Kinetic Typography in Adobe Flash (Assignment 3)

Hi, I'm Yap Yen Yin. I'm in charge of compiling the ideas and sketches done by Low Jee Yen, Tan Shi Yuan, Tai Qiu Xian and I will be working on the decided scenes in Adobe Flash based on the audio recorded by Tan Hui Zhen and myself. Here I will explain about the techniques used in the making of this musical typography:





First the stage is set to 560x320.


When the  navigational button is done by Tan Shi Yuan & Tai Qiu Xian, it is set in the first keyframe of the entire work. From the second keyframe and onwards will be the musical typography.




Next, the edited audio is imported to the library.
Go to file>import>import to library>then choose the audio file from driver.
The audio file is in WAV format.








The audio file is then dragged to the stage from the library. Then the wave will be seen at the timeline. As the keyframes are not long enough to see the full audio wave, keyframes are added by pressing F5 of the keyboard.


Audio settings are set to its best quality by going to File>Publish Settings.
The check box for 'Convert stereo to mono' is unchecked.




Next, types are created. Each word is synchronized with the audio. When the types are made, they are converted to symbols to add effects.


As you can see in the timeline, the types turned into symbols and motion tween is created by going right click layer>Create Motion Tween.


Other from types manipulation using Free Transform tool, effects also added by going to Properties>Color effect>Alpha.


The types are also tweened to move in and move out of the stage using simple motion tween.








Some graphics are drawn by the Brush Tool ,


and are painted by Paint Bucket Tool, such as the red love.


Other graphics are drawn by Adobe Illustrator and are imported to Adobe Flash.








Some types are also styled using the free transform tool.




When the work is done, i published it by clicking File>Publish.
