ASSIGNMENT
Time to put those direct-to-camera messages to work! Using what we went over in this week’s course, your assignment is to edit your direct-to-camera footage using the templates created for you. The link to your customized template was shared with you via Google Drive, and as always, the password for the above video was included in this week’s email. Export your final video using H.264 and “match source,” and then add it to the Facebook group.
Let me know if you run into any issues. If something isn’t working right for you (remember - it may ask you to reconnect media), please give me a call. My cell is in your email.
HELPFUL LINKS
Reminder that “copy and paste” is your friend. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. “Undo” (Ctrl + Z) is also your friend, don’t be afraid to try things, you can always go back.
Adobe Premiere can be a lot easier to use when you become familiar with keyboard shortcuts. Check out this link to some of the most common and helpful keys when editing.
Google is a useful tool when you run into any editing issues. Just search the problem you’re having: “how to import video in premiere,” “change size of video clip in premiere” and you’ll get an answer most of the time. For the times when you can’t find an answer, call me.
During this session, we also talked about sites where you can license music for your projects. It varies by price and quality, but here are a few sites you can check out first: Premium Beat, Pond 5, and Envato.
For consistent file management, please download the program Post Haste, and drag the template shared with you through Google Drive into the program. I think you'll find this super helpful. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
