1 00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:07,680 Start our first project guys are going to create this animation and we're going to use the three steps 2 00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:10,680 design and sequence. 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,430 Let's take a new project. 4 00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:17,790 So we go to new composition here and it's called my company. 5 00:00:17,790 --> 00:00:25,530 I want to use 12 80 by 720 and frame rate 30 and five seconds is large enough for this project. 6 00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:29,490 We click OK to create the composition good. 7 00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:32,360 Then you need to import the image to import. 8 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:39,330 You know very well by now you are right click the import file and you navigate to where you have downloaded 9 00:00:39,330 --> 00:00:43,330 the files or the videos and the image and you can select the image. 10 00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:47,420 Would be very nice if you select your own image and change the word. 11 00:00:47,490 --> 00:00:51,540 While I'm working so you can create something that is valuable for you. 12 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,110 I make sure I don't create a composition here because the image size is a bit odd. 13 00:00:56,190 --> 00:00:58,930 I will use the composition that hour to decode yet. 14 00:00:58,950 --> 00:01:01,210 So our click Import here. 15 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:06,850 Now you want to drop the image inside the timeline so you can start working. 16 00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:13,010 You can click on it and drag it and drop it over here if you like or just drop it in the time line down. 17 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:14,220 I will do that. 18 00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:21,120 I dropped it in the time that now I zoom out using the mouse scroll you not as the image is huge compared 19 00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:24,020 to the composition 12 by 720. 20 00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:31,020 So I need to resize the image one way to do it is just to come and do this and then you are in trouble 21 00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:33,850 because the image is distorted. 22 00:01:33,870 --> 00:01:39,660 The best way to do it in After Effects I will show you the long way is to select an image or select 23 00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,250 a layer for example. 24 00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:49,450 Right click and go to transform and hissy fit to come up or to come up with Orphic to compact. 25 00:01:49,530 --> 00:01:53,390 To keep it on scale the best is fit to complete. 26 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,570 If you can remember the shortcut is control alt shift H. 27 00:01:57,690 --> 00:02:02,800 But I usually use a Right-Click it's a long cut Let's zoom back. 28 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,140 You remember this is your magnification value pop up. 29 00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:13,180 You fit to 100 percent to not start moving the image every time by mistake. 30 00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:15,280 It's best to lock that image. 31 00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:17,290 You have the luck just over here. 32 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,190 Lock prevents layers from being edited that is moved or even skipped. 33 00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:23,800 So I will look. 34 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,920 Now let's start adding a text. 35 00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:29,380 Click on the text tool look at the character panel. 36 00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:31,590 Everything seems fine except the font size. 37 00:02:31,590 --> 00:02:34,360 Maybe I'm using arial for the whole course. 38 00:02:34,370 --> 00:02:37,910 Please feel free to use any font you like. 39 00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:40,900 There will be no problem you will need me to. 40 00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:44,110 So you want to start adding the text some. 41 00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:45,410 It doesn't matter that way. 42 00:02:45,690 --> 00:02:47,180 And then I will start writing. 43 00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:50,080 The first is graphics design. 44 00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:51,320 The font is white. 45 00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:52,330 I can't even see it. 46 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,570 Are going to put that background. 47 00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:57,120 I need to add more text so I'll go and enter. 48 00:02:57,150 --> 00:03:04,910 I'm still in the text to click over here and write the second one which is motion graphics control. 49 00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:10,340 Enter again from the main keyboard and I can click to write the third one. 50 00:03:10,380 --> 00:03:11,930 It is web design. 51 00:03:12,330 --> 00:03:13,630 I finished adding text. 52 00:03:13,650 --> 00:03:15,690 I will go for the selection tool. 53 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:17,610 Now I need to align this text. 54 00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:21,580 Ok so they simply are just put them over here. 55 00:03:21,630 --> 00:03:25,480 That's OK but let's use the align palette. 56 00:03:25,650 --> 00:03:28,340 All these have shortcuts you'll get to know them later. 57 00:03:28,350 --> 00:03:34,590 Now I select the three layers not just how you select select from the composition preview over here. 58 00:03:34,770 --> 00:03:40,350 You select the first one you press shift so the second one you keep on shift and you select the third 59 00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:41,290 one. 60 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:47,130 If you want to select from the last year select the first one you can press shift and select the last 61 00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:47,670 one. 62 00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:51,420 Or you can select the first Chouan press control second and third. 63 00:03:51,450 --> 00:03:54,320 The way you would like but the shift only works here. 64 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,670 Control does not work. 65 00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:58,060 Notice control is not working at all. 66 00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:00,150 So I would select the three of them. 67 00:04:00,150 --> 00:04:04,320 I will align them on the left and then I want to distribute them. 68 00:04:04,570 --> 00:04:10,880 Now not just where the anchor points so they are going to be distributed according to the anchor points. 69 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:12,630 Now but that's ok. 70 00:04:12,860 --> 00:04:20,580 I think they are a bit big here so I'll go to character and take it down for example to 50 create the 71 00:04:20,580 --> 00:04:22,970 background course you're going to use a ship player. 72 00:04:23,220 --> 00:04:29,010 Now make sure you de-select everything by putting to and click and drag to create the Shepler. 73 00:04:29,070 --> 00:04:29,690 Wow. 74 00:04:29,820 --> 00:04:31,800 So we have a very odd color. 75 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:38,650 Let's check the feel first to fall 100 percent we're happy blending is normal and it's a solid color. 76 00:04:38,850 --> 00:04:42,090 Cool for now maybe I'll come back and reduce the passage. 77 00:04:42,090 --> 00:04:43,870 Let's take the Shipler now. 78 00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:48,870 Click on it and drag it to put it just above the pic so it works as a backup. 79 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,600 Let's change the color. 80 00:04:50,730 --> 00:04:52,960 Let's move it over here to see the color. 81 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,720 I will use the eyedropper now and pick a color from within the image itself. 82 00:04:58,740 --> 00:05:00,730 It will be interesting all the time. 83 00:05:00,730 --> 00:05:08,940 OK I will take this color and click OK for the color I can use the selection tool and select the letter 84 00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:12,230 and start moving the lead up and down to position it. 85 00:05:12,330 --> 00:05:13,570 The best way I want. 86 00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:18,910 But now how about getting some transparency on the background that will be interesting. 87 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,140 Let's go to the feel of the fill over here and put some transparency word and previewing cool just like 88 00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:26,170 this fact. 89 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:31,980 Now the text is quite good but you can add the drop shadow straight easy and select the layer. 90 00:05:32,190 --> 00:05:34,770 Right click on it and you have less tiles. 91 00:05:35,010 --> 00:05:39,010 Immediately I can put it dropshot. 92 00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:41,820 I don't want to go into the details of the that though. 93 00:05:41,890 --> 00:05:42,560 I like it. 94 00:05:43,630 --> 00:05:44,650 Now for the other two. 95 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,680 How about applying the drop shadow simultaneously. 96 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:55,210 Select the first one press shift and select the second one and the right click and go to start and say 97 00:05:55,330 --> 00:05:55,830 option. 98 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,040 Here you are. 99 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,860 So now we have created our design. 100 00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:01,570 That's what we like. 101 00:06:01,630 --> 00:06:08,340 Now select all the layers press control or comment on the Mac to select all the layers not this being 102 00:06:08,430 --> 00:06:14,350 all selected of course except my company because it has been looked good. 103 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,190 I will throw it up there will at this point we have completed the design. 104 00:06:20,290 --> 00:06:24,160 We want to start animating and we'll do that in the next lecture. 105 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:24,720 See you then.
