1 00:00:01,660 --> 00:00:06,730 Hi guys hope you're having a lot of fun in this cause and I hope you are learning all the techniques 2 00:00:06,730 --> 00:00:13,730 the methods and everything you want to learn about aftereffects to become the animator you want to be. 3 00:00:13,750 --> 00:00:21,130 Now also remember I'm here to guide you to become an expert animator in After Effects so please don't 4 00:00:21,130 --> 00:00:21,630 hesitate. 5 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,950 Always ask all the questions that you want and believe me I I'm here to ensure that you're getting the 6 00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:29,980 most benefit of discourse in this lecture. 7 00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:35,750 We want to explore the track mats that affects how to use them and the simple techniques. 8 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,840 That's where we develop our skills during the course. 9 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,940 And please remember fragments are very important and very much used if you want to follow along with 10 00:00:44,940 --> 00:00:45,460 me. 11 00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:49,670 Please open the project essential reveals technique from the download. 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,130 You have done and we will work together. 13 00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:59,860 You can come to the ultimate folder and open the ultimate composition which you can start working with 14 00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:00,050 me. 15 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,820 It has the text and then later on you can look at the format final. 16 00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:06,500 This is the one we are working on. 17 00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:15,400 Track mud is a method in aftereffects that will allow you to create a mat to reveal or hide a layer 18 00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:16,930 any kind of layer. 19 00:01:16,930 --> 00:01:22,000 Now this is a simplistic explanation if you like what sonor format. 20 00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:28,150 If you come to the color the color management you click on it you can see you have red green blue and 21 00:01:28,150 --> 00:01:29,920 Alpha for example. 22 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,640 Click on the red it will show you in bright white what has arrived at 100 percent almost you notice 23 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,800 that here right. 24 00:01:37,810 --> 00:01:42,130 You can read it in the info panel it is 225. 25 00:01:42,130 --> 00:01:43,760 It means there is a full right. 26 00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:47,320 If you cut the line here it says the red is 1 0 9. 27 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,990 It doesn't have much red and of course this one here has a lot of that you can change the channels and 28 00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:54,180 you can find about the green. 29 00:01:54,190 --> 00:01:55,480 Now what is green. 30 00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:57,570 Not just the aftereffects is not so green. 31 00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:02,980 Motion graphic is really not so green and you can read that from the ballot over there. 32 00:02:02,980 --> 00:02:05,450 The green is a. 33 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,250 Now also you can check the alpha alpha. 34 00:02:09,250 --> 00:02:11,450 Here is showing you what ever is in bright white. 35 00:02:11,450 --> 00:02:14,690 If you point at it you know the alpha is 255. 36 00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:17,050 Meaning is totally nontransparent. 37 00:02:17,060 --> 00:02:24,200 If you could learn the shadow that Appert that is 1:29 is a bit transparent and so on. 38 00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:32,900 So we need to create a null Matt So it has a lot of non-correspondent layers to hide or reveal the text. 39 00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:34,990 Let's go back to RGV. 40 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,120 So that is the simplistic if you like explanation about the ultimate or the math you'll see that later 41 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,770 in the course we work on the math. 42 00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:46,280 Now to work with the track mat. 43 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,660 You need to enable the expand collapse the transfer controls Pand. 44 00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:53,350 So you have to plan here. 45 00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:57,720 That is the mod will see it later and you have the track marked overhead. 46 00:02:59,660 --> 00:03:01,740 So how do you create a month. 47 00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:07,090 You not is that after effects is the first layer and it cannot have a mat. 48 00:03:07,130 --> 00:03:14,330 There is no option for the math from the second layer on that is because null for smart or mud is applied 49 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,590 directly to the layer that is above code. 50 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:25,120 No that if you can to the rectangle tool here and you make sure the fill is bright white. 51 00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:30,050 Ok that would make things easy and the file itself is at 100 percent. 52 00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:31,350 This is important. 53 00:03:31,470 --> 00:03:38,680 We click OK then you draw just a shape on top of the after effects. 54 00:03:39,090 --> 00:03:40,240 As simple as this. 55 00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:45,560 No need not just that after effects the text that you can apply the Blackmouth. 56 00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:47,600 If I click you have several options here. 57 00:03:47,590 --> 00:03:50,260 In fact you have two options with the inv.. 58 00:03:50,260 --> 00:03:53,790 There is Alfon not inverted Lamott and its Imbert. 59 00:03:53,970 --> 00:03:57,410 Let's apply Alfar might not notice what happened here. 60 00:03:58,350 --> 00:04:04,110 The text has appeared one to the sheer pleasure has been made invisible OK. 61 00:04:04,170 --> 00:04:06,890 Yet you can still click and drag it. 62 00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:11,340 OK I will undo that and a small can has appeared here. 63 00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:14,780 It means this shape player is a mutt itself. 64 00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:17,240 Let's roll it. 65 00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:25,240 Then on the after effects the lead that you applied the ultimate to you have a small I can saying it 66 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,200 means this letter has been Alfar made by the top player. 67 00:04:30,450 --> 00:04:32,060 Now what is it all about. 68 00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:35,240 Remember this is our shape player is the size of the ship. 69 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,680 Let's go to after effects. 70 00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:45,600 If you click and drag now your text that is only visible within the old format or within the Shipler 71 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,340 that is the concept or that if you put it outside it is not visible. 72 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,200 If you put it inside it is visible as simple as this. 73 00:04:55,260 --> 00:04:56,430 That's cool right. 74 00:04:56,460 --> 00:05:01,080 So now you can start working to reveal this text throughout an animation. 75 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:07,950 Also let's throw another square or rectangle on Martian graphics just like this. 76 00:05:07,950 --> 00:05:08,410 OK. 77 00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:09,840 Let's put it up a bit. 78 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,690 Let's put it just over here. 79 00:05:13,850 --> 00:05:20,320 I can always DoubleClick before I apply the math and just make sure it's OK. 80 00:05:20,430 --> 00:05:21,390 The size is good. 81 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,850 Let's take Shipler three and put it above motion graphics. 82 00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:32,720 Then we come to the motion graphics here and you apply a refinement here to the same concept applies 83 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,540 the text layer motion graphics only is visible when it is inside the mat. 84 00:05:38,690 --> 00:05:40,370 That's it as simple as this. 85 00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:48,570 This create a very simple animation and we are going to animate the myriad layers that is motion graphics 86 00:05:48,690 --> 00:05:50,800 and the after effects. 87 00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:58,200 So PSP for position I'll come after half a second let's make it half a second year that will be 15 frames 88 00:05:58,370 --> 00:05:58,890 OK. 89 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:07,950 And let's reduce the composition to 3 seconds you can right click here and say three complete work area. 90 00:06:07,950 --> 00:06:10,370 It reduces the cap to the work area. 91 00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:11,040 Here you are. 92 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,390 It became three seconds. 93 00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:14,280 Now it's easier for us to work. 94 00:06:14,310 --> 00:06:18,360 I will come for example to 15 frames like we said here you are. 95 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:24,900 And then our keyframe the position for both legs come to the beginning here select aftereffects and 96 00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:28,000 just put it just under here as simple as this. 97 00:06:28,860 --> 00:06:32,810 Then come to motion graphics here click on it and just put it on top here. 98 00:06:33,050 --> 00:06:33,630 OK. 99 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,540 So they are now invisible. 100 00:06:36,780 --> 00:06:42,990 If you animate they're going to go inside the mat and appear as simple as this. 101 00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:49,440 So this method is extremely efficient to make your text appear automake reveals. 102 00:06:49,590 --> 00:06:53,710 But yet it has other uses in after effects that we work on later on in the course. 103 00:06:54,870 --> 00:07:01,350 So actually this is how it works you create a layer on top of the layer you want to map out and then 104 00:07:01,350 --> 00:07:09,420 you apply al-Ahmad and then the ship lead that you motet here will be only visible when it is under 105 00:07:09,570 --> 00:07:11,080 the ledge above. 106 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,470 In our case we have used a rectangle. 107 00:07:13,470 --> 00:07:20,730 You can use a video you can use another text layer you can use almost anything that you can put on top 108 00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:22,760 of the layout you want to might. 109 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,560 Thank you very much for listening. 110 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,430 I hope this was very useful. 111 00:07:26,430 --> 00:07:27,780 Actually it's wonderful. 112 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:31,110 And we go on to learn more about the ultimate.
