this is Evan Abrams and let's talk about cutting copying and pasting key
frames it's important to talk about this because i've really noticed that a lot of
people aren't doing it well or correctly or there's a lot of confusion about
how key frames are cut copied and pasted or
what's actually happening when you're cutting copying and pasting key frames
and
etcetera etcetera
and i know it's confusing and so we believe in can't find where the key
friends of bill but
i'm gonna try to walk you through some easy tess for better saving a few time
with the old copy and paste
just like when you're writing essays for school copying and pasting is probably
the most useful tool that you'll ever use
so just looking here
essentially right now
however created one set of motion and i a copy and pasted it everytime uses so
this is one two three four five six things all animated using one thing so
divide the amount of time would have wasted ke framing all of them by six and
you've got time savings in fact during this whole intro here took me a boat
aussie eight minutes
public maybe less than eight minutes you know i'm pretty good stuff all-in
cutting copying and pasting is gonna save your life time
let's get into how that goes and exactly what kind of information you're using
when you do this stuff so
doesn't make a new car star over fresh
okay we're going to a new asalu do whatever
no new
text layer
countless typos patty c abram
which is my twitter handle so the air force to stare at that
over the whole time
right now were legal look at the composition and timeline of panels so
we're just looking at these everything else is superfluous allister just keep
it all
focused here on this one thing
um...
and organic animate only a couple of properties sources and a month from us
and make this ghayal
uh... what's out there at the rotation
them again and maybe a passerby is well just because we need to examples
list of the addressee down zero for the start of the rotation that ninety
and uh... let's start the scale down the zero as well
uh... click the stopwatch here and
let me back up a little look at the layers and look we're right here at this
caro that's pointing
the layer
when you click on that it's going up open up and it's gonna show us
everything inside that this is called tora lcl down sony thomas h world alan
please click on the sparrow go from pointing
to the
writes
twirl down into this and then twirl down
into other things will get you deeper into stuff it's basically saying within
this layer are these two things
within those things are more things and then you get into these which are the
property is
and you can short cut to them behaving like ass for scale where you can hit you
and bring that everything is key frames to get you you can bring up everything
that you've changed
uh... but that's how you access this stuff
sort of accesskey frames
chauncey although just hate you
you know you're looking for help into the letter
uh... scales s protections are opacity is ta for some reason
will pass it to you
but that's the axis yuki frames
to move ahead i'm gonna set some
uh... by altering the delaware
two hundred maybe
uh... set the rotation zero
analysts at capacity to hundred
so we had a move then
the speeches
not stopover week interesting
in any way shape or form but you know we're working on it
so i take these ahead at nine too
to make them eazy-e_ used um... if you're familiar with my love of the
motion uh... graph here
then uh...
we're gonna get old fancy
uh... disco alter the motion of these you will see a radical tutorial
uh... boat how to use this effectively than that
that i highly recommend you check-in that corals for my interpreted expect
these bit sharper the
that's slightly more interesting
lukic harassment affect the tanker point missus totally superfluous the torah
okay
so
we have these here he frames
and let's say we make the new layer
it could be anything it could be
tweet need
start something stupid like this as well
we want to applied
the same motion
to this title five
you know whatever we did to this thing too that thing
so we do that by cooking and right in the box around all of the key frames
that's one way to select the mitchell step one
selected he frames
you can click and drag a box uke and select this include the property hold
down shift click click
you know when they go from being gray to being yellow jump selected
uh...
and to when you select property it goes from the white grade to grade indicating
your selecting it
so you can select the wall
uh... i use command c
he can use controls cd if your honor the windows machine
uh... you can go edit copy that kind of thing cut film same functions as you
have another thing so
copy
and then select another layer and paste
notebook world world
or what happened to them it is clear
it disappeared and what's going on
whatever you copy and paste things
it's important to remember
i select all of these i've selected from here
to hear
and now i'm pasting and when it tastes
the first key frame it pace is going to be this one cc houses cash shifted over
like this
that's because
the earliest he framed goes here
and let them do that
okay let's say hypothetically
the are key frames are sort of moved
in in this sort of away so they're kinda staggered
right so
i don't know why you do that but it could create interesting motion for you
if i copy all of these when i go to this layer paste them
the earliest key frame goes patent play had which is where this red line is
and the rest of the laughter so it's taking this block and sticking the first
key frames here
the rest of them follow
so if i want to have this motion be exactly the same after make sure the
first key fram lines of the first keefe reminisce
which means for the play had at the beginning and then uh... you're all good
totally the same
good for us we go
so that's also not exactly what we wanted to do because we'd only need the
scale to go up
that much
went to a hundred or whatever color matter at this point
what most common mistakes
whiskey framing that i've seen
is that people
get confused when they're pasting or they don't know what their copying or
biggest begets be funneled in that fashion
so you know that's one thing to remember vote ke framing
stuffed and cutting pasting another thing assess what's
the opacity property right
tonight copy it and i pasted here
it's pasted opacity to hope at citi
that's good
but what if i select a rotation
and it taste were little
ait copied
from opacity
to the rotation so you can do that as well
if you want to take some data
and then move it somewhere else
um... you see when that's done is it's taking the rotation from zero
to hundred because the opacity he's value is zero to a hundred
so it's important to remember that what you're copying and pasting
is really just a bunch of numbers and you can put those wherever you want
um... when this quickly call up
you'll text edit here what happens if i just paste the similar text editor
aftereffects ki friend adder
use per second source with sorts heighth
uh... source pixel aspect ratio bud refreshments source
and the information is transformed scale the frame is eleven
la la la la la lela lela
that's a bit sells this
stuff
copy it
and then pasted
aftereffects somehow knows what this is an uncredited into stuff
this is showing uh... you're starting values
and then your end values so it starts on frame eleven zero zero zero
and then ends on friends thirty one
two hundred to hundred
almost two hundred
an estimate
so when you copy and paste this your trends posing that information into
something else
heroes that let's go but we're uh... if you don't mind
uh... what if we took a scale thing
and then i've pasted that into a pasti
lou
spare a dime
so anytime that you're going to take something
that is of a larger dimension
and the thing every scene into in getting errors
uh... that means
like we saw in the text edit file
it has zero zero zero
and then to under two hundred almost two hundred
tennis trying to cram at into something you know we have space for one of those
so it's gets confused it doesn't know what you want ever
um...
what if we took something that
has only the one song going from
zero two hundred
we copy that we pasted into the scale
almost same error going from one to three so it doesn't work
so
just remember
that when you copy and paste things
either
you if you want to take the same property and apply to the same property
dislike tulare dust by default and remember the play head is where it
starts at
uh... eleven abrams child thank you for watching this tutorial
uh... that is a boat uh... copying and pacing of key frames
uh... i hope that this
helps you won't have seen a lot of questions and comments sections
abode copying and pasting if he frames
uh... and a boat
how to copy and paste in general
um...
just remember copy and paste the same as you do in other acts
uh... pasting starts at the play head
and
no that's what it thinks washing subscribe like tell your friends
colour other stuff
let me know join alarm panel try to help you the best i can
uh... thanks for watching and uh... everyday
