The document summarizes the process of editing a video diary. It describes adding title text and customizing it with effects like linear wipes and keyframed opacity changes. Footage was cut down and rearranged on the timeline. Background music was added and levels adjusted. Text was animated on and off screen using keyframed resizing. Clips from other projects were incorporated and adjusted for volume, size and color temperature. A flyer image and discount code text were overlaid with fading opacity. The diary details the iterative process of refining visual and audio elements to craft the final video.

1. Diary 2nd part -----
Day x: I started off today by first adding in my footage for the interview and cutting down
parts of it at the start into a tangible segment. Then I created a legacy title with the Georgia
font, white text, a black outline and a black shadow. I then aligned this with the centre of
the page using the centre tools on the left-hand side of the screen. After finishing with the
customisation of the legacy title, I then added the linear wipe effect to the text, messing
around with the key frames till it looked more natural. I then added a black video into my
footage, which I dragged into my timeline and then customised the size by undoing the
uniform scale and changing the scale width to 0.8 and height to 18, to make it look like a
typing cursor (I believe that is the name).
I then proceeded to add a keyframes at the beginning and end of the wipe effects duration,
onto the cursor. These two frames where to make the cursor seemlike its ahead of the text.
I then added a few more keyframes in-between, as it was not perfect, and I wanted it to
look normal. After his I proceeded to add keyframes on the opacity fx, with it alternating
from 100 percent to 0 percent, with 4 frames in-between each change (could be 5, check
the file). After this, I then repeated the same process on some text with my character’s
name, which I positioned beneath the other text. I also changed a few other bits, like stroke
size and the height + width of the cursor for the typing effect. After this I added an
adjustment layer with a gaussian blur effect on it, which I faded out into normal video
footage after the text had disappeared. I also added a blur out effect on the text, to make it
fade out and smooth. I then added some background music to this segment, which I cut
down quite a bit, messed with the audio levels, and then faded it out by using keyframes on
the levels segment that would lower the volume.
An effect that I used was the reverse speed on a certain clip that I ended up removing, I
reversed it as I thought it may look correct if done so. It did not.
The was a visual problem with the cursor effects, as every time I would play the video, the
smaller cursor would look like the bigger one. I thought that it may be fixed if I added a new
black layer into the sequences and did the same things on that. It did not work. I then tried
exporting the segment just to check if it was only popping up on Premier Pro, which turned
out to be the case. After this I just ignored how it looked on premier.
After this I proceeded to edit the bits I wanted from my footage and remove the rest. I then
added in some more background music and lowered the volume of it, while also raising the
volume of the actual audio, which I would proceed to do multiple more times during the
day.
After this I added in some text using the same Georgia font as the Legacy titles. I then
resized it using key frames, so that it was above a blank gap where the was no footage,
stayed in the centre of the screen for a bit, then changed locations to the top left of the
screen and stayed there, before fading out. I copied the original text with the effects for
every new question, changing the text and approximate location, as some of them had more
text than others, and I wanted them to all be in approximately the same spot, so I had to do
it a bit more visually, rather than being able to conveniently copy it every time; however, it
was useful for me not to have to completely recreate it from scratch.
After this I proceeded to add in clips from my other premier file in order to use in some
speaking bits and as clips to provide visual context to the verbal context. I made the fight
sequence into a subsequence, so that it would not take up too much room on my time line,
and that I would only have to cut one layer, making it much more simpler for me. I also had

2. to change the size and temperature for another clip, as I had to remove some effects due to
how I had edited on the other document.
I then once again changed the volume levels of music and audio, with some of the new clips
having audio that needed to be adjusted, and the original scenes needing to be louder.
After some contemplation, I decided to add in the flyer I Had worked on recently, as well as
some text above it to indicate that people would get a 10 percent discount when using a
certain code. I made this not quite fully opaque, with the image sitting at 80 percent and the
text 50 percent, while both fading in and out with the opacity key frames.
