Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
I'm going to show you how to create this cinematic,

0:00:16.580,0:00:20.340
deep space, stargate from scratch.

0:00:24.300,0:00:29.080
Create a new document by going to File and New.

0:00:29.980,0:00:39.360
Make the Width: 1550 pixels, the Height: 870 pixels
and the Resolution: 150 pixels per inch. The

0:00:39.370,0:00:46.550
Mode is RGB and 8 bits per channel. Then,
click OK or press Enter or Return.

0:00:49.120,0:00:53.180

0:00:53.180,0:00:54.960
press "D" on your keyboard.

0:00:55.680,0:01:02.040
We'll fill the canvas with black by pressing Alt + Delete on Windows or Option + Delete on a Mac.

0:01:04.520,0:01:10.260
Make a copy of your Background
by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J. We'll place the

0:01:10.270,0:01:17.790
copy into a folder by pressing Ctrl or Cmd
+ G. Click the thumbnail of "Layer 1" to make

0:01:17.790,0:01:25.040
it active. Click the foreground color, which
opens the Color Picker. In the Brightness

0:01:25.040,0:01:32.360
field, type in 15. This will make the foreground
color a very dark, grey. Then, click OK.

0:01:33.480,0:01:37.640
Go to Filter, Render and Clouds.

0:01:39.600,0:01:42.800
We're going to stretch the clouds horizontally. To do

0:01:42.800,0:01:47.860
this, open your Transform Tool by pressing
Ctrl or Cmd + T.

0:01:49.200,0:01:54.120
At the top, you'll see the percentages of the Transform's Width and Height.

of your document. To crop them off, press
Ctrl or Cmd + A to select the width and height

0:02:12.959,0:02:21.299

Repeat the Filter by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + F

0:02:57.960,0:03:04.300
and then, repeat it one more time. Next,
we'll frame it to the same aspect ratio of

0:03:04.309,0:03:11.230
a wide-screen, movie. Go to View and make
sure Rulers and Snap are checked. If they

0:03:11.230,0:03:12.990
aren't just click on them.

0:03:14.960,0:03:22.960
Open your Crop Tool and for the Width, type in 2.66 and the Height: 1.

0:03:28.880,0:03:30.580
Go to the ruler at the top

0:03:31.000,0:03:35.360
