Harlem Shake Editing

Complete the directions below and refer to the rubric and example

1. If you did not already, create a new folder called Harlem Shake in your CA Google Drive folder and move all video files that you shot on your own.
2. Download the Harlem Shake audio file that is attached in the Schoology directions.
3. Open your video in Quicktime and go to File > Export > 720p is not available then choose 480p. Name the video 720pYourName. This will optimize the size of your videos for editing so they won't be too big and cause your computer to slow down in the rendering process.
4. Follow the video tutorial directions. In each of your video layers, hide the audio icon on the left side of each layer except for the Harlem Shake audio layer.
5. If the lighting obviously does not match (ask Mr. Heil) or your hands get cut off, you will need to film it again during this class instead of editing and then turn it in for a late grade.
6. When editing in AE, change your view preview from "Auto" to "Quarter" like the example below so that the video will play and preview more smoothly. When you export, this will not effect the quality, only the preview on the screen when editing.

1. Line up your four video clips so that after about 15.5 seconds when the lyrics say, "Do the Harlem Shake" then there is a beat, all four need to dance at the same time on that same beat. Make sure they match on the same beat.
2. If your video is not straight and tilted slightly, select all of the layers and press r for rotate and rotate and increase the scale to fill in any black parts so that it is straight.
3. When finished render the video as H.264 (it may take a long time to render).

1. Take one screenshot showing yourself on the screen four times and export the video.
2. Post the video and screenshot to Schoology.

do not do:

You will be given one hour of class time to complete the assignment which is plenty of time if you are familiar with AE from the tutorials you completed and your notes. This is a review and assessing if you learned the material and may use notes, YT tutorials, or Google search.
