Embedded Files
This is the specs we used for the Old Streets project
Your specs will be different but this may be a guide for exporting your final AR Videos and all of the checking that will be required to test and complete the files.
Check with Professor Bonner that your specs are correct for your projects, having too large a file can be detrimental to the loading speed.
Go to the example AR Video Specificications for the Old Streets Game
Export from your animation Software:
Export from your animation Software:

Open the After Effects Template file.
Replace the AR Bust/OSA_AugR_TargetV4-Template footage with your png sequence. (This is a sample from Old Streets yours will be different)
Replace the audio file with your audio.
Update all captions keyframes with the correct text and move them to match your audio timing.
Add 2 seconds of pause at the beginning and end (your first and last frame should be identical).
Adjust the mask in the AR Bust Animation layer as needed. (This is a sample from Old Streets yours will be different)
If your png sequence has color, use a Hue/Sat color effect to desaturate it.
Apply Curves to your AR Bust Animation layer to achieve a very high contrast appearance (see style guide and finished examples).
Export your video from After Effects:
Choose File > Export > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue...
Wait for Media Encoder to open and link to the After Effects document (may take a few minutes).
Once your project adds to the Media Encoder Queue, rename the Output File to: CharacterLastName-AR-Video.mp4
Click the small green arrow in the upper-right to render the final MP4 video file.
