Premiere or Adobe in general has the incredible power of turning very simple and basic things into a creative hacker experience.
shameful for such an expensive program
Exactly!
100 %
Learning Adobe, in general, is like learning a second language. You can express yourself with precision, only its not intuitive. even the simplest concepts can become a convoluted, muti-step process. I'm so grateful for YT tutorials like these.
Thanks PsyberdelicXP!
Great tutorial but I don't know why Adobe makes creating a border so hard! There should literally be a border effect button.
Literally dude
The app frustrates me to no end. If they don't improve, the likes of capcut would easily run them out of the market
True... But you should see the hoops that AVID makes you jump through 🤬
@@damilaresanusi5430 capcut is 100000000 % easier to use,the only reason I use adobe is becasue it has better exporting settings
how can putting on a border be so hard. wtf premiere, there needs to be a simpler option.
I always find what I need in your channel, thanks a lot for the quick and awesome tutorial

Thanks! Welcome aboard.
Hey Paul, you should turn these into a course - so great!
Oooh that's handy. Thank you.
You're welcome!
I use this. But did nog know how to change the corners. Did look at some other videos too. So Did learn a lot today :)
love u!!
thanks!
Amazing tutorial, thank you so much!
One issue I have is since my original footage is adjusted to 1.4 rotation, the mask came in a rotation as well. How do I reset the angle of the mask to zero? Thank you in advance.
Thanks! This is an easy fix - just do the rotation with the Transform effect instead of your Motion settings. I have a video about adjusting videos inside masks here: th-cam.com/video/j2speTWY87g/w-d-xo.html
This was very helpful, for a video I'm making of a concert (to put a fake 'cinema screen' behind the performers). However, there are some differences...In my Premiere Pro (very latest version as of July 2021) the stroke value is capped at '10', as is the spread value of 'choke'. As a result my borders are always very thin. Not sure what I'm missing?
Thanks! That's very peculiar that it's capped, I can confirm that those settings go up to 40 in the latest version. What is the width and height of your media?
awesome
thanks sir...this is an amazing technique......but i had a question....when do i use such methods?. this could be done using opacity mask as well....and then we could draw a shape for the border on a seperate layer....
something new I have learned
thank u
This is insane lol. Thanks for taking the time to make it though
You're welcome Mike!
Perfect thank`s
Glad you like it!
Crisp!
Thanks! It works beautifully. But it makes me nervous that the paint bucket effect is listed as obsolete. Will Premiere Pro be doing away with it?
I remember they made the Dynamics effect obsolete, then got rid of it, then replaced it with a new and better effect a year or so later - but we had nothing to replace it with during that time. The Basic 3D effect was in the Obsolete bin for a long time, then one day it got moved back to the regular bins. It does make me nervous - you never know what Adobe has planned, you just hope it's something better not worse :)
Thank you ^_^
WOWWW TQ
Thanks - pro
thanks
You're welcome Adam!
nice informations
thank you
You're welcome!
thx bro
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect. Thanks for the tutorial. Just what I needed. But why did we bother adding the Alpha channel? The stroke effect seems to work just fine with just adding the paint bucket? No alpha channel effects are required.... Oh, never mind. I should have just kept watching the video. 👍 lol.
This method still left a thin black edge on the original image bound when using circle mask, I solved that by checking "Ignore Alpha" on.
nice information
Thanks!
Very helpfull
Glad to hear that Tuvia!
You have helped me make my poker vlogs more bearable. Thanks so very kindly for the clean and brilliant tutorials! @DONK2
Tq 💐💐😍
Saved my a** again / twice in a day 😂
Thanks to you :) - Not so much to Adobe
I’m getting a black box that blacks my video out below the webcam border when doing this
Any tips? Not sure what I’m doing wrong, did the video multiple times .. tried other videos and I can’t get a webcam border at all
Thank you for this, but I gotta say, what a roundabout way to add stroke to a video. Would be nice to see layer effects from photoshop available for PiP video.
Agreed.
Great tutorial, very helpful, thank you. Funny that 'Paint Bucket' is in the 'Obsolete' folder because apparently it isn't!
It's been there for over a year!
I do everything as you show but after I sleect "Stroke" the border doesn't show up. What might be the problem? Tried it many times.
When I first started with Adobe 6.0 then moved up to Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 it gave you the option to put a colored border on one side of your video transition example push or slide I can't find anything in Premiere 2022
Okay nice job but how do you put a border on the video transition ONLY from one clip to another?
This is great, thanks. However is it true that if we want to animate the mask, say, have it grow from nothing to full size and shape, we are limited to only linear keypoints and cannot create easing in or out to the mask animation?
Thanks Gabriel! to scale the mask, I recommend animating the Mask Expansion property, which can be eased in/out.
You have just saved me from an hour of frustration. Thank you.
Ok scrap that, for some reason the paint bucket, speeds up the footage?
This is very unusual - did you figure out what the cause was?
@@ThePremierePro I didn't figure out the cause but the solution was to render and replace and it fixed the issue but for workflow it was very slow as rendering and replacing for multiple clips takes a very long time.
It sounds like your computer might not be powerful enough to playback the effect in real time. You can confirm this by clicking the Wrench in the Program Monitor and choosing Show Dropped Frame Indicator. If this turns from green to yellow, it means your computer is dropping frames during playback.
@@ThePremierePro My computer has pretty new specs and I was using Proxies so that shouldn't have been a problem + if it was a dropping frames issue I would have thought it would have slowed or jittered the playback rather than speeding up the footage so it was out of sync with the audio?
If anyone out there is wondering if there's a way to do this with an existing opacity mask, don't fret! You can copy masks between effects! Ctrl+c on the mask in your opacity, click on the alpha adjust effect on your clip and ctrl+v to paste the mask in! You can do the same across separate clips, too.
Why does it not work on some videos? On some clips when I put the stroke option to stroke, the border does not appear.
It works consistently for me Cheska - make sure that your mask isn't too close to the edges of your video and that the Fill Selector is set to Alpha Channel.
I think its easier to create a Square in PAINT or Photoshop then remove the background with Color Key
First time I'm able to do a hack. Thank you. You are telling everything one by one...
What if I want to do the same frame in a new video in the same way? Do I have to make this whole step?
helpx.adobe.com/au/premiere-pro/how-to/copy-paste-effects.html#:~:text=Selectively%20paste%20effects-,Select%20one%20or%20more%20clips%20in%20a%20sequence%20and%20choose,to%20the%20original%20copied%20clip.
Footage behind it only shows in original frame, tried cutting a circle out of movie poster but footage behind circle will only show in the posters original resolution, everything outside that is black
I did this and got a weird effect where I am doing the straight edge instructions and the bottom border is super-thick ... twice as thick as the rest of the rectangle. Got any clues on how to prevent? I am following your instructions precisely and was able to reproduce what you did completely except this.
And later trying to do the same thing, the entire video disappears unless I use Invert Fill but the straight edge is gone.
Is your mask close to the edge of the frame? It might be cropping your border.
wired. I have Premiere Pro 2022, and when I follow the process, at 2:57, changing "stroke" to choke, it fills the rest of the layer with color, and changing to stencil alpha makes it disappear entirely...
I tested this in the latest version of 2022 (22.2) and it seems to be working fine.
if i want shadow ?
Add the Drop Shadow effect after the Paint Bucket effect.
Was using this function for a while. Now it’s just not appears. Still can see red colors before i put that two parameters. And after it’s just gone
It's working without issue in the latest version of 2022 (22.2).
What if I want to mask Lumetri color filter and i want it to have border or stroke ?
The Lumetri effect has its own mask settings.
@@ThePremierePro And how do you add stroke or border to that mask while tracking and object using that mask ?
@@ravirajput1520 For this, I would recommend duplicating the clip to the track above, adding the tracking mask to the Opacity, then add the Lumetri effect and Paint Bucket effect.
🙌👍
Can you tell me how to add a mask for my boarder? They've been staying here for weeks, and I'm tired of looking at their face.
Sorry Bill, but I only know how to bask in Mordor - the volcanic radiation is great for tanlines btw.
@@ThePremierePro And one color environment... TO BIND THEM.
All this for a border??? Jeeeeshhh!
You would think Adobe could have a stroke effect like you have in Photoshop
My stroke doesn't work, like, when I click on the "stroke > stroke", nothing happens.
I ended up with a weird line on the side of this for some reason, same color and thickness EDIT: I started over from the beginning and it was fine
This looks exactly the way I want and works the way I want..... but I have to render it all 😭 Adobe could make an effect for 'add border' with ease, I'm sure.
Agreed!
It unfortunately doesn't work with pre-cropped nested clips :(
Correct - you'll need to crop them outside of the nest.
Alt+Shift+ Drag
Its ridiculous that there is no "add stroke to mask" kind of effect after almost 20 years of Premiere Pro!!
I used to love Premiere Pro, but now I only see the stupid bugs or missing features that should have been fixed long ago that keeps stealing steal time from my every day...
paint bucket is an evil caus of eating all computer resourses only for doing border around video
