Embedded Files
Directions
Time
Your final video must be under 3min in duration; 1pt off per second outside these guidelines. There is no minimum as long as you meet all the requirements but your clips must be 3 seconds or less (except for time laps, which should be 6 seconds). It is better to have quality over quantity in terms of the time of your video.
Follow the directions for Google Drive. Then open your Google Drive CA folder on your desktop, not your Chrome browser, and create a new folder called City Cuts and inside the folder create the following folders:
- Music
- Good Clips
- Deleted Clips
Open Adobe Premiere (which you will use to edit the video) and create a new project file and name it City Cuts First Last Name and choose the location to be inside the City Cuts folder.
Watch the Adobe Premiere tutorial (notice the bullet list of changes below, which you do not have to write down) to learn how to edit clips and as you watch the video, practice each of these editing techniques from the video with your City Cuts' footage if you have it or with any video clips you shot for CA anytime this year. Make sure you take good notes on this video for a future quiz and so you know how to edit videos with this program. Your notes will be checked at the end of class for a stamp; if you don't get a stamp at the end of today's class you will not earn additional points on your quiz, unless you were absent.
In the new version of Premiere, note these changes in the video:
- 4:16 the shortcut * is not for adding markers, the shortcut is m
- 8:21 No white markers
- 8:33 Cannot show head or tail
- 10:55 Razer tool is in the middle bottom, the tool bar is in a different place because the default place has been changed
- 12:49 No reset workspace, only reset to saved layout
View the different editing methods in the red rectangle below to see the different views you have to edit and select the one most comfortable.
When you import your footage, you can find your clips using the following:
When you are finished watching the video tutorial, take a screenshot of your timeline showing that you edited some of your video clips.
MusicYou will need to choose a song with good beats that will enable you to change the clips on the beat as much as possible like this NY example. You will choose your music before you start editing. You need to try to find a music track to use as your background (any genre) that does not have any lyrics. If you are not sure what music to use, you can try using the following since it is for educational purposes and not profit. You will only need part of a song to make the time requirement. Use these resources to find your music.Once you find your music, go to Adobe Premiere and press cmd + i and select your song, which will load into Premiere at the top left and then drag it onto your "Audio 2" layer on the timeline (middle bottom). Do the same thing for one of your clips and drag it to "Video 1" it on the timeline at the beginning.
Watch the video tutorial and place your markers on the beats of the song. If you think your song beats are too fast or too slow, change your song to get one that will work well. After you place your markers, double click on the markers with significantly stronger beats or transitional beats to the song and change the color to Chapter Markers.
Take a screenshot of your timeline like the image below with the markers and some of the real or practice footage you used to edit according to the video tutorial with the music preview and post to Schoology.
For future reference, in Premiere if you ever lose your timeline you can recover it with this video tutorial (only watch it if you lose your timeline; no need to take notes).
Do not do:
Create a new project in Premiere and watch the video tutorial starting at about 10:36 minutes to learn how to set it up and edit your footage inside the wide screen but instead of using the project dimension of 2560 x 1080, divide that in half again and use 1280 x 540.
At the top you will see a General tab, choose "Desktop" for the editing mode and in the Video Frame Size settings choose 1920 horizontal and 820 vertical.
After you save it, Adobe will create additional folders (e.g. Encoded Files, Preview Files) next to the project file that it will use to store needed system files for the project. Do not delete, move, or change these folders. Take a screenshot like the image below.
