Hi guys and welcome to the path and this lecture to you learn about the path property.
It's very interesting and I hope you might think you had some fantastic animations that will use a bent
to shape our clique and just create a simple shape just like this.
OK.
So it's practically a lie.
Now you can add these start property from the ad over here if you like.
You can see you have the theme path or you can come inside the layer in content and go to it and you
can see that sympathy.
So these two buttons over here and over here are the same but this is to say it's a shortcut.
I will introduce the path on the left.
The path property has inside three properties the start the and the offset.
And it has a choice of simultaneous or individually.
Let's see what the Start does.
Remember I started to draw the path from the left side over here and this is the end of the path.
If you scrub the start it will wipe out the path.
It says not this.
So from 0 percent to 100 percent it starts from the left side or the beginning of the path the and wiping
it out put it back to 0 percent.
The end here will wipe out the path from the end or the end of the pass or here on the right side till
the beginning of the path.
So the left or right depends how you started it took the path.
So you can create some simple animations here.
Keyframe for example the end and put it at zero.
So I wanted to type in from the left to the right.
OK I'll come to 20 frames.
I put it at 100 percent easy and simple.
Here you are.
You create a wipe.
If you want to use for example at the start I will go to the next keyframe and remove the keyframes
here.
And also you wanted to wipe in but this time from the right to the left.
So obviously you put 100 percent keyframe in it and after 20 frames for example just over here you'll
put it at 0 percent and you have a very simple animation.
So this is the concept.
Now the concept of the offset the offset here will work on the difference between the start and the
end.
Let's put the start at zero.
Remove the keyframes.
Let's take the end.
For example just over here at 10 percent.
So now what happening at the start is at 0 percent is here and the end is at 10 percent so that's taken
out from the 100 percent all the way to 10 percent.
If it's cut through the offset it will animate this small piece as simple as this.
And it's circular.
So it's pretty cool here.
Of course you cannot have 10 pieces.
This is not the dashes.
So it's pretty good to create a certain animation with the offset that would see that.
In concept the offset will made the difference between start and the end.
If it's negative it's this positive zero minus 10 percent is minus 10 percent so it's 10 percent and
it will play on this difference.
Let's do this.
In fact let's do it this year and let's get it.
You don't use for an initial click over here and yet just a simple line.
OK this is your simple line.
Let's say you have a title over here and you want the line to open on both sides.
You want to open to the left and to the right.
Let's add now a trim pot.
Here you are.
And then I will come to the path itself.
Come to timeframes not at the beginning.
And let's make this start for example 50 percent.
OK.
So it has wiped out from the beginning.
The 50 percent you.
Let's make the end also at 50 percent.
This keyframe both of them and then come after 20 frames for example take back the start of a value
which is zero.
And the end to for example 100 percent.
So now we have a very cool animation where the line will open on both sides.
Of course you will want to make it speedier.
And of course you want to select both keyframes.
Give it an easy is.
So you have something you know quite cool something like this if you say I would use the selection tool
here and let's do something like this so we play with the graph.
Let's take this to keyframes and move them on this side pressing shift.
They stay here.
So not just the animation quite cool how it's happening.
So this is some tips about using the path.
Let's explore it a bit now these simultaneously option you have simultaneously or individually that
path has been created inside the group of ships shape one so you have both one if you come to path one
and to the path.
But I Squirtle the Kamandi on the Mac.
You can duplicate it and you will have a path to select both to and use the shift arrow down to move
it.
OK this is easier then grabbing it from over here.
Let's put that to individually and notice how the animation is happening if you play it.
And that is how they are opening both from different sides.
So actually is not repeating the same animation of start and end you know for each shape itself but
it's spitting it in half the stuff is going from 50 percent to zero percent.
Here you are.
The End or so at the same time is going from 50 percent to 100 percent.
You know this this is is for after effects good.
If you are another shape for example a place the by three and let's move it.
Shift down if you are.
And there's a plate not just now how the start and end are divided and that is the middle layer is coming
very fast.
And then you have both the top and bottom layer are coming you know to get.
So actually it's splitting this start and adds value.
So it can create any munition that is individually unique to come here and practice and see exactly
how it works.
You know the concept is very easy.
It splits the swine but of course if you try to you know figure it out all the numbers how it's working
it's going to be a bit difficult at this point that you get used to it.
And in some shapes not lines it will be so evident and you will understand how it's working for individually
or Somerton's.
Thank you very much for listening for this lecture in the next lecture.
We'll explore different kinds of animations that you can do with that path.
See you then.
