WEEK 3 | Thu: 7/25 D.O.

AM:

• Discussion about updates/changes today for use at the exhibition tomorrow…
• A couple of extra tutorials for you:
  • Setting up a Home Darkroom (a couple of you were interested in this)…
  • Adobe Camera Raw Tutorials (We ran out of time!): One  |  Two  |  Two  |  Three |  Best ones are on on Lynda.com: this, this, and their general camera raw lessons
• Adobe Premiere Pro / Part III –> EXPORT YOUR VIDEOS:
  How to export your videos using Apple Pro Res 422 compression — these must be 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps. You will bring your final version to me on a drive by tomorrow at 3:50pm so that I can put them on a reel for you; it’ll play during the exhibition.
  Two Tutorials: ONE  |  TWO
  .
  As I showed you in class: Click “File” –> “Export” –> “Media”
  .
  Here are the export settings:
  • Click the output filename and make sure you name it something so you know it’s your high res export. You may also want to put it in an “Exports” folder. I usually name it “___1080p_HighRes” (something like that).
  • Under the “Video” Tab, make sure the Video Codec is “Apple Pro Res 422”
  • Under “Basic Video Settings” make sure you click “Match Source” and that it says “1920×1080” below it.
  • Click “Queue”
  • It’ll open Adobe Media Encoder.
  • In there, click the file and then click the little green triangle so it starts encoding.
• ALSO: Each of you should create your own free Vimeo account. It only allows for under 500mb for the file upload with the free account. Create the upload version by doing all the same steps above except for under the Video” Tab, make sure, instead of “Apple Pro Res 422” it says, “H.264” and then under “Basic Video Settings” un-click the little box next to the height and width of the project (“under Match Source”). Then next to height where it says, “1080px”, click 1080 and change it to 720. Then hit return. Then follow the rest of the steps. That’s your small Vimeo export version. You may be able to create one that is 1080—just depends whether it’s under 500mb. If you pay for an account you can definitely upload a higher res version.

PM:

• Load projects for critique on the instructor’s computer for critique (afternoon room)!
• 1:00pm / Critique with Andy Schocken: Final Videos!!!
• Discussion about getting your other assignments in by next Wednesday (I’ll explain).
• ARTIST’S STATEMENTS + Exhibit info listing (I have received several, but not all)…

Cue: Dance Party!!
