Hello friends, welcome to TutorialsPoint

In this video, we are going to learn Composition Panel in After Effects
0:15
Hey friends, Composition Panel is a big panel here, center of the interface
0:19
And this gives you a visual view of the project. Now here on the bottom side of the Composition Panel, you can see there are many buttons
0:27
and switches regarding this panel. So let's see in detail one by one
0:33
Now here we can see the magnification ratio which help us to zoom in and zoom out our
0:38
preview panel in percentages. So if I click on 25%, then our canvas area will be zoomed at 25%
0:47
If I click on fit or fit up to 100%, then this will be fit the composition panel
0:53
Now right side of this magnification option, we can see grid and guide option
0:59
Here you can see title, action safe, proportional grid, guide and other things
1:04
Once you activate this option, then you again need to click them to turn them off
1:10
Beside this option, you can see preview time option. This is an indication where the time indicator is located on the timeline panel
1:19
So as you can see, if we move this current time indicator, then time is also changed
1:25
in preview time. Now beside this preview time, you can see take snapshot option, which takes a snapshot
1:34
of current composition panel. And beside this take snapshot option, you can see show snapshot option to see the snapshot
1:42
we took earlier. For example, in our composition panel, we have this text element, when element and this
1:49
plane element. For now, I just take a snapshot and after that I made some changes in my project
2:19
So, if I want to see how it looked before, then just click on show snapshot to see how
2:38
the composition is look earlier. Beside that you can see show channel and color management settings
2:47
Here you can change color channel to red, to green, to blue, to alpha and RGB straight
2:57
Beside this option, we have a resolution option. So if I make a quarter, then our preview is pixelated
3:06
If we make it half, then it's less pixelated. Now you guys have a question that why we make it low resolution
3:14
Or why does we change this resolution? So answer is for fast preview
3:18
When we create big project, we regularly use this option as to work fast so that we can
3:25
see our animation in smooth way. If I set resolution to low, then it's preview faster
3:32
Now beside this, we have other options like region of interest, toggle transparency grid
3:38
3D view popup, select view layout, and many more. All these options you will learn in our upcoming videos, when we going to use these in our lecture
3:49
So now that's all about composition panel. In the next video, we are going to learn about project panel
