My poor little red cup. Ouch Ouch. What a day yesterday. For those who watched my
food B roll which I filmed with my smartphone and DJI Osmo mobile 3 gimbal,
many of you requested to see how I edited this final video sequence. Today
let's go through this step by step.
And if you are new here, welcome. My name is
Zdenka Darula. If you want to learn how to take better photos and videos with
the latest gear and possibly participate in creative camera challenges like the
one coming up on Monday, consider subscribing. Let me play the b-roll again.
I decided to edit the final video sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro simply
because when I'm editing the video on my smartphone, the apps I'm using are quite
limited, they are not giving me complete control like I would normally get when I
was editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.
I filmed at 120 frames per second in Filmic Pro on my Android. Imported it to
24 frames per second timeline and started editing. Lots of the clips were
slowed down to 20% or not even that slow. If I saw some clips turning out a little
bit jittery, I simply used optical flow feature. I discussed it in one of my
recent videos and I'll link it in the video description below for those who
want to check it out. The reason I didn't follow the rule to slow it down always
to 20% is because I made it work for me and the music. I didn't let that stop me
in creative process. The first clip where the flashes, I was using that
Falcon Eyes F7 light and when I imported the clip on a timeline and then played it with
the music I literally started laughing. I didn't have to do a thing. The flashes
were fitting with the rhythm of the music on its own. I got extremely lucky.
That was a very lucky one. The next clip follows going from black background
onto the strudel. Some of you commented that you really like the way I pronounce
it. Well, that's how we say it. Apple strudel. Second clip follows which
had speed ramping because it is a transition. I made it to go fast from
black background on to strudel, then I slowed it down.
How do you know how much you want to speed it up with speed ramping? Well,
there's not really a rule. You gotta listen to the music, to the rhythm and
make sure it's actually fitting with the music. So the speed I am using has
nothing to do how I want the effect to look like. It's more about fitting to the
right rhythm. Another clip follows and then zoom out clip which I slowed down
in the second half even more.
Here's the first glitch which is not really a glitch. Very short clip as I was
shaking the camera from side to the other side. Then three clips follow just
slowed down and glitch again. Another clip and last glitch. Apple transition is
the last effect. At first slow and then I used speed ramping to make the end
very fast as the camera went in through the Apple. Next clip starts very fast.
Again, I use the speed ramping and cranked it up all the way to make the
transition smooth. I added cross dissolve between those two Clips and shorten it
as much as I could so it looked quite smooth. Final clip just ends by using dip
to black effect and that's all. It is actually very simple. What is hard, is the
actual editing. Cutting the clips into the beats of the music, so you end up
listening it over and over,r trying to figure out when the next cut will
happen. Also what is quite difficult is figuring out the order of the clip so it
all makes sense and it looks very interesting. To be perfectly honest it's
sort of like a puzzle and that little puzzle took about three hours to
accomplish. So what happened to my little red cup? Those little two chips? This
is the only red cup I really have. It's quite expensive went to bought it in
dollar store. As we are home in self-isolation now for eleven days, it is
quite challenging to actually keep creating, to keep going, coming up with new
content, being full of energy and all that. I originally had completely
different video scheduled. I originally thought I'm gonna make a completely
different video. I wanted to do video about transitions you can do with the
DJI Osmo Mambo 3 so you can try it at home but I didn't have the whole script
written word by word. I only had few notes and my head, my brain was full of
those news and what is happening all around the world right now,
so as I was trying to concentrate and work and because I'm a Mom kids were
coming to the room knocking on the doors one by one asking, can I have this snack,
and that and can I have Kako and all that. Obviously I was losing my
concentration I was losing the train of thoughts. I simply couldn't do it, so I
said enough is enough, this is a simply garbage. And as I was going to the
kitchen all frustrated, my son asked me for something else
and obviously this slipped out of my hand, flew right on the floor and this is
the outcome. See, we all are facing all kinds of challenges but we need to be
responsible and work with those challenges. Being said, the video will
happen next Friday. I'm definitely gonna make it but right now I just simply have
to first write down the script step by step, word by word, just because I don't
have that distraction free time right now. To all of you which are trying to
create, I know firsthand how hard it is right now but if we get through those
hard times, it's gonna make us only stronger. For the rest of you, the way you
