Hi guys hopefully you enjoyed the lectures before this one.
Now in this lecture we want to understand about composition or you want to create our first composition
composition will contain all your layers and will contain all the manipulation of this lead in the timeline.
So your letters will be listed here and the manipulation through key frames and frames will be shown
on this side.
We'll see that in the you'll notice that the toolbar here everything shaded out.
I cannot use any tool this is because to be able to use any tool or to create a layer you need to be
in a composition.
So we need to create a composition.
Let's create our first composition.
There are many ways to create the.
The first one is to come to composition and you have new composition here all use control and second
one is to click in your project and the right click and choose new composition.
And the best one that's the one I like very much is click on this button here and say create composition.
I will do that.
Now you have the composition dialog box you have the composition name.
You can change it.
Of course not leave it to comp one.
Then you have the basic parameters he can adjust all the advanced one.
We'll see that later on in the course.
They stick to basic for now you have the play set and you have the width and the heights.
Of course if you don't use the preset you can set your width and height and all these parameters.
Let's see what we have inside the playsets.
If you have many options from the web videos to TVs these will create very nice web movies and you have
up to four K and 2K now.
In our case here we are doing motion graphics for web design or to display them on YouTube.
And for the web my favorite presets are the HDTV 720 and the HDTV then 80 25 frames per second.
I would not use twenty nine point ninety seven because it will mess up my calculation.
And actually when you're putting on the web that is no need it used twenty nine point ninety seven which
is very common by the way.
So let's use 720 by 25.
We have these barometers for the 720 by 25 which is 12 80 the height 720 pixels that what you call 720.
Keep the square pixels always.
Otherwise if you change them it's mainly directed towards TVs and not web graphic.
And then do some complications for you.
Frame it let's keep it at 25.
And the most important here is the time unit is here at five seconds at best 25.
Just for example if you want 10 seconds you will write ten point or it's 125.
You can write 25 seconds and zero zero.
That will make 25 seconds.
You notice has changed here.
For now I want to choose five seconds.
I can write five.
Period.
Or not choose the background color.
I will leave it to black but you can change it to anything you want and click OK.
Now we have created our first position not is the composition appeared in three places first in the
composition.
The background here did not appear as black.
Because I'm using the transparency if I toggle transparency it will go back to the composition background
color which is black and then it appeared in the time line it opened in the timeline.
And of course it created the new composition in our project and you see how the project is updating.
But let's say you want to change the parameters you don't like the name to become one and you want to
change for example the time what you do.
You can come to the timeline right click on on the name of the camp and go to composition setting.
That's one way the other way is to click on your composition in the project panel and then right click
and say composition setting for example I will use this one.
Let's change the name to first camp and that's all we want to change here.
We will not change the direction we click OK.
And we have our first composition called first.
So this is the way to create a composition and to change the parameters of a composition or the timing
or the name of the composition.
Another way to change the name of a composition is just to play it choose it.
Inside the project then press enter and you can write in your name.
For example click out and you have a new name notice that it changed in your name in the time.
So now that you've created in your composition Your lot is that the toolbar hear that or highlighted.
And we can start using them in the next lecture without creating some shapes and some text and to start
animating creating a motion graphic.
I see you in the next lecture.
