here's a link to uploaded photos for Spring2022 =
software = DaVinci Resolve
hardware = class cameras (Sony a6400, tripod)
length = minimum of 30seconds of completed video (@ 16 or 12 frames per second)
what = use any royalty free material (music include royalty free music)
where to turn in = upload to YouTube then embed in your class projects portfolio website
see some tips on still photography on the page
make sure you have a way of counting images
camera settings:
(sd card)
the video you are creating will most likely be 1080p (1920x1080 pixels), and all are greater than that ... so, what is best?
= I believe extra fine is the best quality since less compression occurs
setting the knob to is probably best so you can set the exposure (shutter speed), ISO, and aperture (f-stop) and leave it the same for every photo ... if you set to A (aperture priority), then the shutter speed and ISO could change from photo to photo
upload your photos to Box for your whole group to use later!
open DaVinci Resolve and create a new project
to view individual photos rather than a packaged sequence (which looks like one file) ... before you import:
go to the Media tab at the bottom
make sure "Media Storage" button at top is selected
click the three dots above where files show up and choose Frame Display Mode > Individual
now you can go to the Edit tab at the bottom and drag drop your hundreds of photos into the Media Pool as so many instructions advise
go to the Edit tab
drag all your photos to the media pool
you need to properly setup the timeline frame rate:
select all the photos files in the media pool (single click one and press command + a)
right click on a photo and choose "Create New Timeline Using Selected Clips..."
on the popup: uncheck "Use Project Settings"
in the Format tab: change Timeline Frame Rate to 16
click "Create"
now select all photos on the timeline (single click one and press command+a)
press command+d to change the duration of each photo
in the popup: choose the Frames tab and put "1" after Duration
deselect all the photos in the timeline (click in a gray area)
go to the Edit menu at the top left and choose "Delete Gaps"
go to File > Project Settings...
make sure "16" is in the Playback frame rate box
add sounds/music
go to Deliver tab
choose Youtube settings
make sure you know where it will save the file
add to render cue
render all
upload the rendered video to Youtube
Add to your Class Projects Portfolio Website (day 3)
