Session 3 Course Materials

The Session Covers:

  • Capturing on DV Camera (with firewire)
  • Introduction of different industrial standards


  • Use of Effects Controls to manipulate entire clips
  • Use of Special Effects (eg. Chroma Keying)


  • Adding Universal Counter, Black & Color Bars

    • Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation: Lesson 3.ppt

    The powerpoint is only useful as triggers for different functions of the software and shows the more detailed outline of the course for that session. It cannot be used as a guide or manual to the software, so try to pay attention to the demonstrations in class.

  • Video Clip: Sharky Raw
  • Audio Clip: Sharky Voice
  • Still Image: News Background

    • Note that the above image, video and audio files should not be freely distributed and Sensorium Vale reserves all rights to the video (the audio belongs wholly to Irvin & image belongs to Kevin).

    In this Hands-on!, students are encouraged to continue from the project they worked on in the past session. They can now make use of the chroma keying to add the image into the otherwise plain background of the clip and attempt to move the image around with the effect control and this leads on to manipulating the videos themselves with the effects control panel. Students may be interested to add small portions of scaled down video clips on the side of Sharky similar to the style of real news programmes.
