KEY POINTS:

Setup :
  • To import images : file --> import. This imports into 'project' panel, which is basically a storage area for all the images and compositions you are going to use to make the animations. 
  • 'Timeline' - like layers in photoshop
  • 'Composition' - like image in photoshop, what its going to look like when exported. 
  • To make a new document : composition --> new composition 
  • Setup :
    • NTSC - American video standards
    • PAL - European & UK video standards
  • For brief setup :
    • HDTV 1080 25
    • 0 (hrs) : 00 (mins) : 30 (secs) : 00 (frames)
Animating still images :
  • To make layer : layer --> new 
  • Arrange composition before making time variables. 
  • Playback - as the animation increases in complication, it will not playback in realtime (in order to check look at the info. fps 25 = realtime)
  • To amend this adjust the resolution of the image or select particular areas using the grey bar. 
  • Layer properties : 
    • Click on stopwatch - where you want transformation to start, move band and then click on diamond where you want it to end. 
  • Lines of motion act that vectors in illustrator, use pen tool to adjust them.
