Avid 201 Lesson 5 & 6
What are the two ways to bring graphics into your project? - ANS-- You can link either via AMA
linking or by using the Avid Pan & Zoom effect
- You can import them and create new media at the current project format
What are the three ways of accessing import settings? - ANS-- Before you import (drag directly
into the bin)
- During the import process (Input > Import Media)
- During the import process (Source Browser)
Image Size Adjustment - ANS-We deal with differences between the aspect ratio of your image
as compared to the project aspect
Color levels - ANS-change color space
Alpha Channel - ANS-The part of some file types that provides information about the file's
transparent and/or opaque regions
Field Ordering - ANS-This will only appear in an interlaced project and is only of concern for
importing animated graphics
Frame Import Duration - ANS-Set the default duration for the imported file
Image Sized for Current Format - ANS-Use this option when your image is already correctly
sized for your current project format
Crop/Pad for DV Scan Line Difference - ANS-Compensates for missing lines
Do Not Resize Smaller Images - ANS-Keep the image in its original dimensions and place it on
a black background
Resize Image to Fit Format Raster - ANS-Use if you are unsure of the aspect ratio
Do not Modify, Treat as Legal Range - ANS-Used to import images without changing the levels
Scale from Full Range to Legal Range - ANS-Used for digital photographs using RGB, correct
for TV
Dither Image Colors - ANS-Doesn't change the color levels, but adds a bit of noise to randomize
the levels
, When an image is keyed, it is the alpha channel that decides what is used in the graphic, and
what is removed, revealing the background track in the Timeline. There are two possibilities: -
ANS-- Black represents opaque; reveals the graphic and the white part cuts a key through the
graphic to reveal the background layer
- White represents opaque and black represents transparent
- Your project is High Definition (HD) with the standard Raster size of 1920 x 1080.
- You have been provided (or created) a still image that is larger (e.g. 3840 x 2160).
- Your creative goal is to create some animation that zooms-in to an area in the upper left corner
of the image in order to draw the viewers' attention there (without losing image
quality/resolution).
What are two methods you could use? - ANS-The Avid Pan & Zoom Effect and FrameFlex
T or F? When you drag a file (still image or video) from the Desktop of the computer directly into
a bin within Avid Media Composer, it is imported — meaning that a new media file is created
that will be placed into an Avid MediaFiles folder. - ANS-True
Your Avid MC project is High Definition (HD) and you were provided (or created) a still image
that is 1920 x 1080, what selection would you make in the Import Settings? - ANS-Image sized
for current format
- The client has provided you with a still image of their logo which they ultimately want you to
place over the video, into the lower right corner of the frame.
- The dimensions of the graphic are 400 x 250 (pixels).
- The client has communicated to you that the graphic designer created it at the correct, final
size.
What Import Setting would you select? - ANS-Do not resize smaller images
- You are working in a project whose format is set to the default Color Space for broadcast
television. One of the ways broadcast TV Color Space is referred to is in a very technical way,
which is the name "YCbCr 709" (create a new project in your Avid, and you'll see that is the
default Color Space setting). Another way to relate proper broadcast television levels is to say
that they're "legal."
- A graphic artist created a really cool animation for the 'Show Open' and provided it to you as a
QuickTime file.
- You have to import the animation so you can edit it into the program.
What Color Levels (another name for Color Space) Setting will you select in the Import
Settings? - ANS-Scale from full range to legal range
Fields - ANS-Two components that make up an "Interlaced" frame of video
