Hi guys we have seen in previous lecture how to put a tax on a path or how to choose the path option
for the text.
But also we can do the same with anything any shape.
Let's try to work out the small things first.
I will draw a small circle here.
I will remove busy path.
Nothing that is busy passing I would remove it and I draw just a simple circle and I give it a bigger
stroke.
Now we have our circle here.
Our pest control alt. and whom to bring the anchor point of the ladder in the middle.
So now I have a center the shape within that are fine.
If I look in the contented and I look at the lips I have lips but one and inside the half size and position
of course the explanation about these shapes.
You can get it all at 100 percent in complex shapes.
It's a section that you have in this course and it should be very good if you go through it and learn
everything about chips and so many things so you can learn fast.
But now I'm going to create another shape but I'm going to use the busy path.
If I click and open I have just a circle here which is a stroke not feel fine but that circle here is
a path I will name it pass so we know how.
If I come to elipse here I open the lips open path one will see path in the previous one we haven't
seen path.
We have seen size and position but because I take on bezier path I created a shared that is only a path.
What I will do I will copy this parse using Control-C as simple.
Then I will go to my shape lead the second one.
The circle this one circle and open position that is B can to position here.
Adjust my timeline indicator to the beginning and press Contrave.
Now notice what happened first of all I will hide.
The path is not seen.
Now the position has taken the path or the shape of the reviews about the previous shape.
You know here now we have a roving keyframes and we have a position or emotional path that is exactly
like the shape we have drawn.
So actually became we copied the path from this but later and opposed it as a position and it created
for us the keyframes and is roving keyframes in time meaning we have the same speed all over.
If you play now your animation you notice that the circle is Garro going around the bars that you have
created and that is extremely important and very useful.
You have roving the frame so you can play with your motion path and keep the same speed everywhere.
If you would like to.
So now you have a different kind of motion but it's a busy path.
We'll be going exactly on the bus but notice how I adjusted the anchor point in the beginning.
Please notice that the anchor point is moving on the path.
So if you move the anchor point of your leg or you don't adjust it you might wonder why your shape is
moving in a funny funny way.
So always put the anchor point in the middle or in any position you want in the shape.
That's very nice.
Let's do it in this circle.
We don't want it.
We are going to import an image the same import file.
And I have here a kind of cash.
This is my card here.
I just bought it.
So either got here.
I will put the card in the composition.
I will scale down with the scale that's OK.
Make it smaller and I will come to the path here and as you know I will copy the path.
Go to the car open position click on position adjust my time line indicator whatever I want to start
and just PSP and now my car is on the motion path.
Now you know this is very nice.
I have the car going around but is not turning according as this motion path here is not closed.
We have keyframes lets move it over here for example you notice here I have keyframe and is not a closed
motion motion but never close.
So I can adjust the mortum motion past now to make it exactly the way I want for example.
And here is my car.
It comes from there and turns around and goes up.
Nice very nice.
Now I have a nice motion.
So if you have taken your time to create a path in a debate stage or brought it here this is the way
to do it and this is the way to create a path or position and emission from a path.
Now there is something else.
This car doesn't look good.
We want this car to be pointing towards the path that will be interesting.
Right click on the car come to transform our famous transforms will fit to comp and so on and click
auto Orient.
If you give me the option of three and four off or auto Orient or orient along the path I will choose
orient on the path.
Click OK.
Now you have an amazing car going on your path of course.
The best you could have done is read the position from here is to design your path for example if you
have a road or something and you can come and draw your path and then take that path and make it the
motion path of the car you are.
For example I come here this is I have a shit bath because I use the pen tool of course is going to
be a busy path.
It cannot be a shape.
OK I will copy the path from here.
Go to my car go to the position in the timeline indicator Contrave and paste.
I have my roving keyframes.
I click drive and it drives which will be more interesting to put the path under than the car will be
driving on the path so you can come and adjust your motion path and it plays on the line.
So what we have learned now is to take a bath if it is inside a shape like you have seen or created
by the pen tool.
Or you can import that path from I.
That's an advanced option that you would see later and copy it into position and you will have roving
keyframes.
If a roving keyframes is not really what you want you can always come to the graph and change the way
you want and you will have the speed that you want without any changes to the path itself.
So now is going down the hill so it should be very speedy for example.
Just like this comes to the hill and then is starting to go up.
Start to be slow you know.
Hard to go up there now is going down the hill so the speed is high it slows down.
Now is that speed coming on top speed go down very fast.
And so on you have your motion here.
That will be an extraordinary path that you have created what I wanted to demonstrate to you is how
easy is it to create motion path in after effects and you have the option either to create a mask or
a base shape and copy that into the text bash option or copy that into the position of a.
In this case we have a the image.
Of course I could have chosen a shape or whatever you want.
This is an instrument of animations that is very powerful and later on I will try to use it and it's
up to you.
Now let's say you download a p n g for a road and you will create the path and your car will be going
on the path.
And of course you can have a bird flying around or whatever you want.
Thanks very much for listening.
I hope you are benefiting.
I have been very concise in this lecture though it has taken around ten minutes but what is important
is that you get to know these small elements that makes any mention what is supposed to do before you
become an expert.
Thanks.
