-moz-animation: et_bounce 1s infinite;
-ms-animation: et_bounce 1s infinite;

Production Notes

As always, below is a list of the software and gear used to create Divi Nation.

This week I had three production goals. The first was to figure out a good manual setting on the Canon XA20 for my segment videos. The second was to make the lighting for the grey backdrop more interesting. The third was to get better sound quality out of my H6 Zoom.

I am happy to report that I accomplished all three. But, as you might have noticed, a setting in Premiere that I didn’t catch until it was too late has caused a flickering effect on the video in the scenes with a backdrop. What’s maddening about this is that I noticed it while editing but thought it was the result of un-rendered video effects that would smooth out upon final render/export. I was wrong. It looks like the main culprit is a blend setting that I didn’t fully understand the impact of. Lesson learned.

Next week my goal will be to continue to refine the results I achieved in this episode, avoid the flicker, and turn out a better episode. As always, if you have any production questions or comments just hit me up in the comments section below and I’d be happy to talk shop.
