Premiere Pro Tutorial : Make your Video like Film

 Film has a unique look that is often sought-after by videographers. While it is not possible to perfectly replicate the look of film in digital video, there are a number of things you can do to get close.

Here are some tips on how to make your video look like film in Premiere Pro:

  • Add grain. Film has a natural grain that gives it a distinctive look. To add grain to your video in Premiere Pro, you can use the Grain effect in the Video Effects panel.
  • Adjust the color. Film has a different color profile than digital video. To adjust the color of your video to make it look more like film, you can use the Lumetri Color panel. Try adjusting the Contrast, Saturation, and Temperature settings to achieve a more filmic look.
  • Use a vignette. A vignette is a darkening of the edges of an image. Vignettes are often used in film to draw the viewer’s attention to the center of the frame. To add a vignette to your video in Premiere Pro, you can use the Vignette effect in the Video Effects panel.
  • Adjust the frame rate. Film is typically shot at a frame rate of 24 frames per second (fps). Digital video is typically shot at a frame rate of 60 fps. To make your digital video look more like film, you can reduce the frame rate to 24 fps. To do this, go to Sequence > Settings and change the Frame Rate setting to 24.

Here are some additional tips:

  • Use vintage lenses. Vintage lenses can give your video a softer, more organic look. If you have access to vintage lenses, try using them to shoot your video.
  • Shoot in a higher bitrate. A higher bitrate will give your video more detail and less compression. To shoot in a higher bitrate, go to Sequence > Settings and change the Bitrate setting to a higher value.
  • Edit your video carefully. Avoid using too many cuts or transitions. Instead, try to use longer takes and more natural transitions. This will help to create a more cinematic look.

By following these tips, you can make your video look more like film in Premiere Pro.

Here are some examples of how this technique can be used:

  • Short films. Short films are often shot and edited to look like film. This gives them a more professional and cinematic look.
  • Music videos. Music videos are another type of video that often has a filmic look. This helps to create a more immersive and engaging experience for the viewer.
  • Documentary films. Documentary films can also be shot and edited to look like film. This helps to give the viewer a sense of realism and authenticity.

With a little practice, you can use Adobe Premiere Pro to make your videos look like film.
