    This can be done all in 1 layer if you copy paste the path of the square into the triangle keyframe area. Then you only need to tweak the mid-morph shape to your liking.

  • @TheAudioJourney

    Really excited by this tutorial, but I got stuck immediately when setting up the first four keyframes. Instead of the triangle slowly moving to the left and then dashing over to the right, my triangle slowly moves left, but then slowly moves right a bit before dashing to the right which looks rubbish. No idea what's going wrong but it looks different to your screen and that stopped me in my tracks. Any help would be much appreciated!

      @pogostar1878 3 роки тому +1

      Update: Figured it out, you want to right click on the 2nd and 3rd keyframes, choose "Keyframe Interpolation", and then in the menu that comes up change the Spatial Interpolation to "Linear" (for me it was previously Auto-Bezier, which generates curves to smooth out the keyframes you set, which causes that extra slow movement before and after)

  • @chingsdiary5360
    @chingsdiary5360 3 роки тому +11

    Here's what I learnt from this tutorial:
    right click on position can seperate the dimension ( and there are other functions hidden there )
    using search bar in comp is a good way to find the function you need and reduce a lot of time clicking each sub-functions
    the easiest transformation is to move super fast between two shapes, so fast that our eyes cant follow
    right click on something not editable and converting it to bezier path so you can set key frames on it.
    I was stuck on not able to edit the shapes created by shape tool for a long time.

    Hi Bro! Thank you for the tutorial! Though I am having some issue with the shape layer. When I convert the shape layer to bezier path and add keyframes to change the shape, when I preview it, the in between animation doesn't morph, the shape layer becomes small and disappear and will only appear on the next keyframe.

    • @BenMarriott
      @BenMarriott  5 років тому

      Oh that's bizarre. A few people have had the same thing happen. If the paths are changing through the center, like they're flipping from one keyframe to another that might happen. if you drag the keyframes really far apart you might be able to see better what's happening in between. Does it still behave like that when the animation between them is really subtle?

      I tend to work in styles that have clean edges in their design and having motion blur means that the design language is broken for many of the frames where an object is in motion. For VFX or 3D work, it's great. I really like to use smears instead of motion blur :)

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    under tears of joy i received this holy truth, it took me awhile to collect myself. By The holy Spirit given through
    you into my heart ! God bless you and that mother who born you, you are among those most special brothers whom i every day have in my prayers !
    i exist because of jesus and not because of my parents,fight abortion in jesus name ! I knew you even before you were conceived.
    Jeremiah 1:4-5
    I cant wait to see all my brothers and sisters in heaven. Stay strong, and hold on to the hope that Jesus gives us. It wont be long, look up and know He is on His way.keep up the good fight fate and win as many as you can,Proverbs 11:30 and sometimes drop your sword to look up to the Father with a smile.1 Timothy 6:12 , 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22
    For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb
    Psalm 139:13,Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.139:16
    Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:4-5
    Who can understand his errors?
    Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;Let them not have dominion over me.
    Then I shall be blameless,And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
    Psalm 19:12-13
    ........................................................................................................................................
    SAY THE MIRACLE Repentance PRAYER daily and it will change your life! Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you now and humbly ask for your forgiveness. LORD, I confess that I'm a sinner and I've broken your Holy Law. I realize that the penalty for sin is death. I believe that JESUS CHRIST suffered and died on the Cross to take the punishment for ALL of my sins. I believe JESUS rose from the dead and I accept Him as my personal Savior. From this moment forward I give you my heart and trust you to be the LORD of my life. Please forgive ALL of my sins and send your Spirit to help me do your will. I Love You, Lord Jesus. I Praise You, Jesus. I Thank You, Jesus. I shall follow you every day of my life.
    I thank you for your great love and accept your gift of eternal life, and I pray these things in JESUS name, Amen . Say this prayer faithfully, no matter what you feel, when you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word, with all your heart, something good spiritually will happen to you. You will experience Jesus, and HE will change your whole life in a very special way. You will see. A single saint fights back, and a thousand demons cry in agony. And you are that saint.
    Jesus Will Never Leave Nor Forsake You
    ''Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” Ps 37:3-5
    Jesus Christ came into this world to reach those who feel that nobody cares. The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in Him. The Lord Jesus Christ does care and He is reaching the lonely and the desperate, the confused and the hurt, the depressed and the disillusioned. Jesus Christ is reaching out to you.
    “But God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom 5:8
    As we turn away from our sin and turn to Christ we find forgiveness and freedom.
    Jesus Christ is a Friend to the friendless.
    He is a Helper to the helpless.
    He gives freedom to the addicts.
    He loves the unloved.

    great tutorial but I'm experiencing a problem. whenever I use the pen tool to distort the path it causes the shape to shrink. So the triangle will Strat off at the set size but as it distorts and morphs into the square, the size between get smaller so the morph looks wrong... Can u help with that?

    1. Use Ai to create two shapes
    2. Use blend tool to create the inbetweens
    3. Expand the shapes
    4. seperate each shapes into different layers, rename them sequentially
    5. import the Ai file into AE as a comp

    At 4:32, I converted the path of triangle to bezier path. Can you please enlighten me on why my triangle actually shrinks from 01:11 to 01:14 (timing in your ae file) when I adjust the vertex for the keyframe at 01:14? I have checked your project file and realised that the triangle is not supposed to shrink but I can't seem to figure out where I went wrong in my project.

    I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what... my triangle goes super small and then big again just before switching to the square!? And then the same happens to the square, it goes small and then big again before stopping. I started the whole thing from scratch and the same happened again 😭

    Hey Ben! thanks for the Tutorial, i know you mentioned that this method is more versatile, but have you tried copying the shape Path keyframe from the square and pasting it after the triangle path keyframe , then from the Mask and shape path menu use the "set first vertex" for smoother transitions.

    • @BenMarriott
      @BenMarriott  5 років тому +1

      Thank so much! That's another great method, sometimes it creates some funky inbetween poses, but if the shapes are similar enough it can work great

    had to laugh when you said Gaussian which I heard as "Gash - An" :D
    I laughed and said "heh he doesn't know how to pronounce Gaussian (Gauze-Ian)" and told my mates/colleagues sitting by me. They all laughed and said well that's not how you say it either and then everyone in the studio argued!
    Finally googled it and it seems not one of us knew the right way - but this youtube video does! ua-cam.com/video/1QOvGxtvDag/v-deo.html
