SED619 Video Project
Mr. Bell explaining the Cmap concept mapping software to his ninth grade Humanities class. This video has an opening credit in which the text crawl moves in the same direction as the camera rotating on a tripod. TO make this, I took that video clip and reversed it in the edit to have it go in the direction I wanted. I left the audio soundtrack in the correct direction. You can notice that the guitar player is a tiny bit out of phase since he's playing backwards relative to the video! But an ordinary observer does not see that.
This video was edited in Premiere 2.0. That worked fine but the codecs were a mess. I made a number of attempts to create Quicktime videos from the Premiere codecs. This included MPEG4, RGB Planar, and a couple of others. I tried 1/4 scale as my main test. No matter what I did, the file wound up around 300MB. This contrasts with iMovie files of similar length and size clocking in at 20-50MB.
I also tried the Flash video converter with no luck, working from my source 3GB AVI file. Flash never did produce a video that would actually play.
Oh, and Media Player in XP never played one of the Quicktime files I generated either. But it would at least play the audio.
