Guys and welcome to the repeater the repeater is a very interesting property in aftereffect.
It works on your own shapes and unfortunately you can't use it on textiles.
That's exactly how the repeater works.
I will draw a simple rectangle to make sure the busy is off.
We need to animate it just over here.
Now you're not is the anchor point is 2018 has dumped in the middle of the day but to work properly
with the repeater I would like you to come to the transport angle one and set the position to 0 0.
OK.
Which means that the shape is in the middle of its own layer lower than you want to move the anchor
point of the lever to the middle of the ship that will be for convenience.
You can use the shortcut control alt one or command Altona on the Mac or you can just come to the pan
behind tool and drag it over here.
So now you have the anchor point zero zero and the position zero zero.
This is the best way to start working with the repeater.
Let's play it.
Peter I will apply the repeated arm the contents not inside the ship group itself.
Come to our aid and go to a repeater.
Here it is OK let's right now repeater.
And we notice that by default we have three copies.
It has created three copies of the only original shape including the original one.
You can add the number of copies for example 6.
You can make them six whatever you like.
You can offset them for example if you set minus two.
It means that the original copy will be offset by two.
It's the third position now and you have to copies it before it if you say man and three of course is
going to be number four and it has three copies before it.
If you put two is going to skip to start giving you or showing you the first copy.
Ok let's face it sometimes it's useful to use the offset you not is here we have the first copy and
the second copy is at 100 boxes.
How's that.
If you come to the default here you are not in that position has been set to 100.
It means repeat this ship every 100 boxes from the previous one.
The first one appears at the original position.
Second one will appear at 100 boxes from the previous one and the third one also will appear at that
100 pixel from the previous one.
So this concept you can see better with the scale.
For example if I give the scale at 120 percent.
So the first copy is at 100 percent of the scale.
The second one is that one had the 20 percent or 20 percent increment from the previous one.
The third one is 120 percent of the previous one and so on.
So you have an increment in the scale and on if you want to witness the rotation.
Let's take this Shepler's just over here and let's give the rotation 45 degrees.
Just for example.
What is that.
The second one is at 45 degrees from the previous one and the third one at 45 degrees from its previous
one so it's at 90 degrees from the origin.
And so on.
You start rotating 45 degrees from the previous one.
For example you give it an not do unless it 30 percent.
You notice how the increments now is 30 percent.
Now let's do this and you have the start opacity and the end opposite the way it works is you start
with the start opacity and you and with the end opacity meaning whatever value you give to the start
opacity it works its way through the number of copies to reach the end opacity which is at 100 percent.
If I put it for example at it you notice here you have almost 100 percent opacity and it's dividing
the opacity from one to the other to get to 100 percent.
Of course it can work the other way.
So you start with 100 percent opacity and ends with zero percent opacity.
It's pretty cool to see that it.
So now the concept is like this.
You either repeated you set the number of copies and then you decide how it's going to be repeated.
You can use position scale wherever you like good guys in the next lecture will start doing some applications
about the repeater and see you then.
