I Dent lesson 2

For this lesson we moved on to basic key framing and importing images/footage from other adobe programs, in this case we had to import an illustrator file (extension, .AI) into after effects and add text and a logo and then animate the composition. The first thing we had to do was make the image look more realistic, to achieve this we added drop shadow and emboss effects, this would make the image look more realistic. after we had to add a Text preset, a text preset is a set font of text and it has a unique animation, (the key framing is done automatically), in the one we used it was a fast swipe coming into focus as the text appeared.  We then had to pre compose the layers, pre composing is adding seperate layers of your choice to a new compostision, in our case we made a pre-comp to preview the animation of the text, we then had to render the composition for broadcasting quality (24fps).
