Chapter 49: A Screenwriter Who Can't Write Code Is Not a Good Singer (Part II)

Zhu Wei stretched his neck and watched, he looked stupid, why didn't you ask the young lady to pick the stars in the sky for you?

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuanmei actually breathed a sigh of relief: "This is simple." First extract the normal animation into a picture frame by frame.,Then use the program to turn it into a character painting.,And then assemble the character painting frame by frame.,Calculate the number of assembly animations.,If there's music, reprocess it.,Because it's frame-by-frame, the original music can basically be used.。 Didn't add a suitable one yourself. This doesn't need a programmer at all, Lao Chu, anyone can operate the software after it is installed. ”

Chu Yuanxi stretched out two fingers and shook them: "There are two big problems, first, commercialization. ”

He glanced at Yang Yuanmei, Yang Yuanmei understood in seconds, and gave him a reassuring look, saying, "I'll confuse the tool." ”

In the plan given by Yang Yuanmei, the three steps must use the software tools provided by the software developer, and they are different software. The main problem with using these tools is not the question of installing genuine or cracked software, but using these tools, according to the law, it doesn't matter if you just use them yourself, but if you are making commercial products, even if you buy genuine software, some companies ask for extra money.

There are also companies that don't care about your use at all, as long as a huge licensing fee, it is a real lion's mouth, let you see what intellectual property is.

Large companies are okay, as long as the protection fee is negotiated, the cost of dilution to each project is acceptable, and small companies have no need to talk about it, so they have to rise up.

What's even more disgusting is that many video processing software will put their processed videos with their company logos, which is Sparta...... It's a little more friendly to insert ads at the beginning and end, which is also awkward but easy to handle.

Yang Yuanmei, a code farmer, realized that she needed to confuse the code, so she removed the place where the software company typed the logo, removed the advertising animation that was stuffed by the software company at the beginning and end of the video, and even removed the code snippet used to identify in the video.

In fact, there is no need to be nervous, this operation is just a precaution, because there is some noise about whether the short video on Douyin is for commercial use, and there is no risk of losing money at present.

She estimated the workload and asked weakly, "What about the second big problem?"

"The second is the size of the video, which I don't know much about. Our videos are mainly posted on Douyin, and it is best to post Douyin in a vertical version rather than a horizontal version. However, with the output format of computer software, the video is basically horizontal size, which is not suitable. ”

"I see, cropping. ”

Yang Yuanmei understands in seconds, but her expression is ugly, because this job is definitely a job of breaking her legs while moving her mouth and bottom.

The aspect ratio of the mobile phone is usually 16:9, and the resolution of the computer screen is usually 9:16, so the computer video is directly transmitted to the mobile phone without processing, and the mobile phone will adapt, and then it will become horizontal. Horizontal screen, this is a display method that violates user habits, and the loss of fans is extremely serious.

The most direct solution to this problem is to manually crop the video, remove the unused parts on both sides, and leave only the middle part, which adapts to the 16:9 aspect ratio. This is too difficult to do for ordinary videos, but it can be saved for videos with few frames and must be made by compositing images frame by frame.

When the computer software assembles the frame-by-frame character painting into a video, I don't know if it supports the aspect ratio of the vertical version of the mobile phone, if it does, it will be easy to do, and when the video picture is converted to a character painting, the character painting is cut into the aspect ratio of the vertical version, and then the output is assembled. This is not a lot of work, so you can't just make a small tool to crop pictures in batches.

But if all the assembly software that can be found does not support the output of the vertical aspect ratio of the mobile phone, it will be troublesome,I'm afraid you have to make an assembly software yourself.,The principle is the same as making a GIF.,Save a few pictures together to make a GIF,But the workload is too great......

Chu Yuanxi looked at her constipation-like expression and comforted her: "There is also the easiest way, with this method you don't have to do anything." ”

"What's so good?"

"Low, after using the computer to do it, shoot directly at the computer with your mobile phone. There is no need to do any code obfuscation for what output adaptation......"

"Good way! Just do it!" Yang Yuanmei squirted with a "poof".

Zhu Wei didn't understand a word, and felt that his IQ had been critically hit......

"What about the fifth?" Yang Yuanmei didn't expect her program ape path to be resurrected here, and she felt a great responsibility. "What the hell is engine animation? Let me make an animation engine?"

"It's really an engine, but it's not that complicated, you can read the interface, you can overlay pictures, and you can play spine animations. ”

"Spine animation, 2D skeletal animation, what?"

The so-called 2D skeletal animation is to design and make actions for the character after making an art character. The 2D art characters are "paper people", and the skeletal animation is the paper people punching and kicking and other actions.

"Oh, this is for the future, you don't have to do it right away. Chu Yuanxi also felt that his request was unreliable, and said: "In the future, we want to make IP, my idea is to take out IP-related characters first to make a batch of art resources, with bone animation." Then write the script, play the skeletal animation on the engine to make a short video, and dub it at the same time, which is used to attract traffic to the IP and convert the attention on Douyin into IP fans. ”

"You want a cinematic plot effect, right? "After all, Yang Yuanmei has been in Pengfei Technology for a few years, and Pengfei has done a lot of games, she has seen it in general, and basically understands what Chu Yuanxi wants, isn't this the plot of the game?

"Yes, but it's not just a left and right carousel, the characters have to be able to do actions in the process. Piercing eyes, scratching heads, shaking fingers, etc. ”

"Ahhhh ”

"It doesn't matter, you can use whatever engine you like, as long as it can be output as a demo. ”

Although Zhu Wei didn't understand anything, he felt that it was too wise to give Yang Yuanmei options. Chu Yuanxi said that this is called a screenwriter? She never thought that a screenwriter could withstand such exploitation.

She stood up and patted Chu Yuanxi on the shoulder: "Your song is written?"

"It's written. ”

"You can also write songs?" Yang Yuanmei was very surprised, "Show me it?"

The songs that Uncle Sheng and Ah Mu went to record today are "Paper Short Love", "Infatuated Rose", "Shaolin Hero" and "Why not". Among them, the recording method of "Paper Short Love" is more special, Chu Yuanxi requires that the recording is a cappella, that is, there is no background sound at all, it all depends on the singing skills of the voice actor, and it also needs to be dumb to become a female voice, which is very good for school skills.

Chu Yuanxi stayed in the office to write the lyrics, matching the lyrics of Champagne Ocean, benchmarking "9277", and Yang Yuanmei came just after writing it.
