After Effects Apprentice 03: Advanced Animation for Beginners (101)

TRT:02:55:21

Chris Meyer helps beginning After Effects artists take their animations to the next level. Don't settle for mechanical movements, awkward timing, or puzzles that have you chasing your tail around the screen; Chris will show you how to refine your animations to create elegant, coordinated movements with the minimum number of keyframes – as well as slam-downs, whip pans, and other attention-getters. Additional movies challenge you to reverse-engineer existing animations, create variations on a theme, and master other parts of the program. Even though this course is designed for beginners, you will learn tricks that many experienced users are unaware of. Chris' friendly running commentary lets you in on his mental process as he works on an animation.

Topics include:

• Understanding how keyframes work under the hood

• Controlling the Anchor Point to create more predictable animations

• Mastering the Graph Editor for the ultimate control over keyframes

• Animating parameters including motion paths

• Hand-drawing motion paths to simplify complex movements

• Applying and tweaking Motion Blur

• Using Hold keyframes

After Effects Apprentice 04: Layer Control - Editing, Blending, and Effecting (101)

TRT:02:29:34

In this course, Chris Meyer focuses on ways to edit and enhance layers in After Effects – including looping, sequencing, and frame blending them; employing Blending Modes to create more interesting composites; and applying Effects, Presets, Behaviors, and Layer Styles. Through a series of Quizzler challenges and Idea Corner examples, Chris also shares alternative ways to employ modes, sequencing, and Adjustment Layers, while special sidebar movies cover the subjects of creating seamless loops, animating effects points, understanding pixel aspect ratios, and employing Brainstorm to explore the variety of different looks that effects can create. Chris also shares his favorite trick for enhancing boring footage, and demonstrates how to convert scans into moving sequences.

Topics include:

• Sliding, trimming, slip editing, and insert editing layers
• Employing Blending Modes to enhance layers and composites
• Applying, modifying, and saving Animation Presets and Layer Styles
• Using Adjustment Layers to effect multiple layers
• Experimenting with effects using Brainstorm
• Understanding Pixel Aspect Ratios

After Effects Apprentice 05: Creating Transparency - Masks, Mattes, and Stencils (101)

TRT:02:24:07

One of the keys to creating an interesting composite of multiple images is to make portions of those images transparent, so that you can see other images behind or through them. In this course, Chris Meyer demonstrates the most common techniques for adding this selective transparency to layers in After Effects: through the use of masking, track mattes, and stencils. A good amount of time is also spent showing how effects interact with these. In addition to explaining the tools and basic theory, Chris also demonstrates several practical applications for these techniques, including isolating objects, creating vignettes, and filling text with visual texture, plus shares ideas for crafting custom transitions and other treatments.

Topics include:
    •    Creating masks using parametric shapes or the freeform pen tool
    •    Editing and animating masks
    •    Combining multiple masks
    •    Using one layer to define the transparency of others
    •    Explaining the interaction between effects, masks, and mattes
    •    Mastering mask animation through advanced concepts such as Mask Interpolation and the First Vertex Point

After Effects Apprentice 06: Type & Music (201)

TRT:03:40:14

One of the cornerstones of motion graphics is creating and animating type. In this course, Trish Meyer will show you how to typeset titles professionally and create your own custom animations, as well as apply and modify the hundreds of text animation presets that After Effects ships with. Additionally, Chris Meyer will show you how to add audio to your projects, including spotting "hit points" to align your keyframes and video action.

Topics include:
    •    The core text animation recipes
    •    Animating text along a path
    •    Working with text animation presets
    •    Timing animation to audio
    •    Per-character 3D type
    •    rendering with an alpha channel
    •    Making Photoshop type editable in After Effects
    •    Professional typesetting tips

After Effects Apprentice 07: Parenting (201)

TRT:01:37:06

Parenting is a way to group multiple layers within the same composition inside After Effects. In this lesson, Chris Meyer shows how to set up a parenting chain, discusses what makes a good parent, and demonstrates several techniques using Parenting such as creating a title animation with a minimum number of keyframes, building a geometric construct, and bringing an anthropomorphic robot arm to life. Sidebar topics include avoiding a scaling gotcha with parenting, and creating abstract backgrounds using the Fractal Noise effect.

Topics include:
    •    making Parenting connections
    •    using Null Objects
    •    crafting anthropomorphic-style animations
    •    avoiding problems with non-uniform scaling
    •    animating Fractal Noise

After Effects Apprentice 08: Nesting and Precomposing (201)

TRT:02:22:31

In this course, Chris and Trish Meyer share two of the core secrets required to become an efficient After Effects user: understanding the Render Order (the internal order of operations After Effects uses when calculating masks, effects, transformation, track mattes, and layer styles), and the judicious use of multiple compositions where a composition may be "nested" into one or more other comps. This makes it easier to group layers, efficiently re-use a common element to quickly accommodate client changes, pan around large composites of multiple layers, and solve render order issues. By mastering these concepts, you can take control of what the program does and how it does it to achieve the design in your head, rather than compromising your ideas by just accepting what it gives you.

Topics include:
    •    grouping layers by nesting and precomposing
    •    identifying and solving render order issues
    •    navigating composition hierarchies
    •    editing a precomp while viewing the result in another composition
    •    preserving the frame rate of a nested composition

After Effects Apprentice 10: Time Games (201)

TRT:00:59:04

In this breezy course, Chris Meyer demonstrates several ways to manipulate time in After Effects, including how to combine these tools with other tricks you've already learned in this series such as nesting compositions, expressions, and the Graph Editor. Along the way, he reveals several important yet somewhat hidden functions, such as the advanced composition setting that ensures you'll get predictable stop motion, the two different modes of the Frame Blending switch, and the mysterious Time Remap parameter that disappears if you don't have keyframing enabled for it. Although it may sound advanced (and parts of it is), these are all techniques you can easily master, and have a lot of fun with.

Topics include:
    •    Smoothing out slow motion
    •    Reliably creating stop motion
    •    Creating hold and freeze frames
    •    Keyframing time

After Effects Apprentice 11: 3D Space (201)

TRT:04:47:31

The core of this course is a beginner-level introduction to 3D space inside Adobe After Effects. If you've never worked in 3D before, Chris and Trish Meyer build up your knowledge base step-by-step explaining what's different between 2D and 3D, then moving through cameras and lights – including how to build camera rigs and manage shadows. Once you've become familiar with those bedrock skills, Chris then demonstrates several different workflows for creating 3D objects inside Adobe Photoshop and importing them in After Effects. A set of sidebar movies at the end share additional tips on the difference between 3D rotation and orientation, using the different Axis Modes, and how to maintain maximum quality in 3D. As always, Chris and Trish put parameters and techniques in a real-world context, explaining what settings they use and why.

Topics include:
    •    keyframing motion paths in 3D
    •    managing multiple 3D views
    •    creating and manipulating cameras and lights
    •    auto-orientation in 3D
    •    Vanishing Point Exchange and dimensional stills
    •    Live Photoshop 3D include Adobe Repoussé

After Effects Apprentice 09: Expressions (301)

TRT:01:35:30

One of the most powerful but underused features in After Effects is Expressions: The ability to define how a parameter animates using instructions such as "wiggle" compared to explicitly keyframing every value. One of its strengths is the ability to have multiple parameters and layers follow the lead of a master layer or controller effect, making it much easier to coordinate complex animations and quickly accommodate client changes. In this gentle introduction, Chris Meyer shows you how to let After Effects do most of the work while creating simple but very useful expressions that you can put to work on a wide variety of jobs.

Topics include:
    •    Creating and managing expressions
    •    Linking together different parameters
    •    Randomizing a layer's movement
    •    Looping an animation
    •    Controlling multiple layers from a single source

After Effects Apprentice 12: Tracking and Keying (301)

TRT:03:18:50

Motion tracking: The ability to follow the location of an object in a piece of footage, and use this information to stabilize that shot or animate other layers. Color keying: The ability to make a solid color background transparent so that you can replace it with a new image. Both of these are core visual effects tasks you need to learn if you want to take your After Effects skills to the next level. In this course, Chris Meyer shows you how to use the motion tracker and stabilizer built into After Effects, with loads of advice on how to handle a variety of shots. He also gives a quick tour of the third-party software mocha that is bundled with After Effects. On the keying front, Chris demonstrates the basic workflow for The Foundry's Keylight, which is also bundled with After Effects. By the end of this course, you will be combining these two skills to track greenscreen shot with a handheld camera, and replace its background. Practice is the secret to mastering these skills, but getting to look over someone else's shoulder as they perform these tasks is a great way to jump-start your learning curve.

Topics include:
•      motion stabilization and keying
•      applying tracking to effects
•      keying with Keylight
•      image replacement
•      production tips such as garbage masking and dealing with interlaced footage

After Effects Apprentice 13: Paint, Puppet, and More (301)

TRT:03:12:16

In this lesson, Trish and Chris Meyer introduce you to a series of creative tools inside After Effects: Paint, Puppet, Brainstorm, and Cartoon. The centerpiece is Paint, where Trish will demonstrate how to use the Brush, Eraser, and Clone Stamp tools to draw on a layer, remove portions of it, or repeat elements around a composition. These can be used for artistic purposes as well as to repair problem areas in footage. Chris then shows off the Puppet tools for distorting layers, Brainstorm to break through creative blocks, and the Cartoon effect to lend an illustrative look to live footage or 3D renders.

Topics include:
• creating, erasing and animating brush and clone strokes
• using Paint to reveal a layer over time
• creating animated distortions to flat artwork with the Puppet tools
• employing Brainstorm to explore complex effects and alter keyframed animations
• getting the most out of the Cartoon effect, including pre- and post-processing

After Effects Apprentice 14: Shape Layers (301)

TRT:02:11:45

Shape Layers provide the ability to create and animate vector-based artwork directly inside After Effects. These shapes may be as simple as lines and lower third bars, or as complex as a cartoon character. In this lesson, Chris Meyer walks you through creating shape paths, applying shape effects, and reordering shape operators to get the desired result. After demonstrating the basics, Chris then leads you through a series of exercises using shape layers to create common motion graphics elements.

Topics include:
• creating versatile parametric shapes
• drawing freeform shapes using the Pen tool
• defining gradient fills
• crafting and animating dotted and dashed lines
• combining Effects, Layer Styles, Expressions, and Brainstorm with Shape Layers

After Effects Apprentice 15: Final Project (301)

TRT:03:25:12

These final lessons pull together many of the skills you’ve been learning in the previous After Effects Apprentice installments to create a video promo. First, Trish will lead you through building many of the components used in the final piece. Then Chris shows how to assemble these precompositions into a 3D world, timed to music. Along the way, Trish and Chris share their mental process as they design a video project, including unifying the overall look and handling client changes.

Topics include:
• building a 3D world
• working with layered Illustrator files
• synchronizing to music
• using text animation presets
• rendering strategies
• working with widescreen video, including 4:3 center cut and safe area considerations

Larry Jordan Webinar 30

TRT:00:57:55

This is an advanced title that builds on what Larry Jordan already covered on Motion and takes you deeper into the world of 3D space inside Motion 4.

A camera provides a specific point-of-view from which to view your project in 3D space. Additionally, Motion 4 allows us to build sets, that is, groupings of visual elements, which the camera can move around, between, and through to create ever more complex effects. Adding even more excitement, we can add lights to provide dramatic highlights.

In this session, we will look at how to create cameras, lights, and sets, then animate them in 3D space. While many of these features also work in Motion 3, all our demos will be in Motion 4.

This tutorial builds on earlier Motion sessions.

Larry Jordan Webinar 37

TRT:00:59:30

Larry starts by looking at particles. Almost anything can be a particle - all it takes is one click of a button. Then, the fun starts. Larry shows how to create particles, then how to use the settings in the Inspector to customize the effect. You won't believe how quickly you can create complex effects like confetti falling through air.

Next, Larry shows you how to paint on the screen; even if you can't draw a straight line without mechanical help. There are hundreds of brush styles to choose from. You'll learn how to adjust what you drew, then discover a way to combine painting with behaviors to create exciting animation easily.

The webinar wraps up with a look at replicators. Replicators are like particles frozen at a moment in time. Larry starts by creating a simple background for an info graphic, then shows you how to create the "floating pictures in space" that you've seen on Apple ads.

Each of these effects is created from scratch, and illustrated step-by-step, so that you can follow along and discover how to put the power of Motion to work for you.

If you are wondering what Motion can do that Final Cut can't, you need to see this webinar. Some of these effects are so cool - and SO EASY - that it will make you want to start using Motion immediately to spice up all your projects!
