HOW TO MAKE LOOPING BACKGROUNDS IN AFTER EFFECTS

[Music] let's create a new composition let's make composition which is two five oh by 4040 at 30 fps so this is because we need a composition which is a bit bigger than our final output our final output will be 1920 by 1080 so now let's get our text to and let's write something i'm going to write create this i'm going to enable my proportional grid put this right in the middle and i'm going to right click crack on pose i'm going to choose move all attributes into the composition i'm going to name this word very good now open this up we're going to do now we're going to our composition settings and we're going to make this smaller we're going to make our composition almost the size of our text but we want to have just a little bit of order so this should be fine now let's get our word and bring it down like this let's go back to our composition we're going to our effects and presets and then we're going to type reptile i'm going to drop that earlier now we're going to expand left expand right and now expand down next pin up in that case i feel like the margins here are still way too big so let's go back to it let's make our composition narrower [Music] and a bit less tall as well [Music] so this should be good yeah very good so now we just we already have one of the sizes we're going to do we're going to press p to open our position properties we're going to select it we're going to move to one second now we're going to press ctrl r and we're going to drag this so we have a guideline here i'm going to position my guideline here in the edge of one of our ladders it really depends but here i'm going to use the c then i'm going to move this and i want the next c which is this one [Music] to hit the line as well so you can zoom come a bit closer and that's it so now we're going to press all click and type in loop out cycle so if we take a look at this now we already have our infinite look but one of the things that i can see is that we have a gap here so let's expand right just a bit more cool it works what we're going to do now we're going to duplicate this select p now select both our keyframes and with shift and up and down arrow i'm going to move this so it's right in the middle of the other words now i'm going to select both keyframes here on top i'm going to select keyframe resistant time reverse keyframes so if we look at that now we have each line going to a different direction but you can see that this is a bit too fast so we're going to move our two keyframes to two seconds let's see yes that works better looks a little cool so now we're going to do we're going to create a new null object i'm going to leave this right in the middle i'm going to get my two words i'm going to parent those two layers to my nail and i'm going to rotate my null about 25 26 degrees or minus 26 degrees or something that you prefer now i have this look really cool we're going to create a solid i'm going to name this background we're now going to choose a white color i'm going to drop this underneath our layers i'm going to like our three layers click on pose i'm going to call this text animation [Music] really cool everything's working just well now we're going to composition composition settings and we're going to set this composition to 1920 by 1080. so as you can see now we have a bit of a margin here some extra we have some margin here and that margin will be really important once we start to apply our really quiet effect on top of our text so let's open this up let's create a new adjustment layer we're going to choose an effect called liquify make our brush as big as possible i'm going to use this tool right here but you can try the other ones as well to see if you can get the look that you want to i'm going to get to this half right here i'm going to pile it up like this [Music] this right here and i'm going to pull it down like this [Music] i'm going to go back to our composition and make this just a bit bigger so you don't see that gap here very good and now if we play this [Music] now i have all this working already really cool very nice looking so let's polish this a bit i'm going to like our text animation [Music] i'm going to look for a gradient ramp and now i can change this to colors that i will find that are more pleasing and i can pick whatever color you prefer to i'm going to go from a blue [Music] like this to sort of a purple color like this now i'm going to opens up here what i want to do i want to like one of our two layers it doesn't matter which one we're going to go to layer styles stroke now we're going to blending options advanced blending fill opacity and let's turn down that to zero so we have no fill [Music] now we're going to stroke and we're going to change the color to black [Music] very good so now let's go back now i'm going to change the color of our background [Music] by pressing ctrl shift y to purple or maybe black like looks nice and there you have it now our animation is all finished if you like this tutorial make sure to subscribe like or dislike if you didn't like it and if you have any feedback or ideas for next tutorials please comment in
