Use Adobe After Effects to create your video photomontage. Watch the tutorials below (if necessary) and follow the handout and criteria closely to receive a strong grade.

Criteria You need a dozen or more good photographs that are all in focus and taken with your camera. Video should be at least one minute long. All 12 photographs should change in some manner (position, scale, opacity, etc.) Include animated text at least 4 times in your production. Include an animated title and credits. Export your final production as a Quicktime H.264 .mov  file at the dimensions you prefer. 720 x 540 is good quality. Extra credit will be awarded for additional effects, sounds, voices, or music (your own or creative commons).  After finishing the video completely you will need to render it as a Quicktime H.264 file. First save it. Then go to File, EXPORT, QUICKTIME MOVIE, deselect SOUND if you don't have any, click SETTINGS and choose COMPRESSION TYPE: H.264, change QUALITY if you want a different quality, click OK. Render the file to your desktop. After rendering it, copy it to your “Final project” folder and the “Video-photomontage” folder for the grade. This is the file that you can upload to your favorite websites.
