    ASC #53: Split Toning

    If you're familiar with Lightroom, you know what Split Toning is: pushing the shadows and highlights of a shot towards different hues. Who said it can't be done in Media Composer? No one? I didn't think so.

    ASC #52: Let It Snow!

    It's almost Christmas and I did the Santa last year. What's left? Snow! So this week, we're going to add snow to an image and we'll use a couple of advanced options to make it look ab bit more real (or a bit less fake, depending on your perspective). SHOW NOTES I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas or happy holidays or whatever you celebrate! Have a good time, appreciate your family (even though it may be hard!) and get yourself out of the edit suite for a couple of days (even though it may be hard!)

    Special Announcement

    Starting January 1st, I'll have a new job. While that's a good thing, it also means a lot more work. So more work plus wanting to spend time with my family now and again means less time for the podcast. Right now, I'm doing a show a week, and I'm spending pretty much a whole day on each show. I will not be able to keep going at this rate. So long story short: There'll be a lot less podcasts next year. I'm sorry, I know it's important to keep posting regularly, but I just won't be able to do it any longer. I hope you guys understand, keep watching the podcast and keep posting me your questions, suggestions, stories, anything!

    ASC #51: Animated Video Playbar with Marquee - Part II

    This week, we'll continue creating a semi-transparent video progress bar as you know them from Youtube et. al. Last week, we created the background elements in Marquee, this week, we'll create the remaining elements and then animate them in Media Composer.

    ASC #50: Animated Video Playbar with Marquee - Part I

    This week and next, we'll create a semi-transparent video progress bar as you know them from Youtube et. al. We'll create the elements in Marquee, then (next week) animate in Media Composer. The cool thing about this approach is that you'll be able to change the length of the animation to fit your piece of video just by trimming it!

    ASC #49: Sports Trailer Look

    This week, another viewer suggestion: We'll create the high-contrast, saturated look that is common to many sports trailers. We'll also play around with BCC's Glow and add some flicker to the shots.

    ASC #48: Surveillance Camera Effect

    This week, we'll make footage look like it has been shot with a surveillance camera by distorting and degrading it. Plus, when we switch "cameras", we'll make the image break up for just a fraction of a second. SHOW NOTES If you want to manipulate your footage a bit further, try the Film Damage Effect from the BCC Effects category. Many of the option will not improve your result, but I like the Flicker option. The idea for this week's show comes from Evan Crichton of Veejo Digital Video Production: http://www.veejo.co.uk/ Check out the blog entry for this week's episode: http://avscr.de/48 Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/avidscreencast Become a fan of the Avid Screencast on Facebook: http://facebook.com/avidscreencast

    ASC #47: Audio Basics VII - Audio Effects

    In this last episode in the audio series, I'll show you how to apply audio effects in Media Composer and a couple of neat real-world tips (like limiting you master output) that will hopefully help you out one day or another. SHOW NOTES You should know what a compressor/limiter is, how it works and how you set it up. This website explains it -- don't be fooled by its gruesome looks (after all, it was designed by an audio guy): http://www.pcmus.com/compressors.htm Check out the blog entry for this week's episode: http://avscr.de/47 Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/avidscreencast Become a fan of the Avid Screencast on Facebook: http://facebook.com/avidscreencast
