00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:07,470
Hi guys and welcome to the first lecture in Puppet towards the first thing you have to do is set up

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,230
a good workspace and decide what kind of images you want to work with.

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,330
So here I chose the Nimish workspace.

4
00:00:16,330 --> 00:00:18,820
If you don't have it on this line most probably you don't.

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,620
You can come to double arrow over here and you will find animation here.

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,420
Click on this workspace and sometimes it comes messy.

7
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:29,770
On the right side here so you can just add them up.

8
00:00:29,790 --> 00:00:32,540
You know by clicking on them as simple as this.

9
00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:35,650
And we don't need to or you can just close the audio.

10
00:00:35,850 --> 00:00:42,100
We need the smoother I will do a simple change to accommodate the size of the composition.

11
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,990
I would take the current position and click on it and drag it.

12
00:00:44,990 --> 00:00:47,490
I just put it on the extreme right.

13
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:50,940
Why do you suppose to have a green line from top to bottom.

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:57,900
If you release you are now the composition panel is on your left and it's put to it like this.

15
00:00:57,900 --> 00:00:59,450
Now let's make it a bit smaller.

16
00:01:00,390 --> 00:01:02,090
Let's create a new composition.

17
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:03,530
I will use a tiger.

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,530
The tiger is a ngi image as you can see it has no background.

19
00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:12,230
The background is transparent so click and drag and create a new up.

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,480
How about if you make it only 20 seconds.

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:21,810
So click here and write 2000 that will be 20 seconds and then we bring the work area and to the timeline

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:29,410
indicator and the pump to the work area we have now only 20 seconds we can animate during this time.

23
00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:37,430
Let's look at the overall proposition I have now the transparency on that off you can see the background

24
00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:42,530
of decomposition is make the image a bit smaller a red shift and such.

25
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:47,200
Now with the transparency you can see that the image does not have any background.

26
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:51,560
This is the kind of images that you will an image was the puppet tool.

27
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,690
After all it's called puppet tool.

28
00:01:53,720 --> 00:02:00,780
So you are puppeteering some house or you need some characters with no background the puppet tool will

29
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:03,570
always work on the alpha channel.

30
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:08,910
If you remember about the alpha channel we mentioned that several times if you come to the colors here

31
00:02:08,970 --> 00:02:14,700
show Channon and color management setting you can for example select the red and you are seeing here

32
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,160
the right colors within this image.

33
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:20,300
The black ones.

34
00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:21,700
There is a lot of red.

35
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:23,810
The gray is not much right.

36
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:27,150
That's the concept the White might be not at all.

37
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,100
If you go for example for the green you can see the same amount of greens that you have within the images.

38
00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:39,400
If you're going out to the alpha channel and that's the most interesting it would show you all the pictures

39
00:02:39,850 --> 00:02:41,740
that are not transparent.

40
00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:44,630
These are the one in white and in black.

41
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:52,770
You have all the transparent boxes the puppet tool will work on the alpha channel and disregard whatever

42
00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:55,170
is transparent and this is very important.

43
00:02:55,180 --> 00:02:59,840
Otherwise you're animating a whole image a square or rectangular image.

44
00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:02,380
Sometimes is useful but not all the time.

45
00:03:02,380 --> 00:03:05,830
It's actually a puppet to go.

46
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:14,320
Let's go back to actually be talking transparency now that we have set up our workspace and our image

47
00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:19,580
in the next lecture we start using the puppet tool and see exactly how it works.
