it's very convenient for AE to do the action. In fact, it's also very useful for AE
UI dynamic effect can be summed up as four normals: displacement, erasure, rotation and scaling
ten thousand methods are inseparable from each other. It is only a matter of knowledge supplement and time to master the above four basic normals and make other effects<
to get back to business:
students who haven't used AE, it will look like the following after it is opened (for your convenience, I have narrowed the window, and the important windows have been marked):
before we use AE as UI dynamic effect, we need to make a good figure in PS. this chapter mainly introces the basic dynamic effect, So I only drew simple graphics to show the effect, see the following:
remember, the layers that need to be dynamic must be drawn separately, not merged. In addition, it's better to convert the layer that needs to do the action effect to "smart object" or keep the shape layer, and name it according to the type of action effect:
then, how to import PSD into AE? Take a look at the picture:
after selecting import, a window will pop up:
for a detailed introction, you can see the AE basic video I recorded before, which has a very detailed introction and selection considerations. I won't bother about it. The access method is at the end of the article
here, we select composition - editable layer style - confirm
after importing, we will see the resources we imported under the "project" window. Double click the file of type "composition" to open the timeline, so that we can start to work, Ang ~
the timeline unfolds like this:
let's start moving it
in AE, the basic dynamic effect is completed through the key frame on the time axis, so easy<
there are some commonly used tools at the bottom of the AE menu bar,
when we select a shape, the center point will appear (this is very important, all dynamic effects need to move according to this center point), but by default, the center point is not in the center of the shape, how to adjust? Look at the picture:
all layers move anchor points according to this method to facilitate the next operation
we select the "rotation" layer to do the rotation effect
click the small triangle on the left side of the "layer name" and select "transform". The fourth choice is "rotation"
the small clock on the left side is used to add keyframes. The first keyframe will appear. We drag the time axis to the position of 20s, Then click the diamond on the far left to add the second keyframe
in the second keyframe, we set the rotation angle, I'll let it 360 first ° Rotation, so here I set the value of 360, that is, rotation for one circle
the effect is as follows:
other types of dynamic effect are similar, the method is dead, flexible use can make different effect combinations
mainly focusing on the use of composition lens animation
as for special effects, I will tell you about my commonly used
fast blur curve, color scale, luminous shadow, chamfering, filling and gradient. These are all built-in
plug-ins. Then there are just a few of them, just like reflection, shine, particle and light class Ah,
don't pursue the miscellaneous special effects.
if there are too many special effects, rendering will kill people.
starting from the most basic animation, simple displacement, scaling and rotation can proce good results
The basic operation shortcut of AE is as follows
1
it's Ctrl + A in windows and Command + A in Mac OS
2
F2 or Ctrl + Shift + A on windows, F2 or command + Shift + A on Mac OS
3. Rename the selected layer, composition, folder, effect, group or mask
Enter is on the main keyboard in Windows system, and return is on Mac OS system
4. Open the selected layer, composition or material item
Enter is on the numeric keypad in Windows system, and enter is on the numeric keypad in Mac OS system
5
Ctrl + Q in windows and Command + Q in Mac OS
keyboard layout: the representation of hardware keyboard, in which you can see which keys have been assigned shortcut keys and which keys are available
command list: this list displays all commands that can be assigned shortcut keys
key modifier key list: the list displays all modifier key combinations and assigned shortcut keys associated with the key selected on the keyboard layout
color encoding:
gray: in the keyboard layout, keys with gray shadows are not assigned any shortcut keys
Purple: in the keyboard layout, keys with purple shadows are assigned application wide shortcuts
Green: in keyboard layout, keys with green shadow are assigned panel specific shortcut keys
