 Thank you. I think we are going to be underwhelmed, but especially after this one. I am moving outside my comfort zone. I am going to talk about promo or anything like that. I am going to talk about stuff. I have made videos for different publications. Things like advertisements and stuff like that. The first thing you have to know is that I am a shitty video maker. But I have something that you have to embrace your shitiness. If you are bad at something, then just make it part of the video. Don't try and be better of course. But if you are a crappy drawing, then make crappy drawings. Don't try and be something that you want. There was this video I wanted to make that I actually made. I am going to show you at least a bit. There is no outgild or a lot of work. It is for a magazine that I edited back in the day. There were several effects I wanted to achieve. This was one of them. You can see it in all its glory again. There you go. How do you do that? The thing is that I said I want to do this. I have no idea how I am going to do this. I have no idea about really... I have no formal training in editing. I just played a lot with Katie in life. I was not happy with the normal transition. I think when you use a normal transition like a star, or something left to right or whatever, it is like when you are using a word processor, and you are using one sentence all the different fonts you have. That is something typical beginner uses. I am happy with this, but I have my pride too. The first thing you do when you are like me and you have no idea of how to do it, you go at it with a sledgehammer. The first step for me, that is what I wanted to achieve, was to say, I will draw every single frame of animation by hand, using game for critter or whatever, and move it from left to right. I will use a silk here, a green, a pure green here. I will use Katie in life and put it on top. And then I will use a mask, I will use a chroma effect, and I will make the underlying video shine through. So you go, oh damn, my ears are too small. That was my first, and that is what I did for that video. But of course, I thought, if I have to do this again, this is bullshit, I do not have to do all these little things moving from left to right all. And I want to do it also with not just a static image that I move from left to right, but I want to do it also with something that is really animated. So I wrote a script. OK. And I'm going to demonstrate to you right now how life works. Now of course, this is a demo, so many things can go wrong. But anyway, so I have this video, right, that I downloaded from the internet. I am pretty sure it is... Yeah, it's stupid, but OK. So my idea was, I'm going to make that guy run across the screen. And in his way, I'm going to have one video, and then in his way, it will come the other one. But how do you do that? This is not just one frame that I move by hand now. I have to do it really hand, right? OK. So the first thing I had to do was get rid of the green screen that guy is in front of. So this is my crew, OK? No, sorry. The first thing I have to do is to reduce it. I have to split the whole video into new frames. OK. So I have this TV live project here. Now, it make... Is there a new TV live here? No, because this is not the latest one. But the TV doesn't matter because it works the same for you. This is really basic stuff. Basically what you do is you just render the project to PNG, right? It's there. You don't have to specify anything like, you know, how many digits you want, I will do it for you. Right, and we render. Is to get rid of that green background, OK? I'll make it transparent. I've done several things. I've also done it by hand, but there's 195 frames. No, that's too late for that. So I use image magic, OK? So I have a little image magic here. Wait, I'll write it up for you so you can see it. That's the one. OK. You have the background color. It turns out it's not exactly pure green, right? I'm using 2K color, or whatever it's called. I moved around the green part. And in general, that was the green. OK. And what you do is... Are you using image magic? Which one do you use image magic? Oh, lots of people, right? Well, you know what Fuzz does, right? It means that, you know, you have... it gives you 40% in this case, near the green you're looking for, right? So it's not exactly equal to 0%, it's not equal to that color, but 40% gives you more green, right? And then making that opaque makes it transparent with a PNG, right? So let's try that. We're going to try with the first image. The next step is cutting it out because this is not the size we want, right? We're going to cut everything out that is transparent. We're going to put it into a little rectangle, right? So again, image magic to the rescue. I mean, image magic is... a link for, for me, not a program, is actually magic. It is one of those Arthur C. Clark magic things, you know, technologies so advanced that you didn't even hear it from magic because trim just works. You just said trim and it does it well. It works twice. If you do it once, it will leave... it will still leave a border. You have to do it twice. Right? So that's a... with every single image. Of course, if you reduce the... it will convert your green screen animation to something that you can use. Not in any light yet. With the manuscript that then I had to write to make each of the frames for the transition. OK? So I'll show you that while that is still processing. There's 195 of those. OK. Now, this is the script that I wrote to actually make the frames that move the guy from there, from the right to the left with a mask. OK? Now, all this is basically... you make a bit for each frame if you want to create a bit... a bigger than normal frame that you place your character. You fill in green or black or whatever to the right. Then you move it a bit. The next frame of the animation and fill in, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. All that. This is what that does. OK? That seems that thing is finished. It's done. Here we can get rid of now all these frames with... I'm going to run the script because, like that, while it runs we can talk about how it does it. OK? So I'm going to move out of that directory. You've got our animation in frames. Now, it takes... My script takes four parameters. The first one is the directory where you can find the animation. Then it takes the size of the videos you are going to use in the transition. You have two videos, right? Not the size of the animation, but of... I have two videos. One is Sintel and the demo one is Tears of Steel from the Blender Foundation. You know all about those, right? You don't know about the videos from the Blender Foundation? OK. The Blender Foundation. You know Blender, right? 3D finish. They make films. Every year they put out a film. So one is Sintel and one is Tears of Steel. Tears of Steel. Right. Now, thanks to the magic of Dolfi I just have to hover this over here. Right? And I can see that the size of the video is 1,285, 534. Which is a really strange size. You know, it's going to say 720p or 180p. OK. Whatever. It doesn't matter. My script doesn't care. So we're going to say we're going to do that. Then we say the color we want or the chroma if you want. He also creates a chroma version of each frame. You will see what that is going to say. And then we say how many frames we want the animation to last for. The transition to last for. I would say for this about 60 frames. That's about two seconds in a minute. Now, can you cross? Ooh, it works. OK. So it's going to put it in here. What it's doing here now is resizing the animation so that it is exactly the size it is exactly the height of the two of the two videos we're going to merge together. Right? It also creates another it creates another folder with the animation now moving from right to left dragging a green tape or whatever behind it a mask because that is the trick to use because we've taken it off. There are only 60 frames and it's done. Back to taking it off. So, now we have a component we need we're going to load a mask together. Right? We're going to load the transition We're not going to go from with the chroma we're going to go directly with this. OK. This is the trick import image sequence that means it will not import only one frame it will import all the frames as a video clip. Let's have a look. So, Cinta is going to go here Tio is still going to go here and OK. What are you going to see now? There you go. So exciting. Now, we need one more but as you can see it's just the guy the transparent background right in front of the first clip. So, what we need is really another track we're going to put it with the track, yes and then I'm going to put this one up here this one up here By the way, it's a little bit perfect in the light because this the way things snap together it is awesome. So, we're going to load the mask import it. You can see there's black behind the light. You see? The key thing that has an interesting transition that we're going to use to this clip which is the mask is black bit composite and transform here we are. The composite transform has dozens of options but what we want to do is to do a really crude XOR as programmers you know what an XOR is in this case what the XOR is if there is a transparent pixel or not if there is a colored pixel and there are both layers then it makes a transparent and the bottom layer will show through the bottom layer will be this one down here so, is there a version name we choose XOR ta-da slow motion and in the screen of the back is that we have a gallery of boxes or unicorns or whatever you want it's just something that supplements the normal rather boring faiths and transitions that we have in KD life I have more, I have dozens of stuff or shit like this I have how to make the perfect if for your that being you know, I have how to make these are just little things that you can use to supplement your KD life experience and that's it but just to make use of them while you're working on it yeah, I have looked into this my knowledge of programming is not good enough for that and I haven't been able to find any documentation that explains how you can integrate it there I'll give you an example the way KD life makes a gift you don't give something to come back like just to me and come back I don't understand why there are so many gifts around it's a horrible format they are terrible but there are a lot of people like gifts well, the gifts that the KD life makes are not very good they are a big selection and with a simple one line I don't think you can make much better gifts and KD life in the background uses but I haven't found a way to integrate the system I use to make a gift into and that should be much simpler than this so I don't know that's why I ask if there's anybody from KD life here maybe they would have been able to donate us I don't know I have used a new version I have used a new version I have used a new version I have used a new version okay for me it crashed all the time so I was able to when you dragged a new clip and it separates, for example, the audio and the video which is very useful at the moment I normally separate it, it crashed and I admit I haven't come back to that in the last two or three weeks I don't know if you saw it is it from here? okay just before I finish I want to show this gentleman do you realise that the Linux foundation has now teamed up with a load of yes, okay Krita is not on that list the game is on that list we have to get Krita on that list okay I'll give you a bit of context the Linux foundation has teamed up with a load of big big movie companies industrializing magic fox and they have studied a project called open source movie something and what they are trying to get is all the modifications that those companies are doing to open source project they are using to produce movies to share them and be compliant with licenses and stuff like that so on that list as are many other open source projects image magic is on that list FM Tech is on that list Katie Live is not on that list and Krita is not on that list going back to what is my core function here which is promo one of the things we are going to be discussing is to see if we can get Katie products on that list okay so I'm done
