Building a brand takes work; if you want viewers to recognize your logo, it’s important to include it in practically all of your marketing materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to add a logo <\/strong>in Adobe Premiere Pro<\/strong>, whether you’re featuring it in the intro to your video or as a watermark. In this tutorial, we’ll cover three key logo techniques:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How to create a logo intro from a template<\/li>
  2. How to add a logo overlay<\/li>
  3. How to use a logo as a watermark<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. How to Add a Logo Intro in Adobe Premiere Pro from a Template<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    First, let’s review how to create a logo-centric reveal. For this section, We are going to use a template from Envato Elements called\u00a0Flat Logo Opener<\/a>. Pre-built templates make it easy to just drop in your logo.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once you download the template, double click to open it in Adobe Premiere<\/strong>. Then, find the layer labeled\u00a0Your Logo.\u00a0<\/strong>Double click on it to open this composition up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Once you’re in the Your Logo <\/strong>composition, you need to add a logo to the timeline. Browse to your logo file, then drag-and-drop it onto the timeline. In this template, we need to grab the right handle and pull it to about the 10-second mark so that the logo covers the template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One tip<\/strong>: you might need to click on the logo and scale: click and drag the corner to resize it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    That’s it! Jump back to the Render_Me! <\/strong>layer and play the preview to see an updated animation that includes your logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    You could also continue to customize this by opening the layer labeled Flat Logo Opener. <\/strong>At this point, it requires a bit more knowhow to customize the colors and shapes, so it’s best to choose a template that matches your style if you’re a beginner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For an intro that focuses on a logo, using a template is the best method. It helps you avoid creating animations from scratch that simply take too long. Consider one of the templates from Envato Elements<\/a> to bring a logo to life, quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. How to Add a Logo Overlay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A logo overlay stays on top of your video and persists. This is perfect if you just want to add your branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Make sure to add your logo to a layer above your video clip. Then, pull the logo’s handle to the right on the timeline to cover the duration of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    After you place your logo, you might notice that it’s too large or out of position versus what you had in mind. Find the tab labeled Effect Controls <\/strong>near the upper left corner (when working in the Editing <\/strong>workspace.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    On the Effect Controls <\/strong>panel, start by scaling the logo to your ideal size. Use the scale slider, then pull it to the left to reduce the size or the right to increase it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then, use the Position <\/strong>sliders to reposition it. Click and drag the two numeric values for pixel positions on the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    That’s it! At the end, you’ve placed a logo overlay like the one you see in the screenshot above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. How to Use Your Logo as a Watermark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    One twist on a logo overlay is a watermark. <\/strong>This is a more present, but faded logo overlay style. Use a watermark when you want to protect your brand’s intellectual property or for draft copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With your logo layer selected, find the Opacity <\/strong>dropdown on the Effect Controls <\/strong>option. Then, pull the opacity down to fade it. Watermarks should be visible but not overly obstructive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Typically, watermark overlays cover most or all of the canvas. I adjusted the Scale <\/strong>and Position <\/strong>options to enlarge the logo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
