4 00:00:23.952 --> 00:00:25.309 Hello, everyone 5 00:00:25.309 --> 00:00:27.699 I'm Ji-Won Choi, your instructor for this session 6 00:00:27.711 --> 00:00:32.089 Today, we will cover 7 00:00:32.090 --> 00:00:35.044 Understanding After Effects for Practical Motion Graphics 8 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.691 An overview of motion graphic 9 00:00:40.692 --> 00:00:42.016 An overview of After Effects 10 00:00:42.017 --> 00:00:44.162 The session will be divided into these two main parts 11 00:00:44.599 --> 00:00:47.553 First, we'll understand motion graphics 12 00:00:47.554 --> 00:00:51.098 and then explore the workflow for practical motion graphics 13 00:00:51.919 --> 00:00:56.759 Second, we'll learn how to install and set up After Effects 14 00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:02.789 examine its interface, and review some useful shortcuts 15 00:01:03.059 --> 00:01:06.861 Motion Graphics Workflow 16 00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:12.080 Motion graphics is a term that combines "motion" and "graphics" 17 00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:15.835 It merges the concepts of movement, motion 18 00:01:15.836 --> 00:01:21.269 or vibration with images or visuals represented by graphics 19 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:26.950 The concept of motion graphics began to emerge in the 1950s 20 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:33.470 The term was first used when John Whitney 21 00:01:33.471 --> 00:01:36.163 an American animator and computer animation pioneer 22 00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:38.902 founded Motion Graphics 23 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.312 Let's examine some examples of how motion graphics are used 24 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.332 Exhibition posters and online promotional materials 25 00:01:47.332 --> 00:01:50.390 are no longer limited to static images or drawings 26 00:01:50.390 --> 00:01:54.310 they are now produced as moving posters 27 00:01:55.080 --> 00:01:57.612 For example, in these exhibition posters 28 00:01:57.613 --> 00:02:01.417 background images and text are combined and set in motion 29 00:02:01.418 --> 00:02:03.932 to convey information aesthetically 30 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.520 This particular exhibition poster promotes media art 31 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:16.941 with symbolic elements placed within the artwork that moves to communicate meaning effectively 32 00:02:16.961 --> 00:02:24.379 Beyond exhibition posters or promotional materials, motion graphics are also utilized in creating actual video works 33 00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:30.230 Let's take Yoojung Kim's work 'Underwater Landscape: Deep Sea' as an example 34 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.320 Yoojung Kim is an artist specializing in traditional Korean painting 35 00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:39.086 This piece transforms the artist's static painting into 36 00:02:39.087 --> 00:02:42.235 a video work by adding motion elements 37 00:02:42.247 --> 00:02:45.911 and was showcased in collaboration with a traditional Korean music performance 38 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.520 This is another example of how motion creates a richer and more dynamic visual experience 39 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.029 Another work by the same artist 40 00:02:52.029 --> 00:02:55.337 Underwater Landscape: Jellyfish Series 41 00:02:55.337 --> 00:03:00.074 which vividly captures the movement of jellyfish underwater 42 00:03:00.839 --> 00:03:04.924 This motion is a great example of using the Puppet Tool 43 00:03:04.924 --> 00:03:07.231 one of the effects of After Effects 44 00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:11.693 We'll be covering this tool in more detail during the intermediate course 45 00:03:11.880 --> 00:03:18.111 Similarly, I'd like to introduce The Visitor by AHA Collective 46 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:24.559 While Kim Yu-jung's video works add motion to 2D paintings 47 00:03:24.559 --> 00:03:28.172 this piece involves 3D-modeled objects 48 00:03:28.173 --> 00:03:33.053 and environments created in programs like Unity or Unreal Engine 49 00:03:33.053 --> 00:03:36.941 which are then brought into After Effects for final touches 50 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:43.839 This project showcases a media art installation using multiple projectors for projection mapping 51 00:03:43.839 --> 00:03:46.579 in a three-dimensional space 52 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.399 By incorporating After Effects in media art production 53 00:03:51.399 --> 00:03:56.387 you can seamlessly integrate it with 3D work 54 00:03:56.679 --> 00:04:02.990 We've explored how motion graphics are utilized and provided examples to better understand their significance 55 00:04:03.320 --> 00:04:09.036 Let's look at how practical motion graphics workflows are carried out 56 00:04:09.559 --> 00:04:14.919 This next piece is a work I created last year titled Cheonan Fantasy 57 00:04:14.920 --> 00:04:18.876 It introduces the eight scenic views of Cheonan 58 00:04:18.895 --> 00:04:22.760 You can view it at the Cheonan Town Hall 59 00:04:22.760 --> 00:04:24.931 After watching the video 60 00:04:24.932 --> 00:04:41.732 we'll review the practical workflow of motion graphics production 61 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.842 The workflow for practical motion graphics is as follows 62 00:04:46.846 --> 00:04:50.678 While it can vary depending on the project's purpose and intent 63 00:04:50.679 --> 00:04:55.525 I'll introduce a general approach based on industry practices 64 00:04:56.440 --> 00:04:58.686 First, plan content 65 00:04:58.687 --> 00:05:03.668 Second, create a storyboard and key visuals 66 00:05:03.668 --> 00:05:07.959 Build the basic settings through 2D work 67 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:13.839 Fourth, produce 3D objects and environments as needed 68 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.614 If 2D and 3D creators collaborate 69 00:05:17.615 --> 00:05:20.296 steps 3 and 4 can proceed simultaneously 70 00:05:20.306 --> 00:05:27.679 Fifth, seamlessly combine 2D and 3D work using appropriate effects 71 00:05:27.679 --> 00:05:31.907 Finally, with completed work 72 00:05:31.907 --> 00:05:35.873 make final adjustments 73 00:05:35.874 --> 00:05:39.052 and deliver the content 74 00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:44.079 Let's take a closer look at each step 75 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:48.149 First, during the content planning stage 76 00:05:48.149 --> 00:05:51.416 research is conducted based on the project's theme 77 00:05:51.416 --> 00:05:56.114 followed by discussions on the narrative and its supporting methods to create a detailed plan 78 00:05:56.121 --> 00:06:00.317 Second, in the storyboarding stage 79 00:06:00.318 --> 00:06:05.830 a storyboard is created to flesh out the content with sketches and descriptions for each scene 80 00:06:05.832 --> 00:06:11.040 Through this process, the key visuals of the video are extracted 81 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:17.842 In the third stage, basic setup, tools like After Effects and other 2D-focused video editing programs are used 82 00:06:17.843 --> 00:06:23.109 to structure the timeline based on the storyboard 83 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:29.748 At this stage, the intro is designed as 84 00:06:29.749 --> 00:06:32.604 a title sequence 85 00:06:32.619 --> 00:06:40.881 Motion graphics are created for the outro to include necessary elements such as production companies, creators, or sponsors' logos 86 00:06:41.359 --> 00:06:44.974 Once the overall timeline setup is complete 87 00:06:44.975 --> 00:06:49.470 the fourth stage involves 3D production 88 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:56.000 This includes modeling 3D objects or creating 3D environments 89 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:01.309 In the fifth stage, the exported 3D elements are imported into After Effects 90 00:07:01.310 --> 00:07:04.634 and integrated into the basic timeline setup 91 00:07:04.651 --> 00:07:10.399 Final adjustments are made through post-production, such as applying effects and refining details to complete the content 92 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:16.160 The sixth and final stage involves on-site testing of the finished content 93 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.612 Any necessary adjustments are made based on the conditions at the site 94 00:07:20.613 --> 00:07:23.082 then the content is delivered 95 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:30.750 Typically, this six-step process is how motion graphics workflows are carried out, seamlessly combining 2D and 3D elements 96 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:37.119 Now that we've explored the meaning, outputs, and production process of motion graphics 97 00:07:37.119 --> 00:07:39.633 let's dive into the tool 98 00:07:39.634 --> 00:07:44.022 we'll be working with: After Effects 99 00:07:44.022 --> 00:07:48.010 How to Install After Effects and Basic Interface 100 00:07:48.010 --> 00:07:50.476 1. Practical Exercise: Installing After Effects 101 00:07:50.484 --> 00:07:57.505 Alright, everyone, let's start by installing After Effects 102 00:07:58.547 --> 00:08:04.894 To install it, you'll need to download the Adobe program 103 00:08:06.559 --> 00:08:09.769 Open a Naver browser window 104 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.011 Once you open it 105 00:08:15.760 --> 00:08:16.678 typing 106 00:08:20.320 --> 00:08:28.992 "Adobe" will bring up the Adobe Korea website 107 00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:33.919 Something like "Creative Cloud 50% Discount" will be displayed there 108 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.984 Click on the homepage link 109 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.552 After clicking 110 00:08:42.767 --> 00:08:46.397 you'll see options like "Buy" and "Free Trial" 111 00:08:46.866 --> 00:08:52.380 If you want to purchase it, go to the "Buy" section 112 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:59.130 It's categorized into Personal, Business, Students & Teachers, Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education 113 00:09:01.459 --> 00:09:03.339 Since many of you might be students 114 00:09:03.339 --> 00:09:06.380 the Students & Teachers option is more affordable 115 00:09:06.380 --> 00:09:11.919 so that you can purchase it through that option 116 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.440 It's for the All Apps plan 117 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.840 It's about all apps 118 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:24.880 People usually don't purchase Just After Effects alone 119 00:09:24.880 --> 00:09:30.062 This is because the files you work with 120 00:09:31.845 --> 00:09:36.049 are often interconnected with 121 00:09:36.050 --> 00:09:38.439 Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro 122 00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:42.367 Since these programs are linked 123 00:09:42.367 --> 00:09:44.887 purchasing them all together is better 124 00:09:44.887 --> 00:09:48.838 Buying a single program is more expensive 125 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:56.254 so the All Apps plan is the best choice 126 00:09:57.359 --> 00:10:02.010 When you click "Buy," you'll need to log in 127 00:10:02.010 --> 00:10:04.352 and create an account 128 00:10:04.479 --> 00:10:09.208 The process isn't difficult 129 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.647 It's not difficult 130 00:10:10.648 --> 00:10:16.285 If you want to try it out before purchasing 131 00:10:16.286 --> 00:10:18.640 there's a free trial 132 00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:24.830 Click on the free trial to use it for 7 days 133 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.761 You can do free trial for 7 days 134 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.750 Let's go through the download process together 135 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.767 Here, I've chosen the Students & Teachers option 136 00:10:37.128 --> 00:10:39.584 There's an additional 30-day free trial available 137 00:10:39.585 --> 00:10:45.263 Once you select this, click "Buy" 138 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.375 to proceed with the annual subscription plan 139 00:10:48.376 --> 00:10:52.048 which allows monthly payments 140 00:10:52.049 --> 00:10:54.209 This is the option I'll use 141 00:10:54.479 --> 00:10:57.845 Enter your card number 142 00:11:11.486 --> 00:11:14.435 and after completing the process 143 00:11:24.636 --> 00:11:30.080 click here and select After Effects 144 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:35.318 Always select "Allow" and then Open 145 00:11:35.324 --> 00:11:37.579 You may click this 146 00:11:37.876 --> 00:11:48.186 Once the app is clicked and downloaded 147 00:11:48.479 --> 00:11:56.114 you'll see a message saying the installation is complete 148 00:11:56.115 --> 00:11:59.541 After that, you can find it on your desktop 149 00:12:00.479 --> 00:12:03.990 With this, the installation is done 150 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:15.359 Next, we'll examine the interface 151 00:12:15.359 --> 00:12:17.456 We'll see 152 00:12:17.456 --> 00:12:22.305 When you open After Effects 153 00:12:22.306 --> 00:12:26.152 this screen appears 154 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:34.080 Each panel has a function 155 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.677 I'll zoom in to show you what each panel is for 156 00:12:38.678 --> 00:12:41.801 so you can examine it closer 157 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.566 Let's proceed 158 00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:48.409 Launching After Effects 159 00:12:48.410 --> 00:12:52.680 will show options for New Project and Open Project on the main screen 160 00:12:52.683 --> 00:12:55.388 These allow you to either create a new project 161 00:12:55.388 --> 00:12:59.719 or open an existing one 162 00:12:59.719 --> 00:13:05.280 Below that, on the left side, you’ll see an option for Team Projects 163 00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:09.823 which allows multiple people 164 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:19.919 to work on the same project simultaneously 165 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:25.200 On the large screen on the right, there’s a section for Recent Items 166 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:32.944 where you can view the projects you’ve worked on recently 167 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.111 From here 168 00:13:37.078 --> 00:13:42.123 if you close this window or select Open Project 169 00:13:42.131 --> 00:13:49.760 the menu bar will appear along with the main panels 170 00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:53.454 Let me explain each section 171 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:57.280 At the very top, you’ll find the Menu Bar 172 00:13:57.280 --> 00:13:58.840 This is important 173 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.846 because it allows you to perform 174 00:14:00.846 --> 00:14:06.652 major tasks by navigating options 175

00:15:16.960 Local Axis Mode 200 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:18.559 View Axis Mode 201 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.840 World Axis Mode 202 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.363 Snapping 203 00:15:22.364 --> 00:15:23.647 and 3D Layer Tools 204 00:15:23.647 --> 00:15:24.919 These tools are laid out like this 205 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:26.799 It's like this 206 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.239 It might seem like a lot 207 00:15:28.239 --> 00:15:29.382 A lot 208 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:36.119 You'll be able to use all these tools as you gradually learn 209 00:15:36.119 --> 00:15:38.280 There's no need to memorize them all 210 00:15:38.280 --> 00:15:39.751 There's no need to memorize them all 211 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.570 Just keep in mind that such tools exist, and let's move on 212 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:51.760 Below the toolbar is the Project Panel 213 00:15:51.760 --> 00:15:55.200 This panel imports and manages 214 00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:01.679 the source files for your project 215 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:06.283 Panel that manages source 216 00:16:06.298 --> 00:16:10.520 To work on something, you need to bring in the files you'll be using 217 00:16:10.520 --> 00:16:14.039 and this is where you import and organize them 218 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.840 Next, there's the largest pane 219 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.400 the Composition Panel 220 00:16:21.400 --> 00:16:23.947 where you can 221 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:32.255 preview and design your current project 222 00:16:32.257 --> 00:16:37.435 Here, you can see everything intuitively, whether images or videos 223 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.520 Below that is the Timeline Panel 224 00:16:40.520 --> 00:16:42.919 which is also very important 225 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:50.624 This is where you manage media files in a layer-based format 226 00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:56.840 Files imported into the project panel are dragged into the timeline panel 227 00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.039 and organized into layers 228 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.599 The composition panel will then display the results of your work 229 00:17:02.599 --> 00:17:05.793 All the panels are interconnected 230 00:17:07.841 --> 00:17:12.280 Next, the various panels needed for your work are on the right side 231 00:17:12.280 --> 00:17:16.069 Looking to the right, you'll see many options 232 00:17:16.959 --> 00:17:19.079 There are this much functions 233 00:17:19.080 --> 00:17:20.986 You can think like this 234 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.366 I'll explain each one step by step 235 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:27.439 Properties: Configure various layer attributes 236 00:17:27.439 --> 00:17:30.359 and check information 237 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.680 Audio: Review audio options 238 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.160 Effects and Presets: Search for and apply 239 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:38.439 This is important 240 00:17:38.439 --> 00:17:39.683 because 241 00:17:39.684 --> 00:17:42.591 you can create useful effects 242 00:17:42.596 --> 00:17:44.305 without designing them from scratch 243 00:17:45.164 --> 00:17:48.779 using the built-in effects available here 244 00:17:49.239 --> 00:17:53.719 Next is Align, which is used to align layers 245 00:17:53.719 --> 00:17:55.971 It align layers 246 00:17:56.760 --> 00:17:59.980 Then, there's Character and Paragraph 247 00:18:00.520 --> 00:18:01.319 which are pretty self-explanatory 248 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.359 These panels are for setting text styles 249 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:09.839 Since After Effects is often used to create text animations 250 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.989 you'll use these frequently 251 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:16.927 Let's stop here for now 252 00:18:19.979 --> 00:18:21.689 What panels did we cover? 253 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:28.400 The Project Panel, Composition Panel, and Timeline Panel 254 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.160 Additionally, we looked at panels where you can access various effects 255 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.749 It’s good to familiarize yourself with these 256 00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:40.385 and you should also have a basic understanding of the Menu Bar and Toolbar at the top 257 00:18:42.447 --> 00:18:50.459 If the interface comprises these panels 258 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:56.001 let’s consider the basic workflow 259 00:18:56.479 --> 00:18:59.119 First, you need to import files 260 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.000 Then, you need to create a new project 261 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.303 which is like preparing a blank canvas 262 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.400 After that, you create a new composition 263 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.549 where you set up the details of your canvas 264 00:19:10.760 --> 00:19:14.680 After doing a lot of work on the new composition 265 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.719 when you feel like you're done 266 00:19:16.719 --> 00:19:19.565 you can save your progress 267 00:19:20.719 --> 00:19:22.534 by selecting Save Project 268 00:19:23.810 --> 00:19:25.484 Saving means 269 00:19:27.280 --> 00:19:31.483 you can revisit and continue working on it later 270 00:19:32.719 --> 00:19:37.330 However, to view your completed work, you need to export the project file 271 00:19:37.479 --> 00:19:41.234 Exporting is the final step to make your work viewable 272 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:46.719 If you can handle these basic steps 273 00:19:46.719 --> 00:19:51.439 you'll have mastered the essentials 274 00:19:51.439 --> 00:19:57.479 For this first session, instead of trying to follow everything 275 00:19:57.479 --> 00:20:00.400 focus on understanding what exists, how the process works 276 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.880 and where it happens 277 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.520 You should learn those 278 00:20:08.520 --> 00:20:12.893 So, take it easy 279 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:17.558 To import files 280 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:24.359 go to the File menu in the top left corner of the menu bar 281 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.117 Click on it 282 00:20:27.163 --> 00:20:30.570 and you'll see options like New, Open Project, and, further down 283 00:20:32.239 --> 00:20:33.662 Import 284 00:20:34.062 --> 00:20:38.363 Select Import and then File 285 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.841 to bring in the file you want to work on 286 00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:48.479 However, going to the menu bar every time can be tedious 287 00:20:48.479 --> 00:20:51.640 so shortcuts are better 288 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.959 Ctrl+I 289 00:20:55.959 --> 00:21:01.222 For Mac users, it's Command+I 290 00:21:01.223 --> 00:21:04.727 Remember Ctrl+I or Command+I 291 00:21:04.959 --> 00:21:11.079 This is one of the basic shortcuts, and just learning this today will already be a big step forward 292 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:13.199 as you'll use it frequently while working 293 00:21:13.199 --> 00:21:15.368 To import files, use Ctrl+I 294 00:21:16.616 --> 00:21:19.894 If you want to create a new project 295 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:23.959 then 296 00:21:23.959 --> 00:21:25.925 go to File and select New 297 00:21:25.926 --> 00:21:29.665 From there, choose New Project to start a new project 298 00:21:30.134 --> 00:21:32.359 As mentioned 299 00:21:32.360 --> 00:21:34.179 there's also an option for New Team Project 300 00:21:34.280 --> 00:21:36.557 which allows 301 00:21:36.557 --> 00:21:41.249 multiple people to work on the same project simultaneously 302 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.119 It's what that means 303 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.188 Next is making new project 304 00:21:49.479 --> 00:21:51.199 New Composition 305 00:21:51.199 --> 00:21:57.760 which you'll probably use more often 306 00:21:58.543 --> 00:22:03.839 Think of it as creating a blank canvas 307 00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:09.599 To create a new composition, the shortcut is 308 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:12.040 Ctrl+N and Command+N 309 00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:15.989 Ctrl+N on Windows or Command+N on Mac 310 00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:19.719 You can use those 311 00:22:19.719 --> 00:22:20.994 Ctrl+N 312 00:22:20.995 --> 00:22:23.802 Without having to use shortcuts 313 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:29.160 there will be New Composition in the commposition panel 314 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:30.684 So 315 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:40.160 just click it to get started 316 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:43.235 The screen appears 317 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.075 Once you've completed your work in the composition 318 00:22:47.479 --> 00:22:54.520 go to File and select Save As to save your project 319 00:22:54.520 --> 00:22:56.925 You can name it 320 00:22:58.959 --> 00:23:04.862 whatever you prefer 321 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:15.239 However, if you're using the latest version of After Effects 322 00:23:15.239 --> 00:23:19.040 compatibility issues might arise when sharing 323 00:23:19.040 --> 00:23:25.680 So, since there are some versions that can be opened and some that cannot 324 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.160 if you need to downgrade 325 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:32.119 you can save a copy as the version below 326 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.994 and share it 327 00:23:36.701 --> 00:23:38.500 You can do like that 328 00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:45.280 Extracting the working file is also in the File menu 329 00:23:45.280 --> 00:23:47.943 If you export 330 00:23:48.719 --> 00:23:55.319 you can add it to the Adobe Media Encoder queue below and export it 331 00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.480 There are two ways, which I will cover later 332 00:24:03.543 --> 00:24:06.359 Let me organize the basic shortcut keys again 333 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:07.811 Basic shortcut keys 334 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.800 Create a new project is Ctrl-Alt-N 335 00:24:15.800 --> 00:24:22.721 And open a project is Ctrl-O 336 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:28.020 There are two, Ctrl-Alt-N, Ctrl-O 337 00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:32.850 After creating a project, you need to create a new composition 338 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:35.436 reate a new composition Ctrl-N 339 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:40.800 And after creating a new composition 340 00:24:40.800 --> 00:24:45.560 you can change the settings of that composition 341 00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:52.161 In the middle of working, you can do Ctrl-K 342 00:24:53.209 --> 00:24:57.000 There are times when you need to select everything in the middle of working 343 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.069 In that case, Ctrl-A 344 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.160 And to undo, Ctrl-Z is very useful 345 00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.599 Yes, you all know Ctrl-Z 346 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:11.351 And Ctrl-C is for copying, Ctrl-V is for pasting 347 00:25:11.351 --> 00:25:12.155 Easy 348 00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:17.439 Ctrl-S, Save project 349 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.440 Saving the project 350 00:25:19.222 --> 00:25:27.359 And Ctrl-Shift-S, Save project as 351 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:30.680 Ctrl-Shift-S, Save project as 352 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:36.435 You should always make it a habit to keep pressing Ctrl-S in the middle of working 353 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.319 Next, Ctrl-Alt-M 354 00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:41.872 What's that M? 355 00:25:41.873 --> 00:25:48.266 Add Composition to Encoding Queue in Adobe Media Encoder 356 00:25:50.554 --> 00:25:57.903 That means we will hand it over to the Media Encoder for rendering 357 00:25:58.479 --> 00:26:04.588 Ctrl-M, just Ctrl-M, is Add to Render Queue 358 00:26:04.959 --> 00:26:10.491 You can add to the render queue right here in After Effects itself 359 00:26:10.491 --> 00:26:13.279 So there are two ways to do it 360 00:26:13.281 --> 00:26:16.868 so just memorize them both 361 00:26:18.840 --> 00:26:27.228 You may or may not continue to use the shortcuts in the beginning 362 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.400 but I'm only going to introduce the basic shortcuts 363 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:38.000 because they're so convenient once you memorize them and use them 364 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.169 So they're not difficult 365 00:26:42.170 --> 00:26:48.053 so I hope you memorize them as well as possible 366 00:26:48.053 --> 00:26:51.928 Practice: Launching After Effects 367 00:26:52.199 --> 00:26:56.640 Let's run it 368 00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.198 Let's do it together 369 00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:03.434 First, open After Effects 370 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.257 If you open it 371 00:27:11.250 --> 00:27:13.513 I'll arrange it so it's easy to see 372 00:27:16.040 --> 00:27:22.005 Usually, you'll have this kind of configuration 373 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:28.599 What was New Composition here? 374 00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:34.089 Command-N or Ctrl-N 375 00:27:34.090 --> 00:27:37.374 What will come out when you press it? 376 00:27:37.520 --> 00:27:40.231 Composition settings will come out 377 00:27:40.231 --> 00:27:50.706 Here, I'll name the composition New Composition 378 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:52.945 I'll name it like this 379 00:27:54.800 --> 00:28:03.255 and since I usually work at 1920x1080 380 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.464 I'll name it like this 381 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:13.501 Below, you can set the Frame Rate to 29.97 382 00:28:15.536 --> 00:28:18.800 and the important thing is Duration 383 00:28:18.800 --> 00:28:21.210 The Duration part is 384 00:28:21.210 --> 00:28:31.502 how long I'll do this composition 385 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:34.952 Right now, it's set to 10 seconds 386 00:28:35.760 --> 00:28:40.000 I don't usually work long hours in After Effects 387 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.000 That's because unless my computer specs are really good 388 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.410 it often stutters 389 00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:52.599 so I usually briefly work on the important effects in After Effects 390 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.760 and then transfer it to Premiere 391 00:28:56.760 --> 00:29:02.959 That's why I'm going to do it for 10 seconds 392 00:29:02.959 --> 00:29:07.880 You can use the default background color 393 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:13.099 If you do this and press OK, a new composition will be created 394 00:29:14.439 --> 00:29:17.488 Why does it appear red like this? 395 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:20.920 It's because Caps Lock is on 396 00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.736 If you press Caps Lock, it will turn off 397 00:29:25.199 --> 00:29:26.676 If you do this 398 00:29:26.676 --> 00:29:31.439 a new composition icon will appear in the project panel 399 00:29:31.439 --> 00:29:35.400 and a new composition with a name I gave 400 00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:41.190 will appear in the timeline panel 401 00:29:43.040 --> 00:29:44.885 Are you done yet? 402 00:29:45.199 --> 00:29:48.305 So what should we do now? 403 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:57.614 What should we do to work? 404 00:29:59.760 --> 00:30:01.359 We need a file 405 00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:05.160 What I just pressed was Ctrl+I 406 00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:07.119 I'm going to load a file 407 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:09.319 On a Macbook, it's Command+I 408 00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:13.920 I've given you the sources for Lesson 1, 2, 3, and 4 409 00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:23.435 Set them all on your desktop 410 00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:25.439 and then press Ctrl+I 411 00:30:25.439 --> 00:30:29.119 to find the folder on your desktop 412 00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.319 If you look at the Lesson 1 file, there's something called 413 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:34.479 Lecture Source 414 00:30:34.479 --> 00:30:36.839 There's a basketball there 415 00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:41.239 Let's select the basketball and double-click it 416 00:30:41.239 --> 00:30:46.560 Then, the basketball png file will appear in the project panel 417 00:30:46.560 --> 00:30:48.224 I hope you imported it correctly 418 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.843 If you've loaded it correctly 419 00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:59.599 drag it like this and drag it to the timeline panel 420 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:04.822 and it will appear in the composition like this 421 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:10.560 At this time, let's take a look at the timeline 422 00:31:10.560 --> 00:31:12.980 This looks like this 423 00:31:14.040 --> 00:31:19.048 and if you click on it 424 00:31:19.049 --> 00:31:20.762 it says transform 425 00:31:20.762 --> 00:31:22.760 If you scroll down like this 426 00:31:22.760 --> 00:31:34.520 you'll see a basic transformation function that can handle this file in the timeline 427 00:31:34.520 --> 00:31:38.173 You can just think like this 428 00:31:39.280 --> 00:31:42.286 The basketball looks a bit too big 429 00:31:42.760 --> 00:31:44.591 So we're going to reduce 430 00:31:44.592 --> 00:31:45.855 this scale and size 431 00:31:45.855 --> 00:31:47.042 How do we reduce it? 432 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.429 100%, this means that this file is really big 433 00:31:53.280 --> 00:31:56.160 I gave you a big file 434 00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:03.280 and if you hover the cursor over it like this, it will appear like this on both sides 435 00:32:03.280 --> 00:32:04.735 What does it show? 436 00:32:04.735 --> 00:32:06.952 This arrow sign appears 437 00:32:06.961 --> 00:32:10.810 and if you drag it 438 00:32:10.810 --> 00:32:15.359 left, right, left, right 439 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.640 the number will decrease when it goes to the left 440 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:20.040 and increase when it goes to the right 441 00:32:20.040 --> 00:32:23.758 We have to reduce it, so let's reduce it all the way 442 00:32:25.692 --> 00:32:26.825 Basketball 443 00:32:27.419 --> 00:32:29.596 Now you know it's a basketball 444 00:32:30.800 --> 00:32:35.319 If you can show it like this 445 00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:36.880 you did a good job 446 00:32:37.475 --> 00:32:38.704 Okay 447 00:32:41.457 --> 00:32:44.760 You're done with the basketball 448 00:32:44.760 --> 00:32:49.520 So, what did I tell you to do? 449 00:32:49.520 --> 00:32:51.319 I said, do Ctrl+S 450 00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.239 I will save it with Ctrl+S 451 00:32:53.239 --> 00:32:57.199 When you save it for the first time, there is no name 452 00:32:57.199 --> 00:33:00.585 so since we didn't open the project initially 453 00:33:01.479 --> 00:33:03.599 it says untitled 454 00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:05.130 I'll save it on the desktop 455 00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:07.956 Good? 456 00:33:08.150 --> 00:33:09.988 If it's saved, you can rest assured 457 00:33:09.990 --> 00:33:13.202 Don't worry, go to the file 458 00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:16.067 and export it 459 00:33:16.067 --> 00:33:17.725 Export it 460 00:33:17.730 --> 00:33:20.027 I taught you earlier 461 00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.322 Render Queue 462 00:33:22.322 --> 00:33:23.421 I'll do the second one 463 00:33:23.430 --> 00:33:28.280 You have to download the media encoder queue 464 00:33:28.280 --> 00:33:32.839 so if you do Render Queue, there will be a second position in the timeline panel 465 00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:35.520 and Render Queue will appear 466 00:33:35.520 --> 00:33:36.880 next to it 467 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:42.765 If you click on Second Position here 468 00:33:43.719 --> 00:33:46.880 click on Function 469 00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:49.839 and you'll see the settings 470 00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:51.439 blah blah blah 471 00:33:51.439 --> 00:33:53.199 We'll do this next time 472 00:33:53.199 --> 00:33:54.860 The time after that 473 00:33:54.861 --> 00:33:56.178 First, click OK 474 00:33:57.478 --> 00:34:00.959 and when it asks where you want to put Output 2 475 00:34:00.959 --> 00:34:03.719 select the desktop 476 00:34:03.719 --> 00:34:06.959 and save it 477 00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:14.080 Set where you want to save it 478 00:34:14.080 --> 00:34:16.000 and now the Render will appear 479 00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.439 When you click Render 480 00:34:19.439 --> 00:34:23.600 You'll hear a ding sound 481 00:34:23.600 --> 00:34:25.502 like it's done 482 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:27.399 Yes, it's done 483 00:34:27.399 --> 00:34:29.209 Yes, that's it 484 00:34:30.548 --> 00:34:32.404 So today 485 00:34:35.399 --> 00:34:38.560 we've quickly opened a project 486 00:34:38.560 --> 00:34:41.679 created a project, created a composition 487 00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:43.639 imported a file 488 00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:49.423 processed the imported file a little bit in the timeline 489 00:34:50.439 --> 00:34:53.439 exported it, saved it 490 00:34:53.439 --> 00:34:55.639 and even extracted it 491 00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:59.239 so I've just gone over the process of a year 492 00:34:59.698 --> 00:35:03.199 That's the basic process 493 00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:08.280 There will be a lot of effects in the process 494 00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:13.879 but for now, just know that 495 00:35:13.879 --> 00:35:15.894 this is the process 496 00:35:18.399 --> 00:35:20.159 You may feel that it is too fast 497 00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.276 that you don't know what's what 498 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:26.489 and that it is a bit difficult 499 00:35:26.959 --> 00:35:30.679 Of course, that is the case at this stage 500 00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:34.233 All the panels may feel unfamiliar 501 00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:40.970 but if you understand that this is the process 502 00:35:41.399 --> 00:35:46.990 you can consider today's class a success 503 00:35:48.439 --> 00:35:52.027 Just familiarize yourself with the shortcuts 504 00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:56.239 In this class, we learned what motion graphics are 505 00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:58.000 and how the motion graphics 506 00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:01.942 workflow works when working 507 00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:05.520 We also learned about the basic interface 508 00:36:05.520 --> 00:36:07.679 of the tool called After Effects 509 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:12.856 which is used to create 2D content in the motion graphics production process 510 00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:17.800 Since it was the first class, there were more theoretical explanations than practical exercises 511 00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:22.199 Basically, it would be good to think of this as a time 512 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:25.879 to understand the process of not just creating content blindly 513 00:36:25.879 --> 00:36:28.639 but, rather, what purpose we have 514 00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:34.959 what process we go through, and what results we can achieve 515 00:36:34.959 --> 00:36:39.520 Then, let's wrap up by summarizing what we learned in this session 516 00:36:39.520 --> 00:36:41.520 Thank you 517 00:36:42.613 --> 00:36:45.285 Motion graphic workflow Content planning Storyboard and key visual production Basic setup with 2D work Creating necessary parts for 3D objects and environments 518 00:36:45.285 --> 00:36:47.734 Naturally combining 2D and 3D On-site testing and inspection of completed work 519 00:36:47.734 --> 00:36:49.969 How to install AfterEffects and the basic interface Panel Project panel: Function to import and manage project sources Composition
