1 00:00:01,170 --> 00:00:07,920 Guys and welcome to this new lecture in 3-D in After Effects camera tool we have seen a lot of animations 2 00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:13,950 about the camera and how to make the camera but you have to admit that animating the camera is not so 3 00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:14,580 easy. 4 00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:22,080 But there is a simple solution that I will always use that will render all these animations very easy 5 00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:23,330 and very simple. 6 00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:28,310 First of all let's go create a new camera for the sake here. 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,360 I'm going to take a 35 millimeter which is already there. 8 00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:39,000 And I look at my dimensions that OK no problem with any changes now animating the camera if you come 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,680 to transform you will have the transformations but ok. 10 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,710 It's quite hard. 11 00:00:43,740 --> 00:00:44,610 What do we do. 12 00:00:44,610 --> 00:00:49,880 First of all I want to show you that if you change layers here the camera wireframe disappears. 13 00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:52,520 How to make it appear all the time. 14 00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:59,200 You can do composition here you click and you say View Options has very many options and I bet they're 15 00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:00,650 all addicted. 16 00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:03,260 One option is camera wireframe. 17 00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:08,000 Just make sure it is on the camera wireframe are always on. 18 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,980 If you choose the camera there are other layers. 19 00:01:11,370 --> 00:01:14,600 Now they come out of wire frames are always on. 20 00:01:14,810 --> 00:01:18,180 Let's go to a camera right click and we see the option camera here. 21 00:01:18,210 --> 00:01:22,700 We have five fantastic presets create stereo 3D rig. 22 00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:29,450 Now you don't want to be in classic 3-D you have to be weightless 3D which is hard on your computer. 23 00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:33,690 There really a huge memory to make it work and still it will be slow. 24 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,330 There is the Create orbit and link focus. 25 00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:41,040 This is the point of interest and other options that we will see later maybe in this course but that 26 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,740 explained thoroughly in my 3D animation course. 27 00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:51,900 Let's use now create albeit not in my 3D animation course I have explained how to create this by yourself 28 00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:53,310 and not use option. 29 00:01:53,310 --> 00:01:55,610 It will teach you exactly how it works. 30 00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:59,540 For now we just want to jump to the result using that option. 31 00:01:59,730 --> 00:02:04,620 Another layer has being created and the camera has been presented to the lab. 32 00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:10,730 Now of course with that we can still do animations with the camera using the transform. 33 00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:15,810 And of course we need the properties and you cannot make the camera invisible by the way you have to 34 00:02:15,810 --> 00:02:16,450 make it visible. 35 00:02:16,450 --> 00:02:18,330 Otherwise nothing will work. 36 00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:24,240 The null now has a fantastic animation when you come to the transform it is the same animations that 37 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,100 you can see in a normal 3D. 38 00:02:26,190 --> 00:02:32,880 But watch this if you rotate the Y for example you notice how the animation in the Active Camera is 39 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,110 being rotated. 40 00:02:34,170 --> 00:02:38,670 The camera is rotating and its point of interest also is rotating. 41 00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:44,970 That's one if you the Zed rotation not just the rotations are really nice but this one to zero. 42 00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:48,680 Now the road conditions are like normal and we are used to them. 43 00:02:49,050 --> 00:02:55,600 And of course you can use the x rotation and that is flipping the laya. 44 00:02:55,650 --> 00:03:00,810 Now orientation I don't advise you to use it but the position is pretty easy. 45 00:03:00,810 --> 00:03:08,290 Now you are panning and you are piling up a rise of course you're zooming in and out the way you want. 46 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,910 Let's start creating an animation with the Lulla that will be interesting. 47 00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:17,630 So we can frame the position let's go to one second first. 48 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:23,940 So that's up final position give the position from X Y and zed for example. 49 00:03:23,950 --> 00:03:29,160 That we still have an animation here and things might not go the way we want but we will adjust them 50 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,350 and let's come to position. 51 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:33,080 For example we can pan it down. 52 00:03:33,210 --> 00:03:35,000 That's one even more. 53 00:03:35,380 --> 00:03:41,660 OK so now we have a simple animation where they come and they set and it's quite interesting already. 54 00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:49,530 If you notice now but that as well coming from the border of the rectangle it could have been even better. 55 00:03:49,570 --> 00:03:56,460 Well it starts let's give it a rotation of 45 degree 45 degree for example you notice that what's happening 56 00:03:56,460 --> 00:03:58,760 here we can see everything that's happening. 57 00:03:58,770 --> 00:04:03,700 Let's give it a wide rotation of minus 45 just to make things work. 58 00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:11,390 And there's the rotation maybe we leave it with is and then we take this and we push it out this way. 59 00:04:11,550 --> 00:04:12,570 Now everything is out. 60 00:04:12,690 --> 00:04:15,210 Let's turn our animation and see now. 61 00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:15,990 This is cool. 62 00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:24,330 And you notice how it has become very easy to use the 3-D animation for the camera just to point you 63 00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:31,650 that the text layers do not contain any animation in 3-D just have their own simple animation and there 64 00:04:31,650 --> 00:04:33,950 are animated Now in addition with the camera. 65 00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:40,650 You can come and edit the motion path and you have the choice either as it did in the active camera 66 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,590 here or you can add it in the awesome view. 67 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,780 I prefer to edit it in the custom view. 68 00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:52,920 We'll just zoom in and just grab the first visit to here and the second one it's over here. 69 00:04:52,930 --> 00:04:57,980 Then I will put it back to 100 percent so I can see them now you know anything from here are changing 70 00:04:57,990 --> 00:05:00,650 the pod from here is much nicer than Shinnie from me. 71 00:05:00,770 --> 00:05:05,200 You are seeing a perspective and you're almost seeing how it's going to happen. 72 00:05:05,790 --> 00:05:06,810 That's not bad. 73 00:05:06,810 --> 00:05:07,880 It's a cool one. 74 00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:12,800 Of course you can come in and give it to all your keyframes. 75 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,810 OK. 76 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,800 And let's try to change that. 77 00:05:15,810 --> 00:05:19,340 It is much nicer and I want to make it look like this. 78 00:05:19,410 --> 00:05:20,830 See exactly what happens. 79 00:05:20,830 --> 00:05:25,050 I press spacebar to play it now but it's OK. 80 00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:30,330 So you need also to work on the keyframes in the next day or so. 81 00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:32,100 It comes more interesting. 82 00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:33,920 So now what do we learn in 3-D. 83 00:05:33,930 --> 00:05:42,300 We learned how to animate in 3-D how to create keyframes in 3D how to use the orbital and how to create 84 00:05:42,330 --> 00:05:50,580 animations using either the normal animations of X-Y rotation and the position and the plan or create 85 00:05:51,210 --> 00:05:54,200 a camera in orbit and do more animation. 86 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,820 So imagine the possibilities that you have to do. 87 00:05:56,820 --> 00:06:01,730 The only thing stopping you from creating fantastic animations is exercise. 88 00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:05,380 You need to come and try to figure out how things are working for you. 89 00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:09,200 Come back to this lecture once more and twice whatever it needed. 90 00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:12,180 But it is not all about me talking about you. 91 00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:16,680 Exercising and it's important if you really want to learn 3-D in aftereffects. 92 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,920 In fact if we want to learn after effect it's very important that you can and do the exercises do the 93 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,780 challenges that I'm giving you. 94 00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:28,560 Create something new invent things in terms of motion graphics. 95 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,470 I know give you a lot of techniques a lot of methods in 3D and so on to work with. 96 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,780 Now it's important that maybe at this point in the course you stop a bit and go out and start doing 97 00:06:39,780 --> 00:06:42,480 your first animation whatever it is. 98 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,670 It really doesn't matter. 99 00:06:43,860 --> 00:06:47,700 But make a full sequence of at least 10 seconds. 100 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,530 So you know what you learn and practice then you will have the chance to come back to this course see 101 00:06:52,530 --> 00:06:56,860 exactly what you missed what you didn't miss and maybe review everything else. 102 00:06:56,940 --> 00:07:00,180 See you in the next lecture and thanks very much for listening.
