Zhu Chi stretched out her neck and looked at her, and she was stunned. Why didn’t you ask the young lady to pick the stars in the sky for you?

Unexpectedly, Yang Yuanmei was relieved: "This is simple. First extract the normal animation frame by frame into pictures, then use the program to turn it into a character drawing, and then assemble the character drawing frame by frame. Just calculate the array to assemble the animation. If there is music, just reprocess it. Because it is frame by frame, the original music can basically be used. If you don't, add a suitable one by yourself. This is not a programmer, Lao Chu, and anyone can operate it after installing the software."

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

He glanced at Yang Yuanmei, and Yang Yuanmei understood it in a second, and gave him a reassuring look and said, "I'm confused about the tools."

In the three steps given by Yang Yuanmei, the software tools provided by software developers are all used in the three steps, and they are different software. The main problem with using these tools is not the problem 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 will ask them for extra money.

Some companies do not care about your purpose at all. Just a huge licensing fee will make you a real lion's big talk, allowing you to see what intellectual property is.

It’s okay for a large company to negotiate protection fees, and the cost of diluting to each project is acceptable. The small company has no negotiations at all, so it has to rise up.

And what's even more disgusting is that many video processing software will put videos processed on their company's logo, which is Spartan... What's more friendly is that the advertisements are inserted at the beginning and end, which is awkward but easy to deal with.

The coder girl Yang Yuanmei realized that she needed to confuse her code, removed the place where the software company called the logo, removed the advertising animations that were stuffed into the software company at the beginning and end of the video, and even removed the code snippets used to identify in the video.

In fact, there is no need to be nervous. This operation is just to prevent problems before it happens, because some of the short videos on Douyin are used for commercial purposes, and there is no risk of losing money at the moment.

She estimated the workload and asked weakly: "What about the second big question?"

"The second is the size of the video, and I don't know much about this. Our videos are mainly posted on Douyin. It is best to post vertical videos instead of horizontal versions. However, using the output format of computer software, the videos are basically horizontal versions and are not suitable."

"I understand, cut."

Yang Yuanmei understood it in seconds, but her expression was ugly, because this job was definitely a job of moving her mouth and running and breaking her legs.

The aspect ratio of a mobile phone is usually 16:9, and the resolution of a computer screen is usually 9:16. Therefore, if the computer video is not processed, it will be directly transmitted to the mobile phone. The mobile phone will adapt and then become a horizontal screen. Horizontal screen is a display method that violates user habits and is extremely serious.

The most direct solution to solve this problem is to manually cut the video, remove the unused ones on both sides, leaving only the middle part, and adapt to the aspect ratio of 16:9. This operation is too difficult to implement for general videos, but for videos with very few frames and must be produced by synthesising pictures frame by frame, can it be saved?

When the computer software assembles frame-by-frame character drawing into video and outputs it, it does not know whether it supports the aspect ratio of the vertical version of the mobile phone. If it is supported, it will be easy. When the video picture is converted to character drawing, just cut the character drawing into the aspect ratio of the vertical version, and then assemble and output. This workload is not large, and it is really not possible to make a gadget to batch crop pictures.

But if all the assembly software that can be found does not support outputting the vertical aspect ratio of the mobile phone, it will be troublesome. I am afraid that you have to compile an assembly software yourself. The principle is the same as making GIF animations. If you save a few pictures, you will be a GIF, but the workload is too high...

Chu Yuanxi looked at her constipated expression and comforted her, "There is another simplest way. You don't have to do anything with this method."

"What's so good?"

"Low, after using the computer, you can just use your phone to shoot at the computer. You don't need to do any output and any code obfuscation..."

"Good way! Just do it!" Yang Yuanmei squirted in a flash.

Zhu Chi didn't understand a single sentence, and felt that his IQ was hit by a critical hit...

"What about this fifth one?" Yang Yuanmei didn't expect that her programmer's road was resurrected here, and she felt a great responsibility. "What the hell is engine animation? Let me make an animation engine?"

"It's indeed an engine, but it's not that complicated. It's enough to read the interface and superimpose pictures, and it's enough to play spine animations."

"Spine animation? 2D skeleton animation? What are you doing?"

The so-called 2D skeleton animation is to design and create actions for the character after the art character is done. The 2D art character is some "paper man", and skeleton animation is to make movements such as boxing and kicking.

"Oh, this is for the future, and you don't have to do it immediately." Chu Yuanxi also felt that his request was unreliable and said, "In the future, we will do IP. My idea is to first take out IP-related characters to make a batch of art resources with skeleton animations. Then the screenwriter plays skeleton animations on the engine and make short videos, and dubbing them at the same time, to attract traffic to IP and convert attention on Douyin into IP fans."

"What you want is a movie-style plot effect, right? The kind of carousel on the left and right." After all, Yang Yuanmei has been with Pengfei Technology for several years, and Pengfei has made many games. She has seen it all through her eyes and has basically understood what Chu Yuanxi wants. Isn't this the game plot?

"Yes! But it's not just a left-right carousel, but the characters must be able to do things during the process, slashing their heads, shaking their fingers, etc."

"Ahhhh, I understand, I'm going to do micro-expression animation on a big avatar like Legend of Sword and Fairy? I can definitely do this, but I must use the existing animation engine, cocos2D, etc."

"That's okay. You can use any engine you like, as long as it can output it into a demo."

Although Zhu Chi didn't understand anything, she felt that giving Yang Yuanmei options was too wise. Chu Yuanxi said that this was called a screenwriter? She never thought that a screenwriter could withstand such exploitation.

She stood up and patted Chu Yuanxi on the shoulder: "Have you finished writing your song?"

“Written.”

"You can still write songs?" Yang Yuanmei was very surprised, "Take it to me and take a look?"

The songs that Uncle Sheng and A Ya went to record today are "The Love of the Paper", "The Love of the Love of the Love of the Love", "The Love of the Shaolin Heroes" and "What's wrong with it". Among them, "The Love of the Paper" is quite special. Chu Yuanxi asked to record a cappella singing, which means that it does not have any background sound at all. It all depends on the singing skills of the voice actors, and A Ya needs to become a female voice, which is very good at taking the school skills.
