In the Effect Controls panel, find the Track Matte Key effect and set the Matte to Video 3. Apply the Track Matte Key effect to the clip on video track 2. Add different footage clips to video track 1 and video track 2 (one directly above the other.) Next, add a bokeh overlay onto video track 3, above the other clips. You can also use the Track Matte Key effect to create some cool вЂњdouble exposureвЂќ bokeh looks. Track Matte Footage for Double Exposure Effects In the Effect Controls panel, find the Track Matte Key effect on the bokeh overlay, and set the Matte to Video 2. Apply the effect Track Matte Key to the bokeh overlay clip. Next, add your text to video track 2 - directly above the bokeh overlay. Add a bokeh overlay to your sequence on video track 1.

You can track matte the bokeh overlays over text for some unique looks. You can then set all of the keyframes to Bezier to smooth them out. Invert the values on the footage clip, so the Camera Blur starts at 40 andВ stops at 0. Now, on the footage clip, add keyframes at the exact same time-locations as the bokeh overlay. Next, on the bokeh clip, keyframe the Camera Blur from 0 to 40, over a few seconds. Reset the Camera Blur values to 0 for both clips. In order to simulate a rack focus effect, first apply the Camera Blur effect to your footage and to a bokeh overlay above your footage. This will help break up any unwanted color banding. Next, add a Noise effect and set the Amount of Noise to 4%. After you apply Gaussian Blur to a bokeh overlay, set the blurriness to 1,000 and set the blending mode to Linear Dodge (Add). You can blur the bokeh overlays with a Gaussian Blur effect to simulate the look of light leaks on your footage. Hue curve up and down to offset the hue color for the bokeh overlay. Apply Lumetri Color, then navigate to the Curves options, and find Hue vs. You can easily change the color of the bokeh overlays using the Lumetri Color effect. Other great uses would be overlaying them on motion graphics to add some realism, or over slideshow images for some secondaryВ movement. This works similar to a lens flare effect. (They work really well over product shots with a shallow depth of field.) The bokeh overlays will show up best on footage with a darker background, but you can also use them on daylight exterior footage. Traditionally, you will see bokeh overlays associated with luxury products, such as jewelry, high-end cars, or beauty products. You can experiment with different blending modes, but the two most common are Screen and Linear Dodge (Add). Under the Opacity section, you will see Blend Mode. Select the bokeh overlay, and then navigate to the Effect Controls for that clip. First, add your footage to a sequence, then add one of the bokeh overlays above your footage.

You can use various blending modes to overlay these bokeh effects over your footage. Ready to check it all out? LetвЂ™s get started!

(DonвЂ™t have Premiere Pro? DonвЂ™t worry, you can use any video editor.) All of the bokeh overlays are 4K, filmed in-camera, using real glass prisms for natural results. In this tutorial, weвЂ™ll look at all the different creative ways we can use these bokeh overlays in Premiere Pro. RocketStock recently released a new freebie pack - 35 Free Prism Bokeh Overlay Effects. In this video tutorial, learn some creative new ways to use RocketStockвЂ™s FREE Prism Bokeh Overlays pack in Premiere Pro!
