1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,500 Let's work with my kids a bit less understand how to get markers First of all on the timeline. 2 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:12,440 The first thing you want to know is there are markers for the compositions that is the markers that 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,360 you're putting on the work area that are called composition markers and there are markers that you can 4 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,800 put on a certain layer that will appear just here. 5 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,100 Let's see how to do that. 6 00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:26,090 So we agreed we have composition markers and layer markers. 7 00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:30,680 Each one of them will have a certain use depending on what you want of course to achieve and what kind 8 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,570 of information you want to capture or add to your layers or do your composition. 9 00:00:35,570 --> 00:00:39,760 First of all let's get the matter inside the work area here. 10 00:00:39,770 --> 00:00:43,410 Or a composition market place to detect everything. 11 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:45,000 Your first option is this. 12 00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:48,180 A little button here that looks like a shield. 13 00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:54,470 This is the button where you can click and drag and you will have created a marker on the work area 14 00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:56,030 to compose the Shoemark. 15 00:00:56,090 --> 00:01:01,370 Not this is the first marker so it has the number one here and I'll show you how to edit this one. 16 00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:08,900 If you click again and you drag you will have another marker that has the number two here and so on. 17 00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:15,430 You can get as many markers as you want if you want to remove a marker just like it outside is gone. 18 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:21,230 And you know the 5 is going to appear here or if you want to delete the marker all you have to do is 19 00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:27,230 just press control and there is the scissors that will appear here and you will be clicking and deleting 20 00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:28,190 the marker. 21 00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:29,090 They say here. 22 00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,070 Number two a press control. 23 00:01:31,070 --> 00:01:32,120 I delete it. 24 00:01:32,150 --> 00:01:35,010 I can create a new market now if I bring it in. 25 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,630 Not this smarter one. 26 00:01:36,650 --> 00:01:37,820 That is coming back. 27 00:01:37,820 --> 00:01:40,950 So now Mark 2 is coming in. 28 00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:44,870 So after effects is very stubborn it wanted to start one two three four five. 29 00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:49,810 It won't let you start three four five six unless you read the first two months. 30 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,280 Another thing you look about Mark as you can right click on a marker and you have something go to market 31 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:55,960 time. 32 00:01:56,090 --> 00:01:59,540 Delete this marker delete all the marker and lock this month. 33 00:01:59,810 --> 00:02:00,360 Let's go. 34 00:02:00,380 --> 00:02:02,740 Go to go to market time. 35 00:02:02,750 --> 00:02:05,160 So now where is my time line indicator. 36 00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:06,630 It's the beginning here. 37 00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:13,880 If I click go to market time because I right click on this smarter then the time line indicator will 38 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,740 come over here. 39 00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:21,700 Now this is wonderful because if you are like this OK and it's over here and you want your timeline 40 00:02:21,740 --> 00:02:27,100 indicator to come over here all you have to do is to right click and say go to market time. 41 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:28,000 And here you are. 42 00:02:28,310 --> 00:02:30,380 Now this is the way to navigate. 43 00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:37,180 Also you can use shift and it just snap on the markers as usual shift will snap you know on everything. 44 00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:42,500 Then you can right click on the market and say Of course they did this market bring another one here. 45 00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:43,980 I like them one two three four. 46 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:46,730 Then also I have it all Malkin's. 47 00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:47,540 I'm not going to do. 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,690 But the nicest thing here is settings that click on setting I can either right click and click on something 49 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,910 or double click on the marker and the settings will open. 50 00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,590 So in this setting I have the time it means. 51 00:03:00,590 --> 00:03:02,300 Where is this marker. 52 00:03:02,510 --> 00:03:04,310 And I have the duration of the marker. 53 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,760 So a marker doesn't have to be on a single frame. 54 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,860 It can be on several frames. 55 00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:18,970 It means that you can say time is start at 1 that's 1 second and extends for two frames then you can 56 00:03:18,970 --> 00:03:22,200 come and say I want to change the comments here is it. 57 00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:27,920 This is Markle three and three text here for example. 58 00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:28,640 OK. 59 00:03:28,970 --> 00:03:32,500 And you have your Shapter and web links. 60 00:03:32,510 --> 00:03:34,000 I'm not going to go through that now. 61 00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:35,830 It's pretty easy. 62 00:03:35,950 --> 00:03:38,290 Yes and if you want to click OK. 63 00:03:38,290 --> 00:03:44,690 You're not just now I have a label for the marker and the market now that is a very small line. 64 00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:53,270 I tried to zoom in that is only two frames long but I can click again and change the text of course 65 00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:54,790 you know text here. 66 00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:56,150 Delete this one. 67 00:03:56,180 --> 00:03:57,370 Change the timing here. 68 00:03:57,380 --> 00:04:00,260 I will put it back to zero and say OK. 69 00:04:00,260 --> 00:04:06,680 So when I got put at time here the duration it's only a single frame for the duration. 70 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,890 Then it will be many frames like you can see here. 71 00:04:10,010 --> 00:04:12,530 There is this tiny line under the text here. 72 00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:20,750 Double click and remove it back to zero I just want to show you several times then I can move and press 73 00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:21,280 shift. 74 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:27,560 And so if you select a layer here you can drag this one and it doesn't come on the layer it still comes 75 00:04:27,650 --> 00:04:34,430 you know on the composition markers or the work area but by the market here you have the choice of pressing 76 00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:41,750 the start button or the multiplication button in the numeric but not in the above the 8 in the normal 77 00:04:41,750 --> 00:04:42,360 part. 78 00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:45,580 And if you don't have any mark but then you are in trouble. 79 00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:51,170 That's how after effect that at least as much as I know if you're pressed Are you not that your market 80 00:04:51,170 --> 00:04:54,500 comes here and you can move and press start again. 81 00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:59,170 You can choose another player and put in market here using stock. 82 00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:01,810 Now there is go way I will delete all markers. 83 00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:06,330 So that's a good example deleting all the markers now not this will happen. 84 00:05:06,450 --> 00:05:12,690 When I clicked on the market in the composition markers in the work area I deleted all the markers in 85 00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:18,720 the work work area I can come over here and say delete all markers it will delete the markers only on 86 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,340 this layer all the markers underlayer. 87 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,310 And this one I can say ok delete this market is fine. 88 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:33,210 There is another way to put markers is to press shift 1 and you put on the composition or the work area. 89 00:05:33,210 --> 00:05:36,160 The second was remarket market number one. 90 00:05:36,330 --> 00:05:42,900 If you move on and press shift 2 you will put a marker number to move on you can move backwards so press 91 00:05:42,930 --> 00:05:46,010 shift 3 and you put marker 3. 92 00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:49,200 So this is another way to put composition markers. 93 00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:55,890 I do not know of any other way to put alays markers except the star and that's all I use. 94 00:05:55,890 --> 00:06:03,980 I make sure I have a numeric keypad that you know is connected to my computer so I can use this Istar 95 00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:06,000 is very important that the star works. 96 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,400 And also when you play games it's very good to have the numerical But you know by the way. 97 00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:12,860 OK so now add the civil matters here. 98 00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:16,640 So also what you can do is come to a market here. 99 00:06:16,650 --> 00:06:23,070 For example let's delete all other markers or delete all markers put in marker and decide double doubleclick 100 00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:28,960 on it and you don't want this market at 18 frames what you wanted is 50 frames for example. 101 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:35,430 Press enter and here you are your timeline indicator did not move slowly to get very confused and 50 102 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:37,250 frames is 2 seconds. 103 00:06:37,260 --> 00:06:44,580 So when you change the market time be careful your time line indicator will not jump to this marker 104 00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:45,130 time. 105 00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:46,600 OK. 106 00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:47,090 OK. 107 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,110 It's just a marker that moved. 108 00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:53,940 I hope this was cleared for you then I can of course click on the marker and say OK. 109 00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:54,880 Marker 1. 110 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,490 No. 111 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,560 I mean Les or Mark or something like this. 112 00:06:58,570 --> 00:07:00,460 OK we got it now. 113 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,380 This is how to manipulate markers. 114 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,970 And this is how to delete all the markers and work with them is pretty easy is pretty simple. 115 00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:12,370 But I would like you to start using it because how do you use it. 116 00:07:12,450 --> 00:07:18,060 You mark for example is very useful when you're doing kinetic that biography you mark where the players 117 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:23,920 want to start your keyframes want to start or some kind of action that is starting. 118 00:07:23,930 --> 00:07:30,230 And then use that markedly jump to this market to put the keyframe to trim the player or to start a 119 00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:31,730 certain effect if you like. 120 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:39,270 But what is most important is first of all you can leave documentation for other people after the last 121 00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:44,610 one or in just the people who are taking care of your project for example. 122 00:07:44,670 --> 00:07:48,230 So I tell you I put this markers a lot in my big projects. 123 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:50,130 The important one of course. 124 00:07:50,190 --> 00:07:50,520 Why. 125 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:56,010 Because now I remember everything for the next one week I will remember this project but after two months 126 00:07:56,430 --> 00:08:03,120 if I am told to change that project or to add to this project I really cannot remember what this keyframe 127 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,050 for and why I put it there. 128 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,740 And the tendency is to press the delete button and start over again. 129 00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:10,770 But this business was after effect. 130 00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:13,700 Doing that will mean a lot of loss of time. 131 00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:16,120 Which means also lots of loss of money. 132 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,480 So please try to start using the markets put some you know get the habit in the next lecture We're being 133 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,300 in the industry. 134 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,520 Look at Sarum and Marcuse certain words within the song. 135 00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:27,230 I see them.
