LESSON 19
Using Photoshop and After Effects to Enhance Your Video Projects
6
Select the film reel/lower third clip, and expand the Motion fixed effect in the 
Effect Controls panel. Set a Position keyframe just after one second, at about 
00;00;01;10. Change the Position value to –360, 240. Set another keyframe 
at 00;00;01;20 by changing the value of this position keyframe to 360, 240. This 
will animate the logo off the left side of the frame at the beginning of the clip.
7
Play the sequence. You can adjust the speed the logo travels by moving the 
second keyframe farther from or closer to the first keyframe. Experiment with 
this until you have the speed you desire. Also set the Ease In option on the 
second keyframe as you did on the background clip motion.
8
The text of the lower third should follow the logo so you can copy the logo’s 
animation and paste it in the text clip. Select the Logo/lower-third clip, click 
Motion, and choose Edit > Copy.
9
Select the Behind the Scene/lower third clip, click a blank area inside the Video 
Effects panel, and choose Edit > Paste.
The animation of the sequence is complete. The only step left is to superimpose 
this lower third over the interview clip.
10
Create a new DV – NTSC Widecreen 48 kHz sequence by choosing File > New 
Sequence. Name it Practice.
11
Drag the Behind_the_Scenes_SD.avi clip to the Video 1 track of the Timeline, 
and press the backslash (\) key to expand the view in the Timeline.
12
Drag the lower third sequence you just animated to the Video 2 track above 
the writers 1 clip. Adjust the position of the lower third so it starts about one 
second after the interview clip starts.
13
To polish it all off, drop a Cross Dissolve transition on the end of the lower third 
sequence clip.
The lower third animation sequence references the original Photoshop file. So 
if you change the original Photoshop file, the changes will ripple through any 
instances where it was used in Adobe Premiere Pro. For example, you might 
open the lower third.psd file in Photoshop and change the background or 
text color. When you save the Photoshop file, the changes will immediately be 
reflected wherever that file was used in Adobe Premiere Pro.
