Apple Motion 5 : Lesson 2 : EASY ANIMATION :: Learn to Animate in Apple Motion

[Music] hello window BOTS welcome back to motion tutorial here at will about sage queue today we can looking at animating now animating is or can be quite difficult here in motion so we're going to do is take you through it very slowly and show you the most easiest way to animate and there may be add another section to that later on so we learn to animate today so let's crack on and get ahead with it okay so here we are in sort of motion and if you follow my other tutorials you might know what to do here if not I'll quickly go through it so the first thing we do is highlight the web motion project here okay there it is we're going to just do a quick tutorial so nothing too HD so let's keep on 720 that's not this down to 25 frames per second and 30 seconds is all we're going to need to get us started again we can change this timecode later on so all that set when I depress the word open and here we are inside of motion perfect so we look at animating and it's ever said before there's lots of ways of doing this so let's start off with really simple so I'm going to grab hold of the word T here so press the word T nothing happens which we which we used to by name so click anywhere inside of our canvas okay I'm going to type in the word render BOTS okay as simple as that now if you follow my other tutorials don't worry we're going to go through this and hit the top left-hand escape key or if you're using a MacBook 2016 with the touch bar you'll see that we're done on the top left hand corner just tap on that this means now I'm free to move this wherever I want otherwise I can still type still type so now I have this you'll see that my my lines are try and give me the center of the screen here so what I want to do is move this from here into here okay so to do this I'm going to drag this out of the window now little tip for you here is as I drove out of the window you'll see if I click off that I can still see in my in my render window as it were now the reason why I'm seeing this is because I have something switched on under the word view so under word view make sure this is highlighted show full view area if I click off it it disappears it's still there somewhere but I've got click up click a lot of times to try and find it ok which doesn't really help me so under the word view make sure the word show full view area it's all I did there you go this enables me to find it really easily it took me a long time to find that but it means that anything in this black window here this is the black canvas here anything outside of this the viewer won't see so they've got the would render watch you'll see on the left hand side of my project window it's got the word render BOTS highlighted and it's sitting in a group okay so I'm gonna double click on the word group and change that to the word text okay so we know in some that group there is the would render box and I can close this little class we'll add a triangle here to say that's what's can happen okay so here we have the would render BOTS okay and what we're going to do is I'm going to have this just coming from this point or wait at this point notice simple the case it's going to move across the screen so the first thing I do is click on the word render BOTS so it knows that's what I animat what that's what I want to animate the second thing I do is I'm going to look at my timeline and make sure that my playhead so this is my playhead is at the zero okay so sitting over here guess we see move through there's a timeline so I make sure my playhead is there all set good so we're going to hit the word record now when I press record you've actually put something called a keyframe at that position otherwise it knows that the word render boss isn't being seen by anybody else at the moment the next thing I'm going to do is move my playhead forward let's say to about 10 seconds they're roughly okay and all you do now is drag this from here to the right and plot the screen ready so click and hold and drag outside right you'll see and keep my finger to Mouse as I'm dragging okay you'll see that there's a red line that's moving with me and these are all the keyframes being Bill to make this happen so all you do is drag it off the screen it's really good as you'll see it starting to click to these nice horizontal lines they're so honest they go there okay that's it okay let go uncheck the word record voila so what we have now here is at the end position so let's hit the play button here okay so it's coming off though we don't do that see we wine first okay it's when I hit play now there we have our first bit of animation as cruise that might seem that's such a great thing to learn from from the get-go okay now hopefully guide you'll see down here I've got these little red diamonds here okay so red diamonds attorneys these are key frames so you'll see that if you can't see these red diamonds with little white line is let's switch them on so we do it by this little icon here you see I call this the gutter because they sit in between like little roads I might just be there a road with the gutter either side and then we have the pavement so this is what I call the guts in it so not the gutter to say here you go so these are actually our key frames okay they sit in a little gutter switch your answer shop so this is really important to have this open now we'll go back okay so I'll press play again and we'll see it said I don't worry about the red line the reason why we've seen the red line is because I've actually other would render BOTS highlighted so you click anywhere outside the canvas will see this appears right nice and simple okay so let's press pause espresso wined push play here we go so there is our first bit of animation could not be easier so what tends to happen at this point is when I show people this they go right well what if I want to slow it down or speed it up the beautiful thing about this is the animation is set in other words it's set to go from left to right but if I want to make that faster or slower all I'm going to do is move my keyframe I've already created down here just by pressing record one so if I move this half the distance press rewind and press play you'll see it's moving a lot faster it's because it's got do the whole action but doing less time so if I move this keyframe all the way over here what's going to happen I'm so simple so now you take a long time to get there okay good so we can apply this action to everything and the beautiful thing about YouTube is you stop my video here rewind and take a whole look at that thing again alright so there is how we animate really really simply inside of motions so how can we do this and make it a bit of fun okay so what we do let's get rid of end of us and we'll take a look at my desktop so if I press the word import you'll see my desktop I have this car and I have this kind of jazzy background I simply just drag these from the internet so what I'm going to do is let's import this car we're going to see what happens press this import okay and there's my car okay and if I go import again and grab my background there is there the background and press import again so you'll see now that's under here but screenshot and a screenshot so let's rename these first so I'm gonna double click on the screenshot and call this and solidus and press and call it background okay there's our background and there is my car don't click on that we call this cart okay now you'll see I can't see the car because it's sitting on top of our background so I'll click and hold and drag and lift so therefore my car is now on top of that okay right good at this point you'll see that this car has a white background and actually I'd quite like to get rid of that says a really cool filter in here that's going to let me get rid of just that background okay so we can do something called a filter and the filter is called keying see this button here King and press the work gear okay and what I can think done it has looked at my picture and try to eliminate something from it so I will go to my inspector here and under inspectors at the color filter is that Kia is our filter in to do with sample color there and a click and click and drag over the white part there see that so click and hold and try it what this has done now is remove any of the white that was surrounding the picture really cool way to knock out a complete color in this case just the white background okay so there's my key and that's done so you followed now my car can have you sit above there just using that key so I'm going to do is I'm going to record em this car coming from here all the way through here now a really good tip here is that I can actually hold on the command key and press - and what that does is that lets be zoomed in and out of my canvas ok command + man - so there we go so now I've got the car way and remember anything outside we're not going to see let's click on the background and you'll see I've got these little blue dots these are kind of like I've got my handlebars my handles I can click and drag these anyway I want to so what I'm going to do folks is stretch this we have a portions we would normally this normally but I want it to sort of go over here ok right so there is my tree now you see the white area of my canvas this is what the what your customer your viewer is going to see so it's going to see this white thing here so the first thing we'll do is animate the trees moving it in one direction and the car moving in the opposite direction okay bear with me we'll see now that in my timeline here we have the word car rather Kia which took out the white part of the picture then we have a background which I've renamed so it's going to do the background is I'm going to press record ok that's all I've done a press record now I'm going to move the timeline forward let's go roughly around 15 now all I do is pick this background up and move it to the right and we see the keyframes take in a little red line across there nice and simple there we go and let go all right so uncheck record because we finished all right let's hit rewind here let's press play fantastic so we see the trees and I'm moving across so now we want the car going up stirring so again it's really simple guys what we're gonna do is make sure the cars on top layer which it is okay we're going to have this moving from here to here so let's position our car about there let's make sure the cars highlighted which it is the time line is at zero and we're going to press record okay simple as that then move our time line forward maybe in half the time okay and just drag our car so click and hold and drag our car from one position to the other like so so there you go hopefully it's all set let's uncheck record let's hit rewind let's click it out of the frame so anywhere in this dark area answer the frame and press play there we go we've got two layers moving independently in the most simplest way possible love that ok so let's pause let's hit rewind so good way of maneuvering - canvases you'll see up here your websi 6% we can say to fit which automatically gives me the 400% but if we're back to figure Center example a really good shortcut I use all the time I show my customers this it's really really easy we're going to hold down shift and tap the Zed key it's a shift hold down shift tap Zed you oughta get this 100% straightaway it just saves us having to go all the way up the top of here and we're nuvaring inside and that of our canvas not we sure having to go so shifts and Zed says give me the full frame of my animation so what we're seeing now is be a very small black line around the edges there so press apply and as our animation okay simple as that so really we simple folks I want to keep it reasonable for first wave animation because there's lots we can do there's something called behaviors which we'll look at again you know probably our next episode of animation but as simple as we get that's how we do it so my Lexus and we'll look at advanced animation how we can start we put our own keyframes in and retest it but for now have a go at that let me know how you get on now before we finish this tutorial what I want to do is save this okay so we're going to go to the word file here and we see the word save okay now when we save this is really really important guys is when you save when I call it save as let's call it M car animation okay something simple like that and you'll see here it's got the word collect media off now I want to press this copy to folder and this is really important what it does is it takes everything I've used outside of motion in other words the picture the background of the trees picture the car it brings it into a file structure inside of motion and it creates a little folder called media and what's gonna happen is it'll copy so do a copy of all the contents put it into its folders so whenever you move this project to USB stick or you put it online that folder will always go with it otherwise here's what's going to happen the media if you delete it off the desktop it deletes it from our animation so it can't be seen so always make sure you press this copy to folder button here so under press save okay so it's saved let's minimize this okay now when I look at my folder here we have the word car animation which I've got double click that you'll see here the word car animation now inside of there that is my motion project file that's really important I see people like just bringing these on the USB stick they come to the session they sit there they double click isn't suddenly everything they've used in a project isn't isn't available so this is what that button has done is its created folder called media this side that is both the photograph the car and the backdrop so this is why it's important to check that file okay so that's the funnel would bring with me to another session and make sure or like all my assets inside of there because the media file hopefully that makes sense so thanks very much for watching really really cool little to tour there just a basic basic animation aside emotion big news and I wasn't able to resolve my Twitter situation so you'll see the word at render bots with a Z if suddenly they're so at render BOTS is really important because that's now my new Twitter handle you find anything about me or you want to contact me very quickly jump on there for me as a bit of a kind of thing anybody who who kind of follows me on Twitter I'll give a mention here in the window okay so anybody follows me on Twitter bot I'll mention them on on on my next session guys okay you also so got like and subscribe because this really helps render boss and myself get a little bit more populous so please like and subscribe you share so next session I promise we're going to look a bit more animation but let me know how you go on with that how'd you feel about it and how did it go for you that'd be great so till next time take care see you soon happy rendering you
