After Effects TUTORIAL: Demo of all the different types of KEYFRAMES (Easy Ease, Ease IN, Ease OUT, Frame Hold). Also includes a little Motion Blur, Graph editor, directly editing layer PATHS right on the stage .#AfterEffects #tutorial #Tutorials #animation #adobeaftereffects #adobe #adobetutorials #easyease #2Danimation #motiongraphics
BEGINNERS: Learn to draw and autotrace "auto trace" in Adobe Illustrator (2021), clean those images up in Illustrator, then open those drawings in After Effects as layers for animations. Vector shapes are CLEAN and tight, created by bezier / formulaic shapes (PEN TOOL) that can be scaled beautifully with clean, non-pixellated edges in AE (turn on the "Continuously rasterize" asterisk-looking button to the right of layers in After Effects). Use other tools to reshape those paths. Strokes and fills in Illustrator. Transform and Scale those shapes in Illustrator too.
If you want that clean look, this class teaches how to create shapes, use the pen tool, auto trace an object and then save as .PNG with transparent backgrounds (Alpha Channels) or to simple import the entire Illustrator file as layers in A.E. Making groups can help control how those files import into AE too. Making compositions out of adobe illustrator files. Gradients, paths, vector vs. rasterized imagery. Pasting an Illustrator path directly into A.E. onto a solid, creating a mask that can be animated too. Lots of good tips and tricks in this video geared towards those that usually draw and create their import assets/imagery in Photoshop. Lots of fun. The animation is one step away!
TIP: After Effects also allows you to 1) create a SOLID (layer - New Solid), then use After Effects great PEN tool and PEN+ or PEN- tools, etc. to create and quickly modify shapes you draw on those SOLIDS. Go under Mask ("M") and you can turn on the stopwatch, make a couple of keyframes and... BOOM, you have a vector shape animating! Why draw in illustrator then? Because you can get more detail, you can prep the image better (names, layers, groups in illustrator), or export as .PNG (can be transparent) in order to retain the awesome STROKES that are included with illustrator.
