all right for hearing After Effects and
0:54
first like always let's create a new
0:56
comp hit Control Plus and or this little
0:58
icon here for the composition name type
1:00
whatever you want I will type final
1:03
width and height full HD 1920x1080 30
1:06
frames per second and it's okay to leave
1:09
it to maybe around 10 seconds hit OK and
1:11
now let's create our background right
1:13
click go to new find here solid I will
1:16

1:17
background also full HD hit OK and now
1:21
it's time to add our first effect go

here in the facts and press it and type
1:25
fill but before that if you can find
1:27
effects and preset go to window and just
1:30
hit here okay now type
1:33
fill effect drag and drop onto our
1:36
background layer open up colors and for
1:39
the Hue saturation type 0 and for the
1:42
brightness go around 80 percent now hit
1:46
OK and our next step is to import our
1:49
media here in our scene just drag and
1:52
drop your media like this this is bigger
1:56
media I'll just do scale for scaling
1:58
maybe around
2:00
27 okay then hit P for position move it
2:05
to around here like so
2:08
and now it's time to add our next effect
2:10
go again here in the facts and preset to
2:12
find Triton effect drag and drop onto
2:15
our media and for the mid tones open up
2:18
this option a hue 0 saturation also zero
2:23
and brightness leave it here uh to maybe
2:27
around 50 hit OK and now it's time to
2:30
animate our media go again here on this
2:33
position option for our media setup our
2:37
first keyframe move up bit to the right
2:39
like this and then go here to around 2
2:43
seconds and move a little to the left
2:45
like this okay now select all of our two
2:49
keyframes hit F9 open up graph editor
2:52
and draw a curve like this
2:55
and if you can't find curve like this
2:57
just hit right click and then hit here

3:13
onto our media 01 and now we will make
3:17
here a few adjustments for the direction
3:20
type here 50 you can play around with
3:23
wooden feather but I recommend to leave
3:25
it maybe around 300 and now it's time to
3:28
animate our transition gold at zero
3:31
frames set up our first keyframe then go
3:34
to two seconds and type here 100 just
3:40
hit you to show a transition completion
3:42
keyframe select keyframes also go here
3:47
in the graph editor and draw similar
3:50
curve like before
3:51

3:55
do reverse animation grab all of those
3:57
two keyframes then right click go to
4:00
keyframe assistance and just hit here
4:03
time reverse keyframes and now when we
4:06
hit the zero in our finals I'll just
4:09
lower down our resolution for the
4:11
preview we have this really cool and
4:15
awesome movement
4:17
okay now let's make the design even
4:19
better looking first step is to hit on
4:22
this grid and guide options and hit here
4:24
titles and action safe okay it will be
4:27
useful for our next mask and solid layer
4:30
then go right click find here a solid
4:33
layer I will rename it to square also
4:37
full HD hit OK and now it's important to
4:40
turn off the visibility for our Square
4:42
layer then go here on this rectangle
4:45
tool or cue on your keyboard and now we
4:48
will draw a mask of our solid layer hold
4:52
Ctrl shift and ALT on your keyboard to
4:55
draw a perfect like this here in our
4:58
scene and now when we turn on the
5:01
visibility as you can see we have the

perfect square here in our finals okay
5:07
our next step is to add effect here also
5:10
go here in the facts and preset type
5:12
fill effect drag and drop also on our
5:15
Square layer and for the color choose
5:18
maybe this kind of gray one okay also we

5:26
before that just turn off this title and
5:29
action safe like this hit R for rotation
5:32
and also hold shift and hit s on your
5:36

6:38
create outline for this uh square shape
6:42
okay hit also Q on your keyboard or go
6:45
here again on this rectangle tool like
6:49
so uh make sure that our fill is set to
6:52
non-stroke to maybe around 5 also one
6:55
important step do not select anything
6:57
here in our finals and just draw also a
7:01

7:19
parameter also go here to do a second
7:22

7:30
grab all of those keyframes go to graph

7:56
here in our scene go hit Ctrl plus t or
7:59

8:26
simple but significant you can move it
8:28
to the left or right down a bit

8:40
go to window and then find the paragraph
8:43
and go here to left align text just to
8:47
