Tutorials

We didn't understand why our videos kept lagging and then when we found out we had to render it. This is the tutorial that we followed to render the opening so that it did not lag. We then found out if the video actually did need rendering there would be a red line above the clips. There were red lines and all we had to do was just click on the timeline and hit enter. This then rendered the video for us and stopped the lag.

Another thing that we wanted to add to our opening two minutes was a realistic muzzle flash when Ryan fires the gun. We looked over the internet and realized how simple it was, at the time we also added a sound but we knew how to do this already.

Lastly we noticed a considerable amount of camera shake on some of our shots. We look on the internet on how to reduce this camera shake. We found that somone had already asked this question the Adobe forums and luckily somone had answered it. All we had to do was add the Video Stablizier effect to each of the clips that had this shaking in them. Once we had done this and then rendered it which took a couple of hours we realised that this was a complete mitake. The software had just put in black bits on the side of the screen when it did shake. So we straight away undid all the changes amd just had to deal with having a little of shake on the shots which werent that very noticable when only watching the video once.
