Now that we have all our elements here inside of After Effects, the next in the…process is to time out our shots using the audio as a guide.…We're going to create a copy here in After Effects and add in our JPEG,…then adjust the In and Out points so that they match up to key moments in the audio.…Our goal is going to be to understand just how long each shot is going to take.…So, I have my project folders here.…Let's add in another new subfolder here and call it 3-Working Comps.…And this is where I put compositions that I'm going to be using throughout…the process, not necessarily final renders but just where they go while I'm working on them.…
In the Working Comps folder, I'm going to create a new composition.…Now, there's a lot of templates here and I think what I'd rather do is create…my own starting point and I'm going to call this 640 and I'll leave the Aspect…Ratio at 16:9 which is just fine, and Square Pixels is good, and then the Frame Rate 29.97.…Now for the Duration, I know my finished piece is going to be 15 seconds long.…
