MGD 143 Motion Graphics I

Create a viral Youtube video on a subject that you have a passion for

I used this as an example because I just did the trail and it's what's on my mind right now

The focus of this project is to work with some type of video capture device, import video and graphics into After Effects, exporting the video and file management

First do some research:
- Google search for how to create a viral video - Watch at least one
Second shoot some video
- Use any one of these devices:
  - Smart phone
  - Check out one of our cameras - I will be demonstrating in class
  - Any one of your own video devices
- Download the video file into a project folder
In After Effects, create a new project and save into the same project folder
Import video and graphics by double/clicking in the project panel in After Effects and create a comp using the footage
- Add any kind of graphic to your After Effects project to enhance the video File>Import >File
- Drag it down to the timeline above the video layer
- Next render out to Adobe Media Encoder
  - Choose File > Export > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue.
  - After waiting an hour for the software to load (kidding...sort of) go to the top right panel and find the small blue text
  - Choose the left most text that says H264 and click the drop-down arrow and keep default (H264). This is the primary video format we will be exporting.
  - Click the far right text and save the output to the project folder
  - Navigate to the folder to find the mp4 which you will upload to the D2L folder called Viral Video
    Here is the process:
