00:00:00,930 --> 00:00:06,520
In this lecture guys I would like you try your hand on that visual effects so you will discover how

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:11,650
easy it is to apply visual effects to any video within after effects.

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,930
Also you might have more ideas later on to create your own video with this technique.

4
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:23,220
So you start by imparting good video you might probably already know that you can right click in the

5
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:29,280
project panel go to import and you go to find the click on file.

6
00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:35,670
And of course you have it your file manager and here there is a specific video I would like to import

7
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:38,630
is the river 14 2 or 5.

8
00:00:38,970 --> 00:00:46,630
Make sure that create composition is unchecked and you click on import.

9
00:00:46,820 --> 00:00:53,120
Now that you have your video within after effects you want to create a new composition to start working

10
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,100
on The View and applying the facts.

11
00:00:55,310 --> 00:01:00,140
The best way is to click and drag the video into the timeline over here.

12
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:05,420
And when you release a composition is created for you and this is the comp over here and your project

13
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:08,920
panel and you can start working.

14
00:01:08,930 --> 00:01:11,910
Our aim here is to change the color of the water.

15
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,890
Want to give it a different look with different colors.

16
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:20,850
For this we need to create a mask that will include only what.

17
00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:23,720
Now that's pretty easy to create a mask.

18
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,660
First of all make sure you have selected your layer.

19
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:27,040
OK.

20
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:28,340
That's important.

21
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:35,360
And then you can go to the pen tool you can link click and select and tool and you start creating the

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,130
mask.

23
00:01:37,220 --> 00:01:39,710
Let's see if we start creating the mask from over here.

24
00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:42,380
So to start you put your first Cliq over here.

25
00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:44,770
You'll have a first point.

26
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Then he goes inside and you decide OK.

27
00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:50,240
This is the second point trying to make straight lines a bit.

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,290
I'm going to be a bit rough.

29
00:01:51,290 --> 00:01:53,270
It's OK for this lecture.

30
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:55,350
And let's put another point over here.

31
00:01:55,610 --> 00:02:01,180
And one point just over here to continue with the mask we need to shift the viewer.

32
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:06,360
You can simply press on the spacebar and keep abreast then click and lock up OK.

33
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:08,150
Then you the space bar.

34
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:12,210
So let's click outside is no problem you are selecting the water.

35
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:19,720
This click over here and then if you point the first point or your first click you notice that the Pentagon

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,360
has changed and there is a small circle.

37
00:02:21,460 --> 00:02:28,480
This means it's going to close the mosque you do a let's go back to 100 percent and click over here

38
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:30,580
and go to fit.

39
00:02:30,610 --> 00:02:36,280
Now you notice that the mask has masked your lair of course it's including only the area within the

40
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,030
mosque.

41
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:38,870
The other area is not visible.

42
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:43,500
It doesn't matter for now because this is exactly what you want to apply.

43
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:48,610
In effect you go to the effects and preset panel you click on it you can see it over here.

44
00:02:48,610 --> 00:02:54,490
I'm sure you know you go to window and you have the and preset panel just over here.

45
00:02:55,910 --> 00:03:01,910
Within the ethics simply said let's look for the tri tone effect so all you have to do in the search.

46
00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:02,600
You right.

47
00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:03,700
Right.

48
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:06,660
This is the tritone effect.

49
00:03:07,570 --> 00:03:11,310
To play it on the video with its mask you just click on the tri tone.

50
00:03:11,410 --> 00:03:18,310
You can drop it inside the composition of your school but on the lead here that would be more precise.

51
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:19,260
Here you are now.

52
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,070
You already applied the effect and it's working on the mask.

53
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:27,060
You'll notice that the control panel has opened.

54
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:32,950
And over here do you have your Cliton mask if you come to the layer and click on the small arrow here

55
00:03:32,990 --> 00:03:38,090
and take down you and not just you have masks and you have an act for Jordan mask.

56
00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:44,130
This is your mask over here and it has certain property inside and you have the facts.

57
00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:49,560
So now you have tried torne that has been applied to it again and you have all the properties of the

58
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:57,330
tri tone then you could do these except compositing options compositing options is like asking where

59
00:03:57,330 --> 00:04:00,080
do you want to apply this effect on which mask.

60
00:04:00,090 --> 00:04:08,610
In fact if you click on the plus sign you will notice it opened the mask 1 over here and this is the

61
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:09,630
only mass that you have.

62
00:04:09,630 --> 00:04:15,260
So after effect picked the only mass that you have I notice now you can see the complete video.

63
00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:19,910
One with a pod that is mask and the other one that does not mask.

64
00:04:19,930 --> 00:04:22,900
So now you want it to work on the effect itself.

65
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:28,590
To change the colors you'll have three properties you can change the colors for the highlights which

66
00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:35,850
are the bright colors within the video in the mask and the shadows which are the dark colors and the

67
00:04:35,870 --> 00:04:42,160
mid-tone which are the dominant colors here in between the highlights and the Beatles as click on the

68
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,680
mittens here.

69
00:04:43,790 --> 00:04:50,560
I know you have the mic tones and you can change the color as is as simple as it can click and drag

70
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:52,550
and decide what colors you want to give.

71
00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:59,440
Or you know come over here make it like dark Seann something like this as you wish.

72
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,450
I'll put it over here.

73
00:05:00,460 --> 00:05:01,470
It's good.

74
00:05:01,780 --> 00:05:03,030
Then you click OK.

75
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:04,010
Hey guys.

76
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:12,040
You already applied and in fact to your video to come over and press spacebar you can play it and not

77
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,850
as you have done a great job guys.

78
00:05:15,290 --> 00:05:21,830
So a playing effect in after effects is pretty easy provided that you know certain things and you are

79
00:05:22,190 --> 00:05:24,460
very precise in what you're doing.

80
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,940
Your next step might be if you want to play more ears took the mask around this mountain for example

81
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:36,220
and also around the mountain and change the colors or so using the same effect.

82
00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:36,900
Right.

83
00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:40,590
I'll show you how to do this in the practice activity later on.

84
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,570
Thank you.

85
00:05:41,690 --> 00:05:43,350
I will see you in the next lecture.
