Hi guys this is you and this lecture want to focus on importing movies and this is the key of aftereffects
you can import movies at graphics of the movies.
CM You have done two images and you know three in size and they change the aspect of the movies.
Now how do we import movies.
Same way as we imported the images we Right-Click go to import a file and I have couple of movies here
we can import.
Let's say we import this movie and we have our movie here immediately.
We can look at the information.
It is 7:6 and 21 frames and it's 29.
97 frames per second.
Now this information is important.
You want to create your composition using this information.
Either use the movies to create the new composition or create an identical composition.
When you have movies and the size is okay with you just click and drag to create a composition.
So now we have a new composition.
The movie is a layer like the images and you have the composition name you can rename it says my movie
for example.
You can come to the timeline and just preview your movie.
Now depending on your system and how much memory you have and the quality of your movie.
This is a very short movie and the image here is moving very slightly.
It has a purpose.
I will show you something else.
Fine let's bring in a new movie.
Another movie.
Let's bring in the Swan and we import now.
I have also 19:20 by 10.
The previous one was the same.
This is 29 frames per second and this one is 24 frames per second.
I'm going to have a slight problem if I put my composite at 24 frames.
This one will have a problem if I put it at 29 frames.
This movie will have a problem.
Nevertheless these are short movies and you're not going to have a huge problem mainly when you do in
motion graphics.
But here we can add nice motion graphics nice subtitles and so on and use it as a background.
Let's take this one and we can also drop it above or under the previous movie or just drop it in the
timeline here decide 2 seconds for example at 1 second I can come and just drop it here.
Of course it's coming down.
Move it up so we play.
And now depending on your system like you seen here it will Aranda and you can see your movies if it
runs down your layer.
You'll see you have transformed and you can use the skill at the position and the rotation and the opacity
to animate your movie just like images take them both to the beginning and scale this at 20 and 50 percent
and the skill the other one all saw here at 50 percent for example now we have two movies let's put
one on this corner and the other oil on our caller for example just to show you then you can select
all your labor and trade them up and maybe watch all your movie using the preview depending on your
system and the moment you have on your computer it will run fast or slow.
If you come to him for he didn't notice I'm running very slow here at 2 frames per second it's not a
lead time but it will render it's only two movies now.
It would be much faster.
Let's see how if you come to view now it will go fast and then we slow down until it renders completely.
Of course I have similar programs running here to be able to record let's create a simple animation
now with the two movies for example I will open the or by city I will keyframe both of them in the beginning
make them a zero opacity and move this one here.
At this point we want this one the opposite to become 100 for example it would appear.
And then this one the opposite will come out one handed after some time and it will cover the first
movie or the bit after the second one.
Here you are saying that it's quite cool the way you can do animations with the movies.
You could also move them around.
Now let's look at what NOT to do.
Stop here and click on the stopwatches to remove the file.
I will take that movie and make it transform it to camp and it fit entirely.
If I come to the project panel and I click then you will notice that it will open the footage panel.
That is a lot of things that you can do in the footage panel for example trimming your movie making
it shorter I would take the outpoint and put it here I can just press on the out point with my timeline
here and press on that point or come in the important or so and press the point here.
So this is about the footage and now you see I shorten my movie I will shorten it even more.
But there is no change in the lead because a marquee in the footage if I come back here close my footage
take the new one from the man and put it up.
This is going to be shorter and still I can manipulate the time the way I want to read this one.
One other thing if I come to the player here and DoubleClick now I am in the later panel.
Be careful if you get confused.
Go back to your composition panel and here I can do the same.
Also I can manipulate the colors and there are a few things like masks we see in the next lecture how
to do them and here we can use the brush to do certain things.
The blocks will be here.
But now the Bashraheel appear at this time not before so you can add another time in the beginning here.
See something like this and this is how we are going to work to create certain effects and certain in
a nice motion graphic on the movie not this here is not thing they appear and that will stay there until
the other one appears OK and there is a way to remove them or this will be on that effect and its bent
and we can work on it later on in the advanced section of this course if you'd like to of course.
Now this is the layer palette if you come back to your composition panel you're not is that all the
changes you have done there you can see them happening.
That is very useful.
Let's dig the areas for example press it press control and make it smaller.
That's the paintbrush I'm using here.
I will show you all this later on in the course just an overview.
Now what you can do can come here and start playing with them you don't have to wait till the end of
the course so it is some of my movie like this particular.
I am working on an MP 4 here or yeah.
And then I come back to my panel here is my movie.
And what's beautiful about the effect here is I can work with the FXE not just you have another option
of the options and I take the effects that are it and make them you know take the opacity down or up.
So I'm removing the opacity on the effect.
So this is what you can do with the movies and at the layer panel and the footage is good.
So please remember if you DoubleClick by mistake you will come to remember to close it.
Remember to close your legal panel if you double click and stay in your competition.
Thanks for listening.
This is about movies.
And then the next lecture.
That's the most interesting we're going to apply truckman masks.
