1. Introduction: You create art. You want to show the
world your work, but you don't know how to do it. I'm here to help you ease into
the world of editing using your iPad to edit time-lapses. [MUSIC] Hi and welcome, my name is Sangita and I'm a teacher and a
media consultant. Which means I write, take photographs,
shoot video and edit. I've had 20 years of experience
in print and video media. During the pandemic, I
rediscovered my passion for art. I love doing art
everyday and I want to share my progress with
my social media family. But I didn't have that much time to spend 1.5 hours editing. I needed something quick, which wouldn't
take so much time. These are some of the examples
of how I use time-lapse to enhance my artistic
presence on social media. [MUSIC] Keeping up with technology and apps can
be daunting at times, but I found a quick way to integrate the
devices that we use in our everyday life to simplify on high-end job
like video editing. In this lesson, I
take you through my workflow and
the apps I use to help me in the
process of creating time-lapses of my digital art. While this course focuses on artists who create
art for social media, this course can
also be for people who create content
on their iPad. This is a basic editing course. But if you have a
hang of an iPad and have basic
understanding of editing, this will help you as well. This class is about
how to quickly, efficiently and creatively
edit your art time-lapses from your iPad and make your videos ready to stand out
on social media. The project for
this class will be an illustration,
start to finish. It will be an illustration that you export as a time-lapse. You add video, you add music, and you add maybe a
call to action and that you can upload onto
your project section. The key skills learned in this class will be video
editing on the iPad, including adding text and music, making your videos
more interesting, standing out so you can add your unique voice to
your final products. I hope this class helps
you enhance your workflow, whether it is in your digital
art or any content that you create on the iPad
that you need editing for. Well, let's get started. [MUSIC]
2. Project: Timelapses are a great way
to showcase your work, so these lessons
should help you. But, practice makes perfect and that's
where projects come in. [MUSIC] In the Skillshare
classes that I've done, I've seen that when
I create projects, I don't just apply the
knowledge I've learned, but others encourage
me in this process. Actually posting your
work will not just push you towards applying
what you've learned, but also get encouragement
from the community around you. Here's what you need to
do for your project. Create some art, export it
to the editing software, edit it with titled music and
end with a call to action. Post it on social media, and you can share this
in the project section. I would love to see
your timelapses and your interpretations of what you've learned in this class. Plus, I'd like to
encourage you too. For your project, you need
an art app, editing app. I'm using Procreate and
Video Leap for this class. You are welcomed to
use those as well. You can export it in
any format you'd like. Just be sure to
add music, a text. Of course, if you
want to go fancy, would love that too. Make sure you play
around and use your creativity to lend your unique voice
to your project. [MUSIC]
3. Why do we Need Timelapses?: [MUSIC] There are different types of
ways to shoot your artwork. First way is using
in-app timelapses, which you can set to
different qualities. The second one is screen record, and the third one is
overhead shooting. It takes me about 90 minutes to finish a final piece of art. No one has 90 minutes to
watch my complete process. I'm not that famous yet, but that's where
timelapses come in. They make my full
complete 90 minutes of art into a concise video. Timelapse is a filming
and editing style that manipulates how frame
rate is captured. The video frame is captured
at a lower frequency, so when played at normal speed, time appears to
be moving faster. This method is mostly used
in photography to capture dynamic shots like a day to
night or stars in the sky. Art timelapses have
the same principle, where the artist may take
longer time to draw, but the frames are
recorded differently, so a seven-day illustration
can be shortened into a three-minute capture
frame by frame but in speed. Art timelapses are
a great way to give a gist of the work you've
done from start to finish. Editing in-app timelapses
give a really fun way to add some personality to
your art process and can give your
work some context, plus it's another great way of removing parts you don't
want your audience to see. During the pandemic, my work as a photographer and video
editor reduced significantly. While I was waiting
for things to open up, I rediscovered my
passion for art. I love doing art every
day and wanted to share my progress with
friends and family along with my social
media family. Art every day is tough
and I don't have the luxury of spending
time on a fancy edit. I needed something quick which wouldn't
take so much time. That's where timelapses come in. It was a quick one-minute
video which I could post on YouTube and Instagram and Facebook and Twitter
and Tumblr and my blog. My timelapses won't
just to show off. They gave me a
satisfaction that I had done something
significant with my time. As I grew as an artist, I could see how much I was
improving through video. In the next video,
we will be looking at software we'll be using. [MUSIC]
4. Software: [MUSIC] Keeping up with the technology and the different apps can be daunting at times. But I've learned to quickly integrate the devices we use in our everyday life to simplify a high-end job
like video editing. [MUSIC] There are many art
apps that use time lapses. The Procreate app
for illustration and the Videoleap app for
editing are the two apps that I use in my workflow
that allow me to create and post art
efficiently every day. Videoleap works with
Android and iOS and has the exact
same editing process. It simplifies editing
yet gives you access to professional layers which many iPad editing
softwares don't. It's free and you're able
to do a basic edit, render, and export from start to
finish without paying for it. I was able to use this app in its free format
without upgrading to its premium features and doing everything that I'm going to
be teaching you how to do. These are the softwares
I'll be using, but you're welcome to use any other art and editing
softwares on the iPad. Apps like sketches and Fresco create time
lapses of your art, and LumaFusion and iMovie, along with other apps, are good for editing. It depends on your
comfort and budget. These principles I'm
teaching in this class can be tweaked and
applied to any software. In the next lesson,
I'll be walking you through an
illustration demo, recording a time-lapse, and editing it from start to finish. [MUSIC]
5. Customizing Art Timelpase Clips : [MUSIC] When you open this window, you'll also get this button. If you click on this button, it's really important
because you get to choose your dimensions
for your canvas. This is an overview of the
Custom Canvas section. This is something that is
important to me, Time-lapse. Every time you draw, you have a time-lapse
being recorded. If you take a stroke, if you even do one stroke, there is a time-lapse
that's created, unless you opt for
no time-lapse. You have an option here
for choosing 1080p, 2K, 4K, Low quality, Good quality, Studio quality, Lossless, or HEVC. But Studio quality would
be better quality. But again, it'll
make a heavier file, which is then stored
on your iPad, and it's not stored
in the Cloud, so your iPad will get heavy, so just a disclaimer here, 1080p with Studio
quality is still okay. You have an option of 2K and
you have an option of 4K. Now a lot of times, if you want to do very
high-end time lapses, come here and change it to 4K, if that's what you want. You can do 4K with Low quality and I'm
sure it'll be fine, or you can do 1080p
with Low quality. Now Low quality
would be like if you want to upload it on Instagram
or TikTok or something, then you don't need to
make your memory crazy. I generally do Good
quality 1080p, that's where I'm most safe, I like that set-up for myself. I'm going to hit "Create" and now our Custom Canvas
has been created. [MUSIC]
6. Start to Finish | Timelapse : [MUSIC] In this video, I'm going to be giving
you a demonstration. I'm going to be doing
an illustration from start to finish, exporting it as a time-lapse, editing it, adding text, adding music and
a call-to-action, and finally exporting
that video onto YouTube. Here's what you need to
do. Create some art. You go and export it into
the editing software. So you have this here. You have to go to
the video format. If you want to see this,
you can press "Replay". I have already seen this,
so I won't do that. But you go click on the
"Export time-lapse", click on "Full
length", export it. Right now I have
Videoleap and iMovie. I'm going to be using
Videoleap. Videoleap will open. What's very interesting
is that because this is done in a canvas
that's upside down, it's coming like that, but
you don't need to worry about that because first we are
going to change the canvas. I'm going to choose
a 16 by 9 format. I can't see anything,
this is all black. So just for you, I'm going to make the
background white. As you can see, this is not. Now here it is. I want the whole thing to come. So normally what I do is I have the time-lapse on the left, then what I do is I catch
the, where is this cutie? I've put the final
illustration on this side. I need to lift this
and put it here. The way to do this is click on this and the middle function is basically the mix of buttons. When you click on that,
it immediately jumps up. You have to drag this
to the beginning of the video and extend. Editing becomes easy
with the Apple Pencil, but you can also use
your finger if you want. I can make this a
black frame also, but for the video purposes,
I'm going to make it. Now what's happened is I've adjusted this picture
into what I want. But now for example, if I want to add some text, so you go here and
you add some text. You can double tap to edit. I'm going to just
type kitty cat. I'll just call it kitty. Make sure you move the text. [MUSIC] I wanted to add, and you can buy these, but I don't really buy them, there are some very
nice free ones. [MUSIC] Thank you for watching is something I like. It's 11 seconds, so I
may not want 22 seconds. [MUSIC] Perfect. Now I've
added two texts. I've placed two different files. This is a PNG file and
this is your time-lapse. So you're communicating
two things, you're showing before
and after in a process, and you're saying thank you. [MUSIC] Then you export it. This is the format I
generally export it, 1080p and 24 frames per
second. Then I save it. [MUSIC] It's ready. [MUSIC] Your background, your colors, your font
usage, all matter. If you're a brand, then you'll have a color palette that you're already
working with. After you're done
with your basic editing for your time-lapse, you can format your
logo according to what you'd like your
brand to look like. You can even add a PNG or a logo to your edit
through a mixer. You can customize the
title that you're using by creating a title
with your choice of font. The fun part of this is
that it's all customizable. So whether it's colors or font
or background, your logo, your music, it can all be created and made to your liking. This is a great time to
start thinking about what you'd like to
draw for your project. Think about a simple drawing and in your free time
you can get started. In the next lesson,
we will look at sharing formats
for social media.
7. Sharing on Social Media : [MUSIC] Instagram has square for videos and pictures, but reels and
stories are best on vertical mode with the
measurement of 9 by 16. The quality gets compressed. Even if you export a Forky
version version of the video, the resolution will
still be compressed. YouTube needs 16 by 9 and
would profile your work best. However, their stories
have vertical more too. What I do is I create a
landscape version first, that is obviously for
YouTube and Facebook, and then after that I create a vertical version which
I use for stories, or reels, or Instagram. YouTube does not have an
option of even creating different formats like
square or vertical. Just have a look at the formats. But I normally
make two versions. One is the landscape version, and one is a vertical version. Once I've done the
landscape mode, I changed some mode
to a vertical, make the changes which I need
to make on the same edit. Then whichever fits, I add that to the social
media of my choosing. Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest,
LinkedIn, blogs, and websites can also
use these formats, it depends on what you like. What I like is that
I have a choice to export my video in
whatever format. In the next lesson, I'm going
to give you tips and tricks which can help you in your
journey as a content creator. [MUSIC]
8. Conclusion and Bonus Tips: [MUSIC] I hope you have learned
how to quickly, efficiently and creatively edit your art time lapses
on your iPad. Hopefully learning this style of video editing, adding text, music will help you
make your videos more interesting and stand
out on social media. As I leave you and
end this course, I want to share with you what I have learned in my
journey as an artist. Consistency is key to
create engaging community, so don't give up, even if things seem to be moving
at snail's pace. Try your best to be
patient with yourself, be interactive with those
who reach out to you, and finally, be consistent
with your passions. You will find that in time you are able to
reach your goals. If you haven't
posted the project yet and are brave
enough to do so, would love to see and
interact with you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch
and learn from me. I hope these lessons help
you in your time lapses, in your art, and in your
editing on the iPad. I wish you all the best in your journey as a
content creator.
