Fotisfx - Eισαγωγή στο edius - Intro in edius

Hi, all my friends from fotisfx.com and me, Fotis Samaridis it's a rainy day today but with some good mood and good music we start our first steps on Canopus Edius 5, one of last editions it's about a very good software which combine a friendly and useful interface to an average user and a lot of professional features which we discover in the near future I firmly believe that it will give a better looking to your personal-or not- videos that's why I choose to demonstrate to you. Double clicking on Edius icon, on our desktop this first page appears Up and left, we can see the profile's box which enables us to make a new profile to have some categorized setting each time we start Edius. with button "Change" you can change profile's icon as I do with fotisfx.com's icon Pressing "OK" button you can see profile's icon be changed which can be in Photoshop format Just below, you can see Recent Project's box whice contains the latest projects you've opened to edit or created Below that, you can see New Project's box and we start pressing "New Preset" and that Project Settings' page appears in first column we can see the output device' choices NTSC and PAL devices are the most famous ones on top of that we can see High Definition features and resolution of video reaches 1920x1080 resolution it's true that Edius can export videos in that resolution and quality For that lesson, we prefer familiar SD PAL device In left, there're some settings 'khz' concern audio settings and '4ch' is about 4 audio channels We prefer 720x576 50i setting which "i" means interlaced and 4:3 is an old screen format Beside, on Setup tab, you can see "Render Format" that's means the quality of our video clips it give us some options, including canopus codecs Offline, Standard, Fine also Uncompressed options We choose option "Fine" Just below we can see options TimeCode preset and mode Total Length gives some specific time length to you project In Audio Reference Level, you may see it as -20.0 db but I've read recently that -9 db is good for TV productions Below, we can see Track, which you'll use to your project V-track contains a track without sound, only video contents. VA-tracks contains means audio and video tracks , I choose 3 of them T-tracks is track that contains only titles And A-track that contains only audio clips. A little note here T-track is saparated as track cause it must be on top of other tracks so it give us the skill to create our own titles, on top of main tracks. Of course we can add title on V or VA tracks but for better adjuctment Edius give us a saperated track. Pressing 'OK' New Preset's page appears, how I name my new preset and where I save it Pressing 'OK' a new project's icon appears which settings can be changed, for example, change it to 16:9 format Now we can ready to start, by pressing 'Start' button. We can choose where to save this project and what name we give on it By this option, we can make a folder with project's name for example, I name the project as 'fotisfx' or leave it without creating a folder Pressing 'OK', Edius starts. to give your comments or your prompts for my video lessons which you watch So with your encouragement, I can continue to show all I know about creative programs. Thank you very much for watching and have a good time!
