3rd Milestone written by: Matthew Castillo

The goal of the project was to create an interactive interface that can react to the functions of an Xbox one/360 controller. For this project I worked with Andy Z who did the majority of the patch work and getting elements of our patch to work properly. My focus in the beginning stages of the patch process was on video and trying to figure out how to control video using our Xbox controller in Max7, and Andy’s focus was on audio. As the process went by we found ourselves needing to focus on Audio, especially when we saw how much farther we have gotten implementing the audio to function properly with the Xbox patch than we did video. Ever since then I have been leaning more on the research and design aspect of things, rather than the patchwork side that Andy was more heavily focused on, I kept researching fixes to any patch issues Andy would face and do my best to find the solutions. As of recently I have been working on the assets for our patch, such as custom icons we can use to better illustrate and design our patch. Lastly, I want to note that although I say “our patch”, I do mean to say that the Xbox one patch was a patch we adapted to work with other existing Max components, we did NOT create this patch from scratch.

I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.

Final Project_Liuyi

By -
At the last three weeks of this semester, Mr. Panago introduced us a new video editing software Adobe After Effects. Adobe Premiere, which is also mainly for video editing that I explored in midterm project, is generally employed to arrange the order of videos, cut and put transitions, it is also capable of doing basic DVD authoring. While After Effects can edit video footage in much the same way as Premiere, it is designed specifically to work with video layering, compositing, effects and animation. Basically as what it states in its name, it is used for "Effects".Of course Premiere can also do these things but After Effects has a slightly different workflow that makes them easier. After Effects also tends to have better quality effects, etc (Source: http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/compare/aftereffects-vs-premiere.html ). Strong interest in editing videos drove me to discover Adobe After Effects as final project. To explore its two-dimension animated picture making functio
