1 00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:05,930 Hi guys and I hope it has been an amazing journey since the beginning of the course. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,890 I hope also you'll learn a lot. 3 00:00:07,890 --> 00:00:13,100 And you are still learning more in this lecture what you want to do is to explore a bit. 4 00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:19,920 The stroke force shape shapes have a very special stroke in aftereffects which is totally different 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,770 from the stroke four characters you know or text. 6 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:30,870 So let's draw here for example an ellipse and then it's with them I will click in the middle control 7 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,080 shift and make a perfect circle. 8 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,900 Now after I do the circle you notice that the anchor point is somehow not in the middle of the circle 9 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,400 because this is the lead. 10 00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:47,820 What I can do is to press control alt delete and home to get the anchor point in the middle of the circle 11 00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:53,200 and in the middle of the letter but not in the middle of the composition please good. 12 00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:59,790 So now we have a circle if you can to elipse that's the content we found here that we have a stroke. 13 00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:03,350 Now the stroke is set for 15 and we don't have any feel fine. 14 00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:10,380 Let's drill down the stroke and we notice we have color we can keyframe the color let's start from there. 15 00:01:10,750 --> 00:01:18,000 Keyframe in this color and then move here and change the color to blue for example. 16 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,300 Now also move again and change the color of. 17 00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:26,500 Another thing I said is right let's play our animation now. 18 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,280 This is not a whole keyframe. 19 00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:35,700 So it's not going to jump colors it's going to go to the next color using the palette and it's very 20 00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:36,380 cool. 21 00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:42,420 So now you can only make the color of the stroke and you have a lot of options here. 22 00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:46,830 And you can have it like this Colyton or going very bright and very dull. 23 00:01:46,830 --> 00:01:52,950 Later on we learn how to use blurred and how to use other effects that would make the Slocombe really 24 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:54,070 fantastic. 25 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,810 Let's also now turn down the stroke and see what's happening. 26 00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:04,140 You notice here now I have a color scheme that I can really use with my keyframes. 27 00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:09,610 I can come here also put another keyframe and so on to change clothes. 28 00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:18,160 If you put the frame in between here and you change the color to the said this color you're not is you 29 00:02:18,190 --> 00:02:21,750 are adding more let's make it more you know obvious. 30 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:22,890 Let's go for Green. 31 00:02:22,890 --> 00:02:23,390 Yes. 32 00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:25,370 Very bright. 33 00:02:25,370 --> 00:02:28,630 Here you are you're moving colors and you can change the way you want. 34 00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:32,170 If you play it that will be made nice. 35 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:39,410 Good now you know about the color I was put the timeline indicated in the beginning and remove the keyframes 36 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,490 on the color opacity you know but this is the opacity of the stroke which is a pretty nice because if 37 00:02:46,490 --> 00:02:55,040 you had the feel they say we have this feel white you are only working on the opacity of the stroke 38 00:02:55,070 --> 00:02:58,140 and not the opacity of the whole layer. 39 00:02:58,190 --> 00:03:04,340 So in other you can remove and put the opacity of the stroke itself which is very interesting. 40 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,860 Let's move the field again and just go back to stroke with. 41 00:03:09,870 --> 00:03:16,190 Now you're not as I have here a different would give them here put that zero for example come after 42 00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:19,000 a few frames and make it pretty big. 43 00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:22,650 Then I come back at 1 second for example make a zero again. 44 00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:24,770 No not is the effect. 45 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,770 So if you combine this with the color effect let's give keyframe the color here. 46 00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:35,600 Move another frame change the color to bright blue. 47 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,660 Move the keyframe and change the color. 48 00:03:38,660 --> 00:03:43,250 In fact it's not necessary but we will change it here to this color. 49 00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:45,140 Here you are not just what's happening. 50 00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:48,480 It is extremely beautiful what is happening here. 51 00:03:48,530 --> 00:03:51,230 You can create some fantastic animations. 52 00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:52,870 Let's make it very slow. 53 00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:56,880 Plus alternates and the brain get to three seconds. 54 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,460 Here you are. 55 00:03:57,470 --> 00:04:01,380 You notice what's happening when it's glowing in and out. 56 00:04:01,410 --> 00:04:06,050 Also the preset glow will help a lot here that we'll be using later on. 57 00:04:07,310 --> 00:04:08,910 So these are quality admission's. 58 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:10,350 We are going to use them. 59 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,860 So please keep them in mind. 60 00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:13,360 This is just an introduction. 61 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,380 There are a lot of tricks you can play here. 62 00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:18,890 Slowly slowly I will introduce all of them during the course. 63 00:04:18,890 --> 00:04:27,000 Then you have your line up and line join will work with this as soon as we will investigate the dashes. 64 00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:35,220 So what I will do I'll just come over here and remove the stroke with the stroke means to 15. 65 00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:35,760 OK. 66 00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:42,200 So we have only one but I will come to dashers you know nothing nothing happened here for that is when 67 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,430 I turn it down. 68 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:49,640 I will use the pass and give me here 10 10 meaning the dashes then and between the dashes it's also 69 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,330 10. 70 00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:53,180 If I take it up you will notice. 71 00:04:53,180 --> 00:05:00,860 Now the space in between the dashes is increasing and the dashes are you know it is the same size as 72 00:05:00,860 --> 00:05:02,000 the space of the six. 73 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,610 Let's put down 35. 74 00:05:03,890 --> 00:05:05,840 Let's go back to Lightcap. 75 00:05:05,870 --> 00:05:08,990 This is Buttercup you know it's just cut like this. 76 00:05:08,990 --> 00:05:15,830 If I do it right up there will become round and of course the spacing now in between is a bit more because 77 00:05:16,010 --> 00:05:21,290 you have the rounding that's eating from the space you can increase the dashes size. 78 00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:25,160 Now another plus will give me gulp and that's very interesting. 79 00:05:25,310 --> 00:05:33,340 So if I take the gap and increase it it will give me more gaps in between the dashed lines. 80 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:40,750 Now you know what's happening if I take the dashes to zero it will become just only the randomness will 81 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,050 be there. 82 00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:43,340 So it's a little odd. 83 00:05:43,340 --> 00:05:47,120 So if I take it to zero returned but got nothing will appear. 84 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,450 So if I put the two around only the roundness of each line or always dush will appear. 85 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,630 You can take it to 1 and you have something bigger. 86 00:05:57,650 --> 00:05:58,130 And so on. 87 00:05:58,130 --> 00:05:59,430 I keep it to zero. 88 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,160 So this is the gap and I can increase and decrease the gap. 89 00:06:03,260 --> 00:06:09,100 If you look at our circle 100 percent let's make it here and come here. 90 00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:16,400 If I increase the number of jobs the number of dots will decrease or increase the way you want. 91 00:06:16,460 --> 00:06:17,440 That's good. 92 00:06:17,450 --> 00:06:19,410 Now also this is keyframe. 93 00:06:19,490 --> 00:06:23,010 We will do some animation with the offset is just turn it down. 94 00:06:23,030 --> 00:06:28,310 It will offset it if you look carefully you will notice more is coming and more is going this is the 95 00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:30,320 offset what's happening. 96 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:38,660 So a nice animation that you can do here is come to the stroke for example keyframe it at 0 and then 97 00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:44,160 keyframe it 15 or 20 lastic 15 for now. 98 00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:48,700 And then of course come in the beginning keyframe the offset at zero. 99 00:06:48,780 --> 00:06:57,750 Well everyone go to the end and make the offset for example 1200 is going to be speedy but it's OK. 100 00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:02,400 So you know this how it's going to open the keyframes That's very beautiful. 101 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,630 Now we will do that but we want to add something else. 102 00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:11,730 So we're going to take all construction and drop it here and maybe we will use this logo. 103 00:07:11,730 --> 00:07:15,090 So what I have to do is to create a mask. 104 00:07:15,090 --> 00:07:20,850 Those are several options here and this mosque we take it down make it smaller. 105 00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:22,370 You notice how I'm playing with it. 106 00:07:22,590 --> 00:07:25,860 This is using the modifiers keys fine. 107 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:32,800 And after that I press control ultimate and home to bring the anchor point just in the middle of this 108 00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:34,380 of call. 109 00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:35,910 Now we have two layers. 110 00:07:35,910 --> 00:07:41,030 We select both of them and we are going to align them center vertically and horizontally. 111 00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:42,530 Now this is my shape player. 112 00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:46,160 After some time of course I will have the other player coming in. 113 00:07:46,290 --> 00:07:55,620 So I will put the construction here open the scale scale it a 0 and then when the circle is opening. 114 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,940 For example is opening up to here before I start rotating. 115 00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:03,660 I would try to make this one you know just inside the circle. 116 00:08:04,020 --> 00:08:08,030 Let's run our animation and see what we have achieved that looks beautiful by the way. 117 00:08:08,340 --> 00:08:10,380 And you are very simply. 118 00:08:10,380 --> 00:08:13,180 Another thing that I will add here is the rotation. 119 00:08:13,410 --> 00:08:19,650 I play shift are to get the rotation for the circle come in the beginning here and put the rotation 120 00:08:19,650 --> 00:08:20,990 at zero that's OK. 121 00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:24,680 Come back here and move a bit more and put dilatation at one. 122 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:25,400 OK. 123 00:08:25,410 --> 00:08:29,960 This is our small tricks but they make you an animation a bit nice. 124 00:08:30,050 --> 00:08:30,330 OK. 125 00:08:30,330 --> 00:08:34,080 The rotation is too much but it's OK fine let's look at it. 126 00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:37,980 Now you see instead of putting a simple circle you just put the dots. 127 00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:43,450 The dots are growing very nicely and coming up and this the logo is rotating. 128 00:08:43,710 --> 00:08:47,810 So this is one way to use the stroke and to animate the stroke. 129 00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:53,240 We animated the colors the opacity of the stroke the stroke with itself. 130 00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:58,940 And we played with the round cup and both Gap and stories like this and you will have the offset to 131 00:08:58,940 --> 00:09:00,330 rotate at 100 percent. 132 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,310 Of course you could have used the rotation. 133 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:06,410 I prefer to use the offset because it's all inclusive of the player. 134 00:09:06,660 --> 00:09:14,700 So not the layer not transformation here because the transformation I might use them for something else 135 00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:18,970 you know use parenting or use the null object to do something. 136 00:09:19,050 --> 00:09:25,980 So it's much better to start rotating the dots or the dashes with the offset then rotate them with the 137 00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:31,500 layer itself or even rotate them with the transform of the shape player. 138 00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,590 Here we have transform elipse. 139 00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:37,590 See you in the next lecture with the morning for me. 140 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:39,180 See you in the next lecture. 141 00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:42,490 For more techniques about how to name it. 142 00:09:42,660 --> 00:09:46,820 And then we will move on to do great and projects and great admissions. 143 00:09:47,010 --> 00:09:48,080 Thank you for listening.
