Hi guys and welcome to the first lecture in Puppet towards the first thing you have to do is set up
a good workspace and decide what kind of images you want to work with.
So here I chose the Nimish workspace.
If you don't have it on this line most probably you don't.
You can come to double arrow over here and you will find animation here.
Click on this workspace and sometimes it comes messy.
On the right side here so you can just add them up.
You know by clicking on them as simple as this.
And we don't need to or you can just close the audio.
We need the smoother I will do a simple change to accommodate the size of the composition.
I would take the current position and click on it and drag it.
I just put it on the extreme right.
Why do you suppose to have a green line from top to bottom.
If you release you are now the composition panel is on your left and it's put to it like this.
Now let's make it a bit smaller.
Let's create a new composition.
I will use a tiger.
The tiger is a ngi image as you can see it has no background.
The background is transparent so click and drag and create a new up.
How about if you make it only 20 seconds.
So click here and write 2000 that will be 20 seconds and then we bring the work area and to the timeline
indicator and the pump to the work area we have now only 20 seconds we can animate during this time.
Let's look at the overall proposition I have now the transparency on that off you can see the background
of decomposition is make the image a bit smaller a red shift and such.
Now with the transparency you can see that the image does not have any background.
This is the kind of images that you will an image was the puppet tool.
After all it's called puppet tool.
So you are puppeteering some house or you need some characters with no background the puppet tool will
always work on the alpha channel.
If you remember about the alpha channel we mentioned that several times if you come to the colors here
show Channon and color management setting you can for example select the red and you are seeing here
the right colors within this image.
The black ones.
There is a lot of red.
The gray is not much right.
That's the concept the White might be not at all.
If you go for example for the green you can see the same amount of greens that you have within the images.
If you're going out to the alpha channel and that's the most interesting it would show you all the pictures
that are not transparent.
These are the one in white and in black.
You have all the transparent boxes the puppet tool will work on the alpha channel and disregard whatever
is transparent and this is very important.
Otherwise you're animating a whole image a square or rectangular image.
Sometimes is useful but not all the time.
It's actually a puppet to go.
Let's go back to actually be talking transparency now that we have set up our workspace and our image
in the next lecture we start using the puppet tool and see exactly how it works.
