00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,820
Hi guys and we continue ships and now we are going to tackle the shape groups.

2
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:13,740
Now this is pretty important for doing great animation and for your understanding of how shiploads are

3
00:00:13,750 --> 00:00:15,900
constructed in aftereffects.

4
00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:21,490
Please feel free to ask all the questions you want in the Q Any section of the course because it's important

5
00:00:21,490 --> 00:00:23,900
that you master the subject.

6
00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:32,160
So let's start with a new blank composition called ship groups and it's open remember what I was trying

7
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:34,550
to communicate here inside.

8
00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:36,470
You have shaped groups.

9
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:43,610
This is a ship group a swan and the site for this run we have only a single ship which is in its path.

10
00:00:43,650 --> 00:00:46,770
Inside there is boss you have size and position.

11
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:49,680
These are the properties of this shape.

12
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:54,270
Alex let's try to replicate this from a blank.

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,900
We are going to take a completely blank ship there and start to get a blank ship.

14
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:07,490
You need to create a new Shepler that is you can right click inside your timeline and say new.

15
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:14,590
And then here you have Shipler or so you can go to layer and you have new and you go for new shape.

16
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,660
It doesn't have a shortcut.

17
00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:18,580
I would go for this for now.

18
00:01:18,590 --> 00:01:21,300
And that's what happened only the anchor point has appeared.

19
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:28,610
If you draw a line here you have contents but it's empty and you have the transform for the layer inconstancies.

20
00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:34,880
We want to start filling it next to content on the right you have the Add button if you click on Add

21
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,690
you'll notice that you have very many properties that you cannot.

22
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:46,960
The first one is a group and is going to create that into an the second category are the shapes and

23
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,850
then you how about colors feel a stroke a grid you feel.

24
00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:58,180
And here you have other properties that will help you create or an your shape group.

25
00:01:58,230 --> 00:02:00,180
Let's create an empty ship group.

26
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:01,800
Here you are.

27
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:04,200
So the ship group here is empty.

28
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,110
And you know it's a group because it has its own transfer mission.

29
00:02:07,470 --> 00:02:12,490
Let's rename this group we don't have to call it one press enter and let's call it head.

30
00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:13,460
OK.

31
00:02:13,470 --> 00:02:19,580
You will know why I'm calling it that because of what I'm going to create Sedlak the head itself on

32
00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:26,480
select constants select the head itself because you want to start adding ships in this ship group you

33
00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:31,580
click on the small role here and list any tips not this.

34
00:02:31,620 --> 00:02:33,370
The elipse have been created here.

35
00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:37,270
If you trade it down it has only its properties size and position.

36
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,680
Well you can make the size bigger and you can position it the way you want.

37
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:50,280
In my section here I have the ship to a place to get the selection tool and not as you have the anchor

38
00:02:50,290 --> 00:02:54,530
point this is not the end point of the elites.

39
00:02:54,620 --> 00:02:57,510
This is the anchor point of the head itself.

40
00:02:57,950 --> 00:03:04,850
You can now position the ellipse according to the anchor point of that mainly you will take it up if

41
00:03:04,850 --> 00:03:07,650
you have a head of course you don't turn around the neck.

42
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:14,840
So it's interesting to position the shape with the anchor point of the group just on the center bottom.

43
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,250
Now if you can look out you notice nothing is visible because you don't have a field and you don't have

44
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:20,050
a stroke.

45
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,200
That's how the feel.

46
00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:27,470
I'll click on the head you choose the shape group and then you click on the arrow and you add a fifth

47
00:03:28,970 --> 00:03:31,040
by for the feel is always red.

48
00:03:31,930 --> 00:03:35,900
You cannot turn down the feel and see the properties that have been added.

49
00:03:36,020 --> 00:03:37,560
That is something important.

50
00:03:37,630 --> 00:03:42,640
The field has been added under the head at the same level of the ellipse one.

51
00:03:42,670 --> 00:03:46,320
You cannot add a feel for a single shape here.

52
00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:52,120
You can add the field only to a group that's change the color and get something very nice.

53
00:03:52,130 --> 00:03:54,720
For example we go down like this.

54
00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:58,330
Now we have a feel for our eldest one.

55
00:03:58,390 --> 00:04:01,410
So this fill is affecting what Ivan is about it.

56
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,850
Let's add a stroke.

57
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:05,650
Let's go to the art and add a stroke.

58
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,510
Find me either the stroke and it's only two thirds of the stroke here.

59
00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:14,210
And you see the stroke with it can make it bigger.

60
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:18,340
Now I want to draw your attention to something important that you are going to use.

61
00:04:18,470 --> 00:04:23,210
I notice the stroke is over the feel and you notice how the stroke being 32.

62
00:04:23,220 --> 00:04:25,730
Let's make it 50 for example.

63
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:31,100
You're not is that half of it is inside the control of the shape and half of it is outside.

64
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:34,920
You can choose that you can take the field and put it over stroke.

65
00:04:34,930 --> 00:04:39,330
This is what we call fear of a stroke or stroke overfit get it back.

66
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:44,440
Then of course we're seeing it now let's add more.

67
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:48,060
Let's go to the head now and add another ellipse for example.

68
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:53,440
This is our ellipse here straight down the ellipse and let's make it a bit smaller.

69
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:53,920
OK.

70
00:04:53,930 --> 00:04:56,610
Now we can position it was in the group.

71
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:57,850
Let's move over here.

72
00:04:58,050 --> 00:04:59,280
Let's move it up.

73
00:04:59,420 --> 00:05:00,280
Here you are.

74
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,210
It's a of course you can start duplicating these.

75
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,380
You select the ellipse to pest control the Kamandi on the map.

76
00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:11,150
Now you have flipped three.

77
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:13,770
Another is how it duplicated under above.

78
00:05:13,850 --> 00:05:15,900
Right on the left is always the beginning.

79
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,640
Above here it's under.

80
00:05:17,660 --> 00:05:19,370
Which is more practical.

81
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,560
You turn it down here and that is the position that's shifted to the right.

82
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,440
Here you are.

83
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:28,110
OK we try to make it a semantic as possible.

84
00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:31,830
I don't out what is the effect of the fit over the stroke.

85
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:33,290
The stroke is always behind.

86
00:05:33,550 --> 00:05:36,140
If for example I take the stroke and put over the field.

87
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:38,250
Look what's happening now look what you see.

88
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,450
Five more no less select.

89
00:05:43,450 --> 00:05:49,120
Also the group itself we don't want to add outside the group and let's add up for example a small rectangle

90
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:49,730
over here.

91
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:53,310
Now let's make it smaller rectangle.

92
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,390
I will make it smaller from here.

93
00:05:55,490 --> 00:05:57,640
OK that's small enough.

94
00:05:57,830 --> 00:06:06,650
Then I'm going to move the chain link here and make it tiny on the vertical up so is that rectangle

95
00:06:06,980 --> 00:06:08,720
is under all these.

96
00:06:08,810 --> 00:06:11,040
If I position it the way I'd like.

97
00:06:11,060 --> 00:06:15,450
So I want to take it on the raft here and then take it up.

98
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:17,230
You are positioned over here.

99
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:20,480
So actually the rectangle is under all this.

100
00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:23,590
Click on it and drop it on top.

101
00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:24,030
Here you are.

102
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:27,350
You notice how I'm changing the old click and block.

103
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:29,030
Now I have another problem here.

104
00:06:29,030 --> 00:06:33,400
The fill of the rectangle one is still the same field.

105
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,910
Let's add another field.

106
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,440
Of course the default is red.

107
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:42,860
You notice that the field here has affected everything above it.

108
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,440
And the rule here is below previous in same group meaning below the previews feel so you take everything

109
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,050
that's below the previous field in the same group.

110
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,960
There is no previous field so there is nothing below that link on it and drag it and put it under a

111
00:06:57,970 --> 00:07:05,230
rectangle one if you are not this how it became already meaning everything that is above the door is

112
00:07:05,230 --> 00:07:05,960
affected.

113
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:07,720
Phil 1 Here it is.

114
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:11,530
It's composite was below previous fill two in the same group.

115
00:07:11,530 --> 00:07:14,540
It will affect path one path to three.

116
00:07:14,890 --> 00:07:16,540
Let's go back to our rectangle here.

117
00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:19,100
And let's increase that outness for example.

118
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:23,710
This is called Stick a rectangle want and duplicate it guys.

119
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,650
So we have a technical path too.

120
00:07:25,810 --> 00:07:28,310
And let's move it to the right.

121
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,940
OK so now I have two nice eyes fight and that red can change the feel if you like.

122
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:40,170
I would take rectangle path 1 and duplicate it again three Lispeth under just organize.

123
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,800
And then let's move it down.

124
00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:42,540
OK.

125
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:47,130
And then move it to the left here and let's make it a bit bigger.

126
00:07:47,230 --> 00:07:50,680
So I will increase this one and then increase the Schwann.

127
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,570
That's not bad.

128
00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:54,710
As I adjusted OK.

129
00:07:55,110 --> 00:08:03,950
VTR So now you have the head of your bed all in one group of shit.

130
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,930
Let's get into shape now let's create the buddy over here.

131
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,550
Well I can go the same way.

132
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:13,590
Create an empty group if I come to content's I can create an empty group.

133
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,760
Start adding things.

134
00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:21,640
But I would do it the other way now I'll take content and go to create an ellipse here.

135
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,880
I would start the ellipse from here and just do like this.

136
00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:28,330
Press the spacebar to move it and I move it over here.

137
00:08:28,370 --> 00:08:29,340
Is it too big.

138
00:08:29,540 --> 00:08:36,030
So I release I make it smaller years and just put it over the buddy.

139
00:08:36,290 --> 00:08:41,480
Let's rename it 6:1 to Buddy is above the head.

140
00:08:41,510 --> 00:08:42,650
I was take Buddy.

141
00:08:42,650 --> 00:08:49,160
Click and drag and put it under Had you noticed the blue light reselect the body I have the Fluke over

142
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:56,060
here because there is only one I would use it for example to find if I turn around the body I can take

143
00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:58,940
the fill and put it above the stroke.

144
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,750
It will reduce the stroke of course.

145
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:01,800
Now with anybody.

146
00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:10,000
Let's add another elipse let's move this ellipse on this side this small smaller first just like this

147
00:09:10,410 --> 00:09:13,090
and then let's move it on this side and let's take it up.

148
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,070
OK.

149
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:16,040
So that's over here right.

150
00:09:16,220 --> 00:09:20,600
There's duplicate the ellipse and then let's position it.

151
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:22,460
Let's move it to the right.

152
00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:24,370
You are something like this.

153
00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:27,130
Let's duplicate that again.

154
00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:28,660
We have the first one now.

155
00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:37,300
If it will down let's move it down over here and then we get it another time and then we have elipse

156
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:40,950
5 and let's move it now to this side.

157
00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:42,210
Ok cool.

158
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:43,500
Something like this.

159
00:09:44,140 --> 00:09:45,780
Let's move this one out a bit.

160
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:50,810
Well up here you have the body and you have that.

161
00:09:50,940 --> 00:09:51,980
That's the head.

162
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:53,400
Well if I want to only.

163
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,200
All the head I will be using now transform head for example.

164
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,910
Let's animate with the rotation.

165
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,620
Click on rotation over here and put it in that position.

166
00:10:03,710 --> 00:10:05,000
Then go after.

167
00:10:05,090 --> 00:10:11,310
I don't know 20 frames 15 frames whatever you like and just try a little bit.

168
00:10:11,550 --> 00:10:17,040
You'll notice that the rotation here it's happening for the group itself which has an anchor point if

169
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,470
you remember to put it down here.

170
00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:25,640
OK let's go after one second for example and let's move it to the other side the way you would like.

171
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,510
Go after 20 or 10 frames whatever.

172
00:10:28,510 --> 00:10:30,790
And we make it this like this.

173
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,980
And then after some time.

174
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:39,250
OK let's take the Laskey frame to make it seamless copyright control See comments See under my control

175
00:10:39,250 --> 00:10:42,060
V or Commandery And here you are.

176
00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:44,200
Stop the animation just over here.

177
00:10:45,210 --> 00:10:46,750
And then here you are.

178
00:10:46,770 --> 00:10:50,130
You have the head moving pretty fast by the way.

179
00:10:50,190 --> 00:10:53,560
There's one keyframe And another key to see.

180
00:10:53,850 --> 00:10:55,800
Well I like it like this is pretty cool.

181
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,190
The guy is moving his head.

182
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,750
So you have to read it in the head and the body animated the head.

183
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:03,310
Now you can.

184
00:11:03,310 --> 00:11:03,820
Of course.

185
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:11,300
And he made the whole stop this one come to the beginning and there's only me the position for example

186
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:17,780
I keyframe materialistic over here and then after some time you bring it over here.

187
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,620
Then after some time at the end of the timing here let's take it and put it over here.

188
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:26,710
OK you can continue doing the animation the way you would like.

189
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,710
And here you you have your back.

190
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:35,660
The head is moving independently and the layer is moving and you have created already a very nice motion

191
00:11:35,660 --> 00:11:37,650
graphic.

192
00:11:37,710 --> 00:11:46,200
It's up to you now to go out and create your own little bed or a car or a house and few things there

193
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:47,750
and see how it happens.

194
00:11:47,790 --> 00:11:55,470
Using groups and the add button here to the shapes themselves and the feel and stroke of course.

195
00:11:55,470 --> 00:11:56,350
Thank you for listening.

196
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,610
I'll see you in the next lecture.
