1
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,840
So in our last video, we took 

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,800
a look at the transform tools 

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,080
and basic keyframes, 

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,760
and so just to recap, 

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,600
we moved one of our layers 

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,040
- the drone layer 

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,320
from the left side of the screen 

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,120
into the centre to reveal it. 

9
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,800
And then we used the easy's 

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:23,880
key frame animation 

11
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,480
to smooth the movement down at the end.

12
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:28,440
So I'll just quickly go 

13
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,920
through the keyboard shortcuts 

14
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,240
for all of the transform tools, 

15
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,120
which we failed to mention 

16
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,600
in the last video. 

17
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,880
If you hit U on your keyboard 

18
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,840
with a layer selected, 

19
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:36,440
that will bring up 

20
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,720
all of the key frames on that layer. 

21
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,160
If we hit P, it shows position.

22
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,400
If we hit S, it brings up the scale.

23
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,240
If we press T, it brings up the opacity.

24
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,880
A is for anchor point

25
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,760
and R is for rotation.

26
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,600
So in this video, what we're going to do 

27
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,080
is take a look at creating 

28
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,280
some shape layers 

29
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,600
and using once again 

30
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,120
the transform tools and some key 

31
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,000
framing to move that shape. 

32
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,720
So what I'm going to do to start off with 

33
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:10,840
is I'm just going 

34
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,200
to delete our layers here 

35
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,080
just so I've got a clean 

36
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,280
canvas to work from. 

37
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:17,920
So I'm going to use 

38
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,320
the rectangle shape tool 

39
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:21,000
or the rounded rectangle tool 

40
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:21,800
in this instance 

41
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,360
by dropping down our shape tool

42
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,640
and just hitting rounded rectangle tool.

43
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,480
So with nothing selected, 

44
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,280
I'm going to simply draw 

45
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,240
a rectangle 

46
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,440
on our composition. 

47
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,120
Up here now you'll see

48
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,200
we have some properties for our shape.

49
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,280
We have our fill, 

50
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,560
which is what's filled in 

51
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,320
the shape and stroke, 

52
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,200
which is on the outer of our shape.

53
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,240
So for this instance, 

54
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,640
I don't want any color at all, 

55
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,760
but I could change that color 

56
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240
simply by clicking on the color

57
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,120
that's already there 

58
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,400
and then changing the color as so.

59
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,240
But to change it from fill no fill

60
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,560
you click next to the color 

61
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,080
on the word fill. 

62
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,400
Then you'll have these properties pop up. 

63
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,560
You have none. 

64
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:12,920
The solid color, which is what it is 

65
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,240
now, a linear gradient over

66
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,960
radial gradient. 

67
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,880
So I'm going to choose non, click OK.

68
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,280
And now on the stroke, as we can see,

69
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,240
there is slightly a blue stroke.

70
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,680
I'm just going to increase the pixels

71
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,600
ever so slightly to about twelve like so.

72
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,560
In the colour again, 

73
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,120
we can change it by clicking the box

74
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,280
and simply dragging that 

75
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,640
around, I'm going to go for

76
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:49,520
a bit of a brighter blue like that

77
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,000
and as previously 

78
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
discussed in earlier videos 

79
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,640
I'm going to hit V on my keyboard 

80
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:54,760
to go back to my selection tool. 

81
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,160
So 

82
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,760
I'm going to click Control Alt and home

83
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,000
to put my anchor point 

84
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,720
if you remember into 

85
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,440
the center of my layer 

86
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,080
and then control 

87
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,480
and home to center in my composition.

88
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,200
So just as before, 

89
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,480
I want to change the position 

90
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,120
of this over time 

91
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,960
and how I'm going to do that. 

92
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,640
Is by hitting P on my keyboard 

93
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,000
to bring up the position tool. 

94
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,640
I'm going to click 

95
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:20,640
the stopwatch next 

96
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,040
to position to set a key frame 

97
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,520
to where I want it to finally end up, 

98
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,280
which is just around there, 

99
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,000
come back a little bit 

100
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,160
and then drag my position down.

101
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,360
Something else I'm going to include, 

102
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,080
which I didn't show you 

103
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,840
last time is motion blur. 

104
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,280
What Motion Blur does 

105
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,000
is essentially blurs motion 

106
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,680
so that it looks more realistic 

107
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,160
and doesn't have a sort of 

108
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,280
choppy feel to it. 

109
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,880
So this little icon here 

110
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,480
turns motion blur on 

111
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,560
or off, and you'll see 

112
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,800
within the composition there 

113
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,840
what difference that is 

114
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,280
making to the movement. 

115
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,240
So it starts off at bottom 

116
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,400
and ends up in the center. 

117
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,200
That's perfect. 

118
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,720
And again, I'm going to highlight 

119
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,520
these key frames 

120
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,240
and fit F9 on my keyboard 

121
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,320
to easy ease them, 

122
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,320
go into my graph 

123
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,680
editor and just drag that a little bit

124
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,080
to smoothen it out towards the end. 

125
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,960
So that's looking fine. 

126
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,840
That's just as I want it. 

127
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:20,680
Next up, I'm going to use the type tool 

128
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,400
which we looked at in 

129
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,480
one of our previous videos 

130
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,920
and create some text within my box. 

131
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,520
So I'm going to click 

132
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,160
the horizontal type tool.

133
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,480
Click in my composition 

134
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,360
and type 

135
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,560
typography, 

136
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,320
so I control a to highlight 

137
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,920
all my typography, and over here 

138
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,000
you'll see the character window 

139
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,240
is popped up, so here 

140
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,400
I can change my font, 

141
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,800
my font family, my colors,

142
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,960
kerning, leading capitalization,

143
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,280
line spacing, everything 

144
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:54,480
you can normally change 

145
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,880
within your character properties, 

146
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,520
so I need to select my layer

147
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,640
hit V on my keyboard, 

148
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,400
and I'm just going to 

149
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,120
move it within my box, 

150
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,480
turn caps lock off. 

151
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,880
So what we can do now is

152
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,320
we can put our title safe on.

153
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,680
And again, hit control 

154
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,400
ALT home on our keyboard 

155
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,480
to centre the anchor point

156
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,560
and then control home to ensure

157
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,040
it's perfectly in the center. 

158
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,360
That's looking great. 

159
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,920
So the only issue you have now, 

160
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,760
is the box moves. Our text doesn't.

161
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,360
Now we could copy these key frames 

162
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,080
onto our typography layer, 

163
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,800
but I'm not going to do that. 

164
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,560
Well, I'm going to do 

165
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,120
is something called parenting 

166
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,720
and that basically parents 

167
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,880
one layer to another. 

168
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,760
So it takes on the same characteristics 

169
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,160
and same properties as that layer.

170
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,320
So in a way which we can do 

171
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,720
this in this dropdown menu 

172
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,920
next to parent and link, 

173
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,880
we can drop this down 

174
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,520
and we can click the Shape Lab 

175
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,440
because we want our typography layer 

176
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,640
to take on the properties 

177
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,400
of our shape layer. 

178
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,360
What I'm going to do 

179
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,800
is click on the parents pick quip

180
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,640
and simply click on the shape

181
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,560
layer as so, just drag 

182
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,640
and drop on to the shape layer.

183
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,600
And now what we'll find. 

184
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,160
Is that our text is within our box

185
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,200
and it takes on the exact 

186
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,760
same properties. 

187
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,200
As the box position movement. 

188
