This is something I did at work today. ...and this is why I love my job -- I work for Avid and I sit there everyday in front of this really amazing video editing application.
I've been transfered back to the video division (from the 3D one) early this year and so I need to learn to use the applications again, hence "use them and edit something".
So I got this silly idea and I grabbed a big bunch of motivational posters and... well, there you go.
Motivation; The Movie. Before you get real excited, there's a few things I need to say...
- I couldn't use all the posters because I don't know how to crop and resize with the app yet, so I only grabbed the ones that were the same size. I realized afterwards that one of the portrait images slipped in there, it wasn't supposed to. Eh... Sincere apologies to everyone whose images didn't make it in because of that. I didn't actually mean to cut images out of this!
- Some images I couldn't download when I was checking out the thread this afternoon. Some looked like broken icons. I'm sorry about leaving those out too, there really isn't much I could do.
- the images don't stay up long (about 3 seconds each), cause there are soooo many! The clip lasts 5 minutes, so anyone good with math should be able to figure out how many I put in there.
- the captions are hard to read... and the image is small. That's YouTube for you, cause the original movie is bigger than that (640x480) it is however somewhere above 20 megs. If anyone wants that file, I can put it somewhere for you.
- I did this on one of the most advanced video editing applications you can get your hands on, but I only had an hour and I hadn't touched this app in 2 years, so... don't expect miracles. This isn't Movie Maker where there's an "auto movie" option, I did all this by hand - not that there's much to it, but every single transition was added manually and all that.
...Yes, I know I'm totally short changing myself with all these notes. I just don't want anyone to go see this expecting something insanely wonderful, because it's just this silly little thing that I did because I needed to work with the application. And cause the first thing I thought of doing when she gave me this assignment was something L&C related.
