Speaker 1: Hey you. Do you spend hours adding in subtitles? Yes. Is the thought of subtitling dampening your creativity? It's right. Do you find tracking text to be hugely time consuming? That's me. Here I am baby. Finzar is about to change your goddamn lives and show you the easiest and most efficient way to give your gaming videos that extra flair with subtitles. The way of doing subtitles that I'm about to show you is not like the other tutorials that I've seen. This is my way that I have taught myself over the past year of YouTubing which is way more efficient and way easier to do than the known way of doing it. This needs to stop now. I'm gonna try my best to be as educational as possible in this video with less emphasis on me being a goddamn idiot and more on me giving an actual tutorial. Let's see how that goes. Here we go. So firstly open Premiere Pro. Let's say that you've already got some gameplay cut up that you're happy with and you're ready to start adding subtitles to it. Now come down to Rizzle's car emporium. The first thing we do is press T on the keyboard to bring up the text cursor. After this we click somewhere on the playback window and whack in our text. Now you need to click on the text box that you've created in the timeline and head over to effects controls. Once here you should see this, a text box that you can expand. Head on into there and suddenly we have quite a few variables to change. Finn, no. Wait, we said no being an idiot this time, alright? We're just doing tutorial stuff today. Got it? Okay... First thing I usually do is change the font to one which I've been using for my subtitles previously keeping that continuity of the brand I talked about in my thumbnail video. Branding is key. When that's done, go and select the central alignment option here. This is going to be a real time saver for the whole process especially later on. Below this you'll find these variables which change the appearance of your subs. What I usually do for mine is add a small amount of stroke, make sure the colour is set to black and play around with the variable until I'm happy with how it looks. Hey, that's pretty good. I also add a very subtle drop shadow so that the text is really easy to read for the viewer. With the drop shadow make sure you adjust the colour to black as the default grey looks kind of weird. I mean look at that, it's bloody beautiful. Toilet break. Finn, no. No, come on, come on man. Let's just try and keep it normal here, please. Just wait until the video is finished, okay? Please? Anyway... When you've done that, head back to your playback window and press V on the keyboard so that you can drag around the text that you've made. By holding CTRL on Windows, Premiere will find the centre lines for you and give you guidance on bringing your text to the centre of the screen. Perfect, it's looking good already. Some of you may just be happy with this. Peace out. And say au revoir now, which is fine. Because what I'm about to show you next is the extra extra stuff that big YouTubers can't do themselves. Oh my god. Okay, it's happening. Everybody stay calm, stay f***ing calm. Until now. Alright Finn, you can do something weird now. If you want your text to pop in nice and smooth like I have on my gaming videos and many others do, then all you have to do is follow these unbelievably easy steps. First, head over to the effects control panel. There are three ways of changing the position and scale in Premiere. Vector motion. Don't, don't change it, alright? Just don't. And then this one, just below. You know what? Don't touch that one, just leave it. This right here, this is the one you should change. Not the others, okay? Just trust me. So when you're here, decide the size you want your text to be in the scale variable. I set mine to 100 and then create a keyframe. Once that first one is set, I go forward four frames using the arrow keys and add another. All you have to do is change the scale and the new keyframe will be created for you automatically. What I do is add 20 to my last keyframe. Then I move forward another three frames and take away five. Now review the animation you've just made. Oh yeah, you like that little nice pop-in effect? Yeah, I know you do. For me it adds that extra level of texture and smoothness I like to see in videos. Well that's it. You just made a sexy subtitle. And you know what? To do the rest, all you have to do is alt and drag to new areas and replace the text to whatever you say in the video. This is where that central alignment we talked about earlier comes in real handy. You can type in anything and it will always remain central, so you won't have to make any adjustments. Time saver. What, what, what? Oh, I almost forgot. Tracking. Remember those keyframes we made ages ago with the scale adjustment? Well, with tracking, all you have to do is set a new position keyframe at the start of the text and manually track the text every couple of frames onto your character or object. Just use that central dot as a sort of anchor and keep placing it on the same spot in frames. And bing bang boom. In no time, you'll find it's tracked. Wow. Hey, you did it Finn, you made it. You did as I asked and you weren't too weird, thank you. So look, I think that'll do for this episode. You have enough to play around with for now. If you have any other suggestions for things you'd like to know how to do, just leave a comment or just say hey, you know? I love speaking with you guys. Also, go have a look at my other editing tutorials. I think they're pretty sweet. Ah, anyways, I love you guys. Thank you for all the support on the channel. Now go enjoy your day. Go get some fresh air. Have a little walkie walk with your doggy dog. Go buy some beef jerky. Why not? Start drinking herbal tea. Fire up the Nintendo Wii. Challenge someone to a tournament. Oh, and subscribe to Finnzo. Yeah, so I was thinking about that. Hold on. What are you doing here? I'm... What? For the love of God, please save your work.
