| "text": "Okay, we will be using two plugins for After Effects in this course. They're both free, so don't panic. Now the first one is ease copy by Mike Overbeck and that is available from AEScripts.com and it is currently name your own price so you can put as much or as little as you want to pay for it in here. Now I just love this plugin because it is a utility that After Effects doesn't really offer. And you install like any other unzip it, drag that folder into your ScriptUI folder. And once it's installed, you can access to this window that you'll find down here, ease copy, and a nice panel that looks like this. Now there's not many buttons, but the few we're gonna be using is essentially copy and paste ease. Now this allows you to copy the amount of easing, not necessarily the property values, and then paste them onto another property. Now I'll show you what I mean. So here we've got this square and we've got three rotation keyframes on it and we could take a look at that in the graph editor and looks pretty nice We've got some custom easing on here and we also have a second version of our square here and it's got the same rotation property But it also has some animation on the scale as well So it's scale is changing but we want that scale to animate for the exact same time as the rotation is so we can easy ease those Go into the graph editor and try to eyeball it and we might get close But we're not going to get it perfect. So what we do is we can simply select the rotation keyframes, hit copy, select the scale keyframes and press paste ease. So now the scale is animating at the exact same speed as our rotation. And you can copy and paste the easing from any amount of keyframes, one, two or 200, just select the ones you select the ones you want to copy the easing from, hit copy, select the ones you want to paste it onto and hit paste. Just make sure you have the same number of keyframes in both. Now this is really useful when you get one property animated the way you want it and then you want to quickly apply that to another and then you can tweak these properties to make adjustments if you need to but you've got a solid base already started if that's what you want. Super simple quick and easy it's probably worth more than any plugin I've paid the big dollars for and if you find that you love it as much as I do you can go and buy it again and put a fair price in for it. And we will also be using doing Basil 2. And you can download that from rainboxlab.org, but I will cover that once we get into week seven, so no rush for that yet. But for everything else, we are using Barebones After Effects. And the whole course was recorded using After Effects 2021, but pretty much everything should work as long as you're on After Effects and MCC 16 or above.", | |
