Zoom Shake Transition Premiere Pro

[Vanya Lamunyon]

Higuys, trying to create a slow deep-zooming video using a high-resolution TIFF, and the result is all shaky/jittery. I'm doing the zoom using the "scale" function in the fx motion panel, in "linear" mode. There is something wrong with the way PP is downressing the TIFF to create the video frames (using nearest neighbor interpolation maybe--is there a way to change to bicubic?), producing a result that looks like bad camera shake. I have done exactly the same thing before with the same image on previous versions of PP with no problem. I'm rendering .mov files using ProresHQ, 4k, and tried various settings (8bit v 16bit, max render quality versus regular) all with the same result. My zooms are from 100% out to 50% of the original image, should produce a perfectly smooth result. 2017 iMac Pro, Catalina 10.15.4.

Solved! For anyone with this problem in the future: the issue was that my TIFF images were much bigger than the area that was being zoomed into, so there were a lot of extra pixels on the sides of the images that were confusing the scaling function. When I cropped the images in PS to a size that was only slightly larger than needed for my PP zooms, and re-imported them into PP, the problem disappeared. For reference, I am exporting at 4k and needed a 50% zoom-out, so the images needed to be 8k m

Update: I looked closely at my exported result, and the mis-interpolation is happening on the right side of the frame. The left edge looks fine, the right side looks terrible, and the artifacts that are producing the shake are distributed across the frame from right to left. On the right side the whole image is displaced by multiple pixels from frame to frame, producing an effect over the whole image that looks just like camera shake. I tried rendering the whole video and applying warp stabilization, and it removes most of the shake, but that's a pretty hokey and time-consuming workaround. Any thoughts for how to create a smoother zoom into my TIFF image?

For reference, I am exporting at 4k and needed a 50% zoom-out, so the images needed to be 8k max size. My originals were 20k pixels wide (super high res photos) and this was more than PP could deal with.

The previous soulution didn't work for me. But I solved it differently: In fact, my picture slid in to a position which was 1293.2. The .2 caused the problem - apparently the position was jumping back and forth between 1293.0 and 1294.0. Setting the target position to 1293.0 eliminated the jitter completely.

In modern video editing, transitions play an immensely important role. Whether we're talking about social media edits, gaming content, or even regular YouTube entertainment videos, it's difficult to disregard the impact a transition effect can have on the overall viewer experience.

There are many different video transitions, such as fades and crossfades, glitch effects, wipes, slides, and many more. However, in this specific guide, we'll focus on the zoom transition, one deemed by many editors as the most aesthetic and useful choice for various content types.

If you're willing to learn how to do a zoom transition in Adobe Premiere and become more informed about what this transition achieves and when it should be used, you've come to the right place. There's a lot to unfold, so without further ado, let's get straight into it.

Zoom transitions are one of the many known ways of transitioning from one shot to another. It (almost always) uses the "Transform" component in your video editing software to "zoom" into the shot by changing the "Scale" value, all while timing it with the exact moment when your shot ends so that when the next one starts, it looks as if you "zoomed" into it or zoomed out of it.

Even if you are a complete beginner in video editing, you know that how you cut from one shot to another is very important for the viewer's eye, and sometimes, subtle (without any transitions) is better than everything else.

However, most modern content used for social media and entertainment requires flashiness and excitement to keep the viewer's attention. This is where the zoom transition that you can create in Adobe Premiere Pro, amongst other editing programs, shines the most.

The Zoom transition Premiere Pro effect is a versatile tool, and how it looks can vary based on the creator's (editor's) vision and goals for the project they're working on. If it's a more dynamic video, it can be quicker, for example.

Regarding the variables for the zoom transition effect, they are usually the amount of zoom that happens, almost always controlled by the "scale" component, and the speed at which all that happens, which is usually controlled by the keyframing done in the same "scale" component field.

Gaming edits or music videos often require flashy transitions, and the zoom transition is commonly found in such content. Rhythmical, consecutive zooms synced to the beat is one of the many examples video editors use to make the content more exciting.

Sometimes zoom transitions are used to "extend" the shot currently shown on the screen, but in a fancier and more engaging way. For example, you have a wider shot of a football stadium, and a closeup shot of the audience (which is also shown in the first, wider shot), a zoom transition can be used to "get the viewer closer" to the audience.

Or, a wide shot of a person standing, then a zoom transition into a closer shot of the same person, and then another zoom transition into a detailed shot of the person's eyes, as shown in this example here.

Zooming out or in of a shot can often suggest a change of time. It can be used to transition into a dream-like scene or into a shot showing something that happened in the past or future. This works especially well with an adequate sound effect and a change of screen color.

In Premiere Pro, the software we'll be using for this task, you can do this by clicking on the "Project" tab to open it, then right-clicking anywhere in the empty area in the project browser and choosing "Import" from the list of options that shows on your screen, as shown in the image below.

Now, move the playhead at the end of the clip and then adjust the value of the "Scale" component depending on how much you want the video to be "zoomed in" at the very end of its length. Adjusting the scale value will create another keyframe.

Depending on your project, you may need a quicker or slower zoom, or perhaps a higher or lower value of zoom than what you've originally set. You can move the keyframes around or redo them with different values.

If you have only two keyframes, like in the example above, moving them closer together means the scale value will change quicker, and the zoom will happen faster. Spreading them apart means that the zoom effect will be "dragged out" across the whole clip, so it will be slower. Every next frame you create will give you the option to have a more controlled increase or decrease of a specific parameter.

A cool thing you can do to make the zoom look better is to right-click the first keyframe and choose "Ease Out" and right-click the second one and choose "Ease In". This will make your transition smoother.

You can add any effects you want to adjustment layers, and even create a second adjustment layer, or more if needed, to add other effects without modifying your original clips and to only have those effects applied at specific moments.

Everything is much quicker and easier to complete when using plug-ins. Continuum is a pack by Boris FX that you can download from the official website for free and try the various tools offered in it that will take your work to the next level.

The ultimate Premiere Pro Zoom transition pack! With over 140 dynamic transitions across 11 versatile categories, elevate your video projects with seamless zoom effects that captivate your audience. From smooth slides to dynamic zoom-ins, this pack offers the perfect transition for every scene, adding professional polish to your edits.

I'm going to give popular sam kolder style smooth zoom transitions for Premiere Pro for absolutely free! These Transitions are similar to the handy seamless transitions. I'm sure you're going to love them.

In summary, use the power zoom transition to bring dramatic or surprise reaction to your viewers. Its therefore a great transition for storytellers and filmmakers who like to create suspense and action filled videos and films

- [Tutor] Along the right-hand side of the program is the Toolbar and Adobe has pretty much taken all the programs - Tools, Effects, and other features - and tucked them neatly into this Toolbar, sort of your one-stop shop for pretty much every tool in the program. Now it's available in both Quick view and Expert view, although as we've seen earlier in this course, Quick view has kind of a limited number of effects and transitions available. So let's work in Expert view so we can see the Toolbar in all its glory. Also note that for a lot of these tools you need to have a clip selected on the timeline. If you don't have a clip selected and you try to open one of the tools on the Toolbar, you'll see it says please select a clip. So let's select this clip and we'll go over here to the top of the bar, and we'll look at all these things available on the Toolbar in greater detail later in the course, but for now let's just do an overview. Here are the Adjustments. Adjustments are very cool. There are ways for correcting color, correcting audio problems, taking some of the shake out of your video. There are eight video and five audio adjustments. There's the toolkit here and the tools are all very valuable. We'll take a look in detail of virtually all these tools. There are seven video and there are three audio tools. For effects, there are a number of categories of effects here. 18 categories of video effects, so 87 video effects, 19 audio effects; this number is a little bit different on the Macintosh. Transitions. We have 15 categories of transitions or 107 transitions; a little bit different number on the Macintosh. We have the Applied Effects panel over here which is where we're going to adjust our applied effects as well as do some key framed animation. We'll do that a little bit later in the course. We have title templates. These title templates include both traditional, kind of classic templates, as well as animated motion templates. We'll take a look at how to do all of them also. There are also scores. This is a tool for generating your own music, your own custom music at a custom music length. We'll take a look at that a little bit later in the program where there are 50 different music clips, and on the PC, 360 sound effects. And finally as a bonus, clip art! This is clip art that you can overlay right on top of your video - 277 pieces of clip art. Some of it is animated, some of it is editable, so as you can see we have little thought bubbles and speech bubbles that we can add right to our video and then customize the text that appears in those; we'll show you how to do that a little bit later too. So a lot of great tools in the program, hidden away but very easily accessible. This keeps the interface and the programs workspace nice and clean, and yet at the same time, puts virtually every tool within easy access - maybe only a couple of clicks away. And in our next couple of movies we're going to take a closer look at some of the most powerful tools that are available on the Premiere Elements Toolbar.
