  In this After Effects Tutorial VideoFort Jon give a quick overview on how to use the Speed Graph Editor. With a new Comp created, add a text layer and set up some position keyframes. Once you have the positions keyframed, highlight the keyframes and press F9 on your keyboard. This will change them to Easy Ease (bezier keyframes), and smooth the motion of your text. Now, with Position selected in the transform controls, select the Graph Editor in your Comp Window (looks like a square with a squiggly in it, next to the Auto-Keyframe button). You should get a graph of the positions you keyframed. Right click in the graph and select speed graph editor. You should get something that looks like a bell curve. You can play with these curves to change the velocity of the text.Be sure to turn on Motion Blur and your text will become ultra dynamicl. What cool effects videos do you create?

After Effects: Using Basic Expressions
Views: 42842

  In this After Effects Tutorial VideoFort Jon teaches you the basics of Expressions by starting out with the Wiggle expression. An expression in After Effects can be used in lieu of keyframing to animate layers. Start out by loading your footage into the comp. Then drop down the transform controls and select Position. Then go up to effects and select add expression. In the comp timeline, next to position, transform.position should appear. Delete this and type in wiggle(5, 10). This will make the layer move 5 times in one second, by a factor of five pixels. From here you can alter either value as you please. If you want to specify a start point for your expression you need to add a Slider Control from the Effects. From there you will need to delete the 10 value and with the cursor in place of the 10, select the Expression Pick Whip and select the slider control. You will notice another expression has been added in place of the 10. Now you can use the Slider Control to keyframe the expression. Expressions can be used anywhere you can keyframe. Show us what you can create by posting your projects in.......

Cinema 4D: Cobblestone Logo Effect

In this tutorial VideoFort Don shows you how to create a dramatic cobblestone logo effect in Cinema 4D using displacement maps . In the first step you need to create a large plane for the ground and an Icosahedron sphere that slightly intersects the ground. Next, using the deformers tab, create a collision deformation allowing the sphere to press into the ground layer. Now create the text you would like to use or insert the logo file you wish to transform. Make sure to rotate the text or logo to be flat with your ground level and centered in the dent you created. You will then create another collision from the ground level to your text, in the opposite direction of the original dent using the inside stretch option in the collisions tab. Next, you can add texture and shadowing. To finish, you can fine tune your image using different masking, blurring, lighting, and other similar tools....
