Titles Workshop

One

This is an example of an Opening title, which means it is placed before the clip actually starts. You might use this kind of title when you want to know the title, give an introduction, or simply state a fact.


Two

This is an example of an Overlay title, which means it overlays the clip (title and clip play at the same time). You might use this kind of title when you have an interview and want to state the person's name and job title.


Three

This is an example of an Template title, which means that is a pre-prgrammed title that you only need to type your own information in. You might use this kind of title when you are short on time, are not very creative, or in a formal presentation of a video.

Lifting & Extracting Workshop

Extracting

A simple cut in the timeline means that there is a space/ gap in the timeline. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline are spacious.
A ripple edit is when you choose a clip to delete (or a portion of a clip) and all the clips that were after that clip move over to the left and fill the space that was leftover. You do this by choosing a clip to delete and the other clips automatically move over. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip shift to the left to fill the gap that the old clip was occupying.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut clips at one time. To do this, you set the in-points and out-points of the clips you want to remove. Lifting is like extracting and removing clips you don't like while extracting is like removing paerts you do not want, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of a deleting edit. I decided to edit the two clips where I did because the things that were in the clip were slightly unnecessary to the video.

Insert & Overlay Workshop

Overlay
This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip on top of a preexisting clip. To do this, you drag your new clip into the timeline on top of the preexisting clip . I decided to overlay the 2nd clip where I did because the place where I overlayed it made the scene a bit more dramatic and the horse was in a different place after the switch of clips. We formatted this video incorrectly; it is supposed to be in 48KHz Widescreen, a simple accident.


Insert

The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is an overlay is when a clip is placed on top of another clip that basically takes away the piece that the clipped was overlayed on. An insert is when you place a clip in between a preexisting clip, so it is similar to a pause
You would use an overlay in sports (football, racing, track,etc.), while you’d use an insert edit when you are trying to create a dramatic effect and pull away from the action at hand (relief). In this case the insert edit works better because the overlay edit is slighty awkward and takes away from the action at hand (horse-back riding). We formatted this video incorrectly; it is supposed to be in 48KHz Widescreen.

Baler Interviews 2011

I think that I have becme better at Editing and Creating videos with the help of George, Michelle, and Dr. Achterman. I did a fairly good job of creating this video on a time crunch because of the help I received. I'm happy with my final product of my video because it's very spontaneous, like me. Something I think I could work on is better timing of the clips (adjusting the in-point & out-point to be more precise). If i could do this project over, I might choose different video clips for a different emotion to be conveyed. On my next Project, I'll remember to save my project more often because people tend to forget and blame it on others. Next time, I would also like to ask for help a lot less, and work more independently.

One way I helped my partner (Michelle), was by arranging the videos in a sequence that was best suited for our clips. Michelle helped me by deciding which videos would be best to have in our video. On this project, I gained a greater understanding of how to edit clips by setting in-points & out-points in video clips. What helped me figure this out was by adjusting the frame to not have awkward silences in the beginning or ending of the clips. One challenge we faced was creating titles; that was the most difficult part for us because it was not a straight-forward process to complete. We overcame this by qasking others for help.

Overall, this was an extremely productive project.
