How Do You Do Chanel Ombre in Premiere?

Are you looking to create a Chanel Ombre effect in Premiere? Look no further as we guide you through the process step-by-step.

Step 1: Import Your Footage

The first step is to import your footage into Premiere. To do this, simply go to File > Import and select the video file you want to work with. Once imported, drag and drop the footage onto your timeline.

Step 2: Duplicate Your Footage

Next, duplicate your footage by right-clicking on it in the timeline and selecting “Duplicate.” This will create a copy of your original footage on a new layer.

Step 3: Apply the Gaussian Blur Effect

Now it’s time to apply the Gaussian Blur effect to the duplicated footage. To do this, go to Effects > Video Effects > Blur & Sharpen > Gaussian Blur. Drag and drop this effect onto the duplicated footage layer.

Step 4: Adjust the Gaussian Blur Settings

Once you’ve applied the Gaussian Blur effect, it’s time to adjust its settings. Go to your Effect Controls panel and adjust the “Blur Amount” until you’re happy with how it looks. We recommend starting with a small amount (around 10-20) and increasing it gradually until you achieve your desired look.

Step 5: Add a Mask

To create the Chanel Ombre effect, we need to add a mask that will reveal our original footage underneath the blurred layer. To do this, select your duplicated footage layer and go to Opacity > Mask > Create Mask from Shape. This will create a mask layer on top of your blurred footage.

Step 6: Adjust Your Mask

With your mask selected, go to your Effect Controls panel and adjust its settings until it covers only the area you want to reveal. You can use the Pen tool to create a custom shape, or use one of the pre-set shapes in the drop-down menu.

Step 7: Adjust the Feather and Expansion

To make your mask look more natural, adjust the “Feather” and “Expansion” settings until it blends seamlessly with your original footage. The Feather setting will soften the edges of your mask, while Expansion will expand or contract its size.

Step 8: Fine-Tune Your Settings

Lastly, fine-tune your settings until you’re happy with how it looks. You can play around with the opacity of your Gaussian Blur layer to make it more or less intense, or adjust your mask settings to reveal more or less of your original footage.

Conclusion

Creating a Chanel Ombre effect in Premiere is simple and easy with these steps. By adjusting the Gaussian Blur effect and adding a mask layer, you can achieve a beautiful ombre effect that adds depth and texture to your footage. Try experimenting with different settings to create a unique look that suits your style!
