Learn After Effects 2022 | Beginners Tutorial

in this tutorial we're going to create these retro style titles in after effects how is it going guys and welcome to the olufemi channel we're a group of teachers that want to shore up your video production skills in as little time as possible g'day guys welcome back to the channel my name is nick today we are going to go through after effects 2022 from a beginner's perspective now i've had 25 years using after effects and it is a very quirky program so i completely understand as a beginner why it's a little bit daunting so i wouldn't suggest doing the videos all in one go it's broken up into a few modules so i would suggest learning a bit of it going away coming back and doing another bit another day or another time it's completely up to you alright guys let's dive straight into it right now and this video is brought to you by envato elements more about that later all right guys so when you open up after effects for the first time this is the window that you're going to get we're just going to skip right past this menu and go straight for new project and for those playing at home this is version 22.4 it might be a little bit different to previous versions so just be aware you should have this project window here if you can't find it just go to window and then go to workspace and then go to default now just to quickly zoom over the rest of the windows this is the composition window where you'll do most of your work and this is the timeline window which is very similar to premiere basically you'll put all your layers in here and mark around with them as you see fit on the right hand side you've got a whole bunch of tools and on the top row is a whole bunch of toolbars as well now you can go right click in this window here where it says project and go new composition and you will get this new window called the composition settings window a composition basically is a video canvas that you can work in sort of like a new sequence if you like so here we go we're going to select uh it doesn't really matter what this is but we're going to make this 1920 by 1080 and lock the aspect ratio we're going to make sure it's square pixels we're going to make the frame rate 2397 full res uh start timecode will be zero if you want to just type in zero in there and then we can make this composition five seconds so i'm gonna type five zero zero which means five seconds and then zero zero frames and our background will be black so and let's call this one background because that's what we're going to start with first [Music] so here we are this is our composition we're going to jump straight into it so we're going to create our mountains first so let's go up here to this first tool and this is the pen tool up here so we're going to click that and we're just going to select the fill and click on the word fill and select solid fill and then we're going to go okay make sure that's 100 and it'll give you a color which is red now we're actually going to turn the stroke off it should be off by default but just in case it's not click on the word stroke and then we'll click that off and then go okay now let's change the color of the mountain let's make it a really dark dark purpley kind of color like this and there we go so let's draw some straight lines so here we go we'll click one there and i'm just clicking to create points you can do this as slow or as fast as you want and i'm just going to hold down shift to give myself a straight line and then connect them up and fill in the uh the path and there we go we've got a filled in path now you can always go through and move these points around after the fact so that's not a problem at all and there we go we've created our first mountain range if you don't like the shape of them you can actually hold down command or control and click on these things and you can actually move the points after the fact or if you want to be a bit more savvy you can actually highlight this in the timeline twirl down go to contents go to shape and then go to the path and you can select them there as well all right let's create a background so we're going to create a gradient from the top to the bottom so what we're going to do here is select this tool which is the rectangle tools right next to the the shape tool here we're going to select that and make sure without anything selected because if you have this selected you're just going to draw onto the same shape tool but we want to create a new instance of a shape so make sure that is not selected so click anywhere except that shape now let's change the fill to a gradient which is this one here click ok now let's draw our rectangle just around this just like this so it fills the whole screen you just drag it out holding down the button right now you can see the gradient is not very nice it's actually very very small and we'll show you why so if you highlight if you it'll actually highlight that rectangle but if you can't find it again just twirl down and then twirl down and then twirl down to the rectangle and you'll see it's there now if we get to the rectangle and we go to rectangle path you can see nothing happens and what we need to do is we need to highlight this the selection tool and that will bring up the gradient markers here as you can see as we start pulling these around it'll actually tell you where the gradient is where it starts and where it finishes so this is a start point and this is the end point and obviously where you set the start and end points will determine where or which direction the gradient will go or if you want it to be a bit more you know in the middle here like this you can do it like that as well but in this case we want to go from top to bottom because we're trying to mimic a sunrise so here we go now that gradient is not very nice because we want it to be more of a retro style color so we'll right click or just click in here not right click just click in here now select the top color uh we'll make it sort of a purply also kind of a purply bluey hue very dark blue hue and the bottom one will make it a little bit more magenta almost so maybe more like that like a pinky pinky cube you can make it more orangey if you like because that'll also give you a bit of a magenta look as well as you can see they do mix so there we go now we'll pull this layer below the mountain ranges we just created and there we go we've got that nice background going there as well now it's important to label these things as herman would say so here we go press enter on the keyboard to bring up this prompt so we can start naming things and so we'll call this sky and likewise we'll go to the top shape layer and we'll type enter and we'll call this mountain and press enter to make sure that takes and we'll talk these back up so we can see what's going on and there we go that is it for the mountain and the sky now if you don't like where the gradient is or where it's sitting again make sure with the arrow tool selected up here let's go to the rectangle path and you can see we've got these here so if you want to pull this up so it's a little bit higher like the sunrise is a little bit higher and maybe pull this down so this is a little bit lower you can do that to taste as well now let's create a sun so we're going to go up here to this thing which is also the shape tool now you did draw a rectangle with that but also you can draw other shapes if you hold down you can actually get a whole bunch of other shapes as well in this case we're going to select the circle tool so let's go in here and let's also select make sure we've also got the gradient selected as well you should already have it selected but we've already created a gradient from before so let's draw a circle now as you draw the circle you can see here it gets a bit wonky and it's a little bit hard to actually get it to be a perfect circle but fear not if you hold down shift you could actually get a perfect circle every time so let's hold down shift as we drag it out and we get that perfect circle there we go all right let's rename this sun now we're going to make this also a gradient as well so let's go back to the arrow tool and go back and reselect this and as you can see ow and if we go down and select the ellipse tool we can actually see that we get the gradient markings again again if you can't seem to find these gradient markings you can go to the gradient fill and you can see here there are started endpoints under the ellipse tool starting endpoints if you want to do this manually as well you can muck around within here but i find doing this is a little bit more intuitive so i'm going to do it in here on the composition window itself all right let's click on this and let's select the colors as well we'll make this a little bit more like an orangey color a really bright orange color and the top one will make it like a really bright yellow you know we're going to bring this sun behind the mountain just so that it's sort of you know in the right place so there we go just position it as you like you can just use the arrow tool up here if you're not sure what's going on but this arrow tool will allow you to drag things around as you like so now we're going to create the grid for the floor now at the moment just to explain what's happened here we've created vector objects similar to illustrator in after effects itself so but in this case we're going to create a new object what i'm doing and right click in this empty space here i'm going to go new solid alternatively you can come up here and go layer new solid or command or control y whatever you like it doesn't matter what color it is but 1920 by 1080 if you're not sure just press make comp size we're going to rename this as grid make comp size and then we'll press ok now white solid will come on top which is you know not very exciting but that is okay now let's go over to this thing called the effects and presets panel like i said if you can't find where that is you can either go and select this to the workspace to default under window alternatively you can come down here and go to the effects and presets panel which is just here and that'll just bring that up for you now all the effects here are searchable so you can just type in what you need alternatively you can just go in here and actually just twirl down and see what kind of effects you like if you just want to go and browse but there are so many effects in here that you are just going to be overwhelmed especially for the first time so i'm just going to guide you with just a few of them but in the case of this i'm just going to show you one effect and that's called grid and what this effect is going to do is create a grid as you can imagine but with an alpha channel which is really nice so go to the one under generate and we're just going to drag this on here like this and we get ourselves a grid not very exciting i know but here we go we're going to go down and we're going to go change this if you can't find where this effects panel is go to window and then go to effects control which is in this sort of second panel here that'll just be right here and it should pop up somewhere all right let's change this to width and slider we'll make this just a little bit smaller now that's a little bit too small and we'll make the width or the border something like two just something a little bit thinner and we'll try to make it so that it's uh you know see those edges in the line see if we can get these lines to actually line up to the top here as best as you can it doesn't have to be perfect but it would be nice actually let's make this just a teeny bit bigger i think because in the in the 80s i used to make these good lines just a teeny bit bigger all right here we go not super important but nice all right here we go we're going to change the color of this to maybe a really sort of hot hot purple all right so the next thing we're going to do is we are going to do this thing called pre-composing now if you think of your composition like a box pre-composing is like putting elements that are in your box into smaller boxes so that it's easier to move things around in groups so let's put our grid into a pre-composition first we'll go up to layer and then go to pre-compose and it gives you two options here leave all attributes in background or move attributes in new composition now by default it'll go leave but we're actually going to move all now just to explain this level attributes is like putting our solid in a box without the effects applied to it which in this case is the grid effect now movable attributes places are solid inside the box with the effects both properties have different uses at different times which you'll understand once you start using after effects more now we'll rename this one animation as we will be doing some animation on it a bit later click ok so right now that's not very exciting but we have basically turned this into a grid that we can move around and you can just drag this object around like this alright so let's turn this into a 3d layer and actually make it a floor if you like so there are a bunch of switches here that you can't see some of you may or may not be able to see it which is fine by default you might actually see it might look like something like this let me see if i can get it to look it might look like something like this you might not be able to see where the 3d is but if you go down here there's a whole bunch of switches you can actually muck around with down here alternatively you can go to right click in these where it says mode or any of these like in here on this top line and just go columns and go for switches and then you'll see this so you might not see it but if you right click on switches go columns and they go switches you'll be able to see it there and this row here is what turns objects into 3d objects so right now everything is only 2d and if you check the transform properties so if we twirl down and twirl down if you check the transform properties you can see it's only two coordinates so it's only 2d now every object here is a 2d object as you can see if i twirl down if you get past the contents there is a transform here and 2d 2d but right now we're going to turn this into a 3d object so i'll leave this one open just so you can see the difference now if you go to this box here where it's a cube i know very 3d it'll actually turn that into a 3d and watch this this little gizmo appears which is fantastic and which allows us to move things around in 3d so it also gives you these little handles where you can pull things around like this or looks like the pogba will come in for me you can pull these handles around like this so you can get you know into the 3d there's also one behind which you can't really see but it is there and likewise as you start rotating you can see that it starts becoming 3d which is something that we didn't have before as you can see now there are three coordinates as opposed to two coordinates all right so let's spin this down let's turn this down to 90 degrees i'm actually going to type it in so you can actually highlight it and type minus 90. there we go the grid has disappeared but no it is still there it's just that it's flat to us and what we're going to do is we're going to grab this z so drag drag the uh grab the arrow selection tool and then we'll just go to where it says z or z in america and then drag it down and as you can see we are creating a little floor plate and that is fantastic and that's all we want and so there we go now as you can see here the grid is it's not bad but as you can see here it doesn't quite go to the very edges of the frame you can see it's like maybe that's what you want maybe that's okay with you but to me i would like it to actually expand a little bit further left and right so there is a effect that we can throw on here which works best expand the edges of our canvas for us and that's called motion tile we're going to go to the effects and presets one more time and type in motion motion oops if i can type motion motion and you can see here on the stylizer we've got this thing called motion tile so let's drag that on here like this and uh you'll be greeted with this little panel here now we're going to output width and output height so we're going to actually expand the width just a little bit as you can see i only did a little bit but it expanded the width quite a fair bit and there we go we've expanded the edges of the frame somewhat so there we go that is basically our almost our scene set up now just to add a few little extra things on here i'm actually going to mask out the top of this little little thing here so it looks like it dithers into the background so here we go i'm going to select this while this is selected i'm going to select this tool now this is the rectangle tool now we used it to draw shapes but we can also use it to draw masks so and that depends on the context you're using it in so let's highlight this now and let's draw a mask now it's going to do something weird because it is in 3d so it's drawing it like it's in a 3d space so just watch this see how it's kind of like a 3d uh it's already in 3d that's because of the weight because the object is a 3d and it's taking into account it is a 3d object all right so now we've created a mask and as you can see we've just chopped it here which doesn't look very good at all now what we can do is we can go and change the now this mask will pop up but if you haven't got it you can always twirl down and look for the mask itself or you can press the letter m and that will bring the mask up as well and you can mark around with the mass properties from here now it is set on add we can set it to subtract so it actually goes the other direction now right now you can see that it chops off whatever we've subtracted whatever's at the top here what we would like to do though is to kind of feather this edge so it kind of fades off into the distance so as you can see here we've got a mask feather tool here now the mask feather tool has two coordinates it'll wear the feather on the on the x and the y axis so this first coordinate is the x axis and this will feather on the y-axis or the vertical and the horizontal so right now we just want to feather on this axis here which is what i would call the y-axis i know it's not very intuitive but that's what it is so we're going to uncheck this and then we're just going to feather this we're just going to increase the feather on this and there we go it is feathering as dithering into the distance now if you want to check this out a little bit closer you can use the mouse wheel or you can use the comma and the full stop which is next to the letter m to actually get closer to see where things are now as you can see i've zoomed in but it's not in the right position i want to go down and have a look to see what's down there so if you hold down spacebar it'll bring up this thing called the hand tool and as you can see up here the hand tool was selected this is a non-destructive tool it's just a way for you to view what's going on in the canvas so we hold down spacebar and then we start dragging up we can actually drag this viewer so we can see what's happening a bit better as you can see the feather looks pretty good we can hold down the spacebar again and drag around to see what is going on so we can zoom in and really get into those details to see that everything is looking correct and that is great now i'm going to use this the zoom wheel to zoom out again the scroll wheel to zoom out again and as you can see we can get back to where we are otherwise you can just go to here at the bottom of the composition window and just go fit and you just can see what's happening there all right so the next part of this tutorial is actually about animation and we're just going to animate this scene just a little bit but before we get started i just need to quickly explain what keyframes are so what are keyframes well think of keyframes like a gps coordinate where you tell the computer i want to start here and i want to end here and the computer has to figure out how to do that in animation so in this instance we're going to go to the very beginning of the timeline and we're going to bring up the position property and so if you twirl down and go to position you can see this little stopwatch here so we're going to set our first gps coordinate or keyframe and then click on the stopwatch here now if you're curious how i managed to move the timeline to the beginning if you go to this top section of the timeline here where my arrow is you can actually bring up the scrubber and that allows you to move forward and backwards on the timeline now if we go to the second around two seconds and set another position keyframe you can click on the second diamond here so you can't click on the button again if you click on this again it'll actually delete all the keyframes but we're not going to do that we're going to click on this one here which is add or remove keyframes which is next to the position so let's click that and right now nothing is happening because the two gps coordinates are exactly the same so what we want to do is actually change the position coordinate of the second gps point or the second keyframe point and move it somewhere over here so let's do that we're going to scrub all the way here till we get to this keyframe and then we're going to bring it all the way over here right now as you can see the computer is actually figuring out the best route to get from this point to this point so if we press play you'll see what happens it actually does what it's supposed to do so if you think of keyframes as like gps coordinates for the computer that's how you can approach it so right now if you see this little diamond come up on the left hand side of a property so for example if i click this you'll see the diamond come up it automatically enters keyframe mode which means that any change that you put on your timeline at any point in time will affect the way the keyframes are interpreted for example if i decide to put a keyframe in the middle like this it'll automatically add a keyframe too likewise if i go to the end here and i decide that i just want to move it back to the middle it'll add another keyframe in here as well so just be careful that you're not moving things around where you don't want keyframes to appear because they will be added in automatically and in the case of the tutorial that we're going to be doing that's the method we're going to use we're going to start with one keyframe and then move to where we want the keyframe to end and actually move it to the position that we want and as you can see the keyframe gets added automatically and with that let's start animating our scene so we're going to set a first keyframe which is basically the mountain moving up so we're going to go to the beginning of this and we're going to go to the position and we're going to set a keyframe under the position hit the stopwatch and that's one keyframe you can see the little diamonds that come up are the keyframes and then we're going to go to the last point and we're going to bring we're going to go and highlight this and we're just going to drag it up or we can actually set the coordinates here but we're going to drag this up and there we go and like this we're just moving in a straight line so that looks like the mountain is rising likewise with the sun we're going to do something similar but instead of going straight up we're going to make it arc a little bit like in a diagonal position so let's press p as a shortcut to bring up the position we're going to set a keyframe at the beginning again if you want to navigate to the beginning of the of the composition just drag this scrubber here which is where you us basically look backwards and forwards on the timeline drag it to the beginning and now drag it to the end and let's move we're going to use the arrow tool that's on the selection tool and actually drag it up this way as you can kind of see it's making a sort of diagonal line like this which is perfect for us and then we can see which way it's moving and that's not looking too bad at all so you go created two bits of keyframe animation all right and the last bit of animation we're going to go is the grid and we're going to make the grid move as it's going in in from top to bottom basically so we're going to click into the grid animation here and this is a pre-composition so it's going to bring us into another composition so here we go double click on the grid animation here we are now click on the solid and now we're going to go to the effects grid now if you can't see this grid and guide this grid effect you just need to highlight that and then it'll come up and now we're going to animate the anchor point here so if you can see here this anchor point actually if you move this anchor point it actually moves this around for us but it's like a infinite grid loop which is fantastic so that's what we want to do so if you twirl down here and go to effects and go to grid we're going to set a keyframe on the anchor at the beginning of the of the composition and then go to the very end and then we're going to drag this to the left and just make it move just a little bit now if you want to see the speed of this we can go to the beginning and press spacebar and just see how long it takes to get up there now i probably want this just to be a teensy bit faster so we're going to move this just a little bit more so it travels more distance in a shorter amount of time and that's not looking too bad all right so let's go back to the background so you can go up here where it says grid animation and then go to background alternatively you can go back to the project here and go background and that will bring you back here as well but you can also go here and up the top here you can actually go backwards and forwards to any composition that's connected to another composition you can jump between the two compositions as it were so here we go there we go created your first animation in your first background well done [Music] guys we're going to stop for a second and talk about our sponsor and that is envato elements now why do i use envato elements well it's super useful to getting you out of a jam more than you think i kind of think of it like a cheat code for basically video editing if you have clients who need stuff turned around really quickly this is where something like envato elements comes in clutch actually just recently i did a job where i needed to turn around and edit in one day i didn't have any time to go and shoot anything i just had to find some stock footage straight away and what's great about envato is that because it's unlimited downloads you can download the stock you like and if it doesn't work out you can go get another piece of stock and you can keep doing that over and over again until you find the stock that you really want once you sign up there's very little risk of you downloading something that you didn't really need which is what the traditional model of a lot of stock sites were this is where you can download thousands of templates to try out and you can see which one suits you so guys we've managed to secure a seven day free trial for you guys to check out today so go to the description check it out it really supports the channel anyway let's go back to the tutorial alright so you finally created your first animation now let's get on to the text now just to do a little bit of housekeeping here to keep things all nice and neat we're actually going to put all these things into a different folder and we're just going to drag we're just going to highlight these things so you just hold down command or control and just drag these into a folder and we're just going to call these comps and there we go they just can't keep things nice and neat it's important as you become an after effects artist that you understand how to keep things neat because this can get out of hand and as herman says you want to keep stuff neat so let's make sure we keep things neat all right here we go we're going to do some text now so we're going to create the text animation so let's make a new composition you can actually come here actually and rather than right click here and go new composition you actually come here and go new composition and we're going to call this text and then we're going to dash main or whatever you want to call it it's completely fine we're going to make it five seconds pretty much all the same as before and we're going to go okay all right i'm going to show you how to use the text tool so next to the pen tool here is the text tool so if you just highlight that just highlight this bad boy click somewhere in here let's type in something femi which is fantastic now that's all good and well but say you don't like the font what are you going to do about it well let's go to this panel here called character now if you don't know where that is again go to windows and then go for the window that says character and that'll pop up here no problems we're actually going to make this a different color i'm actually going to set this to gray i'm going to go for the very lucky asian number triple 8 twice and make this like middle gray and you can actually play around with the parameters as you like i'm going to make this an all caps kind of situation and i'm also going to change the tracking here a little bit to zero so that you know everything is nicely spaced evenly um you can make the font as big or small as you like this is these are just all character parameters as you muck around you can mark around with these to your pleasure but very similar to pretty much every other program that you've used out there that uses type in any way shape or form okay so right now this is not centered and that's no good we need to bring it to the center now there are a couple ways you could do this there are a few things down here that we haven't looked at at all there is this grid pattern that you can choose if you hold down on the grid pattern you can kind of see there are a couple options you can choose from you can have rulers that come on the side here if you're very familiar with photoshop you can drag rulers in and bring them in as as you like but we don't need them for right now in fact they're really kind of annoying so i'm going to drag them straight off so i'm going to drag them away from me alternatively you can pull up the title safe and that'll actually give you a set of crosshairs right in the middle there we can probably line it up right there to be right dead center now another way you could do this though is if you have just created your text and you don't want to use the crosshairs because you know for whatever reason there is this thing called the align tool and so the align tool again if you go to windows and go to a line it will show you these things here and what you can do is you can actually just go i'm going to use the central line and i'm going to use the vertical line and there you go you're dead center in the composition now that's where your object is which is fantastic and i use this all the time for lots of different things all right so right now we're going to just pre-compose this text and we're just going to make this the main text so we're just going to right click we're just going to highlight this and go to layer and then pre compose and then we're just going to call this text main i know we just called this text main but let's call this actually let's call it uh let's just call it text we'll just call it text that just makes no sense so right now that's just a piece of text inside the text and that'll be abundantly more clear as we go on alright so the first thing i'm going to do now is also we're going to set a gradient over the top of this uh of this text so let's make a new gradient i'll go to the rectangle tool up here and we're going to select the rectangle and we're going to select the fill and change it to a gradient like we did before now let's create a just say rectangle as we did before drag one out there we go fantastic now we don't like these colors because this is not the colors that we're looking for so again go to the selection tool and you can see these two little handles that get pulled out again and so let's adjust these gradients as we did before now this time let's pick some slightly different colors so let's go for we'll go for a sort of a darker blue towards the top and maybe sort of a warmer blue towards the bottom but we'll also make it quite bright so there we go and that's not too bad all right now what i want to do though is i actually just want to split this gradient into two sections so what we're going to do is i'm actually going to select the scale and and we're going to go to the scale properties here and we're just going to uncheck this and make this 50 percent and what's that going to what that's going to do is going to shrink down my whole shape down to 50 and we're going to move this to the top here like this and that looks pretty good actually i just might make this top color just a little bit darker so i'm just going to select this again and let's see let's make this just a teeny bit darker i really want that gradient to really shine you'll see why in a second all right so now that we've done that we're actually going to duplicate this so what you can do is you can go highlight this and go edit and then we're going to duplicate and you this is right here alternately you can press command d or control d to actually get that duplication happening as well and we're just going to hold shift and drag this all the way down so effectively we've created a new instance of that shape tool now they're not linked they're just it's just a new instance all right so let's click click on the selection tool and let's go down and change the gradient for this one as well so let's go up here and we'll make this a slightly different color let's make this start with a a different hue so almost like a that's a purpley kind of hue maybe and then let's go the end color and make this like a i don't know let's see maybe like an orangey maybe a peachy kind of here and that's not too bad all right there we go those are our two gradient hues that we are muck around with today you can muck around this for taste but that's the one i'm choosing all right so now selecting both these things we'll actually rename them let's make this the let's talk bottom gradient just so we understand what we're doing because sometimes these things can get a bit confusing top gradient all right selecting both these things by holding ctrl or command we're going to pre-compose both these things into another layer as well so we're going to go to layer and then also pre-compose because you can see here there is also a shortcut here it should be shift command-c if you're on a mac or in a pc it's ctrl shift-c so there we go and let's call this gradient one and then go okay now there we go nothing's happened but that's just because we've moved everything into here all right so let's shrink this down so it's actually so as you can see here there are little handles on the edge of these things if you can't see these things they should be coming up you need to check this box here is a toggle mask and shape path visibility that'll become up and disappear as you select that but just select that and we're going to hold down shift as we're doing it because if you don't hold down shift things that just get a bit wonky you know just change change the the um the scale of things as they like if you want to see what's actually happening here if you go to transform you can see the scale property here we're going to hold down scale so scaled proportionately just so it covers the you know around the height of the of of the text that we're looking at here so just roughly around there try and get it as close as you can again i'm using the scroll wheel to get in closer alternatively you can use the comma or plus comma awful stop to zoom in and zoom out on the keyboard as you like all right here we go now that covers it fine but we want to actually get it to cover the very edges of the frame and actually want it to go all the way to the edge so what we can do again is go to effects and presets and we've actually had motion tile selected but if you want to type it in again we'll type in motion motion tile and we'll just drag that down onto this and we'll just expand the width again so it just becomes a continuous gradient like that all right so that's great but now what so i'm going to introduce you to a new thing called mats now if you're familiar with photoshop you understand what mattes are but effectively what happens is that we want the gradient to inherit the shape of the text so if you can imagine we only want the gradient to be visible when that where the text is visible so what we need to do is grab the gradient and then we'll put it below the text and we'll have the text on top and what we're going to do is when we turn this little switch on which is called the trackman now if you can't find the word track matte just go up here to where one of these things are and right click in here and then go to modes and that will just pop up now we're going to select alpha matte and what it's going to do is this bottom layer is going to inherit the alpha channel of the top layer or effectively just take on what is visible so whatever is visible in the top layer will only be visible in the bottom layer so let's do that give it a sec and there we go all right the next thing we're going to do is add a bevel to the text so we're going to select our text layer and we're going to duplicate this so command d or ctrl d to actually duplicate these things and then we're going to turn it on now what we can do here is we can go to the effects thing and type in bevel and we're going to look for bevel alpha and there we go we're going to bring this on here and what it'll do by default is actually add some great bevel to our scene we're actually going to bring the bevel so it's a bit close to the top we muck around the angle the light intensity i'm going to bring the light intensity all the way up and maybe just make it a tad thicker and that is great now the reason why we made the text green up so gray did i say green gray is because when you select the transfer mode here now transfer mode is a special way to combine a layer with all the layers below it different modes will give different results in this case we're going to select overlay because that keys out the gray in the text and just gives us the bevel edges so let's do that we're going to go to overlay as you can see here and it adds a nice little bevel to the scene as you can see now we're just going to muck around with the lighting here just so it just kind of gives us what we want and i think that looks pretty nice now we're going to do this one more time we're going to build we're going to duplicate this with the effects on it the bevel alpha channel as you can see here it's got bevel alpha on it so we're going to duplicate this one more time and we're going to actually muck around with the angle again so we get like a bit of an opposite angle so let's just really bring it down here and as you can see it gives you a little bit of a more dimensionality on the object itself so i'll just show you with with and without so that's without the extra bevel and with the extra bevel it just gives a little bit of edge to the bottom here as well all right so we're going to duplicate this one more time so let's let's rename this so this is text uh bevel one and then we're gonna write bevel two and then we're gonna rename this texts gradient all right so let's duplicate this one more time and then we're going to bring this to the bottom this time and we're going to bring it right down the bottom here and we're actually going to take the effect off this one so we don't need this effect anymore so if you scroll down and go for the effect and go delete now we're going to do a little bit something a bit funky here so what we're going to try here is add a layer style so if you right click on the text if you're very familiar with photoshop you'll know exactly what i'm doing but we're going to right click here and go for the layer style and here we're going to add a stroke to this and if we're just going to hide as you can see here it is red and that's kind of not what we want but we do want the stroke but it doesn't really matter what the color is we're just going to increase the stroke just stroke just a little bit and uh just so that's just you know right right in those edges there so you can see here it's very very 80s all right so what we're going to do too is just to muck around with this just a little bit and i realize this is probably the best way of doing it is if you go to the project here and we've got our gradient one we're actually going to duplicate that so effect and we're going to duplicate gradient one and make a gradient too now this is a new instance so you can actually go into grading so if you try changing something in gradient two it's not going to affect anything in gradient one which is fantastic so we created a new instance so let's double click into gradient 2 and see what we can do with it now we've got these things here now what i want to do actually is i actually want to rotate these things around so what we can do up here is we can actually go to the gradient tool and sew it to the gradient and we'll just rotate these around alternatively you can come up here and we just want to flip these colors around so we want the dark blue to be at the bottom and the light blue to be at the top now you could go through and actually just change the gradient itself but i'm actually going to do it a slightly easier way we're just going to go transform we're going to right click it and go transform and go flip vertical and then likewise this i'm going to transform and then flip vertical and there we go that is it upside down now let's go back to our composition which was text main and let's drag on gradient 2 onto this i'm below the text below the text layer and likewise we are going to shrink this down hold down shift and shrink this down so it's roughly about the size of the text the height of the text if it's too small it'll actually start to clip so we don't want that and we're just going to go to the mo the effects on this one and we're just going to copy this motion tile because it is exactly the same we're going to copy it by pressing ctrl c or command c copy and then we're going to go here and we're going to get paste it on and i'll actually paste that effect on and we've got very similar things and likewise as we did with the gradient on this one we're going to try and punch out a very similar alpha channel with this text layer and so we're going to go okay oh we need to set off the overlay on this as well so let's turn off overlay and make it normal um and let's change this to alpha and then there we go give it a sec and there we go we've got a very juicy looking text outline on there i think that actually looks a little bit too thick so i'm actually going to dial down the layer style just a touch so if we go up here to the text to this text layer we can actually dial down this size you can actually twirl down on this now i probably should rename this because that makes sense it's also important to note that renaming your layers doesn't actually change the layer themselves they're still all referencing the same layer the reason why we are renaming everything is so we can keep track of what's going on especially when we go and dive into the project at a later date trust me it'll save you so much time fantastic that's looking very retro i think so the last thing we're going to do is add a text sheen to the top of this so we're going to duplicate this text gradient layer and we're going to bring it to the top to do ctrl d or command d and bring it to the top here and as you can see it's just that color there and we're going to add a animated mask so we'll highlight this text and we'll rename it text sheen and we'll go to the try the rectangle tool up here and we'll select it and we're just going to draw a rectangle a really long rectangle or something like that it's kind of nice and thin whatever you like and make it about there and we're just going to drag we're going to grab this arrow tool after we've made that rectangle and we're just going to select so we're going to hold that shift and select on these two points and just drag them across like this alternatively you can just come up here and muck around the mask path yourself i like if you hold shift it'll allow you to uh select and unselect the points itself so if you go okay so if you've got everything selected for example like this you just want to select the one point hold down shift and that'll unselect one and then you can go back and reselect these things that's kind of the way i like to do it all right so we can animate this mask so again using the keyframes that we learned earlier we can set up a keyframe here and uh as you can see i set a keyframe in the middle here which is no good but you can actually because this is because we've got the keyframe referencing this point in time uh if you if you select everything and then drag it here it'll actually make the keyframe start from here and if we go to the end here and then double click on this so we got a bounding box we can actually drag everything across hold down shift we can bring everything across actually let's make it go all the way to the very edge of the screen because i'll show you why in a second there we go so what's happening now if we press play you can see that a sheen goes across but that's too slow so let's make it a little bit faster let's make it start at one second and then we'll make it end at around two and a half seconds somewhere around there let's see level let's see how that looks okay that's great however this looks gray which is not right so let's make this a different color so we're going to make this white and so the way we do that is we grab another effect and we're going to call this one fill well we didn't call it it's actually called fill and under generate there's this drag fill onto the top here ha phil sounds like i'm talking about it dude drag fill and we're going to change the fill color to white and then let's have a look at this one more time actually doesn't look too bad now if you want you can actually muck around with the feathering of this mask as well if you want to make it a little bit more like a softer glow we don't have to but you know i kind of like the the hardness of it all but it's up to you that's completely your preference now the last thing we're going to do is actually animate the text coming up out of the ground so let's try that so let's jump into the text and this is what's kind of cool about this now that we've set everything with the text we can actually jump into these text and these although we have renamed these text layers these are all referencing the same piece of text so let me show you what i mean if i jump into this piece of text here we can name this something else so if i type my name nikku if we come back to the original text everything is updated and it doesn't matter what you do to it it doesn't matter and that's why i said i wanted to make the mask animate off frame because so my name's a little bit wider than the ula fermi name so it'll actually cover the whole screen regardless of what we do now obviously there's a cap on how big we can make the word but you can muck around with these things to you know to your preference but let's set it back to ulufemi just for now okay there we go all right so what we're going to do is we're going to have the ad the anime the text actually rise out of the bottom and like i said before what we're going to do is use a different technique using the alpha mattes that we said before so in this case you can use alpha mattes to actually hide things so let me show you what i mean so in this instance we're going to create a new shape here and so we go to the rectangle tool we're going to change the fill to a solid it doesn't really matter in this instance but i'm just going to use it just so it makes it a bit easier and if you can imagine i'm going to create an area where the text will be visible when the solid is above it and invisible when it's not so let's say i'm going to draw a text a rectangle here like this right up to the very edge of where the text is at the bottom here now you can move that around if you haven't got it quite right just move it around so it's there so it does cover the top half of the text so it doesn't it's not visible all right so if we using that what i'm going to tell this what i'm going to tell this text to do is that it's only visible in the blue areas and invisible where there isn't any blue so if you go here and go to alpha matte this is what happens nothing happens but that's okay but what i've effectively done is that remember when i said everything that is blue which is this area here will be visible everything that's outside the blue will it'll be invisible so check this out when i drag it down it starts to disappear and that's kind of cool and that's what we kind of want so if you press p to bring up the position and we set a keyframe right here we'll go to the beginning and then we'll set a keyframe so it's outside of the area of the blue and hold down shift while you're doing it so it goes straight down now when we press play it sort of looks like it's rising out of the ground now there's a little bit of a thunk when it sort of comes out of the ground which is not the end of the world but i don't particularly like that and that has to do with the fact that these are just uh it's just using a constant speed and there's no like uh sort of easing to the to the edge of the frame and we can probably fix that by just going right clicking on that particular keyframe and go keyframe assistant and go easy ease and that'll just make things a little bit nicer and there we go now if we come back here you can have a look and see what how this actually plays out so if we press play and press spacebar not bad not bad at all all right so we've done our text animation and we've done our background animation now let's do a little bit of housekeeping just to make sure that we're keeping everything all organized so right now where the only main things we need to look at are the background and the main text so we're going to keep those outside but the rest of these things are what i would call pre-comps which are just things that we've used as elements within our scene now i would suggest highlighting these actual elements like if you want to highlight a group of things you can hold down shift and actually drag a whole bunch of them out otherwise you can just hold down command or control and then we'll drag these into another folder and we'll call this precomps just to keep things a little bit neat and tidy and there we go our main background our main elements are here let's have a look how we're going anyway so what i'm going to do here is i'm just going to drag this background into a new comp and let's rename this it actually creates a background called background too but we'll call this retro title comp and uh the background is in there let's drag our main text in there as well and let's see how this all looks together at the moment that doesn't look too bad not bad at all all right now let's create the last bit which is basically the the scratchy text which is like the complementary text or the secondary text that we had at the bottom so let's create a new composition and we'll call this sec we'll call this text secondary now this one we probably don't have to do as much work but we'll just i'll just take it through it anyway i found this really fun text we'll just bring this into the comps window as well we'll just i'm just gonna there's a really fun font i found called road rage which you can probably use and this sort of really gives you the right vibe i think all right so we're just going to bring this to the middle here we're going to use the align tool to bring everything into the middle again um i'm going to look up the character and i'm going to look for the effect road rage i thought that looked pretty nice i'm going to un check the all caps because i think actually looks better as a non-caps thing i'm going to bring it down just a touch it doesn't need to be as big let's create another gradient now this is going to be super easy we're going to use the same technique that we did before we're going to up here go to fill go to gradient let's create that gradient we're going to select a box in this case we'll just select it or just around the text that we've got here we know it's not going to be not such a big deal we're just going to do a lazy one here something like this and then like this and then we're going to make this top color maybe a bit warmer something like a warmer red and then the bottom color more like an orangey sunset similar to what we had to the sun before there we go okay like i was bringing this below and we'll select this and go alphamat and there we go that's pretty much it alright so secondary text is already done [Music] so let's bring this all together and go back to our retro title comp and let's bring the secondary text in here like this and just shrink this down and then we'll rotate it so if you go to press w you can actually bring out the rotation tool um and that'll actually give you this little wiggity thing like this alternatively you can press r to bring up the rotation and just go wee now i actually think that the uh i'm actually going to turn it just something like this i think the text is a bit smaller so i'm going to bring it's a teeny bit larger than that not bad now what i'm going to do is now it's not a very exciting text here i'm actually going to change the the kerning of this just a touch so that maybe is it kerning tracking i don't really know which one it is i'm actually going to select this bottom one here and i'm just going to make this change this slide one slightly so it's just slightly more there and there we go that's what i kind of like about it maybe i'll just make this just a little bit less less ugly now i actually want this to appear like a after after it's appeared so somewhere around there so we're actually going to start the secondary text somewhere around the one second mark so it's not going to be there until one second mark so what you can do just like in premiere just drag it across so it is just there and then we're just going to go okay bang that's what we're going to do bang now it looks a bit dumb that it's a bit derpy that it just sort of just appears out of nowhere so we're going to add a little bit of animation to it so we're going to bring the scale up so press s for scale or if you want just go to the rotate the transform properties for some reason if you don't have the s key to press but if you've got the s key just press s to bring the s key up now we're going to set a keyframe maybe around the 1 12 mark we'll send one key keynote there so that's where it's going to rest but we're also going to put a keyframe at the beginning here it's going to scale down really really uh what do you call subtly if you like so let's scale this up just a touch i'm going to hold down the apple or the control key so the command or control key just to give me a bit more precision when i do this and so what's going to happen is it's going to do this and so when it appears it comes down like that that's a little bit too slow so i'm going to bring this a little bit closer and like i said before we're going to press f9 to bring up the ease to put an ease on it now if you don't know where the f9 key is don't worry you can just go to keyframe assistant and go easy ease and then that's going to make things go down like that and that still looks a little bit derpy there's nothing happening here but to really emphasize the point we're going to go in here and go left click and go new solid and we're going to make this one black so let's go here make sure all these details are the same if you want just press make comp size if you're not really sure and we're going to call this lens flare so we're going to go here we're going to bring this here just like around just before this occurs so the lens flare is going to start there and what we're going to do is we're going to go to the effects and presets and we're going to type in lens flare now this lens flare is pretty ugly but it's the built-in one and it can be usable but it is pretty ugly so let's drag it on and actually you can see we've got this funky little lens flare see a little crosshair here you can kind of move it around muck around with it here otherwise you can go up here you can actually you know drag it to where you like we're not going to use this particular one we're going to use a different one so let's change it to this 105 prime i like the color of this one a bit more and what we're going to do is we're going to animate the brightness so actually let's bring this just a little bit further up so it starts a bit further here so let's set some keyframes to the brightness it's going to be the brightest here when it just occurs so would make the flare like pretty bright so let's turn it up so it almost fills the screen about there and let's set a keyframe you can actually set keyframes up here where the stopwatch is so we can set a keyframe there now that is reflected down here on this panel here as well so you can kind of see there we go we've got a keyframe already set from the one we set up there but let's go to the beginning and let's set the brightness of the flare to zero so it starts at zero and so right now you can see it zooms up and then it's going to we're going to set another keyframe so it goes back down to zero and so what's going to happen is that it'll go up and then come down and it's very very subtle we might actually make it even shorter than that i'm actually going to shrink this back just a little bit there we go so i'm actually going to cut this layer off at the bottom here at the back here now as you can see here i'm actually a little bit having trouble actually getting to the edge and normally you would actually drag the edge back to do that but that's that is when i started out that was a really annoying thing to have to do and i didn't like doing that now since then there's a much easier way and so if you select this and go edit and then go up here to split layer it's shift command d or shift ctrl d if you split the layer it'll actually split the layer where the marker is and then just highlight the layer you don't want and just delete it and that's it now obviously this is just on black and you're probably wondering why is it on black well what we can do here is we'll go to the transfer mode which is up here now if you don't know where transfer mode is again go to columns go to modes and you've got a whole bunch of these transfer modes just like you do in photoshop and in premiere now i'm going to set this one to add as you can see here it's just going to animate over the top and there you go now as you can see here the flare probably should come down the bottom here where the text is so let's set the the center of the flare to actually be here you can actually animate this flare as well like as in the position of the flare just like we have everything else but in this particular phase i don't think we need to so let's see how this animates on bam a little bit nicer isn't it there we go boom all right so that's the animation in a nutshell now there are a couple little things here i probably want to do just to make it a little bit more 80s now this is all very flat so let's go into the background layer and let's see if we can add a little bit more dimension to the objects themselves now the sun itself i think should be glowing so let's add a little bit of a glow to the background sun so if we go here and type glow we can actually grab a glow under stylize and just put it on top now not much happens but let's see if we can improve that just a little bit we can actually increase the radius just a touch oh sorry that's the wrong thing that's why it didn't work let's go to glow drag it onto the sun this time and let's increase the radius just a touch there we go and encrypt we'll muck around with the uh the glow threshold this plug-in is not my favorite for glows unfortunately i think it is not a great plug-in generally for glowing it's very basic you can add an extra one on top to kind of muck around with like what you feel is appropriate but again i find this very uncontrollable and not my favorite glow plugin at all but it is what we have built into this thing but it might take a little bit of time to kind of muck around with what you do if you have the money and i suggest if you have the money and you really want to get them to put more glows into your things there is a much better plug-in called deep glow it's not overly expensive but it is very very good and it is uh makes things glow a lot nicer as you can see the difference between the two but if you can't afford it or if you're just starting out and you're not sure if you want to get into after effects glow is what you want to use but again not my favorite thing and i would probably suggest something else if you can help it but there you go uh we have that glowing as well and i'm going to put a glow onto our now i went back up a title i'm going to put a glow onto this layer as well and uh let's go put a glow on this and again you just have to muck around with this to kind of get it to where you want i'm going to increase the glow radius just a touch and threshold just a little bit just so that it affects a bit more of what's going on there you go not bad now we're just going to add a little bit of dimensionality to the actual picture itself so let's add another solid as well so let's go to edit and then sorry go to layer and then go solid and we're going to add a little vignette around there's basically like a dark border around the edge to kind of make it feel a little bit more focused in the middle and so it just gives you a black solid here we're going to go to the circle tool and we're just going to draw out a circle now holding down shift while this black is selected we can drag out a circle like this and try and get it it doesn't have to be perfect but just somewhere in the middle is kind of good now we're going to invert the selection here and we're going to go down to the mask properties here and we're just going to feather this around 500 or 600 there you go and we'll just expand it out just a touch just so we've got a bit more just a bit more on the edges there and that's a lot look into that so if you press play there you go your retro tutorial so what's great about this well now that you've set everything up it's super easy to go back and change things for the way you want so for example let's go to the main tool we go to this text tool and like i said you can just change the name you know maybe i want to call it nikku and then we go back and then or maybe or maybe you want to change the font as well now this might be a little bit trickier but you can do this so let's i think there's a different font you can choose which is a desktop which is also kind of fun and let's try this one this is looking a lot more retro we can actually make that just a little bit bigger and so you can have a lot more fun with the way you want to play with these parameters because everything has been set up so you don't have to choose too many things to kind of get things to be fixed if that makes you know you don't have to muck around with too many things and you know you can change the colors of your gradients for example if you don't like the colors of your gradient you can always go through and go okay actually i want to make this a bit more of a purpley vibe rather than a peach vibe so let's go with um again let's go with magenta magenta is always a winner isn't it there we go magenta and we'll make this a darker purple just to kind of really change things up just a touch there you go that's definitely looking a lot more retro in its vibe i would say so that makes this very easy to muck around with [Music] now we've got our logo done and that's really nice now we're going to really throw it over the top and really add some vhs elements to it to really go for that full-on retro vibe so what i like to do is go to inviter elements and look for some stock footage that is like vhs stock footage the real thing always looks a lot better than trying to generate it yourself you can generate vhs noise in after effects but it doesn't look as good as the real thing so i found one here which looks pretty good so what we're going to do is grab our piece of vhs footage and bring it onto the timeline like this and as you can see if you use the scroll wheel you can see it's actually bigger than what we need it to be so let's scale that down holding down shift and grab the edges we're going to shrink this all the way down otherwise you can just use the scale property if you can remember what that is do you remember what it is it's s all right good job now as you can see here the when we press play on the space bar we can see that the footage sort of goes to a sort of muddy gray and that's we want it to be black um in those gray areas so what we can do is we're going to go up to the effects and presets panel up here and we're going to look for a levels adjustment levels basically is a color correction uh effect allows us to uh change the the black and white levels of an object so here we go we're going to bring it here as you can see here there are just a couple sliders here the only ones you're really going to need to know are this one and this one so what we're going to do is we're going to drag this one to the end from the end to the middle so it becomes black and this one we're going to drag until these little white bits become these little light bits become white and let me be abundantly clear in a second so we'll make it as maybe a bit brighter now we will adjust this for taste but if you kind of look here now it's just a black and white image mostly all right that looks pretty good now if we go to the transfer mode remember transfer modes from in this little panel here the the way that we combine layers together we're going to go to the transfer mode and we're just going to click on here and we're going to go to screen and what screen does is it knocks out the dark areas and just keeps the light areas so here we go and there we go now if we press play you can kind of see what is happening now to me that is a little bit too full on so we're just going to muck around with this to kind of get this to be not so extreme so what i'm going to do is i'm going to drag the top end of this levels control so if you highlight the footage again and go to the levels control up here we are going to just bring this just down just a touch and we might actually bring this up just a touch so it's it's not that it's invisible it's just that we're just going to muck around to it we kind of get it to a place where i feel like it's a lot more subtle than it is super obvious so there we go that's a little bit better i like it yeah i like that that looks a lot better it doesn't look too overpowering and that's what we kind of want all right so the next step to really get it to garble and see as you can see here it looks cool over the top but it looks too clean as you can see nothing in the background is moving and if you look at old vhs footage everything is moving nothing is still so the way we can fix that is we're going to introduce you to this thing called an adjustment layer so here we go if you go to the top here under layer go to new adjustment layer or shift command y or shift control y if you're on a pc and we're just going to drag this below our piece of vhs footage so what is an adjustment layer well an adjustment layer is a layer that you put on top of everything else as you can see i put it here and it doesn't really change anything but what it is is an invisible layer that if you put an effect on it it'll affect everything below it let me give you an example so i'm going to find a fast box blur and we're just going to drag it straight on to an adjustment layer now nothing happens by default because it is set to zero but what happens when we turn it up to for example 10. everything below it is blurred now that looks kind of cool but you can see here the top layer is not blurred because we have below the vhs footage but if we move the adjustment layer below for example onto the background layer above the background layer you can see that the background is now out of focus but the text on top is not and likewise if we drag this layer above the main text layer the main text layer is out of focus but the secondary text is not so that is what an adjustment layer does in a nutshell so we're going to move it back up just below the vhs footage so because we only want to affect everything below the vhs so we're going to delete this effect and we're going to start again all right so we're going to go up here to the effects of presets panel and we're going to look for a an effect called displacement map and what this does is it allows us to take the black and white image of another piece of footage and remap it onto our footage and distort it in different ways so in essence what happens is that it is going to look at the vhs footage and then if it is a white if it is a white pixel it will move it to the left to the right and if it is a black pixel it will move it to the left so i'll show you what happens we're going to set up here if you go to the displacement map here i'm going to close down this graphics panel all right we're going to set the displacement map to the vhs footage which is 5 and then what we're going to do is we're going to change the horizontal displacement to luminance and the vertical displacement to luminance all right and look what happens when we play this back now it's very subtle but you can kind of see the text is all wobbly now now we can increase the amount that it actually moves by so we'll set this to maybe seven and then another seven and see how we go and as you can see it is already distorting things quite a lot that might be a little too much let me make it a six oh let's try this one more time looking good now to export this out of after effects so you can post it on your socials or bring it into premiere [Music] we are nearly at the end but the final step is to actually export this video out of after effects so you can post it on the instagram or put it on your premiere timeline so what do we do first we select the composition that we want to export in this case it's retro title comp and then we'll go to composition and then we have two options here add to media encoder queue or add to render queue we're going to stick with the second option first because that's a bit easier to explain so firstly let's go to add to render queue so right now you're going to be met with this window which is called the render queue now at the moment these settings are garbage so we're going to change them right now so let's go to current settings and go to make template and right now you're met with this render settings templates and this is basically where you can set the default options for your render settings so right now movie default is set on current settings and frame default is set on current settings as well so what we're going to do is change them both to best settings and that will fix that issue and then we're just going to press ok now we'll just make sure that we select best settings as our default we're going to do the same here on output modules so we'll select the drop down menu and we'll go down to make template and where it says untitled we're going to make our own so we're going to call this one prores i think prores is a pretty good format you can decide whatever format you like but we're going to call it prores because that's the one i like to use and we're just going to press edit and now we can go in here and select the format we want we can go into quicktime and then format options leave it on rgb manage the colors pre-multiply it and then go format options and then we'll change the codec to whatever codec you like i'm going for apple prores 422 ltt select that press ok and then we'll press ok one more time and then we'll change the movie default to what we just created which was prores and then go okay now the last thing you need to do is set where you want this to save so we'll just click on here and here it'll bring you into your file structure and select where you want it to be rendered in this case this is fine with me so i'm just going to press save and then we have to do is just press render and you'll hear the after effects chime and it is ready to go now the second option might be a little bit easier for some people as well if you want to export directly from after effects into an mp4 for example so let's go and select our composition one more time and then go to composition and then go to add to media encoder this will automatically launch media encoder it might not load as fast as this but because my after effects is quite fast it'll probably do it quite quickly so you'll be immediately greeted with this window and these are the default settings that i have when i open media encoder so you can select h.264 or whatever format you decide to use there is a whole lot of formats you can choose from i'm going to just choose h264 and this is great for web stuff so if you want to export something for instagram for example h264 match source high bitrate which is also one of these presets which is right at the very top and then again clicking here you can choose where you want to save it in this particular case i'm just going to save it in here press save and then press play and you're done and that is it that is exporting from after effects all right guys you've made it to the end of the tutorial well done thank you for watching this video now if you have completed a render and tag me i will repost it on my instagram feed i promise you i want to see what you guys are doing all right guys thanks for watching and if you want to check out everything that i'm doing on instagram check out my handle here you can water blah blah blah but anyway thanks for watching guys and remember never use after effects for editing peace
