Premiere pro blurred background edit
Behind the scenes - Premiere pro editing
These are some screenshot of my work that I was doing on premiere pro. The task was to make a blurred background on a portrait image and also to zoom into an image. I made a fade in at the start of my edit and also a fade out at the end. To make those edits I used a lot of keyframes to make it so that the image was able to zoom into it self. Key frames are just points that you can put on a video which will allow you to change the size of an image, rotate it, make it fade in or out.
To make my blurred image edit i went to effects section on premiere pro and searched for an effect called ''Fast blur''. Then I dragged the effect on the image I wanted to blur and turned up the blur setting.
