It seems to be pretty popular (even more than the Vignette) and has gone through a few iterations already, each one adding new functionality. So, without further ado – here’s the Feathered Crop effect that I’ve written. Drawing on my background of a would-be computer scientist, physicist, and – of course – video editor, I decided to delve into the dreaded Premiere Pro/After Effects SDK, and created the effect myself. Not because the guys from Adobe actually decided to focus their efforts on this non-critical, although pretty non-complicated, task. How many of you have fallen prey to the hope that “feather edges” effect would actually work as it should with cropped footage? Or wished for more control than blurring the alpha channel via the “channel blur”? Or used titler or photoshop pictures as track mattes?įortunately, there’s no more need for this.
I know that I’ve been waiting for Adobe to make it since I started using their software, which means version 6.5 of Premiere (not yet “Pro” then). I think the idea of feathered edges on a piece of footage that was cropped with standard Premiere Pro crop effect is as old, as the crop effect itself.
