1 00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:01,008 - [Instructor] Setting keyframes to create 2 00:00:01,008 --> 00:00:03,006 an animation inside of After Effects 3 00:00:03,006 --> 00:00:06,001 is just as straightforward as it is in Premiere. 4 00:00:06,001 --> 00:00:08,009 However, you have a greater degree of freedom and ability 5 00:00:08,009 --> 00:00:11,005 to manipulate those keyframes in After Effects. 6 00:00:11,005 --> 00:00:13,006 Adjusting the keyframes of more than one property 7 00:00:13,006 --> 00:00:16,003 across more than one layer at a time is a big difference 8 00:00:16,003 --> 00:00:17,008 between After Effects and Premiere. 9 00:00:17,008 --> 00:00:19,007 Here, we'll build a little title reveal 10 00:00:19,007 --> 00:00:22,009 and look how we can easily scale, reverse, and re-time 11 00:00:22,009 --> 00:00:24,007 those keyframes in the timeline. 12 00:00:24,007 --> 00:00:28,005 So this composition has four layers and a background layer. 13 00:00:28,005 --> 00:00:31,007 And when I preview, you'll see that three of those layers 14 00:00:31,007 --> 00:00:34,001 come in from the bottom and move off to the top. 15 00:00:34,001 --> 00:00:37,000 They also go from black and white into color. 16 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,006 And this last layer over here on the right-hand side, 17 00:00:39,006 --> 00:00:40,006 doesn't move at all. 18 00:00:40,006 --> 00:00:42,002 So that's what we're going to animate. 19 00:00:42,002 --> 00:00:44,007 We're also going to re-time some of the color effects 20 00:00:44,007 --> 00:00:46,003 so that they time out better. 21 00:00:46,003 --> 00:00:49,005 And we'll also introduce our logo at the end 22 00:00:49,005 --> 00:00:51,006 so that we can have a little reveal. 23 00:00:51,006 --> 00:00:53,006 So let's take a look at the keyframes that we have here. 24 00:00:53,006 --> 00:00:54,008 I'm going to go ahead and stop this. 25 00:00:54,008 --> 00:00:57,001 And first of all, you'll notice that I'm working 26 00:00:57,001 --> 00:00:59,006 at quarter resolution here instead of full, 27 00:00:59,006 --> 00:01:02,000 just so that we can preview things a little bit faster. 28 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,009 So I'll nudge that back down to a quarter. 29 00:01:03,009 --> 00:01:06,007 And I'm also going to take my work area 30 00:01:06,007 --> 00:01:09,008 and limit it to frame 125. 31 00:01:09,008 --> 00:01:13,001 Even though the actual duration of the entire comp is 300, 32 00:01:13,001 --> 00:01:14,004 when I do my previews, 33 00:01:14,004 --> 00:01:17,004 it will just preview from frame zero to 125. 34 00:01:17,004 --> 00:01:19,007 And then I'm also going to zoom in to my composition 35 00:01:19,007 --> 00:01:22,002 a little bit. 36 00:01:22,002 --> 00:01:24,005 So select layers one through four, 37 00:01:24,005 --> 00:01:26,002 and let's come over here to animation, 38 00:01:26,002 --> 00:01:27,006 reveal properties with keyframes, 39 00:01:27,006 --> 00:01:29,003 that keyboard shortcut U. 40 00:01:29,003 --> 00:01:31,009 And you'll see that I have position. 41 00:01:31,009 --> 00:01:34,002 I have hue and saturation as an effect, 42 00:01:34,002 --> 00:01:37,001 and all these available keyframes that we defined earlier. 43 00:01:37,001 --> 00:01:39,001 This is something that we want to look at 44 00:01:39,001 --> 00:01:41,008 and just only alter the position keyframes at the moment. 45 00:01:41,008 --> 00:01:44,002 So while I have all these keyframes here, 46 00:01:44,002 --> 00:01:47,004 I can certainly elect to show just the position parameter. 47 00:01:47,004 --> 00:01:49,009 And so let's go ahead and twirl up all of our layers. 48 00:01:49,009 --> 00:01:51,006 And instead of hitting U on the keyboard, 49 00:01:51,006 --> 00:01:53,003 let's hit P instead. 50 00:01:53,003 --> 00:01:55,009 P for position, we'll bring up the position properties 51 00:01:55,009 --> 00:01:57,003 of each of those selected layers 52 00:01:57,003 --> 00:02:01,003 and any associated keyframes that are along with it. 53 00:02:01,003 --> 00:02:03,003 So you see layer one over here on the far right 54 00:02:03,003 --> 00:02:04,006 doesn't have any keyframes. 55 00:02:04,006 --> 00:02:07,002 Let's go ahead and add some keyframes to make 'em match 56 00:02:07,002 --> 00:02:09,005 and move along with his buddies. 57 00:02:09,005 --> 00:02:13,000 So I'm going to click and drag my current time indicator here 58 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000 and holding down shift, 59 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,001 as I do, will snap to whatever's underneath it. 60 00:02:17,001 --> 00:02:20,003 So any keyframes or the in or out points of a layer, 61 00:02:20,003 --> 00:02:21,007 it'll snap to those. 62 00:02:21,007 --> 00:02:22,008 So I'm snapping here. 63 00:02:22,008 --> 00:02:24,006 Let's go ahead and insert a keyframe. 64 00:02:24,006 --> 00:02:27,000 That's where this layer's going to end up. 65 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,005 I'm going to work backwards here. 66 00:02:28,005 --> 00:02:30,002 And down at frame zero, 67 00:02:30,002 --> 00:02:31,007 let's go ahead and click and drag this down, 68 00:02:31,007 --> 00:02:34,000 holding down shift to constrain that motion 69 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,002 just to the up and down. 70 00:02:36,002 --> 00:02:39,001 And over here, I can certainly insert a brand new keyframe 71 00:02:39,001 --> 00:02:44,002 over here, or I can undo and copy this one keyframe. 72 00:02:44,002 --> 00:02:47,004 Cmd + C, Cmd + V, since those are the same values. 73 00:02:47,004 --> 00:02:49,004 And now when we move back down here, 74 00:02:49,004 --> 00:02:55,001 we can animate this off, moving up forward. 75 00:02:55,001 --> 00:02:58,004 So we manually keyframed this in place to kind of match 76 00:02:58,004 --> 00:02:59,004 the other layers. 77 00:02:59,004 --> 00:03:02,001 However, there is one other way that we can do this, 78 00:03:02,001 --> 00:03:03,002 that we could have done it. 79 00:03:03,002 --> 00:03:06,005 If we go ahead and turn off our stopwatch there, 80 00:03:06,005 --> 00:03:08,007 we have all the position movement 81 00:03:08,007 --> 00:03:10,007 from all these other layers here. 82 00:03:10,007 --> 00:03:12,002 The only difference is that this guy is 83 00:03:12,002 --> 00:03:13,007 over on the far right. 84 00:03:13,007 --> 00:03:16,003 And so we can make use of the previous animation 85 00:03:16,003 --> 00:03:17,004 that we built. 86 00:03:17,004 --> 00:03:20,008 Let's go ahead and select the entire position for layer two, 87 00:03:20,008 --> 00:03:23,001 and that will select all the keyframes for us. 88 00:03:23,001 --> 00:03:24,009 Let's Cmd + C to copy, 89 00:03:24,009 --> 00:03:28,002 and let's rewind our current time indicator down 90 00:03:28,002 --> 00:03:31,002 to the beginning and with our position parameters 91 00:03:31,002 --> 00:03:34,005 selected on layer one, Cmd + V to paste. 92 00:03:34,005 --> 00:03:37,001 And you'll notice that layer one is now following 93 00:03:37,001 --> 00:03:38,008 the exact same motions as layer two. 94 00:03:38,008 --> 00:03:40,003 And so we just need to offset this 95 00:03:40,003 --> 00:03:42,003 so that it occupies this empty space here. 96 00:03:42,003 --> 00:03:43,007 And so how do we do that? 97 00:03:43,007 --> 00:03:47,000 Well, we can park over on any of these keyframes. 98 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,008 Go ahead and shift drag so you can target 99 00:03:49,008 --> 00:03:51,006 frame 68 precisely. 100 00:03:51,006 --> 00:03:55,005 And with the current time indicator over that keyframe, 101 00:03:55,005 --> 00:03:57,006 we can come over here to our position parameter 102 00:03:57,006 --> 00:04:00,008 and just click and drag to slide the value over. 103 00:04:00,008 --> 00:04:02,006 And you'll notice the entire motion path. 104 00:04:02,006 --> 00:04:05,003 All these other keyframes will keep their proportions 105 00:04:05,003 --> 00:04:08,005 and all that relative information in place. 106 00:04:08,005 --> 00:04:12,001 Alternately, you can move around in the composition window. 107 00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:15,006 You can actually pick and click and drag the keyframe 108 00:04:15,006 --> 00:04:17,006 from here as well and move the entire motion path 109 00:04:17,006 --> 00:04:18,007 that way too. 110 00:04:18,007 --> 00:04:20,002 So I'll just undo that. 111 00:04:20,002 --> 00:04:22,004 We'll reframe here up to 100%. 112 00:04:22,004 --> 00:04:27,000 And once we preview, we see that. 113 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,002 All right, we have all of our position in place. 114 00:04:29,002 --> 00:04:31,008 Let's go ahead and re-time our hue and saturation effects 115 00:04:31,008 --> 00:04:34,004 so that it starts to animate on once we land here 116 00:04:34,004 --> 00:04:36,005 at frame 23. 117 00:04:36,005 --> 00:04:39,005 So I'm going to shift select layers one through four, 118 00:04:39,005 --> 00:04:41,009 come over here, or hit U on the keyboard 119 00:04:41,009 --> 00:04:43,008 to get all those keyframes. 120 00:04:43,008 --> 00:04:46,003 I'm going to nudge up my timeline a little bit so we can see 121 00:04:46,003 --> 00:04:47,009 a little bit more of our keyframes. 122 00:04:47,009 --> 00:04:50,008 And because I have all these keyframes here, 123 00:04:50,008 --> 00:04:53,006 I just want to isolate the hue and saturation. 124 00:04:53,006 --> 00:04:55,007 And I don't need to see the position. 125 00:04:55,007 --> 00:04:58,008 So I can filter those out by simply option shift, 126 00:04:58,008 --> 00:05:00,004 clicking the position. 127 00:05:00,004 --> 00:05:02,000 And you'll see that it filters those out 128 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,007 and leaves only the hue and saturation keyframes. 129 00:05:05,007 --> 00:05:07,007 And this is one of the greatest things about After Effects 130 00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:12,001 is that you can now select across multiple layers 131 00:05:12,001 --> 00:05:15,003 and multiple parameters, all these different keyframes. 132 00:05:15,003 --> 00:05:17,001 And so because this is now a selection, 133 00:05:17,001 --> 00:05:21,001 I can click and drag on a keyframe and move it into place. 134 00:05:21,001 --> 00:05:24,005 Alternately, I can nudge these keyframes frame by frame. 135 00:05:24,005 --> 00:05:27,004 Just hold down option and left arrow or right arrow 136 00:05:27,004 --> 00:05:28,004 on the keyboard. 137 00:05:28,004 --> 00:05:30,009 And that will nudge the keyframes into place. 138 00:05:30,009 --> 00:05:35,006 And holding down shift and option along with the right 139 00:05:35,006 --> 00:05:39,002 and left arrows will move it in 10 degree increments. 140 00:05:39,002 --> 00:05:40,007 So at frame 23, there we are. 141 00:05:40,007 --> 00:05:43,006 We've nudged these keyframes into place 142 00:05:43,006 --> 00:05:49,004 and they all come full color and they move out. 143 00:05:49,004 --> 00:05:51,003 I think one other thing we can do to kind of help finesse 144 00:05:51,003 --> 00:05:54,001 this animation is not have these video layers 145 00:05:54,001 --> 00:05:56,003 all move in from the same spot. 146 00:05:56,003 --> 00:05:58,008 So rather than having them all move in from the bottom 147 00:05:58,008 --> 00:06:00,009 and work the way out through the top, 148 00:06:00,009 --> 00:06:02,000 let's alternate some of these. 149 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,005 Like this one, layer four and layer two. 150 00:06:05,005 --> 00:06:07,007 Okay, let's go ahead and twirl all this up. 151 00:06:07,007 --> 00:06:10,007 And what we'll do instead, is select layer two 152 00:06:10,007 --> 00:06:11,009 and layer four. 153 00:06:11,009 --> 00:06:15,007 We'll command click on layer four to multi-select that. 154 00:06:15,007 --> 00:06:18,008 Push P on keyboard to reveal those position keyframes, 155 00:06:18,008 --> 00:06:21,007 and let's get this going in the opposite direction. 156 00:06:21,007 --> 00:06:23,007 Let's reverse this animation. 157 00:06:23,007 --> 00:06:26,000 So to reverse an animation, you might think, 158 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,005 okay, let's take this one 159 00:06:27,005 --> 00:06:28,008 and move it all the way to the beginning. 160 00:06:28,008 --> 00:06:29,009 Let's move this front one 161 00:06:29,009 --> 00:06:31,004 and move it all the way to the back. 162 00:06:31,004 --> 00:06:33,003 Let's undo 'cause there's definitely an easier way 163 00:06:33,003 --> 00:06:34,005 to do that. 164 00:06:34,005 --> 00:06:36,006 So with my position parameter selected, 165 00:06:36,006 --> 00:06:38,002 all these keyframes get selected. 166 00:06:38,002 --> 00:06:39,004 And now what I can do 167 00:06:39,004 --> 00:06:41,007 is right-click on any one of those keyframes, 168 00:06:41,007 --> 00:06:45,005 go down to keyframe assistant, time reverse keyframes. 169 00:06:45,005 --> 00:06:48,008 And so now you see at the beginning, 170 00:06:48,008 --> 00:06:51,000 the second layer is moving up from the top 171 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000 and working its way towards the bottom. 172 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,001 So let's go ahead and nudge these two keyframes 173 00:06:55,001 --> 00:06:56,005 to keep that in place. 174 00:06:56,005 --> 00:07:00,002 We'll option left arrow to I guess, twice there 175 00:07:00,002 --> 00:07:02,008 to kind of match the original animation. 176 00:07:02,008 --> 00:07:04,008 And then we'll do the same thing for layer four. 177 00:07:04,008 --> 00:07:09,002 Select all those keyframes and time reverse keyframes. 178 00:07:09,002 --> 00:07:10,004 And select these two guys, 179 00:07:10,004 --> 00:07:14,009 and we'll just nudge that into place. 180 00:07:14,009 --> 00:07:16,009 So now we've got two coming up from the top, 181 00:07:16,009 --> 00:07:18,005 two coming from the bottom. 182 00:07:18,005 --> 00:07:20,009 We can finesse this further by just not having it 183 00:07:20,009 --> 00:07:22,000 slam into place. 184 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,001 You'll notice here that for these position keyframes, 185 00:07:25,001 --> 00:07:28,002 all these layers just abruptly stop. 186 00:07:28,002 --> 00:07:31,002 And then again, abruptly start as they take off. 187 00:07:31,002 --> 00:07:33,006 We can add some easing to these keyframes. 188 00:07:33,006 --> 00:07:35,008 So let's select layers one through four once more, 189 00:07:35,008 --> 00:07:37,006 we'll hit P on the keyboard. 190 00:07:37,006 --> 00:07:39,007 And these are all linear keyframes. 191 00:07:39,007 --> 00:07:41,005 And so they just kind of slam into place. 192 00:07:41,005 --> 00:07:45,003 Let's introduce easing by selecting all these keyframes 193 00:07:45,003 --> 00:07:47,005 for this position. 194 00:07:47,005 --> 00:07:50,004 And we'll right-click and again, under keyframe assistant, 195 00:07:50,004 --> 00:07:52,005 let's select easy ease in. 196 00:07:52,005 --> 00:07:55,008 And so instead of a harsh, sudden stop, 197 00:07:55,008 --> 00:07:58,003 now we get this nice smooth motion where the layers 198 00:07:58,003 --> 00:08:00,009 are easing into place. 199 00:08:00,009 --> 00:08:03,009 So let's go ahead and do the same for these keyframes here, 200 00:08:03,009 --> 00:08:06,005 so that they gradually take off. 201 00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:09,009 So right-click, keyframe assistant, easy ease out. 202 00:08:09,009 --> 00:08:12,000 You notice those icons change up altogether. 203 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,002 And now when we preview our composition, 204 00:08:14,002 --> 00:08:16,005 now there's moving off and easing in 205 00:08:16,005 --> 00:08:20,004 and out of their positions. 206 00:08:20,004 --> 00:08:22,007 Okay, I think we can do just a couple more things here. 207 00:08:22,007 --> 00:08:27,000 Let's go ahead and select these three layers, 208 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,004 their position, and let's offset the timing of this 209 00:08:29,004 --> 00:08:32,000 a little bit, so that we can just have them all come in, 210 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,006 settle, and then one by one, 211 00:08:34,006 --> 00:08:37,000 we can have these guys begin to take off. 212 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,001 So option and shift, let's go ahead and right arrow. 213 00:08:41,001 --> 00:08:44,008 And that will move it in 10 frame increments. 214 00:08:44,008 --> 00:08:47,006 And I'll select the bottom two now, layers three and four, 215 00:08:47,006 --> 00:08:48,005 and do the same thing. 216 00:08:48,005 --> 00:08:52,000 Shift and option, plus the right arrow on the keyboard. 217 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,004 We'll offset that 10 frames. 218 00:08:53,004 --> 00:08:56,003 And then this last one, we'll do 10 frames as well. 219 00:08:56,003 --> 00:08:59,002 So now when we preview, they all settle into place 220 00:08:59,002 --> 00:09:02,005 and then one by one, the layers take off. 221 00:09:02,005 --> 00:09:05,003 So we've just staggered the outro timing 222 00:09:05,003 --> 00:09:09,003 of our animation here. 223 00:09:09,003 --> 00:09:12,002 Okay lastly, all we need to do is add in our logo. 224 00:09:12,002 --> 00:09:14,005 So let's go ahead and drag our glass logo 225 00:09:14,005 --> 00:09:16,000 from our footage folder. 226 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,006 And I'm going to drag that underneath layer four 227 00:09:18,006 --> 00:09:21,000 to make it the brand new layer five. 228 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000 And when we preview, we see that the logo's already there. 229 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,005 We obviously don't want that timing to start there. 230 00:09:26,005 --> 00:09:30,003 We actually want it to be over maybe right in here. 231 00:09:30,003 --> 00:09:34,007 Just this last layer here starts to move off screen. 232 00:09:34,007 --> 00:09:36,006 So with my layer five selected, 233 00:09:36,006 --> 00:09:38,009 I'm going to left bracket on the keyboard 234 00:09:38,009 --> 00:09:41,006 and that will take the end point of layer five 235 00:09:41,006 --> 00:09:44,000 and move it to the current time indicator. 236 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,002 And so now, let's go ahead and preview again. 237 00:09:47,002 --> 00:09:49,009 Layers come into place, move out. 238 00:09:49,009 --> 00:09:52,000 And there's our Glassworks logo. 239 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,003 Go ahead and preview that a little bit longer. 240 00:09:54,003 --> 00:10:01,003 Maybe move down to frame 200. 241 00:10:01,003 --> 00:10:02,009 Once you select that and so we can see it 242 00:10:02,009 --> 00:10:03,008 a little bit more clearly. 243 00:10:03,008 --> 00:10:06,007 Let's go ahead and bring this guy out. 244 00:10:06,007 --> 00:10:10,002 Okay, I think that's looking pretty good. 245 00:10:10,002 --> 00:10:13,005 So here, we saw how to adjust keyframes in a variety of ways 246 00:10:13,005 --> 00:10:15,009 and how After Effects gives us great control 247 00:10:15,009 --> 00:10:18,000 over how to manipulate multiple keyframes 248 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,002 across multiple parameters all at once.
