ae twixtor tutorial! (for beginners)

[Music] okay so this is a twixty tutorial um i've never made a tutorial before it sounds pretty bad so for tricksterring you pretty much just need to find a good scene like this uh pretty good scene for quick stream there's like two movements here and they're pretty smooth and they stop which is you know not ideal but it's fine it's pretty much what you're gonna want to do is this is just assuming you know some basics about 3x whatever uh you just got to move forward a couple frames and each time that there's movement in your character you're going to want to cut which is ctrl shift d pretty simple and you're just going to do this for every movement that's on your clip so just once you're done doing this i'll get to the next step [Music] okay so once you're to this point all you're going to want to do is you're going to want to click on your bottom layer right here of whatever you know part you want to texture and then you just hold shift on your keyboard and click the top layer on this segment i don't even know this is called the preview area instead of clicking here you click here so then what you're going to want to do is you're going to go to the far right side of your clip see that these arrows are coming up and then you're just going to drag this over to the right until you see that your clips look something like this from here you're just going to right click on your highlighted area go up to keyframe assistant and then go to sequence layers and click on ok and it should look something like this and i'm just going to repeat this process for the second part because i got to do this twice since i'm using two different clips then sorry i didn't do the next step yet then what you're going to want to do is you're going to just click on your bottom layer here and kind of just uh precomp the layer with an s sorry i forgot to say layers you should precap your layers which is ctrl shift c and then it should look something like this i'm just going to name my clip clip one or something like that and then it should look like that just gonna do the same thing with the second one now i'm gonna rename it to then this is the kind of number one part my kind of very annoying part for most people um the first segment you'll see it looks pretty smooth if you cut out your frames properly it looks like this and what you're going to want to do here is you're going to actually want to twixter your clips so apply twixtor uh for this step i'm using fx console so i can just kind of add effects to my layers a lot easier but what i'm doing here is i'm just going to go to effects and presets because i'm pretty sure not everyone has effects console but if you have if you want it it's it's a different process but whatever so i'm just going to go to effects presets i'm just going to search for twixtor pro if you're seeing these presets and you're judging me i don't care these are old don't look at them so just go to texture pro click on this um so here's what i do here when your twixtor is applied to your clip it'll just look something like this it'll look kind of really warpy and not great so what you're gonna do is you're gonna you're going to go to input frame rate and you're just going to type in um whatever your comps frame rate is so for me my composition is at 20 fps and uh yeah so that means the input frame rate is going to be 20. then you're going to go down to image prep um this kind of just adds a little bit of contrast on the edges of your clip so that the warps look a little bit smoother so i usually turn on contrast edge enhance which just looks better then you're going to put the time remap mode from speed to frame number this is so that you can choose which frame you want for your this is so you can choose what frame you want your twixtor to like end on instead of just using the speed which i mean they both work but frame number is just easier and better in my opinion then you're going to go to frame interp i always use motion weight blend or weighted sorry it just i i from what i've seen it just looks better then going i'm going to go to warping and i usually put this on either inverse with smart blend or forward it kind of just depends on whatever scene i'm using and sometimes it just looks better if you're having problems with warping on a scene then you can just change these up so yeah i'm just going to put it on inverse with my blend from here you're kind of done with the this process it's got this kind of easy part to be honest and this part is kind of you just learning from playing on twixtor so what you're going to do is you're going to go to frame number which should show up if you copy all these settings you're going to go to frame number click on the stopwatch until it looks like this so you have a keyframe available and then from here you're going to open this composition by double clicking on it and then if you see here this counts out all of the frames that you have or each each clip that you have kind of each layer that's in this twixt or going to be twix scene so pretty much what you need to do is just count out how many of these you have you don't actually need to count them since after effects does that for you so it says one and then it goes into six pretty much what you're going to do is you're going to subtract this number by one and that's the number that you're going to type in at the end of your clip i should also mention that if you want your twixtor to kind of go longer than this length all you have to do is take your clip click on it and then timer up it so ctrl alt plus t and then it should look something like this then from here you can just move your frame number to anywhere you want so if i wanted to go like here something it looks something like this and it does look you know pretty warpy right now but that's because i haven't graphed it yet and uh really quickly i'm just gonna do the second clip up until this process so i'll be right back okay now that i'm here uh this is kind of just what you need to see now also make sure that you delete this part if you do time your map otherwise you'll just have a really long clip they're the rest of your composition and that's not what you want but you know i assume you already know that so this is what it looks like just really strange looking right now because of the warps and stuff so what i usually do is i would normally use flow for this if you have flow then you can just fall but for the sake of the tutorial i'm not using it i'd highly recommend getting flow or some similar plug-in for graphing um what i do is i easy ease these keyframes which is just f9 and keyboard if you're like me 60 keyboard it's function 9 whatever um so then you'll have your graph like this and it'll look you know probably better if you twist properly but this is not what we want you're probably going to want to do something a lot smoother than this so if you have a b which i don't because i didn't really pick a song out for this uh because i'm lazy i don't care uh you're just going to graph your keyframes i'd hope you know how to graph and if you don't you got to watch some other tutorials before this one because i'm not teaching that in this uh pretty much what you're going to do is you're going to just see this little yellow circle dot thing whatever you want to call it you're just going to hold shift on your keyboard and then drag this with the left clicking on your mouse all the way to the to the left should look something like this and then you'll have something that looks a little smoother it doesn't look terrible but this could work in certain scenes just not in this one and then for a very basic graph you're just going to do something like this so also do the same process with this uh circle and then your graph should look something like this so pretty smooth already i think i might actually just keep it like this but if i'm just if i was doing something else that needed like a sharper graph and i would just drag this without clicking up to like here and then it should look something like that i normally graph like this but it's completely preference based and up to you based on your style based on what song you're using it could differ completely and this is pretty much what twixtor should look like you can also graph differently like if you want to have a kind of like a graph that goes into your clip and then goes out into your next one it could look something like this though i don't normally use this but it could look good and i'll just repeat the same process but with this part so f9 uh with your keyframes highlighted graph boom looks nice looks pretty good i don't exactly love this but you know it looks pretty nice it's pretty decent i like it so i'm just going to grab i'll go grab like this this one yeah that looks good oh just kidding it looks really stiff and it should end up looking like this and just for some final touches uh you can add like rsv so arizona pro i normally put you know the blue you can just use effects and presets here but i normally put this main background blur amount to like 0.2 i guess maybe lower 0.1 but it kind of just depends on the clip 0.3 at most that i'd only look around here and then it should look something like that and then if you had like a shake or something i'm not gonna show you how i do my shake settings but if you want to copy them i don't care uh so i have a preset for just like before i actually make a shake just so that i have a tie one here and then i have basic uh default this is all the shake settings um i'm just gonna do something that i think would look good for this yeah so it should end up looking like this and then if you want to add something like a scale or whatever you would add um it could look kind of different so i'm just gonna scale in a bit uh 120 is good just graph it whatever whatever you normally do and then it looks something like this i think it looks pretty decent and you know just a simple end result um if you guys like this tutorial and you guys want to see maybe like i don't know some other ones in the future then just let me know maybe you'll make one i don't know uh bye see you next time what do people say when they finish the three years
