Hey there.
Here's another trick that I wanted to share with you.
I discovered it recently and I realized that it opens up a whole new world of creative opportunities.
So this demo is going to be a bit messy.
I didn't really prepare it but the idea is the following.
So you create all these same things that you created previously on any slide.
Right so I will take this slide as an example.
But it can be literally anything else any other info graphic any other objects that you want to place
on the slide.
And what I want to do is I want to make this background here behind transparent.
Right.
So it would allow me to superpose to basically put any of the objects on this slide on top of a video.
Right so of course this goes together with video editing.
And we're going to do it with Adobe Premiere Pro.
So this is an advanced video editing software.
But if you know how to use other video editing software you're not going to have problems using Adobe
Premiere.
And as you will see it can be particularly useful if for example you record yourself so you record a
video of yourself talking and you put your head here like this is the background of your video and let's
say you put your head here on the right.
And as you talk you can make PowerPoint animations appear here on the on your left side while being
animated and transparent while keeping the background behind yourself.
So first what we need to do for this is to modify the backgrounds of all the slides and to put one plain
color.
Right.
Always the same color and color that is not used anywhere else in the presentation.
So do a right click for my background and here you choose solid fill and you can go.
Let's say for example with this thread.
Right so this looks horrible obviously but it's not the problem.
It will work like a green screen know the green screens that are used in movies when they film actors
in front of just plain green blanket.
And then they replace the pictures on this green blanket.
So Adobe will detect this red color and it will simply delete it.
So I'll do this for all the slides
you actually just discovered another trick.
So you can select all the slides by pressing control and then click on the mouse and then you make a
right click here for my background and you can modify the background of all the slides on scene discovering
stuff as I'm doing it.
So then I will record my video and I will do it anyhow.
This is not very structure.
OK.
As I said.
So I will accelerate the video so you don't have to see all of this all over again.
It's really so that you understand the principle how it works.
So I will export all of this.
All right.
So my PowerPoint video is ready and I opened up at the premiere.
So here you have the timeline of Adobe Premiere and here you have the file browser.
So you take your PowerPoint video right.
You put it on the timeline it works just like with any other video editing software.
And for the purpose of this demonstration I will took another video where I filmed myself for a completely
different course.
OK.
So just so you know that this video was not done at all for the purpose of this demonstration.
So these videos have nothing to do with each other is just to show you how it works OK.
We put it here.
I will take out the audio here will be easier.
So this PowerPoint has to be on top.
So let me see.
OK so here I am talking.
So ideally for the best demonstration it would have been better if I was sitting more on the right here
but it doesn't matter.
So what do we have to do now.
Said we have to apply in effect on this video here.
So you go in effect the USX.
And here you choose ultra key.
So in order to apply it you just take it from here and you drag it on this video.
Then you go on effect controls.
And here you can define all the settings of this effect here all tricky.
So here it's written the color.
And you can choose the key color but you don't need to use it here just click here on the eyedropper
and you click on the red color.
That's it.
It made everything transparent.
Everything that was with this red color.
So now let's take a look
right basically as you can see exactly the same things happen as on PowerPoint itself.
And you have many many things that you can do with it.
But as you can see there are problems.
For example I just noticed here that you see transparency behind this arc and it makes sense because
this color here was probably a color that was really close to the red one.
And so it took away part of this red color and made the transport so I actually don't know I have to
test this.
As I said this is something new.
So you managed to do something particularly interesting with this I might do another video about this.
But for now you can already try was basic things you could for example put titles here with PowerPoint
titles that unfold while you're talking about a certain topic.
Let's see how it goes further.
By the way if you see some problems here this is just a question of preview.
So if I export this video this will all look much better even when I zoom in.
You can already see that it looks better.
So if you see some things that are pixilated probably they will not look like this.
Once the video is exported
and OK then I started on the original video so this is part of the original video.
All right.
So this is a really messy presentation I'm sorry for this but it's to get the point across.
Also what you could do let's say that I want to change this a little bit.
I want to move this video here.
On the left right and I want to resize it this is how it would have looked.
Ideally if I was positioned correctly on the right.
So let's say I'm talking about a mosque.
And here all this information appears next to me.
Right.
I think it's great.
And I think like I said it opens up a whole new world of creative ideas to go with this of course doesn't
work anymore.
But you get the point.
So just to make sure if the quality stays I will export this little part here to check.
OK so the first thing I notice right away is that the exporting process is much much slower.
So I guess it's a bit tough or even Premier to generate this kind of transparently deal with let's see
how it looks like a decent
wall.
So this was some pretty long exporting process for 50 seconds of video.
So let's see the result.
So it's actually a screencast of a video.
It's not the actual video that you're seeing right now.
So so far for me the quality of the PowerPoint is perfect.
I mean there is literally no problem with it at all.
Yeah.
Well then I didn't intend to do it correctly here obviously.
I just wanted to see the rendering quality but it works.
Right.
So this is my heater but basically that was the idea.
So yeah it's actually pretty interesting.
There are so many things that you could do is this.
And in order to build your PowerPoint correctly according to your screen frame well you should simply
do it this way so you record yourself talking.
OK you put it full screen and then you press the button Print Screen on your computer.
OK.
But forget about this part.
I imagine it's not here.
Then you go on PowerPoint and you simply paste it great control V and you put it as a background or
even better you set it correctly as a background if you do it like this.
Now not from a picture.
I cannot do this.
Basically here for my background you said it as a background.
So this what it allows you to do is that you will position this once and then you will be able to move
the object in PowerPoint in the correct position according to your head there according to where you
are.
OK.
So you can put this here and then you can resize everything and start working was a big mistake and
then start working right away in the correct manner.
OK.
So once you will export that new video you will not need to resize anything in Adobe Premiere anymore
because you will have done it correctly the first time.
So again I'm sorry for this messy presentation here because I just figured out how this works.
So I didn't prepare any specific material to show how it works but basically this is how you should
proceed.
So this would allow you to create great animations next to yourself talking right and animations that
are transparent.
You don't need to put like half of PowerPoint here and keep the typical background.
Now you can actually keep your background and you leave everything else transparent.
And so for this you just have to set the background color it always has to be the same one.
And ideally one that is not used anywhere else in your video.
So as you can see the problem that they had on Premier is that this thread is very similar to this thread.
So it took away parts of this thread here and made a little bit of transparency but that's not a big
deal.
And so then once you are the premier you just apply this effect here all tricky and you select this
color and that set and it will make everything transparent.
So I hope you enjoyed it and see you next time.
