Hey what's up video editors it's Premiere Gal here and in this video I'm sharing
with you a new and easy animation tool for Adobe After Effects.
It's called Squash and Stretch and it enables you to add quick and fast
animations to text, shapes, lower thirds, logos, and much more in just seconds.
You can get squash and stretch from aescripts.com. There's a free version which
comes with 10 behaviors and 91 sound effects. The pro version though comes
with 61 behaviors and 350 sound effects and with the pro version you can add on
additional behaviors and sounds later on. There is currently a cyber monday sale
going on so be sure to check out the link below. So let's go ahead and make a
logo bounce using Squash and Stretch. In After Effects I have a 1920 by 1080
composition and in that composition I have my Premiere Gal logo as one layer.
So first select the logo in your composition then go up to window and
select extensions and open up the squash and stretch panel I'm going to drag the
panel next to my project panel to make more space in my workspace. Now let's
click on select a behavior and this will launch the squash and stretch gallery
where you can preview all the animated behaviors available. I like the dancing
drop so I will select that behavior. Before you hit apply you can adjust the
Squash & Stretch intensity which controls how deformed the side-to-side
movement of the animation is and the Oomph which controls the height and the
velocity of the animation. So I'm going to reduce the oomph to 50% and reduce the
Squash & Stretch to roughly 80% then I'll move my current time indicator in
the comp to the point at which I want the behavior to end and then I'll hit
apply. Make sure that the layer is selected before you press apply or you
will get this warning and then in just seconds you will see that Squash
& Stretch automatically applied a series of keyframes to my logo to make
it drop in and dance so I think it looks really good but let's add some sound.
Squash & Stretch is one of the few plugins that I know of that comes
preloaded with sound that matches the animation perfectly I think that this is
one of my favorite features about Squash & Stretch. So let's just go ahead and
hit Cmmd+Z (keys on MAC) to undo the application of this effect and then let's go ahead and
select a sound from the drop-down which is tailored to this animation so you can
preview a sound simply by selecting it from the drop-down and then you can let
the squash and stretch preview it for you
I like the heavy sound so I'm gonna hit apply. If you want you can also flip the
behaviors horizontally or vertically or even rotate the animation so if you
wanted the logo to bounce from the right to the left I would just hit that rotate
button and reapply. Since I'm happy with the current orientation let's go ahead
and move on to select a new out animation simply by selecting on the
behavior tree icon to launch open a side panel this is another way to search for
behaviors I like the slide-out behavior so I'm going to select that again you
can adjust the squash and stretch and the oomph.
I'll select the Rubber 2 sound and now rather than selecting the current time
indicator at the endpoint of the animation you're going to select the
start point of the behavior and then hit apply. Now I'm just going to render the
preview and let's watch it back. Pretty cool, right? And something like this would
have taken hours to create now you can do it in seconds and so that's it there
are so many different permutations to play with in this plugin so I encourage
you to check out Squash & Stretch and begin having some animation fun! Remember
