I guys I hope you're learning a lot of techniques and you will remember them.
Nevertheless you can always come back to the course and check out these techniques and refresh your
memory and use them using them and doing some exercises will really help you don't have to be exercised
within the course.
Anything that you would like to try then it would cement in your memory and you will upgrade your skills.
So in this lecture you are going to expand your skills and learn about the saucepan and mainly used
to edit videos.
Let's start out create a new composition and let's call it saucepan.
So now we have it for reference when we come back to this file with compositions and we used to work
with this saucepan and make it 20 seconds and let's put the background to black.
OK I will be better.
Click OK to carry it.
So I have the saucepan over here and I have too many compositions here to close them all except the
source panel.
You will come to the saucepan and name just like this and click OK and then you can see here close other
views and close or close other views.
I would select and or all of them have been closed except the saucepan.
Let's take a footage for example pollution.
Now if you double click on the footage from the project panel not just what's going to happen.
It's going to open in the source palette.
It's called the source panel though you can see the footage here.
It means the footage you are editing is pollution in the saucepan.
So that's why sometimes you find after effects you calling it the footage punnet.
So not just now the composition palette is over here and the footage palette is over.
You say by mistake you doubleclick on a video for example or an image then it opens over here you know
you are in the footage pattern.
And this is your composition.
Of course you can come and close.
So what can you do in the saucepan that you can best place but to play your video and preview it and
not to see what you have.
We have set in Poland to current time and set outboard to current time.
If you are a user of Premier Pro you should be very familiar with this planet.
So obviously here you can come and set the footage not just the time you can click on the time here
of course is the time for the source and say for example I want to start at four seconds.
Here you are.
So the play will jump to four seconds.
You can set the import set in point in time.
There is no shortcut here.
Then you can say OK let me go to eight seconds here you are.
And click OK and then I want to set the output.
Now you have the timing here.
The point is that for the output is at 8 and the duration is four seconds plus one frame.
So now you have edited your footage.
OK.
The first thing that happens is go back to the composition.
If I click on the footage now and drag and drop it in the timeline for example at three seconds over
the nut is now the footage did not come completely.
Only the duration that you have set in the footage panel has dropped inside the composition.
So actually you have trimmed your initial footage.
You have created a clip.
Let's get it a bit more advanced.
Let's duplicate the footage.
So we have now pollution and before do so I double click on it and then here you'll notice what happened
all the time line has been opened.
So you can come over here say OK I want my first point.
One second I would said important and let's go at three seconds I will use the time here just to get
used to it.
OK it is three seconds and then said the outpoint.
So I have only two seconds here.
So now if I click on the footage ragged and drop it in the timeline for example at 10 seconds notice
what's happening.
So now I have a different clip over here.
I have this clip push is you know four seconds.
OK.
And in here I have another clip.
That is two seconds you get me what are you doing guys you're practically cutting your video in two
clips you duplicate your videos and cut them into clips.
Well think about the bad guys.
If you're working for example which is a video that is three minutes long you have taken yourself off
for a gig or something and you want to cut it in pieces in clips.
The purposes are called clips and start dropping them in the timeline and then organizing the visual
effects and whatever motion graphics you want to add.
This is a perfect method to create clips.
This tape is very important.
It's really quite professional where you can create video clips from your initial footage.
Guys now I'm going to delete this to remove them from the composition.
And let's take another video for example or perhaps OK.
Click and drag.
Put it in the composition just over here.
OK.
Let's come to six seconds here.
We can go back to your source panel and decide OK these two seconds I don't like.
I want to have only two seconds but I want to move the in an outpoint So not just in the middle here.
There is some kind of three bars.
OK.
You would see it if you it with me.
And then you click and drag it.
OK.
So actually that's the footage I want to insert but now you have two options here to insert your footage.
One is a ripple insert it and one is overly added.
Now the time indicator is at six seconds could use overly edit it just create a new lead and add your
footage here.
And of course it has jumped to the composition panel where you can start working.
So the overlay edit is very easy.
Now something very important.
When I drop the footage inside the composition is no more footage.
I cannot read it from here in the footage.
Just to bring it to your attention now we'll do it in the next lecture.
If I would DoubleClick I will be in the palace.
OK guys.
So be careful if you want to edit the footage you always come from the project pan Let's undo and see
exactly what the ripple insert it does the ripple insert.
It is very common in video editing.
What does it do.
First of all it will insert your footage in the panel.
The point will come in the time indicator and all the voltage on the right will be moved to the outpoint
of the footage.
OK guys let me show you an example.
If you click here not just what happens first your footage has been inserted.
And of course it's a new layer then it has got the below layers.
OK.
Where everything before the import of your footage.
The man on the left and everything that was on the time indicator is now at the outpoint of your new
footage.
You see they start from over here.
So actually it has inserted old footage and moved everything to the right starting from the point of
your footage.
So this is the use of the source panel is to edit your footage put an in and out point and decide if
you want to do a ripple insert edits or an overlay.
It's not complicated at all.
Mean if you're used to video editing but in After Effects it looks weird because of the number of layers
that are created here and how the layers are split OK.
That's all about the source panel.
The ripple inserted.
And the overlay added and I hope you get along.
Video that you have shot yourself and try to create clips by duplicating and setting them in an outpoint
for every clip.
Thank you very much for listening.
I will see you in the next lecture.
