How I made my film opening animation (coursework)

To make my small animation I used adobe after effects CC and this did take a while to get to grips with but in this post I'll be showing you exactly how I managed to get my text animation completed.

Step 1)
First things first you want to open up the 'animation workspace' and then you want to create a new composition. After that your screen should look like this:

step 2)

Next you will need to create the piece of text you want to animate. You should then get a Text interface open up on the right

 

 

Step 3)

 

Now right-click on the text and select Animate text and then what ever type of animation you would like. In this instance I used position but you can choose what ever you like.

 

 

Step 4)

 

Now you want to click on the little clock located to the left of the type of the animation you are doing. But first position your text where you want the animation to start from. You should then get a little yellow diamond appear in your timeline. This is the point where the animation will start from. you can move it by clicking and dragging it along.

 

 

Step 5) Now finally move your timeline cursor to where you want the animation to finish at. Then go back to the animation controls and move them to what you want the animation to finish as. Again a small yellow diamond will appear and that will signal the end of the animation.

 

 

 

And there you have it! just export it and your done. maybe try adding some pictures or multiple

effects or some music to make it seem very professional.
