OUIL504 - Studio Brief 2 - Adobe After Effects workshop

Adobe After Effects CC

Starting page



Project Panel - Library of assets for you to use in your animation, you can only use images for an animation once they are imported into there.


The timeline - Always us to specify what happens at a particular moment in time.
Kind of like the layers panel in Photoshop.

Main panel gives you a preview of what your animation will look like after you've exported it.

Steps
1. Import your images and assests
2. Use your timeline to asses how it looks in the main panel
3. Use the main panel to make sure you are happy with the finished piece.


Preset animation requirements



Layer > New > Solid...
Adds first new layer when main panel is selected
By default the layer will last for the whole duration of the project


You can change how long the layer lasts by dragging the red bar.

Using the RAM preview works better than just pressing play. Using RAM play will give you a realtime playback speed.
