Execution & Post Production

Part 3: Execution & Post Production

1. Animate your composition (final poster) in After Effects.

Progress:

1. Create a new composition: Click "Composition" > click "New Composition" (Ctrl + N) > change "Composition Name" > change "width" to 1080px and "height" to 1920px > change "Duration" to 0:00 : 0:15 > click OK.

2. Right-click> create "New Folder" > name it "Composition". Then, repeat the same step to create other folders: Photoshop.

3. Click "File" > click " Import" > click "file..." (Ctrl + I) > select the Final Project (PSD) > change the footage to "Composition - Retain Layer Sizes" at the "Import As" > click "Import" > make sure it is "Editable Layer Styles" at the "Layer Options" > click "OK" > arrange them into the file accordingly.

4. Rename it to Final Project Animate after importing the Final Project PSD file so it would be clearer. Double-click on the "Final Project Animate" so it will appear under the editing part to get the composition.

5. Create Keyframe Animation: For the Globe, I created 15 seconds rotation. It would be rotated slowly in the same position.

8. For the DOVES, I created 2 seconds animation to match with the text's animation. It would appear from the self-portrait's behind (not visible) to beside (visible).

10. Add background music: I chose "Happy Footsteps" by Purple Planet Music as the background music. It has a lovely mood which I feel like it giving a happy vibe to me.

Then, click on "Output Module" > click "Include Project Link" > make sure the "Format" to "H.264", if the "Format" doesn't have this option, remain to default > click "OK". After that, click "Output To:" > save it according to the file. Lastly, click "Render".
