Shawn Johnson Montage. Up.

[ASPaez1965]

That was so cool

[lafo93]

thank youu :)

[Gymnasttk]

And the effects 24 seonds till lke 26?

[Gymnasttk]

How did you do the effects from 11 seconds till 15 seconds?

[lafo93]

11-15

its just using pan and crop with flashing black and white, using keyframes. sounds complicated but it's really not!

24-26

using the 'glow' effect, you an easy way to do it is to cut your footage into the sections where you want it, split it where you want the glow then split it again a second later and then add the effect to that part in the middle

(hope this all makes sense!)

[FlippinMae]

[GymnastClub]

also good luck in me and ajp12267 contest you probely have a good chance to win

[lafo93]

yours is good too ! ooh thanks :D

i was just watching yours again, did you use my editing at the end? of shawn warming up for beam finals?

+ you deleted my comment just because i said its the same music? i dont mind if you used the same song but... :S

[GymnastClub]

i didnt take the comment off it sayed comment removed by author i got an email saying that u wrote a comment but i got there and it wasent there all it sayed was removed by author u must of hit somthing by accident. i dont care if we have the same song. also my friend made the last 30 seconds her name is dani DaniTheGymnast she has a channel so i dont know if its urs or not it dosent look cause it has no name no LF

[lafo93]

oh okay,

you can't see the initials but you can see the green kinda glow in the corner and the footage is exactly the same but cropped so you can't see my watermark

- well just tell her to ask if she wants to use it, it's just so annoying when you put effort into something, bother to watermark it, but people find a way around it anyway...

[GymnastClub]

i know you have a up montage it rocks do you like mine anyways ur is better

[latga66]

hi great little video shawn is magic...

[lafo93]

:) thank youu

[zigzaggymnast123]

How do you get hq? and how do you get your username in the corner?

[lafo93]

i think its because the footage i have is quite hq (from the olympics)

and its just text, on wmm, if you select text on top of video or something, then you can write what you want as a watermark, then if you make its effect or transition or something a subheading (i can't remember exactly) it will go along the bottom, then stretch it along for the whole video - should work :)

[zigzaggymnast123]

well I sorta use windows movie maker..

[lafo93]

oh ok, well i dont think you can spotlight with wmm - you should try the trial of sony vegas and then if you like it you can get the full thing.

you can get some good effects with wmm though, the classic being the hue that changes colour - try having the same clip - a small one (few seconds) but reverse it or flip it or change the colour, just experiment :)

[zigzaggymnast123]

time 0-2. HOw do you do the spotlight?

[lafo93]

as in the very first thing?

in sony vegas its a pre-set effect, and i just moved it to follow shawn where she walks

-which editor do you use?

[zigzaggymnast123]

how do you do all those effects?

[lafo93]

erm, there is such a variety - if you say for which parts (give a time) i'll be able to be much more helpful! ??

i use sony vegas, a lot of is it panning/cropping, masking and using the pre-set effects well and adding my own changes.

[zigzaggymnast123]

Wow! Amazing montage!

[lafo93]

thank you :)

[xTorresGirlx]

everyone is being so amazing! this is the best response i've ever had to a montage, i'm so happy :)

[gymgurl871]

can u tell me how to make all those effects? like list all of them

[lafo93]

ermm, woah i'm not sure!

i used pan and cropping quite a lot at the beginning, black and white, motion movement, slowing and speeding up clips, using the pre-set effects like glowing and editing the colours

its hard to say! i can tell you exactly if you give a time in the video, but to be honest i can't even remember what i used, i made it over a long time ;)

[hollyhalstead]

Good job.

[lafo93]
