M3: Optimise the Content For Use In the Final Animation

 Optimise the Content For Use In the Final Animation

 

 


I decided to use Adobe Illustrator for my animation because they are vector graphics. Adobe Illustrator creates shapes instead of pixels. Bitmap files are made of pixels which you can see if you zoom into the image. This means when I try to resize the bitmap image, the image can become pixellated and distorted as the image is trying to use pixels it doesn't have. Hoeever, vector graphics are created using shapes and lines. Youu can resize and edit these much easier which is ideal for animation since I will need to resize my graphics sometimes. Illustrator created vector graphics so I decided this was the best program to use.

 


 


I saved all of my Adobe Illustrator files on my Adobe Creative Cloud. You can see some of the graphics on there above. These are all aic. files. Once I illustrated all of my graphics, I decided the easiest way to import them was to just copy and paste the graphics when I had them open in Adobe Illustrator. This was a lot easier than having to save all of my files onto my laptop and importing them all in.


 I optimised the content of my animation by using the file, export, video/media option. I chose to export my animation as H.264 high bitrate. I did this because this combination is of the highest video quality while also compressing the file size of my animation. The video then gets sent to Adobe Media Encoder where the animation will be rendered correctly.

 

I optimised the voiceover audio for my animation uing the file, export as option.  I chose to export the audio as a WAV file. This file format does compress the audio, usually when audio is compressed it looses quality. However, WAV files have allowed me to export my audio to the highest quality and this has made my audio sound amazing.

I finished my animation and exported this final product in Adobe Premiere Pro. I chose the file, export option. I optimised the final animation by using the H.264 high bitrate again since this creates high quality video and audio. I exported this and completed my animation. It was the intention of the client to stream their animation through YouTube so I required the highest quality possible.

P6: Working to Deadlines and Editing

        P6: Working to Deadlines and Editing The voiceovers help to bring the animation to life; I edited the voiceovers in Adobe Audition. I did this by using the denoise and parametric equalizer effects. Denoise got rid of the unneccesary background noise and the parametric equalizer make the audio sound more level and make the voiceover sound a little less boomy in some places. I deleted the beginning and the end of the audio if it had no voiceover. I then exported imported the audio into the animation. I created the animation scenes based on how long the voiceovers were since they are a very important part of my informational Club Europe animation. This helps the audio and animation flow simultaneously and creates a nice, consistant pace. At the end I had to delete the voiceovers from the Adobe Animate file since it sounded static like and screechy. I exported my animation and placed this into Adobe Premiere Pro where I imported the audio in, this ...
