Applying a Ghostly Effect


For this task, we'll be applying the aptly-named "Ghosting" effect from the set of available video effects in Premiere Elements. This effect creates a shadowy echo of the ghost as he moves about the room. It's a subtle effect, with no controllable parameters, but it gives our project, in an instant, just the right additional creepy touch.

Use the "Ghosting" Video Effect

Select the Effects and Transitions button on the Media panel to switch to the Effects and Transitions view.

In the text box on the Effects and Transitions view, type ghost.

Drag the Ghosting effect from the Blur & Sharpen section of Video Effects and drop it on the ghost.avi clip in the Video 2 track.

Did You Know?

There' s really nothing to it. The Ghosting effect is one of the few video effects in Premiere Elements with absolutely no controls whatsoever. If you look at the effect on the Properties panel (a section of which is shown below), there's not even the triangle available for showing/hiding effect controls.
