Description: Start with some important tips on shooting and capturing video with OnLocation for a smoother rough cut. Then once you've organized the clips into bins in Premiere Pro, and added the clips to the timeline, you're ready to learn how to make still and motion graphics, such as an opening animation, a lower third, and a bug, using After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Next it's time to dive into all new Soundbooth to create the soundtrack score and polish the audio. Wrap up your production by creating DVD menus complete with interactivity, and output to a wide range of formats including DVD, Blu-Ray, Flash Video, and of course tape.
