Subtitles of the Movie

Let's take a look at how we can do Camera Cutshots in this movie. I have the file Video Post underscore 1705 dot Max opened up. I have some really basic animation on these two cameras, Shot Cam 1 and Shot Cam 2. So let's take a look at that. Let's simply Play the animation, right there. So, really some simple animation. Now what if I wanted to Render these two cameras from Max? It's very easily possible from the Video Post, so let's go to Rendering, Video Post, Shot Cam 1 is already added and it's going from zero to 200, but in the animation the Shot Cam 1 has been animated from zero to 100 and Shot Cam 2 has its animation starting at 101 and it goes to 200. Let's have nothing selected on the Queue, and let's go to the Add Scene Event, and Add Shot Cam 2. Let's move it up and right now I'm going to take Shot Cam 1 down and I'm going to keep watching over here so I'm going to end it at 100. You can do this another way. For example, Shot Cam 2, double-click, start at 101, go till 200 and there you go. My Camera Cutshots are done right now. I can further add a lot more cameras if I have them in the scene, or I can also repeat cameras. So if I wanted Shot Cam 1 to be repeated over here for some reason I can Repeat that. I can also select these two cameras and click on the Image Layer Event button, which is this, and add some cool Premier Transition Filters or a simple Cross Fade Transition. I generally like to do my Transitions from a different software, but you can see that the Cross Fade has been added on two cameras and I can specify how many frames it's going to show up for. Right now I'm just going to delete this. But that's really how simple it is to do Camera Cutshots in Max. So play around with the Video Post, all the Effects that we've seen in the previous movies, and also the Cutshots.
