Lesson 1

Hello
Open the project. Here you can see five basic
folders and one main composition. Let's start
the optimisation.
1) Open the first folder "Bubbles Color", then
open all the folders inside it. Further open all
the compositions in these folders. Now let's
adjust the color of our "Bubbles" in these
compositions.

2) Now let's go to the second folder "Change


Images" and open it. There are two folders in
it: "Main Image" and "Minor Image". In the first
one there are compositions of the central
scene, in other words, main ones. You can even
put your video in them, but the count of your
project's "render" will slow down. In the second
folder "Minor Image" there are images not
concerning to main ones. Doubleclick in the
"Project" panel and select all your images.
Further open all the compositions in these
folders and adjust the images' sizes to the
compositions.

3) Now let's go to the folder "Change Texts".


Let's open three folders and all the
compositions in it. Pulling scroll bar on the time
line panel for the text to appear, doubleclicking
on it and typing what you want.

4) Now let's adjust video for our project.


Opening the folder "Change Video" and three
compositions located in it. Load files with the
video material in the project, as I told you
earlier, and drag them in these compositions.
Setting "Current Time Indicator" on the marker
I created named "Freeze Frame start". It's the
time segment where your video freezes.

Lesson 2

1) Opening the last folder "Freeze Frame" and


three compositions located in it. Going to the
first one and selecting the layer named "Frame
Mask". Pressing key "M" on the keyboard to
open the mask parameters. Selecting a mask
and pressing key "Delete". Further transferring
"Anchor Point" to the position you need by
means of "Pan Behind Tool". In my case I
transfer it to the center of the layer. Further
selecting "Pen Tool" and drawing the new mask
on this layer. Now selecting "Text Position"
layer and drag your text to the needed position.
Also you can impart "Scale" and "Rotation" to
the text if it's needed. Do the same to
compositions "Freeze Frame 2" and "Freeze
Frame 3".

Lesson 3

1) Now we can move to colors adjustments.


Going to "Color Control" layer and adjusting
color. Now going to "Control Panel" layer and
adjusting other components, such as Opasity
and also switching on and off different effects.
2) The last step is rendering our video to video
format. Clicking on the composition named
"Main Scene" on the Project panel, going to the
upper inset "Composition" and clicking "Add To
Render". Further selecting settings you need
and clicking "Render".
