 Hello, and welcome to a very different video for take one tech. This is the hashtag one hour challenge And this was something that was set by Jared over at a bite of brownie I'll leave a link down below in the description and I was turned on to it actually by Diana Gladney So I'll leave a link to her channel down below as well And basically what it is if I just come over to share my screen very quickly Show you this their page. So down here is make a vlog in under one hour And I thought to myself well, that's kind of what I do anyway And the whole point of it is that you have to sort of plan it out record it edit it Upload it to youtube including making thumbnails and everything like that All within an hour and as I say that's kind of like my process anyway But it's not quite as simple as that is it because my process involves doing it all with the ecum live And fortunately ecum live makes that all very easy So I thought what I'd do today to make it a bit more of a challenge Is actually start from scratch with a completely blank ecum live setup and look at this A completely blank stream deck screen So I feel a little bit lost at sea without my Stream deck buttons, but let me come back to the keyboard shortcuts and I'll share my screen and go into demo mode You can see the clock ticking up in the top corner. That's the only thing that I've really prepared for this Whereas I've got a blank set of scenes Let me just first of all get rid of this background The one thing that I'm not going to do is create a whole new background And obviously my lighting and stuff like that is just it's always set up in my my little studio here my little Basement so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to turn this back to I'm going to cheat and use my original background, but there we go. We've started We're off to a start now What I intend to do with this is to make it a little bit more challenging for myself to do this all within an hour I do actually have a blog that I was intending to make today or a vlog rather Which is because I've hit a small little tiny milestone on my youtube journey Which is reaching 100 subscribers This is my 37th day and this will be my 37th video So I think or 36 and 36. I can't remember one a day for however many days I've been doing this and yet I've just hit that 100 mark. So I was going to make a little video about that anyway just to So I thought that this is a good example of how I can actually do this and at the end I'll just Come on to that little bit of content at the end So for now though, what we want to do is create some scenes. So I've got my default scene there I'm going to have a default scene. Maybe I might have a I tell you what I'm going to do in fact thinking about it now Let me just duplicate that scene Let me call this one main So while I'm doing this I'm not going to give a like tutorial of exactly what I'm doing But you can just sort of follow along with it as I'm going along But I'll just tell you what I what the plan is for today So I'm going to make a series of scenes. I'll make a main scene And I'm going to just do a little trick where it cycles between two scenes that are in a folder So I'll just get this set up now And then I'm also going to make my overlays and I'm obviously going to use keynote because that's what I've been teaching in all of my tutorials And I say I'm going to do multiple things at the same time But as we all know men are not very good at multitasking I actually don't think anyone's particularly good at multitasking, but maybe that that's just me because I'm a man who knows So what I'm going to do is make all my overlays as well in keynote make a couple of animated overlays as well Yeah, I'm already coming off the rail slightly. There we go. I'm going to set this timer to 20 seconds Uh go to the next scene once it's finished that and then this timer. I'm going to make it small I don't want to embiggen it as mr. Doc Rock would say I want to make it smaller and I'm going to put a timer on this page now By the way, this little tip for cycling between different scenes is great If you've got multiple different camera angles and I heard about this by watching lco ways demo mode pros in the Uh, I don't want minutes. I actually want seconds not minutes I heard about this in yeah, lco ways demo mode pros in the Ecam live community on facebook and this was a tip. I believe by mr Uh, was it louis? I'm getting my pronunciation wrong though as well Anyway, it was in demo mode pros and what you'll notice is so that's 20 minutes I need to change that one what it's going to do is it's basically going to cycle between these two Uh These two Scenes because I've got it set to a countdown. I need to change that to 20 seconds Basically every 20 seconds now it's going to flick between these two scenes as you'll see when that countdown gets down down to the Zero and it will cycle to the next one and as long as they are in the same folder Then it will actually just keep looping between them So if you had multiple camera angles and you just wanted to work that into your production So it happened automatically, uh, then that would be the way that you do it And uh, yeah now it's flipped back to my other scene. So what I need to do now is just actually add a little zoom effect into this particular scene Zoom and pan. There we go. So now when it flicks between the two You'll just keep a little bit of interest. That's a little bit too close enough. I think certainly for my liking. I'm sure That means it will be for your liking as well. Uh, there we go, right So I've got my two basic scenes. I'm then going to add a screen sharing scene. So I'll call this one Screen sharing Uh, and so yeah coming back to what I'm actually going to do. I'm getting distracted already. Let me move this up here I was trying to drag out drag on the actual image of the thing But you've got to drag on the text rather than the image of the scene So clicking on the actual image will flip to that scene, but then you have to click on the actual text to move it So, uh, let me stick those back up at the top. So I've got my screen sharing. So what I'm going to do is, uh I still haven't told you exactly what I plan to do today, have a so I'm going to set up all of my scenes I'm going to make the overlays in keynote and maybe a lower third I'm also going to grab some music from epidemic sounds and I'm also going to Uh, make my thumbnails now normally I make my thumbnails in uh face facebook in Photoshop Because I've got templates already made up for it there whereas Uh, what I'm going to try and use today is canva because I've never used it before. Uh, it's something that I've, um Heard about recently in fact very recently I've heard about it a while ago, but we were just talking about it today in office hours with doc rock So if you're not aware, then you can actually join a really great group by going to buy me a coffee.com slash doc rock And uh there you can sign up to his, uh subscription Which is really really unbelievably priced to be honest at $10 a month and then you can join our weekly office hours calls and it's basically a group of people just like us That are interested in youtube and making video content And there's a wealth of knowledge in there never mind all of doc's own knowledge, which is vast But then just with the people in the group as well all adding to it. It's it's amazing Uh, what what you can learn and how you can grow with others and they're not just sort of half hour calls I mean today was three hours. So it really is a great resource. So doc rock dot com Buy me a coffee.com slash doc rock To get access to that and uh, so yeah, he's he was talking about canva again today And he's a bit like me being a photoshop guy for years a adobe guy for years But also just recently started looking more into canva and started using it more heavily And I'd been I'd always thought well if I've got an adobe license, why do we need something like canva? But it does seem fairly straightforward to make things so I thought today to give myself more of a challenge for this one hour challenge I've got less just 52 minutes left. Uh, then I'd make my thumbnails in canva So here I am just basically making the outlines of my scenes. So I've got my uh main scene I've got my screen sharing scene. Perhaps I'll make one for the end scene as well Uh and screen so like where you have the end cards on youtube because I will need to get that set up So that when this video finishes I can point and say link to some of these watch some of these other videos So this one what I'm actually going to do. I'm going to change this as a blank scene I hope you can see all of this. All right. I thought I'd just do it all in demo mode So you can see exactly what I'm doing I am slowing myself down somewhat by just actually talking over all of this because It's definitely being causing me a little bit of a distraction So I'm going to do this Like this move this over here and in the end there'll be just a little so I'm going to do it Basically the same sort of style as I normally do my end things Uh, in fact, should I or why don't I just do something completely different? That would be much better, wouldn't it? What's the point in doing exactly the same as you normally do when you're trying to challenge yourself? So what I'll do here is I'll have My picture here and then maybe I'll have my two videos at the bottom I'm going to link to so one down here one down there and then right in the middle I'll put a little place for me to do my Subscribe button on the end card in youtube studio So 50 minutes left and I have done virtually nothing So let me just quickly change this to green screen while we're on the subject though And I'll put this back here So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go over to Let me use my screen sharing screen. It's all going to look a little bit bad at the moment By the way, can you see how the top of this Screen here is all It's basically the top of my green screen. So you've got this little white patch above where you can see the wall below Uh behind it rather So if you come into your green screen in your cameras and then just click this little mask edges You'll see when I click it Like that it just fills in that gap. So it's great You don't have to have a green screen that completely fills your frame You can just use that little mask edges feature and it does a really good job of just filling it all out So before I go and make the rest of the background, let me just go and quickly grab some music So let's go to epidemic sound Of course, it's recommended ecam as my top pick So here is my uh epidemic Sound library, so I've not really got many things in there because I only use music really for my intro and outro This is says more of what you like So what I'm going to do is I'm just actually going to just download and grab these Now it may just start playing them because they do seem to go straight into What I'm going to do I'm going to stop that in here I'm not sure that that is much like what I've normally have but there you go Right, so I think that It's just going to cycle through all these as they download Let me check how many have I got there I've got uh I've got a few there right so let me just close down my music Don't want that open at all. Well, this is a bit weird. There we go, right So what I want to do is I want to actually get those tracks into uh my ecam live And then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to have all playing in the background as a bit of a change So, uh, let me come to this one grab this, uh Little in fact, let me make a thing here. So I'll call this uh one hour Challenge There we go one hour challenge and then let's grab those tracks Like this second, uh downloads Downloads that one I wonder if we're going to do multiple ones at the same time No, clearly not It's going to be the slow way drag that in let's just get that playing while we're at it. Shall we in fact I'll drop that into The actual folder and then I play the folder hopefully um I'm not entirely sure that that has matched my uh previous downloads because it's nothing like the music that I've gotten here already But there you go. We're just going to have to live with it now. Hopefully if I stick that in there and then uh Put this one in as well. Let me know what you think of these tracks Uh, if you like them great, if you don't blame epidemic, it's not my fault Let's add that one in Uh, I feel like I'm in a bit of a jazz lounge to be honest, but there you go. Such is life Uh, I suppose this is almost going against the rules of the one hour challenge because I should have put a little bit more thought into it Let me see how's the next one I'm going to get rid of that one because I'll be honest. It's a little bit too slow This one's perhaps not much better either, but there we go. In fact, let me start that again And then what I'll do is I'll uh, just click on that one So this will now cycle through all of these tracks that are in here So that is our music sorted and we've already wasted a quarter of the whole time So I really better get a move on. So what I need to do now is I need to go and uh, Create some overlays and my first port of call for making an overlay a simple overlay is to go to unsplush.com Because unsplush.com is where I go to grab some simple and easy backgrounds to use So I've covered this in some of my other ones abstract background Uh, I'm just going to grab something to use in the background. That's the one I did on my other demo But I'm going to use something different today Uh, I did a demo about that one as well. Let me have a look something quite, uh colorful. Hopefully Uh, isn't it? It's a little one. I think actually it takes my fancy when I'm just in here about that one That's a bit nice and bright that orange one. Perhaps maybe that won't work actually well as a background Uh, how about this one? This seems quite dark and moody music, doesn't it? So perhaps I'll have a darker moody background to go with it. So now we just click download By the way, these are free to download and free to use. This is a free service and you can use them in your videos as long as you Don't go on to sell you any content on that you've made with them. I've now got that background in my downloads So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to come over to a keynote and I'm going to fire that up I should have probably Done this in advance, but maybe that would have been in breach of the very very strict one hour video rules Open keynote and let's see if this breaks my aging mac while it opens So we are nearly at the quarter of a way through mark Um, is it breaking my mac? Where's keynote gone? Oh, no, it has opened up. It's opened up over here But what I want to do is I want to open up a new, uh, presentation. So I'm going to go to file new Uh, let me just touch that down a little bit. There we go. Uh, so we're going to go into a new presentation widescreen Completely blank and what I'm going to do is I'm going to use that image that we've just grabbed as a base So I've got this little preview window. You can't actually see it, but I can see it. There we go Uh, it was getting in my way that was so now what I'll do is I'll go over to edit slide layout I'm just going to update my background. I'm not going to bother deleting all of these slide masters I'll just go in and edit this one and now, uh, where is my uh downloads? Let me just come in here There somewhere downloads. So this is the file that I've just grabbed. So if I just drop that into there This is a very quick and easy way to make a little background. So that is the background that I'm going to use for my, uh You see how the music has just cycled on to the next one So if ever you want to do a looping playlist, just drop it all into a folder and then, uh, yeah Just make sure that loops hit and then it will just cycle through all your music then Um, so there we go. We've got my background. That is very dark and moody, isn't it? So now I'll come out of my slide master and this is what I'm going to use for all of my slides So if I delete that slide and then I'll add a new slide with that slide master So what we're going to do is I'm going to make a border. So let me come to my shape come down here Drag this one out here. Uh, in fact, let me just zoom out a little bit I always adjust the resolution on my screen so that it fits So that it looks bigger when I'm doing screen sharing But it means that my screen the space that I have available to me on my screen just looks absolutely tiny compared to normal So what am I doing here? I want to do a uh, I'll do a normal frame like that So this one can be my normal frame Uh, fill color. Let me just change that to black. I'm going to make this transparent in a minute anyway And then let me make a border on that Line And what do we want? Do we want white? Is that just a bit boring or not? To be honest with you, I don't think I've got time to worry about things like that The clock is ticking. We're down to 42 minutes So, uh, I think control with that border being black is I can't actually see very well Let me just hide this pain a minute I want to zoom in just so that I can see whether that even looks balanced or not You can get it centered of course and then I'll perhaps just bring that up a little bit at the bottom So that is going to be my main view basically a little window I'm going to leave that border showing around the outside Uh, and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to do my picture in picture, which is going to be similar but not quite the same Uh, so coming back here. I seem to keep being doing things to actually sort of trip myself up Right, let's uh drag this, uh, which way let's drag this this way Like that and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a uh now hang on a minute I'm getting ahead of myself here I can't do that because I need to make sure that the aspect ratio is, uh, correct for my macbook If I'm going to do this properly and I really should be shouldn't I So let me just come in here and change the size of this So the size of my macbook screen is 1920, but it isn't 1080. It's actually 1920 by 1200 So I'm going to change that like that and then I'm going to hold down, uh, I'm going to click constrain proportions So it locks the aspect ratio and then I'm going to make it smaller like this and I'm going to zoom back in Move this over to the other side like that and then look at that I've got just enough room now to put in my nice little picture in picture How big should we have it? We don't want you to uh Have to see too much of my face. So I'll do it like that. What do you think does that look about right? I should spend a bit of more time on alignment But as I've already said time is of the essence in case it wasn't obvious It certainly doesn't seem to be by the time that I'm uh fapping and waffling on So line there we go Uh 10 perfect. So that is my picture in picture Uh, let me make now my end screen now. This is another one. I'm going to drag this down here What do I want to do for this one? I don't actually mind if I crop my picture off I'm going to make it like that It's going to be a bit weird to be honest having it so large, but there you go. Uh, I might just Unround these corners a little bit perhaps Maybe not because I didn't on the other ones Here's me talking out loud loud again guys and girls This is going to be the box where the images go in Uh YouTube so I need to change the size of these. I'm going to go to a range I want to get the aspect ratio again right They will be 1920 by 1080 and I'm going to put these down here one on this side And one on this side and then in fact they look a little bit small they do don't they? This is going to look a little bit unbalanced to be honest, but there you go Now by the way, if you ever if you've got two objects and you just click both of them Then the centering thing actually works on the two of them. So that's quite handy You don't have to if you want to get them spaced equally from either side of the center Just grab them both and then they'll both Have that little thing to lock on to the center So that's how I've done that now what I'm going to do is I'm going to Do I make those transparent or maybe I'll just actually fill those so if I take the Fill button so style and I'll come into here and take this little color picker Because they may be blank for a short moment So I'll just make those red like that for the sake of argument It didn't really matter what color might I make them. They will hopefully be covered up I'm going to try and time this so that I finish it exactly with 20 seconds to go so that these end cards can just fit right there I will put a border around them though. So I'll come down here to my line And there we go. So when the end screen comes up That's where the videos will appear and then my little subscribe button will appear just at the bottom Now there may be a little border around in youtube where I can't put them close to the edge I'm just going to move them out just in case Uh, we'll see how this goes though. Right. So there we go. I've got my slides And so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to export this To images and I want to export all three of these images And so yeah all of them and I want to export them as png and q and then click on the next And I've created a little folder as you can see on my desktop, which is called one hour challenge So I'm just going to drop them in there and I'm going to call these overlays Uh, there we go. So that is my overlay. So now I've got a little folder Here somewhere called overlays and what I want to do now is I want to open up all of these, uh Uh All of these things here and then I'm going to go to uh markup and I'm going to go to my instant alpha And I'm going to delete that And delete this Delete this And then this one I'm going to delete this so now I just realized I'm in share current application Whereas I think what I want to be in here is actually share the whole desktop Uh, so there we go. I've uh, I just did that Right. So what I need to do now is I need to add these overlays into my scene So the first one I'm going to add into since I'm in this scene is uh, the this one So I can just click on this uh, and drag it over the top There we go that is it's a bit it's a bit of a bad, uh Bad overlay that is because I've got massive rounded corners So it does mean that I am basically cropping off a huge amount of, uh, the screen So poor show. I shouldn't have had the screen the corner so rounded Uh for that. So let's uh, let's just see what I can do here Uh now is that not uh Coming off the end and that's it another problem. I created a couple of problems for myself there The overlay finishes too close to the uh, the edge so I can't actually scale it Uh Because I've got these little bounded. Ah now hang on a minute. I might be missing a trickier Can I adjust the size of this overlay? Let me hide my new overlay for a moment While I try and troubleshoot this get my Face out of the way. I don't think I can I can only resize it in um Locked aspect ratio Mmm Well, I'm afraid guys and girls it is a bit late for uh Adjusting this with less than half an hour to go and I've still got to make my overlays And they also to be honest with you kind of wanted to program this into my stream deck and get a couple of other overlays done So what I'll do is I'll just put that there This is uh, how not to make overlays 101. Can you see I've got the menu bar off? But then I suppose my face is covering it anyway, so It doesn't matter too much. So that is my screen sharing one I've got my end screen here. So then I'm just going to drag my overlay onto the top of that that is a little bit of a uh A little bit large on the screen, but there you go. Let me just pull my face into there, shall we? Sorry if you have to see me I could uh There we go. So at the end I'm going to have this and this will link to my two videos Down below when I actually come to that scene For now though, we'll go to my main scenes and these are just going to auto cycle And we've got one and then let's come into here. We've got this one Right. Well, we're making a little bit of progress now. I think because now we've got my three scenes Uh these this one of this scenes is zoomed And can you see how the overlay has covered that little timer? And at some point I'm just going to leave it for a moment just to check that this timer is working Because I'm hoping that this should should change. There we go. It changed automatically And that is just because we've used those uh those timers So, uh, what have we got to do next? I've got to make a thumbnail for this in an application that I've never actually used before. So let me just uh close this down It's asking me to save. Uh, hang on a minute save I'm trying to save my um Overlays there we go and I'll come and close keynote And I'll save this as uh, I think what I'll do is One our challenge Uh There we go. So that has now saved the keynote file into my uh, hopefully where's it saved it to now? I thought it saved it into the one hour challenge file But never mind it obviously hasn't what I'm also going to do is I'm going to put all of these scenes actually Let me just uh create a group Oh, I have to create the group first one Whoops One hour Challenge what I'll do as well is somewhere. I'll just make these available on my website So that if you want to actually grab them you can just grab all of these scenes and overlays as well Having just told you what a mess I've made of them If you really want them you can go and grab them I'll leave a link and all you'll have to do is uh, just double click on that when you get the download and then you'll it'll just load them all into your Your e-cam live if you really want them And thanks a lot doc rock for the tip for that. So I'm still waffling and where are we now halfway through I've still got to make my thumbnail and I've still got to actually get on to uh Delivering the content which is my vlog. So what do I want now? I've lost my train of thought Canva is what we're going to do it in wasn't it? Canva right, so uh, I think for my thumbnail I'm going to try and actually make it look similar now. What I need is I need a cheesy picture for my For my for my thumbnail So what I'm going to do is I'm going to prepare ahead before I leap into Canva What else have I got to do here? Gotta make my thumbnail. I'll program my stream deck as well So let me change my scene and let me just quickly grab a screenshot of this There we go What I need to do is I need to make a picture for my thumbnail. So what I'm planning to do is just Grab a screenshot like this This is going to be pretty low res. But how about this? So what should we do some cheesy picture for my thumbnail? How about this? Right, so there I've grabbed that very very cheesy thumbnail picture By the way, my daughter thinks my thumbnails are absolutely ridiculous and I I'm inclined to agree with her as well So desktop, uh, I'll come to that in a minute. Actually In fact, no, I won't I'll just grab it now. Where is my where has that gone screenshot? Be one of these it'll be the last one that looks like it to me Well, that is a ridiculous, uh, shot, isn't it? It's absolutely perfect for my stupid, uh, Thumbnails so now I want to come on to my screen sharing Come and do that. So now we're in Canva And as you can see, I have signed up. I've got an account, but I haven't actually done anything in it yet So what I want to do is figure out how to do this. So Design anything social media videos video social media I'm gonna win it templates Look at this. Whoopsie daisy. I don't want a template because I actually want to start my own Uh, where do we go? Design anything social media This looks like it Uh, YouTube thumbnail So this means that it's going to be sized correctly now I am going to use the same colors as I do for my normal thumbnails Uh, I've got no idea if this music is too loud or not By the way, so I do apologize if it is too loud over my my voice Just turn it down a bit just in case it might be just how I'm hearing it Um, so shall I come out of demo mode while I do this and just actually show you what I'm doing Right, so Let me make a background having to think out loud Right one second What I need for this is I do actually not remember my colors of heart. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to add in elements Square And then I'll drag this out. Oops I've got to use that side one You'll have to bear with me any Canva users if you uh Find this painful, but I have never actually built anything in Canva before now. How do I change the color? Uh up here Right now this is where I need to uh Uh Change the color somehow. How do I do that? Add a new color Right, so this is where I do need to just refer to a little note To add the hex code in for my yellow color So That is the yellow color that I have in my background Okie dokie and then elements if I add another one in This one or what I plan to do is how do we zoom out? Command minus just like in photoshop. I'm going to do something similar to what I normally do Like that So that's where I'll have my text. This is where my uh Uh image will be now. Which side do I normally have that on? I can't remember Uh, I think I have it this way around and so I'll change the color of that now to be a new color And this one is a zero zero four a six one That's starting to look a little bit familiar Right, and then can we duplicate it? Duplicate if I Duplicate. Oops. I don't want to do that. Uh, how do you undo command zed? Perfect Perfect. There we go Hold down the option and drag it and it will duplicate it So now if I make this really thin I can kind of get that little double line effect that I often have on my thumbnails Oh, you can't make it any thinner than that Is there another probably what the line then do I let me get rid of that? Uh, sorry if this is absolutely painful to watch, but I'm just going through the process of just actually building this all out From scratch Having never used this application Uh, by the way, if in the future in the not too distant future you start seeing videos coming out about how to use camber and uh Think oh this guy seems to know his stuff about camber, then I'll refer you back to this video Uh, we want that one right that is for me Uh, a good sort of starting point and now what I want to do is add in that picture. So I'm going to grab it from here Drag it onto here Oh my goodness me what a What a shot that is now. How do I actually do an instant alpha? Background remover there is it's highlighted Try camber pro for free. Oh, I've got to try it for free. There we go. Yes, uh monthly yearly monthly Due to day three there we go. Let's try that Oh dear me. Well, I didn't realize that I was going to have to do this What I'm going to have to do is just stop sharing very briefly And come to another scene and just waffle along while I start entering in this information I really should have planned a in-front shouldn't I let me try this? Put that in put this one in he says reaching for his credit card Uh, there we go. Add in in some information. I really have shot myself in the foot with this haven't I but there you go Hopefully we'll be up and running in no time. I've got 25 minutes left and I've made my scenes I've yet to actually deliver any content Uh, no, I don't want to do that. All right, maybe later What what what I don't need all this. I don't want an introduction social media content Skip skip skip skip skip set up right. We're back in business guys and girls I've signed up to the free trial. There we go. Uh, oh no, I've just realized I forgot to use dot rocks Uh code got it In my haste well, I'll have to sort that out some way I'll maybe go and sign up using a different email so he gets the credit All right, let's try the uh background remover remover tool I'll get a slap wrist for that Uh So click effects. This is where background remover lives. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just want to actually do it So how do I actually do it on that thing? I should have been paying more attention shouldn't I in class Uh, I'm gonna do that. How do I just add that is really a uh tragic picture, isn't it? Uh, I really should have been paying more attention in class. I'm gonna delete that and then let's see. Do I right click on it? So images background no Oh, interestingly. Ah, that's where I order stuff though Where's it gone? It was somewhere around here, wasn't it? images videos Where is the tool there'll be people? Well, maybe they won't there may be people transparency That's not what I want Where on earth has that tool just disappeared to effects? Is it effects? That's it. There it is. So click on effects and uh Let's see what a good job this does of removing the background Well, it's not done too bad a job, but that is really quite an appalling picture, isn't it? Now can you actually change the effects of that at all? Let me go back into effects filter. Maybe adjust So we can adjust the brightness. Maybe whoops so easy don't want to do that No, we don't want that either What's this one do? Well, I'm going to take that as it is And I'm going to do that. So next I want to add in some text Where do we add text? There we go. So what am I going to call this video is the question? Well, I suppose it is one hour challenge Now let me see about These are all a little bit Let me see one hour challenge I'll just grab the first one That is uh, maybe I won't grab the first one after all Maybe I'll grab that one. Let me just delete this And delete that It's funny. You watch things going on on the screen, but then you realize maybe you haven't been paying quite as much attention As you should have been that is not really a good So that is a bit of a better font. I think Uh, as you can see, I'm just literally I'm not searching for specific typefaces I'll put this as hashtag one hour One hour challenge Where's that one gone now? Uh One hour There we go I can't spell today And can we make this smaller easily can we do that with a One hour challenge Yeah, now, where do we change the colors of this? We should be able to change the colors. I would have thought So let me just make this uh, in fact, I'm going to try and actually just make this all white Whoops No, I don't want to select that try again As I say a bit of a train wreck here But we're just going to see how far I get and if I even get to deliver my content at the end because I've got 20 minutes left And if I get to the end and it's on zero, then I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to tell you what I was hoping to tell you about today Um I am sort of Causing myself no end of problems here. I'm just going to make that white I'm going to be very boring with this and make them both white And uh I almost want to separate those out tell you what I'm going to do. This is just not at all working for me so I'm going to Whoops drag this one That one this one Yeah, I'm going to make that bigger if I can. No, how do I do that? Make it bigger here That's a terrible, uh font. I can't figure out where to put the actual, uh background On this but I'll leave that like that and then I'll just make a duplicate of it What I can do is I can make this one smaller because it's not going to fit on there Maybe I'll make that go over the top of me for a change in fact That is probably the solution, isn't it? I can bring this down here And then what I'll do is I'll just add my logo into the top So I'll have to just go into my other folders minute and find that from wherever it is Whoops a daisy. I don't want to do that. I was just doing something in ecum then So, uh new folder New finder window rather because I've just got to drag this out from somewhere I come into here One second So what else have I got left to do? Well, I've got to finish making this little thumbnail Then I've got to uh, I said I would make a little animated overlay Did I I'm really going to be pushing it to try and do that? But I will try nevertheless just to see if we can do it now. Let me try and just drag this in here Does that just fit on there? Um, it does but this is a pretty rubbish thumbnail I'll be honest with you. I don't normally spend a lot of time on my thumbnails certainly not uh the time and effort as the master mr. Tom buck I think that he has got the best thumbnails in the business because it really shows the time and attention He puts into making it and if you haven't seen how he makes them You really want to go and watch his video because Um, it is a true craftsman at work Um, that is pretty poor appalling, isn't it as a thumbnail? But because I am literally against the clock and uh, normally I would do this all with a template What I'm going to do is I'm going to actually uh download this now and uh Save that to png download it. Where's it going to download? Hopefully is that going to go to my downloads? Yes I hope this is just all proving that I've never actually used this before because it doesn't even have permission to download yet Wow, there we go. That is quite uh quite to the thumbnail, isn't it? Let me come back to my main page minute now because uh, if I just get that from my downloads And then I'll start sharing my whole screen and I'll drop this into that little folder I set up and you can see Back to my screen sharing Whoops, I need to be in that one Right, so here you can see We've got my little overlay I won't include that in the digital download because I don't think any of you particularly want to see that but there it is nonetheless My ridiculous thumbnail Um, that is what I'm going to be uploading to a youtube Uh, so let me come on to this one. Oh, I've got that in place It just auto moves because these ones should not be in that folder. That's better These need to be in the one hour challenge, but not in that particular folder. In fact, they aren't even in that folder either So let's just correct that I'm talking to myself here. You just uh, all talk amongst yourselves make yourself at home Uh, what is that scene as well? That's the screen sharing. What was that scene for? Oh, that was that one I created to make that ridiculous picture. So let's just delete that Uh, right, let me have a little think about what I want to do now I want to go and make a couple of uh, do you want to program this into my stream deck? I'm running out of time, aren't I? Uh, I will do though. Um, because There's no point in being a challenge if it isn't challenging, is there? So let me come over to I've not got no uh, I normally flick between my desktops on, um Uh, my stream deck. So I haven't even got that. So let me pull up my Stream deck configure stream deck. There we go. And I'll share my screen again I've got to try and fly through this now because I've got different scenes. So first of all, I'm going to go to uh Ecamm live By the way, Ecamm live has got to be the best company in terms of having created all of these different Predefined actions in uh for stream deck. It's just amazing what they've done compared to um Well, they've just done a great job not compared to anyone They stand out on their own as having done a great job of creating these these little actions So you don't have to program it all with keyboard shortcuts. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through these scenes I'm just going to drag a few on because I've basically got three haven't I so uh next scene I could do it with just forwards and backwards, but I'm going to pre define them specifically So I'm going to have one that is my end scene End screen that one's already defaulted to screen sharing And this one I'm going to have as my main scene and then I'm going to have one to come in and out of demo mode Now, uh, that is a hot key But you have to make sure you're actually I've got the um Ecamm live as the open application. So the or the active application So I'm going to use a multi action for that and then I'm going to go in here And I'm going to create a go to open and then I'm going to do the hot key and the hot key is uh Command shift d but you do have to be in ecamm live So by selecting this open application It does just make sure that you have actually got it selected at the front at the same time as well So if I come in here and type in ecamm It should come in my list. Here we go ecamm live There we go. So now that hot key should work. So Come back out of here. So now I've got a key to go in and out of demo mode. That's working I've got a key to go to my end screen I've got a key to go to my screen sharing and I've got a key to go back to the main scene And then it's just going to cycle between these two although actually I've made a bit of a mistake there I've selected the folder rather than the scene itself Uh, now what I need to do I need to be a little bit cunning here. I think Let me try this again Select an item. Let me try and close stream deck down a minute and try it again because I may have just Caused myself a bit of a problem I can figure stream deck Like I'm here and I select main Like that then that should now go to my main scene and if I move it into the folder It just hadn't updated them. So I've got main. I've got my this one And this one and this one right. So that is my stream deck programmed It's not ideal, but I've got at least most of it there 12 minutes left and I need to leave 20 seconds at the end to do the outro So what else have I got to do in this, uh, setup here? I need to um Uh, should I do a quick animated overlay? Hey, let me just do a quick thing to say. Uh, let me open keynote up Keynoted right I need to just put something up to give my name. Don't I so one hour challenge Sorry, let me use my stream deck to go to my screen sharing so that you can see my screen sharing again No, is that not working? It's all coming off the rails guys and girls Uh Configure it as if screen sharing is that not working? That's my end screen and that's my screen sharing. What would you look at that? It looks like That overlay there, that's a bit of end screen screen sharing That's like it's got the wrong overlay. It's all of a sudden, isn't it? Let me just move that out of there a minute And let me come back to end screen And overlays Uh, what's happening here? Something is going a little bit wrong I can't quite figure out what That should be my screen sharing, shouldn't it? I did have a an issue actually with screen sharing in ecamm Uh, sorry with overlays. Let me just try this completely again. I'll put that one in there And then I'll go to this one and I'll put this one Ah, I see something's happened. I just duplicated it and done something wrong there Uh, well, this is costing me a big time, isn't it? I'm going to just delete that and I'm going to make this again I don't know quite what's happened there. I must have inadvertently pressed something So I've got to quickly do this. I've got 10 minutes now to make an animated overlay and get it into here Before the end so I'd better get a move on screen sharing There we go. Never mind. It's all caps. I don't have time to worry about that source is a screen share I need to do all of this resizing again the current application. Let's make it the primary display I've got 10 minutes left. That means I've got eight minutes really to make the overlay Let me flip these around like this Wow, this is nerve-wracking now. This really is nerve-wracking because this has to be posted in 10 minutes And by the way, I'm just going to post it direct from Ecamm live I'm distracting myself by talking. I've got to add another camera in I need to add that overlay. Which one was it? This one? Oh, there we go. Stick that in there. This one needs to be round Well This is going to be an absolute miracle if I can get an animated overlay made in this time Here we go. I'm really feeling the pressure I'm really feeling the pressure now to be able to get this done within the time limit and yet I'm still fussing over alignments. Well, there you go That is just my nature down to a tee. That is a recovering perfectionist We're clearly not recovering so much. Right. I've done that I'm going to lock all of my scenes out now because I can't afford to have to do this again. I don't know what I did I must have done something but there we go. So that is my screen sharing. I'm going to come out of that I'm going to shut my stream deck out stream deck down. I'm in here. I need to create a new blank scene So I'll add a slide A new blank slide and what I'm going to do is I need to get rid of that actually Right. Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to cheat here I'm going to actually just delete this or duplicate it And I'm going to delete this and then I'm going to change the background to Background to no fill because we want it transparent. Whoops. Don't want to open that Please do not open up when I'm in the middle of doing this and then I'll add a new slide. So there we go eight minutes left. Right. What am I going to have with my lower third? Okay, right. Well, let me get something out Let me think What I'm going to do as well is I'm just going to drag in I'm going to drag in the image from the slide muster actually so if I come in here and just Copy this and then I'm going to come in here. I'm going to paste it. No, not in there Well, I don't know if this is a suspenseful or boring But it certainly feels a little bit suspenseful to me I've got eight minutes left so Come down here Drag this over here because what I'm going to do is just pick out a few colors from it So I'll put that down there like that I'm going to use pretty much a similar sort of style as I did for my other one Put that down there and what I'm going to do is I'm going to color this one get the color wheel Where's my color wheel? I'm going to take Take that color there and then with this one. I'm going to pick my color wheel and I'm going to take Maybe that one. There's not a lot of variation really in these in these colors. Maybe that Sort of orangey down here or maybe the pink might be better. I'm not sure about that Here we go again. I'm up against the clock, but you wouldn't know it. It looks like I'm just fapping around There you go purple. This one's for you doc and Then I need some text on it as well, don't I so seven minutes left I'll put Make that big bigger. I'll just embiggen that I've got an idea. I'm going to make this all come up from the bottom That might solve a number of my problems if I put this down here And I'll call myself a I don't even care if I forgot the spelling wrong on that I'm recovering perfectionist. I should have downloaded a few more tracks, haven't we? We cycled through these quite a lot, haven't we so but what I want to do is I'm going to make this Move over here six minutes left guys That is where my overlay is going to be now should I just put a little white border on those as well Just since I've got plenty of time as I've got all the time in the world Why not waste a bit of time by adding a little white border or have I made it worse? I think I might have made it worse disaster Oh, no, that is a bit a bit of a disaster. Let me make it bigger. Right. Well, never mind So here we go. Now I've got to do some animation on this So let me come over to here and I'll go into my animate and I'm going to add an effect And what I'm going to do is I'm going to animate these first So I'll have those fly in Fly in and I'll have them fly in from the bottom Preview this So close five minutes preview I've got to speed these bloody things up excuse the language Can't have them taking all this time can I and I want these happening just one after the other as well So have that one happening straight after that one and then I'm going to have my favorite text build out that I always seem to use So add an effect I'm not having this building out because frankly with five minutes to go I haven't got the time and that needs to take no more than a second And this one let's have this one add an effect. What can we have for this one? Should we do something a little bit flashy with this one? I've got an idea I know what I'm going to do with this one. I'll just be boring and have the old keyboard So where's it gone just clicked off it there tick tock tick tock Where has that gone? Uh never mind forget it. I'll do this one The old lens flare, but that needs to be quicker as well. Let's make that 0.9 seconds Right, and let's put these just one after another as well straight after each other And then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to add another bit of text I'm going to have it like this on the screen and I'm just going to say Thank you And then I'm going to also put Ecam fam and let's make these bigger Bloody hell excuse my language Three minutes 47. Thank you Ecam fam Right as we in the community call ourselves and those ones I'm going to add an effect to that Let's make that come up in firework. Shall we? If we're going to be really ridiculous about this There we go. Let's stick that in that can go in there We'll add these after the last ones And then I'll have that one happening with the previous one And then we'll have a build out at the end where All of this stuff just disappears So I'll highlight store. I've got three minutes left. Oh, no I Don't effect build out. Let's just all have all of this just dissolve like this Like that. Right now what we want to do is we want to have this all staying on the screen So have this Whoops like that. There we go. And then we want that one to happen We want it all to stay on the screen And then we want it to happen after build six by How long do we want to stay on the screen for let's have it stay on the screen for I haven't got I haven't got seconds to waste so let me have it stay on the screen for five seconds Right, I'm not even going to bother previewing that but what I'm going to do is go file Export to Movie And then I'm going to change all these to zero if you want to know how to do all of this I have done a whole tutorial on it. So I'm not going to bother wasting your time or more importantly My time with telling you exactly how I've done it one hour challenge. This is uh A Third it's not a lower third really is it because it's got a huge amount of text over the top of it Um On two minutes to go two minutes to go So Whilst this is churning away on my very ancient Dated mac what I'm going to do is I'm going to just tell you about The fact that this is my uh, where's that saved it to it saved it somewhere Oh, no, this is an absolute disaster. Hang on a minute I'm going to have to just check something here export to images Where is it putting this because I think it saved it somewhere else? Let me just check where it's wanting to save these two because it does seem as though I know what it is One hour challenge There it is right. Okay. I'm done. I mean I've got one minute left and if I add this into this scene Uh This one like this Then it's going to appear over the top, but I don't want that to play just yet I want to hide that no, I've just I was going to say something that would have been very Misconstrued, so I definitely shouldn't have said what I was just about to say there So let me take that off there 56 seconds to go So basically uh today I actually hit 100 subscribers on my youtube channel when I was 37 days in and having produced 37 videos And so I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of the people in the ecamm live community and to ecamm themselves For making such a wonderful piece of software that allows me to do all of this I've just switched the countdown off. Oh, no I've got 40 seconds left. I remember I meant to press this one to say My name's alec johnson. This has been take one tech and thank you to the whole of the ecamm live community For making all of this possible and I have got now 20 seconds So what I need to do is go to my end screen and say if you found this video in any way annoying or whatsoever, then please don't bother, but otherwise If you think it's been a little bit useful Then go and click on one of these videos that is below And uh, I look forward to seeing you in a much more structured and planned video soon. Goodbye
