Adobe Premiere

This week we are working with Adobe Premiere. Here’s a handy introduction Powerpoint, courtesy of Samantha Harlow at High Point University.

Here is a nice how-to/intro video on Premiere Pro CC.

And here is a video on the recent changes to “titles,” which is how you put text on your video. You will need this when you go to ID speakers on the screen.

• Each page must include links.
• Four of the five (excluding resume page) must include media of some sort (picture or multimedia)
• Must have an Adobe Spark Video presentation (can be your previous slide show assignment) on your Multimedia page
• MAKE SURE ALL LINKS WORK BEFORE GIVING ME THE SITE ON A JUMP DRIVE.

Adobe Spark Video Slideshows

Hi folks,

We covered how to create a narrated photo slideshow using Adobe Spark Video. Your assignment is as follows:

• You can do either a news story, a how-to, a tour, or something original (must be approved by me so that you aren’t doing the same thing).
• No music videos or tours of your home/apartment/dorm/residence hall.
• Must include at least two voices (yours and one other)
• Minimum 3 minutes long
• Minimum 20 photos (taken by you and only you)
• At least half of all photos must include people
• Must be timed appropriately to soundtrack
• Does not have to be the same as your blog
• Must also be posted to Twitter and shared with me with @docdunn

And here is a quick comprehensive video on how to use the Adobe Spark Video software. Remember, you must take the photos. So no using stock photos from Adobe.

Audio & Adobe Audition

In class, we discuss audio, audio editing, podcasting and Adobe Audition.

We also cover the fundamentals of broadcasting, sound recording, interviewing, sound editing, and posting.

Here’s a video on Adobe Audition.

And here is a link on how to change volume settings in the volume envelope underneath the music track.

Find the heading “Automating track settings” to see the how-to on that page.

When you get done with your podcast, you want to export the project, mix it down to an mp3 and upload it to Podomatic. After that is done, you get the Podomatic link and share it back on your blog in a post.

WordPress Widgets

Just another reminder:

First off, your blog is whatever your username was on WordPress. So my blog is docdunn.wordpress.com. So your blog will be yourusername.wordpress.com.

To get to the dashboard, where we control everything in WordPress, you will need to go to https://yourusername.wordpress.com/wp-admin. Remember to replace yourusername with the user name you used to create your blog. Bookmark this site.

Here is a video on WordPress widgets, such as Search, Twitter Timeline, Instagram, RSS, RSS Links, and Links, and how to add them to your blog.

Here is a great video on WordPress. It is a short one. But if you want to revisit anything I’ve said or discussed, you will probably find it in this video.

Or here is a longer one.

And here’s a quick video on embedding media in WordPress.
