Applying the Paper Texture to the Drawing


For this step, we'll use one of the Premiere Elements effects that don't work just on the clip/track that you apply it to, but which also require somethingin this case an imageon another track working in tandem in order for the effect to work. We've already added our "paper." By applying the Texturize effect and pointing it to the track where the "paper" is, we'll be able to add the illusion that the "pencil sketch" has been "drawn" on paper.

Texturizing Puts the Picture on Paper

Click the Effects and Transitions button to switch to the Effects and Transitions view on the Media panel, if it's not already visible.

Type texturize in the text box on the Effects and Transitions view.

Select the Texturize effect from the Stylize subfolder of the Video Effects folder and drag and drop it onto the pencil_house.avi clip in the Video 1 track.

On the Properties panel, click the triangle next to the Texturize effect. (Be sure that the pencil_house.avi clip is selected.)

From the Texture Layer drop down, select Video 2. Leave all of the other settings as is.

Back on the Timeline, right-click on the drawingpaper.bmp clip in the Video 2 track and from the contextual menu, uncheck Enable to disable the clip.

Important

The Texturize effect won't take effect until the clip with the texture has been disabled.

The clip before texturizing. Notice that the white areas appear smooth.

The clip after texturizing. Notice that the white areas, especially in the sky, now have a textured appearance.
