- Let's now add a camera and a few lights…to fine tune our Photoshop animation.…I'm in my chapter 4.9 composition…where we left off from the last movie…where we added a bunch of animation…using expressions and keyframes in our graph.…So you animate this clock to pop up…along with all of the other layers that the clock makes up.…Of course we can fine tune a bit more,…changing the clock hands positions…just to make it look a little bit better,…but what we want to do is add a…camera to the animation.…
And when we add the camera to the animation,…one thing is the opening animation…that takes place with the null object.…What we want to do is get rid of that.…So I want to move just after that takes place.…I could disable it temporarily,…but I would prefer just to move my playhead…towards that position after the null object…is finished scaling up, that's after a second.…I'll hit Delete to remove the null camera animation.…Notice everything else remains.…
So the null layer has been removed from the project.…What I want to do is a camera fly-in.…

2/2/2016It starts with the principles of good design: composition and color theory, inspiration and limitations. Nick then works through three chapters of timesaving, practical motion graphics techniques. Learn to create a lower third, animate a Photoshop file, and build dynamic backgrounds in Final Cut Pro. Discover how animate text, create moving 3D text, and build custom transitions in Motion. Then find out how to send FCP clips to After Effects and animate, light, and export your work. By the end of the training, editors will have a basic comprehension of motion graphic design techniques and the essentials for transitioning between these three powerhouse applications.
