Welcome to the Travel Film Making Course2:55
Thomas unveils the ultimate travel filmmaking course, teaching you to shoot travel videos that work with your kids, edit into a short film, and apply transitions, color, music, and hyperlapses.
Why Make Travel Film Making2:53
Discover why travel filmmaking matters: capture memories for decades, share your creativity with modern technology, and edit effortlessly using portable cameras and phones.
How to Shoot to make editing easier and better6:57
Master shot planning to speed up editing: center the subject, punch in and out, keep consistent screen direction, and mix close-up, medium, and wide shots, with optional 60fps slow-mo.
Organizing and Bringing files into Premiere Pro3:48
Organize your travel film assets in Premiere Pro by creating camera-based folders and bins. Import media in bulk and establish a structured workflow, including music and color-grading adjustments.
Creating Sequences and Adjusting Sequence Settings2:19
Create new sequences and adjust sequence settings to 1920 by 1080 at 23.976 frames per second, using custom presets and setting to frame size to fit the footage.
Selecting and Preparing Music for Syncing7:20
Import a music clip to the timeline, shorten it, place markers on strong beats, and snap video clips to those markers to sync with the music.
Creation of Timelapses3:55
Learn to create timelapses from raw images by importing into Lightroom, editing for highlights, shadows, and vibrance, exporting JPEG frames, and compiling in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Turning images into a video Sequence2:16
Import G.P.A. images from Lightroom into After Effects as a JPEG sequence to create a single video clip, then render a Ferris wheel tutorial timelapse.
Timelapse to Hyperlapse6:12
Learn to transform timelapse into a smooth hyperlapse by shooting with cross-section alignment, then stabilize and render using post-production tools like Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Selecting and Browsing through clips quickly4:46
Select and preview travel clips quickly in a preview window, set in/out points, and insert onto the timeline, while interpreting 50fps to 23.976fps for beat-aligned edits.
Arranging your clips into a story7:08
Arrange clips on the timeline by separating drone footage from normal footage, blend movement, color, and shapes, then use previews, jump cuts, and stabilization to craft a cohesive story.
Zoom Transitions11:53
Learn to create zoom transitions by duplicating clips with replicate and mirror effects, then animate with keyframes and motion blur. Adjust velocity and shutter angle for a polished, fast zoom.
Tidy your transitions1:35
Learn to tidy your transitions by trimming clips, nesting sequences, and compressing layers into a clean timeline, with double-click edits in the sub-timeline.
Cinematic Black Bars2:35
Create cinematic black bars by adding two black box layers at the top and bottom, crop the bottom by 11.5% on the first layer and the top by 8.5% on the second, then nest the sequence for a seamless pad.
Color Grading of Video7:54
Color grade video by adjusting exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, and blacks, then apply LUTs to harmonize footage from two cameras. Use an adjustment layer for a consistent, cinematic look.
Adding Sound to your videos3:38
Add layered sound effects and music to bring travel videos to life through sound editing on the timeline, source copyright-free audio, and export with a high bitrate.
