Video Editing in Adobe Experience

A very busy weekend last week I should say has prevented me from posting numerous blogs as I enter the world of video editing once again. We were assigned to create a presentation with only photos as inputs for it. We had a difficulty doing so because it won't be that interesting if photo animation along with the text effects have to capture the interest of the audience.

I have already graduated from using these following tools before delving in deeper to the world of Adobe:

Microsoft Photo Story
Sony Vegas
Windows Movie Maker
Microsoft Office Powerpoint
Cyberlink Power Director Pro

While brainstorming, my teammate has suggested doing the animation in Adobe After Effects. Frankly, I never knew anything about it and have only seen Adobe Premiere Pro as a video editing tool of interest but had no actual experience in it. With the help of YouTube and googling about quick tips on how to make videos, we finished the project at hand using the following tools:

Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe After Effects
Adobe Photoshop
ZapGrab
SwishMax

A huge help in pushing thru with After Effects was this site: http://www.videocopilot.net/

Although we never got that far with the app, we really had our eyes fixed on how experience in After Effects would open up tons of ideas and possibilities using it.

Here is a sample animation we've done in After Effects which we've followed thru YouTube:
