I have began working with After Effects and tried to get my head around it. I looked up a couple of tutorials on You Tube. This initial test I attempted at creating muzzle flash with the Catterick Garrison footage.
After watching the tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M64vpXEiymU), I attempted to break down the footage, to the bit I wanted to edit. I did this quickly using B and N as a keyboard shortcut. This allowed me to put in and out points on the footage quickly and accurately. I then took that small segment out of the footage and began editing in a separate composition.
The tutorial stated that I needed to download (and pay) for a package that provided all the effects for you. However, I was unable to pay for this package. To solve this, I downloaded similar images off Google images and imported them into after effects.
I noticed that the images had a black background on them, so I imported the images into Photoshop to attempt to get rid of it. However, this didn't work out very well and I couldn't use the images in After Effects.
This test didn't take me anywhere, however, I have learned that this way of doing things doesn't work and I will be finding an alternative way.
