Saved my 'tracing paper/colour acetate' sequence in Premiere Pro and uploaded movie file to YouTube and back into the relevant blog. Saw my fingers appear in a couple of frames so used the 'mountain' tool in Premiere to enlarge and reveal the relevant frame number (DSCN02751). Then used the 'ribble delete' + Clear to remove the frame. Then used Sequence, Render Work Area to 'smooth out' the running sequence. Still looks very 'rough' round the edges but serves the purpose of the process.
So - onto the Big One. In Premiere Pro 1.5 I imported all 571 photos and ran the sequence as is. For some reason the last photo also appeared in the first frame so I took that out using the same method as before.
Tutorial with Julie:
Had a look at the first run through - there's a lot of flicker created
because of my shadow on the acetate layers as I was taking photos. You
can also really see the changes in light. We agreed that this looks 'ok'
in the context of this animation as it's fairly 'hands on' and 'rough around
the edges', also taking into account that it was done at home. It may be
that Derek may be able to help in Final Edit - if there is time and space to
use the studio that is.
Possibly look at what the costs would be if you used a professional studio.
The run through as it stands now is over 60 seconds. I need to look at what
I think needs to be on screen for less and what might need to have longer
exposure (text boxes etc). To do this I need save the Premiere file to a
Movie file and have a look at where this needs to take place. You get a more
realistic view of it when in movie form.
Select the frames you want to increase in speed by running through the
sequence frame by frame using the arrow/cursor. Use the RAZOR tool and cut
on the Playhead.
Go to CLIP, SPEED DURATION and increase to (for example) 200%. If you want
to make the sequence last longer (eg Text boxes) you need to decrease the
frame duration. Use the same method but REDUCE the percentage accordingly.
This is it after the first 'cuts' - you can't see a lot of difference right now, but once the rest of the editing is in place, it should fit better into a 30 second sequence.
Tried a few more 'cutting' edits... was getting quite a few overlaid frames for some reason. The last one (below) is just under 50 seconds. Worth looking at the movie version to get an overall feel - write down what I observe and make final changes in next week's session.
