After howling at the KTV for more than two hours, Zhou Yan's voice became a little hoarse.
After saying hello to Qin Ruoshu, I returned to my brother-in-law's house. Before I could drink some water to moisten my throat, my cousin Li Jinling had already stuffed the DV player and hard drive over.
"Boss, can you let me breathe?"
"Brother?" Li Jinling stared at Zhou Yan pitifully, "We are about to start school, and you don't want your sister's winter vacation social practice score to be zero, right?"
Before Zhou Yan could react, Li Jinling had already put her notebook in front of Zhou Yan: "The production software has been installed in it..."
When Zhou Yan opened his laptop and took a look, he almost jumped to his waist. The film and television production software his cousin called was actually the video processing software that comes with the system.
"This thing can only be used for simple editing. If it is too complicated, it cannot be done at all!"
Li Jinling panicked: "What should we do?"
"Please be patient..."
Zhou Yan pulled the network cable, connected it to the computer, connected to the server backend of Colorful Stone Studio, and then uploaded all the short film materials shot by Li Jinling to the server.
"Xiaoling, before post-production, we need to determine the length of the short film."
"duration?"
Li Jinling took out the storyboard script and shooting plan given by Zhou Yan, and thought about it for a long time. Then she gritted her teeth as if she had made some serious decision: "How about cutting it out to 40 minutes!"
"Are you really willing to give it up?" Zhou Yan's face was full of joking, "The material you shot lasted for more than three hours..."
Li Jinling said cruelly: "Otherwise, just fifty minutes! A session of about ten minutes should be enough!"
After the video material was uploaded to the server, the server automatically converted a version with a lower code rate for Zhou Yan's rough cutting.
Zhou Yan roughly arranged all the video materials, eliminated some useless shots, and cut out some shots with shaky images, compressing more than three hours of material into more than a hundred minutes.
After rearranging, continue to compress the number of shots, continue to eliminate some redundant frames, and compress the duration to more than seventy minutes.
Next, it’s fine cutting.
After saving the rough cut with full bitrate, Zhou Yan installed Ding Haizhu’s video editing component port on Li Jinling’s laptop.
After installing the software, Zhou Yan tested it and it could barely run.
In order to make full use of computer hardware resources, Zhou Yan first browsed the short film roughly, then accurately positioned and deleted redundant frames.
Li Jinling, who was standing behind Zhou Yan, didn't even dare to breathe as she watched her cousin edit the video skillfully.
The video captured by the DV machine is 24 frames, which means there are 24 frames per second. A video of more than 50 minutes has almost 70,000 to 80,000 frames.
Even though Zhou Yan was confident and had eliminated the parts that didn't need to be edited, the remaining parts that needed to be processed were still very troublesome frame by frame.
Moreover, in order to reflect certain effects, Zhou Yan also needed to expand or reduce the number of frames, and turn some shots into slow motion or fast forward.
Some poor-quality lenses that really couldn't be eliminated, Zhou Yan still needed to do rendering processing...
So, on the 9th and 12th day of the first lunar month, Zhou Yan stayed at home editing videos.
Li Jinling originally wanted to stay at home and secretly learn some professional skills, but as soon as she got up on the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, she was taken to a restaurant by her little concubine to act as a waiter.
On the afternoon of the ninth day of the first lunar month, Qin Ruoshu, who was really curious, sneaked into Zhou Yan's residence in the name of supervisor.
"Have you been staring at the monitor all day?"
"What else?" Zhou Yan shrugged helplessly, "It's hard to take a video, at least it has to be perfect, right?"
On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Yan finally finished editing the video.
However, this does not mean that the post-production of the video is over, as well as soundtracking, dubbing, and adding subtitles.
Fortunately, the rest did not require much effort on Zhou Yan's part.
For non-profit videos, you don’t have to worry about copyright infringement. You can just choose classics from the Internet: "Spring Festival Overture", "Fishing Boat Sings Evening", and classic music related to the Spring Festival, Zhou Yan has used them all.
As for the dubbing, naturally the little cousin did it herself, and the dubbing lines were already prepared when Zhou Yan was making the split-shot script.
After adding subtitles, you can proceed to the last step - converting the video format.
On the night when the production was completed, Li Jinling, who was very confident, organized a viewing party, and not only her own family members, but also Qin Ruoshu's family were invited...
After clicking on it, the title of the video "Taste of the Year" in cursive script appeared on the TV screen.
"The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese nation. For the hard-working people, the Spring Festival means a new beginning, but it also means a short rest..."
After the narration, the first section of the main film begins with the grain and oil section...
The video of more than fifty minutes is neither long nor short. However, for the elders who don't like to watch documentaries, "Taste of the Year" is a brand new experience.
It records the ins and outs of the Chinese New Year and ends with a happy New Year's Eve dinner, which is full of Chinese New Year flavor.
Watching the subtitles begin to appear on the TV, Qin's mother smiled and clapped, and other "audiences" in the living room also began to applaud. Even the eldest young master Li Xinxin seemed to be infected by the atmosphere and excitedly clapped along with the adults.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?" Li Jinling said proudly as she unplugged the video transmission cable from the TV.
"Daughter," the little girl said, not wanting to see her daughter raising her tail, "of these fifty-plus minutes of film, only a few minutes of the New Year's Eve dinner are included. You filmed it yourself, right? As for how these films turned out like this, you should
Do you know better than us?"
After being exposed, Li Jinling lost her face. She hugged her mother's neck and said, "Mom, how can you be so troublesome?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The elders sitting here all laughed, and Li Jinling blushed a little.
"It's okay," Zhou Yan stood up with a smile, "Xiaoling hasn't taken any professional courses yet, but she can already take photos of the New Year's Eve dinner to create a reunion atmosphere. It's already pretty good..."
"My brother still speaks well!"
After helping his cousin complete his "winter vacation homework", Zhou Yan had to start preparing for the trip after returning home.
Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu both started school on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Zhou Yan didn't have to arrive at school on time, but Qin Ruoshu, who had more than a year of classes to go, was different and had to arrive at school on time before school started.
Before departure, of course, some advice from my father and mother is indispensable...
"After the results of the postgraduate entrance examination are released, call home!"
"Take care of Xiao Qin on the way!"
After Zhou Yan arrived at Qin's house, he heard the same advice again...
After many twists and turns, we arrived in the capital and got off the plane. As soon as we released the flight mode, the text messages on their mobile phones kept ringing.
"Lao Zhou, why are there so many missed call notifications on your phone?"
Zhou Yan glanced at the number that had not answered the call, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "You must have received your results in the preliminary test, right?"
Zhou Yan was not in a hurry, but Qin Ruoshu was anxious first: "Then why don't you hurry up and call me back?"
"Got the order!"
Zhou Yan smiled and called Yang Yuning, who had made more than a dozen calls without getting through.
"Hey, is this Zhou Yan?"
"Teacher Yang?" Zhou Yan was very calm, "I was on the plane just now. After I got off the plane, I found that a lot of missed call notifications suddenly popped up on my phone. Is there any problem?"
"Zhou Yan," Yang Yuning suddenly became excited, "did you know that your first test score was 485!"
"oh……"
At this time, Yang Yuning suddenly came to his senses: "You brat, hurry up and prepare for the re-examination. I am the interviewer. I should have no problem with the relevant knowledge, right?"
"If there is a problem with my major, how can I apply for aviation engine?"
