1 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:13,760 Hello and welcome to the ninth video in this after effects tutorial series, 2 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,520 after the last video we left it where we just finished masking our text 3 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,040 behind the guitar and imported another asset into our project. 4 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,200 So what I want to do is I wanted to add some moving graphics 5 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,040 just in this gap here next to the word music. 6 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,320 So what we're going to do is we're going to pop it into the pre comp. 7 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,040 So let's open this up 8 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,040 and we'll drag our graphic in 9 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,560 as we can see, it fills the frame, which is not what we want. 10 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,200 So ensuring we have a graphic highlighted hit S for scale 11 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,000 and bring the scale down, 12 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,080 and I'll just use my wheel on my mouse to zoom in. 13 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,160 And then I'm going to mask this out just like we did before, but this time 14 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,640 I'm going to use the pen tool where the shortcut can be G. 15 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,320 So just going to mask two of these out here 16 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:18,240 just to get rid of that other one. 17 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,920 Scale them down just a little bit more 18 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:29,040 and place this just 19 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:40,160 next to our music. 20 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,720 So let me go in to our competition now we can see 21 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,000 if we play this back they're there, it's fine, 22 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,080 it's all tracked but at the start we can see they didn't 23 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:59,000 take on the position properties that we first put on to 24 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,040 both our box and our text so lest go back into our precomposition, 25 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,160 and if we remember correctly, we have to parent this layer 26 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,840 to our main layer so that it follows the position properties of that shape. 27 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,640 So again, we'll pick whip this down to the shape layer. 28 00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:18,800 And now it follows that motion, 29 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,760 not forgetting to add our motion blur as well so there we go. 30 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,640 You'll notice as well. I just used this toggle switches and modes down here, and if we click 31 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:34,400 this can actually change what's called the blending mode. 32 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,880 And what a blending mode does 33 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,960 is it controls how each layer blends or interacts with layers beneath it. 34 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,040 So for our musical layer here with these graphs, 35 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,880 I want to change this to something called screen. 36 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,200 Now, what screen does is it multiplies the compliments of the channel values 37 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,080 and takes the compliment of the results, 38 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,440 and the color is never darker than the input color. 39 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,400 So if you're trying to get rid 40 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,200 of a black background, as I'm doing here as we can see, 41 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,440 these have a black background. 42 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,520 I'm trying to remove that from the next composition. So 43 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,720 here we go. Looks absolutely perfect. 44 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,440 There's no black backgrounds on them. 45 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,280 Anything I'm not quite sure of is the scale and the color. 46 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,440 So let's go back into our precomposition I'm just going to scale down 47 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,160 just a little bit more, maybe 15%. 48 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,440 Move them over a little bit. 49 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,040 Then I'm going to go over to our effects and presets. 50 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,160 Type in tint, I'm going to tint 51 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,520 the color of these volume tabs 52 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,640 just a little bit and I want it to match the blue of our text. 53 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,800 So within the tint properties over in our effects control here 54 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,360 can actually map the color to the same as our music text 55 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,760 by using this little eyedropper here. 56 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,840 I'm going to click on the blue and now we can see we've changed it to blue. 57 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,360 Now I don't want it to be perfectly that I'm just going to 58 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,520 bring the amount down just a little bit. 59 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,200 So it's got a little bit of that red just in the dots there. 60 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,880 Head back to my composition and there we go. 61 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,520 I'm really, really happy with that. 62 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:21,680 So let's play this sequence of back. 63 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,200 OK, I'm going to add a little bit more to this, it's it's OK, 64 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,760 but we could do a touch more to these volumetric graphics here. 65 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,520 I'm going to get back into our precomposition hit T for opacity 66 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,200 and I'm just going to manually change the opacity over time on 67 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,040 just the volume graphics just by going through a couple of frames 68 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,320 and just having it sort of glitch on and off 69 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,440 just by moving forward and changing the values 70 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,040 just so it looks like it glitches onto the screen 71 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,640 rather than following 72 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:04,040 a formulaic pattern like everything else. 73 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,320 And let's see what that looks like. 74 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,560 Glitches on and off giving it a little bit more life. 75 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,840 And now we have it. 76 00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:16,400 There's our final composition. 77 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,120 So what I'll do in the next video is I'll show you how to render this out 78 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,200 so you can use it on any platform that you wish.
