+  "text": " All right, welcome back to our third animation video. Now in this video, we're gonna have a look at how to create a few different effects, mainly around wiggle and bounce effects. So the first effect we're gonna create is this highlighter effect. And it also has this sort of jittery, what they call a posterized look over the top. Again, I've supplied all the files for you to download as part of your download package. So what I'm gonna do is just right click, create a new composition here. You can set this to be whatever dimensions you want and duration is about five seconds. And I'm just gonna grab my newspaper layer and drag it here underneath. Now what I can do is just resize this because it's not the right dimensions for this. So I just need to resize this so that we can get it into the right position. And now I want to actually create that highlighter effect over the top. So the way we can do this is by selecting the rectangle tool, I can choose the color of the highlight that I want. So I'm just going to have a yellow and I don't want a stroke effect. Then I can just draw out a bar that kind of goes over like this. And then I need to reposition it. So what I'm going to do is just basically grab my I'm just going to move my cursor here to rotate it like this. and then I can also resize this by holding shift or I can just resize this to make it fit over my text. Now I actually want to see through that highlighter effect and that's really easy to do. All we have to do is come down to the modes and then change the mode setting to be multiply. And what that does is allows us to see through that but keep the detail of whatever it is in the background. So we've got this paper in the background and it's allowing us to have a bit of that detail come through. So I can use my rotation tool here just to refine that shape a little bit, and then we've got that to where we need it. Now I want to animate this. So I can come down to the rectangle settings, and under the transform properties, I can create a scale keyframe here at the start. I want to turn off this little constraint, and that will allow us just to change one axis of this. So we want it starting in from this side. The other thing we also have to do, like we did before, was move the anchor point. So come up to the pan behind tool, I reposition this over here. And now when we scale up and down on this, we get that effect. So what I can do is just create a keyframe here at the start, I move along, create another one. And with my first keyframe, I'm gonna scale this first number down to zero. So now we have that effect. What I can also do is right click, Make these easy ease, come into the graph editor here, and then just scale up on this. So we get that sort of smooth animation effect. I can even drag out on these if I wanna make that slower or faster. It's up to you. With that layer selected, I can also come back up to the settings and I can change the color to be whatever I like. So you don't have to use a yellow, you can use whatever. It just depends on the overall look that you're going for. Now to take that layer, if I wanted to highlight something else, I can just duplicate it. And now because we have a layer that's already animated, I can just move it to somewhere else on my timeline. So if I wanted to highlight a small part here, what I can do is if I hit U on the keyboard, I can now select those and then basically animate them and readjust to make it fit that text. So again, if I go back to the start, I've got to make this first one zero again, just so it animates from the start. And there we go, we have that animation again that we've just duplicated. Now, one of the thing that I see done in a lot of videos, it's quite popular now, is to have basically what looks like a slow frame rate effect. It's called a posterize, and you'll notice that it's used a lot in different types of animations. Now, it's really easy to do, but there's two ways you can apply it. You can either apply it directly to the layer that you want to affect. So if I just wanted to affect this animation, I could apply it to that. Otherwise, I can apply it to a adjustment layer. So I create an adjustment layer. I come up to effect down to time and I apply the posterize time effect. Now this by default should match the composition settings that you've set. But if not, all you have to do is just drop this down. So all this is doing is basically just allowing you to play back at a different frame rate. So if my composition here is set to 29.97 frames a second, I can say I want all these layers underneath to play back at 12. So it's not gonna be as smooth in its playback. Now you might be thinking, why don't you wanna make it smooth? Well, this is a look that has become very popularized through different videos. And if you wanna apply it to your work, then this is how you apply it. Another thing we can do is also create a null object. Take all those layers underneath and parent them to the null. I'm not including the adjustment layer because the adjustment layer sits over the top. We don't want to affect that. And then I can create a scale and position keyframe. I can hit U to bring up those keyframes. And then I'm going to zoom in here and reposition this. And then I can also make these easy E's. And if I go into my graph edit up, I can drag in on these points. And that's just going to make it look a lot more interesting by zooming in. Another thing I can also do is turn on motion blur for all those layers. And again, that just adds a more interesting look. So that's how you create the highlighter effect. And that's how you use the posterized time. going to be using the posterized time effect a lot through these different animations. So it's a good effect to get your head around. And now you know what it is. You'll start to see it used in a lot of different videos. In this next animation, I'm going to show you a few different techniques for highlighting text. This is something that has also become very popular through mainstream videos. And I want to show you a few different ways of doing this. So I'm just going to right click create a new composition here. So all I've done here I just add a background and I've got my text laid out here. Then I just want to add an animation to this. Now for this, I'm going to use two. I'm using fade up words, which is one of them. So it does this fade up effect. And I also want to use this straight in by words as well. Now what I can do is I can come down to my second animator and I can change the position here of this. So I can make sure the first number is set to zero. And then I can off center this. And what this does is it just allows me to basically create a position for that second animation. If I bring this up, I can decrease this. And if I make sure those two are lined up, I can also right click on these and make them easy ease. So you can also drag out on this to control that overall speed. So there's a good example of where you can layer two of the animation presets to get some different results. And I recommend doing this because it'll just help take that animation to that next level. So to highlight, we're looking at two different examples here, one is I want to show you how to create a highlight effect around the outside. And the other one, I'm going to show you how to create a highlight effect of the text itself. So what I want to do is I want to just create my rectangle tool and just highlight the part that I want to basically, or the text that I want to highlight. If I move that anchor position, I can hit S on the keyboard and then scale this right down so that it starts at zero. Create a key frame there, move across my timeline and then bring this up as far as I need it to be, so probably to there. I can also take these right click, make them easy ease and that just creates that highlighter effect. I can also add a bit of motion blur to that. At the moment, it's on top of the text, so we just wanna create the first type. So with my layer selected, I'm going to come up to effect down to channel and I can apply the set matte. Then I can make sure that that is selected as the text. Now you'll see here that it's automatically now highlighting just the text that we need. So I can always go through and readjust this if I want it to go out further or less. And that's how you create that highlighter effect. So what I can do for the second one is If I duplicate this, I can off center it. And now what I'm going to do is move it down here. Hit U on the keyboard, I can bring up those animation keyframes and I can drag this out. So I want it to basically start as that text is coming in here. So maybe a little bit more here. So something like that, I can speed this up. And because we already have that set mat applied, if I hit invert mat, we now are basically creating that box which sits behind our text. Now, if you were just going for this straight effect, you could just create that effect and drag it underneath your text and not have a set mat. And it'll do pretty much the exact same thing. But if you do it this way, it just gives you a little bit more control. I can also come in here and just change the color. And now when I play through, there you go, we have that finished effect. So that's how you create those highlighting text effects. You see it all the time in various videos. Now you know how to do it and you can apply it to your own videos. So this is what we're gonna be creating next, which is this wiggle text effect. And it's something that's also become very popular. So I'm gonna start by creating a new composition. And then I'm going to right click and create a new background here. This can be whatever you want, it doesn't matter. And then I'm going to add some text that sits over the top. So I've just typed out some text here and just put it onto my timeline. Then I want to add an animation preset to that. So I come over here under the animation presets for text and I'm going to use the fade up characters. I can hit U to bring up those keyframes and just move this in. And then we have that simple fade on effect. So now I want to create that wiggle look. So with my text select that I'm gonna come up to effect to distort and add the turbulent displace. Now this is what a turbulent displace does. It basically creates this distorted look to your images. Now we can use this to create all sort of distortion effects. But here what I'm going to do is I'm going to scale the amount up and then I'm going to bring the size right down. So something like that. So we get that little distortion effect. If you bring this up you'll get more or less of that. So you can see it kind of applies this sort of distorted look to your text or your image whatever you're applying it to. And now to animate it we can use the Evolution Slider. Now an easy way of animating the Evolution Slider is by using an expression. So what I can do is have a hold option, Altima keyboard, I can click the little stopwatch of the evolution and that opens up what we call an expression. Now we're going to look at different expressions throughout this course but a very basic expression that you can use is time times and then the number that you want to use. So in this case I'm going to use 2000 and then when I hit enter basically all that does it cycles through that evolution slider at a set rate. So that's really handy instead of trying to animate multiple keyframes if we want it to move at a set rate. That's where the time function or the expression comes in and it's really handy for that particular effect. So that's how you create that wiggle style text. It's quite simple, but it does demonstrate a few things that we're gonna use in this course. So in this next video, we're gonna have a look at how to create bouncing text or this sort of elastic style text. So there's a lot of different ways you can create sort of bouncing or elastic text, but I wanna show you one method that I use that is a little bit easier than the others. So I'm gonna right click, create a new composition. So all I've done here is just add a background. It can be whatever you want, whatever color, and I've also added just a simple letter or whatever you're going to use here. You do have to apply this effect to an individual letter or number. So you can't just apply it to a whole word. You can, but it's not gonna look anywhere near as good. So an easy way to do this is by using an effect called Smear. So with that last select that I can come up to effect down to Distort and I want to add the CC Smear. Now there's two in here. There's one which is called Smear and then there's CC Smear. The CC Smear is the one that we're going to be using for this. Now you can see when I drag these little points around it's already distorting my text. So this could be quite an interesting effect if you wanted to create some liquid style text. Again, this is why I use this because it's just a really easy way to do this and it's quite an effective way. So you could mess around with that to create some interesting look. So what I want to do first is start with both the mine in the middle because the distortion is only applied when these are at different points. So if they're on top of each other in the middle, it won't apply any effect. So now what I want to do is create keyframes for my to and my from, I can bring those up by hitting U. And now I want to start moving the two up here. So what that does is it basically creates this movement like the letters being squished downward. Now at the same time, I also want to bring the radius up so I can bring this right up and that just kind of creates a bigger area, bigger circle that this is affecting, right? So it gives it a bit more of that bounce that we're kind of going for. So I can bring this up. Then I want to create another sort of from point here because I don't want this part to move. And at the end here, I want this one to kind of go down. I want my from to kind of come down but I'm gonna drag up on my two. So it kind of creates this reverse effect here. So you can see what we've kind of created is this sort of like it's it's compressing to get that energy and then it's releasing it all to kind of fly upwards. So we're kind of getting that effect. What I can also do is take all of these and make them easy ease. And this is a really good tutorial to kind of get used to trying to animate real life. So you got to try and think about how a ball would bounce. That's what you're trying to replicate here. Now at the same time this is coming up, what I want to do is bring my position in. So I'm going to create a keyframe for my position, hit you to bring up all those keyframes. And I want to scale this up, right? and then bring it back down. So I can copy that key frame, paste it over here, make these all easy ease. So that kind of creates this bounce, right? Cause we want it to kind of go up in the air and then come back down. So what I can do is take those same key frames, paste them in here, and then I'm basically going to reverse this. So I'm copying that key frame like this, just pasting that in there, and then just copying these N key frames, moving them down like that. I can also readjust these by bringing them in if I wanna readjust that timing. The other thing I can do is also turn on motion blur for the layer and for the entire composition. And there you go, we've kind of got that bouncing effect. From this point, I recommend just messing around with this effect. And that's really where you're going to learn the most by just taking one of these effects and messing around with it to see what interesting things you can come up with. Another good tip here is to look at real life. So look at things you've seen in real life. Maybe grab a video clip of a ball bouncing, putting it in After Effects and trying to animate this over the top to try and follow that. Cause it'll teach you a lot of things about how to animate real world objects. You can also add just a simple fade on effect by creating an opacity key frame here at the start and the end. That just creates that fade on effect. Now to create another one, all you have to do is just duplicate your layer. Now when you try and move this layer across, you're gonna see that all the animation basically gets thrown out, right? So even if I take this and I basically turn this off, all of these are going to be thrown out, right? It's not gonna sit in the same place. So one way we can get around that, because that is a problem that happens in After Effects, what you can do is if I duplicate the layer and come up to the effects controls, I can add the transform to that under the distort settings. And what that allows me to do is move that layer or off center it, and it moves all of those together. So it's an easy way of doing that. If I off center this now, now you've got the effect basically playing one after the other. So that's another way. And this is a really good function and an easy function to use. Whereas using the transform settings down here, it doesn't apply to the whole thing. It will affect the overall animation. So as I move this down, the original effect itself does not move with it. Whereas when I move this, it also moves these to make it basically match. So that's just something you want to be aware of. Now the last part of this is I've also added a test yourself part into this course. So this is the animation that I would like you to go and have a go at trying to make. It uses all the same techniques that we looked at in the previous videos, but it puts it all into one animation. Now I'm not going to show you a tutorial on how to make this, but I will supply this project file here as a download. So if you want to follow along or you get stuck or you're not sure, then just use that as a reference. But I recommend just having a look at it first and then trying to animate it yourself. I've also supplied all the files you'll need in order to make this as part of your download pack as well. So that's it for this video. If you have any questions about this particular video or any of the videos in this course, and darn hesitate to let me know.",

And with my first keyframe, I'm gonna scale this first number down to zero. So now we have that effect. What I can also do is right click, Make these easy ease, come into the graph editor here, and then just scale up on this. So we get that sort of smooth animation effect. I can even drag out on these if I wanna make that slower or faster. It's up to you. With that layer selected, I can also come back up to the settings and I can change the color to be whatever I like. So you don't have to use a yellow, you can use whatever. It just depends on the overall look that you're going for. Now to take that layer, if I wanted to highlight something else, I can just duplicate it. And now because we have a layer that's already animated, I can just move it to somewhere else on my timeline. So if I wanted to highlight a small part here, what I can do is if I hit U on the keyboard, I can now select those and then basically animate them and readjust to make it fit that text. So again, if I go back to the start, I've got to make this first one zero again, just so it animates from the start. And there we go, we have that animation again that we've just duplicated. Now, one of the thing that I see done in a lot of videos, it's quite popular now, is to have basically what looks like a slow frame rate effect. It's called a posterize, and you'll notice that it's used a lot in different types of animations. Now, it's really easy to do, but there's two ways you can apply it. You can either apply it directly to the layer that you want to affect. So if I just wanted to affect this animation, I could apply it to that. Otherwise, I can apply it to a adjustment layer. So I create an adjustment layer. I come up to effect down to time and I apply the posterize time effect. Now this by default should match the composition settings that you've set. But if not, all you have to do is just drop this down. So all this is doing is basically just allowing you to play back at a different frame rate. So if my composition here is set to 29.97 frames a second, I can say I want all these layers underneath to play back at 12. So it's not gonna be as smooth in its playback. Now you might be thinking, why don't you wanna make it smooth? Well, this is a look that has become very popularized through different videos. And if you wanna apply it to your work, then this is how you apply it. Another thing we can do is also create a null object. Take all those layers underneath and parent them to the null. I'm not including the adjustment layer because the adjustment layer sits over the top. We don't want to affect that. And then I can create a scale and position keyframe. I can hit U to bring up those keyframes. And then I'm going to zoom in here and reposition this. And then I can also make these easy E's. And if I go into my graph edit up, I can drag in on these points. And that's just going to make it look a lot more interesting by zooming in. Another thing I can also do is turn on motion blur for all those layers. And again, that just adds a more interesting look. So that's how you create the highlighter effect. And that's how you use the posterized time. going to be using the posterized time effect a lot through these different animations. So it's a good effect to get your head around. And now you know what it is. You'll start to see it used in a lot of different videos. In this next animation, I'm going to show you a few different techniques for highlighting text. This is something that has also become very popular through mainstream videos. And I want to show you a few different ways of doing this. So I'm just going to right click create a new composition here. So all I've done here I just add a background and I've got my text laid out here. Then I just want to add an animation to this. Now for this, I'm going to use two. I'm using fade up words, which is one of them. So it does this fade up effect. And I also want to use this straight in by words as well. Now what I can do is I can come down to my second animator and I can change the position here of this. So I can make sure the first number is set to zero. And then I can off center this. And what this does is it just allows me to basically create a position for that second animation. If I bring this up, I can decrease this. And if I make sure those two are lined up, I can also right click on these and make them easy ease. So you can also drag out on this to control that overall speed. So there's a good example of where you can layer two of the animation presets to get some different results. And I recommend doing this because it'll just help take that animation to that next level. So to highlight, we're looking at two different examples here, one is I want to show you how to create a highlight effect around the outside. And the other one, I'm going to show you how to create a highlight effect of the text itself. So what I want to do is I want to just create my rectangle tool and just highlight the part that I want to basically, or the text that I want to highlight. If I move that anchor position, I can hit S on the keyboard and then scale this right down so that it starts at zero. Create a key frame there, move across my timeline and then bring this up as far as I need it to be, so probably to there. I can also take these right click, make them easy ease and that just creates that highlighter effect. I can also add a bit of motion blur to that. At the moment, it's on top of the text, so we just wanna create the first type. So with my layer selected, I'm going to come up to effect down to channel and I can apply the set matte. Then I can make sure that that is selected as the text. Now you'll see here that it's automatically now highlighting just the text that we need. So I can always go through and readjust this if I want it to go out further or less. And that's how you create that highlighter effect. So what I can do for the second one is If I duplicate this, I can off center it. And now what I'm going to do is move it down here. Hit U on the keyboard, I can bring up those animation keyframes and I can drag this out. So I want it to basically start as that text is coming in here. So maybe a little bit more here. So something like that, I can speed this up. And because we already have that set mat applied, if I hit invert mat, we now are basically creating that box which sits behind our text. Now, if you were just going for this straight effect, you could just create that effect and drag it underneath your text and not have a set mat. And it'll do pretty much the exact same thing. But if you do it this way, it just gives you a little bit more control. I can also come in here and just change the color. And now when I play through, there you go, we have that finished effect. So that's how you create those highlighting text effects. You see it all the time in various videos. Now you know how to do it and you can apply it to your own videos. So this is what we're gonna be creating next, which is this wiggle text effect. And it's something that's also become very popular. So I'm gonna start by creating a new composition. And then I'm going to right click and create a new background here. This can be whatever you want, it doesn't matter. And then I'm going to add some text that sits over the top. So I've just typed out some text here and just put it onto my timeline. Then I want to add an animation preset to that. So I come over here under the animation presets for text and I'm going to use the fade up characters. I can hit U to bring up those keyframes and just move this in. And then we have that simple fade on effect. So now I want to create that wiggle look. So with my text select that I'm gonna come up to effect to distort and add the turbulent displace. Now this is what a turbulent displace does. It basically creates this distorted look to your images. Now we can use this to create all sort of distortion effects. But here what I'm going to do is I'm going to scale the amount up and then I'm going to bring the size right down. So something like that. So we get that little distortion effect. If you bring this up you'll get more or less of that. So you can see it kind of applies this sort of distorted look to your text or your image whatever you're applying it to. And now to animate it we can use the Evolution Slider. Now an easy way of animating the Evolution Slider is by using an expression. So what I can do is have a hold option, Altima keyboard, I can click the little stopwatch of the evolution and that opens up what we call an expression. Now we're going to look at different expressions throughout this course but a very basic expression that you can use is time times and then the number that you want to use. So in this case I'm going to use 2000 and then when I hit enter basically all that does it cycles through that evolution slider at a set rate. So that's really handy instead of trying to animate multiple keyframes if we want it to move at a set rate. That's where the time function or the expression comes in and it's really handy for that particular effect. So that's how you create that wiggle style text. It's quite simple, but it does demonstrate a few things that we're gonna use in this course. So in this next video, we're gonna have a look at how to create bouncing text or this sort of elastic style text. So there's a lot of different ways you can create sort of bouncing or elastic text, but I wanna show you one method that I use that is a little bit easier than the others. So I'm gonna right click, create a new composition. So all I've done here is just add a background. It can be whatever you want, whatever color, and I've also added just a simple letter or whatever you're going to use here. You do have to apply this effect to an individual letter or number. So you can't just apply it to a whole word. You can, but it's not gonna look anywhere near as good. So an easy way to do this is by using an effect called Smear. So with that last select that I can come up to effect down to Distort and I want to add the CC Smear. Now there's two in here. There's one which is called Smear and then there's CC Smear. The CC Smear is the one that we're going to be using for this. Now you can see when I drag these little points around it's already distorting my text. So this could be quite an interesting effect if you wanted to create some liquid style text. Again, this is why I use this because it's just a really easy way to do this and it's quite an effective way. So you could mess around with that to create some interesting look. So what I want to do first is start with both the mine in the middle because the distortion is only applied when these are at different points. So if they're on top of each other in the middle, it won't apply any effect. So now what I want to do is create keyframes for my to and my from, I can bring those up by hitting U. And now I want to start moving the two up here. So what that does is it basically creates this movement like the letters being squished downward. Now at the same time, I also want to bring the radius up so I can bring this right up and that just kind of creates a bigger area, bigger circle that this is affecting, right? So it gives it a bit more of that bounce that we're kind of going for. So I can bring this up. Then I want to create another sort of from point here because I don't want this part to move. And at the end here, I want this one to kind of go down. I want my from to kind of come down but I'm gonna drag up on my two. So it kind of creates this reverse effect here. So you can see what we've kind of created is this sort of like it's it's compressing to get that energy and then it's releasing it all to kind of fly upwards. So we're kind of getting that effect. What I can also do is take all of these and make them easy ease. And this is a really good tutorial to kind of get used to trying to animate real life. So you got to try and think about how a ball would bounce. That's what you're trying to replicate here. Now at the same time this is coming up, what I want to do is bring my position in. So I'm going to create a keyframe for my position, hit you to bring up all those keyframes. And I want to scale this up, right? and then bring it back down. So I can copy that key frame, paste it over here, make these all easy ease. So that kind of creates this bounce, right? Cause we want it to kind of go up in the air and then come back down. So what I can do is take those same key frames, paste them in here, and then I'm basically going to reverse this. So I'm copying that key frame like this, just pasting that in there, and then just copying these N key frames, moving them down like that. I can also readjust these by bringing them in if I wanna readjust that timing. The other thing I can do is also turn on motion blur for the layer and for the entire composition. And there you go, we've kind of got that bouncing effect. From this point, I recommend just messing around with this effect. And that's really where you're going to learn the most by just taking one of these effects and messing around with it to see what interesting things you can come up with. Another good tip here is to look at real life. So look at things you've seen in real life. Maybe grab a video clip of a ball bouncing, putting it in After Effects and trying to animate this over the top to try and follow that. Cause it'll teach you a lot of things about how to animate real world objects. You can also add just a simple fade on effect by creating an opacity key frame here at the start and the end. That just creates that fade on effect. Now to create another one, all you have to do is just duplicate your layer. Now when you try and move this layer across, you're gonna see that all the animation basically gets thrown out, right? So even if I take this and I basically turn this off, all of these are going to be thrown out, right? It's not gonna sit in the same place. So one way we can get around that, because that is a problem that happens in After Effects, what you can do is if I duplicate the layer and come up to the effects controls, I can add the transform to that under the distort settings. And what that allows me to do is move that layer or off center it, and it moves all of those together. So it's an easy way of doing that. If I off center this now, now you've got the effect basically playing one after the other. So that's another way. And this is a really good function and an easy function to use. Whereas using the transform settings down here, it doesn't apply to the whole thing. It will affect the overall animation. So as I move this down, the original effect itself does not move with it. Whereas when I move this, it also moves these to make it basically match. So that's just something you want to be aware of. Now the last part of this is I've also added a test yourself part into this course. So this is the animation that I would like you to go and have a go at trying to make. It uses all the same techniques that we looked at in the previous videos, but it puts it all into one animation. Now I'm not going to show you a tutorial on how to make this, but I will supply this project file here as a download. So if you want to follow along or you get stuck or you're not sure, then just use that as a reference. But I recommend just having a look at it first and then trying to animate it yourself. I've also supplied all the files you'll need in order to make this as part of your download pack as well. So that's it for this video. If you have any questions about this particular video or any of the videos in this course, and darn hesitate to let me know."
