Preparing for compositing and VFX

- [Instructor] To get the best results when working with many shots in one project, it's recommended to organize the source files and separate each shot to its own composition. So I want to take a moment and review the project file that I created for you and show you how I set it up. So here in the project panel, you can see that I organized all the things that we need to work with in separate folders. I have this master composition here that I've named mekomi main. I will play it to you in a moment but I just want to show you that here inside the footage folder we have all the original clips that we are going to work with, starting with street_1, which I'm going to show you in this movie. We also have an audio file that I'm using here and this audio is from the audiojungle.net website. And I'm actually using the preview version of it. So I've chosen just this beat and if I'm going to play it to you, you can hear the watermark announcement on top of this clip. (upbeat music) All right…
