How To Edit in After Effects Basic Tutorial + SMOOTH Zoom / Spin / Slide Transition Tutorial
Time stamps/matching footage/any errors I make in explaining listed below!
TIME STAMPS:
Composition/Importing Footage/Timeline : 0:44
Explaining the program layout (to the best of my ability): 2:49
How to split clips: 4:46 (Ctrl + shift + d)
Before transitions (adding motion tile, essential to watch before starting the transition tutorial): 5:30
How to make a smooth scale (zoom in) transition: 7:31 (If you're extremely new to After Effects I recommend watching this before trying the other transitions as I provide the most in depth explanation here)
How to make a smooth rotation (spin) transition: 15:14
How to make smooth slow motion without Twixtor : 18:54
How to make a smooth slide transition: 20:16
If you would like to follow along with what I did with matching footage, here is the footage I was using if you want to try and do everything the same! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qGai...
'Flashing Lights' was the song I used for that specific raw. (I muted all of the layers and then just put a layer that wasn't viewable but you could hear at the bottom, that way the song would stay the same speed even if I slowed the footage down)
Errors in my explanation:
Don't return scale to 0%, return it to 100% (mentioned at 7:24 regarding resetting the clip after zooming out to see what it will look like with motion tile)
0 only works as a play button IF you're pressing the 0 on the number pad if your keyboard has one
I'm sorry if I explain anything weird, writing a script for a video that before cuts was 30 minutes long is most certainly not ideal as my fellow editors would know. If you need a more in depth explanation of anything let me know. If you're having any trouble let me know and I can try to help. I can make more advanced tutorials in the future if more people would like to see that. I'll post more Alicia Online specific related content in the coming week!
