The example of the cube turning into a square was cool to begin with, but the change in background combined with scale realy made it great. Wow! Thanks for the tutorial.

This was an excellent tutorial. I just learned this and I can already say that this is the most important technique I've learned to date. You are awesome! :)

You are so generous with sharing your knowledge of motion design techniques... I have watched almost all your videos. - A Grateful Subscriber.

If you like your null objects green, you can always go to preferences-->labels and assign the color of your null objects to green. This way you don't have to do it manually every time you create a null.

for layers that already exist in the project panel, there's also a column where you can change the label color so any time you drop it into a comp it will show that color. you might have to toggle that column on or extend the width of the project panel to see it.

Thank you! I cannot wait for more content from you! :) Keep it up.

This was amazing. Exactly what I needed for my project. Nice and simple and can be applied in many ways. Definitely an essential technique. Thank you soo much!

Wow, what an awesome technique. I can use it in 3d animations as well. I didn't know this technique, and I always wondered how can I achieve these results as you showed at the end. And thanks to you I now know. This technique is so powerful. Thank you 🙏🏾

Love this comment! That is exactly the feeling I had when I learnt this technique! Thanks Vini!

Each time I tried making transitions I tried making everything "natural" - created a shape or mask layer and than tried to animate path property so that every frame has a part of gradual transition, but now I see in motion graphics you don't need "natural" transitions, you need transitions that look natural even if it's a trick (just like in tricks magicians do). Plus animating path property cannot be used in many situations. Motion graphics is magic. This video is a nice lesson.

Match cut and morphs are two completely different things, so don't use words you don't understand... morphing is VFX term and match cut is editing term, first involves picture manipulation and the other is just a basic cut.

Why did u use a Null object in the second example unlike in the first one where you parent the upper layer?

@MotionXP

Жыл бұрын

Good question! So, you don't really need to use the null, but I just think it's a cleaner workflow that also allows you to animate the properties of the child layers separately. So, with the null included, I could decide to add some extra movement to the position/rotation/scale, etc. on the child layer but if I didn't have the null, once I animated the first layer and the parented the next, I would be stuck with the animation of the first layer...I hope what I am saying makes sense, let me know if not!

Thanks for the tutorial... But I have a question, when I try from right to left everything goes fine, but when I try to do it from left to right I can't, it changes all the positions and when I connect the layers to the null object, everything stays otherwise, I can't do the rotation and even without it, one of the objects disappears completely... Can you help me?

@MotionXP

6 ай бұрын

This is hard to problem solve without seeing your setup...sounds like it could be something to do with you Null animation and perhaps the location or anchor point of that null. My best suggestion would be to start from scratch and create a new null to drive your animation. Make sure you change the location of your null to the anchor point of your Right object because if it is located at your left object you will have problems. Let me know if you come right!
