As we all know After Effect has tons of tools and features and all are very useful and easy to use but, in this blog, we are going to have a look at the top 10 tools that you really should know.
Best 10 Tools in After Effects
Here are my best tools and features of Adobe After Effects:
⦁ Shape Layers: - Starting with one of the best features in after effect is shaped layers. It is a flat object which can be created by a pen tool or simply click to rectangle, oral or pentagon button. We can customize it like by stoke (outline), fill, the roundness of cancer. Shape layer is different from a solid layer.
⦁ Pen tools /Marks: - The shape layer and solid layer are incomplete with the pen tool. pen tool allows the user to draw the object and then it creates a mask on it. The pen tool also helps in trace object in after effect. With that users can create a cool effect on it.
⦁ Track Mattes: - The pen tool is also very important for track mattes. track matter is used for masking another layer. for e.g., if the layer is set on the alpha matter then it will appear transparent on the area which alpha matter covers. In track matter, there are 4 matters which are alpha matte, alpha inverted matte, luma matte and luma inverted matte.
⦁ Blending Modes: - After Track Matter there is an option Blending mode. There are 38 types of blending mode are available. Which are very useful in their own purpose? Some of the best blending modes are normal, multiply, overlay, soft light, and color.
⦁ Pre Composing: - While working on a project user creates many layers that are very difficult to control and look messy. To handles, this project the user creates a group of many layers in one which we call pre-composed. The shortcut of Pre composing is (Cmd-Shift-C, or Ctrl-Shift-C).
⦁ Adjustment layer: - The adjustment layer is very useful in after effect. But some people say it is not because it is just a layer which does nothing, we only apply the effect on it. but it is useful if you want to apply the same effect on 5 layers it may slow down your system if you create an adjustment layer and put a layer under that and incest apply the effect on each layer apply on adjustment layer it provides the same effect on all layer which is under that layer.
⦁ Null Layer: - As an Adjustment layer null layer work. User can parent the multi-layer with null layer and control all layer with null layer only but something it does not work properly.
⦁ Cameras: - Cameras help in giving prospective in a layer but the first user converts the layer in the 3d layer as the name suggest then object convert in 3d.
⦁ Graph Editor: - Graphics editor work on keyframe which user set in the layer. it works is giving object smoothness while the user gives positin, scale, rotation it easy in them. which gives a nice look.
⦁ Plugins: - After the effect is incomplete with plugins. There are thousands of plugins available on the internet which help us to do work nicely. My favorite plugins are red giant tripcode
