On this tutorial we’ll discover ways to freeze a body in After Results. We’ll be utilizing a inventory video footage of a motocross racer flying mid air to clarify obtain this freeze body impact. Nonetheless be happy to check out these methods by yourself footage or inventory movies if you happen to like!
So the very first thing we will do is decide the precise time location of whenever you want to create the freeze body impact. So use the present time indicator to maneuver alongside the timeline till you get the situation you need.
As soon as you might be pleased with the time location and the way in which that it seems to be on display we will transfer on to the subsequent step.
Duplicate the footage (Management – D) after which flip off the visibility of the highest layer.
Drag the content material of the footage for the underside layer all the way in which to the start. There must be just one body of footage proven.
Proper click on the footage and go to Time > Freeze Body after which drag the footage content material again out once more. So now that we have frozen that body out, we’ll use the blue background on the total means by means of the video to behave as our background.
Unhide the highest layer and use the present time indicator to maneuver alongside the timeline till you get the situation you need once more. On this case it’s when the character is on the peak of his leap.
We need to cut up the video clip at this location (Management – Shift – D).
Be sure that the highest layer is chosen, then click on the footage and go to Time > Freeze Body to freeze the rest of the footage.
If you hit the play preview button, you will see that the footage will play up till your chosen freeze body.
Now resolve how lengthy you need the freeze body to be, by shifting ahead alongside the timeline. As soon as you have chosen the place you need the footage to proceed enjoying, we have to cut up the footage from that location once more (Management – Shift – D) (after which delete the additional footage).
Then we wish the footage to proceed occurring after that time. To do that we should duplicate the second layer and prolong the footage by one body.
Cut up the footage from the situation that the freeze body begins (Management – Shift – D).
After which delete the underside layer (quantity 2 within the picture above) so that you’re left with the remainder of the footage the place the video clip continues.
Drag the footage to the situation the place you need the freeze body to finish.
After which prolong the footage content material in order that it continues to play out of your chosen location.
So now once we hit the play preview button you will see that we now have a chunk of footage that performs to the chosen freeze body level. It can then pause for a couple of seconds earlier than persevering with to play by means of the remainder of the video.
Now transfer the present time indicator to the center of your freeze body.
Use the Pen Software (G) to attract across the character.
Go to the Results & Presets panel and seek for Drop Shadow. Apply it to the layer by clicking and dragging it on to the footage. We’ll use the next settings within the Impact Controls panel:
- Colour: 000000
- Opacity: 50%
- Path: 135°
- Distance: 17
- Softness: 0
Now choose the highest layer and press S on the keyboard to carry up the dimensions choices. Create 3 scale keyframes for the layer, one for the start, one within the center and one for the top.
Choose the center keyframe and scale it up. Then choose all of the keyframes and simple ease them.
This may create a easy scale animation for when the character is frozen in place, making it seem extra attention-grabbing!
Repeat the identical steps for the dimensions animation once more, however this time creating keyframes for the Drop Shadow (Distance).
Upon getting created the keyframes, improve the gap worth for the center keyframe to reinforce the animation. Keep in mind to simple ease the keyframes if you end up pleased with the timing.
Keep in mind to play again the animation to see if you’re pleased with the timing and make any changes to the keyframes if mandatory.
As soon as you might be pleased with the way in which that it seems to be, you may improve the animation even additional by including some further components behind the freeze body (simply above the background layer).
In order that’s create a freeze body animation in After Results. I hope you discovered this tutorial useful and that you’ve got discovered some new suggestions and methods that you need to use to your personal initiatives. See you subsequent time!
