This is to create an effect when someone thinks about his past in a video in adobe premiere


1. in the main layer just place a simple scene in which ur hero or wateva is just still n thinking like this



2. now the area around the character is not so important so apply feather on it. it should be in amount according to the area your character occupies on scene.

3. now in a new layer add your scenes of past. use blend settings of crossfade n transparency.. i cant specify these settings as they purely depend on scene content

4. u can use 1 more layer 4 scenes of past blended with 2nd layer as this may give an extremely nice effect if things in scenes are not messed up... it wil be like this



this effect will not work out in a pik...as its a video and the motion is not visible..still u can see what i m doing

4. now increase the speed of past scenes to very high n in background apply suitable music...like the one used in movies in scenes like these..

ENJOY..!
