1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:08,680 Guys in this lecture we are going to create a motion graphics template for these simple lower third 2 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,430 here. 3 00:00:09,580 --> 00:00:13,990 It is simple and easy so we can make our explosion simple and easy. 4 00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:16,900 Also the colors are a bit odd. 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,140 So you can change them to what you want. 6 00:00:19,180 --> 00:00:26,800 Using the template itself what's a motion graphics template before we start a motion graphics template 7 00:00:26,890 --> 00:00:35,290 according to other and according to aftereffects is in animation where you keep the animation but you 8 00:00:35,290 --> 00:00:43,060 can change certain properties such as the content of the text the color of the feel the stroke width 9 00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:46,600 and color and even the opacity if you'd like to. 10 00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:50,770 You could come to the window here and open essential graphics. 11 00:00:50,770 --> 00:00:52,000 That's one way to do it. 12 00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:58,870 But my favorite way is to come to the composition inside the project panel right click and say open 13 00:00:58,910 --> 00:01:04,380 essential graphics on the essential graphics should open over here or somewhere else. 14 00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:11,440 If you change it and you are now ready to start adding certain properties that will form the template 15 00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:16,950 and later on you can export them to other programs where you will change these properties. 16 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,460 Now you notice here in the essential graphics there is the name. 17 00:01:20,470 --> 00:01:26,200 This will be the name of the motion graphics template and it will be used to write your template on 18 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,270 your storage media or your hard disk. 19 00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:33,140 So you usually give it a good name don't give it a CD right here. 20 00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:35,880 Lower Third from a e. 21 00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:40,970 Not very descriptive about the lower third but it will help us when we go to premiere. 22 00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:41,970 None of it is here. 23 00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:46,110 That is the master because I right click on the lower third. 24 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,490 It has opened the master over here. 25 00:01:48,730 --> 00:01:54,310 The master is the composition for which you are creating the template if I click. 26 00:01:54,370 --> 00:01:56,310 I could have chosen news. 27 00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:01,390 Now we can create a template for a lower third and another one for the news composition. 28 00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:03,000 Now what are the properties. 29 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,960 I can drop here to create my motion graphics template you have here solo supported properties. 30 00:02:09,010 --> 00:02:10,130 Very useful. 31 00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:14,440 But if I click here I will be swallowing whatever is inside news. 32 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,020 So make sure you choose your right composition. 33 00:02:17,020 --> 00:02:17,860 Here you are. 34 00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:19,710 So we are choosing lower third. 35 00:02:19,810 --> 00:02:26,920 And then we click on solo supported properties and you notice how many properties you can just click 36 00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,290 and drag and drop them inside your template. 37 00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:32,350 There are not very many by the way. 38 00:02:32,590 --> 00:02:37,600 If you look at them you have the roundness of a shape and you don't have the size and sort of the shape 39 00:02:38,290 --> 00:02:45,340 you have the stroke the feel the transform rectangle one you have skew and opacity and you have transform 40 00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:48,710 only opacity over here from the layer. 41 00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:56,430 You cannot use scale rotation and position in the text you not only have the source text and were already 42 00:02:56,430 --> 00:03:00,330 animated the opacity so we only have the source text. 43 00:03:00,350 --> 00:03:02,730 Let's drill down and start dropping. 44 00:03:02,730 --> 00:03:07,310 Now I will take the source text which we know is the content of the text. 45 00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:11,250 We click and drag and drop it inside the panel itself. 46 00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:16,800 It creates here the name of the property and its content for text of course. 47 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,710 So you don't want to call it source text when you are giving this to somebody normal meaning it doesn't 48 00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:24,360 work on after effects. 49 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,310 You might want to put for example input text. 50 00:03:30,490 --> 00:03:33,250 Now the last minute news here we cannot change it. 51 00:03:33,250 --> 00:03:34,460 This is the content. 52 00:03:34,540 --> 00:03:37,300 If I change it over here it's going to change over here. 53 00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:41,620 I was show this little fact now from the bars here. 54 00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:42,820 We have several options. 55 00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:48,720 Let's roll Landesman up to see more we can take for example the roundness but we don't need it. 56 00:03:48,730 --> 00:03:49,690 Our guest now. 57 00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:51,370 You can take the stroke color. 58 00:03:51,550 --> 00:03:55,440 Well that will be interesting if I click on color and wrap it up. 59 00:03:55,450 --> 00:03:59,610 It says only color and I have no clue what color is it for. 60 00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:01,620 Is it for the stroke or whatever. 61 00:04:01,690 --> 00:04:07,570 So maybe we give it a good name called stroke color that will make more sense. 62 00:04:07,570 --> 00:04:08,280 Right. 63 00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:15,430 You can also choose the opacity of the stroke which is not necessary or the stroke width because we 64 00:04:15,430 --> 00:04:16,490 can put it at zero. 65 00:04:16,630 --> 00:04:21,950 So let's take stroke with it and drop it in and it's written nicely stroke meets. 66 00:04:22,030 --> 00:04:29,560 Now let's go to Phil if you would like you can use the color of the fill and the opacity are pretty 67 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,370 nice. 68 00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:32,280 Now it's getting mixed up a bit. 69 00:04:32,290 --> 00:04:35,210 It's better to add a comment to separate them. 70 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,800 We are going to add some properties for the lower but not the same color is not very descriptive. 71 00:04:41,950 --> 00:04:49,780 Maybe we add in the beginning background color then we add a command to separate say here top bar and 72 00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:51,530 we put a certain comment here. 73 00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:56,940 Change Carlos for example you can make it more descriptive later. 74 00:04:57,030 --> 00:05:02,940 Then I would click on the top button and just drag it under the text so I know now all these are for 75 00:05:02,940 --> 00:05:11,050 the tab but if I create another comment I would say lower bar and then over here I would say change 76 00:05:12,260 --> 00:05:17,110 colors and of course I did two spelling mistakes. 77 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:17,770 This is me. 78 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,880 I always do that. 79 00:05:19,090 --> 00:05:24,390 And then I come over here and she's just one just to make it nice for you guys but not in the lower 80 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:25,150 back here. 81 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:29,030 Let's go to the lower bar and decide first of all we need the color. 82 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,760 Just take it and drop it. 83 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,620 This is of course the color of the field. 84 00:05:32,890 --> 00:05:35,610 Maybe we drop the opacity also. 85 00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:39,040 Now we don't have much space so let's take this one down. 86 00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:42,880 And I guess for our example it's very OK. 87 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,900 So I will take the command and just drop it on top. 88 00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:52,990 So we created the template now and we can start playing with these values if we are in aftereffect or 89 00:05:52,990 --> 00:05:56,680 in Premiere Pro in the next lecture we see how to play with the values. 90 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,950 I'm sure you already playing with them. 91 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,040 Thank you for listening. 92 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,460 I'll see you in the next lecture.
