Site Exclusive Tutorial Recording Notes:
Disclaimer: these are the actual notes I used to record this video and are written in a language you may or may not understand. Hopefully, you find them useful or cool.
- Create a new Composition at the video size where we want to work.
- I’m going ultra widescreen with this shot so my comp will be 3360×1440 (21:9 ratio)
- At 30fps, my 687 frames equals nearly 23 seconds of finished footage so I’ll set this comp to 23 seconds
- Go File>Import>File… and find where I have the files stashed
- Organize the files by type and select the first one and tick on “Camera Raw Sequence”
- Choose to open, preview the image in the Camera RAW editor and hit OK
- You will now have a file in your Project panel that says 001-687.CR2 or something similar
- Drag this sequence out onto the composition to place it
- Select it in the layers panel and hit “S” to bring upscaling options and scale this down until it is just a little larger than the composition
- Scale the zoom so it slowly moves in or out over the full 23 seconds for a long and very slow/smooth cinematic camera movement
- Select both keyframes and do an Easy Ease In
- Move the In/Out points to the beginning and end of the clip
- Add the video to the render queue and export it!
