Much like After Effects and Photoshop, users can now add custom guides to the Program Monitor. Let\u2019s take a step-by-step look at how to create a custom overlay setup for exporting square videos to social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RewblAw6z1A?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Step 1 \u2014 Turn on Guides and Rulers<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"How to Perfectly Position Your Content in Premiere Pro 2019 - Guides and Rulers\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/5b24067b023ac6c2ed94701354e969ae.png\" alt=\"How to Perfectly Position Your Content in Premiere Pro 2019 - Guides and Rulers\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before I start creating custom guides for my Program Monitor, I first need to turn them on so I can see them. For this, I\u2019ll select <strong>View &gt; View Guides<\/strong> and <strong>View &gt; Show Rulers<\/strong>. To avoid constantly jumping up into the View menu, I\u2019ll add shortcut buttons. To add them, I\u2019ll click on the Button Editor (plus sign) at the bottom right of the panel, then simply drag the two buttons over to add them.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2 \u2014 Add Custom Guides<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"How to Perfectly Position Your Content in Premiere Pro 2019 - Custom Guides\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/43aae2e3ffef17f704e13fdbf47da5c3.png\" alt=\"How to Perfectly Position Your Content in Premiere Pro 2019 - Custom Guides\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the features (I absolutely love) about the new guides is that you can position them precisely via a pixel or percent value. To add a square value, I\u2019ll need to perform some basic math. If I\u2019m editing in a 1920\u00d71080 format, then I\u2019ll want to add vertical guides to measure 1080 between them, from the center of the frame. For this, I\u2019ll simply subtract 1920\u00d71080, which will give me 840 pixels. Now, I\u2019ll divide by two. This will give me the distance of each guide from the outer edges (420 pixels).<\/p>\n<p>To add a guide, I\u2019ll go to <strong>View &gt; Add Guide<\/strong>, or simply right-click on the ruler. In the <em>Add Guide<\/em> dialogue box, I can now create two guides. I\u2019ll simply put the position at 420 pixels, making sure that the orientation is set to vertical, then create one set to the left and the next to the right. Finally, I\u2019ll add a few additional guides so I can see the upper and lower thirds, as well as the center of the frame. For these, I can use basic percent values \u2014 such as 50 and 33.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3 \u2014 Position Your Elements<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"How to Perfectly Position Your Content in Premiere Pro 2019 - Position Elements\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/74c99510f52a43a0d06417516a41aa05.png\" alt=\"How to Perfectly Position Your Content in Premiere Pro 2019 - Position Elements\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time to position my elements. To make sure I don\u2019t accidentally move one of my guides, I\u2019ll select <strong>View &gt; Lock Guides<\/strong>. Next, I\u2019ll bring in my video clips, as well as any graphic elements. To perfectly position items, I\u2019ll turn on snapping via <strong>View &gt; Snap<\/strong> in Program Monitor. If I\u2019m not happy with any of the guides, I can unlock them and simply drag them off screen.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4 \u2014 Save and Share<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"How to Perfectly Position Your Content in Premiere Pro 2019 - Save and Share\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/70f46875600321c48126cce41f8cd833.png\" alt=\"How to Perfectly Position Your Content in Premiere Pro 2019 - Save and Share\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019d like to reuse this setup for future use, I\u2019ll go to <strong>View &gt; Guide Templates &gt; Save Guides<\/strong> as Template. To rename, import, or export templates, I\u2019ll go to <strong>View &gt; Guide Templates &gt; Manage Guides<\/strong>. This can be extremely useful if I\u2019m working on a team and we need to position branding elements. It helps keep everything uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I think of it, how did users perfectly position elements prior to this release?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro, you can put your graphics and video elements exactly where you want them \u2014 with new Rulers and Guides.
