Next Meeting Tuesday 4 October 11.00am at the Library

Hi Members and welcome to  U3A Term 4, the last for this year. We hope you'll have a few videos to show us of functions and challenges over the last few months.

The main topic for the meeting will be audio levels. We've all seen videos where sections are too loud, others too soft and you end up constantly adjusting the volume of your TV or monitor. 

We'll discuss what the audio levels should be and how to set them for best results. We'll briefly discuss Audio Limiters and what their function is.

SEE YOU ON TUESDAY

Today's Meeting

Hi Members,

Today was the last meeting of Term 3. Unless told otherwise, I will enrol you again for Term 4.

I was very impressed with the quality of your work presented this morning. You guys captured the Brisbane Port Facility very well. The videos were inventive, well produced and edited with appropriate music and some very funny segments.

The main topic was using motion backgrounds for both titling and special effects.

The challenge for the next meeting is to produce a 1-2 min video using one or more of the motion backgrounds on the folder I handed out this morning. Or better still, create your own motion backgrounds. Use it on a fancy title or as a PIP (Picture in Picture clips.

Roy passed on a folder with over a thousand sound effects. I tried to copy them onto members memory sticks but we ran out of time to pass them on to everyone. If you missed out, please bring along your laptop at the next meeting and yon can copy them that way which is much faster than onto a memory stick,

The next Meeting is in Term 4 on Tuesday 4 October 11.00am at the Logan North Library.

Next Meeting Tuesday 6 September 11.00am

Hi members,

Hopefully we'll be able to enjoy a few 1-2 minute videos of our recent visit to the Port of Brisbane. I am looking forward to see those.

The main topic on Tuesday is the use of moving backgrounds for titling and special effects in video productions.
Bring along a memory stick. I will be handing out a folder with a number of background loops you can use in your videos.

I will give some demonstrations of how background loops can be used in titling and video in general.

SEE YOU ON TUESDAY
