21
00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:47,001
To be honest I never use these.
22
00:00:47,001 --> 00:00:49,005
I rarely ever use the Welcome Screen.
23
00:00:49,005 --> 00:00:51,008
Most of the time I just
go ahead and deselect
24
00:00:51,008 --> 00:00:54,005
this option to show the
Welcome Screen at startup
25
00:00:54,005 --> 00:00:56,001
and I go ahead and close the panel
26
00:00:56,001 --> 00:00:58,004
and start working in After Effects.
27
00:00:58,004 --> 00:01:00,006
Now I know the first time
you launch After Effects
28
00:01:00,006 --> 00:01:03,005
the interface may seem a
little bit overwhelming
29
00:01:03,005 --> 00:01:06,000
but let me break it down
into some common terms
30
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,008
if you're familiar with some of the other
31
00:01:07,008 --> 00:01:10,001
Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
32
00:01:10,001 --> 00:01:11,008
I like to think of After Effects
33
00:01:11,008 --> 00:01:15,005
as a blend between
Photoshop and Premiere Pro.
34
00:01:15,005 --> 00:01:16,006
So to show you what I mean,
35
00:01:16,006 --> 00:01:18,006
if we look in the Project panel in the
36
00:01:18,006 --> 00:01:21,003
upper left hand corner this allows me
37
00:01:21,003 --> 00:01:23,008
to import any external files.
38
00:01:23,008 --> 00:01:26,000
Now this works in a similar
fashion to importing
39
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,007
footage inside of a Premiere Pro project.
40
00:01:28,007 --> 00:01:31,000
When you import a QuickTime file or
41
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
a layered graphic element into
your After Effects project,
42
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,004
After Effects doesn't actually embed
43
00:01:36,004 --> 00:01:38,003
that file in the project file,
44
00:01:38,003 --> 00:01:41,005
it's always going to be looking
externally for that file.
45
00:01:41,005 --> 00:01:43,003
So if you move that file anywhere else
46
00:01:43,003 --> 00:01:45,006
After Effects may lose the link.
47
00:01:45,006 --> 00:01:47,004
So it's really important
to just pay attention
48
00:01:47,004 --> 00:01:50,000
to how well your files are organized.
49
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
In the Project panel I've
organized things into folders.
50
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,008
You can easily create new folders
51
00:01:55,008 --> 00:01:57,002
just by coming to the bottom of the panel
52
00:01:57,002 --> 00:01:59,005
and creating a new folder.
53
00:01:59,005 --> 00:02:02,000
Inside my top 01 folder here I have
54
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,006
this thing called a Composition.
55
00:02:03,006 --> 00:02:05,004
If I click on it once in the top of
56
00:02:05,004 --> 00:02:07,000
my Project panel it will show me
57
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
the pixel resolution, the
duration of the composition
58
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,003
and the framerate.
59
00:02:11,003 --> 00:02:13,002
So when I double click the comp it
60
00:02:13,002 --> 00:02:15,008
opens up this timeline down here
61
00:02:15,008 --> 00:02:17,007
and my Composition panel.
62
00:02:17,007 --> 00:02:20,001
So my timeline on the right looks
63
00:02:20,001 --> 00:02:23,001
very much like a timeline
in a Premiere Pro project.
64
00:02:23,001 --> 00:02:25,000
This thing that looks like a guitar pick
65
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,009
is my current time indicator.
66
00:02:26,009 --> 00:02:28,006
If I click on that and drag that
67
00:02:28,006 --> 00:02:30,007
I'll get a preview as to what's going on
68
00:02:30,007 --> 00:02:34,003
in my composition up here
in my Composition panel.
