00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:07,690

Hi Guys welcome to this new lecture and to this new section even we are going to look at character animation.



2

00:00:07,690 --> 00:00:13,140

The animation is about animating a character at a time or a bunch of characters at the time.



3

00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:18,080

And it's not about animating the whole letter but really Misha is very much used.



4

00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:23,580

You must you know grasp it and understand it and use it as much as possible.



5

00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,720

It's not outdated.



6

00:00:24,740 --> 00:00:31,190

If you work with all the properties that you have you will be able to do so many beautiful animations



7

00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:37,280

and I want in this section to make sure that you are really very familiar with bare correct animation



8

00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,090

which is very important in aftereffects.



9

00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:45,840

Now you're not is that when we create a shape player we use to use the transformation here which were



10

00:00:45,870 --> 00:00:51,810

a transformation of the whole layer and all the characters together you know that's how we rotate.



11

00:00:51,890 --> 00:00:54,210

And we had opacity and stories like this.



12

00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:55,590

Let's reset this one.



13

00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,090

But now we have another option that is inside the enemy here.



14

00:01:00,110 --> 00:01:04,300

If you click on the arrow next to animate you'll find that you have several sections.



15

00:01:04,370 --> 00:01:07,520

One of them the first one is enabled overcorrected 3D.



16

00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:10,880

Then you have the properties here anchor point position.



17

00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:18,020

This is where you can do animation with the position properties meaning the spatial properties and you



18

00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:20,810

have here the field color and the stroke.



19

00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:25,810

You have also the tracking the line anchor line spacing is about bringing character together and so



20

00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:26,220

on.



21

00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,430

You have two amusing ones that you'll see later and you have the famous block.



22

00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:37,670

Now how do you use this when we first go to animate and to give you a good example.



23

00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:40,000

I'm going to use the full color fill color.



24

00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,270

RG I could use another one.



25

00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:46,310

Now let's show the color here because I know you can't see red very well.



26

00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:48,820

I hope this is a better color.



27

00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:49,590

What happened here.



28

00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:55,850

It created an animator for me so I had it and then immediately using the odd and it has a range selector



29

00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:57,090

and has a full color.



30

00:01:57,210 --> 00:02:04,340

The color is the property that we are going to animate using the range selector and that is very important.



31

00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:09,440

The race director will determine how the color is going to be animated.



32

00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:16,550

Now that is something else all my characters turn into the fill color that I chose and also I have two



33

00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:21,610

kind of handles here one on the left and one on the right that will see how they work.



34

00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:28,020

If I open the red selector we are brought back to the start and an offset is the same concept as the



35

00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:36,830

impasse and other styles inside the shape players remember the offset paths and so on and so on.



36

00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:38,460

So how does it work.



37

00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,740

The start is scrubbing the letters from left to right.



38

00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:45,080

So this is your start just like that.



39

00:02:45,170 --> 00:02:51,410

So the real selector will work on the field color like we said the START starts from the left and goes



40

00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:52,390

to the right.



41

00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,600

Now you notice how they are coming back to white.



42

00:02:55,610 --> 00:03:04,310

So if the start is at 35 percent it means 35 percent of the characters are not selected to achieve the



43

00:03:04,310 --> 00:03:06,910

full color that they're putting or the property.



44

00:03:06,980 --> 00:03:12,480

If I take it to zero now all of them are selected so 0 percent is the selected I'm going to talk about



45

00:03:12,490 --> 00:03:14,120

selected the selected a lot.



46

00:03:14,130 --> 00:03:16,490

But tragically it is very easy.



47

00:03:16,490 --> 00:03:21,800

Now in the end or day and operate the different way from the other side.



48

00:03:21,950 --> 00:03:30,500

Now I can see that like 77 of the characters are selected and the 23 percent is not selected.



49

00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:36,770

So that is the end and start Also you can look here you have some kind of selector that you can move



50

00:03:36,770 --> 00:03:37,460

around.



51

00:03:37,460 --> 00:03:44,720

This is the start selector You know I start because the arrow is pointing towards or inside the player



52

00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,470

the text.



53

00:03:45,530 --> 00:03:49,670

And you have the and selector here you can move them by hand and decide what to do.



54

00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:55,520

So this is the start and the end the offset operates a bit differently We'll see about that.



55

00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:02,370

So it's kind of sad left and right and we can create quite some nice animation using wrap up wrap.



56

00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,950

Let's do a simple animation here with click on the start for example.



57

00:04:06,950 --> 00:04:14,570

And we go to half second and we make it 100 percent so now they start in and of course we'll work on



58

00:04:14,570 --> 00:04:15,290

the full color.



59

00:04:15,290 --> 00:04:16,420

This is the property.



60

00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:23,840

If you play it you are going from the color of the property which is yellow to the original color.



61

00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:24,790

Now here you are.



62

00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:26,230

This is the first animation.



63

00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:28,660

Let's do the other way around.



64

00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:34,850

Let's use the end with the frame and here put it at 0 for example go in the middle and put it at 100



65

00:04:34,850 --> 00:04:35,720

percent.



66

00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:43,260

So they are now coming from the same side but using the and if you reverse the keyframes system time



67

00:04:43,290 --> 00:04:48,950

was keyframes then it will work the other way around and it would go from the end to the B.



68

00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:54,390

So in short what have we learned that you can add an animator or a property if you want.



69

00:04:54,540 --> 00:05:01,320

You see here can the property I can choose from all these properties the property will be it and they're



70

00:05:01,570 --> 00:05:08,030

selected for this property or similar properties also will operate from start and an offset.



71

00:05:08,050 --> 00:05:14,860

And that's it is so simple but yet extremely powerful in the next lecture we will use other properties



72

00:05:14,860 --> 00:05:20,170

such as position scale and skew and we see how to work with them.



73

00:05:20,170 --> 00:05:21,010

Thanks for listening.



74

00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:22,100

I'll see you in the next lecture.
