I will always use a "pattern" of my talking head video to better adjust the placement, size and colors of my powerpoint designs to the background of the video.
Create a list in PowerPoint by inserting shapes, turning off outlines, applying transparent fill, and adding a tick icon from icons or noun project with proportional resizing and precise placement.
Learn to animate the first list title in PowerPoint by applying zoom, grow shrink, and entrance wipe to a white rectangle, with start with previous and precise durations and delays.
From here until the end of this first project (Section 1), you will learn how to prepare your Powerpoint file for video exporting and then, how to set this transparency inside Adobe Premiere.
I will be working with Adobe Premiere for the transparency effect, but you can also use any other video editing software that can do the same (Chroma Key or Ultra Key effect).
Master editing PowerPoint overlays on top of the face video in Adobe Premiere by cutting clips, adjusting timing, and using frame hold to precisely reveal list items.
Create a second, more fancy list in PowerPoint using rounded shapes and transparency, anticipating subtle green artifacts in Premiere while aligning the slide face with your video colors.
Create a basic list by drawing circles, an orange overlay, and rounded rectangles, adjusting transparency, alignment, and layering, then duplicate to match the number of list items.
Animate the list titles in PowerPoint using fade, zoom, and peek effects, set durations, start with previous, align items precisely, and copy the layout for multiple items.
Set shape and text sizes, apply a solid green fill, and rehearse animations. Export the PowerPoint as a video to refine transparency in adobe premiere and review results.
Learn to create transparent PowerPoint overlays in Adobe Premiere by applying the Ultra Key effect to a green-screen list, adjusting key color and alignment for a clean composite.
Learn to create a background from a video frame in PowerPoint by deleting placeholders, capturing a frame, and applying it as a background with picture fill for clean, editable titles.
Insert a text box, type the name at size 40 with a font like bunch shrift, and place a vertical bar cursor to the left of first letter for visibility.
Learn to animate a vertical bar and name in PowerPoint by applying appear and blink effects, then time the text with by letter animation and a typing cursor.
Create a typing effect in PowerPoint by animating a vertical bar alongside your text, aligning the timing to your character count, and applying blink and disappear sequences for realism.
Select the written titles, apply an exit animation (Zoom), customize text by letter with a 5 percent delay, and preview to make the titles disappear nicely.
Set the slide background to a pure green, enabling transparency. Register the rehearsed timings, export the PowerPoint video in full HD, and import into Premiere to ignore the green.
PowerPoint enables a fast, flexible typing effect title animation for online courses, YouTube, and marketing videos, while minor letter-border artifacts may appear.
Design animated lower thirds in PowerPoint by adding a name and logo over a talking head video to create a professional presenter reveal.
Insert your logo using pictures or icons, position it proportionally, rename the object as logo, and add a text box for the title with a chosen font and color.
Learn to build engaging PowerPoint animations by applying fly in, peak in, wipe, and entrance effects with precise timing, delays, and pane-based sequencing to reveal shapes, logo, and title.
Set a transparent background in PowerPoint with a solid fill, rehearse timings to record forward and exit animations, export as full hd video, then make the background transparent in Premiere.
Use Ultra Key in Adobe Premiere to remove green screen and place a presenter title over a talking-head video, then export with transparency and render at maximum depth.
Learn to enhance PowerPoint visuals by duplicating post-it shapes, selecting realistic colors with the eyedropper tool, and editing shape points to create varied, engaging designs.
Discover how to create realistic post-its textures in PowerPoint by converting shapes to images, applying artistic effects, and adjusting transparency, shadows, and color variations.
Find a realistic pin in PowerPoint using insert icons or sourced transparent images from Google, then adjust color, size, and orientation for a polished effect.
Learn to animate post-its in PowerPoint for your videos by grouping text, applying float and handwriting effects with precise timing, delays, and animation painter.
Learn to create transparent PowerPoint animations in Adobe Premiere by using the ultra key to remove green background, adjust timing, and export the final video.
Set a background pattern for PowerPoint animations by importing a face screenshot, pasting it as a picture, and flipping it horizontally on the left.
Create the base shape by inserting a white rectangle, duplicating it, applying a dotted diamond grid for a Polaroid look, then set transparency to 25% and create a custom shadow.
Create a custom bent shadow by shaping a dark grey rectangle, applying soft edges, and editing points to bend it. Then group the elements and send the shadow to back.
Finish the base shape by adding a black rectangle Polaroid frame, crop three photos (New York, San Francisco, Seattle) inside, and apply inner shadow for depth.
Insert clip icons from the Noun Project, download as SVG with licensing considerations, credit the author for free usage, and customize color, outline, and transparency to harmonize with your slides.
Insert titles with a casual handwritten font, install it on Windows, and restart PowerPoint to apply; then group and rotate elements and animate the Polaroid pictures to finish the shapes.
Apply Polaroid style animations to photos in PowerPoint by grouping frames, adding zoom entrance effects, setting delays, and using animation painter to duplicate across frames, with optional exit effects.
Harness Adobe Premiere to layer Polaroid pictures over a talking head video, apply an ultra key to remove green screen, and export with high bitrate for quality.
Set the PowerPoint slide to 16:9, use a talking-head frame with a screenshot to plan designs, then export and import into Premiere, resizing only downward to preserve quality.
Learn to add a PowerPoint video over a face video in Adobe Premiere, remove green with the ultra key, and adjust color and transparency for a smooth overlay.
Edit with Adobe Premiere by cutting with the razor tool, filling gaps with frame hold, aligning clips on the selected track, then export using maximum render quality and preset.
Learn to create transparent PowerPoint animations without Adobe Premiere by applying the remove color effect in Camtasia, then tweak tolerance and softness to improve transparency.
Use this course as a tool kit to improve the quality of your talking head videos by adding transparent infographics and "lower thirds". You will create these graphics using Powerpoint and make them transparent using Adobe Premiere. Some other video editors can also create the transparency effect, but the same good result as with Adobe Premiere is NOT guaranteed. So if you don't have Adobe Premiere, do make sure that your video editing software can create the transparency effect (check the list at the bottom).
In this course we're going to create:
2 Lists
2 Name/titles
1 "Post-it" effect
1 "Polaroid" Photo effect
These graphics can be used for your YouTube videos, Online courses, Business/Marketing videos, Interview Videos and more. Basically, whenever a person is talking on camera.
You will learn how to create these graphics with Powerpoint only, and you will probably be surprised how powerful Powerpoint can be. And even though you won't be able to create the most complex effects that can be done with specialized animation software, Powerpoint is a great compromise in terms of quality and creation speed. Once you learn how it works, you will be able to create many other infographics for your videos relatively fast.
However, you will need a video editing software that can do a "Remove Color" effect to make it transparent and add on top of your talking head video, and most decent software can do it. However, not all of them give the same results. For example, Camtasia "remove color" effect is not as good as Adobe Premiere's "Ultra Key" - some shadows don't work, you need to do much more adjustments, but it's still possible. So here is a limited list of software that have *some version* of this effect. If your software is not listed here, it doesn't mean that it can't do it. In that case you should check it for yourself on the internet if this is possible or not. Otherwise, write me privately and I will do the research for you and update the list below.
Adobe Premiere
Camtasia
Filmora
Corel VideoStudio
Final Cut Pro
Pinnacle Studio
