Animate Trim Paths in After Results
Adobe After Results Trim Paths: What are They?
Earlier than we begin, let’s take a fast take a look at what After Results trim paths are. In form layers, or layers which have been transformed to a form (like textual content or illustrations) you’ll be able to add trim paths. These will allow you to outline the ‘begin’ and ‘finish’ level for which you’ll be able to then set animation.
“If the Trim Paths path operation is beneath a number of paths in a bunch, then you’ll be able to select to have the paths trimmed concurrently or handled as a compound path and trimmed individually.” – Adobe
Add a Trim Path in After Results
As talked about, any Form layer may have this feature, so on the layer, click on Add and from the come out menu, select Trim Paths.
The trim path will seem on the backside of your form layer stack and so will affect every thing that is above it. Tlisted below are two most important properties with regards to trim paths, the beginning and the tip.
Setting a Keyframe
If we roll again the tip – circled above – you’ll be able to see how the form will animate.
The beginning level of the animation is nothing on display. We will hit the little stopwatch to set a keyframe at that stage.
A keyframe is the factor that signifies the beginning and finish factors for motion in animation.
From earlier classes within the course we all know that we’re hitting our animation actions to the beat of the music, so for this we wish a few second and a half, so we will transfer alongside the timeline to that time after which go forward and set a second keyframe for the tip level.
You’ll be able to see I’ve then dragged the tip level as much as 100%.
