How on earth has adobe not simply created the ability to crop with shapes and add borders in two clicks instead of a nine minute video tutorial? It’s absolutely maddening that they haven’t done something so useful and simple.
Master, I'm a 61 years old man from Brazil. Very recently I decided to leave Camtasia and learn premiere as I have a paid subscription to the creative cloud. I searched youtube for premiere pro teaching channels and I was lucky enough to find yours. Man, I've got to tell you, it was the finding of my life. Thank you very much for everything you taught me. May God bless you with health, wealth and success. Quoting Spock: Live Long and Proster. Thank you. 😀
@adisonandrade Before Premiere Pro, I also have used Camtasia (and BandiCam.) Both were very limited and very ‘amateur hour’ in their UI, polish, and feature set. You made the right choice switching to a professional-quality tool. Plus, Premiere works GREAT with native Photoshop, Illustrator and AfterEffects files.
On my current project, there's a somewhat complicated cropping effect I am going for which I've been dreading having to deal with, but I just reached the point where I HAVE to figure it out today in order to proceed. This video popped up just I was sitting down at my workstation. Absolutely uncanny timing! You've really saved me a lot of trouble with the offset and mask tips. Thank you Javier!
You're a genius! I'm a newer editor and was following a few other instructions that included obsolete effects (circle). With my limited understanding that created a tremendous amount of confusion and frustrations. You are the main guy I go to at this point! You always lay it out super clear and not too fast... you're brilliant!👍🏻
You are a life saver, man. I have many projects in which I will need this effect a lot. I did my first in after effects. I had to create a shape layer then mask the footage as an inverted alpha matte then precompose all of them and add a drop shadow. After watching your video now I can do it all in a few minutes. Thanks a lot.
I needed something as a quick reference that was addressed in literally the first 30 sec of this video AND it contained the other thing I was going to search afterward! Thank you!
Good day, @JavierMercedes You taught me the Circle Crop Video trick last year. Since then, I've used the identical masking techniques you demonstrated in this video, but now I came across another method for making rounded corners that is incredibly simple compared to what I'm currently doing. , many thanks for your content
Thank you for this very helpful video! I’ve watched so many of your videos as I try to learn Premier better!! Very much appreciate what you do and how you demonstrate everything!😊🌺🌷
Thanks for that. I'd love to see a video on sound FX -which ones are the most popular, where to find them, how to automatize them depending on which transition you use, etc.
I was hoping you'd mention the 'Snap in Program Monitor' button for putting videos on the edges (it helps ALOT) But thanks for explaining that. I was just using Crop + Alpha Glow for a quick fix or creating my own PNG borders and slapping it over the PiP. 300+ Video's later, i can do it the correct way LOL thanks!
I absolutely love your tutorials. This one is another "damn that was easy" tutorial. You're helping make my meh videos just a tiny bit better. Thank you!
Does anyone have any advice if when you apply the track matte, it automatically shrinks everything and you cannot scale it up properly? I think its a pixel size issue but I do not know how to fix
Same! I can see the original border of the matte when I highlight that shape layer in the EG panel, but it's only revealing a fraction of the image with the track matte enabled on the fill layer. I can scale the shape layer to where it should be, but then the stroke layer doesn't work. Premiere v 23.2
Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much! Loving the step by step process. Strange how it takes so mange steps just to get stroke going in premiere vs PS. Anyways: Loved it and subscribed :)
Hey man! There's a new tendency for clients looking to pay video editors based on TH-cam monetization results instead of a per video o per hour rate. I've never worked on these yet, but it has caught my attention because if you are given a subject, it doesn't matter how well you've edited a video, it goes down to the tagging and the subject, as well. Thanks!
As an add-on to this video, I'd love to know how to transition between clips when I want the talking head footage to go back to full screen to make a point, then go back to the screen share underneath.
Thanks for sharing your techniques. Please I have a question and I didn't find the answer on YT : How do you animate all this in order to start from full screen to your pip... Crop and resize should be sync... I tried but it's not perfect... Any idea? pliiiiz Javier, answer meeee😊
Hi Javier I have a question please, I added a crop effect to my unedited clip and the crop effect does not crop the original video file. How do I fix this please thank you
Original shape is being used as a matte so it would just add to the transparency instead of creating a stroke. I wish there was a stroke effect you could just drop on footage in Premiere

If you are also looking to do split screen effect I have a preset pack that has over 350 PNG asset overlays: bit.ly/JMBundle01

You are not wrong.

@@schultzeworks Still struggling, Schultz.
Thanks. 😀
Straight to the point, no waste of time or stretching the video length out, couldn't ask for a better tutorial. Big compliment!

This video popped up just I was sitting down at my workstation. Absolutely uncanny timing! You've really saved me a lot of trouble with the offset and mask tips. Thank you Javier!
you have no idea how on-point, simple, and effective this tutorial is, especially compared to the other ones out there. thank you!
Thanks Green Gloves! 🧤
Lifesaver with the offset effect; I used to spend so much time adjusting and playing with the positioning of the crop! thank you soooo much! T_T
Excellent video! Thank you for including both concepts in ONE video
You're a genius! I'm a newer editor and was following a few other instructions that included obsolete effects (circle). With my limited understanding that created a tremendous amount of confusion and frustrations. You are the main guy I go to at this point! You always lay it out super clear and not too fast... you're brilliant!👍🏻
So concise, yet so precise. 👍🏼10/10
Really. I could easily see other people making a 17 minutes video explaining the exact same things!
That offset over crop is an effing game changer!!!
This came in at the perfect time
You are a life saver, man. I have many projects in which I will need this effect a lot. I did my first in after effects. I had to create a shape layer then mask the footage as an inverted alpha matte then precompose all of them and add a drop shadow. After watching your video now I can do it all in a few minutes. Thanks a lot.
I usually do this in my channel with expansion mask's but in this video I've learn an alternative way. Thanks!
The amount of thing I just learned from this video is insane. Awesome job!!!
Wachted a lot of videos... this is when I decided to subscribe. Thanks.
I needed something as a quick reference that was addressed in literally the first 30 sec of this video AND it contained the other thing I was going to search afterward! Thank you!
That offset above the crop is 🔥 Thanks Professor Javier

You are the best brother!
I love your tutorials!
Cannot thank you enough for your content (and templates for sale.) The most used tools in my Premiere arsenal. Cheers.
I didn’t know about the offset. I’ve done the mask, the key, and the crop. All of them super frustrating at times. This Offset effect: 👌
Wow...gonna save me so much time! Thank you!
I was hoping you'd mention the 'Snap in Program Monitor' button for putting videos on the edges (it helps ALOT)
But thanks for explaining that.

Very cool trick, thanks Javier.
Straight in - no bullshit. Love it
I absolutely love your tutorials. This one is another "damn that was easy" tutorial. You're helping make my meh videos just a tiny bit better. Thank you!

Just what needed today! As always you came to help! Thanks Javier!

For the stroke you could just add it from the Essential Graphics - Appearance. Without duplicating and headaches
YO BRO WHICH VERSION OF PREMIRER YOU ARE USING IN TJIS VIDEO ?
Thank you
you are primer pro saver
thanks

Can we save the end result, the rounded rectangle, to use in other projects or do we have to create this every time? Thank for the helpful content.
Cropping in Premiere is unbelievably complicated. I can't believe how complicated it is compared to programs like Format Factory.
First viewer first commenter first liked person 😌
Thank to u sir,am obsessed with premiere pro
I wish I could give you 1000 likes! THANK YOU!
Cheers. x
Do you teach or know of any thorough courses in premier pro?
kick butt teacher
nice bro
Can I turn this into a preset?
Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much! Loving the step by step process. Strange how it takes so mange steps just to get stroke going in premiere vs PS. Anyways: Loved it and subscribed :)

A lot of steps for something that should be a built in effect. I could add a border in Media 100 25 years ago
As an add-on to this video, I'd love to know how to transition between clips when I want the talking head footage to go back to full screen to make a point, then go back to the screen share underneath.

How to do this in new 2025 version??
This doesn't work anymore with the latest version sadly :(
Is there a way to zoom in and out once I have my footage framed with the offset tool rather than just left and right?
Hi Javier I have a question please, I added a crop effect to my unedited clip and the crop effect does not crop the original video file. How do I fix this please thank you
is it possible to crop a hole in the middle of the video?
Excellent tutorial. By why not enable the stroke on the original clip instead of duplicating it? That would work too, right?
Original shape is being used as a matte so it would just add to the transparency instead of creating a stroke. I wish there was a stroke effect you could just drop on footage in Premiere
@@JavierMercedes ah yes.. makes sense
I don't have that rectangle tool in my tools panel. Do you know how to enable it?
