- [Instructor] In this movie,
we'll animate the background element of the logo
in a staggering style, one after the other,
with some mild overlapping effect.
So I'll start by importing the main logo.
I'm going to double click on this gray portion
of the project panel.
Then I'm going to locate the Prigat.ai document,
and I'm going to click on the Open button.
As always, we want to import it as a composition,
and for the footage dimensions,
make sure to select the layer size option.
I'm going to click OK, and then I'm going to double click
in order to open the logo with all of its elements.
And I'm going to go to the composition settings
and verify that indeed we have a five seconds duration,
but this time, I'm going to change the frame rate to 24.
And the reason for it is this short animation
should be also played in movie theaters,
so we'll adapt to the film standard.
Alright, I'm going to click OK over here.
And for now, I'm going to delete the first layer,
which is the credit for Open Design House
that made this logo.
So thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Alright, I'm also going to open up this source files folder,
and I'm going to drag the Prigat layers over here
as well as take this chalkboard.png layer
and drag and drop it on top of the Prigat comp
that we've just created.
Now while this logo is still selected,
I'm going to go to the layer menu,
and from the arrange command,
I'm going to send it to the back.
There is also a keyboard shortcut for it,
so if you like, you can use Command + Shift
and the open brackets.
This will be CTRL + Shift and the open brackets on the PC.
Anyhow, now we have everything that we need.
For the moment, I'm going to lock the background over here.
We're going to return and deal with it in a later stage.
I'm also going to select couple of layers
and change their label,
so we'll know exactly what we are dealing with.
And those will be the outline layer
all the way until the leaf layer.
So those are the layers that we are going to animate
in this movie.
And just so it will be easy to identify it,
I'm going to click over here,
and let's change it to sea foam, for example.
I'm going to press F2 in order to deselect,
and I'm also going to switch off the visibility for the logo
as well as for the tagline.
So these are the elements that we want to animate.
Before I'm going to animate,
I'm going to set the anchor point
for each one of the layers.
This will help us to create the desired animation.
So I'm going to start with the outline layer over here,
and then I'm going to switch tools to the pan behind tool.
Then I'm going to start to drag,
and I'm going to add the Command key, CTRL on PC,
in order to snap it to the bottom of this area.
Now I'm going to select fruit in,
and this one wants to be over here.
I'm going to select fruit out.
This is this green bubble.
And I'm going to drag this anchor point to this point.
And you can also hold down the Command or CTRL key
if you want to align it exactly to this point.
And this one wants to be over here,
so once again, holding down the Command or CTRL
will help you to snap it exactly to this point.
And the last one is lift number one,
so once again I'm going to start to drag this,
hold down Command, CTRL on the PC,
and snap it to the lower bottom of this layer.
Now we're ready to start animation.
I'm going to select this layer, fruit in,
and I'm going to press S in order to see the scale options.
We're going to create some basic overshooting animation.
And the first keyframe will be in the beginning
with a value of zero.
Then I'm going to move forward six frames.
So I'm going to press on the PgDn key six times.
Or you can, of course, just dial in this value
or just drag the current time indicator, whatever works.
In this case, I'm going to set it to 130%,
and then I'm going to move two frames ahead.
So, twice on the PgDn key,
and then I'm going to set it to 90%.
And then I'm going to move forward additional two frames
to 10 frames, and I'm going to return it to 100%.
Then I'm going to select the word Scale
and press F9 on the keyboard
in order to create an easy ease animation.
Going back to the beginning by pressing on the Home key
on the keyboard and pressing Space Bar
will show us what we've created.
Now we want to copy and paste those keyframes
to all the other layers.
So let's return to the selection tool.
The keyframes are already selected in my case,
so I can just press Command + C, CTRL + C on the PC,
in order to copy them.
And then I'm going to go to the beginning,
and then I'm going to hold and click on this label
and select all the layers in this label group,
and then I'm going to press Command + V here on the Mac,
CTRL + V on the PC, in order to paste
the same keyframe information.
Now if I'm going to press Space Bar,
we can see that everything is working together.
Now we want to create some sort of staggering animation.
So I'm going to press U twice.
The first time is going to collapse the keyframes,
and then it's going to show us everything.
And then I'm going to scroll down,
press F2 in order to deselect,
and then I'm going to drag the fruit out layer,
so it will be just on top of the second keyframe
of the fruit in layer.
Then let's just scroll up and do the same
for the other layers here.
So leaf number two, I'm going to drag it
and make sure it is aligned
to the second keyframe over here.
And After Effects should snap it automatically.
But if this is not the case, you can just take
the play head, place it over here, and then hold down Shift,
and this will snap the layer to the appropriate place.
Now, as for the outline layer,
which is this white background that we are seeing over here,
I'm going to stretch those keyframes
so they will start at the beginning and end over here.
And the way to do it is to select all those keyframes.
And in case, I'm just going to marquee around them,
hold down the Option key on the Mac, Alt on the PC,
and drag the last keyframe over here.
And this will stretch the animation
and keep the relationship
between all the other keyframes intact.
Now if I'm going to go to the beginning and press Space Bar,
we can see that we have the animation that we need.
So this is at least one way to create
an overlapping, staggering animation
by changing first the anchor point
and then using scale to simulate and overshoot effect.
