DAY 9

Today I found out that I have to fix the video as it didn't render with the intro I made and It also wasn't even close the the resolution I wanted. The whole class I took to render it out with the correct resolution and intro. I also figured out that I wanted to do Android App development for the next Independent thing.

DAY 8

Today I started uploading the hairshow video privately on youtube so noone could see it, and it was at the resolution of 360p which is really bad. I might just take tomorrow to find a way to upload it in hd.  I also researched on what I should do next in this class and I was thinking about doing Java language coding, but it seemed too complicated for me. I am considering doing App Developer for android.

DAY 7

Today I started to google some ways to export videos and files from Adobe Premiere Pro CC to try and upload it to youtube. I found some ways to export faster such as this one HERE. All I had to do was change some settings. After it gets ready to export, It opens up Adobe Encoder (It only does that if I pressed: add to render queue). While I was waiting for it to finish exporting, my computer for some reason froze. I think it was because Adobe Encoder was taking up a lot of the computer's resources. So I re-exported it and realized I didn't have enough time to upload the video to Youtube or anything.

DAY 6

Today I focused on finishing up the introduction title and Hairshow video all together. Once I exported the intro out of after effects, I imported it into Premiere and added it to the beginning of the video. I lined up all the clips and went to export it, when It said was going to take 2 hours. Usually it doesn't actually amount the the estimate, so I waited for it to export. After waiting most of the class, it turns out the estimated time was the real time, so I have to figure out how to export it faster.

DAY 5

Today I continued on what was left to do on the introduction title. I adjusted and customized a few things from the pre-made, downloaded intro. At the beginning of the intro, It shows a logo and says "Put logo here" so I searched up the ACSS totems logo and downloaded it from google images. I dragged the logo into After Effects, and tried to put it on the "Put logo here" layer. It turns out if I drag it into the timeline, it just creates it's own layer, so I don't know how else to do it. I decided that I am just going to cut the "Put logo here" out of the intro and keep the rest. So next class I can just add the intro to the video, and finally be done with it.

DAY 4

Today I continued searching throughout the many videos of youtube, and finally found a template that ACTUALLY works. I still haven't figured out why they didn't work before. This one is kinda cool, and has 3D particles in it which makes it a lot cooler. I went to the text layer and clicked on the text. To change the text, just click on where it is, and it'll allow you to change it to whatever you want it to. Then it takes a really long time to render, and I couldn't do much in the background due to the lag the rendering was producing.

DAY 3

Today I did a few touch ups on the hairshow video. I continued to search for Intro videos on Youtube. I found tons of intro videos that were really cool and had 3D particles and things like that. Though they weren't exactly suitable for the Hairshow video so I continue to search. I downloaded a few of the intros and most of them didn't actually work. It just showed a bunch of different colours instead of the actual intro. Though I managed to fix some of them but It only showed the text, not the 3D particles. I fixed it by deleting the layer that had the colours, and keeping the text. I didn't end up actually finding a suitable intro.

DAY 2

Today I watched a bunch of Youtube videos on how to create a really cool introduction title in after effects. I found quite a few videos that were interesting. I decided to also search up intro templates, which are pretty much pre-made introduction title. I found a few that were pretty cool and downloaded them. I tested them and haven't actually decided on an intro.

MONTH 2 - DAY 1

Today I started on the introduction title for the beginning of the Hairshow video. I started by searching google for a cool way to make a good intro in After Effects CSS. It was easier to follow a video on youtube so I went to youtube instead. I found and watched a few videos, and this one was the coolest and best: (CLICK HERE) It was a bit complicated but I watched through it slowly enough to understand it. Since I was watching through it slowly and had to repeat a few parts, I only got through 4 minutes. I learned how to create a 3D scene so far.
