OK guys you and I let's create a full project Let's go search for a vector that we like and let's try
to animate it so we open it in Illustrator and then we organize our layers and we organize our groups
and then take it to animate.
So I went to philippic dot com my favorite site and here I search for easy work and I found this a very
nice one actually I'm using this one in one of my promo video.
Of course now you want to click download and it will be a zip file that you want to unzip after you
unzip big-O to Illustrator want to look at our file and you go to File Open and in others here after
unzipping it you have several fires.
One of them is the illustrator file and the other one is postscript.
I recommend that you do not open and start working with the postscript because if you do then you will
have some kind of strange background layers in after effects.
Always try to get an ad in the state.
So I will open this file.
Now that we are here is asking for the font or the font I'm going to replace this font in after effects.
That's the way I do it.
So I would say close and I can see easy here has the wrong font.
I will leave it the way it is good.
I'm going to deal very simply with this file like if I don't know very well illustrator I'm just starting
illustrator just to get my graphics into aftereffects.
But first of all you need to look at it and decide what you want to animate where I think animating
the head will be interesting animating the hand like the thumbs are going up here will be interesting
animating these two circles the one behind and the one in front.
It will be very nice with the scale with a pump.
So lets see how we are going to isolate them and create a layer from everything we want to animate.
Maybe you will go for the feed or something like this.
The first thing we want to not is what we don't need we don't need the background here we are not going
to take this back it is us.
So the simple thing here if you put it off make sure that it yes.
Deleted as simple as this.
OK.
We don't need the background.
Let's throw down the graphic designer of these objects.
Could we turn it down and you can see so many groups and objects.
But actually it's very interesting if you're not is the first group here if I put the on and off that's
the desk that's David there we don't want to animate the desk.
The second one you group if you put the on and off is the whole guy.
Well this is where we want to animate.
Now the group under the main group is the head I guess it looks like the head oh yeah it's the head.
So I immediately don't wait guys I roll it up make sure the turtle on the head here and you go to the
menu and you say collect in a new layer find it when jumped up there.
That's very nice.
Now let's go down here.
There's something here that looks like the whole body.
Oh wow.
That's very nice thank you.
It's a graphic designer.
So if we take this as one piece we could animated in After Effects using pins that will be interesting.
So let's take this group and selected to make sure then we go to the menu and we make it collect in
a new layer and fell above.
That's pretty good.
Fight.
Well yes we have we have the chair here it seems to me.
But the chair also has the legs and inside the legs here.
OK.
You notice that you have the front leg and the back leg.
OK.
Let's put them all on this side.
This is the back and this one is the front that's interesting.
We still like this one.
And this I guess is the front also.
So we have this one and this one there at the front.
So let's check make sure.
Is that right.
Yes.
Select both of them go to the menu and go to collect in a new lead.
Let's see if we have done a good job.
OK.
We have the upper one and the lower one here.
There are now about.
Ok it worked.
Look at the laser fine.
It's there for now.
Let's do the same for these two.
You said both of them come to the menu collecting a new layer and maybe we take them.
OK.
Well striated here we are.
If you put them on or off fine.
Do we need the rest.
Actually we need this path over here.
But on and off and see.
Yes we need this one the selected go to collect in the new layer.
Yeah but this one should be down.
We need the bigger part here or the bigger circle.
I think it's this one.
So let's take this one and collected in the lab now something wrong happened because it's no more clipping.
You know it's like the trimming or cropping but it's ok.
Look at the design by the desk is not bad at all.
Now what are we left with.
We left with this group here that's not bad but we can make it a layer by itself.
OK.
We go to collect a new layer.
Here we are.
You have all of them.
So now we have them inside the object.
Let's take them and put them outside.
And you want to take the two at the bottom and then this object here.
I don't think we need that anymore.
OK we just delete it.
Fine.
So now you have organized it very nicely.
We don't stop here remember guys we say had we named them buddy and front or back leg.
I don't remember front leg and then back leg.
And then you have here as we call this desk your my right here is the desk.
Yes.
And the chair.
And then we have here the small circle and then we have the big circle isn't fine.
So we have arranged very nice with him.
We are ready to take two aftereffects that is that we didn't work with the text here but it doesn't
matter.
Let's go now file save us and we call it a thumbs up.
This is our new find sums up and illustrator option will come in just click OK.
Is that.
Thank you very much for listening.
We have organized our graphic but it is nice let's give it nice names and in the next lecture we start
to bring it in after effects and see how to animate.
