In this section of the course, we're going to look at several videos with a critical eye to identify elements of videos that are successful. While it's great to create your own style, a lot of what works and doesn't is fairly well understood.
Once you have edited a video, the next part of the production process is to render and encode the video into a shareable and usable file format. In the earlier exercise on editing we just used the quick, default encoding. It turns out this type of encoding works pretty well for most situations.
When your video is complete, you will probably want to share it with others. This page will show you the process. Choose a method of sharing that meets your learning and audience objectives.
This 90 minute video is a recording of a webinar hosted by the Online Video Clinic team. The recording touches on topics in the sections "Getting Started" and "Recording" on this website. It is a good place to start to learn more about the process.
User feedback from this course often includes this common question: Why was Premiere Elements selected as the video editor? It's certainly not the best editor out there, but it is very inexpensive and works with both Macs and PCs.
Lighting is a complex topic. There are books, videos and websites that explore lighting in depth. We're going to just focus on a couple key tips that will improve your videos. Light that comes from a single, small source like the sun or a bright LED light will create harsh shadows.
You've spent hours (maybe days!) working on your great video and now you want the world to see it. Since your video will be hosted on a service like YouTube or Vimeo, most viewers will find it either via a search for a particular subject, or as a recommendation given by the host website itself.
A strength of UC ANR that Californians depend on is the accuracy of our content. We have a history of producing reliable, researched-based information from our staff and academics. Video production, just like fact sheets and presentations, needs to convey accurate information.
Sometimes you would like it to appear you are at another location when making a video. Perhaps a field, kitchen, or just a sunny beach! This process is called keying. If you have ever watched the weather forecast on TV then you have seen this effect in action.
