Guys I hope you're doing very well in this section of pre-sets and in this lecture we are going to learn
how to create a preset and any mission preset and how to save it and then how to recall it to use it
on different items of different objects or different layers.
And that will be quite powerful mainly if you're doing a project you might want the same to be applied
on different layers or different circumstances and change just a bit.
So let's start the first thing I want to do is to read the effect here with this effect and we are line
our layers on the beginning here.
Now in fact simply said we have seen control.
So I'm going to use here slider control slider control is very easy to use.
You don't have to worry about it just take it or drop it on the layer.
Now slider control has a slider.
It slides from zero to a certain value let's say 100 or you can slide it from negative to positive.
It doesn't matter.
You can come and change the values you call.
So now we have our slide that lets you name it.
We are going to say is that my preset number one.
OK that's your first visit Good.
Now I tried putting the slider control let's look for transform.
And here it is here we click and we drop it over the left.
Now I have the slider and I have transform as usual you can just put transform in-between brackets to
indicate that this is dependent on the present.
When we come to scale here you have uniform scale we don't want uniform scale because we might change
this.
So it's better to have the scale height and the scale with.
Now we can start framing the scale height and scale.
But what will be better is to use expressions and using expressions not about writing them is just about
using the whip and that's it.
So our press alternate and press are click on the scale height.
It is one value here that I need.
I will take the big leap and drop it on the slider.
OK fine.
So this is the first one then I will take the scale with open the expression and take that B.
Pick me up and drop it on the slider again.
I separated the scale height and the scale with no notice the scale height and width required each a
single value.
So it's not like scale which requires two values.
Now I will go to the slider.
I will give frame here 0 come after one second and keyframe it at 100.
I will just type one hand here and that's it.
Now if you look at the animation it's pretty cool.
Now I'm using the scale height and the scale with and it seems like it's all being you know like a proportional
scale fight.
This is very nice but I want to add more.
I will go and the blur effect.
So there is something called fast blur.
It's very easy to use.
Also you don't have to worry I would take fast blood and just drop it on the arraigning later.
Now fast bowler also depends on the single value.
So I will board on the stopwatch press as the net and open the expression take the pick me up and drop
it on the slider as simple as this.
OK but now there is a problem because this will grow.
So the blood will go from zero to 100.
Not exactly what we want.
So Ill come here and write an expression we could do that or we can play with the slider values here.
But the best way and you have learned in the previous section is write the expression linear.
So that is linear.
So it's working on the slider this like that will go from zero to 100.
So it will go from zero to 100.
Now when it is 0 I want you give it the value for example of 65 when it is 100.
I want to give you the value zero.
And here you are.
So it's so easy if we take the slider value it goes from 0 to 100 and the blood to go from sixty five.
That's very high blood to zero no blood at all.
And let's run our animation make it short up to here and the solid area you notice is scaling up and
it's blurring out you say or blurring.
In fact that's about it's OK let's add something more.
You know it's too easy let's do something else.
Let's go to rotation.
Same same.
I'm going to do like this.
I'm going to press the net and stopwatch.
It will open the rotation.
I will take it and drop it on the slider.
Now of course this will go from zero to 100.
It's not good for me.
What that will do I will also use linear.
You'll notice how linear is a very important expression.
And when the slider goes from 0 to 100 I want the image to rotate from 0 to 360 a full rotation tool
area.
Let's play it.
And now it is turning and coming in and blurring and so on.
Fantastic.
So I have the effect here.
That's my effect that's doing three things at the same time because come here to fast blurry you name
it.
OK.
We'll put it in between Black has to say OK it depends on the other.
So how is it.
I'm just using the whip to create the expressions and to make it as simple as possible there is no magic
here.
Now I want to save that effect if I come here and say save selected effects.
I have to select the three of them for example at Pest Control to select the three of them.
That's good but that is better.
Let's close this to see them all fine.
I will come to affect just choose the effect and make sure that inside I have the three effect that
I would find.
I would come to effects.
I go to animation and see save animation presets.
So I'm taking effects and putting sliders and putting control and putting one single frame.
And now I want to save a preset.
I hope you get the understanding.
Here we take the effects we work on them and then we save.
And then the mission Pres..
I would say safe now in the safe here it will go to a very good directory.
It does support under the directory or under the folder of Adobe After Effects.
There is support that is be said there is behavior.
Well I don't want that.
I will go to preset.
I will make a new directory here or a new folder say folder and I will say yes.
And I call it my presets.
As simple as this.
Now this directory or this folder is protected.
I'm calling it directory because this is the old name for folders you know.
The folder is a new name.
When we started on those operating system it was called directory.
I am sure you saw it some places.
So now I have here a folder called preset in this folder I'm going to call my preset for example scale
the blur and I wrote that.
I I'm going to save save.
Actually it's giving me an error.
Why is giving me an error and I'm going to show this one because this is a protected directory so what
I need to do is to remove all the protection from preset or double click on preset and go to properties.
And go to our security and in the security here I would say for example this me the administrator and
this is a user I would say edit and make.
Allow me to you know change and do all the changes that I want.
Here you are of course if using a Mac system now maybe the menus is a bit different.
You will have to remove the security here and allow writing in this folder.
That's pretty easy.
It isn't but it's no big deal.
I don't know how to do it on the Mac by the way.
So I'm showing you only on Windows.
I will say save an area on my preset safe.
Now what is amazing about this.
It does give it some time.
What is this time for.
It is reading the ethics implicit and staking time if I can totally mention playsets now.
And I open it.
I will see here my presets.
Here we are.
If I tear down my presets I will see scale blur and wrote it.
So all I have to do now is to take my preset here and drop it.
Let's use for example these laughs.
We will come to this later.
And you know returning to its initial value the same for this one return it.
Look if we have any preset by pressing it we have one preset here we come to effect and deleted it.
So we have nothing now.
Let's make sure it's running very nice.
So we come here nothing absolutely nothing just the two layers coming on top of each other.
So now we'll take our preset or the piece that you have done you have created and we drop it on the
unsorted layer that's all that is it give us all the work we have done.
It has the three effects here.
And if I press spacebar it is playing very nicely no hassle nothing.
So if I wanted to use this one as a break for example in a sequence of videos that I'm doing I will
create that be said of course I would make it a very sophisticated one and just plug it in or drop it
in in every single word.
I want this transition and it's happening.
So let's recap a bit.
How do you do a reset.
First of all you create the preset meaning you enter maybe a slider.
OK.
And then you put the transform or any other preset that you want from here.
Then you can enter the blurred blurb we can use simulation stylize whatever.
And if it does texture we can use all the decks that you want.
And also you can use the animation presets here.
For example you could have used the behaviour's here and put it on the layers so you have another piece
that here and also compiled them all in one single animation.
He said that you will save so the field is open and it is up to your imagination to create something
that is really valuable for your work.
Now usually what will happen is all these are listed in your folder my presets if you made that folder
the way I would do it is to create a folder for the presets for the project and I will call that folder
in the name of the project and use this presets.
So use the presets create your own presets made them very sophisticated.
Try to use everything that's here.
I'm not saying this is advanced.
This is actually very easy.
I've seen how I created it and all we use is the creep.
Maybe you could have used all the keyframes that you want.
And I hope you learned a lot here and now you are very familiar with the presets in the next section.
We move on to effects and we see how beautiful it become using them.
Thank you very much for listening and I will see you in the next lecture.
