If you want to create an animation that changes over time, it’s imperative to know the length of your clip so you can make subtle changes. This particular clip is two seconds in length, shot at 25fps, so if I want flames throughout the entire clip, I will need to draw these same flames 50 times. Now it’s as simple as drawing the same flames for each frame. Using the Brush tool directly on the Layer panel, I’ll draw my flames on the first frame. To start my scribble animation, I’ll bring my playhead to the first frame of my clip in the timeline. With both my workspace and brush ready, it’s time to scribble.
For this reason, I’ll change the duration to “Single Frame.” If I want something a bit more subdued or clunky, I can change the Duration to “Custom” and then manually type in whatever frame rate I want. Since this is a fast-moving clip, I want my flames to animate as quickly and frenetically as possible. The duration section of your Paint panel is one of the most important properties.
You can even save your brush settings for future use. Clicking on the diameter button will bring you directly to the Brushes panel, where you can specify the diameter, angle, roundness, hardness, and spacing of your brush. The Paint panel allows you to change the opacity, flow, color, diameter, blend mode, channels, and duration. Next, I’ll set up my brush.Īs soon as you select the Brush tool, both the Paint and Brushes panels will become visible. To open up my clip in the Layer panel, I’ll simply double-click the layer. The brush tool only works on the Layer panel - you can’t paint directly on the Composition panel. I’ll add the flames using the Brush tool, which you can find in the Tools panel or by using the Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (PC) + B keyboard shortcut. For this tutorial, I’m going to add some cartoonish flames that will come off the back of a race car. Let’s take a closer look at how, in just a few simple steps, you can add eye-catching graphics to your videos.įirst, I need to set up my workspace. You’ve seen this effect in a lot of popular music videos over the last few years, including videos by Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars. The animated scribble technique is a perfect example of an easy way to create dynamic, handmade graphic elements. Many people think animating frame by frame is tedious and time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be.
So you think frame-by-frame animation is just too tedious for your film or video project? In this tutorial, we invite you to think again.
