back to the text layer and click and drag the number next to “First margin” to adjust the gap between the first and the last character.
Now, to make the text rotate, go “Transform” at the bottom of the “Text layer” and click the stopwatch next to “Rotation” to set a starting keyframe and then move the playhead to the end of the composition and change the value to add a second keyframe.
To make a text rotate around an object i 3D space, start by adding the effect “CC Cylinder” to the text.
Then, inside that effect, go to “Rotation” and change “Rotation X” to match the angle of the object you want it to rotate around.
The color of the text will get a bit of a “shade” when you add this effect, to “sell” the effect even more, but if you want to remove the “Shading”, just go to “Shading” (underneath “Rotation”) and change “Ambient” to 100.
Then, go down to “Transform” and change “Scale” to adjust the size of the text and if the text doesn’t go all the way around the object now, just type the word again in the same layer to “fill out” the circle.
To rotate this text, add keyframes to the “Rotation Y” property at the start and end of the composition.
And finally, to place your object in the middle of this text, duplicate the “Text layer”, place your object or image between the two text layers in the “Timeline” window and then select the “Text layer” above the object, go to the “CC Cylinder” effect inside that layer and change the “Render” to “Outside”.

#AfterEffects #RotateText #HowToAfterEffects #AfterEffectsTutorialsMost content creators get productivity wrong (use this framework instad)David Lindgren2025-06-04 | Most content creators get productivity wrong... ❌
Being productive is NOT the same as being effective.
Just because you're doing things doesn't mean you're making progress.
Productivity is about aligning your actions with a clear direction. 🎯
That's why I use something I call the "PRO" Framework. (Position, Repeat, Optimize)
Let's break it down:
1️⃣ Position. Define your niche and direction. It doesn’t have to be ultra-specific, but you do need clarity. Where are you going?
2️⃣ Repeat Systematize your process. Content creation is about repetition. Without a system, consistency will most likely break down over time.
3️⃣ Optimize Once you have direction and systems, you can start tweaking, improving, and scaling. This is where you turn linear growth into exponential growth, which is necessary to move faster and increase your chances of reaching your goal.
I've built my program "Streamlined Creator" around this exact framework. Want help setting up your own PRO roadmap? Drop a comment or DM me “PRO” and I’ll send you more details!
PS. This is the FIRST of many videos I will share weekly from now on. I will cover topics such as content creation, productivity, mindset, personal development, and solopreneurship. My goal is to slowly improve every part of this (graphics, editing, sound design, "on camera"-presence etc) following the PRO framework, of course 😉

#Productivity #productive #productivitysecrets4 ways to add effects in Adobe Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-06-03 | Did you know that there are 4 different ways to add effects to your clip in Adobe Premiere Pro (and if you stick to the end I will give you a time-saving tip about the last one that you probably didn’t know about).
Let’s dive in and start with the most obvious one:
Open the “Effects” window, click and drag the effect you want to the timeline and drop it onto the clip. The second way is to select the clip in the timeline and then drag the effect into the “Effect Controls” window. The third way is to select the clip again, and then simply double-click on the effect you want to add. The fourth way is to use something called an “adjustment layer”, and this is where I will show you a little bonus tip. First, you go to the “Project” window and click “New item” at the bottom and select “Adjustment layer”. Now, if you would add the “Adjustment layer” to the timeline and apply the effect there, it will affect all the clips underneath that layer but…
it will only add the effect to THAT “Adjustment layer” in the timeline and not the one in the “Project” window, so instead,
drag the effect onto the layer in the “Project” window and then maybe rename it so you know what effect you added. This way you can create a list with effects that you can sort in folders and then drag-and-drop the ones you want into the timeline whenever you need them.
(You can also add multiple effects to the same Adjustment layer)

#AdobePremierePro #PremiereProTutorials #HowToPremierePro #HowToAdobePremiereInsert images faster into Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-05-27 | What if you could take any image from the internet and move it straight into Adobe Premiere Pro without having to save it first. Well, now you can, and I will show you how.
First, go to the website Brevidy.pro who btw have great time-saving tools that I’ve done separate tutorials about that I will link at the end, but we are going to click on the text “Copy Pasta” in the top menu.
Here, you can download a tool, completely for free, no trials or hidden costs, and then you just follow the steps that will pop up once you click “Download” and then you can find the tool inside Premiere Pro by going up to the menu and clicking Window → Extensions → Copy Pasta.
And all you have to do now, is to copy any image from the internet, and then go to Premiere Pro and click “Paste” inside the “Copy Pasta” window. But also, you can click “Copy”, which (compared to Cmd + C) will export the current frame, in the Program window, to your clipboard which can be helpful when you for example are creating thumbnails, because now you can head over to another software, like Photoshop, and click paste to paste that frame directly into Photoshop.
And to streamline your workflow even more, check out my other Brevidy tutorials that I will link here at the end. Thanks for watching!

#Timesavingtips #PremierePro #AdobePremiereTutorials #HowToPremiereProEasiest way to start a project in Adobe Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-05-19 | Creating a new project in Adobe Premiere Pro can be a long and time-consuming step with a lot of decisions having to be made. But with the new “new project” window, it is easier than ever.
This is how you do it: Open up Premiere Pro. Click “New project” to the left and see this new much simpler window pop up. Name the project, select location, set template to “None” and select the “Skip import mode” and then click “OK”.
Now, you get straight to the “Edit” layout in Premiere Pro and can start editing. Here you can either click the new “Import media”-button that is visible in the “Project” window IF you don’t have any files there, or you can simply drag a file from outside Premiere Pro and drop it into the “Project” window.
(The “import media”-button will disappear after importing any footage, but you can still open the import window by clicking ”Cmd + I” on Mac or "Ctrl + I" on PC. You can also import through the menu by going to "File" and "Import".)
Now drag that file from the “Project” window into the “Timeline” window and it will create a new sequence based on the same framerate and dimensions as the file.
Another tip when setting up your project that will save you a lot of time is how to organize the files in your project folder, which I’ve done a separate tutorial about that I will link here at the end. Thanks for watching!

#HowToPremierePro #PremiereProTutorials #VideoEditingTutorials #HowToAdobePremiereHow to align audio perfectly in Adobe Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-05-11 | If you are trying to align audio in Adobe Premiere Pro, but it doesn’t seem to work, here’s a quick tip that you can try to align the audio peaks perfectly.
First, you can do this automatically by synchronizing the clips, which I’ve done a separate tutorial about that I will link at the end, but that might not work unless you this following step first.
So the thing you want to do is to go to the “Timeline” window (and here you can zoom in on the end of a clip as much as you can to make this visually clear). Now, if you try to move the clip slightly, it will snap to the closest frame.
In order to be even more precise than this, you can right-click just above the timeline and then click “Show Audio Time Units” and now, you can zoom in even more, and move the clip very precisely.

#PremiereProTutorials #PremierePro #AudioTutorials #HowToPremiereProHow to change the screen recording to correct framerateDavid Lindgren2025-05-04 | If you have the wrong framerate on your video or screenrecording, which you can see by dragging and dropping it into the app “Media info”, you can change this easily and I will show you how.
First, you download the free tool “Handbrake”, available for both Mac and PC, then you open that program and drag-and-drop your video into that window or by clicking “Open Source” at the top left to browse for it.
Now, after loading the footage, you can select a “Preset” in the “Preset dropdown” or enter your own settings and then (if you want to save those settings), click “Save New Preset”.
I usually just go to “Dimensions” and change “Cropping” to 0 on all sides, to get the same dimensions as the original footage, then I go to “Audio” and select audio source (if I want to keep the audio), and finally i click the tab “Video”, change the framerate to whatever I want and select “Constant Framerate” underneath.
Then I select how much I want to compress it with the slider, where I want to save it with the “Browse”-button at the bottom, and then click “Start”.
And if I want to create a list with videos, before I click start, I click “Add to Queue” and then I go through the whole process again and then I click “Start”.
And if you want to learn how you then can import your footage, including the folder structure, into Premiere Pro, check this video that I will link here at the end.

#HandBrake #CompressVideo #HowToChangeFrameRate #HowToConvertVideoHow to do screen recording on Mac in high qualityDavid Lindgren2025-04-27 | How do you get that crisp quality in your screen recordings, so that you can zoom in on sections without it looking blurry or pixelated, just like I’m doing in the top left section of these tutorials?
What I do is that I use QuickTime for my screen recordings but before you start you want to go up to the menu and change your screen resolution by clicking on the Apple icon and “System settings”.
Here, you go down to “Displays”, select the screen that you want to use, and the higher the number, the higher the resolution is.
Now, open “QuickTime”, go up to the menu and click “File”, “New Screen recording”, select “Record entire screen” and then click “Options” and select “Desktop” under “Save to”.
Once you are done, you just click the “Stop”-icon at the top right of your screen and it will save the video to your desktop.
The only issue here is that it records in a variable framerate, meaning that it could look a bit “choppy” when importing it into your editing software, but that can be easily fixed with a free tool called “Handbrake” which I will show you how to use in the next tutorial. Thanks for watching!

#QuickTime #Screenrecorder #Screenrecording #RecordScreenDesk Setup Upgrade - Part 3David Lindgren2025-04-20 | After moving my desk setup upstairs and ordering a custom made worktop, my new base was ready and now it was time to make it cozy and functional.
First, I threw the temporary carpet out and got an actual office carpet. It already looks better. Then, I added a desk pad for the keyboard and touchpad and now I could finally mount my microphone arm again, that had been laying around in the basement since the house move last year because It wasn’t possible to mount it on the previous desk.
Once I got the microphone in place, It was time to set up my new LED light which I was really excited about. I decided to go with the Elgato Key Light, because It had the option to control it from the Stream deck which I love.
Lastly, I unpacked my new book “The Art of Focus” by Dan Koe and speaking of focus, now it’s time to get to work so that I can afford to continue updating this desk setup. Because this is just the beginning.

#desksetup #desksetupupgrade #homedesksetup #videoeditingsetupHow to stop After Effects from auto-creating compositionsDavid Lindgren2025-04-13 | If you want to stop Adobe After Effects from creating a new composition whenever you import a video file, this is how easy you can do that.
Right-click in the Project window inside After Effects, go to “Import” and “File” (or click keyboard shortcut “Cmd + I” or “Ctrl + I” on PC).
Then, after selecting your video file, click the button “Show options” at the bottom left (unless your options are already visible), and then unselect “Create composition” in the middle and then click “Open”.
…Or, you can just drag-and-drop the footage straight into your project window but either way, I would first place the footage in the same folder as the project file, because otherwise you might break the “File path” and having to relink the footage whenever you move the project folder.
…and if you want to learn more about the best way to set up your project folder, which can be really helpful even for experienced users, I will link my tutorial about that here at the end.

#AfterEffects #AdobeAfterEffects #AfterEffectsTutorials #HowToAfterEffects9 easy animations in Adobe After EffectsDavid Lindgren2025-04-06 | If you want to learn how you can animate words like this, this is how you can do it.
So, first of all, these are just 9 random examples but you can do this with any word and the easiest way to come up with animation ideas it to simply use verbs and then let the word itself be the idea for what animation to do and the other thing is to use capital letters so that all characters are the same height.
Now, for the word “Hide”, I created a mask around the word, selected “Add” in the dropdown, added a “Position”-property to the text, then made the “Y-value” change over time using keyframes.
(I added a Position-property above text because so it is applies before the mask. If I use the Position property inside “Transform” it will apply the movement on both the text and the mask.)
For the word “Show”, I’ve done the exact same thing except that the starting position is outside of the mask and the word moves up and into the mask.
For the word “Join”, I created three shapes that I placed on top of the word, in the same color as the word, and then added a mask to each shape and animated the mask path to reveal the shapes from left to right.
For the word “Grow”, I moved the “Anchor Point” to the bottom left corner of the word and changed the “Scale” property, with keyframes, so it grows up and to the right.
For the word “Wait”, I wanted to make it look like it’s blinking by showing one character at a time, kinda like it’s loading, so I did this by creating the mask over the word and then changing the mask path, with keyframes, with the same time gap between each keyframe and then to stop it from animating, I selected all the keyframes, right-clicked (on one them), and selected “Toggle Hold Keyframe”.
For the word “Zoom”, I moved the “Anchor Point” to the middle of the word, and animated the size of the word using two keyframes in the “Scale” property.
For the word “Slide”, I simply changed the X-value in the “Position” property. Simple as that.
For the word “Share”, I created a mask over the top half of the word and selected “Add” in the dropdown next to it. Then I copied that layer, including the mask, changed to “Subtract” next to Mask in that second layer, then went back to the first layer and animated that using the “Position” property under “Transform” to affect both the Mask and the text.
And finally for the word “Turn”, I clicked the little box under “3D Layer” to activate even more properties (for example three ways of rotating the layer, instead of just one) and then I changed the “Y Rotation” from 0 to 180 to so it turns half way around.
(To change it in the other direction, change the second value from “180” to “-180”.)

#AfterEffects #HowToAfterEffects #AfterEffectsTutorials #adobeaftereffectsHow to scale a shape in any direction in After EffectsDavid Lindgren2025-03-30 | If you want to scale or resize a shape in only one direction in Adobe After Effects, for example left, up, right, down, this is how you can do that.
First, you want to open your Shape layer, go to “Contents”, “Rectangle”, “Rectangle Path” (or “Ellipse” and “Ellipse Path” if it is a circle) and then unselect “Constrain proportions” next to “Size” to resize the height and width individually.
If you go to “Transform” and “Scale”, it will resize the whole shape, including the stroke, and that is why we are using the “Size” property instead.
Now, to resize the shape in only one direction, hold down “option/alt” while clicking on the stopwatch next to “Anchor Point” (under Transform). Here you want to paste the expression that you can find in the video description underneath this video, just make sure to put the name of your shape in the first parentheses and the name of your shape path in the second parentheses.
Now, when you resize the the width and height with the “Size”-property, it will only resize in one direction.
To do this in the opposite direction, just do the same thing but instead of dividing the width and height in “2” in your expression, divide it in “-2” and now it will grow in the opposite direction.
And if you want to move the stroke of this shape to the outside or inside of the shape, check the tutorial that I will link here at the end and don’t forget to subscribe.

#AdobeAfterEffects #AfterEffects #aftereffectstutorials #HowToAfterEffectsDesk Setup Upgrade - Part 2David Lindgren2025-03-23 | Today I opened my biggest package ever! But let’s rewind a bit first.
Some weeks ago I moved my desk setup from downstairs to upstairs. But after putting it in place and going to UK for a couple of days, I came home to this.
I first thought my fiancée removed everything but then I found it and now it was time to open my biggest package ever and continue building on my dream desk setup.
(Not that one, but this one.)
It’s a beautiful custom made worktop that’s actually suppose to be for a kitchen but I will use it as a table top for my desk, but first I need to measure the height and width of everything to evenly distribute the weight on my office cabinets so the table top doesn’t sink down in the middle but also to access the outlets on the sides so that I don’t have to use an extension cord across the room. This is how it turned out and in the next video, the fun part begins.

#desksetup #desksetupupgrade #contentcreatorsetup #videoeditorsetupHow to move the stroke to the inside or outside in After EffectsDavid Lindgren2025-03-19 | If you have a stroke around your shape in Adobe After Effects that you want to have on the inside or outside of your shape instead of having it centered on the border, here are two ways of doing that.
The first method is to open your shape layer in the timeline, then open “Contents” and “Rectangle” (or whatever shape you have created). Then select “Rectangle”, click “Add” next to “Contents” and select “Offset Paths”. This will add the effect to this specific shape instead of the whole layer.
Now, under “Rectangle”, open “Stroke” and check the number next to “Stroke width”. Then open “Offset Paths” and type in that number next to “Amount” AND add “slash two” at the end and then hit enter.
This will automatically calculate the stroke width divided in two and then offset the stroke with that amount, making it appear to be on the outside of your shape.
To place it on the inside, just simply add a minus sign infront of the number next to “Amount”, however, every time you change “Stroke width”, you need to change the “Amount” again manually, but this leads me to method 2.
The second method is to drag the “pick whip” icon next to “Amount”, down to “Stroke width” so that the number turns red (indicating that the amount changes based on another value, in this case “Stroke Width”).
Now open “Amount” and do the same thing as in method 1, add “slash 2” at the end of the textbox (or “expression box”) to place it on the outside and click outside that textbox to save it and now the “Amount”-value is automatically changing based on the “Stroke Width”.
And to place the stroke on the inside of the shape, type in “slash minus 2” instead.

#AfterEffects #AdobeAfterEffects #AfterEffectsTutorials #HowToAfterEffectsDesk Setup Upgrade - Part 1David Lindgren2025-03-16 | After 9 months in our new house, it was finally time to leave my temporary desk setup downstairs, and create a more permanent solution upstairs.
First I ordered 2 office cabinets from IKEA, for increased storage space. I haven’t yet decided if I want them far away from each other or closer, what do you think? But for now, they have to be further apart so that I can fit the current desk in the middle.
Now I just have to carry up everything else and plug in all the cables and we have the 1.0 version of the new desk setup ready.

#DeskSetup #DeskSetupUpgrade #EditingSetupHow to make glow effect in Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-03-06 | If you want a text in your video inside Adobe Premiere Pro to look like a neon sign, this is how easy you can achieve that.
First, you select a font that you want, preferably a big bold font. Remove the “Fill” color and add a “Stroke”. Then add a “Shadow” and set the shadow to the color you want, preferably something vibrant to really sell the neon effect. Now, to make this look like a light and not just a shadow, change the distance to 0, set the blur to something around 40 (or whatever you prefer), and then change the stroke to “Center”.
Now you can adjust the “strength” of this effect by increasing or decreasing the “Size” value.
And if you want to learn more tips on how to design your text, check the videos that I will link here at the end of this video.

#PremiereProShorts #AdobePremierePro #PremiereProTutorials #BrevidyHow to make big captions word by wordDavid Lindgren2025-02-23 | Instead of basic boring captions, you can make your text grab more attention by making them appear word by word. This is how you can do it inside Adobe Premiere Pro.
First, you create separate layers for each word or each row with text. Then, have them appear one by one but end at the same time. Just use your creativity when designing these blocks of text, but some tips could be to use bold text, capital letters, decrease the tracking, and to use contrasting fonts and sizes.
You can also overlap your words or place them close to each other, but in order to do that, make sure to add a stroke or a shadow (or both) so that the text is still readable. Also, if you want to have a certain word in the front, just move the layer with that word up to the top inside the timeline window.
And if you want to learn how you can make your text look like a neon sign, check next weeks tutorial that I will link at the end of this video, once it is created and uploaded.

#PremiereProShorts #PremiereProTips #AutomatedEditing #VideoEditingHow to fix error retrieving frame when exportingDavid Lindgren2025-02-16 | If you have problems exporting from Adobe Premiere Pro to Media Encoder and it says “error retrieving frame” when hovering over the “Status-column”, here are 6 solutions that you can try.
First, you can wait a bit with exporting after opening Premiere Pro, to load all the footage and also wait with closing Premiere Pro until you have started the export inside Media Encoder.
Second, you can change the export to the same frame rate as the original files used in the sequence.
Third, you can relink the footage by turning the source media "offline" and then "online" again.
Fourth, you can go to “Settings” and clear your cache inside Adobe Premiere Pro.
Fifth is to export directly in Premiere Pro instead of using Media Encoder,
And finally, number six, you can try changing the frame rate of the sequence to match the original footage.
Hopefully, one of these solutions will work, feel free to subscribe for hundreds of short tutorials just like this one. Have a nice day!

#MediaEncoder #PremierePro #Tutorials #HowToPremiereProHow to add animated emojis inside Adobe Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-02-09 | If you want to add captions and emojis automatically inside Adobe Premiere Pro, there is a great tool for that which I will show you in this short tutorial.
You start by downloading a plugin called “Brevidy” from “Brevidy.pro” and install that. Then, inside Premiere Pro, you go up to the menu, click Windows, Extensions, and Brevidy.
Here you want to select the tool Captions and the first thing you do, after selecting what part of your video you want to transcribe, is to simply click “Create”.
Brevidy will transcribe your selected area and from here you can customize it just the way you want and this is the part I really like with Brevidy.
First, you can change the style of the text by clicking “Style” at the top left of the “Brevidy” window, and here you can adjust the position, padding, scale, background, font, highlighted text and much more.
But then, if you go to the “Paragraph” tool you can also adjust the amount of lines and characters per line and it will automatically update in the program window. This is, in my opinion, way more user friendly and time-saving than the built in transcription tool inside Premiere.
Another user friendly detail is that if you go back to the “Style” window inside Brevidy and select “Highlight Text”, you can now simply click on any words that you want to highlight or click “suggest highlights” under the “Highlight” tool to do that automatically.
And if you want to add emojis (or clips), just go to the “Media” tool, click “Suggest Clips” or “Suggest emojis”, adjust the length of the emojis by dragging the edge of the underline and then click “Import Pending” to add them all to your video.
A final thing is that you can add stock media manually to a certain section by just clicking and dragging over a block of text. And then you can adjust the timing of that clip the same way as for the emojis.

#Brevidy #PremierePro #PremiereProTutorials #HowToPremiereProThe best file structure for video editingDavid Lindgren2025-02-02 | What is the best file structure (or project folder setup) for video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro (or any other software)? I have a setup that I’ve followed for many years and it all comes down to 4 simple folders.
The inspiration came from a combination of resources, but particularly the “PARA-method” by Tiago Forte and the book “Getting Things Done” by David Allen.
The “PARA-method” stands for “Projects”, “Areas”, “Resources”, “Archive” and that is the top folder structure for my external harddrive, but my “video project folder” is slightly different.
It also consists of four folders but the folder names are “Footage”, “Projects”, “Assets”, and “Export”. The purpose of the numbers in the beginning are just to keep the folders in the right order and you will soon understand why.
You start by placing your footage in the top folder (and that is new footage for that specific project), your project files goes into the second folder (like the video project but also the thumbnail document), your recurring assets are placed in the third one (like sound effects, graphics, still images etc) and finally, in the fourth folder, you place the final exported video, the finished script file and the thumbnail.
This way, you work your way down, from the top to the bottom, and you can keep organizing your files as much as you want by creating new subfolders but your four main folders are always the same.
By organizing your project this way, you won’t mix up your exports with your footage and when you want to create a new project, you can just copy the whole project folder and empty folder 1 and 4 to keep your project files and your assets from the previous project.
I hope this was helpful, let me know in the comment section below if you want this explained in more detail and subscribe for more time-saving tutorials like this.

#FolderStructure #PremierePro #Tutorials #HowToHow to import subtitles into Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-01-26 | If you have a captions file, so a file that ends with SRT, and you want to import that into Adobe Premiere Pro, it is very easy to do.
First, if you have captions that you want to export into an SRT-file from Premiere Pro, you can check the video that I will link at the end, but if you want to import it, you simply drag and drop the file into the “Project” window inside Premiere Pro and from there,
you drag and drop it from the “Project” window, down to the timeline.
Here, you select what to align your subtitles to, the source timecode, the playhead position, or the timeline start, and then click “OK”.
Now, it will place it on the new subtitle track and you can align it with your previous text if it is out of sync.
…Or you can use a tool like “subshifter” before you import the file.

#premierprotutorial #PremierePro #Tutorials #HowToHow to export a text in Adobe Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2025-01-12 | If you want to export your captions or subtitles in Adobe Premiere Pro, maybe to send it to a client or to upload it to a YouTube video, you can do that pretty easily inside Premiere Pro.
After transcribing your video in the “Text” window, you have the text ready but not the timestamps, so then you want to go to “Actions” (inside that same window) and click “Create captions”.
This will take you to the “Captions”-tab inside the same window and here you can simply click “Actions”, “Export”, “Export to SRT-file” and if you then open that file in a text editor, you can see the text and the timestamps for those captions,
and if you want to learn how you can import this SRT-file again after editing the text, I will make a separate tutorial about that, which I will link at the end together with another text-tutorial. Thanks for watching!

#SRT #PremierePro #Tutorials #HowToDont go viral (what to do instead)David Lindgren2025-01-05 | Trying to grow your YouTube channel by going viral is not a good strategy. In fact, I wouldn't even call it a strategy, I would call it luck.
A "viral" video is by definition a video that gets way more views than the norm. So you can't really plan a viral video, because if all your videos went viral, that would be your new standard and it wouldn't be considered "viral".
A better strategy is to decide on a niche, a format, and commit to a realistic publishing schedule you can follow. That way, you know roughly how long it takes to create a video, when your deadline is and what type of result that you can expect. This way, you can collect data over time and reverse-engineer what you need to do in order to reach your goal.
A strategy like this also helps you find patterns of what works and what doesn't and you can way more easily see what changes affect the outcome (instead of just making random videos and hoping for the best).

#YouTube #YouTubeStrategy #YouTubeTips #GrowOnYouTubeHow to fix no audio on track 3 and 4David Lindgren2024-12-29 | If your audio doesn’t work in Adobe Premiere Pro when placing it on track 3 or 4, it might have to do with the type of sequence that you have. This can be annoying and difficult to figure out, but the solution is actually really simple.
First, you probably have something called a “multichannel sequence” which you can tell by looking in the “Project” window under “Audio info”.
To fix this, you can either create a new sequence where the “Mix Track Type” is “Stereo” (so basically anything except the “Broadcast”-presets)
…or, you can go up to “Window” and “Audio Track Mixer” (so not Audio Clip Mixer) and change the “Track Output Channel” (for tracks 3 and 4) to 1-2 instead of 3-4, and now it should work.
And if this didn’t help, I will link some more audio tutorials at the end, and don’t forget to subscribe if you want more quick tutorials like this.

#premiereprotutorial #PremierePro #Tutorials #HowToBest time to post on YouTubeDavid Lindgren2024-12-22 | When is the best time to post on YouTube? If you look into your Analytics in YouTube Studio you can find helpful information to learn more about this.
Under the tab "Analytics" you can see when most of your audience is active, and if you can time the posting of your videos to that, you can get a good initial boost on your new uploads which can increase reach and views for your videos.
My recommendation is that you publish roughly 2 hours before the time that TubeBuddy suggests. This is because it helps you take advantage of the full "peak" where your audience is the most active.

#YouTube #YouTubeTutorials #HowToYouTubeHow to fix no sound playing in Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2024-12-08 | If you can’t hear the sound playing from Premiere Pro in one or two of your speakers, here are some solutions that you can try.
In this example, we have two different audio files, one with “Stereo” sound, so two different audio tracks, and one with “Mono” sound where you only have one audio track.
In both cases, you should see two meters moving in the Audio meters window and if you don’t, make sure that both channels have the “Solo”-option unselected at the bottom.
Next, go up to menu, click Premiere Pro, Settings, and “Audio Hardware”. Check what it says next to “Default Output” and make sure this audio output is turned out.
Now go to the timeline window and make sure that no audio channel is muted by unselecting “M” and “S” on all the audio tracks.
Finally, if you have tried all of these things, go up to the menu again, click “Window” and “Audio Track Mixer” and select your specific sequence. Make sure that all channels are playing your audio in both speakers by changing the values at the top to 0 on all channels.
And finally, if you have a “multi channel sequence” like this, set the “Track output” to 1-2 on all your audio tracks and now it should work.

#YouTube #YouTubeAnalytics #LearnYouTubeHow to edit images in Adobe Premiere using PhotoshopDavid Lindgren2024-11-24 | If you have an image or illustration in Adobe Premiere Pro that you want to edit inside the program, you can do this without having to export it and import it again and this is how you do it.
In this example we have 2 photos of me, one is a Photoshop-file and one is a Jpg. If we right-click on the Jpg-file and click “Edit Original”, it will open it in the program “Preview” on Mac (and something similar on PC). However, if you instead click “Edit in Adobe Photoshop”, it will open the jpg inside Photoshop and this is where it gets interesting.
As you can see, this is just a flat file with one layer, because it is a jpg. But if you instead right-click on the Photoshop file inside Premiere Pro and click “Edit Original”, you open the Photoshop file with all the different layers and effects that you might have saved in there.
Now, you can simply turn on certain layers, click “Cmd + S” to save, go back to Premiere Pro and it will update the Photoshop-file inside Premiere Pro and the big benefit with THIS workflow is that if you don’t like the change, you can just go back to Photoshop and hide the layer again and click “Cmd + S” to save and now it is updated inside Premiere Pro again.

#PremiereProTips #PremierePro #Tutorials #HowToPremiereProHow to zoom in exactly where you want in Premiere ProDavid Lindgren2024-11-17 | If you want to zoom in exactly where you want in Adobe Premiere Pro, there are two ways of doing it, depending on what you mean with “zoom in”.
First, if you only want to zoom in the “preview” for when you are editing the project (so not the actual video), you can of course change the “Zoom level” at the bottom of the “Project” window but if you have Premiere Pro 25.0 or newer (and I’ve done a separate video about the updates in that version that I will link at the end) you can actually place the mouse cursor wherever you want inside the “Program” window and scroll and now it will zoom in to that specific point in small increments.
Previously, it was always zooming into the middle by default.
Or, if you want the actual video to zoom to a specific point in your edit, you select that clip in the “Timeline” window, go to the “Effect Controls” window, click “Anchor Point” and move the little circle in the middle of the “Program” window to where you want to zoom in,
then you create a starting keyframe by clicking the little stopwatch icon next to “Scale”, move the playhead forward, and then increase the number next to “Scale” to create a second keyframe.
Now when you play it, it will zoom in to that specific point.

#PremiereProTutorial #PremierePro #Tutorials #HowToHow to turn Premiere Pro whiteDavid Lindgren2024-11-10 | Did you know that you can turn the Premiere Pro interface completely white?
This is how easy you can do it. You start by going up to the menu, clicking “Premiere Pro” and “About Premiere Pro” to see what version you are using.
It has to be version 25.0 or newer (and that version comes with a lot of great updates that I’ve done a separate video about that I will link at the end) so update the software if it is older.
Then go to “Premiere Pro” again, down to “Settings” and “Appearance”. Here you change the theme to the one called “Light” and if you want to increase the contrast of the buttons you can click the switch underneath and then OK.
And like I said, the 25.0 version has a lot of great updates so check the video I will link on the screen, about those updates, and subscribe for more quick tutorials just like this one. Have a nice day!

#PremiereProUpdates #PremierePro #Tutorials #HowToHow to make a circle out of circles in After EffectsDavid Lindgren2024-10-27 | If you want to create a circle out of circles in Adobe After Effects, you can do that pretty easily with an effect called “Repeater”.
The first thing you do is to create a “Shape Layer” in your composition, then open that up and click “Add” and “Ellipse”.
I’m going to add a “Fill” as well so that I can change the color easily.
Now, select “Contents”, click “Add” and “Repeater”. Then, under ”Repeater”, change “Copies” to the amount of circles that you want, and then under “Transform”, change Position to 0 and 0.
Now you want to hold down the “option”-key (or “alt” on PC) while clicking on the stopwatch icon next to “Rotation”. Type in 360, slash, and then instead of typing in the amount of copies, click and drag the “pick whip”-icon next to “Rotation” up to the text “Copies”.
This gives you the option to change the number of copies later and have the expression updating the distribution of the circles automatically.
Now go up to “Ellipse Path” and next to “Position”, change the Y-value (which is the second value) and your circle with circles is ready and you can change the number of copies as you like.

#AfterEffects #HowToAfterEffects #Tutorials #HowToHow to edit to the beat in After EffectsDavid Lindgren2024-10-20 | Did you know that you can make items dance to the beat automatically inside Adobe After Effects?
Well, in this video I’m going to show you 2 different examples of what I mean and how you can use this in your edits.
First, you right click on your song inside the timeline window, go to “Keyframe Assistant” and click ”Convert Audio to Keyframes”.
This will create a new layer in your composition called “Audio Amplitude”. Select that layer and click “U” to see all the keyframes for that layer.
Now open your shape layer, select any property that you want and then click and drag the little pick whip icon next to that property (the one looks like a little cinnamon bun) and drop it on the text “Slider” under the text “Both channels”.
Now if you open up your property and type in “value+” at the beginning of the second row, the size goes back to normal and the shape is now dancing to the beat, like this:
But you can also do this with an image, where I’m taking a super dramatic coffee break because I’m slowly scaling up the image but also changing the “Opacity”-property based on the audio, so it look and sounds like this:

#AfterEffects #VideoEditing #HowToAfterEffects #HowToHow to cut out shape in Adobe After EffectsDavid Lindgren2024-10-13 | If you want to cut out something from a shape inside Adobe After Effects, using another shape, there is a quick and easy way to do that, which I will show you in this tutorial.
First, you want to create 2 shapes inside the same “Shape Layer”. You do that by selecting the first shape (or the layer with the shape inside) and then creating a new shape with the shape tool. This will automatically place your new shape inside the same “Shape Layer”.
(If you want to create a NEW shape layer, you need to unselect every layer first)
Now, click “Contents” inside your “Shape Layer” and then click “Add” right next to it. Here, you want to select “Merge Paths” and this will create 3 new layers under your shapes.
Open the first one and change “Mode” to “Subtract” to subtract any shape from the shape at the top in that layer, and now the settings under the layers “Stroke” and “Fill” will affect the remaining area.
And if you want to invert the subtraction, simply change the order of you shapes.

#AfterEffects #aftereffectstutorial #Tutorials #HowToHow to play After Effects composition in right speedDavid Lindgren2024-10-06 | When editing anything in Adobe After Effects, you want the exported video clip or animation to play at the same speed as inside the editing software, but that is not always the case.
What you do to prevent this issue is to right-click on your composition (either in the timeline window or in the project window) and click “Composition Settings”.
Here, you check what “Frame Rate” your composition is set to, click OK, and then go to the “Preview” window. This window shows at what settings you want to review your composition at when hitting play.
So if the “Frame Rate” here is set to the same number as the composition, it should play the composition at the correct speed.

#AfterEffects #aftereffectstutorial #Tutorials #HowToHow to get your viewers hookedDavid Lindgren2024-09-29 | You need to hook people in your YouTube videos in order to keep your viewers watching since that is often the part of your video where most of your viewers leave.
There are a couple of tips and techniques that you can implement to improve your YouTube hooks. In this video I will share a couple of them. Some of the things to think about is to confirm the title early (both visually and verbally), show some kind of proof or credibility that you know what you are talking about but also provide interesting stats or ask questions to make people curious.

#YouTube #HowToYouTube #HowToHookViewersHow to make your YouTube titles 10x betterDavid Lindgren2024-09-22 | If you want people to click your YouTube video, your title and thumbnail is super important. Making a great video doesn’t matter if the title isn’t making your potential viewer curious to watch it.
The difference between a video with an 8% click-through-rate and a 12% click-through-rate can come down to the wording in your title, but the latter one can potentially lead to way more exposure by the YouTube algorithm.
There are a couple of key things to think about when it comes to titles. Generally, it is better to focus on one topic (than multiple) in the title, it should make the potential viewer curious to find out more and numbers can make it more specific and interesting.
In this video I’ll share some practical title models and examples of bad titles and how to turn them into good titles.

#YouTube #HowToYouTube #HowToMakeYouTubeTitlesHow to create rows of text with background in After EffectsDavid Lindgren2024-09-15 | If you want to create multiple rows of text with responsive background in Adobe After Effects, this is a quick way of doing it.
First, if you right click on the text and click “Convert to Paragraph Text”, you can adjust the textbox so that the text continues on a new row automatically when it reaches the edge of the textbox.
Now, you want to go to the “Effects & Presets”-window and search for the effect with the contradictory name “Minimax”.
Add that to the text layer and change the “Channel” to “Alpha”.
Increase the “Radius” to what you prefer and if you want to have a more even background size, you can go to the “Character”-window and change to “All Caps” and there you go.

#AfterEffects #aftereffectstutorial #Tutorials #HowToWhy more views is not betterDavid Lindgren2024-09-08 | Everyone wants views and subscribers but more views is not always better. More views can actually hurt your channel.
What you want is more views and high audience retention from the right people. You don’t want people to click your videos just to leave after one minute. That will only signal to YouTube that the content you’re creating isn’t worth watching.
10 views from the right people can be much better than 100 views from the wrong people. Finding your audience can also help YouTube know who to show your content to and that is when you your channel will start to grow, when your content gets shown to the right people. Not when you ask your friends and family watch it to “support” you.

#YouTube #HowToYouTubeHow to make YouTube Thumbnails (best practices)David Lindgren2024-09-01 | Making good YouTube thumbnails can be challenging because there are so many things that you want to communicate in a very small area.
There are a couple of things that I always like to follow to make my thumbnails stand out and perform. It has a lot to do with contrast, colors, emotions and a few carefully picked words.
With the thumbnail, you both want to communicate what the video is about but also make it look professional and tease people about what to come (without spoiling the outcome).
A good text on a YouTube title should rather be a question or a statement than an answer. The answer should be in the video.
