00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:07,620

A guys this is live with you from school online that can't remember guys I'm here to help you to become



2

00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:14,400

the expert you want to become in Adobe After Effects and create animations and stunning videos later



3

00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:14,610

on.



4

00:00:14,610 --> 00:00:20,490

By the end of this course in this lecture we'll be creating simple animations but we will train on how



5

00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:27,800

to create keyframes how to manipulate keyframes within the timeline and also how to manipulate our layers.



6

00:00:28,050 --> 00:00:34,290

If you downloaded the project file within the folder of course you will find a composition called practice



7

00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:40,830

lets double click on best practice and you will see that we have in simple animation that we want to



8

00:00:40,830 --> 00:00:42,200

create here.



9

00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,020

Its pretty simple but we will learn how to manipulate the keyframes and also how to manipulate our lives.



10

00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:54,240

But you can also open a best practice where there is only the text and there is no animation and you



11

00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,760

can follow through with me where you can focus on the animation and forget about laying out the text



12

00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:00,910

on the screen.



13

00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,840

But I have to start from the beginning.



14

00:01:02,910 --> 00:01:06,870

And I would lay out the text and show you how it's done and we will animate this together.



15

00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:09,870

First of all let's go and Glos all.



16

00:01:09,870 --> 00:01:15,850

Now I will create a new composition not is that my selection here is inside the fold of course.



17

00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:22,680

If I create a new composition as they call it compound for now and its five seconds I say OK if I click



18

00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:26,120

OK it will go inside the fold.



19

00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,740

You notice that because my selection was inside now I don't want the composition to be inside the folder



20

00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:32,290

here.



21

00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:36,630

There are couple of choices you can click on it and drag it out at the bottom.



22

00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:42,500

But sometimes the bottom is not seen you have too many things so you can get up there.



23

00:01:42,510 --> 00:01:43,020

Here you are.



24

00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,490

And now its out and this is sorted alphabetically of course.



25

00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:54,780

You can choose the sorting by clicking on the name Leslie name it and call it practice.



26

00:01:54,830 --> 00:01:55,930

Let's create a shape.



27

00:01:55,950 --> 00:01:59,710

We click on the rectangle we click and drag.



28

00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,680

We can use the spacebar to adjust it again.



29

00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:05,780

That's good.



30

00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:07,520

Adjustment fine.



31

00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,950

And also if we click Wii we go to our alliance.



32

00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,040

We can align it you notice that its composition and selection here to the composition in the center



33

00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:21,710

or is entirely in the center vertically but we can stretch it that make it a bit bigger.



34

00:02:22,130 --> 00:02:23,060

That's good.



35

00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:23,580

OK.



36

00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,190

Now we want to put the text we click on Tex.



37

00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,320

Our click here and know is I'm going to copy the text from outside aftereffect just to make it pretty



38

00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,760

speedy for you.



39

00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,750

I will do for all of them pretty fast.



40

00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:42,180

Copy that next to the Capitol.



41

00:02:42,770 --> 00:02:46,670

So we have our text on the screen and just laid out in any way.



42

00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:48,460

I need to align the stacks.



43

00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:49,550

Let's look at our players.



44

00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:51,170

We have one two three four.



45

00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:51,970

That's fine.



46

00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,910

That's OK.



47

00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:59,390

So we want to select all these layers and you know align them left side and align them in the middle



48

00:02:59,390 --> 00:03:00,320

of the rectangle.



49

00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,080

First of all let's set this one.



50

00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,240

This is the distance.



51

00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:07,200

The last one and this is the distance I want from top.



52

00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:12,330

And this is the distance I want from bottom to select all the layers here or a series of layers.



53

00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:17,780

I can place on the last one or the first one I want select press shift and select the first one pretty



54

00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:18,370

easy.



55

00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:23,630

Let's go back to our A-line and now we are aligning to the selection and then left.



56

00:03:23,690 --> 00:03:26,180

Then I would distribute them vertically.



57

00:03:26,180 --> 00:03:28,330

Here you are that perfectly distributed.



58

00:03:28,580 --> 00:03:31,370

But so now we want to create our animation.



59

00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:32,610

How do we do that.



60

00:03:32,690 --> 00:03:35,740

Now this animation is based on position.



61

00:03:35,780 --> 00:03:38,020

So we need to open up position here.



62

00:03:38,190 --> 00:03:47,680

I our select all the layers even the shape layer and press b foot position you know it is now or the



63

00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,000

position has open.



64

00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:52,380

I need to initiate the animation.



65

00:03:52,540 --> 00:03:54,380

Let's see after one second.



66

00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,250

I want all these text and the graphic the rectangle to be in this position.



67

00:04:00,610 --> 00:04:06,930

So I would click on the stopwatch not is that for all the layers that have been selected.



68

00:04:06,950 --> 00:04:12,030

It keyframe has been created and we can start now animating.



69

00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,310

I'll go back to zero from zero here.



70

00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:22,410

I'll press F to select everything and then select the first X and this text is going to come from outside



71

00:04:22,450 --> 00:04:23,680

on the left side.



72

00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:29,650

I would select the text click on it and keep it clicked then I can move it outside but it's going up



73

00:04:29,650 --> 00:04:30,650

and down with me.



74

00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:34,270

The best way to do it is to press shift and then move.



75

00:04:34,570 --> 00:04:38,950

So first you select your text you click and keep it clicked.



76

00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:43,960

Press shift or move it to the other side by pressing shift you will move straight will not go up and



77

00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,370

down.



78

00:04:45,220 --> 00:04:48,900

Click on the next layer press shift and take it on the other side.



79

00:04:49,150 --> 00:04:53,640

Click on the last press shift and take it outside the ceiling any minute now.



80

00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:56,800

Pretty cool let's say rectangle.



81

00:04:56,820 --> 00:04:58,370

Now we want to take it from us.



82

00:04:58,410 --> 00:04:59,920

We wanted to come from up.



83

00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:04,620

I click on it and press shift and move it up.



84

00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:06,750

Now we have a nice animation.



85

00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:15,460

Let's adjust its if you play it on Preview you will notice that it's OK let's make it more interesting.



86

00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:19,160

Now this keyframes here are I put them at one second.



87

00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,280

They're taking too long.



88

00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:23,730

I need to move them a bit further in the middle.



89

00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:31,300

For example the rectangle even more good now that are coming faster.



90

00:05:31,310 --> 00:05:35,180

That's pretty nice but I really don't like the way they're coming.



91

00:05:35,180 --> 00:05:36,940

I don't want them to come all together.



92

00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:42,520

I want to option one here create competition to come first create techs come second.



93

00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,110

So I need to move it.



94

00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,700

I can either move the keyframes that way or move the layer.



95

00:05:48,770 --> 00:05:51,780

For now we are going to move the keyframes.



96

00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:59,810

I'll take the second one and move the keyframes here for example like the last one and move the keyframes.



97

00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,670

Now let's look about good.



98

00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:05,400

I need them to be faster.



99

00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:07,850

But now how do I make them faster here.



100

00:06:07,850 --> 00:06:14,000

Because if I select I'm going to select everything I have no way to select the I will select them all



101

00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:22,160

press as an 8 and click on the rightmost keyframe and they mean you not now they are proportionally



102

00:06:22,940 --> 00:06:25,430

getting nearer to each other.



103

00:06:25,610 --> 00:06:26,170

OK.



104

00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:31,050

Now what happened if you run the animation that will be coming much faster.



105

00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,720

Still the first layer.



106

00:06:32,990 --> 00:06:36,590

This is the rectangle should come first then the X should come after.



107

00:06:36,740 --> 00:06:43,940

So I need to delay the incoming of the text for that I can move the letters now but I would select all



108

00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:50,270

of them click and drop in Haiti or.



109

00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,890

This is quite interesting.



110

00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:53,740

We learned a lot here.



111

00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:59,770

Now let's say you don't like the timing here but you want to do is to wait for this text to position



112

00:06:59,770 --> 00:07:03,030

itself and then let the stacks come in.



113

00:07:03,220 --> 00:07:14,780

Since the timing is OK for us here we can manipulate the layers you are and you play not as much better



114

00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,090

another choice.



115

00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:21,020

They say you want the text to come in wait for a few frames.



116

00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:24,400

Then the other text will come the next X will come.



117

00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,370

So you can take this one push it there and push it.



118

00:07:27,650 --> 00:07:32,340

So you're not only playing the keyframes now you are manipulating the layers.



119

00:07:32,490 --> 00:07:42,690

Let's preview I demonstrate you lots of options how to create the keyframes for many players how to



120

00:07:42,690 --> 00:07:50,850

move the key frames in the timeline using selections or even individually how to use the key to move



121

00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,170

the keyframes proportionally to each other.



122

00:07:55,230 --> 00:07:56,260

Thank you very much.



123

00:07:56,460 --> 00:08:01,200

And in the next lecture we are going to tackle more complicated animation.
