How to Edit VIRAL HOOKS Reels in Premiere Pro 2024

Education

Introduction

Welcome back, everyone! In today's tutorial, we'll cover how to create viral hooks or even simple hooks in Premiere Pro for your short-form content. But before diving in, a little bit about me: I’m Crispe, and I run the Takeover shop where I offer editing assets and presets for content creators like you. Let's get started!

Step 1: Preparing Your Footage

First, open your footage in Premiere Pro. Color grade it, add audio fixes, and ensure it looks basic but clean. For today’s example, I’m using a simple clip of me pretending to talk for content purposes. Here’s a tip: if you're struggling for content ideas, sometimes a little acting can go a long way.

Step 2: Adding Graphics and Text

Start by adding text and graphics. For example, if I'm talking about copycats, I would type "people have always copied me." Center your text using the Essential Graphics tab.

I like using the Akira font, but you can choose any that suits your style. Duplicate the text layer, change the font for the copied version, and add shadows for a more impactful look.

Adding Icons

If you want to add icons, drag and drop an icon onto your footage. Resize it and place it where you want. Right-click and Nest the icon to avoid affecting future animations.

Step 3: Animating the Graphics

Now, it’s time to animate. I usually drag and drop my custom presets. For instance, apply a "slide in up" effect staggered for different elements. Cut all layers at the end point of the hook and add a subtle shake effect for emphasis.

Step 4: Enhancing with Blending Modes and Glow Effects

For a cool effect, go to the blend mode under the opacity settings of the top text layer and select 'difference' to create a unique visual variation. Add a glow effect to the "copied" text by duplicating the layer and applying a glow preset.

Step 5: Camera Movement and Advanced Effects

To make the content more dynamic, add camera movement using an adjustment layer. Apply a preset like "smooth zoom in." You can tweak it to last longer or be more impactful at the start.

Additional Animation

For an animated entry, use the transform tool on an adjustment layer to create a zoom-in effect at the video’s start. Fine-tune the curve for a smooth animation.

Step 6: Creating Reusable Templates

To make your workflow efficient, save your hook as a reusable template. Create a new sequence, adjust the settings to 1080x1920, and paste your hook. Save your project as a template through the Project Manager for future use.

Step 7: Adding Final Touches and Exporting

Add a transition overlay by importing your preferred overlay and setting its blend mode to 'screen.' Duplicate and place it at the beginning of your footage.

Finally, export your finished video and enjoy your professional-looking viral hook!
