| "text": "Now that our animation is completed, it's time to export it as a movie so you can show it to your clients and your development team. So the first step to export your animation is first of all to crop your composition to the desired area that you want to export. Because right now, as we can see in our timeline, we have a timeline that goes from 0 all the way to 55 seconds. So if we leave it that way, when we do our export, we're going to export all of the 55 seconds. We're going to have 45 seconds of nothing. So we don't want that. We don't want to have a really long movie for nothing. So all we want is the first, I guess, 12 seconds of our animation here to show our clients. So to crop our composition, all we have to do is select our work area. So these handles here can change the work area and will change what will be exported in your composition. So we want to export from the beginning to only about 12 seconds. So I'm just going to zoom in here and put the end at 12 seconds. All right, perfect. So now we're ready to export our composition here, but only the the 12 first seconds To export your composition all you have to do is go to composition at the top here and Go to add to Adobe Media Encoder So in order to export your your After Effects file into a mp4 file So a video file that you'll be able to share online, you have to export it through Media Encoder. So you click on Add to Adobe Media Encoder, which is another application from Adobe that I have opened here. It comes with the Adobe Suite and it comes with AfterEffect and we use it to export and convert video files. So now I have my composition that just appeared here. It can take a few seconds to appear and we want to export it to a desired location so we decide where to output our files. I'm just going to name it Pongeram Motion. the presets, that's where I'm going to go and select the preset that I want. So the MP4 preset for videos. And now it opens up our export setting window in which we see that we have only the few first seconds here that are going to be exported. And we go into format and we have to choose H264. So this H264 is the usual preset that we use for MP4 videos. It's really well compressed and not too heavy. So I'm just gonna use this and leave it at high bit rate. We could choose medium bit rate also to have something that's a bit lighter. And we just click on OK. Now we're ready to export. So we have to press on the little play button here to start exporting our video. Right now it says start queue, but it's because we could have multiple files here and export them all at once. Right now I only have this one, so I'm gonna press the play button and we see that it's processing my video. And in a few seconds seconds here we see a 50 seconds we're going to have a video that is ready i'm just going to jump right away to that point all right so now the video is exported i can just go to my desktop and i see that i have my mp4 file with my video of the animation that we just created together for After effect doesn't export the background color so if you don't put a shape of the background color that you want in the background of your of your composition you're gonna get a black background even if your composition was on white here My settings if I changed it from dark gray to white It would export with a black background. So it doesn't take into consideration the color of the background in the setting when you export it. So you have to create a shape. That's what I do. I create a shape of the right color. I just put in my composition at the bottom and now if we were to re-export it, it would be the right color.", | |
