How do you take interesting footage and turn it into works of art? That\u2019s been a question I\u2019ve been asking for weeks as I diligently attempt to do so. With every angle done within each edit, I\u2019ve learn to polish the most difficult ones. \u00a0My last post I mention the critiques received from my supervisors and how helpful they were. Well this week I sat down for my first redo and I incorporated various things to make the footage I had better.\u00a0 I was working on a video for Dr. Paul Croce and what was 3 minutes became 1. Although my attempt was to get it to 20 seconds, by the time I added credits I ended up at 1 minute. I said to myself if this doesn\u2019t work I\u2019ll revisit, but I was pleased with the results. Now of course if I receive feedback saying fix I\u2019ll do so, but I honestly think this will work better.<\/p>\n
Now that I have a better hang of Adobe Premiere the redo process was relaxing. I still spent 8 hours editing, but I was constantly learning how to make things better. Earlier that day I met with Dr. Underriner to discuss my senior project and the tips he gave me for editing my music I also incorporated into videos. \u00a0He showed me how duplicating tracks, adding effects, and eq\u2019ing could make something empty sound full. A few weeks ago, he also showed me how to view my audio in Premiere over in Audition, and how normalizing and eq\u2019ing could make the audio for video better. So, with that in mind I attempted to get rid of excess noise and make my background music sound full and not tinny. \u00a0I\u2019m still grasping the concept of this, but it made the video better.<\/p>\n
One last thing I\u2019ve learned to do better in Adobe Premiere are the rolling credits. This was not easy for me because I couldn\u2019t get the keyframes right. Plus, in older versions of Premiere there were settings called rolling credits, but it was taken way in 2017\u2019s update; so, the process was different. Well after watching several YouTube videos I got the hang of it. Thankfully enough 2018\u2019s version has added it back and hopefully it will make creating rolling credits much easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
