Let's look at important animation techniques using two videos with the same scenario as an example the
voice acting in these videos does not matter.
So we use the robotic function text to speech
guests are in our studio today and we will discuss economics.
Do you think Michael there is growth.
Of course I'm sure of it but I do not agree with a colleague.
Let's then look at the statistics.
In my opinion the answer is obvious
guests are in our studio today and we will discuss economics.
Do you think Michael there is growth.
Of course I'm sure of it but I do not agree with a colleague let's then look at the statistics.
In my opinion the answer is obvious.
What is the difference between these two basically identical videos
so consider the first video.
Actions take place in a television studio.
The presenter talks with experts and demonstrates the visual content on the screen.
The whole video demonstrates the general plan in the second video.
The same actions take place in the same television studio.
But now the video contains cropping general plan and camera movement all of these animation techniques
as well as in real video shooting helped keep the viewer's attention emphasize and highlight the important
moments.
Let's take a closer look at all of these tricky animation techniques that will enrich your videos and
give them a more professional look.
In order to make videos more professional and emphasize the important moments you need to use camera
techniques in the episode about insects.
We just watched.
There are several of them.
This is the movement of the camera and zoom which allows you to zoom in or out.
In real video shooting these techniques are performed using a real camera and in our case using a virtual
one the camera element is located on the right side of the toolbar by adding a camera.
You can crop the scene by placing only the desired fragment of the entire image in the scene.
Next you can add camera movement by clicking on the ADD camera movement button a second frame appears
showing the final location of the camera and you need to position it in the right place in the scene
setting the appropriate movement by increasing or decreasing the frame size.
You can zoom in or out in the picture.
The zoom effect helps to highlight a particular fragment and focus on it grabbing the viewer's attention
1 2 3.
Using the awarding ceremony video as an example let's consider the effect of changing the action of
a character.
How do you harmoniously combine two consecutive actions.
In our case the couple walks then stops and poses select the character click the action menu and select
the walk action for him.
Then add motion path and indicate the time of motion and location.
It's the first scene
next.
Add the second scene by selecting the option.
Continue last scene.
This option allows you to create a new scene while maintaining the last State of the previous scene
i.e. in the second scene.
Our character will already be in the place where he reached in the first scene select the character
and choose a new action for him.
Thus changing the scene through the option continuous scene allows you to smoothly change the action
of the character from walking to posing.
Using the previous video as an example let's consider the trick faced direction change.
This trick is very similar to the trick of changing the action of the character.
In the first scene set the expression and direction of the character's face.
In our case he talks and then looks to the left continue.
Last scene
select the character and select a new face direction.
Look at the camera
thus when changing the scene our character without changing the action can change both the facial expression
and its direction.
The awarding ceremony video also has a masking effect.
It's when an object with a mask property hides fragments of other layers.
In our example this is the photograph with the characters placed on it.
Consider creating this effect if we take just two objects a photo and a character and place them sequentially
then they exist separately from each other to achieve the effect of integrating two objects and placing
the character inside the photo.
You should use the object with the mask property click on the photo and select the available mask function
from the menu AD object or character from the library to put it inside the photo.
Now by changing the size of the character or his location we do it as if it were inside a photograph
using mask poverty.
You can integrate different characters into gadgets as well as achieve a wide variety of interesting
effects using both props from the built in library or your own imported images.
It is possible to create the effect of picture within a picture and video in video.
These effects are widely used in many of our video lessons.
Actions take place at the Metro station.
We observe the arrival of the train after the train's departure.
The platform has visibly changed this video is done with an animation trick of changing the scene using
an object.
Let's look at the process of its creation in the first scene.
Use the animated background subway and add items from the prop library to recreate the platform before
the train arrives.
Next at the second scene using the option continue last seen in the second scene.
Creative view of the platform after the train departure to do this ad passengers and litter from the
prop library and set the motion path for passengers
next.
In both scenes place the train in the foreground.
Scale it so that it covers most of the frame in the first scene set into effect for the train and in
the second scene exit.
Effect
add sound effects done
running athletes despite the movement do not quite look running.
Using a moving background helps running athletes look more realistic
actions take place in a moving train but it is difficult to believe in it because of the static picture
outside of the window.
Let's animate the picture outside of the window thus such a minor correction significantly changes the
final results.
It is achieved by using a moving background.
Let's take a look at the process in detail create a train car.
Place passengers set actions for them
now.
Change the background the library contains a collection of moving backgrounds which you can easily find
by the word scroll then use the ones suitable for your idea.
The effect of blurring the background or objects is widely used in photography.
In our example the blur effect is used to focus attention on an important element select the objects
and set the Blur exit effect for them.
The most important point is to set the duration of the effect longer than the duration of the scene
so that objects do not completely disappear from the scene.
In our case the duration of the effect is seven seconds and the duration of the scene is six seconds.
To consolidate the knowledge gained we recommend that you independently reproduce all of the examples
and techniques demonstrated in this lesson.
After this continued to the next lesson.
