This guys you could say it's an overview of what you have learned until now in terms of animation.
But you are going to expand your knowledge learn more about keyframes about properties and motion path.
So actually it's a collection of tips and tricks and how to work better while creating an emissions.
So it should be very nice if you could follow along with me.
So guys please launch aftereffects and follow along with me.
It's gonna be fun.
Try to do what I'm doing.
And of course if you have questions post them in the Q and A section of the course but it's going to
be very easy.
Of course after affects everything start with a composition.
So in 2018 you click on new composition.
If not you can click on the famous button here for new composition.
Now let's give it a nice name.
Let's call it first.
Mission
Now you could use any piece that you would like but I prefer to use these preset just for the cause.
The width would be 12 80 height 720 and square pixels.
But make sure that frame rate 30 is going to be important later on the duration you can make it five
seconds.
I will choose background black because is good for you to see I click OK to create the composite.
Now we learned how to create text and shapes.
Lets create some text click on the text tool and we look at the active panel decide on the font on the
size of the font for now and everything else is OK.
So I would double click on the text tool to start typing the text.
Lets write simple motion graphics since I don't want to add any text.
I will go for the selection to less align the Stex complete in the middle of the composition.
You can come to the Align to make sure you align with horizontally and vertically.
Now lets loose some shit.
Of course if you select the rectangle you have to make sure to select everything you select by pressing
F to and as a background for this simple motion graphics will click and draw a nice rectangle that will
do.
And you can now align it in the middle of the composition.
Here you are at Plessy v..
To get this election to.
Now we have a problem here.
The ship player is above the text to just this is very easy.
Just click take the Shipler under the text.
Notice the blue line here is indicating to where you are going to drop the Shipler.
I would release the mouse button you are.
And we have the text on top of the Shipler.
Let's adjust the text.
We can use the arrow keys up and down to adjust adjust in the minute we look beautiful.
Now let's start any meeting.
Select the text layer turn down the first time and turn it on again and under transform Haiti have all
the properties that you can.
An image from position to opposite.
Every time you see a stopwatch.
This is the rule.
It means you can and he made a propert Let's create an animation with the position properties.
So we move the decks that aren't to start an animation or to initiate an animation you need to create
the first frame to create the first frame.
You click on the stopwatch next to the property you want to animate.
In this case it is position nothing is what happened.
A keyframe has been created where ever the time indicator was positioned.
This is your time indicator.
It indicates the time you can see the time over here and over the so the time indicator was at 0 0 and
the keyframe was created whatever the time indicator was.
Now this keyframe means that at this time ensured that position has these coordinates as simple as this.
But at 0 0 in the beginning you don't want the text layer to be in the middle here.
You wanted me outside of the.
Lets change its position by scrubbing through the values.
So this is an easy answer.
The first one and the second one is vertical.
If you click and scrub is start going up or down.
The value increases or decreases.
If you go up here you are.
So I take it out and position it outside the composition the scum to the viewer here and press this
bar.
This is the move tool and then move it up so we can see the shape there.
So now this means at this time 0 0 position the ship had a discard in it and it's outside the competition
but yet you don't have an animation because rarely mention it through time.
So it just makes sense that you go down in time for example to one second and you change the coordinates
of the position to see what you can do.
Let's take it up here.
OK.
So a new frame has been created for you automatically.
You didn't have to do anything.
All you did is to change the value.
This works for all properties that can be animated in after effect on the left here.
You have the keyframe navigator left arrow will go backward one keyframe right arrow will go forward.
So now we have two keyframes each have a certain position if escape through.
You will notice that aftereffects has created the animation for you or it has completed the values in
between the first keyframe and the second keyframe if you want to previewer any mission you can come
to the preview panel and make sure that the settings here are exactly like I'm showing you here.
So cash before playback is unchecked.
The range is work area play from current time.
Of course you have 30 frames per second.
Make sure you don't play fullscreen and make sure that most time to preview time is checked.
You can now size it up so you can see only the spawn if you press the play stop.
It will play or an image.
Here you are.
Of course it will play from the beginning of the composition or wherever the time line indicates that
was the end and loops back Haiti or if you press two to de-select you can see it better now fantastic
You created the first mission to stop your animation.
You can click on the stop over here or you can just click on the timeline and the time indicate that
it will stop.
That's my favorite.
That's what I'm going to do all the time.
So we created the first animation and by creating two keyframes using position now less and you made
the rectangle.
So we come to rectangle.
I'm scrolling up and down with the mouse here which will transform and then.
You made the opacity.
Why not what is opacity at zero opacity it means it's totally transparent at 100 percent is 100 percent
fake or not opacity at all.
Let's image that now after one second when the next step is over here I want the opacity of the background
or the Shipler to be 100 percent.
So you need to initiate the animation for opacity by clicking on the stopwatch.
Simple a keyframe is created for you.
Let's go to the beginning now at 0 0 and change the value of opacity to create an animation we put down
to zero first the frame is zero for the next frame is 100 percent escape through and you get a feel
of the animation here.
I press F to de-select and if scraped through you can see it very nicely to play an animation.
You can press spacebar and it plays from zero to five seconds and looks back.
This is the concept of animating in aftereffect.
Let's select the text there and see exactly what is this line that has been created here.
This is called the motion path.
You cannot create a motion but the motion path is created automatically when you and he made the position.
You notice it has two big squares and some line which has dots here the squares represent the keyframes.
If you click on the top one for example it represents the Laskey frame here.
If you click on the bottom one you'll notice you highlighted it and present the first keyframe in between.
Here you have the small dots I zoomed using the scroll.
Here every dot represent a frame you're not the same if I move up the time the motion graphics the text
that is moving frame by frame.
Let's use page up and page down to move frame by frame.
Look at the frames over here and here.
Page down.
You move down in time and this is up in time frame by frame.
So this is the concept of motion path.
Just notice the existence of the motion path now.
And there will be a very special section for motion path and moving to an image called Guys congratulations.
You created your first animation and I hope you followed along with me.
If you didn't please go to have that effect and do this animation do whatever you like.
You don't play at all.
But the timeline here.
Take that next year and just move it to the outside.
Here you are.
And then after that for example three seconds.
OK.
Let's put it back over here again just like this and playing and let's play the animation see exactly
what's happening.
Goes back.
Well OK.
Play around you know create keyframes.
And if you want to delete some key players just select them with a lawsuit like this.
Place did you deleted them.
And of course we can move them around but you'll see this in details in the next lecture.
Thank you very much for listening.
I will see you in the next lecture was a more complex motion graphics.
See you then.
