Motion first: what a keyframe stores, why easing fixes most bad animation, and how timing, anticipation and overshoot give a logo weight. Then lower-thirds, Lottie handover, green-screen keying and exporting video that is not 40MB. Then sound: recording a voice in an untreated room, compression explained properly, EQ in three moves, music licensing and Content ID, and the consent rules for a cloned voice.
Start the first lesson- Nothing in the world starts at full speedEase-out for anything arriving or responding, ease-in for anything leaving, and linear only for motion that never starts or stops.
- Motion blur will not fix a floaty logoWeight is uneven distance-per-frame plus a small anticipation and settle; effects added afterwards cannot supply it.
- Why your lower-third looks like a templateAnimation time is not reading time — budget two and a half to three seconds of still text first, then add the entrance and exit on top.
- Send the developer a file, not a videoIf a developer cannot recolour it, pause it, or place it on a dark background, you exported the wrong format.
- A green screen is fixed on set, not in the editA keyer builds a matte out of colour information, so anything that degrades colour on set — uneven light, spill, subsampling — cannot be recovered afterwards.
- Your hero video is why the page feels slowFile size follows how much changes between frames, not how many pixels are in one — so bitrate and content, not resolution, are the levers.
- People forgive a soft picture and leave over bad soundDistance and soft furnishings set the ratio of voice to room; the microphone's price is not on that list.
- Compression does not make anything louderA compressor only turns loud parts down; the make-up gain afterwards is what raises everything, including whatever noise sits in the gaps.
- Three boring sounds beat any filterRoom tone plus one or two ordinary foley layers raises perceived quality more than any effect, and a Content ID claim is a match, not a verdict.
- A cloned voice needs a yes you can point toConsent for a voice is scoped — to a project, a set of uses, a period, and whether the model itself is kept — and disclosure to the audience is a separate duty on top of it.
