Full Size jpegs converted from RAW files in Adobe
Lightroom 3 Software
-
Load PowerDirector Software and click on the left - Full Feature
Editor icon
-
Jpegs imported into PowerDirector 10 Software
(Edit Mode - File/Import - Edit screen fills up)
-
Each Jpeg
(mouse) dragged down into the 1st video column to
form a long strip of jpegs (a video file or video files are imported
and dragged down to the 1st video column the same way where they are
combined and can be edited/scene trimmed)
-
All jpegs (mouse) highlighted in the strip and
the common Duration time set for 7 seconds each (highlighting the
strip saves time as they are all set together)
-
Title Room accessed and a jpeg imported and
edited for a 'Start' file with an 'on the image' video title, saved to hard drive
-
Start file appears automatically in the Title Room screen
window - drag and insert at the beginning of the jpeg strip
-
Transition Room accessed and a 'Collapse 1 style'
breakup transition dragged and dropped between each jpeg on the
strip (shows up
as a thin green box between the jpegs which can be edited for
effect)
-
Subtitle Room accessed - move the video bar
pointer/line along
to the start point in a jpeg on the strip and at that point hit the + sign in the
software window and then in the subtitle field 1 (that appears) type
in the time duration and image information (repeat for all jpeg
images - the subtitle fields runs 1,2,3,4,5, etc and displays the
numbers on the jpeg strip at their assigned places
-
If you are adding in music - import it into the software from file
or disc - it pops up in the EDIT screen and then (mouse) drag the
file down onto the audio column under the video/jpeg strip
-
Play the video of the stills to test (music, starter
information, fade, titles)
-
Save the project to the hard drive
-
Go to the PRODUCE section, select Mpeg-4, browse
the OUTPUT line and type in the name of the new video (Mpeg-4 would
not work in the trial version - it stated that the sound card was
not compatible but it worked fine in the final download ULTRA
version)
-
Click on the START button at the bottom left of
the screen and the video starts to render and is automatically saved
to the file you made in the OUTPUT line
-
Check the video for upload to YouTube
-
Pre-prepare in a word processor -
'Description Text' for the video and a separate 'Tags Text' - makes
its relatively easy then to copy and paste into those sections on YouTube
-
Upload video to YouTube - I used YouTube to upload but I understand
that PowerDirector Software can also do this (with my fox video,
YouTube gave me a warning that it did not recognise the video format
which I had rendered in Mpeg-4 but it allowed me to continue and it
managed to process the upload without any problem)
