Hinged Text Transition - After Effects Motion Typography Technique

[OnurFull]

Please instead of pressing on the keyboard use ur mouse or put a camera on the keyboard :/

[ECAbrams]

@OnurFull I am too ashamed of my incredibly messy keyboard to show it. It has a lot of crumbs and I think plumb sauce stuck in it.

[beldorian]

At 8:44 what did you do to show only the Orientation; x; y; z ??? I am expanding Transform and it is showing everything... no optimal :) Thanks for great tutorial - my daughter and I are laughing our butts off at your humorous comments! :)

[ECAbrams]

@beldorian well thank you kindly. You can pop open all the rotation and orientation properties by hitting "r" on the ol keyboard. All properties have a shortcut like that to save you time and annoyance. Position is "p" and anchor point is "a". Glad you like my stuff. I do it for the lols.

[SweetAppleSourz]

have you got a tutorial on that background? please :) x

[ECAbrams]

@SweetAppleSourz might be a short tutorial. It's a "solid layer" with an offset radial "ramp" effects on it. The gradient around the edges of the frame is from a vignette. And I believe there is a coloured solid layer over the ramp set to some blending mode. Might be some curves adjustment overall too. But that's about it. Play around with the settings on those and enjoy :)

abooooooooootttt... lol

[waterhurlinsucks]

Hey Evan, thanks a million for the tutorials they have helped me step up my standard. All of the colour adjust you do at the end of this video do you have any tutorials that show you doing these? It would really help a lot as I am sick of all of my text looking flat and lifeless! Thanks again man!

[MrUniqueosmosis]

[ECAbrams]

@MrUniqueosmosis well thank you very much, I do play a lot of trivial pursuit and scrabble :)

[ECAbrams]

@boogy81869 well thank you very much. I'm glad you like my stuff. It would be cool to see what you make from the tutorial.

[boogy81869]

@ECAbrams As soon as I get the chance to practice I will post you my results! Thank you again for all your help I will subscribe.

[ECAbrams]

@boogy81869 no worries. Practice is key, and generally a lot of fun I find :D

[CManlove10]

Thanks so much for this! It really helped me understand the basics. It was also very entertaining, which made it fun and less like a complicated project to tackle. Awesome job:)

[ECAbrams]

@CManlove10 Glad you like it, and I'm happy to help. Thanks for your support.

Use Camtasia Studio 7 to record your screen... you can save it as 720p HD very easy.. look on my channel at the tutorial and you'll see what i'm talking about

[ECAbrams]

@LSBWeedie I actually record it in 1080p using good ol' QuickTime on the mac and downgrade it to 720p in Premiere for load time. Thanks for the tips though.

[WeeklyTweek]

YOUR THE MAN :)

[ECAbrams]

@WeeklyTweek well thank you very much. It boosts my ego to hear that.

[jamking1]

If i'm doing this ina larger project would it be easier to use a null object with the camera?

[ECAbrams]

@jamking1 tough to say. That really depends on if you are looking to move the camera more, and if you really need to I suppose. I used this as almost a prerendered piece when I put it in so the camera could be pretty simply done. Really the null object choice is one of comfort and style I would think.

[BlueHouseBurning]

I was ordering my food at Taco Bell Monday, then the irony hit me as I remembered watching this video the night before… Anyways, Great tutorial!

[ECAbrams]

@BlueHouseBurning haha, TacoBell owes me some commission on that sale I think.

[NoPuIze]

This is some sweet stuffs finally, are you inspired by a guy named Marcus Gustafsson or something from AETUTS? But ye nice tutorial, i really enjoy that sequence when u see the injection.

[ECAbrams]

@NoPuIze I'll be honest this is the first time I've heard of Marcus Gustafsson. AETuts I know. I could do a piece about how to make the injection part next.
