00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:08,100
Hi guys in this lecture are you going to explore a bit how to use solid solitaires as backgrounds for

2
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:12,490
compositions or partial backgrounds maybe for part of the composition.

3
00:00:13,950 --> 00:00:18,400
First of all let's explore the background color in the composition settings.

4
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:21,390
Let's for example doubleclick on this composition.

5
00:00:21,390 --> 00:00:23,870
It's a very nice animation we have done before.

6
00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:30,750
Let's change the background color of this composition from composition settings and give it a nice green

7
00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:35,200
color something that you would like something like this by turn.

8
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:37,020
This will do for example.

9
00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:39,720
And we click OK I've got this here.

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:46,200
I can see a background color for the composition but actually if I come to the transparency button here

11
00:00:46,650 --> 00:00:49,360
click on it this color disappears.

12
00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:52,340
So is this really a real background or not.

13
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:58,780
Well if you're kind of this way and in before for example without transparency you'll see this color

14
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:05,130
but it put it that way and you render it that movie for example with transparency you will not see the

15
00:01:05,130 --> 00:01:05,700
color.

16
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:07,150
Let me prove it to you.

17
00:01:07,420 --> 00:01:12,540
If you can't tell a composition here and take the YouTube title not just has a background click and

18
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:17,870
drag and drop it over the you're You'll notice that the background color that you put from position

19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,050
settings did not come in.

20
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:24,010
So actually background colors and not nested.

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,880
Maybe you can use them just to help you walk but when you're a composition you bring it in and you make

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,130
it as pick up the background color doesn't come in.

23
00:01:34,470 --> 00:01:39,590
You can come to the pre-camp and add a solid layer to create a background.

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,500
Let's make this one composition setting let's take it to black.

25
00:01:43,580 --> 00:01:47,010
Like if there is nothing.

26
00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:50,220
So here you can add a story there to create the background.

27
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:56,550
Let's do this let's first of all reduce the size of the composers or put it on transparency.

28
00:01:56,670 --> 00:02:02,210
Come here and I will use now the region of interest to create you know something like this.

29
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:08,680
I will go to composition and say Club camp to Region of it just now.

30
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:16,170
Let's add a solid layer so I right click new solid and I will make make it the size of the comp so this

31
00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:19,400
is the size of the composition here and click ok.

32
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,790
Of course it came on top.

33
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:22,170
I would drag it up put it down.

34
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:29,990
Maybe I'll open the transparency and reduce the transparency a bit or a lot come back to those.

35
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:31,200
Here you are.

36
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:34,180
Your know its composition has a background.

37
00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:40,380
Let's take a video for example the river here and drop it under your pre-camp is very beautiful.

38
00:02:41,310 --> 00:02:44,470
Now you can select your composition and light on the bottom.

39
00:02:45,580 --> 00:02:50,200
Now the pre-camp or the that composition is coming is on background.

40
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,330
That's pretty good.

41
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:59,010
Let's take the second one which is solid background and ethics I would double click on it it just blank.

42
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:06,350
Let's go back to the YouTube title and remove the solid lead or make it invisible.

43
00:03:06,380 --> 00:03:08,480
Now I come back to the three.

44
00:03:08,510 --> 00:03:13,760
Number three I will take the cube and just drop it in so it doesn't have any background coming with

45
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,420
it.

46
00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:20,300
Now I want to add a nice background here for my YouTube channel where the best way is to use a solid

47
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:21,030
layer.

48
00:03:21,390 --> 00:03:22,570
Not is that in the course.

49
00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:25,860
Sometimes I use the rectangle tool to create the background.

50
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:34,400
This was because I hadn't of Duty yet to the street laughs so that I had a new background here new solid.

51
00:03:34,420 --> 00:03:39,800
And of course make sure it's the size of the composition and give it for example this color will do

52
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,900
this make it a bit lighter.

53
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,500
OK.

54
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,850
I click OK.

55
00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:44,520
OK.

56
00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:50,480
So now I have really a layer that is acting as a background now solid layers.

57
00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:53,190
They come with a solid color.

58
00:03:53,420 --> 00:03:56,790
You can do is start adding certain effects to style them.

59
00:03:57,170 --> 00:04:02,450
In this lecture I will show you only two effects but later on you will notice that there are so many

60
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:07,850
eFax you can add that which style your background with any composition.

61
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,490
Let's go to the effect and present.

62
00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:17,190
The first fact I want to show you that is very much in use is the vignette in motion graphics and in

63
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:25,490
editing vignette R-S.C. vignette is very much in use as laggards and lappet on the solid line not as

64
00:04:25,490 --> 00:04:29,950
the vignette what it does it highlights the center and diems the borders.

65
00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:30,870
That's a job.

66
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:33,840
This is actually exaggerated too much.

67
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:40,340
The idea the amount if you have the amount you will get darker borders you see if this is your object

68
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,300
this is what you want to do if you're doing motion graphics.

69
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:50,090
There is no rule but if you're doing video editing maybe you stick to the lowest figures like 85 even

70
00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:51,670
less so.

71
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:53,400
Me type 85 here.

72
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:59,510
That will be largely enough as you notice there is a bright center and the borders are a bit.

73
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,990
If you've got the words the negative numbers the vignette will invert color somehow and the borders

74
00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:08,500
are lighter than the center.

75
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,090
So it's your choice.

76
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:14,720
You can also play with the angle of view that is like zooming in or out you know there's like zooming

77
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,660
in zooming out but keeping that in yet somehow very active.

78
00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:23,660
I will reset this one right click and go to reset it reset it.

79
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:26,440
I would even reset the previous one.

80
00:05:26,450 --> 00:05:29,590
There is also the center you can play with the center.

81
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,230
Just pull over here for example you change where the vignette center is.

82
00:05:34,340 --> 00:05:37,820
OK something like this will be cool depending on what you're doing.

83
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:45,670
This is the first fact let's remove the visibility and lock this later.

84
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:51,310
Let's go back to the project panel we have so many soldiers now that I did here I did the mistake I

85
00:05:51,330 --> 00:05:52,680
asked you not to do so.

86
00:05:52,730 --> 00:05:56,250
I said one of them for example and press delete it does me.

87
00:05:56,250 --> 00:05:58,310
This one is used in one composition.

88
00:05:58,330 --> 00:06:00,450
I don't really see it.

89
00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:04,090
This one didn't ask you the question because I didn't use it again.

90
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:04,990
I didn't use it.

91
00:06:05,030 --> 00:06:06,810
And this one I didn't use it.

92
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:08,630
So you know this is how we get away with it.

93
00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:11,150
Then maybe this one or this one is used.

94
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:14,420
So when you try to delete not as which one is used or not.

95
00:06:14,650 --> 00:06:19,960
Nevertheless you can right click for example and you have here revealing camp and exactly we'll see

96
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,170
where it has been used.

97
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,830
So I would take the medium greatest cause and drop it above the other warm ups.

98
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:30,280
This one is not a full comp is it has a size.

99
00:06:30,510 --> 00:06:36,310
If I come over and go to layer and choose the solid setting size is going to change the solid setting

100
00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:38,660
or create a new solid.

101
00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:40,310
Well I don't want to do that now.

102
00:06:40,410 --> 00:06:41,640
I don't want to mess with this one.

103
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,230
I would take one that is you know fall and drop it just above.

104
00:06:46,470 --> 00:06:53,520
So the next effect I would like to show you is the ramp effect and that's the reason we chose any color

105
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,020
here.

106
00:06:54,180 --> 00:07:00,720
Click on the gradient ramp and drop it on the left you want to start now the gradient right is pretty

107
00:07:00,810 --> 00:07:02,280
neat you know effect.

108
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,040
You have these start ramp which is usually over here.

109
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:09,160
This is where the ramp starts and you have the end ramp.

110
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:11,330
That's where it starts you notice.

111
00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:13,620
So you have two colors here.

112
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:18,930
The first color the start color and the color which you can change the way you would like take the first

113
00:07:18,930 --> 00:07:23,870
cut for example I make it some kind of yellowish something like this.

114
00:07:23,970 --> 00:07:24,560
OK.

115
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:26,910
I'm not using nice color sorry guys.

116
00:07:26,910 --> 00:07:32,540
And you of course you can't change the color palette so you can move these centers around.

117
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:33,200
OK.

118
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:38,560
So this is the gradient ramp and you create something quite beautiful over here.

119
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:44,240
You're going to have it in here or you can make it rigid the way you would like if I reset everything

120
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,310
and go back to radial.

121
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:49,780
You notice this is the start and put it in the middle.

122
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:50,300
OK.

123
00:07:50,310 --> 00:07:51,430
And this is the.

124
00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:56,740
And I'll just put it over here and you have a very nice radial working here.

125
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:03,120
Usually we want to swap colors and choose the black is too dark maybe to lighten it.

126
00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:03,960
OK.

127
00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:08,310
So now you have a very nice vignette using the gradient ramp.

128
00:08:08,310 --> 00:08:12,080
Of course you can style the gradient up the way you would like.

129
00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:17,570
So you learned a lot in this lecture and I hope you will practice them and your backgrounds now are

130
00:08:17,570 --> 00:08:21,930
stable solid layers with some effect.

131
00:08:23,050 --> 00:08:24,490
Thank you very much for listening.

132
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:25,990
Oh see you in the next lecture.
