Hi guys this is live with you from a school online that come and I want you to benefit the maximum from
this course.
So please ask all the questions that you have put them in there.
Q Any section of the dashboard of the scores now in this lecture what you want to do is to look at the
interface of after effects.
And it's pretty easy by the way if you look at it carefully there is not much into it but there are
so many small small things all around the place.
First of all if you look at your right they change the way they do the menu and now the menu is like
a pull down menu for each panel you have put here.
You know this is a panel if you notice the preview panel.
This is the effect panel here.
And there's the character palette for example and so on to create a menu like this is crazy.
Just come to my window here and choose the one that you want to see the one that I want.
Dict here.
Tools For example you can find tools the tools bar the preview you can find the preview over here.
Paragraph is over here now in full preview of exempli sets collector paragraph and A-line are very important
that you have them here for motion graphic and I will be using a lot of the Allied for example are of
course correct.
Now to make it look like this just select any one of them from here and come to panel group setting
and use a stacked panel group and solo panel in stock meaning they don't open two of them.
Only one will open.
Now this is very effective using a notebook a small screen or a laptop.
Well you have you don't have 19:20 by an 80 or sceptered 7 inch screen.
I always use this screen for my courses because this is the general one that is used.
I can use my 27 inch monitor or 20 inch monitor in fact then all these details will be very small for
you to see.
So I prefer this one is quite humble.
Let's see.
Now this side is always the auxiliary panels that you will be using now and then you can add for example
the metadata for example here and you can take them at the data and just drop it you know inside them
and it will be like one of these menus for example to close it you just right click or click on the
menu here.
The three bars and a cross palette can come and find another word for example.
We have FXI and present but it's not showing let's say a motion sketch sketch will come here.
And in this case the setting itself within the menu so I can just take it and you know drag it across
the panel.
I can also drag this one to pull it up and down.
Or something like this.
You can also see all of them for example this one you can it up or down something like this.
You want to keep it in the middle of course.
So this the right side you always have auxiliary panels and that will help you to achieve sort of this
is the composition viewer panel.
So composition viewers this is where you're going to draw see your movies see how your animation is
happening.
You do things in this composition palette.
So here you have your project which is very important because it will is for you all the images the
files the files that you have both here even the videos everything and your new compositions that you
have created for example and solid layers that you will put here.
Everything I'm talking about you would see.
So then you have here the timeline very important.
The timeline is linked directly to the composition.
There is time here and there will be time here and this is the time here.
But then you have here the most important is your toolbar.
This is a menu.
If I take it out it is not moving for me now.
Here it is.
This is a panel that is the toolbar you can just take it.
Click on it and drag it and put the giant on top.
And it was satiric and just put it on the side if you want.
But here it usually is.
So on the right you have the x ray powers the composition viewer the composition time line link together
will see this in detail I just want to bring this to your attention.
Your project manager.
Of course you can add many other windows and so on.
But you know like wiggler you want the Wigglers just click on it you get it here you finish from it
just close it don't keep it.
So this is about the interface.
You have the right the composition viewer of the project manager and the timeline and your toolbar.
I'm repeating myself but it's really pretty easy.
And then the next lecture you will learn how to create a new composition and start animating.
Thanks for listening.
See you in the next lecture.
