After Effects induction- part 3

In today's lesson we learnt about more advanced keyframing techniques.

We discussed spatial interpolation, acceleration and deceleration.

Graph editor in After Effects you can use

Graph Editor options

In the video there is evidence of spatial interpolation, acceleration and deceleration.

We used some animation techniques under the Animation menu, called keyframe assistant.

As you can see the orange square eases into it speed and meets the other squares at the end, while the green square starts off at a decelerating rate before speeding up to meet the other squares at the end. The red square accelerates quickly unlike the other squares, this shows different effects that you can add to give a realistic illusion.

Ball Rolling Experiment from Munirat Plummer on Vimeo.
This ball rolling downhill experiment is without the vector graph from Illustrator.

Screenshot of how we transferred a vector path from Illustrator to After Effects and After Effects transforms it into a motion path. This is a very useful tool to be able to transfer work between these softwares.
