1 00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:07,390 Hi guys I'm like I'm with you in the new lecture and in this lecture what you want to do is to explore 2 00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:12,090 the shape players and how to create chips and how to use certain modifier keys. 3 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,440 In the previous lecture I showed you how to create a composition. 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,590 I hope you still have it. 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,800 If not just create a new composition so we can create some. 6 00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:25,080 Output here fit to 100 percent so we can see everything. 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:32,230 To create a shape that you come to the shape here in your toolbar and you can click and it's more than 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,700 you will open here. 9 00:00:33,730 --> 00:00:36,690 You can see the different shapes that you create. 10 00:00:36,940 --> 00:00:39,660 Let's use a rounded rectangle tool. 11 00:00:39,730 --> 00:00:41,300 The corners are rounded. 12 00:00:41,530 --> 00:00:47,980 So you click and drag and you see that you have created this shape that is a rectangle and it has rounded 13 00:00:47,980 --> 00:00:49,120 corners. 14 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:54,460 Now our release here and explain to you that as soon as you created the shape you release the mouse 15 00:00:54,460 --> 00:01:01,300 button a shape player has been created that has the content and inside the content there is a rectangle. 16 00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:07,300 So this rectangle is inside the shape player inside the content that's very important because now we 17 00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:14,490 can have other shapes inside the constants here you'll see that in the section of creating complex shapes. 18 00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:16,370 Fine I will delete the Shipler. 19 00:01:16,690 --> 00:01:19,360 Now you notice when you choose the shape tool. 20 00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:21,910 Some other options will appear here. 21 00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:24,850 For example if you are an X tool that will go away. 22 00:01:24,850 --> 00:01:32,110 Choose a shape tool and you have the tool create chip or tool the masks we see about this later and 23 00:01:32,110 --> 00:01:35,020 you have the fill option the stroke and the stroke. 24 00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:41,620 So you can come and adjust these before you start creating your shape or you can create your shape and 25 00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:47,740 go to for example the word feel and you have several options here you want not feel at all. 26 00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:53,780 You want a solid feel or a linear feel or maybe you want a radial grid. 27 00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:57,730 So your choice here for what you want I would consider this one. 28 00:01:57,730 --> 00:02:03,190 You can also come to the color and of course change the color to anything you want and decide this is 29 00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:04,150 the color you want. 30 00:02:04,150 --> 00:02:06,990 And then click OK I'll just click Cancel. 31 00:02:07,330 --> 00:02:09,460 You can come also to the word. 32 00:02:09,790 --> 00:02:17,350 And then you have the same options you have no stroke at all or is sold stroke or a great stroke or 33 00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:21,720 radial gradient stroke and you need to adjust it takes a lot of work. 34 00:02:21,730 --> 00:02:23,910 You radio to be really quite good. 35 00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:25,540 So I would just cancel here. 36 00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:29,990 Also you can adjust the width of the stroke itself. 37 00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:32,260 You can make it bigger or smaller the way you want. 38 00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:34,270 You notice how the stroke works. 39 00:02:34,270 --> 00:02:42,640 Half of it for example this is 90 so 45 is outside the limits of the hour and 45 is inside the limits 40 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,080 of the leg. 41 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,760 This is really important to note. 42 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,950 So the stroke is the body's not totally outside or totally inside. 43 00:02:50,050 --> 00:02:54,580 I'll put it back to five and I will delete this rectangle. 44 00:02:55,510 --> 00:02:58,480 To start showing you how to use the modifier keys. 45 00:02:59,030 --> 00:03:00,370 Let's take that down. 46 00:03:00,450 --> 00:03:02,250 Then again click and drag. 47 00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:06,800 We opened a rectangle before you release the mouse button. 48 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:15,390 You can use the up arrow to increase the roundness of the corners or the down arrow to degrees that 49 00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:15,670 aren't. 50 00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:17,920 This is very fine. 51 00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:26,850 Also you can use the right arrow to have the roundness of the rectangle for the rectangle of course 52 00:03:27,380 --> 00:03:30,260 and you can use the left arrow to have no on this at all. 53 00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:38,880 So you can switch between and decide exactly how you want that on this important key here is the spacebar. 54 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:44,900 If you press spacebar then you can move your rectangle and put it anywhere you want. 55 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,400 You know very precisely. 56 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:51,940 That's one that is very important if you want your rectangle to be square. 57 00:03:52,010 --> 00:03:54,830 Is you know the two sides have to be equal. 58 00:03:55,130 --> 00:04:01,760 Then you press shift and the sides of your rectangle will be equal and that will be a square. 59 00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:05,210 Now with rounded corners. 60 00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:11,390 Now you'll notice that I started clicking here and dragging out if I click and press control and drag 61 00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:15,450 out the center of the rectangle will be my first click click here. 62 00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:17,320 Then I open. 63 00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:22,890 This is how to create you know a rectangle with a center that you know exactly what you want to put. 64 00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:30,530 Of course if you press the shift now the equal sided and the center is your first key you press the 65 00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:35,380 space bar and you can move it anywhere you want OK. 66 00:04:35,740 --> 00:04:44,200 So these are the modifier is poured it on a rectangle that's the read out on that external and create 67 00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:45,520 other shapes. 68 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,540 Now let's go and create for example an ellipse. 69 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:54,730 If you click and drag the ellipse will start from the corner if you wanted to start from the center 70 00:04:54,730 --> 00:05:00,700 meaning where you have clicked you press control and it will open up pressing shift will make it a perfect 71 00:05:00,970 --> 00:05:02,170 circle. 72 00:05:02,170 --> 00:05:08,200 Now the other modifier it is only the spacebar would work here the left up and down arrows will not 73 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:08,650 work. 74 00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:10,220 There is nothing to work on. 75 00:05:10,460 --> 00:05:12,280 But now let's move on. 76 00:05:12,370 --> 00:05:15,830 Let's go create another shape. 77 00:05:15,910 --> 00:05:18,160 For example we take a polygon. 78 00:05:18,250 --> 00:05:21,730 If you click on the polygon and drag you will have the initial polygon. 79 00:05:21,730 --> 00:05:29,640 This is the preset and you see it's scaling up and at the same time rotating with the mouse. 80 00:05:29,710 --> 00:05:32,020 If you don't want to rotate it at all it's annoying. 81 00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:35,460 You can press shift and get it up and down. 82 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:38,970 Now if you press control here it doesn't do anything. 83 00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:45,700 The amusing thing here you have the appro that will give you more size or Cola's and you have the down 84 00:05:45,730 --> 00:05:47,230 arrow that will give you less. 85 00:05:47,230 --> 00:05:52,800 This is the way to make a rectangle for example Droi polygon and make it three sides. 86 00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:56,270 Now another nice key is that right. 87 00:05:56,590 --> 00:06:03,090 If you press it will start to pocket or blow out one of these or you don't know which one. 88 00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:06,170 But nevertheless it gives you a nice shape. 89 00:06:06,190 --> 00:06:14,080 And so if you press the left key now you notice it's going down and going to go and create a more interesting 90 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,760 shape for example. 91 00:06:16,210 --> 00:06:24,040 You can increase the number of callers in the poker ring or bloating and you have a very interesting 92 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,890 shape here that you can use. 93 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:35,080 Let's move on and we will create in U-shape nounless investigate or explore the start. 94 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:41,720 If you click and drag out of course all of them are starting from the first click that's the center. 95 00:06:41,910 --> 00:06:46,320 Then you have your star of course is sizing and turning at the same time. 96 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,660 Now the control key has a nice function here. 97 00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:54,390 You know you have the inner radius and the outer radius if you press control you will be increasing 98 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:57,220 the outer radius or increasing the spikes. 99 00:06:57,510 --> 00:07:06,620 So you release the control and then you can reduce pest control again and you have you know starfish. 100 00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:10,990 If you press the shift now it will not move any more into it in fact. 101 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:11,780 OK. 102 00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:18,350 Now using the apparel you will add spikes if you want or corners the way you wanted. 103 00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:24,290 And the down are of course it use them if you press on the right it will pocket it all bloated. 104 00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:31,510 One of these the one that you like or this one will make it is in some interesting shapes here. 105 00:07:31,590 --> 00:07:34,240 So it's up to you to create a very nice shape. 106 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:40,650 Now after you've created your last chip what will happen the next chip you will create will be similar 107 00:07:40,650 --> 00:07:42,890 to the last ship that you have created. 108 00:07:43,410 --> 00:07:48,060 Sometimes you don't want to do that what you can do to reset is pretty easy. 109 00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:56,060 By the way you will come to the store for example and DoubleClick the original shape or the factory 110 00:07:56,060 --> 00:07:57,990 set shape will appear. 111 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:07,400 Now after that every other style that you draw will be you know identical to this one you find you can 112 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:16,910 do also the same for the polygon here and you can double click on the polygon and you really create 113 00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:21,610 a polygon which is set to factory defaults 5. 114 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:23,210 Delete all this. 115 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,340 Now create a rectangle now and I want you to notice about the anchor point. 116 00:08:28,340 --> 00:08:31,420 Click on the rectangle click and drag here. 117 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:38,180 Now you're not in the middle here you have this shape like a circle with some you know arrows coming 118 00:08:38,180 --> 00:08:38,970 out. 119 00:08:39,050 --> 00:08:40,710 This is the anchor point of the layer. 120 00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:43,750 If you select the left this is the anchor point of the layer. 121 00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:48,370 This anchor point is used to scale or to rotate. 122 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:54,590 For example if you take your rotation tool here you can choose it from the menu press w and come to 123 00:08:54,590 --> 00:08:57,350 your rectangle and rotate it. 124 00:08:57,380 --> 00:09:03,560 You can decide how to rotate if you press shift then it will snap to 45 degrees which is pretty convenient 125 00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,380 by the way when you're doing animations. 126 00:09:06,650 --> 00:09:09,020 You can decide like OK I don't want that. 127 00:09:09,140 --> 00:09:11,700 I want to rotate around this corner here. 128 00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:17,180 So you take your pen behind tool and move it to any color. 129 00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:20,690 Now why it's not being because I use the snapping. 130 00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:26,870 And you can snap it anywhere you want on the color if you don't use snapping you can freely move it 131 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,590 anywhere you want and you can lose control of the stick snapping and put them on this corner. 132 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:41,960 Now you take your rotation tool and if you're at it you see that is rotating on the anchor point. 133 00:09:42,110 --> 00:09:49,240 It's important to note is this is the anchor point for the shape I come to a rectangle here you know 134 00:09:49,330 --> 00:09:52,290 is that these small squares have changed. 135 00:09:52,610 --> 00:09:56,820 The delimiters and the anchor point sizes become smaller. 136 00:09:56,870 --> 00:10:00,470 Now I am rotating the shape itself not the layer. 137 00:10:00,730 --> 00:10:01,230 OK. 138 00:10:01,430 --> 00:10:03,850 If you have two shapes you will notice the difference. 139 00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:10,190 But for now you will be rotating the shape so when you have this white rectangles here you'd be rotating 140 00:10:10,190 --> 00:10:11,050 the shape. 141 00:10:11,180 --> 00:10:16,820 When you have the blue rectangles out you will be rotating the letter. 142 00:10:16,910 --> 00:10:21,500 If you come to the shape here you can also change the entry point is very nice. 143 00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:25,130 Let's put it here and decide to rotate it for example. 144 00:10:25,130 --> 00:10:29,080 This way or the other way anywhere you want. 145 00:10:29,090 --> 00:10:30,610 Now this is how to create shapes. 146 00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:35,870 It's very is very simple it's not complicated but out of any many modifier keys what I would like it 147 00:10:35,870 --> 00:10:37,850 to do is to go to after effects. 148 00:10:37,850 --> 00:10:43,250 I hope you are there already and try to use the modifier keys right you plan on you get all the ships 149 00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:44,810 that you want to create. 150 00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:48,980 It's very interesting that you learn how to create shapes the way you want. 151 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,370 We are going to use text and shape to create any missions. 152 00:10:53,390 --> 00:10:54,840 Thank you very much for listening. 153 00:10:54,950 --> 00:10:57,020 This is live as you see in the next lecture.
