[Auto-generated transcript. Edits may have been applied for clarity.]
So welcome. I am Chelsey Hooper.

2
00:00:05,368 --> 00:00:13,198
I'm an instructional technology specialist in the Innovation and Research Commons, which is located on the first floor of the library.

3
00:00:14,008 --> 00:00:20,478
In that first floor, the library, we have a Adobe Creative Space, which is the main area where I work out of.

4
00:00:20,758 --> 00:00:24,238
We offer these free workshops. We also have an Adobe Help desk there.

5
00:00:24,628 --> 00:00:30,688
The links and resources are listed here on this resource page, so I won't go through it, but you're welcome to check that out.

6
00:00:30,958 --> 00:00:33,027
Go through the links after today,

7
00:00:33,028 --> 00:00:40,498
if you have questions you're welcome to ask are Adobe Student Consultants and that information is on this page close to the end.

8
00:00:41,278 --> 00:00:47,548
It takes you to our Adobe Creative Space page and there you can check the schedule, see when they're available.

9
00:00:47,818 --> 00:00:54,988
They are also available via Zoom at the same time. So you can pop in on Zoom and ask a question and they can share their screen,

10
00:00:54,988 --> 00:01:00,837
you can share yours or you're welcome to come over in person and ask for assistance, but just check the schedule first.

11
00:01:00,838 --> 00:01:03,958
Make sure somebody is actually scheduled to be there at that time.

12
00:01:04,648 --> 00:01:09,658
So we're going to skip a good portion of this because getting started is another workshop.

13
00:01:09,928 --> 00:01:15,658
If you need some kind of help getting your Adobe ID and all that, there's resources on this page to help you with that,

14
00:01:16,048 --> 00:01:21,148
but we're going to kind of scroll through and go to Adobe Express and hop into that pretty quickly.

15
00:01:21,718 --> 00:01:28,438
So here is the information about how to sign into Adobe Express once you have your Auburn Adobe ID set up.

16
00:01:28,798 --> 00:01:35,278
Also, if you are a faculty or staff member, you can get expressed at a discounted cost at this link right here.

17
00:01:36,238 --> 00:01:44,158
And I think it's only $10 per year. If you're a student, you get access to Adobe Express and the entire to be Creative Cloud suite.

18
00:01:44,548 --> 00:01:47,698
You just need to go request your access here first and so on.

19
00:01:48,718 --> 00:01:53,098
And then this is information about how to sign in. So once you get access, feel free to check that out.

20
00:01:53,698 --> 00:01:58,468
And then this is a little review about what Adobe Express can do.

21
00:01:58,468 --> 00:02:03,087
It can help you create graphics, video and also very basic web pages.

22
00:02:03,088 --> 00:02:08,488
Today we're going to just focus on the video section and we're going to use this link right here to sign in.

23
00:02:09,058 --> 00:02:16,258
And or you can just go to a browser window, which, by the way, Express works best in Chrome and the Chrome browser.

24
00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:25,828
So ideally, if you'd like to follow along, feel free to open up your Chrome browser and then go to this link here which is Express dot Adobe dot com.

25
00:02:26,518 --> 00:02:32,368
I'll go ahead and do that with you today. And also if you're with us online and you have questions,

26
00:02:32,548 --> 00:02:37,828
feel free to put those questions into the chat and I'm going to do my best to watch the chat as well.

27
00:02:37,948 --> 00:02:41,218
Okay, Let's go ahead and hop into Adobe Express.

28
00:02:41,458 --> 00:02:46,288
So Adobe Express is Web based and it helps you create all kinds of things.

29
00:02:46,918 --> 00:02:54,718
Let me take a minute and log out and log so I can kind of walk you through how to sign in properly and all of that.

30
00:02:55,888 --> 00:03:04,468
Once you click the link to Go to Express, you'll arrive here and then what you need to do is to choose to sign in with email.

31
00:03:05,098 --> 00:03:11,438
Once you choose sign in with email, then what you will do is type in your entire Auburn email address.

32
00:03:11,458 --> 00:03:16,778
We'll go ahead and do that. And this is after you've got your Adobe ID set up.

33
00:03:17,108 --> 00:03:24,098
Okay. Because you want to do that first. So you get premium access and access to the stock video, which is going to be really helpful to you.

34
00:03:24,668 --> 00:03:28,928
And then at this point, which is company, your school account always choose come in your school account.

35
00:03:28,928 --> 00:03:32,348
Or if it says enterprise account, that's the one that you want to pick.

36
00:03:32,828 --> 00:03:39,088
And then we're going to put in our password the same Auburn password you use for everything else.

37
00:03:39,098 --> 00:03:46,978
That's what you use. And now we will be signing so you can make sure you're signed in by making sure it has your name here.

38
00:03:46,988 --> 00:03:53,587
You can also click over here and see your profile page. Make sure you're signed in properly from this screen.

39
00:03:53,588 --> 00:04:03,188
If we want to jump into creating a video, we can either start with a graphic or a certain resolution size, or we can start with a video template.

40
00:04:03,308 --> 00:04:06,668
So there are several different options we can we could just go through.

41
00:04:07,358 --> 00:04:12,098
So say for Instagram story, you wanted to make an Instagram story, but you want that to be a video.

42
00:04:12,368 --> 00:04:17,828
You can animate and add video to any sort of graphic that you can create in express notice.

43
00:04:17,828 --> 00:04:23,288
You can also create from scratch, which means it'll be a blank canvas and you just add your content to it.

44
00:04:23,648 --> 00:04:26,708
Or you can go through and browse templates that are available to you.

45
00:04:27,278 --> 00:04:35,828
And then similarly with the video, the landscape, regular videos size you can either create from scratch or you can browse templates as well.

46
00:04:36,548 --> 00:04:44,078
You can also search for video templates up here as well, and you can create anything from scratch initially.

47
00:04:44,078 --> 00:04:48,158
So if you were creating a video and you knew you needed it to be a certain resolution,

48
00:04:48,968 --> 00:04:53,918
you can even choose custom size and then start working from that.

49
00:04:54,188 --> 00:04:58,298
So for example, if you had digital signage that you wanted,

50
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:02,378
but it had to be portrait or something like that, you could kind of manipulate that from there.

51
00:05:03,008 --> 00:05:06,938
But for us today, we're just going to go directly to the video option.

52
00:05:07,178 --> 00:05:10,178
Keep in mind, if you wanted to make an Instagram story, that's a video.

53
00:05:10,178 --> 00:05:14,828
You could start with that the resolution size and notice it knows the pixel size and everything.

54
00:05:15,608 --> 00:05:19,927
In our case, we're going to act like we were just creating a video that's like a regular landscape.

55
00:05:19,928 --> 00:05:29,368
So we'll go ahead and click video. Once we click video here, what we can do is start adding some content.

56
00:05:29,758 --> 00:05:35,158
So notice the interface. First, we have sort of our blank template to start with.

57
00:05:35,548 --> 00:05:40,408
We are inside of a video project, so the first thing that we should do is name it.

58
00:05:40,768 --> 00:05:44,518
So if we name this one video example.

59
00:05:46,378 --> 00:05:49,738
One or something like that. Name it. Whatever makes sense to you.

60
00:05:50,518 --> 00:05:54,188
You can upload your own video from your device.

61
00:05:54,238 --> 00:05:58,227
So you need to get it off of your phone or off of your device onto your computer,

62
00:05:58,228 --> 00:06:01,828
and then you would just click, upload, upload it from wherever you have it saved.

63
00:06:02,818 --> 00:06:08,368
Express is also a mobile application, so that can be really handy because your video is probably already on your phone.

64
00:06:08,728 --> 00:06:13,917
You can use the Express app to then create a video from the video that's on your phone currently.

65
00:06:13,918 --> 00:06:20,968
So that's very handy and sort of a shortcut there, which is great. You can also search video right here as well.

66
00:06:20,968 --> 00:06:26,878
And what this searches is some limited access to some Adobe Stock video that we have.

67
00:06:27,298 --> 00:06:30,358
And we get this access only inside of Express.

68
00:06:31,138 --> 00:06:38,028
If you go to the Adobe Stock site, you will not have access to videos, but you will have access to images that you can download.

69
00:06:38,038 --> 00:06:41,578
So if you want to separately go and search the Adobe Stock site, you can do that.

70
00:06:42,028 --> 00:06:46,167
But we don't get access to the video or the audio that's available on the stock site.

71
00:06:46,168 --> 00:06:51,298
But if you are inside of Express, then you get access to the content that is here.

72
00:06:51,628 --> 00:06:59,338
These are all stock videos and are perfectly safe for you to use in your academic setting in your role at Auburn.

73
00:07:00,328 --> 00:07:02,538
That's what the education license allows for.

74
00:07:02,548 --> 00:07:09,058
So if you wanted to use this as part of the research that you're conducting here at Auburn, you could do that.

75
00:07:09,058 --> 00:07:14,188
If you're using it in a classroom setting, If you're using it as long as it relates to the coursework,

76
00:07:14,878 --> 00:07:19,558
then it's fine for you to use, okay and to repost and all of that.

77
00:07:19,558 --> 00:07:26,728
So if we were going to search a video here, we could just go ahead and type in some keywords or something like that.

78
00:07:27,538 --> 00:07:30,898
So let's say we were going to do something on rockets.

79
00:07:32,678 --> 00:07:36,128
We'll see what we get. So we have some different videos here.

80
00:07:36,128 --> 00:07:39,607
And if we mouse over them, we kind of get a little preview of what's going on.

81
00:07:39,608 --> 00:07:46,927
It also tells you how long the video is so you can kind of get some ideas of what's going on in the video.

82
00:07:46,928 --> 00:07:52,568
So some of these are more vector style, some of these are a little bit more realistic style.

83
00:07:52,568 --> 00:07:54,878
So this might be a cool way to kind of start off.

84
00:07:55,088 --> 00:08:01,298
Also, something like this might be a cool way to start our video, so we'll just kind of pick one and see what we what we get.

85
00:08:02,708 --> 00:08:05,408
So we'll just pick maybe this one with the Rocket Blasters.

86
00:08:06,308 --> 00:08:13,448
Once you click and add a piece of video to your project, it's now in the timeline down here on the bottom.

87
00:08:14,288 --> 00:08:18,008
Notice that you can even remove the background from video.

88
00:08:18,098 --> 00:08:22,328
So this is a really key feature because what you could do is to film yourself

89
00:08:23,558 --> 00:08:27,517
doing a voiceover or doing an explanation of what's going on in the video,

90
00:08:27,518 --> 00:08:31,418
and then you could remove the background from yourself and put yourself in this video.

91
00:08:31,718 --> 00:08:38,497
And it can be part of like a presentation or whatever you want or anything else that you've taken video of or stock video.

92
00:08:38,498 --> 00:08:45,098
You can remove the background. It does a good job. You can also crop your video, you can adjust the volume of the video.

93
00:08:45,098 --> 00:08:49,747
You can also adjust the speed so you can slow it down or speed it up the opacity.

94
00:08:49,748 --> 00:08:55,678
So how transparent is it? And even apply some blend modes and put some interesting effects on it.

95
00:08:56,348 --> 00:09:03,878
If we had chosen this video and it was landscape, but we need it to be portrait, we could choose fit video and it would like force it to fit.

96
00:09:03,878 --> 00:09:08,857
So these are some options we can do. There are also additional effects that we can apply.

97
00:09:08,858 --> 00:09:13,927
Adjustments have to do with like lightness and contrast and brightness and all of that.

98
00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:21,278
We can make some adjustments to it. So very similar to some features that you can use, say within Premiere Pro, which is really neat.

99
00:09:21,578 --> 00:09:26,078
And then you can even animate add text and animate it and that sort of thing.

100
00:09:26,078 --> 00:09:30,368
But we'll just play our video and see what we got. Yeah.

101
00:09:30,608 --> 00:09:33,808
And then we've got. So this is 20 seconds of video.

102
00:09:33,818 --> 00:09:38,918
We may not need that much. What we can do if we want to trim it, is to click and drag.

103
00:09:39,338 --> 00:09:42,188
Notice also this little play had we can drag that around.

104
00:09:42,188 --> 00:09:48,698
So if we want that to be exactly 14 seconds, then when you trim it, it'll kind of snap to that particular play head.

105
00:09:48,698 --> 00:09:50,948
So that's how you can kind of get a little more precise with that.

106
00:09:52,178 --> 00:09:59,288
And then if we wanted to add some more content, we can add another scene, add another rocket video.

107
00:09:59,438 --> 00:10:05,768
This one's pretty cool. We'll play that one. And now we can hit, play and see what all this rocket one does.

108
00:10:06,188 --> 00:10:09,517
Pretty nice. We can add things to our video.

109
00:10:09,518 --> 00:10:15,078
We can add text, for example. There is even text effects that we can add.

110
00:10:15,708 --> 00:10:21,947
So let's say rockets, you know, so if we wanted this text to even do something crazy,

111
00:10:21,948 --> 00:10:28,778
like look like something different, we can use generative art built into Adobe Express.

112
00:10:29,268 --> 00:10:32,927
It's based on Adobe Firefly and it's trained only on its own Adobe stock.

113
00:10:32,928 --> 00:10:37,848
So perfectly safe to use. So we might say this one should look like steel.

114
00:10:38,958 --> 00:10:42,888
And let's see what we get as far as like what the text looks like.

115
00:10:43,608 --> 00:10:49,878
Once it does the generative art, it'll turn our text into something that kind of looks like steel.

116
00:10:50,238 --> 00:10:54,888
And this is pretty cool. I like it. Pretty nice. We can move this around.

117
00:10:55,788 --> 00:11:04,518
We can even animate it. So once we have our text effects there and we've got our text selected, we can go down and add some animation.

118
00:11:05,658 --> 00:11:09,167
And it should bungee in or drift in something like that.

119
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:15,918
Maybe drop in, drop in might be pretty cool. So now we have a little bit of animation, our videos, so we can see what we have so far.

120
00:11:16,638 --> 00:11:19,158
And now we have some text, right?

121
00:11:19,428 --> 00:11:24,888
So you can see how you can very quickly kind of add some things and express it works really good for like sideshow videos,

122
00:11:24,888 --> 00:11:31,068
social media videos, a short presentation videos, things you want to add very quickly and so on, which is really cool.

123
00:11:32,168 --> 00:11:40,148
Other media you can add, you can also add, you can, of course, add photos and it would just be a still photo in your video timeline.

124
00:11:41,198 --> 00:11:49,148
You can also add audio. So if you recorded something, some sort of audio that you wanted to use that you have the right to use,

125
00:11:49,148 --> 00:11:52,418
of course you can upload it directly here and put it into your video.

126
00:11:52,928 --> 00:11:56,618
Notice you can also record a voiceover right into your video as well.

127
00:11:57,338 --> 00:12:02,898
This would be a great fast way to make a video for a presentation embedded into a PowerPoint, whatever you want to do there.

128
00:12:03,818 --> 00:12:07,838
And there is stock video, stock audio that's available to you.

129
00:12:08,738 --> 00:12:16,538
So we might want to say fast rock music or something like that and see what we get.

130
00:12:17,768 --> 00:12:24,518
So if we like the piece of music that's there, we can click that rewind hit play.

131
00:12:28,188 --> 00:12:38,688
It's no place to play. But anyway, we played the audio there and then you can adjust, you know, sort of the audio as well.

132
00:12:38,688 --> 00:12:44,238
You can trim it, put a different piece of audio, a voiceover right there as well.

133
00:12:45,288 --> 00:12:49,308
You know, you can always muted. So here we go. That's probably what it was.

134
00:12:49,488 --> 00:12:52,818
Oops. You can control Z or command Z to undo.

135
00:12:53,898 --> 00:12:57,887
And yeah, so you get the idea of how you could add music.

136
00:12:57,888 --> 00:13:02,537
This is all stock easy to use all of that. Let's practice really quick.

137
00:13:02,538 --> 00:13:05,688
Just adding another scene and adding a piece of video that's maybe.

138
00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:13,428
The sort of the wrong resolution. So you can kind of see that, let's say.

139
00:13:14,918 --> 00:13:20,298
Let's see. There's any portrait. Let's just put Rocket and see what we get.

140
00:13:22,028 --> 00:13:29,668
But many more a portrait style. But basically, here's one. Okay, I brought this video in, but it's not the right size.

141
00:13:29,818 --> 00:13:35,968
You can even go down here and choose filled video, and then you can also manually adjust where the video is showing.

142
00:13:36,808 --> 00:13:39,808
So now we can see the dude in the rocket and all of that.

143
00:13:40,068 --> 00:13:43,948
Okay. So those are some options you have for video.

144
00:13:44,188 --> 00:13:47,908
There are some limitations it won't do. Fade in, fade out, things like that.

145
00:13:48,628 --> 00:13:58,318
It doesn't have fancy transitions, all of that. You can also just create your own video by adding a scene and then adding just still photos and so on.

146
00:13:59,068 --> 00:14:07,948
So we could add a still photo of this rocket. Tell it to set as the background and then we could add text to it, animate that text, all of that.

147
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:15,488
It has all kinds of other neat features. If we wanted to add, say, some elements like some shapes or some icons.

148
00:14:15,508 --> 00:14:21,898
So if we wanted to add an icon and we wanted that icon to animate, you know, so we'll find a little rocket.

149
00:14:22,888 --> 00:14:31,588
And then we could add this guy and that, Oops, my God, the right thing here, over here, you know, to pick up the right thing.

150
00:14:31,648 --> 00:14:35,158
Here we go. And we can change the look of it.

151
00:14:35,638 --> 00:14:43,378
So once we have our image here, then we can also go back and we can animate it.

152
00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:48,448
So if we want to get this guy, let's say maybe he's shooting out or something like that,

153
00:14:48,448 --> 00:14:54,118
or he's going to grow or whatever, or rising or popping, popping might be cool.

154
00:14:55,048 --> 00:15:00,658
So then that's part that's part of your video as well. And then, of course, you could also just set a background color.

155
00:15:00,668 --> 00:15:02,578
So however you want to do your video,

156
00:15:03,058 --> 00:15:11,098
easy to use drag and drop interface right here on the video preview screen is really what makes it very simple and all of that.

157
00:15:11,308 --> 00:15:16,108
There's even a translate button if you put text in here, want it to translate it to a different language, it will do that.

158
00:15:16,768 --> 00:15:24,088
And then when you're ready to share your project, you can also share the project with other people who can also edit it.

159
00:15:24,718 --> 00:15:30,298
You cannot quite edit at the same time, so only one person can have the project open at a time,

160
00:15:30,598 --> 00:15:37,018
but you can invite somebody else to edit it and then you can say, Hey, you're in charge of the last three scenes.

161
00:15:37,018 --> 00:15:41,188
I'm going to do the first three scenes and then you guys could work on that together.

162
00:15:41,458 --> 00:15:43,138
There's also a published web.

163
00:15:43,168 --> 00:15:51,808
This will just create sort of an unlisted URL, which then you could just send to anybody who doesn't have access to Adobe Express,

164
00:15:52,078 --> 00:15:56,938
and it would just open up in a browser and they could view your video just in an empty browser.

165
00:15:57,718 --> 00:16:00,927
You also have the option to download it.

166
00:16:00,928 --> 00:16:06,958
And notice now that we've created a video, the file format is going to be MP four and you can download it.

167
00:16:07,258 --> 00:16:10,408
You can choose whatever size it is that you prefer.

168
00:16:11,128 --> 00:16:19,527
If you need it to be a smaller size, you can do that. If you shot the video at 4K and brought that in, then you do have the option to do that.

169
00:16:19,528 --> 00:16:23,488
But if you need it to be faster, you could download it to 724 social media.

170
00:16:23,758 --> 00:16:29,368
Or if you're doing this for YouTube or a computer presentation, you would want to leave it at 1080.

171
00:16:29,778 --> 00:16:35,428
Okay. So those are kind of the features of Adobe Express video.

172
00:16:35,758 --> 00:16:37,738
It's just going to save as we go.

173
00:16:38,548 --> 00:16:45,958
And then whenever we're done working with it for the day, I recommend that you go back to the home screen by clicking the little icon here.

174
00:16:46,408 --> 00:16:53,008
Once you click that icon, you're back to the home screen and now the video will be stored in the folder called Your Stuff.

175
00:16:53,548 --> 00:17:01,888
Once you click your stuff, then you will see the most recent project that we just did right there and you can click on it and continue editing it.

176
00:17:02,218 --> 00:17:07,558
If you liked that project and you want to make a new one or you want to make a template out of it, you could do that.

177
00:17:08,338 --> 00:17:16,048
You can duplicate it. So if you have like as a setup that you used or like a storyboard that you used and you want to repeat that,

178
00:17:16,048 --> 00:17:22,248
but just change out some of the images or some of the videos. That could be a fast way to really make some nice content.

179
00:17:22,258 --> 00:17:25,078
You can, of course download your project from here and all of that,

180
00:17:25,348 --> 00:17:30,148
and to get back into your project, you would just click back into it and continue to edit and so on.

181
00:17:31,678 --> 00:17:38,278
And Adobe Express video, of course, also has the generative art Firefly built into it.

182
00:17:38,278 --> 00:17:45,508
So if you wanted to make your own little character and then put that character on your video and all of that, then that's really neat.

183
00:17:46,558 --> 00:17:52,437
Another other piece that Adobe Express does have as far as video that you may kind of

184
00:17:52,438 --> 00:17:59,638
not have known as much is there is a feature called and let me see if I can find it.

185
00:18:00,028 --> 00:18:09,648
If we go to the plus side, we can probably find it. Nope, not there.

186
00:18:09,678 --> 00:18:15,858
Let's see if we can find out. See, it's B under quick actions.

187
00:18:15,858 --> 00:18:19,508
Maybe it's under quick actions. There's a feature called Animate.

188
00:18:19,518 --> 00:18:24,048
Here it is animate from audio. So under quick actions, animate from audio.

189
00:18:24,738 --> 00:18:29,718
And this is kind of a nice little video piece that maybe a lot of people don't know about.

190
00:18:30,048 --> 00:18:38,718
But essentially what you can do is you can choose a character and they have multiple types of characters to pick from.

191
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:47,117
And once you choose your character, then you can hit record and it will animate the character according to the intonation in your voice.

192
00:18:47,118 --> 00:18:53,928
You can choose a different background. So we can put her mouth a genius chalkboard in the background.

193
00:18:54,228 --> 00:18:56,008
We can also change the size.

194
00:18:56,028 --> 00:19:04,758
Right now it's four square, but we could choose portrait if we want or landscape if we wanted to, or Instagram story reels, all of that good stuff.

195
00:19:05,448 --> 00:19:11,538
And once you have it, you hit record. And then notice there's also this A.I. feature for enhanced speech.

196
00:19:11,868 --> 00:19:16,757
So if you wanted to turn that on, it would use artificial intelligence to clean up the audio.

197
00:19:16,758 --> 00:19:20,718
So even if you recorded it, not a great microphone, it would improve the recording.

198
00:19:21,138 --> 00:19:25,908
And then it tells you what to do right here, 2 minutes and one gig max per upload.

199
00:19:25,908 --> 00:19:30,468
So that's pretty much all that you get. And we're going to allow.

200
00:19:33,298 --> 00:19:37,858
So this is an example of how we can animate using animate with audio.

201
00:19:38,668 --> 00:19:41,248
Well done. It'll take a moment to process that.

202
00:19:42,028 --> 00:19:50,878
Once it finishes processing that, then it will give us a video which we can then download or we could like rerecord and try again and all of that.

203
00:19:51,748 --> 00:20:00,448
I used it to record myself doing a introduction to my class about myself, you know, just to kind of get started.

204
00:20:00,988 --> 00:20:06,268
Welcome to the course. Here's what we're going to be studying this year, that sort of thing.

205
00:20:06,958 --> 00:20:10,738
And then you can preview it by playing it here or you can download it.

206
00:20:11,008 --> 00:20:13,858
And then notice it has this new feature to open in the editor.

207
00:20:13,858 --> 00:20:19,778
So you can bring that video into Express video and continue to edit it, make changes to it, all of that.

208
00:20:19,798 --> 00:20:23,488
So kind of a neat new feature that you guys can check out to preview.

209
00:20:23,518 --> 00:20:28,468
So this is an example of how we can innovate using anyone with audio to do that.

210
00:20:28,738 --> 00:20:33,087
Yeah, pretty cool. So that's the new animate from audio feature as well.

211
00:20:33,088 --> 00:20:38,648
You can also do things like quickly like merge videos, you know, inside of Express.

212
00:20:38,648 --> 00:20:41,878
So if you need to just do something really quickly, that's another option as well.

213
00:20:43,128 --> 00:20:49,998
Okay. So we are going to kind of switch gears from Adobe Express and move into Adobe Rush.

214
00:20:50,418 --> 00:20:56,238
So Adobe Rush is Adobe's sort of next version up of a video editor.

215
00:20:56,688 --> 00:21:06,588
What Adobe's working towards though, is to make the video features of Adobe Express more like Rush.

216
00:21:06,798 --> 00:21:13,938
So I'm going to show you Rush because right now Rush has more video editing features than Express does.

217
00:21:14,358 --> 00:21:20,778
But more they are more and more they are taking the features that are available in Rush and putting them in to express.

218
00:21:20,808 --> 00:21:26,927
So eventually, all of the options that you are going to see in just a minute available in Rush

219
00:21:26,928 --> 00:21:31,428
will then be available in Express and this will be sort of the first video editor.

220
00:21:32,628 --> 00:21:37,128
The other video editor that Adobe offers is Adobe Premiere Pro.

221
00:21:37,458 --> 00:21:41,808
That's their professional video editor. We do offer workshops on Adobe Premiere Pro as well.

222
00:21:42,108 --> 00:21:46,548
That's better to use. If you are doing a really involved video editing.

223
00:21:46,818 --> 00:21:51,768
You need a transcription, you need, you know, Express will do captions too.

224
00:21:51,778 --> 00:21:56,118
I forgot to mention that, but Express will also do cat video captioning, which is really great.

225
00:21:57,198 --> 00:22:04,788
Premiere Pro does a really good job with captions and transcriptions and you can even edit according the video according to the text,

226
00:22:04,788 --> 00:22:11,777
which is pretty crazy using generative AI. But Rush currently has some more features, so we're going to jump into that.

227
00:22:11,778 --> 00:22:17,958
So you get an idea of some of those features and then just know that those features are probably going to be coming to express pretty soon.

228
00:22:18,288 --> 00:22:22,068
So you can use those same skills there. All right.

229
00:22:22,068 --> 00:22:26,087
So we're going to switch gears and go to Adobe Premiere.

230
00:22:26,088 --> 00:22:33,768
RUSH and you're welcome to open up this short URL in on your computer.

231
00:22:34,938 --> 00:22:39,318
And if you guys have questions, feel free to pop those in chat and let me know.

232
00:22:39,408 --> 00:22:46,817
That would be totally fine. I'll be happy to answer questions as we go, but this is the resource page for digital video.

233
00:22:46,818 --> 00:22:54,978
Now we have a lot of additional information that to help you kind of get started with just shooting your video in the first place.

234
00:22:55,308 --> 00:22:57,017
So I'm not going to go through a ton of that,

235
00:22:57,018 --> 00:23:04,368
but just know that you could access this resource page on your own by going to RB slash I.R.S. Adobe Rush.

236
00:23:04,368 --> 00:23:08,417
That stands for Innovation and Research comments. And this is our presentation page.

237
00:23:08,418 --> 00:23:11,598
This is, by the way, this is an Adobe Express Web page.

238
00:23:11,958 --> 00:23:19,068
So that's another feature of Express that is nice to have and be able to use if you want some practice,

239
00:23:19,068 --> 00:23:22,757
kind of messing around with video and you need some video files to play around with.

240
00:23:22,758 --> 00:23:28,368
I have a OneDrive folder here that just got some random stock videos in it that you are welcome to play around with.

241
00:23:28,368 --> 00:23:32,718
So that's an option as well. We're going to skip a lot of this stuff we already talked about.

242
00:23:32,718 --> 00:23:38,867
Express Other things you can do is use it to create a custom thumbnail for your video.

243
00:23:38,868 --> 00:23:41,988
You could also use it to create infographics, bring in the picture.

244
00:23:41,988 --> 00:23:44,298
So there's lots of options with Express.

245
00:23:44,838 --> 00:23:59,178
Also, there is a journey of a feature called Adobe Podcast that Adobe also offers, and you can use this online tool to just enhance your audio.

246
00:23:59,208 --> 00:24:05,748
So if you've taken some audio and you've recorded it and you just want to improve the audio and put it back into your editor,

247
00:24:06,078 --> 00:24:08,448
this is another feature that can help you do that.

248
00:24:09,228 --> 00:24:14,507
And it also will check your microphone like it'll tell you if you're too close or too loud in the microphone.

249
00:24:14,508 --> 00:24:18,888
So that's another option. That's called Adobe podcast. We already talked about.

250
00:24:19,608 --> 00:24:28,328
EXPRESS So we'll kind of jump into Rush. So Debbie Rush is also a mobile app, so it also has some features.

251
00:24:28,328 --> 00:24:31,058
But again, they're kind of moving towards using Adobe Express.

252
00:24:31,448 --> 00:24:39,428
So I would recommend if you need some good video editing features right now, then Adobe Rush on the desktop is going to be a good option.

253
00:24:39,908 --> 00:24:45,258
If you need something quick and on the fly, then express either on the on the desktop you get more features.

254
00:24:45,278 --> 00:24:49,088
There's also a mobile version that has really limited features as well.

255
00:24:49,658 --> 00:24:53,948
But there's all kinds of information here about shooting good video in the first place.

256
00:24:54,308 --> 00:25:01,868
In the innovation and research comments, we also offer equipment that you can use to shoot your video and audio equipment to record.

257
00:25:02,498 --> 00:25:11,108
So those are some options as well that you can access. And then this guide talks about the rule of thirds and how to compose a video shot.

258
00:25:11,108 --> 00:25:19,178
So this is a good one for you to check out later. You should also storyboard or plan out your video before you get started.

259
00:25:19,448 --> 00:25:23,198
Have an idea of what you want to put up there. This could be just a simple outline.

260
00:25:24,098 --> 00:25:31,298
It could be a PowerPoint. Some people use PowerPoint to help them figure out the scenes and just use that as their as their plan.

261
00:25:31,988 --> 00:25:35,047
This is a simple information about lighting the most important things.

262
00:25:35,048 --> 00:25:39,608
When you're shooting video or light and sound. You want to make sure you have good lighting if you can.

263
00:25:39,638 --> 00:25:43,958
If you can't try to get outside in the sunshine, but don't shoot into the sun, things like that.

264
00:25:44,438 --> 00:25:48,998
And then B-roll. So the concept of B-roll is important to understand.

265
00:25:49,268 --> 00:25:56,078
In Rush, you can layer the video, and so you can say say that you've interviewed an expert on a topic.

266
00:25:56,078 --> 00:25:59,978
So you've heard somebody interviewed somebody who knows a lot about rockets.

267
00:26:00,398 --> 00:26:04,658
And then what might be cool is, as they are talking about rockets,

268
00:26:04,658 --> 00:26:11,168
the questions and answering those questions that you ask them, you show video of whatever it is they're talking about.

269
00:26:11,258 --> 00:26:17,018
So if they're showing of the takeoff of a rocket, then you have them talk about that.

270
00:26:17,018 --> 00:26:21,518
But you show video of a rocket taking off instead, just showing the person talking.

271
00:26:21,878 --> 00:26:29,318
So that gives more interest. So this video explains B-roll and why that's important and what are some ways to get B-roll.

272
00:26:29,888 --> 00:26:36,158
And then we're going to go ahead and hop right into Rush. But this resource has lots of additional items for you.

273
00:26:36,158 --> 00:26:41,918
Information about Premiere Pro. You can also use Zoom to record video and then bring that into your video.

274
00:26:42,218 --> 00:26:45,668
And here's the information about check out. We also have an audio studio.

275
00:26:45,908 --> 00:26:52,478
So if you need a quiet space to record your voiceovers and we also have a link to the Adobe Consultants right here as well,

276
00:26:52,628 --> 00:26:56,677
who can also assist you with video questions also. All right.

277
00:26:56,678 --> 00:27:00,938
So this is kind of our lesson for Rush. We'll kind of get started with that and hop into that.

278
00:27:00,938 --> 00:27:06,908
Right now. I've already launched Rush, so it's already opened on my computer.

279
00:27:06,908 --> 00:27:14,047
But you would go open the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app on your computer, and then you would open Adobe Premiere.

280
00:27:14,048 --> 00:27:17,168
RUSH It has a little purple are you logo?

281
00:27:18,718 --> 00:27:22,438
So I'll give you a minute to do that. If you would like to hop into Rush with me.

282
00:27:22,468 --> 00:27:27,718
You're welcome to do that. I know sometimes it's hard to watch the demo and participate at the same time.

283
00:27:27,718 --> 00:27:31,218
You might want to watch the recording later. Try it on your own later. That's okay too.

284
00:27:31,228 --> 00:27:35,098
If you feel comfortable just watching this demonstration, that is great.

285
00:27:36,208 --> 00:27:43,437
All right. So from the first screen of Rush, if you open up for the first time, it might say, hey, this is the first time you've opened.

286
00:27:43,438 --> 00:27:47,278
RUSH Do you want to get started with the new project? You say, Yes, get started.

287
00:27:47,278 --> 00:27:52,198
Once you get started, you'll be at this sort of home screen of Rush.

288
00:27:52,828 --> 00:27:56,338
And from here what we want to do is create a new project.

289
00:27:57,118 --> 00:28:02,908
Another thing that's really useful about Rush is that it's built on the same code as Adobe Premiere Pro.

290
00:28:03,298 --> 00:28:09,898
So if you decide, Hey, Rush isn't quite cutting it, I need a little bit more video editing capability.

291
00:28:10,258 --> 00:28:18,478
You can bring a Adobe Rush project into Premiere Pro and you can continue editing like it will have all of your edits.

292
00:28:18,478 --> 00:28:22,497
It won't be a finished video, it'll be all your edits and you can continue editing in Premiere Pro.

293
00:28:22,498 --> 00:28:28,398
So that's one nice feature of that. So from here, we're going to go ahead and create a new project.

294
00:28:28,418 --> 00:28:35,948
So let's go ahead and get started. Once you are here now, this is a video editing program.

295
00:28:36,038 --> 00:28:44,248
So this is assuming you've already gone out and shot all of your video that you need and you already have it, or at least most of it.

296
00:28:44,258 --> 00:28:49,928
So you can get started. You can always add more content to your video as you're editing it, of course.

297
00:28:50,708 --> 00:28:55,058
But this is assuming you're ready to start editing that video that you've already taken.

298
00:28:55,478 --> 00:28:59,878
So the first thing is you need to figure out where your files are on your computer.

299
00:28:59,888 --> 00:29:09,667
So after you get your video shot with them, be organized to put it in a folder either on your desktop or and also have a copy in the cloud,

300
00:29:09,668 --> 00:29:14,348
whether you use Box or OneDrive, both of which you have free access to through Auburn.

301
00:29:14,978 --> 00:29:22,117
Have a space online in the cloud where you are saving your video clips because then you've got a backup.

302
00:29:22,118 --> 00:29:26,858
Because the worst thing would be is if you've gone and done this great interview with someone

303
00:29:27,518 --> 00:29:32,078
and then you lost the file or something happened to your computer and it was only saved locally,

304
00:29:32,378 --> 00:29:35,668
have a backup of the raw files somewhere online.

305
00:29:35,678 --> 00:29:37,478
Okay. And be organized with that.

306
00:29:37,718 --> 00:29:48,238
Once you have that those backups online, save a local copy to your computer, then work off of the local copies whenever you're doing video editing.

307
00:29:48,278 --> 00:29:52,478
Okay. Because this is a desktop app is pulling from this computer.

308
00:29:52,748 --> 00:29:55,778
Don't move the files after you bring them in.

309
00:29:55,778 --> 00:29:59,587
And then because it'll be confused, it has to refer back to those files.

310
00:29:59,588 --> 00:30:05,378
So make a folder either on your desktop or documents or downloads for your video project.

311
00:30:05,378 --> 00:30:12,517
Put all of your clips in there, put a copy of all your clips in there, essentially have a copy online, and then then you know where everything is.

312
00:30:12,518 --> 00:30:15,908
And if you can name the clips, that's even better because then you have an idea.

313
00:30:15,908 --> 00:30:19,718
But if you can at least get them all in the same place or all of your content in the same place,

314
00:30:19,868 --> 00:30:23,408
any audio that you've taken, that is really going to be helpful.

315
00:30:24,128 --> 00:30:27,968
All right. So for today, we are actually.

316
00:30:28,478 --> 00:30:31,568
Normally you would go to wherever you have your files save for today.

317
00:30:31,568 --> 00:30:38,108
We're going to be using a folder called Sample Media because it already has some sort of samples for us to play around with.

318
00:30:39,008 --> 00:30:42,968
Your sample media might look slightly different if it's a PC versus a mac, and that's fine.

319
00:30:42,968 --> 00:30:47,288
You just need to have one or two video clips to play around with to get started.

320
00:30:47,978 --> 00:30:52,838
So from here we're going to choose sample media and then right here we're going to give it a name.

321
00:30:52,868 --> 00:30:57,938
So this is where we give it a name. So we'll say sample. Let's see.

322
00:30:57,948 --> 00:31:01,728
This is a sort of a beach trip, so we'll say beach video.

323
00:31:04,268 --> 00:31:11,768
The little gearbox next to the name of the video helps you determine the ratio, the resolution ratio.

324
00:31:12,218 --> 00:31:16,318
So if it's normal like landscape, you're going to choose a 16 by nine.

325
00:31:16,328 --> 00:31:18,408
If it's portrait, nine by 16.

326
00:31:18,428 --> 00:31:25,898
If it's, you know, sort of four by five, or if it's for Instagram or something like that, you can choose the 1 to 1 Instagram post.

327
00:31:26,438 --> 00:31:30,898
If you choose nothing, it will default to this first one, which is normal landscape like YouTube.

328
00:31:32,168 --> 00:31:38,388
Now, these these two things here are some effects that Rush can help you with auto reframe.

329
00:31:38,408 --> 00:31:46,118
What this does is let's say I shot some video at this nine by 16 portrait style, but now I want to make it landscape.

330
00:31:46,568 --> 00:31:54,218
I can choose that auto reframe and it will automatically sort of fill, take my portrait video and fill it into the landscape.

331
00:31:54,638 --> 00:32:02,078
And it will use artificial intelligence to look at the action that's going on in the video and it will follow the action.

332
00:32:02,468 --> 00:32:06,398
So if I shot somebody skiing down a slope, it would follow their movements.

333
00:32:06,398 --> 00:32:10,568
Or if I shot somebody driving a car, it would follow the car.

334
00:32:11,288 --> 00:32:12,638
So that's what that feature does.

335
00:32:12,998 --> 00:32:18,668
And then you can also just use this to make some sort of like slideshow and have it just pan and zoom your photos automatically.

336
00:32:18,998 --> 00:32:22,078
They call that like the Ken Burns effect if you watch those documentaries.

337
00:32:22,448 --> 00:32:27,848
So anyway, we're going to just hit the 16 right on and hit okay, because we just want a regular size.

338
00:32:28,418 --> 00:32:32,558
And then what we're going to do is says Select Media to create a new project.

339
00:32:32,558 --> 00:32:39,628
So that's what we're going to do. And I was going to pick like three video clips for now and notice it puts numbers on them.

340
00:32:39,818 --> 00:32:45,427
It will put them in that order. So this is how you can get really fast with your video creation editing.

341
00:32:45,428 --> 00:32:49,928
If you have these named properly or you know what they are, you can very quickly put them in order.

342
00:32:49,928 --> 00:32:53,288
Now you can rearrange that order. Of course, no problem.

343
00:32:53,618 --> 00:33:00,488
But if you know what you're doing and have an idea of what of your storyboard, you can create stuff really quickly.

344
00:33:00,788 --> 00:33:03,968
So we're going to choose all of our content and then we're going to hit create.

345
00:33:05,518 --> 00:33:11,847
And this might take a minute, depending on how long the videos are that you have selected to bring into the video editor.

346
00:33:11,848 --> 00:33:19,408
This one isn't very long and now we can try it out and you know, it's got some audio behind.

347
00:33:19,408 --> 00:33:25,317
It is just right here and all of that. You can see sort of the audio files as well right down.

348
00:33:25,318 --> 00:33:29,788
Here's the other people talking about noise and things like that.

349
00:33:30,718 --> 00:33:37,828
A couple of things that Rush does really well over the other Express right now is layering the video.

350
00:33:38,248 --> 00:33:43,528
So if we go to this control tracks option on the bottom left hand side,

351
00:33:44,008 --> 00:33:53,188
then we can really see how we can layer the video in the audio and we can do up to four layers of video and three layers of audio.

352
00:33:53,308 --> 00:34:01,078
This is handy because you might have likes sound effects, you might have a voiceover, you might have an interview, you might have music.

353
00:34:01,498 --> 00:34:06,868
So all these things you can add. So if we wanted to create so first of all, we can trim.

354
00:34:06,958 --> 00:34:10,978
Let's just do some basic editing. We can trim by clicking and dragging.

355
00:34:11,128 --> 00:34:16,018
It'll tell us what the numbers are up here as far as where it is in the timeline, so we can trim that out.

356
00:34:16,318 --> 00:34:22,468
What's nice too, is if I change my mind, I can pull it back out. So this is nondestructive editing, which is really nice.

357
00:34:23,068 --> 00:34:30,778
Also, let's say I wanted to sort of cut this clip. I can use the scissors over here, put the play head where I want to cut it, hit the scissors.

358
00:34:31,048 --> 00:34:35,568
And now these are two separate clips that I can move around if I decide I want to like,

359
00:34:35,818 --> 00:34:41,188
move it around on the timeline and have sort of a clip of the boat, then people, then the boat, I could do that.

360
00:34:41,698 --> 00:34:47,997
So these are some options. You can also duplicate like an entire track if you needed more content.

361
00:34:47,998 --> 00:34:52,858
That's a great way to kind of if you didn't get enough shots off, then you can do that.

362
00:34:53,668 --> 00:34:57,508
But here's what is really cool is this B-roll effect.

363
00:34:57,718 --> 00:35:00,927
So and also you can do this like picture in picture effects.

364
00:35:00,928 --> 00:35:08,458
So we're going to take some of this boat footage and we're going to put it on top of the people talking footage.

365
00:35:09,328 --> 00:35:19,168
So now we're going to have the boat and then the boat notice it's on top, but I can still hear the people talking here.

366
00:35:19,558 --> 00:35:23,757
So that's good. However, I still have this boat noise right there.

367
00:35:23,758 --> 00:35:29,338
I can see the wave form because there's boat noise going on and that's going to mess up these people talking.

368
00:35:29,728 --> 00:35:36,058
So here's a really neat feature that is really important for audio in your video.

369
00:35:36,808 --> 00:35:40,167
If we go over now to the left hand side, we have lots of menus.

370
00:35:40,168 --> 00:35:43,378
We can first of all, we can add some graphics like some text.

371
00:35:43,768 --> 00:35:50,338
We can add transition effects in between. We can also do some color correction or put a filter on.

372
00:35:51,148 --> 00:35:57,118
We can change the speed, make it faster or slower, but the audio is what we really want to check out right now.

373
00:35:57,568 --> 00:36:00,868
And then the crop and rotate. We'll come back to that.

374
00:36:01,228 --> 00:36:11,568
So first of all, the audio one. If we go to the audio one and notice we have this clip selected, what we can do is just mute this clip.

375
00:36:11,778 --> 00:36:16,158
So that is an option. Now, this clip will not be will not have any audio.

376
00:36:16,518 --> 00:36:19,847
And then we can hear the people talking in this clip.

377
00:36:19,848 --> 00:36:23,058
And we do not hear any boat noise. We just see the boat.

378
00:36:23,298 --> 00:36:31,398
So that is the idea of the. Now, you can keep stacking the videos up and whatever's on top will take precedence.

379
00:36:31,758 --> 00:36:37,698
So that's super important. That's the first kind of concept to understand, is that you can stack your video,

380
00:36:37,698 --> 00:36:44,478
but then pay attention to which audio you want to keep and make sure you can hear it and you can mute clips to do that.

381
00:36:44,808 --> 00:36:48,497
That's that's one option. Another thing we can do, though,

382
00:36:48,498 --> 00:36:59,538
if we go back to the crop and transform crop and rotate tool is we can actually do this picture in picture So we can actually reduce the size of this.

383
00:36:59,548 --> 00:37:05,388
We can even click and drag it around or we can use the sliders to kind of put it in exactly the right spot where we want.

384
00:37:05,838 --> 00:37:08,328
We can even reduce the opacity of it.

385
00:37:08,868 --> 00:37:16,548
This is a really neat feature if you need like to show somebody talking about several different things and then maybe those things pop up,

386
00:37:16,998 --> 00:37:22,128
you can stack them up here. Use the picture in picture and then those things are stacking up.

387
00:37:22,158 --> 00:37:25,248
This is also how you can get that sort of split screen effect.

388
00:37:25,638 --> 00:37:30,528
Because we could have this one be like, you know, half of it or something like that.

389
00:37:31,308 --> 00:37:34,808
We can even crop it so we can make it smaller.

390
00:37:34,818 --> 00:37:38,868
We can even crop over here, see, like this or like from the side.

391
00:37:39,588 --> 00:37:43,958
So we can make this more like a square feature. And then it's not taking up as much space.

392
00:37:43,968 --> 00:37:49,107
Or we could keep doing that and have all these squares of video that are all going at the same time.

393
00:37:49,108 --> 00:37:53,568
We can do that up to four pieces of video. So that's a neat effect that we can do.

394
00:37:54,648 --> 00:38:01,278
And also the transitions is another thing that is not present in Express just yet.

395
00:38:02,238 --> 00:38:08,238
If you go to the transitions, if you have a clip selected and you give it a transition like Dissolve,

396
00:38:08,478 --> 00:38:14,178
it'll automatically apply that transition to the beginning and the end.

397
00:38:14,208 --> 00:38:22,578
So if we watch our transition. Good morning, Philippines, and then over here dissolve right now if you just want it to one of them,

398
00:38:22,578 --> 00:38:30,708
I remember Control Z or you can undo or command Z if we want just the dissolve effect to be just in one section,

399
00:38:31,128 --> 00:38:37,458
then what we can do is just click and drag it to that one area and now it's just present in that section.

400
00:38:37,808 --> 00:38:41,748
Okay, so click and drag to just get one transition where you want it,

401
00:38:42,468 --> 00:38:46,398
because maybe a fade to black or fade to white would be good at the front or at the end.

402
00:38:47,388 --> 00:38:52,878
Here's where you can also find the pan and zoom effect. If you have images, you want it to just kind of go through.

403
00:38:53,298 --> 00:38:56,838
And then there's also the auto reframe. You can get to it here as well.

404
00:38:57,198 --> 00:39:03,708
So those are the transitions. We can also do some speed changes if we go back and choose this first boat clip.

405
00:39:04,218 --> 00:39:09,858
We can adjust the speed so we can either increase or decrease the speed.

406
00:39:10,188 --> 00:39:14,868
This is a great way to sort of stretch your content if you need to.

407
00:39:14,928 --> 00:39:21,798
So like if I didn't get enough boat footage or if I wanted it to look like more epic or something like that, that slows down a little bit.

408
00:39:22,218 --> 00:39:28,748
Or if you recorded a voiceover and you wanted to match the B-roll to that voiceover, that's one way to do it.

409
00:39:28,758 --> 00:39:32,568
If as long as you don't need the audio of this clip, because it'll stretch the audio too,

410
00:39:32,838 --> 00:39:37,418
so it'll sound funny, or you can tell it to maintain the audio pitch if you need it to.

411
00:39:37,428 --> 00:39:41,118
In this case, we would need to do just boat noise and so on.

412
00:39:41,808 --> 00:39:48,168
So that is speeding up or slowing it down. You can either choose the entire clip or just part of the clip, which is nice.

413
00:39:48,888 --> 00:39:54,167
And then we can also do some other things, like putting some filters on it, things like that.

414
00:39:54,168 --> 00:40:00,648
This is something that you have some access to and express. You can go in and choose like hue and saturation.

415
00:40:01,248 --> 00:40:03,828
This one has a bunch of presets built in though.

416
00:40:03,978 --> 00:40:10,818
So in Rush right now you have presets, presets built in so we can make it look more cinematic or cool,

417
00:40:11,178 --> 00:40:18,378
or as your Azure might work pretty good, Cyan might work to desaturated that not so good.

418
00:40:18,378 --> 00:40:20,778
That doesn't look good with that one. Deep shadow might be cool.

419
00:40:21,288 --> 00:40:29,058
And then you can also edit more finely and make it look like faded film, make it look sharper.

420
00:40:29,058 --> 00:40:34,488
There's even a vignette, you know, for like dream sequence type style or something like that.

421
00:40:35,058 --> 00:40:40,188
Or feather. There's a feather option, all kinds of stuff that you can choose there.

422
00:40:40,248 --> 00:40:46,428
Or you can just use the presets or you can change the temperature and adjust that, all of those things.

423
00:40:47,558 --> 00:40:54,578
So that's the color tab. And you can apply that to like a clip or multiple clips and so on.

424
00:40:54,608 --> 00:41:02,498
So those are some options there. Another important concept that has to do with audio is the music.

425
00:41:02,618 --> 00:41:07,088
So let's say we either recorded a voice, several say we did both of those things.

426
00:41:07,238 --> 00:41:15,038
Here's a trick that is also really neat. With an express, you can actually record a voice over right inside of Express.

427
00:41:15,048 --> 00:41:24,068
You can target this for recording. You can also go up here and say recorded voiceover, and then you can record a voiceover right within Rush,

428
00:41:24,098 --> 00:41:27,638
which can be really handy because if you've brought in a bunch of B-roll,

429
00:41:27,998 --> 00:41:35,878
a bunch of photos or videos that you took yourself and use one to record your voiceover, it this is a really fast way to do it.

430
00:41:35,888 --> 00:41:43,328
And you can watch the video play as you're talking and kind of match the speed of your speech to the video.

431
00:41:44,048 --> 00:41:51,158
So that is an option. You can record voiceover. You can also bring in some stock audio.

432
00:41:51,158 --> 00:41:55,718
So the stock audio that you saw and express also hear in Rush.

433
00:41:56,018 --> 00:42:03,068
So if we hit audio and then we want to bring in some sort of audio piece now they

434
00:42:03,068 --> 00:42:07,148
organize the audio into sort of three different categories their soundtracks,

435
00:42:07,328 --> 00:42:10,428
sound effects and also loops.

436
00:42:10,448 --> 00:42:14,257
So sound effects is kind of nice because you could add some effects like at the beginning,

437
00:42:14,258 --> 00:42:17,618
you know, to get people's attention and then start talking and that sort of thing.

438
00:42:18,668 --> 00:42:27,578
Lips are nice because they're like short pieces of music that work good for like intros and outros or some background music.

439
00:42:28,388 --> 00:42:34,958
And then whereas the soundtracks are kind of meant to go the entire length of the video or most of the length of the video and so on.

440
00:42:35,498 --> 00:42:40,058
So if we choose one that we like, we can play it here and preview it.

441
00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:45,518
But let's say we want this one, then we can choose AD it'll ad it wherever the player head is.

442
00:42:45,758 --> 00:42:51,818
So I want it at the beginning. That'll work. So we'll hit ad we'll get rid of this menu so we can see better.

443
00:42:52,208 --> 00:42:56,828
Now notice that this music is way too long. So here's another feature of Rush.

444
00:42:56,828 --> 00:43:01,798
You can zoom in and out using this little zoom bar that's the same as an express.

445
00:43:01,808 --> 00:43:04,958
You can do that as well, and you can just trim your audio here.

446
00:43:05,558 --> 00:43:10,778
Okay. So then we can zoom back in so we can see our video a little bit better of what we're working with.

447
00:43:12,118 --> 00:43:16,878
And this is copyright free of audio music that you can just use.

448
00:43:16,888 --> 00:43:22,528
Okay. Because as long as you're using it within the order in Adobe license and all of that, it's good for you to use.

449
00:43:22,738 --> 00:43:27,927
You cannot just bring in, you know, random pop music that you just downloaded from somewhere, right?

450
00:43:27,928 --> 00:43:33,538
If you don't have the rights to it, you cannot put it into your video. So always use music you have the rights to.

451
00:43:33,838 --> 00:43:41,247
Of course, if you wanted to add your own audio, you could browse and go find your own audio as well.

452
00:43:41,248 --> 00:43:47,908
You just add it through the media. So you go to your media, go to your folder, go to the media browser,

453
00:43:47,908 --> 00:43:54,297
go find where you have your music saved that you already recorded somewhere else or whatever and bring that file in.

454
00:43:54,298 --> 00:43:57,788
So that's an option too. So in this case, we tried.

455
00:44:01,358 --> 00:44:09,618
So talking. But here's the problem. We have the people talking and we have this music and they're equally loud.

456
00:44:09,828 --> 00:44:17,388
So that's a problem. So here's a major concept to understand with audio inside of video.

457
00:44:17,808 --> 00:44:22,818
What we can do is we can have the software determine for us.

458
00:44:23,268 --> 00:44:29,868
When should it reduce the volume of the music because people are talking.

459
00:44:30,018 --> 00:44:34,008
So it will detect that for us if we set it upright and we tell it to do that.

460
00:44:34,248 --> 00:44:40,128
Otherwise, it's going to play both of these at full blast. Right? So two things we have to do to kind of set that up.

461
00:44:41,058 --> 00:44:49,128
The first is to make sure that the software recognizes this audio as voice because this is the clip of the person talking.

462
00:44:50,118 --> 00:44:54,348
That's the voice audio. So we want to tell the software, give this a priority.

463
00:44:54,798 --> 00:45:01,488
And then the second thing is, we want to make sure that the software recognizes this as music that tells the software,

464
00:45:01,698 --> 00:45:07,668
give this, you know, D prioritize that, make this volume less whenever somebody is talking.

465
00:45:07,998 --> 00:45:12,378
So to do that, we're going to choose the video clip first of people talking.

466
00:45:13,098 --> 00:45:18,798
Go to the audio tab. And then what we're going to do is make sure that it recognized it as voice.

467
00:45:18,798 --> 00:45:22,868
And it did. That's great. So it did the correct thing.

468
00:45:22,878 --> 00:45:31,937
This is now recognized as voice. Perfect. And notice also we get some other options here using a I you can tell it to reduce the background noise,

469
00:45:31,938 --> 00:45:35,658
reduce the echo, enhance the speech, balance the sound.

470
00:45:36,198 --> 00:45:39,558
I wouldn't recommend check marking every single one of those options,

471
00:45:39,768 --> 00:45:50,148
maybe checkmark one of them and play it back and then try another one and play it back and pick whichever one sounds best to you so you can try that.

472
00:45:51,198 --> 00:45:57,138
Now we need to go is make sure that this it recognize this audio file as music.

473
00:45:57,138 --> 00:46:01,187
So we click the music file and it did it recognize it as as music.

474
00:46:01,188 --> 00:46:05,988
That's perfect. So now we're set up for the software doing the work for us.

475
00:46:06,498 --> 00:46:09,958
So here's what we're going to use. We're going to use this feature called Auto Duck.

476
00:46:10,758 --> 00:46:18,648
So what Ducking does is that it tells the audio or video editor to automatically lower the background

477
00:46:18,648 --> 00:46:25,607
music when someone is talking in the primary track or when whatever's going on in the primary track,

478
00:46:25,608 --> 00:46:33,648
if something is happening audio wise, it tells it give this one priority and then lower the volume of this one automatically for me.

479
00:46:34,068 --> 00:46:42,428
So what we can do is if we choose Auto Duck, it's going to take a second and figure out that audio notice right here.

480
00:46:42,438 --> 00:46:48,768
It has sort of this gray line that starts here and it goes down and then it goes all the way across and stays sort of low.

481
00:46:49,158 --> 00:46:53,928
That's the volume control on that particular piece of audio.

482
00:46:54,498 --> 00:46:57,878
So if I play this back, then it's going to be like loud music.

483
00:46:58,698 --> 00:47:03,438
Fading down background rock at the same time.

484
00:47:04,188 --> 00:47:09,167
Now, if it if I needed it to be even quieter, I could manually adjust that.

485
00:47:09,168 --> 00:47:17,118
If I needed to be not quite as quiet, I could manually adjust that as well until it what to what to what to reduce it by.

486
00:47:17,838 --> 00:47:25,638
But that is a really key source of saving yourself a lot of time, because otherwise,

487
00:47:25,638 --> 00:47:33,527
if you went through and sort of like tried to manually adjust the volume by just clicking like volume or just doing this manually,

488
00:47:33,528 --> 00:47:41,958
it wouldn't work, right. So this works best because it reads the waveform of the audio track in front of it and everything goes top down, right?

489
00:47:41,958 --> 00:47:49,518
So priorities are go top down in this interface and automatically lowers the volume of the music there.

490
00:47:49,838 --> 00:47:54,798
Okay. So that's how you can have background music along with somebody talking or along

491
00:47:54,798 --> 00:47:58,788
with your video that has important sound that you want people to be able to hear.

492
00:48:00,348 --> 00:48:07,998
Okay. So that's a major concept to understand. Another thing I'm going to show you is adding a text.

493
00:48:08,238 --> 00:48:12,948
So these are called titles or graphics or motion graphics.

494
00:48:13,428 --> 00:48:19,998
So to get to the motion graphics, on the right hand side, we have a graphics tab here.

495
00:48:20,568 --> 00:48:25,128
We also can get to it on the left hand side by going to graphics here.

496
00:48:25,788 --> 00:48:33,528
Now, at any time I could go add more content to my video by going to my media and then go navigating to where all my computer,

497
00:48:33,918 --> 00:48:40,268
the media is and all of that. And all this time, Rush is saving these this project as I go.

498
00:48:40,278 --> 00:48:44,298
So it's automatically saving and all of that. I can also hit preview.

499
00:48:45,548 --> 00:48:48,767
I can also adjust the monitor size.

500
00:48:48,768 --> 00:48:53,648
So if I really need to see the video better or I really need to see the tracks better, I can kind of adjust for that.

501
00:48:54,938 --> 00:49:01,118
All right. We are looking at graphics. So let's say we need sort of like a title graphic here.

502
00:49:01,358 --> 00:49:04,448
So what we can do is go to adding media graphics.

503
00:49:04,448 --> 00:49:12,277
We can also go to graphics on the right hand side. And then let's just pick some sort of basic title and then hit add.

504
00:49:12,278 --> 00:49:15,128
Wherever I have the play heads selected, it's going to add it.

505
00:49:16,128 --> 00:49:21,208
Now what it did and notice there's all kinds of other motion graphics titles you can search for.

506
00:49:21,228 --> 00:49:27,068
You can even look for them by what they are like a transition graphic or an overlay.

507
00:49:27,318 --> 00:49:30,828
And then you can add these and they'll mask the video.

508
00:49:30,838 --> 00:49:34,638
All kinds of neat stuff that you get access to totally for free within Russia.

509
00:49:35,718 --> 00:49:40,728
But now what it's going to do is it chose to add it as an as an overlay.

510
00:49:42,178 --> 00:49:45,498
Fine. If I want it to be an overlay, then I can.

511
00:49:45,508 --> 00:49:53,698
I can do that to make changes to this graphic. I can click it and then click the graphics tab over here, and then I can make adjustments.

512
00:49:54,448 --> 00:50:00,688
Now I can rename this, so I can call this whatever I want, so I just double click it to make changes.

513
00:50:00,958 --> 00:50:04,138
And this can be a [INAUDIBLE] video.

514
00:50:05,548 --> 00:50:11,607
That White isn't too great to see. So maybe I want to change the text color to something else.

515
00:50:11,608 --> 00:50:16,498
Like maybe this darker blue or something like that that looks better.

516
00:50:16,858 --> 00:50:21,718
I can even change the text outline the text shadow, the character spacing, the lines, spacing, you know,

517
00:50:21,748 --> 00:50:29,248
all kinds of neat stuff that you can make changes to where it is on the screen, the font style, the what font it is.

518
00:50:29,518 --> 00:50:40,078
So you get a lot of more options With the motion graphics templates, you get a lot more options this way in Rush than you do an express and express.

519
00:50:40,078 --> 00:50:45,387
You have to kind of like bring in your text and then animate it manually yourself every single time.

520
00:50:45,388 --> 00:50:49,768
So right now with Rush, it's a little bit better. You have some more better options.

521
00:50:51,448 --> 00:50:55,378
Now this is if it's an overlay, so it'll just do as an overlay.

522
00:50:55,378 --> 00:50:59,068
Oops, undo that. It'll just do this as an overlay.

523
00:51:00,028 --> 00:51:10,408
Yeah, there we go. Or if I want this to be on its own background, I can just drag it to the timeline and then I can kind of clip it a little bit.

524
00:51:11,008 --> 00:51:18,778
Yeah. So in that case, I might want to leave it y or I can choose like the background style and make that change and all of that.

525
00:51:18,778 --> 00:51:24,267
So you have some options there as far as your motion graphics and all of that.

526
00:51:24,268 --> 00:51:27,688
So that's pretty cool. So that's a nice way.

527
00:51:27,688 --> 00:51:32,818
And notice how it like did all that animation. I didn't have to do anything except select which one I wanted.

528
00:51:33,178 --> 00:51:37,648
So very easy to use helps you kind of get started with graphics.

529
00:51:37,648 --> 00:51:45,627
Okay, so that's graphics. We'll see. We did transitions, we did the speed and all of that when we did the audio and the crop and rotate.

530
00:51:45,628 --> 00:51:47,728
Yeah, so we pretty much did all those features.

531
00:51:49,588 --> 00:51:55,738
Other techniques you can do is really just layering the audio using the, the transform tool to that picture in picture.

532
00:51:56,458 --> 00:52:01,978
Also, you can, as you're editing, choose to mute or unmute certain tracks.

533
00:52:02,368 --> 00:52:06,478
I would just do that as you're editing. So if you really want to focus on the audio of this track,

534
00:52:06,478 --> 00:52:12,718
you could mute all these others just temporarily and focus on the editing that you need to do.

535
00:52:13,198 --> 00:52:19,528
This tells you sort of what where you are in the clip and how long that particular sequence is.

536
00:52:19,828 --> 00:52:23,937
So this whole sequence is a video, so we're in sequence.

537
00:52:23,938 --> 00:52:28,768
One is what it's called. And so this entire video is only 14 seconds long.

538
00:52:28,918 --> 00:52:34,048
Okay. So it kind of tells you what's going on there. You can also duplicate entire tracks.

539
00:52:34,048 --> 00:52:38,878
So if you wanted to copy a track and then delete parts of it or whatever you need to do, you could do that.

540
00:52:39,748 --> 00:52:41,998
And remember, this is nondestructive editing.

541
00:52:41,998 --> 00:52:47,938
So if you changed your mind about doing something, you could, you know, you trimmed out, you can interim at any time.

542
00:52:47,938 --> 00:52:51,808
So that's really easy and helps you kind of create your video.

543
00:52:52,528 --> 00:52:56,548
So let's say that we are finished with our video.

544
00:52:56,548 --> 00:53:04,377
We're happy with it. We're ready to share it. At this point, we can hit share and we can give it a file name.

545
00:53:04,378 --> 00:53:13,078
So we probably want to call this one beach video one or whatever, and then you can choose where on your computer you want to save it.

546
00:53:13,078 --> 00:53:16,648
So you would click here, bring up where on your computer you wanted to save.

547
00:53:17,038 --> 00:53:25,378
Right now it's to the C drive. That's fine. I like to send mine to the desktop so that I know exactly where it is and then I can upload it

548
00:53:25,378 --> 00:53:32,398
to Panopto from there or to box or whatever I need to do or to canvas if I'm turning it in.

549
00:53:33,748 --> 00:53:42,328
Notice right here. It tells me the estimated file size is really handy if you need to turn in a project to canvas and it has a limited file size,

550
00:53:43,348 --> 00:53:49,738
You can also upload your large videos to something like box and submit the link to canvas.

551
00:53:49,738 --> 00:53:55,467
So just talk with your instructor about that or you can upload it to whatever thing you need to put it on.

552
00:53:55,468 --> 00:54:04,648
Panopto is a great option as well right here you can tell it some advanced settings, so before you hit export you can make some changes.

553
00:54:04,648 --> 00:54:12,957
So if we want this one to be ten hp because it's landscape, that would be good if we want to leave it as 720 because for social media that's great.

554
00:54:12,958 --> 00:54:20,667
And notice Rush will even go up to this 4K ultra HD if your original video was shot on that resolution.

555
00:54:20,668 --> 00:54:29,818
Okay, so keep in mind, whatever quality video you're using and then you can tell it, what quality do you want it to export as?

556
00:54:29,818 --> 00:54:32,848
Usually that's high. You do want to leave it as high.

557
00:54:33,718 --> 00:54:37,828
If it was just for social media or something, you could probably do low or medium,

558
00:54:37,828 --> 00:54:42,868
but most of the time you're going to want high and then just change the resolution for whatever it is that you need.

559
00:54:43,808 --> 00:54:50,558
Notice you can export directly to YouTube or Facebook, but that's if you've, like, connected your own personal account to rush.

560
00:54:50,588 --> 00:54:53,408
If you choose to do that, you can. That's an option.

561
00:54:53,408 --> 00:54:58,478
But I'd like to just download it as MP four and then that way I can put it wherever I want and all of that.

562
00:54:59,048 --> 00:55:04,538
When you are ready with all of your settings and you know where it's going to go and all of that, you would hit export.

563
00:55:04,718 --> 00:55:08,708
I'm not going to hit that today because it might take a minute or two to render it.

564
00:55:09,338 --> 00:55:17,488
And also, as you are working with video, that's a really important feature to remember that video editing is a fairly involved process.

565
00:55:17,498 --> 00:55:27,368
It's complicated. When it's putting the rendering together, it means sort of taking all of your edits and finalizing them into one seamless video.

566
00:55:27,818 --> 00:55:33,818
And once it's got that seamless video made, it'll be on your desktop or wherever you tell it to save.

567
00:55:34,118 --> 00:55:40,138
But this process can take some time, and it's not good to interrupt that process.

568
00:55:40,148 --> 00:55:43,297
Just like when you're updating your computer, you don't want to interrupt that.

569
00:55:43,298 --> 00:55:50,108
It could because what could happen is your video file could get corrupted and then you might have to go create your video again.

570
00:55:50,288 --> 00:55:55,798
So if you are rendering your video, make sure you have time to allow that process to finish.

571
00:55:55,808 --> 00:56:01,478
Make sure you got power to your computer. Make sure you're not just shutting the lid to your laptop and running off to class.

572
00:56:01,718 --> 00:56:04,438
All of that. Make sure you've got time to get that done. Okay.

573
00:56:04,748 --> 00:56:09,848
And this is another reason why you should keep all of your raw video files in an online storage.

574
00:56:10,178 --> 00:56:15,308
So in case something does go terribly wrong with your computer that you've been working on the video on,

575
00:56:15,908 --> 00:56:20,048
then you at least have the raw files and you can go back and recreate the video.

576
00:56:20,138 --> 00:56:24,148
Yes, it will take some time to do that, but it would be even worse to lose all of that content.

577
00:56:24,158 --> 00:56:34,838
So set yourself up for success by being organized, having your master files available if needed, and allowing time for this process to complete.

578
00:56:35,498 --> 00:56:37,898
This is not a long video, so it would just take a few minutes.

579
00:56:37,898 --> 00:56:42,338
But if you've created a very long video in this, you're going to need to allow time for that to finish.

580
00:56:43,658 --> 00:56:53,018
If we were not going to export, if we were still editing and we were just done working for the day because Rush saves as you go,

581
00:56:53,048 --> 00:56:56,677
you don't have to like go to a file save or anything like that.

582
00:56:56,678 --> 00:57:00,518
But what is good practice is to go back to this home screen.

583
00:57:01,058 --> 00:57:07,238
If you go back to the home screen, that kind of forces rush to do that final save and closes the file.

584
00:57:07,748 --> 00:57:12,608
Then whenever you're ready to work on the project again, you just open up, rush,

585
00:57:12,998 --> 00:57:17,648
click your file, and you'll be back, open into the editor and you can continue working,

586
00:57:18,128 --> 00:57:24,398
make changes to it, and you can export the video and look at it and review it and then decide to make some changes,

587
00:57:24,398 --> 00:57:27,518
come back at it, re export the video again.

588
00:57:28,118 --> 00:57:35,107
So it's fine to do that process. Just, you know, make sure you're doing a good job taking care of your files and all that, especially with video.

589
00:57:35,108 --> 00:57:38,828
It can get a little a little hairy, so a little difficult to manage.

590
00:57:38,828 --> 00:57:44,828
So yeah, so hopefully that gives you guys some ideas about a rush.

591
00:57:45,158 --> 00:57:48,158
And also just getting started with video in general.

592
00:57:48,158 --> 00:57:51,728
We've got plenty of additional resources You're welcome to review.

593
00:57:52,648 --> 00:58:00,278
You know, also information about how to make your videos great, you know, from professionals as well.

594
00:58:00,668 --> 00:58:07,898
Some students are using Rush or Express video to make a 32nd intro video of themselves to LinkedIn.

595
00:58:08,678 --> 00:58:13,298
That's a great thing to do. This talks to you about how to do that and gives you some ideas.

596
00:58:13,748 --> 00:58:17,558
This is about captioning. Adobe Express will do the captioning.

597
00:58:17,558 --> 00:58:20,497
It has that option. Rush does not have the captioning.

598
00:58:20,498 --> 00:58:27,608
So whatever you upload your rush video to like youtube or Panopto, you then need to request the captions.

599
00:58:27,878 --> 00:58:31,328
This explains how to do that so that your videos are captioned.

600
00:58:31,598 --> 00:58:36,308
You can also get some great ideas by just looking at commercials and looking at different shots.

601
00:58:36,308 --> 00:58:39,518
This one's about video edit cuts that you can learn.

602
00:58:40,148 --> 00:58:48,097
And then there's additional things here to kind of help you with being, you know, copyright within copyright and all of that good stuff.

603
00:58:48,098 --> 00:58:51,608
So yeah, so thank you all so much for coming today.

604
00:58:52,298 --> 00:58:59,318
Hopefully this gave you some ideas about how to get started in video, both in Adobe Express and also in Adobe Rush.

605
00:58:59,918 --> 00:59:05,294
We've got additional workshops available at library RB slash library workshops and you'll receive a follow
