Conan O'Brian 'Lips' Video Editing Tutorial for Premiere
 

Learn how to make the lips in photos "talk" with some clever editing in Adobe Premiere. This specific FX has been used numerous times on the Conan O'Brian talk shows in the past decade. It's really easy to do, and takes only minimal knowledge of Premiere.

NOTE 1: Tutorial source. This comes from the Wrigley Video site (wrigleyvideo.com), which appears to be offline now. I hope it's just temporary, not permanent. (Update: It's sadly permanent.) However, that's the downside of the Internet -- when a site goes, all the information tends be lost. Unlike paper libraries. I downloaded the video many years ago, when I was still learning Premiere. It's a good thing I kept a copy of it.

NOTE 2: Adobe Premiere versions. This was made specifically for an older version of Adobe Premiere. However, the information still applies today, on Adobe Premiere CS3, CS4 and CS5. Learn the methodology shown here -- it's not meant for "monkey see, monkey do". Some of the referenced menus and tools have been moved around a bit in the past 10 years, but they are still around. Read the Adobe Help file if you get lost. I've referenced this video myself a lot in past years, as I don't use this technique often. I've had no issues applying the techniques in Premiere CS3.

Happy editing. :):thumb:
