Introduction
This is the result we'll create: a tidy project panel with folders, and a waterfall footage playing slower by simply changing the frame rate interpretation. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. In this episode, we'll focus on the Project panel, how to import multiple footage at once, read its information, organize it into folders, and then change the frame rate interpretation so the footage plays in slow motion. Create a new project, then press Ctrl-I in the Import File window, click the first footage, then hold Ctrl while clicking the other footage: waterfall, flowers, rapids river, and one piano music file.
Step 1: Import multiple files at once
Click Import. All four of them are directly imported into the Project panel in one step.
Step 2: Read footage information
Click each item to view its information at the top of the Project panel. Video footage displays size, duration, and frame rate. Audio files display duration and sample rate 48 kHz. The Type, Size, and Frame Rate columns in the list also help differentiate file types.
Step 3: Create a folder
To keep it organized, click the folder icon at the bottom of the Project panel. A new folder is immediately ready to be named. Type footage and press Enter. Create another folder named Audio. In large projects, folders like these greatly save time when searching for materials.
Step 4: Move items to the folder
Drag the waterfall footage into the Footage folder, followed by flowers and rapids river. Then drag the piano music file into the Audio folder. Click the triangle in front of the folder to open or close its contents. Now the Project panel only displays two tidy folders.
Step 5: Interpret Footage for slow motion
The waterfall footage was recorded at 30 frames per second. Select that footage, then open File, Interpret Footage, Main. In the Frame Rate section, fill in Transform to Frame Rate with 12. The duration changes from 12 seconds to 3,0 seconds, because each frame is now displayed for a longer time. Click OK.
Step 6: View the result in the composition
Drag the waterfall footage into the new composition icon. A new composition is created directly with a duration of 30 seconds. Press space to preview. The falling water now moves slowly and dramatically without any additional effects. Finally, save the project with Ctrl + S.
Done!
Done. We have imported multiple files at once, read the footage information, created footage and audio folders, moved items into the folder, and used interpret footage to create slow motion. In the next episode, we will create compositions manually with our own settings. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for short films?
