Apply a vignette to achieve a look that is faded out at the edges, and bright at the center.
Vignettes are a subtle way to direct your audience’s eyes to a specific subject in the frame, such as a person or a landscape.
You can create vignettes in Premiere Pro in the following ways:
- Using the Vignette option in the Lumetri Color panel - a vignette created using this method creates a vignette that surrounds your frame. This is also the easiest way to create a vignette.
- Using masks - Creating a mask allows you to control the shape of the vignette and is very effective for adding drama for scenarios such as interviews.
Create a vignette that surrounds your frame
The Vignette controls in the Lumetri Color panel let you control the size, shape, and amount of lightening or darkening of the edges.
To create a vignette:
-
-
In the Vignette section of the Lumetri Color panel, adjust the following controls:
- Amount: Sets the amount of lightening or darkening along the edges of an image. Type a number in the box, or move the slider to gradually shade the clip. Move the slider to the left shifting your numbers to a negative value. This adds a vignette that surrounds your frame.
- Midpoint: Specifies the width of area affected by the Amount slider. Move the slider, or type a lower number to affect more of the image. Type a higher number to restrict the effect to the edges of the image.
- Roundness: Specifies the size (roundness) of the vignette. Negative values cause an exaggerated vignette effect, and positive values cause a less visible vignette.
- Feather: Defines the edge of the vignette. A smaller value creates a harder, sharper edge. A larger value creates a softer, thicker edge.
Create a vignette using masks
Using masks allows you to control the shape of your vignette and achieve really dramatic effects.
-
Select a clip in the timeline.
-
From the Effects panel, drag the Brightness & Contrast effect on to your clip.
-
Decrease the brightness and contrast of the effect.
-
Draw a mask using the Pen tool, or use the Circle or Square shape masks in the Brightness & Contrast section of the Effect Controls panel.
-
After drawing the mask, select Inverted in the Effect Controls panel, so that the darker layer surrounds the masked subject.
-
Adjust feathering, mask opacity and mask expansion to adjust the vignette.
Use mask tracking to ensure that your mask automatically follows the subject.
