Hello friends, today I have prepared for you and additional lesson today, I will be just narrator and all of the things that is going to happen on the screen will be done by my girlfriend. I did it to show you that everybody is able to start motion design with a good teacher or with the correct approach for study, even session design, even session numbers see if I will name it 10 itself please don't pay attention okay. Firstly, let the what will be the result of today's lesson, select after effects. Aha. So here is it. It is a stache title.

We're going to use footages that I brought to the lesson and so you can find it in general in the materials behind the video and download them from here. Let's go. Yes, let's go make an E composition. New Project then bring here the footages yes search search brushstroke, select all the images and grab and move them to the project. Get it? Yeah, what we're going to do next, we create a new composition, composition new composition, naming brush.

Why now? Let's leave all the settings by default because it is just less than five seconds is not. Yes. Okay. And this composition I'm going to make a stylish transition for the text. So we make a rectangular shape.

In the center of the big of the preview window select the rectangular mask to left click selected and draw rectangular in the center of the competition. Yes, vertical one is good for us. Okay, so the next step is to recover the shape by the prepared footages. We will do randomly politically. Let's start to any footage as you like. First one and bring it to the timeline.

Let's turn on. Okay, here is an Item button is doing everything faster than I'm explaining but yes here is an icon like a chess board that turns up a background that is used in After Effects by default. Now you see the whole and then move this ladder to the moment when you see it completely. And after start to bring in other footages to cover the rectangular almost Completely should they leave the size? Yes you can but let's press S on the keypad s okay and decrease the size of the hole is about five six footages is kind of this I will start from the top. Okay, I think that everyone will be able to cover this dangler as you can duplicate it Ctrl D and change the rotation or position okay rotate, use rotation tool or press W on the keyboard rotate over 100 180 or 360 actually this is now algorithm.

So, we should recover this rectangular randomly duplicate, rotate, scale and change position Can I add another footages? Yeah, sure you need to do it to add the diversity scale as rotate everything is gonna pretty good. I think that you will cave with this problem for fastly and easily let's not rotate like like this one. Yeah, but maybe more sharp corners. Isn't okay. Okay, so please do it is like it's a creative task actually.

You can keep with it by itself. Mm hmm. It is the game that one can see background behind it. footages Is it okay Have a look. I think that we should call it to read To support and add one more might be the first footage, please rotate and move it a bit up. Is it okay?

Yeah. What should we do next? We need the footages appear and not at the same moment, but in turn. What time do we need to appear? I think in a second, so just move the beginning of every footage randomly. Got it?

I think that the last is too late. So let's be quick here. I think it is it. Yeah, perfect. So next now let's let all the footages by shift. Yeah, Dan is doing By shift or you can do just with the help of mouse cursor.

Really? Yeah, sure. Press T on the keyboard and here you can see a positive modifications. Yes. And now let's let the value be a two five. Perfect.

And now let's precompose this footages layer precompose Yes, name it one. Okay. Next, we should duplicate this layer. Control plus d. Yes and more these layer over 10 frames and rotated 90 degrees to the left or right. Okay, and how can I do it? rotation w on the keyboard.

It is too much. Yes, let's play the animation and and set up two seconds. Length two seconds. Okay, maybe we should move a second footage up because now we have a black spots in the middle but it will be better to leave some red parts over here. Yes, this way seems like the sample of transition is ready and let's turn to another part. Let's delete the red rectangle arc because we don't need it anymore.

And we're going to make a new composition. So delete shape, by shape, by shape, and Next, make any composition where the text will be stated and name it. Okay, text. Press OK. And using text to it is the icon with the letter T on the bottle by the text. Let it be the word mad. Then select cursor tool and select map.

Now you can edit the text is B, yes the size and put it to the center of the preview to tune the position to be differently in the central you can select. Is it here? Yes. And the first line please. And with the help of this great you can tune the position to be in the center. Let's turn to another tab.

The liberals will come inside not at the same time but separately. So we should count the numbers of letters Stanek, can I handle it? 123 Okay, and duplicate the text, the same time as the number of letters. Oh, no, it should be free. There's got it. Next week.

Cut each letter using rectangle a two. Yes. And my mask you should cut it. First, that M, second letter A and that letter D. You see that the third mask covers letter A. Is it serious? Yes.

Let's do unit select console, then click on the letter D. And now you can add the mask. Is it okay? Perfect. Let's name the letters in the project. Select the first layer and press enter. Then press M okay.

And oh that is the same. Okay. It is a routine but I should do it. Okay, what is next, we have a sample of the transition brush. So bring to the project. Take a slider and put it the way when tradition will be on the screen.

It is yes now it's too big unleaded the smaller scale yes and do the size like the letters are? Right? Yes. And let the brush be behind the letters. Do it and grab it and move it behind the M seems like it will be covered by this brush effect to cover the letter we should use the to our four track mat here is the top whereas the written track mat, yes it is but firstly let's break below the letter. Here it is go to the track mat choose a flat there is none.

Now let them letter M alphabet. Yes. And now understand how it works. It works like the doctrine principle one layer from another. It seems like it works. Let's do all the steps with other letters by duplicate yes duplicate brush, put it over the layer and then track Matt.

Why don't you want to do it in order I did it in order. Everything disappeared here because you didn't move the footage to the weather. So select brush and move it ah stop please stop. Very high return. Okay, so it is important. We have done the one footage transition so we need to rotate it some way not to make it look like copper best like this.

One Yes. So select brush or the a litter rotated a bit rotation, okay. Yeah, and it's good to leave bald spots of the text like this. Yeah, maybe a bit smaller one rotate the letter D. So, okay, do it as you like, like randomly while I did. So when you got the result that you like, and I will see that man is written by different footages. And the task is to make their brains for the test in part, so we should move frames on the timeline.

What time should we use? The gap can be 10 frames, is it okay? Have a look. Yeah, it's cool. Yes, you can decrease it. There is that the appear of each letter has different speed if we did it simultaneous or in order, if it will be from m to D, so it would be too boring for viewers.

But now it looks like each letter is a separate animation. Let's add something more. Let's add something more. That was an offer. Yeah, again, let's make any composition. I've been able to do it.

Yeah, name it please text post as you like, should we leave all the settings in this way? Yes. What is next? Firstly, we want it to look like a stop motion. So bring the text here and now we are gone. To use very cool free blagging for this attacked, not always free means suck.

And this is our option, select the text and go to the facts. Here we'll find time and pasteurized. What is it even sounds cool but actually this plugin kick out frames of, for example, now we have 25 frames per second and if we the value will be, for example 15 I don't want 15 maybe more. Okay try but it is not too good. Yes so you can tune this. Yeah Bartlett be 15 Okay, I'll trust you.

And now the text appears catchy, but it looks more important, cooler and stylish since that we had nothing but But yes, everything has changed what's the next stop motion allows very variations, deformations, or even tremor in the text because it is usually a handmade product and tiny box is one of the stop motions effect. So we're going to continue this sterilization and turn back to the text. Let's make a little vibration of each letter, please select the first letter M. But for the beginning, let's move all anchor points of letters to their centers. And component is this little red cross. To have the opportunity to add it, you select these two a bit different from the little red one, but it is and in our letter, we should put the anchor point into the center. So introduction report is ready now choose the first letter dress as on the keypad and open scale settings.

Next, we should unlock this block. I had that it has proportions. Yes. And now if you change the scale of the object, it will change the size and proportionately and with the help of pressed out, you should click the clock out plus Greek clock. Yes, next, here one can see an open string where one can tab our pace to the most popular and simple expression that is called wiggle type. We go open the bracket and the values are 25 comma one close bracket is the only one expression that no, it's not bad for a no.

Yeah. Let's play the animation and have a look at what has happened. Now the letter M has a lot of abrasion or stretch. Let's look at this expression and use it to the other letters. You mean I need to copy it here? Yes, please tell us how to do it.

I copy it Ctrl C, select another letter, press S on the keyboard. Open kale, and click the squawk icon they have pressed out click the clock here paste the expression and do the same steps with the letter D. s. I'll clock based here. Hello, yeah, I got it. And after this, you don't tell me that something doesn't work out even if a Blondie is able to do it. So return back to the composition text post and play the animation Because besides the bigger the effect of past eras time is added to here. And these two effects show a good picture and customization now it is really looking like a stop motion.

This is a sample of the text and yeah, I like it now. Maybe to add a background Yes. Now we can add the background. Let's go to the layer and you solid and let it be dark red and name it background this red maybe a bit darker as you like put the background behind and now here is too much read yeah too much read to read too mad is it here now now now escape, escape. control that controls. Select the text Okay.

Go to the effects and find field generate I yeah. can read and find the perfect field. Let it be wide. Red and White is cool. Now one can see all the books and outbox from the text and we can enjoy again the animation. Perfect.

Now I'm going to show you a simple way to make the effect of an old movie. There are a bunch of them actually, but I'll show you the one and with the help of the plug in that is called separate as it pretty often let's do it. Okay, let's do it layer, you adjustment layer wireless adjustment adjustment, there is a layer that is transparent and if we add it back to this type of layer, this layer becomes a carryin between the cap and layers that are situated behind the adjustment. Okay, where is it open effects, search severe and here search for film damage. Got it. If you played it will show the back too much.

We don't need all these trains and dust and grains. We will do it almost everything. Everything Yeah, it is not difficult actually. Let's select the settings and do it by order. Okay. Okay.

Rain, it is a noise so please leave it. cane. It's tiny dots, this Delete on its spots, delete that. Let it be over, over 10 hairs zero to zero. Okay, V net also zero. We'll do it another way, sleep.

For example, zero dogs 08 is the doll. Yes, check it. I like it. Yes. Now we have this optional noise. Erica Seiken Yes, Aaron is shaking.

So what else? Let's tell the viewers how to do this brush pop. That was in the preview. Okay, and what about Vanessa? Whenever the last step before precompose Okay, so go to the project window. Yes, he should.

I think you should stretch the window a bit. Yes, you got it. And let's choose few footages that will be drawn about bathmat, choose from this. Yes, please take first entered. Last should bring to the timeline. Yeah, and now it's big scale yes care.

Is it okay? Bit more this way? Yes. And as was the third footage too, and make it bigger. scale the bit. Okay, and move it a bit down this way.

Yes. And let's center it all. Okay. Okay, so that routine. Okay, let's precompose it. Layer precompose and name it free.

How you got number two? I don't know, but let's be free. Next move to the move the timeline of this footages I think it should be over a second second. This way I think have a look. Okay, that's also in the footage. file there are as at paint splashes, so pains to lashes okay take the temps and bring it to the project okay scary scale the size it looks like running now.

Okay scale as I got it and move it As You Like It looks to be make it smaller smaller more here they overweight the composition so let put it be to the left to right near the center and kill it more like 20 Okay, is it okay now let's paint a racing car as the land is associated Go to the effects getting right and feel gain rate it's difficult feel okay I got it. Then select dropper okay or just choose black calm. Now the A B are earlier than the lines so please move it by the timeline over here yes it will be helpful for you to choose the timeline from second to fourth second to fourth second it will be saved it will save time. Now we need to create one more text above this line. Let's make any text and type it over decline.

Okay, choose T and type. You can change the size at the beginning I decrease it more more over here. Okay? What should the type lesson be something kill marks. Okay. Kill marks, maybe be you.

Okay let's be marks and put it to the center. Okay, I use safe zone and put it to the center like that. Now let's select the composition number free dedicated and put it over the text and now what should we use? I guess it was truck Matt and I should click out on that. Yes check it out It worked. Okay, let's say all the competition.

Okay, try it. Now we can easily take orders for Quentin Tarantino and create titles for his numerous. And what about when and how it is possible to forget v net. Okay, let's precompose it all. All of it. Yes, all of it.

Layer precompose Okay, let it be for I do v net in my own way if the composition is not too heavy, so I'll use my own effect and style. let's duplicate the full composition Ctrl D. Yes, select mask to bound to this. Yes. And now we should draw an ad. It shouldn't be like an ideal one. Yes, just just draw this way.

I'm not the master and the master but the busier lines. That's okay. Then go to the mode isn't here yes and choose multiplied mode. Now we should change the mode of the mask, open the post competition open mask and besides add choose subtract. Then open transforms of mask. Got it and change the value of federal until you will like it too.

Too much too much too much. Stop stop stop too little. Oh my god. Okay, yes. This way we can create such a winner. Can I have a look?

Yes, sure. Oh, like I'm watching the old movie. All I know this technique can be used to create not only grunch decks for example, In my screensaver, I use it often but in the modern style so as usual, it all depends on your fantasy and imagination. Yeah, that's how I think
