In this video tutorial I show you a few different methods for creating a custom vignette border effect inside Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

The first method I cover was found online and is fast and simple, but doesn’t give much flexibility whatsoever. If you are simply looking for a feathered black circle around your video, the first method is for you.

If you’re like me and like to control the exact shape of your vignette border, skip ahead to 2:40. I spent a good amount of time playing around with premiere to come up with this method and I’m happy to say it works quite well for the desired custom vignette effect. Method 2 is a bit more advanced, but it gives you so much more control over the final look of the vignette.

I really hope this video tutorial I put together explaining how to make a custom vignette border inside of Adobe Premiere Pro really helps you out. I will be posting many new tutorials in the future, so be sure to let me know if you have any special requests. You can do so by simply leaving a comment down below.

For now just sit back, relax, and learn how to create unique custom vignettes inside adobe premier pro for use in your own video productions.
