When we show our work or customers work, hopefully, we want it to look very, well lit, you want to stand out. Cropping is a good way to highlight the potential of art, but when we want to do with this site, we have some tools to choose from. I just created a display, that is a beautiful tile work. Looks good, works great tiles, great pictures, but needed a little 'of something. I understand that the definition of design, execution, may actually help create it apart from highlighted items.
How could the screen frame chip? What's better than the tile itself ... with an alpha channel support some of Photoshop and the mixed layer in After Effects this should be a fairly easy task. I thought the two presentations, either the presentation of the company's products or just a family album that show very well with this technique, which is definitely worth sharing.
Choose the image you want to be your limit. It will help build the slide show in After Effects first to have a simple "before and after 'contrast to assess your limit. Note size of the composition, as will determine the size of the border you want to create in Photoshop.
Open the image you have chosen your line in Photoshop. In my case, I decided to add the line that I wanted to make the edge of the frame. You can do the same pattern or texture that overlap in Photoshop to create four times up, down, left and right limits the bandwidth, but you could also choose the format that will be the '"alpha" out of the center so that it comes from outside of the frame.
In both cases, when you built your border in Photoshop, create an alpha channel to remove the central part of the images that we will use this as a finished image in After Effects. A simple way to create alpha, using the share is to copy the image layer, scale it down to 90% using the Free Transform tool:. Typing "Ctrl + T" and then enter 90% of the width and height (just below the toolbar) Use this "inside the left image to create the owner of Alpha, the image you want to show through.
Highlight this small part of the image to select reverse. When you create a new channel in Photoshop to create a section of the channel, which is not selected, invert the selection, which is your body. Now the channels tab, click Save Selection as a channel, the second icon from the left channel tab, "Save selection as channel". If you click the eye next to the new channel is the top event of default red to show the region that has been added to this new alpha channel. This is the part that is not visible in the saved file.
Save the selection as a targa file type "TGA", then import the file back into After Effects. Place this new file as the top layer of the composition and see your newly created connection with the underlying layer shows through.
These simple steps to create an alpha transparent area and in this case, create the desired image with a transparent area on the screen. When you import this file into After Effects, placing as the top layer of the entire composition shown below, except in the lower layers will appear in the center, the area of alpha.
This same technique can be used in many applications, mixing images and video with a creative way.

Adobe After Effects CS5 - Guide to Slip Editing
After Effects provides several tools to edit layers and editing layer of time presence is one of the most useful. When we see a typical ad, or even a sequence of film, we see that the overall message is always composed of parts, incomplete parts, which nevertheless add their special part of the message. After Effects provides several tools to modify the window of time in each layer. A very flexible and accommodating is "drop the issue."
When you mix the various resources of your composition, especially different videos, you typically use only parts of them. Exactly how to mix them together, the timing that allows them to work together and editing process that helps you make these decisions, working together to make your compositing the final product that you want it to be.
Generally, when you select the resources you want, choose when you want the "fine tuning" process can be longer. You want your transition to work, you want them to be trouble and you just want good portions of different approaches to make the right contribution to the overall product. This is where the drop editing can be a very valuable tool.
The value of the coupon easy installation offers a choice of two or three videos on the composition, reducing overall time interval and take them to your "best guess" how to work together. When you hover your mouse at the beginning and end of each level, you'll see two arrows to show you can adjust the settings. Please note when you set the start and / or the floor at the end of the bar is now gray area shows that part of the duration of the video is no longer used.
Screen very useful when working with these changes is the same-time information available on the left side of the timeline. Resources under his bed are three icons that displays the information changes: overlapping rectangles to see the change information layer, a circle / square icon control information transfer switch, and a set of devices that display information time for each layer.
This time information is divided into 'In, Out, Time Stretch' time. While most of us do manual changes of our resources," seeing "the changes we make, it is useful to know the exact time, we create our visual adjustments. All events of the layer to maintain synchronization of the total composition in a predetermined time window to use this information accurate.
When you make changes go, this time the information is not changed. This is a useful reminder of what a fitting place. Since After Effects has the double arrow icon when you hover over the start and end of a sequence layer when your have reduced this time, and hover in the gray, you will see these double-headed arrow with two vertical bars at each end. This tells you that you are in edit mode fall.
Note that when you push your time adjustment layers from front to back, your in, out, and the length does not change. You are not changing any of these values. What you are about to change just that part of the cut layers will be displayed.
Imagine that you have completed the exact time a window, which operates in this layer. You know exactly where they should appear (and disappear) in relation to other levels. You also know how long it can be. Slip editing, you can optimize your content and what part will appear in this time window. Having this extra degree of control will help to develop a little 'more, you get to focus on time-sensitive content of each layer.

Adobe After Effects CS5 - Guide To Keyframe Assistant Sequence Layers
After Effects is loaded with assistants and keying is at the heart of motion graphics and animation. A favorite assistant is available under the animation menu, 'keyframe assistant'. There are several options here but one that practically creates an animation for you with only a few steps is the 'sequence layers' option. This assistant does pretty much what is sounds like, it creates keys and transition for the layers you select. Whether a slide show or part of a presentation with a few timed sequences, this a tool you will want to keep nearby.
To get started, choose the images you want to sequence, ideally they are the same size but this is not a requirement. To create your composition, simply drag one of these images from your project panel onto the composition symbol at the bottom of the project panel. This is a quick and easy way to create a comp based on the resource properties. If this was a high definition video, the comp properties would match the video.
In this case we will simply create a composition with my default frame rate of 29.7 and the size of the image used to create the comp. Now drag the remainder of the images into the composition and they will all occupy the complete time window. It should default to the time of the previous composition since a single image does not have a length of time.
When you click on the first image, first layer then hold the shift key while you click on the last, this will choose all the layers at once. You can take this same action by entering 'Ctrl A'. With all layers highlightighted, drag their timeline setting back to the number of frames you want each to appear in this presentation.
Now its time for the assistant. Highlight all your layers, then under the 'Animation' menu, choose 'Animation->Keyframe Assistant->Sequence Layers'. This will open the pop out menu for sequencing with three options: overlap, duration, and transition. The sequence layer assistant is going to sequence your layers based on these three simple options.
If you think about a typical presentation slideshow, the images fade into fade into one another, they 'dissolve' as one releases the stage to the next. Typically they overlap just a bit with a brief moment of both sharing the stage but with decreased opacity so they really are sharing. These three options are just that.
When you click on the overlap checkbox the duration and transition options appear. You choose your duration which will typically be a product of a bit of experimentation. In my simple slideshow, showing some of my artists works, I've set each image to appear for two seconds with an overlap of four frames. When you choose overlap and set your duration you have three options for your transition: none, cross dissolve front layer, cross dissolve front and back layers.
Choosing the dissolve transition options simply tell After Effects to add an opacity fade over the duration window you specify. You can choose none but we usually like to see a fading transition letting our images or video 'share' and hand off the moment as the next takes center stage.
What is a bit funny about describing this assistant is, it really does take longer to describe it than to apply it. Try it out! Choose all your layers, choose the sequence layer assistant, check to overlap, then set duration, and type of transition. An extra benefit about it being so easy is that it is also easy to experiment, trying different durations to get just the overall time and effect you are seeking.

Adobe After Effects CS5 - Having Timeline 'Helpers'
Once you have selected the content of your video After Effects, it is easy to modify the different layers, their time time, add effects, and of course, their relationships to each other edition. This "fine tuning" stage may be the most important and for many of us may be longer. Fortunately, After Effects includes several useful tools here, and a tool of choice, is simply the "slip editing'. Slip editing we can change the start and end in the different layers when editing their presence in your video. After Effects timeline also provides many "assistants" to help with the editing process.
To introduce and experiment with editing or sliding, to select three or four videos you want to merge into a single composition. Place them in different time intervals and using the time setting changes each time is used less than the full video. By placing the mouse on the start or end of a layer, is the "double arrow" indicating that you can slide the time editing the layer of the part of the video is shown first (or last).
If you do not see the double arrows at the end of the video layer, but can extend beyond the time window of its composition. Look at the small bar at the bottom right of the timeline. He has two small icons pyramid on each side. This slider and pyramids allow you to expand (and outside) in parts of your timeline.
This can be useful when you are putting in place, perhaps only a fraction of a second, but also hides the details of the timeline. All the tools, I think we all have experienced some frustration in After Effects, when we follow the directions, but just does not seem right. So ... The two cases do not see the arrow of time to change layers, make sure you are at the beginning or end, be sure to time slider is not always to the left, so exposed to all the timelines, and finally, the layer is viewing may actually be longer than the same composition.
If you've tried everything and still can not see two arrows at the end of your floor, push it inward. Use the mouse to move the entire layer in the Timeline to the end, then when you move the mouse at the end of a piano bar, you'll see two arrows, as well as reducing the end of this video.

Adobe After Effects CS5 - New Roto Brush Tool
One of the additions to After Effects CS5 is their Roto Brush. This tool can be considered their quick shortcut to the tedious process of rotoscoping. How many times you want to extract something or someone in our video, mixing images from various videos. The Roto Brush provides a fast with very impressive results to achieve this goal!
After Effects CS5 includes Mocha, which is a far more ambitious follow-up, but the basic cuts and isolation of specific regulation of the objects that you will like the Roto Brush tool. Select the video, which is a good candidate for you. Choose something that you want to isolate the object of this exercise, and we will do something, something to distinguish it from the rest of the video processing. You can change the colors or apply a color effect, changing the tone, but choose something that is easy to work and influence, which is easy to distinguish.
There are many ways you can put Roto Brush tool to work for you, but we want this operation to show how it works in order to better understand the possibilities. Once the composition has created a short video, one of the comfortable isolation of the candidate, to copy the video, so you can apply this new effect of a single copy. Think of this as the effect of the mask, a smarter mobile, depending on the area selected mask.
Double-click to bring your copy in the window layer, which is where you apply the brush effect. Looking at your Tools menu in the right side, just left of the Puppet Pin tool, you will see the Roto Brush. It is easy to use and you basically just paint the inside of the object you want to isolate. In my case, I wear a black hat, I will paint the inside of the hat to "choose" it.
As you begin to apply with a brush, you will notice that the mouse pointer diagonally to adjust its size by making the brush size to large and small by choosing your destination. When choosing your theme, highlighted with a pink color scheme that shows what will be included. Like many other similar tools, ie the ratio of pixels used to make your choice, you can expand and improve its selection. If you have a domain you want to delete the selection, hold down the "alt" will move to a "subtractive" mode which allows you to highlight what you want to delete.
Once you are satisfied with the outline of your brush in the mask, the opinion of the "freeze" on the calendar in the layers panel. This will capture the selection. Also note the number of images selected in the timeline. You can drag this selection to the right or left to increase the presence of time your mask.
With the tent and the time you want to go back to your compose window and apply our selection to illustrate how something can be treated just the part that you have captured with your exercise Roto Brush. Remember that began with a copy of our original video and one for the application of this effect. In my case, I have isolated my black hat, and return in the composition, the effect applied to fill the "effects produce" turn the red hat. Applied to fill, now my black hat turned red with the length of time window was frozen "in the layers panel. Make sure the layer is applied and a Roto brush to apply this effect to Again, it is at the top of the copied layer. You want this to stand out. does not apply to the area selected for its Roto-brush, but appears only if the above the double layer.
Like all effects, which require more than understanding the impact Roto definitely requires some practice. By selecting "the most likely candidate" with a beautiful color and light is easy to distinguish the definition of the model will be of great help. In practice, this is a small tool, the new CS5 can go a long way to the flexibility of mixing and, in particular by applying a special treatment in some parts of the video.

Adobe After Effects CS5 - How To Edit Layers
After Effects CS5 provides several tools for editing layers, a number of shortcuts, and features made for popular uses. Animated series for all levels and the tools to help you with this can be a considerable saving of time and helps to hone your presentation, at the same time.
You'll almost always trim the layers blending to create a "big picture" and the message you're doing. There are several ways to cut the layers within the composition or the movie of a special editor where you can focus on a resource for editing.
Within a composition, select the layer you want to cut, to choose the moment within the timeline of the mixture occurs, the mouse, hover over the start or end of the level to be shortened. You can see the arrow icon to show the other party must be cut / edit mode versus simply moving this layer. You want to do both things in different contexts, but simply moving sheet repositioning in relation to other resources, you have a layer of composition. You almost always want to do it, feeling a bit 'and make the test screens with the "mixed layer" to decide how to use them together, just the right time to be first in line at one time and for how long.
These decisions are important and are often simply the difference of a few seconds of animation, but in a short video, a few seconds ... a long time. Move the layer changes its position, but once you feel comfortable with their sequence in time to change, you can shorten your coat, by editing the start time, end time, or both.
If you want the layer to edit their own films, double-click the resource in the project area. This will open the resource, a video, for example, the video editor. Here you can focus on this unique resource, but again, After Effects offers two useful editions called an "overlay edit" and "ola change."
The concept is pretty simple. In the editor records you look at your resources, the time window may change, and then select an editing overlay. This will add this resource as a new layer where your flag is now set on your composition. It will "overlay" is the top layer and "covering" any underlying layer, which sometimes overlap. If you do this, but "Change ripple" Selecting it will add this new resource as a new layer will be added as top layer, but with publishing training, in all strata occupy a "space" at the same time will be cut. Your new resource will be inserted between the two, so that none of the existing layers are stacked or attached to. With a Ripple editing, layers separated, the new resource held, so the composition continues with the same action as before.
The testing of these different techniques is simple and shows a clear difference. Different situations require that both approaches, so having used these tools, the choice is yours

Adobe After Effects CS5 - How To Trim Layers
After Effects provides tools to modify layers. Trimming layers might be important, because the truth, because we are mixing a variety of resources into the whole statement that rarely use any resources without trimming a little '. This can be a part of "the nature of the Web" in our opinion, but a mixture of pictures and outtakes of resources allows us to be creative in how the mix of our message.
If the message is an advertisement or a catchy website video just the right pieces, and just the right time can be the most important part of its character. When you start working with layers, to decide how they blend together and which parts you need, you should see the windows of "In / Out / Duration 'to see the time values of its own layer. This option video is available at the bottom left of the timeline, showing braces against "{}".
You can also change the timeline pane, right-click on the column heading and choose what it seems. The shear layer is very simple. When you move the mouse to the beginning or the end of the floor, a white pointer arrow changes to two arrows pointing opposite'<->' this cut. Simply click on the layer and move the beginning or the end is visually adjust the tempo. Please note that you must manually decorate your coat ", in, out, the duration of" values change accordingly. This mixture of visual changes with the exact timing of the information is useful in a combination of design.
These timing information will be useful, but there is a piece that can be misleading. If you adjust the length of a numeric display, you're forcing you to layer a new length of time, significantly speed up or slow down the playback speed. Way to adjust the length of the plan is to cut it. Also note that you can move the layers in the timeline in relation to other levels. Here you can not change his overall time of the game, but if it is determined in relation to other parts of the presentation.
Often you want to process the same layer in different ways. You can adjust the color of the former, but not late. It is easy to copy and paste a layer, then use cut to adjust the length. Even easier, After Effects has an option "layer of division" in the Edit menu. Here it suffices to place the clock you want to separate the layer and select "Edit Layer-Split", After Effects will create the layer split second in which they put the time indicator.
You can find all these shortcuts and commands for the positioning of the cut, and when you first start using this combination of tools and information that you will spend less time in the toolbox, and more time on your designs.

Even easier, After Effects has an option "layer of division" in the Edit menu. Here it suffices to place the clock you want to separate the layer and select "Edit Layer-Split", After Effects will create the layer split second in which they put the time indicator.
You can find all these shortcuts and commands for the positioning of the cut, and when you first start using this combination of tools and information that you will spend less time in the toolbox, and more time on your designs.
