What are sound and shadow? Can you convert the video on the card into various file formats on the computer?

Step bar: It is divided into seven steps, such as capturing and editing special effects superimposed titles and shared audio, clicking and switching with the mouse.

(2)

Gallery area: according to the classification of materials, design a gallery manager to make the material classification more systematic when doing projects.

(3)

Preview area: including preview window, trim bar and play control bar, so that what you see is what you get.

(4)

Workspace: according to the needs of different steps, you can switch between script mode and timeline mode, and the main material combination is completed here.

(5)

Function setting area: Personalized advanced settings for different steps and materials. To make distinctive works, you need to spend more time here and be familiar with the changes of various parameters.

In addition, in the redesigned file menu, you can perform basic functions such as editing project templates, personal preferences and file storage.

1-2

Design principle and operation of gallery area

Have a deep understanding of the application of gallery area and the correct management of material classification.

In five chapters, from 1-2 to 1-6, the operation of each functional area is demonstrated in depth, and the new functions of Huisheng Huiying 7 are introduced.

The gallery area is where audio and video 7 are placed. According to the material attributes, the system preset seven attribute folders, including video image, audio color transition, video filter, text and so on. In the video project, a new video 3D gallery has been added.

When doing a project, in order to avoid confusion, it is often necessary to classify materials, so we can use the gallery manager to help you create folders. After creating a folder, you can load materials into the folder by starting the operation of loading materials. At this time, the computer records the existence path of the material instead of copying and pasting, and generates thumbnails in the gallery area. The material properties of the customized new folder include video, image, audio and title.

Fill in the folder name in the blank and add comments.

Supported video file formats:

Avi, mpeg- 1, mpeg-2, FLC, fli, animated GIF, QuickTime movies, UIS, etc.

Picture file format:

BMP, CLP, Cur, DSC, EPS, FPX, GIF, ICO, IFF, IMG, JPG, PCD, PCT, PCX, PIC, PNG, PSD, PXR, RAS, RLE, SCT, SHG, TGA, TIF, WMF, etc.

Audio file format:

Aif, aifc, aiff, au, avi, mov, MP3, mpeg- 1, mpeg-2, Qt, wav, etc.

Design principle and operation skills of 1-3 preview area

The preview area is like a window to the soul. What you see is what you get, so you can know the progress of the project at the first time.

In five chapters, from 1-2 to 1-6, the operation of each functional area is demonstrated in depth, and the new functions of Huisheng Huiying 7 are introduced.

The preview area includes a preview window, a trim bar and a playback control bar:

( 1)

Preview window: mainly for users to watch the results of movie clips directly.

(2)

Trim columns:

In the material mode, you can edit the material, adjust and set the start time (in point) and end time (out point) of the mark, and perform the operation of removing weeds from the material. In project mode, the settings of In point and Out point can specify the preview range of the project.

(3)

Play control bar:

A set of buttons perform the action of playing in material mode and project mode, and fine-tune the picture frame up and down. When in/out (defining the preview area) is set in the project mode, hold down the SHIFT key and press the Play Material key at the same time to preview the area.

In addition to the above three parts, there are two important points to note:

( 1)

Time code: expressed in hours, minutes, seconds and grids respectively.

The video standard in Taiwan Province Province is NTSC, which is characterized by 29.97 frames per second (usually 30 frames). So in the frame part, every 30 frames is 1 sec.

(2)

There are three buttons on the right side of the playback control bar, representing Undo, Redo and Scissors respectively, in which Scissors can split the material in two at a specified time.

Design principle and operation skills of 1-4 workspace

The switch between script mode and timeline mode provides the most complete nonlinear editing place.

In five chapters, from 1-2 to 1-6, the operation of each functional area is demonstrated in depth, and the new functions of Huisheng Huiying 7 are introduced.

Script mode of workspace

Timeline mode of workspace

The workflow of the workspace is to drag materials with different attributes from the gallery area to the workspace by clicking with the mouse. The new function of Audio-Visual 7 will add the preset transition effect between materials, which can also be used.

Click in the lower left corner of the workspace.

Button to add media materials directly to the workspace for collection and editing.

, special effects and other steps, the workspace is preset to run in script mode.

When switching to timeline mode, five material tracks (video track overlapping track title track audio track music track) are arranged layer by layer in the workspace. With the adjustment of the time scale, the editing process is more transparent.

In addition, when there are too many materials, you can call the script extension mode for editing. Script extension mode

Design principle and operation skills of 1-5 function setting area

It is not enough to make a work different just by applying a template. The function setting area allows you to customize parameters and give full play to your imagination.

In five chapters, from 1-2 to 1-6, the operation of each functional area is demonstrated in depth, and the new functions of Huisheng Huiying 7 are introduced.

Function setting area

Basically, the function setting area is the most important place in the film editing process, especially when you want to make a unique work, you must fully understand the meaning of each item. Many new functions of AV 7 exist in this part. For example, in version 7.0, the effect of adding fast and slow motion to a movie is to change the playback speed item in the function setting area of video material, and the function setting area is also the easiest to change. Materials with different attributes will correspond to different function settings.

( 1)

Segmentation function by scene: video material can be automatically scanned and segmented according to the difference between film frames.

(2)

Multiple video editing functions:

A common example is that when a program is snapped, you can use this function to remove multiple advertisements at once.

(3)

Change of playback speed:

Not only the video material in the video track can move fast and slow, but also the video material in the overlapping track can move fast and slow, with the speed ranging from one tenth to ten times.

(4)

Image material rotation function:

Rotate the image material clockwise/counterclockwise, and get the best image editing effect through resampling option.

1-6 file menu items and advanced function settings

Project formats and preferences give you a better understanding of what the software has done for you.

In five chapters, from 1-2 to 1-6, the operation of each functional area is demonstrated in depth, and the new functions of Huisheng Huiying 7 are introduced.

file menu

The appearance of file menu itself is a new function of AV 7, which integrates some basic file access actions, project template editing and parameter setting into a menu-based way, which is more in line with the general operating habits of application software under Windows system.

After starting Audio & Video 7, it is best to check the current project content. If you need to modify it, click the edit button and select the new project content in the compressed page.

In preferences, you can change the items that the program automatically executes, such as starting the preset transition effect and changing the display mode of the material.

In addition, there are links to Woori information websites, startup documents and other functional options to help you understand the contents of Video 7.

Second, the extraction step

Using the linkage of DV camera, the film is captured to the computer hard disk.

The play key can directly control the DV camera.

Audio and video provide users with the action of searching compressed DV video data from DV cameras through IEEE 1394 interface, finding the video clips to be captured and transmitting them. In addition to DV-AVI format can be directly stored on the hard disk, if hardware resources allow, you can also directly convert files into MPEG, DVD, VCD and SVCD through software. AVI's WMV file and online video specification are stored in the specified hard disk folder. These captured clips are put directly into the workspace, and the thumbnail of each clip is added to the video gallery area.

The captured clips are arranged in order in the workspace.

Before shooting, DV must be connected to the computer through a transmission line, and the camera must be switched to the playback mode (VCR). At this point, the system will go through the process of automatically detecting hardware devices. After finding the camera, the function setting area will list the brand of the camera, and then use the playback control bar to find the clip to shoot.

Sharp's DV camera was detected.

There are three ways to capture movies:

( 1)

Set the capture length directly in the time period code, and then press the capture video button.

(2)

Click the capture video button with the mouse to manually decide the start and end of capture.

(3)

Batch capture: first set the entry/exit points of multiple clips, and then the computer will automatically capture multiple clips.

Batch capture task list creation

Audio and video 7.0 not only supports DV camera shooting, but also supports Sony's new digital standard MicroMV. In addition to the camera, if the computer is equipped with a TV card, the audio and video will automatically detect the hardware, bring up the turntable window in the option button menu, and directly select channels and record in the audio and video.

Third, the editing steps

Delete unnecessary fragments and build the framework of the project.

The so-called movie editing can be roughly divided into two parts: splicing and special effects synthesis. All the special effects synthesis steps are meaningful only after the material is spliced. The concept of splicing is actually the process of removing weeds and retaining anthocyanins, which is a part of editing steps in audio-visual interaction.

3- 1 editing skills of materials

Like cutting, not cutting, using in/out points, weeding and saving flowers.

The material here actually refers to the video material and image material (including color material) in the work area, especially the video material. Generally speaking, the movie clips we get may not need the whole application, and the usual processing method is from beginning to end. This operation must be performed through the Set Start Time/Set End Time button in the spin bar.

When the material finishes setting the mark start and the mark end, the mark points at both ends of the trimming bar will also move at the same time. This action is not to cut the material directly, but to tell the computer to only process the film between the two ends when previewing the project. To really generate another movie, you need to save the cropped video in the function setting area.

In Audio-Visual 7, three new functions have been added to the function setting area of editing step, including scene segmentation, multiple video clips and options for changing playback speed. The detailed operation method has been demonstrated in section 1-5.

But when editing, in addition to directly dragging the time slider to find the correct time point, you usually need to cooperate with the buttons in the playback control bar to find the accurate time point.

There are two main modes in the playback control bar: material mode and project mode. In material mode, playback can only preview the material, but when switching to project mode, the preview range can span all edited materials in the whole workspace. In addition, in the project mode, the area between the marked points at both ends of the trim bar represents the selection area, and you can preview the selection area by holding down the SHIFT+Play key.

3-2 Application of Video Filter

I like the design of Hollywood special effects using key frames, and the effect is used to the extreme.

The application of video filter is another important function of editing step, and it is also a part of special effect synthesis. The types and effects of video filters can be known from the dynamic thumbnails of video filters in the gallery area.

Video filter library

The object of the filter is the material in the workspace. To apply a filter, drag it directly from the gallery area onto the footage in the workspace, and then release the mouse. At this point, the video filter project applied to the material will be displayed in the function setting area.

Multiple video filters can be applied to a single material at the same time, and the effects are additive. When the filters are arranged in different order, the effect will be different. In the part of custom filter, a powerful control point adjuster has been added to Audio & Video 7, which was previously only available in advanced video editing software, so that audio & video can affect the change of filter effect to a higher level.

Custom Filters dialog box

The design principle of control point regulator is as follows:

( 1)

Parameters can only be modified if there are control points.

(2)

When the parameters of different control points are different, the intermediate parameter values gradually decrease or decrease by equal addition or equal reduction.

(3)

You can add control points and change parameter values, or delete the added control points.

(4)

Some video filter control point adjusters have no parameters to adjust, such as inverse filter.

Fourth, special effects steps

Classification and application skills of transitional special effects.

In this step, sounds and shadows are used to set the transition effect. The so-called transition effect refers to the transformation mode between materials in the workspace. In the gallery area, there are 100 kinds of transition effects in the form of dynamic thumbnails for users to see at a glance.

Transition dynamic thumbnail

Because there are too many styles of transition effects, the gallery area is divided into 13 folders by folder.

In fact, in the editing step, you can already see the transition effect in the workspace. This is because the new function of AV 7 automatically uses the transition effect by default. To modify this feature, you must select preferences from the File menu and make changes under General Pagination.

The effect time of transition special effects can be changed in the function setting area, and the corresponding function setting items can be advanced according to the different attributes of individual items.

In fact, when editing a movie, the links between the materials don't have to use the transition effect, and sometimes it will be better without the transition effect.

Fifth, the overlapping step

5- 1 video superposition technology

Do picture-in-picture, stack materials and do actions!

When the video material is used as the overlay material, the basic parameter settings of the video material, including the changes of the length, volume and playback speed of the material, are saved in the function setting area.

For the function setting items corresponding to the superimposed material properties, there are four items in the action paging, namely direction/style, position, zoom and transparency setting.

( 1)

Direction/Style: Static effects By default, other effects include fading and moving.

(2)

Position: The default anchor point is in the center, and you can adjust any position with a custom anchor point.

(3)

Scaling ratio: 100% is the original size.

(4)

Transparency: The greater the value, the more transparent it is, up to 99.

5-2 Image Overlay Technology

Using the information of Alpha channel for hollow superposition.

When the image material is used as superimposed material, the basic operation is basically the same as that of the video material. The biggest difference is that when the image material containing ALPHA channel is used for synthesis, a hollow superposition effect will be formed.

Hollow overlapping material

Synthetic effect

When synthesizing image materials, we should pay special attention to the relationship between project size and overlapping material size, so as to achieve ideal results.

Sixth, the title steps

Text can be subtitled or subtitled.

In the process of film editing, the application of title text is indispensable. Audio and video can generate text titles and apply animation effects directly in the preview window.

Making and Editing the Appearance of 6- 1 Text

How to use the existing text template to customize the three-dimensional effect of text?

Before making subtitle text, you must switch to the subtitle step. In timeline mode, the subtitle track is just below the overlay track in the work window.

In the function setting area at the top left, there is a button to make/update the title. Press this button to enter text in the preview window. Video 7 provides a faster way. In the title step, click in the preview window with the mouse to enter the action of making/updating the title.

In addition to making text, users can also decide the basic attributes of text, such as font size, font, line spacing, bold and italic, color and so on. , even making vertical text titles can be changed as long as it is checked. In the Outline/Shadow/Transparency dialog box, you can set a text box for the text, increase the shadow and change the transparency. Is a very practical and beautiful text modeling tool, set up.

In the title gallery area, there are several text appearance styles with built-in sounds and shadows. When using it, drag it directly to the title track, and then replace the original text with new text, so as to keep the original appearance settings.

6-2 Action Skills of Text Titles

Lively action settings make words not only the function of annotations, but also the protagonist!

As mentioned above, the title text can make the title of the finished text move with the sound and shadow, and several function settings can be found in the animation paging:

( 1)

Type:

It can be divided into five categories: flying, fading in and out, zooming, fast display and rotation, among which fast display and rotation are new items in video 7.

(2)

Starting unit:

When the title text is displayed at the starting point, there are four options: unit of animation, single-line character, and all.

(3)

Starting position:

Displays the position of the title text at the starting point. The default value is centered, so there is no action by default.

(4)

End device and location:

Setting the same starting point only represents the effect at the end of subtitle text animation.

(5)

Still:

You can set a pause time between the start and end of the animation. By default, there is no pause.

In addition to custom animation effects, there are several preset animation effects in the gallery area. When using, you can see the application results in the preview area by clicking the action mode in the gallery area.

Seven. Audio steps

The supporting application of audio is the finishing touch.

After the film is edited, if there is no sound matching, the whole taste will not come out, so the audio step is to deal with dubbing/soundtrack. In fact, in the previous operation, the film itself had some sounds. If it is a documentary, it is very important to keep these live sounds. However, if you have to give up these recorded sounds for some purpose, or adjust the volume, you must first make adjustments in the material function setting area of the editing step. In this audio step, the processed sound refers to the added audio file. In the workspace of timeline mode, you can find two audio tracks, the upper one is the audio track, and the lower one is the music track.

7- 1 narrator's recording skills

Look at the picture with narration, and you can hear it everywhere you see it.

Audio and video recording provides the function of recording narration while watching pictures on the time axis. The operation steps are as follows: first, use the time slider to move to the time point when dubbing begins, and then determine whether the microphone has been installed.

Then press the record button in the function setting area.

After pressing the record button, a volume adjustment dialog box will pop up, where you can test the volume. Audio and video do not provide the function of directly adjusting the volume, so we must adjust it in the microphone volume adjustment window of the system:

( 1)

Find the speaker icon in the lower right corner of the desktop, press the right button, and select Open Volume Control.

(2)

Execute the options/contents in the pop-up dialog box.

(3)

Select the recording item in the dialog box that appears, and make sure that the microphone item is selected.

(4)

You can adjust the volume of the microphone in the pop-up window.

After confirming that the volume is ok, press the start button to record the narration.

When the narration recording is finished, click the Stop Recording Sound button in the ribbon to stop the recording operation. At this time, you will find that there is an audio material in the voice track of the workspace, which is the narration material that has just been completed. The volume of this material can be adjusted in the function setting area. If the recorded audio material needs to be trimmed, you can further set the start and end times in the preview area.

7-2 Recording of Background Music

In addition to using the audio library, you can also add your favorite CD music to the project.

The use of background music has several audio materials built into the audio gallery area. The way to use them is to drag them directly to music tracks or voice tracks with the mouse. In fact, the music track and the vocal track are both audio tracks, and audio materials can be placed, which means that both audio tracks can be used for mixing at the same time.

In addition to using existing audio files as the soundtrack, Huisheng Huiying also provides the functions of capturing files from music CDs into music tracks and moving files. The operation method is as follows:

(1) Put the CD into the CD-ROM drive and let the program detect it.

(2) Once the CD is recognized, the audio tracks in the CD will be displayed at the same time, and a song will be selected for audition.

(3) To record music, first find out the starting point of music, press the record key, and then press the stop key to stop recording. At this time, you can find the music clip you just recorded in the music track.

For audio, in addition to adjusting the overall volume and trimming the material, when connecting two pieces of music, the common skill is to use the fade-in and fade-out effect so that the conversion process will not be too abrupt.

Eight, sharing steps

Share good things with good friends, and distribute the results of the project to relatives and friends on CD.

When the whole project goes to share this step, it is also time to accept the results. In this step, you can choose how to output the content of the project and distribute the finished product to friends and relatives for sharing.

8- 1 making video files

Output the project as a video file, supporting various audio and video specifications.

After editing the whole project, the most frequently selected output item is to create a video file. Click the Create Video File button in the function setting area, and there are two options.

( 1)

Create a video file in the same format as the project. The project format can be observed in the project content of the file menu.

(2)

User-defined format: select a user-defined item, and in the pop-up dialog box, you can output all video specifications supported by AV 7, including common video files such as AVI, MPEG, MOV, WMV, etc. For a specification file, you can also set details such as compression format, frame size and playback rate. , and select the appropriate file format for output as needed.

Select file type

Select compression format

8-2 Making Interactive CD

Brand-new interactive menu making wizard, let the imagination play freely.

Audio-visual 7 provides a brand-new DVD production module. The new module can call video files outside the project, even another project without calculation output, and add DVD production.

Audio-visual 7 can provide a two-layer menu structure in DVD menu making, and make sub-menu content by establishing chapter points.

Entering the menu template step, you can not only choose beautiful built-in templates, but also extract your own menu background and add background music to play.

The last step is burning. Audio and video 7 widely supports various brands of DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, +VR and CD-R/RW programming devices. It adopts brand-new technology to make the combustion process fast and stable. In addition to burning directly on the CD, you can also store the DVD content in the hard disk first, and then use the burning program to perform the burning action after testing.
