Turning Into a Giant with Premiere Pro or After Effects

In this tutorial, we will show you two ways to create the effect of turning into a giant using Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects. Follow these steps to achieve this impressive visual effect.

Using Adobe Premiere Pro

The easiest way to become a giant in your footage is by using Premiere Pro. Here’s how:

**Step 1: Prepare Your Footage**
  1. Record your footage from a low angle to get the right perspective for the giant effect. Make sure the giant moves slower than normal to enhance the effect.
  2. Import your footage into Adobe Premiere Pro and create a new sequence.


**Step 2: Slow Down Your Footage**
  1. Select your footage in the timeline.
  2. Go to **Clip** > **Speed/Duration** and lower the frame rate to slow down the footage, making the movements appear more giant-like.


**Step 3: Position and Mask Your Giant**
  1. Add your giant footage to the video layer in your sequence.
  2. Use the **Opacity** mask to blend your giant into the background, ensuring it looks natural in the scene.
  3. Adjust the position and scale of your giant footage as needed to enhance the effect.


**Step 4: Final Adjustments**
  1. Review your composition and make any necessary adjustments to the timing and positioning of the giant footage.
  2. Export your final composition by going to **File** > **Export** > **Media** and choosing the appropriate settings.


Using Adobe After Effects

For a more advanced and polished giant effect, use Adobe After Effects. Here’s how:

**Step 1: Import and Prepare Your Footage**
  1. Import your footage into Adobe After Effects and create a new composition.
  2. Record your footage from a low angle, ensuring the giant moves slower than normal.


**Step 2: Rotoscope Your Giant**
  1. Use the **Roto Brush Tool** to separate your giant from the background. Carefully trace around your subject and refine the edges to get a clean rotoscope.
  2. Ensure the rotoscope follows the movement of your subject throughout the entire footage.


**Step 3: Position and Scale Your Giant**
  1. Position your rotoscoped giant in the composition.
  2. Adjust the scale and position to make your subject appear giant in the scene.
  3. Use keyframes to animate the position and scale if necessary.


**Step 4: Blend and Enhance the Effect**
  1. Use effects like **Blur** and **Shadow** to blend your giant seamlessly into the scene.
  2. Apply color correction to match the lighting and color of your giant with the background.
  3. Minimize noise and adjust other settings to ensure a polished final look.


**Step 5: Final Adjustments and Rendering**
  1. Review your composition and make any necessary adjustments to the giant effect.
  2. Render and export your final composition by going to **Composition** > **Add to Render Queue** and choosing the appropriate settings.


By following these steps, you can create a convincing giant effect using either Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe After Effects. For a detailed, step-by-step guide, watch the full video tutorial.
