Exercises On Viewer

We have finished so far our discussion on Browser and Viewer. We are now on basic editing using the Viewer's capacity to generate video clips. Check if you have mastered already the following:

(1) Creation of Bars and Tones - NTSC
(2) Generating Color Matte with keyframes (changing colors)
(3) Generating Render - Gradient in different types with keyframes
(4) Generating Highlight with rotation and width keyframes
(5) Generating Text, especially the Outline Text
(a) use of Lower 3rd Text with lines and solid background
(b) use of Lower 3rd Text with Render or Matter cropped background
(c) use of Lower 3rd Text with graphic background
(6) Generating 3D Text with keyframe animations (animate letters and phrases)

If you have mastered these exercises, then we are up to cutting our videos next time we meet. Enjoy!
