Hey everybody it's been a while since I stopped in to say hi in person so hi
first of all in this video I just want to talk about Instagram TV if you
haven't heard it recently launched and it's going to allow Instagram users to
upload up to a ten minute long video and then hour long videos for some other
accounts this might be a way this might be a platform that has an opportunity to
actually compete with YouTube because Instagram is boasting just millions of
users and it's considered like the hot way to engage with your audience either
right now specifically what I'm gonna talk about though is how this ties in
with Adobe character animator one of the things that I love about character
animator is you can quickly make animations of characters that can be
used for things like they be used for things like explainer videos or just
like a fun way for you to quickly engage with your audience on a regular basis so
I'm gonna show you how to configure Adobe character animator to get a
vertical video because Instagram TV is all vertical like this it's meant to be
viewed on your phone in the app and it's embracing the idea that a lot of people
are watching videos on their phones now so YouTube traditionally is like this
although you can upload vertical videos to YouTube and it will reformat the
player in order to accept that but natively Instagram is only going to be
accepting our Instagram TV is only going to be accepting vertical videos it will
let you upload a horizontal video but it's gonna look terrible it's gonna be
this tiny little image now what's really neat about this though is if you have a
full body character on the screen and you can get that to fill up this phone
really nicely it's just gonna be this cool engaging animated character on the
on the viewer screen and I think that's just awesome so I'm not gonna talk
anymore let's just jump into it we should be able to blow through this and
just paint
[Music] all right hello again I'm now in my
little Adobe character animator box so here we have the PewDiePie character I
used just one of my first characters I made actually and we're gonna go ahead
and use him for this demo alright so what we want to think about is HD video
for instance some of the common sizes 1920 by 1080 is a pretty common size and
that's generally what I upload my YouTube videos as so since we're gonna
be putting this on a phone and might be hard to see in this tiny little screen
we just want to flip that now fortunately we can click here in our
timeline just make sure you don't click on the character and you'll see on the
right hand side here 1920 by 1080 is our current width and height and I'm just
gonna go ahead and swap these so I'll go ahead and type 10 8 0 into the width and
12 8 0 into the height and now you see I have this nice more vertical sized
screen here and drag that into the center and then I just want to select my
character here and I'm gonna find the transform tab over here on the right and
I am just gonna mess her out these position values a little bit until I get
him framed up nice right here now he doesn't have a full body as well one of
my first characters they just kind of cheated but this should still actually
work out pretty nice here so we're just gonna go ahead and record some video and
render this out and see what that looks like my scenes all set up and now it's
just time to do a little bit of acting
[Music] all right everybody so at this point
I've rendered out my video I went ahead and use my normal YouTube settings I
think I used 1920 by 1080 just like the video I set up here in adobe character
animator AAC audio you can mess around those settings I don't really think that
that's necessarily always what you're gonna wander that you need something
that HD so play around that and see what works for you but I think that this
should turn out pretty good so the next thing you're gonna need to do is get
instagram TV now the Instagram PC program or application will allow you to
use your web camera to create video and so there's probably potential for you to
be able to get stuff on on Instagram TV that way but for the most part
everything happens through this phone here right so I do a little trick and
hopefully instagrams not gonna like bust me for this or something but I will take
videos like this and I usually keep them pretty short so it's not a huge file and
I email it to myself or put it in like a Dropbox or something download it onto my
phone now the thing you want to keep in mind when you're downloading that onto
your phone is that Instagram is generally gonna look in like specific
places for the video files and at least from my experience here it only showed
me like four locations in my albums so you're gonna make sure that you download
that file to one of those locations are you some kind of file manager on your
phone to move it into the right place all right so once I email this to myself
I'll download it and then I'll go ahead and upload it now to do that you're
gonna need the Instagram app and you should have gotten an update if you have
Auto updates on that gave you the Instagram a TV button basically it's
gonna look like a little TV and your Instagram app or you can download the
actual Instagram TV app which is what I did here and this is
just gonna give you a few more options as to like settings and different things
for your video so I I uploaded it here I gave it a title I gave it a description
and basically now we got something that looks just like this so pretty cool
right it fills the whole screen it looks really nice you know it's this whole
whole screen effect here and this will be totally cool
for any kind of explainer video or just some little advertisement or just you
know fun way for me to engage with the fans of media resonates through quick
little animations like this so pretty awesome I'm actually hoping they get
some kind of live streaming going with this as well because that would be
really cool if somehow we could jigger that whole thing together to do a live
stream on Instagram um that's about it once it's up there you can go ahead and
share it with the world and show everybody how awesome you are
so if you didn't know I do have an Instagram account it's a media resonate
on Instagram and I tend to post lots of pictures concept art and different
things that I'm doing for the different projects I'm working on so feel free to
check that out and if you didn't know we are creating or I am I I'm creating a
animated series but I did enlist some friends and they're helping me out with
writing and just coming up with ideas and different things like that I'm still
doing all the art myself unfortunately but I'm hoping if this takes off when
you get some more people involved in it and make it a little bit bigger of a
thing all right so stick around if you haven't subscribed please hit that
button the series is coming up I think you're all really gonna dig it and I
hope you found this information on Instagram useful and use it to make
something cool alright until next time [Music]
[Applause] [Music]
