Module 15 wrap-up

The tips and tricks to publishing a quality .mov file from Flash:

1. Change your fps to 12. This means you will have to bring the final .mov into a video editing program and speed it back up to 200%. Video editing programs, such as iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, are the best way to add sound as well, so I recommend deleting any audio tracks from Flash and laying them down again in the editing program.

2. Make sure you have enough frames out in Scene 1-- if you only have one frame, the .mov will only record a split second.

3. Under the export settings, enter the length of your video, instead of stopping "when last frame is reached"

4. Consider buying an affordable video screen recorder, such as Screenium, for $30.

Great job this semester everyone, I hope you are proud of everything you accomplished and learned! Stay tuned for a link to our final Girl Talk interactive music video.

Module 14 wrap-up

Your animations are off to a great start everyone, I hope you enjoy editing to music even more now that you have these trimmed clips :)

I would really love to see everyone animate the colors and motions of their spotlights if they haven't already; it's optional, of course, but i think it would look really great.

If you would like to use your estimated audio clip of Oh No, I have trimmed and named them for you here:

Tonight we went over importing .flv videos into a movie clip, and also advanced motion tweening with the Motion Editor.

A video tutorial on Motion Editor in CS4 (pretty much the same)

For now, leave out the video of SF while you animate, for it slows down the program and I don't want your file to crash!

I did preview it and it looks awesome with the video inside, great job so far class :)
