1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:08,290
I guys will come to the part of mid-thought if you want to follow along please open the project file

2
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:12,150
for after effects of course patented dash method.

3
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:14,580
And please try to follow along OK.

4
00:00:14,650 --> 00:00:19,980
You might have more compositions here or even images depending on what you are going to do in this section.

5
00:00:21,290 --> 00:00:26,780
So the parent method is extremely powerful when you want to group animations together.

6
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,880
For example a child will follow its parent and you want whatever the parent does.

7
00:00:32,010 --> 00:00:33,670
The child will do so.

8
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:35,160
The concept is like this.

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,400
You don't group letters together but you create the same transformations from the parent letter to the

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,460
child left.

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,220
OK let's see some examples here.

12
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:50,520
I would say that both baby ship a mother a click and drag and drop them inside the composition just

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,880
over here to stick the baby ship and put it on the sign.

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,820
Now they're very big.

15
00:00:54,850 --> 00:01:01,150
I would select both of them as added use the scale to 30 percent OK because we need the space.

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,910
Now the BBJ I will make it 20 percent.

17
00:01:03,930 --> 00:01:05,020
I want it smaller.

18
00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:07,260
Let's put them next to each other.

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,690
Now let's start working.

20
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:11,660
How to get there is here.

21
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:14,240
The column parent link.

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,960
If you don't have it BASIC can for example the name and right click you'll see columns and make sure

23
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:23,570
that parent and link is checked.

24
00:01:23,570 --> 00:01:30,290
Now for you guys who are not using after effects 2018 the latest version then you will not find any

25
00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:30,730
link.

26
00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:37,630
You only find a apparent the end link is a great upgrade in 2018.

27
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:44,810
It really makes life easier but mainly is directed towards creating very easily certain expressions.

28
00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:47,720
We see that later on in the expression section.

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,950
So make sure it is checked and you will have the parent linker.

30
00:01:53,050 --> 00:01:56,410
Let's say that both players turned them up and down.

31
00:01:56,410 --> 00:02:02,430
We can see all the transformations you can parent a child to a parent.

32
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:03,240
OK.

33
00:02:03,610 --> 00:02:11,350
And you do so any change in the position skill rotation will also be effected on the positions and rotation

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,530
of the child.

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Let's take an example.

36
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:17,910
If you want to Pallant you can use the drop down over here.

37
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:23,340
This is much easier when you have lots of players and you can select the parent so you consider this

38
00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:25,890
is the child and you selecting a parent.

39
00:02:26,010 --> 00:02:27,720
Or you can use the big leap over here.

40
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,350
It's very nice if you release it.

41
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:30,660
Look what's doing.

42
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:38,560
To use the pick make you click and drag and just pointed to the parent player and you just release not

43
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,860
notice what's happening when you use the position.

44
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:46,570
If you use the position on the parent player also the child will follow.

45
00:02:46,660 --> 00:02:50,520
You'll notice it's following up on right and left and so on.

46
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:53,050
OK but not something very important.

47
00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:57,010
Look at the position in the baby shape or the child.

48
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:59,470
There is no change in the position.

49
00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:01,470
OK this is enigmatic right.

50
00:03:01,510 --> 00:03:04,470
The position here will stay the same.

51
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,510
That's because the child can also have his own animation.

52
00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:13,760
If use the scale in the parent also the child is scaling with the balance here.

53
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:14,710
You are OK.

54
00:03:14,770 --> 00:03:19,940
Pretty easy these transformations are according to the point of the parent.

55
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,490
You're doing some changes in the position skill rotation of the parent.

56
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:29,650
Use the anchor point of the parent and the child here will follow the entire point of the parent.

57
00:03:29,650 --> 00:03:32,520
This is very obvious when you use the rotation.

58
00:03:32,530 --> 00:03:39,280
If you're tired you're not as the child or soul or this baby ship is rotating according to the point

59
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,220
of the parent.

60
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:46,660
Change the anchor point of the parent for example just over here you will notice that that both are

61
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:49,860
rotating according to the and good point of the parent.

62
00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:52,260
So actually this is the concept of parenting.

63
00:03:52,270 --> 00:04:00,370
I'm undoing Now you paint one layer to another layer the parent that is called the child and the main

64
00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:01,120
layer.

65
00:04:01,170 --> 00:04:07,300
You notice this is the main layer here Rupert is called the parent as simple as this.

66
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,480
So the next lecture will create some more animation and we use the padded method and see exactly how

67
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,380
it works.

68
00:04:13,390 --> 00:04:14,000
I'll see you then.
