Hi, this is Nicholas and welcome to this video tutorial about GoAnimate's
Quick Video Makers.
In this tutorial we will go through the video creation process
in our Quick Video Makers, and detail the different elements that compose the interface.
I'll use the Space Odyssey Quick Video Maker to demonstrate how it works.
Simply click on "Make A Short Video" to get started.
In our Quick VIdeo Makers, the whole creation process
happens on one screen in a succession of steps.
The first step gives you a overview of specific to the Quick Video Maker you have selected.
Click next.
The second step is where you choose a setting for your story.
This first one features a spaceship landing and the local folk chatting with a
visitor.
In this second one, two characters have been left behind on a planet
and discuss their dire situation.
Let's go with this one.
Click "Next" again.
It is now time to select characters.
Use the arrows to browse through the ready-made characters available.
Let's pick these two from the Blue Team
and click next again.
This next step is where you will write your script, and spend most of your time.
So let's detail the interface some more.
On the left hand side is a thumbnail showing who will be speaking a
specific line. Click on the the picture if you wish to switch characters.
on the right side the buttons are used to delete and insert lines.
Let's now input our dialog.
Because I don't do girls' voices too well,
we'll use text input for this character.
Everything you type in this field will be automatically converted into actual voices
using text-to-speech technology.
I'll use the emotion button to make the characters facial expression match
the line.
Let's select sad in this case.
You can even select different voices to match different languages and character
personalities.
Let's up date ours to use a British lady.
I'll hit enter to add a second dialog line.
For this character
I'll be using our mic recording feature.
Let's click on the Mic Tab.
The first time you use this feature
you need to enable it.
Click enable, select allow, and click remember to only have to go through this step once.
These are options in your Flash Player that have to be enabled to use Mic
Recording.
After that, all we will need to do is press the record button, speak your line
and press stop when you're done.
Let's do that.
"If only they had partnered me with Sergeant Rose, this day would have been much more
enjoyable."
It's now processing the recording I just made. Done.
Let's press enter again.
And in this case we would just leave the field blank, and update the emotion to angry.
Leaving the field blank automatically generates a closeup shot of your
character.
And now all we have to do is press the preview button to generate the movie
Cool, no?
If you want to change something in your video,
simply scroll back up and update things. let's quickly
change our settings.
Chose a different character;
and change our third line.
We hit "Preview" again
"Well, it's just you and me private."
"If only they had partnered me with Sergeant Rose, this day would have been much more enjoyable."
"Indeed."
Just a few clicks,
and the result is really quite different.
And that's only one of our Quick Video Makers.
Going back to the selection screen, you can see that we have lots of Quick Video
Makers, each featuring unique settings and characters.
You can feature ninjas,
have stories that happen at school,
in the office,
on pirate ships,
and even in war zones.
so make sure to explore all these options and let them inspire you
to tell more stories.
Hvae fun animating!
Bye!
