Transcripts

1. Welcome to the Course: Hello, I'm Mark March and welcome to this course in Adobe After effects, where we're going to talk about some expressions and how to create animated infographics and how to take advantage of different animation techniques as well to make it great. So let me show you what we're actually going to create here in this Adobe After effect course. Let's have a look at this. Join me for this course. Thank you for joining as well. Let me show you what we'll be working on here in this course. So we're going to work on this statistics, sort of animation using expressions and some other techniques, where we're going to have something like this, where the bars are extending one by one. And more importantly, the numbers are changing at the same time. So as the green bar is expanding for the plant based, the numbers start changing 0-1157. And then as the red bar is extending for the animal based, the animal based foods numbers change 0-18. Expressions here so you can quickly and easily change them to any numbers you want to make a more interesting animated infographics. They will have another comp going to create this animated credit score. So this one here, where we'll have the numbers change, and this circle also animate around it at the same time. It's a really cool effect. Another popular example in all kinds of animated statistics, animated infographics, as well. You can it in so many ways, and we'll be putting them together here on this score. Okay. So without further ado, let's jump into Adobe After effects. You can use any version. It doesn't matter which version you're going to have. It doesn't have to be 2025 at the time of recording or 2024. It doesn't matter, really. This is going to work in any version of After effects. And let's start creating. Let's start working with me. I'm your trainer, Mark Marchi from Aak machi.com. And let's get cracking. 2. Create a Comp and add content: Okay, so let's start working on a project. So let's make a new project here. Let's also save it straight away. So go file sas and no more savers. I'm going to put it into our course folder here, here, and this is going to be say, I'm going to call it expressions, statistics. Okay. In here. Just to show you what we're going to work on here, I took a screenshot of something that we're going to work on. It looks something like this, okay? Where first of well, we have the bars animating from one side to the other, and then the numbers will also animate. The main focus is going to be on these numbers being animated here, 11 57 and 18, where we use expressions for that. Okay? So let's put this together. So we're going to make a new comp. I'll go for the standard full HD. So say going to call it statistics, ok? Full HD, 24/second for the background, yeah, I think maybe I'll go for the white for the background in here, for the color. It's right in the comer. 24 rads per second. 10 seconds is plenty, that's fine. Lo click, okay. What have you got in here. Okay, so got a rectangle, some text on the top. Okay, so let's grab a rectangle tool, I'll draw rectangle. Say, maybe here. Well, probably don't need a stroke, but want a dark color, so go for maybe very dark gray. And we'll put some text in here. What does it say? Antioxidant content. So we can do everything together. This would be cent align. Actually, they both should be cent align, select the text and shift click on the shape, use the line panel to align them to the center. No, not to each other. So this should go to the center. Oh, also, just undo. Remember with shapes. So I just select it. Remember with the Anca point. So let me just undo the last step, select just the shape and go layer, transform center encapoint layer content. Hmm? Because normally the ca point would be in the center of the comp. Okay, so we want this shape to be in the center. Also want the text to be in the center here as well. And if we make sure that our text is center aligned within its properties, I center alged within its properties. And using a line panel also center line and make it all caps, maybe a different font. Let's see what we got in here. Maybe I'll go for Roboto, light, white color. Okay, it's white already. Perfect. I'm just going to name the shape layer as well because you should have a proper name. So let's say anti oxidant background. Okay? Should probably use the A as well. Okay? Or lock these layers, so we don't accidentally actually, just put the text a little bit lower here. Maybe like this. Okay. We'll log them. And then we'll add some text here for the plant based animal based. So grab a type two. This could be together as one layer. So the plot based, animal based. Okay? Now, this text is supposed to be darker, like black. This would be right aligned in this case. This text here. Let's take a look at this. Okay. Well, this one isn't, but I'm going to keep it right aligned here. Okay? It doesn't have to be exactly the same, remember? And because this is one text layer with two nights of text, we can adjust the space in between them vertical spacing by adjusting leading here. N a bit more space in there. Maybe more like this 150, okay? And this goes here. Now, I'm not going to worry about these lines in the background. We'll focus on this bar there. So I'll just draw one line here. So this like the layer. And with the pentle just draw a vertical line there with a thick stroke. So have a black stroke. Five maybe. Let's see. Also, in case we doing any transformations, again, layer, transform, center cap and the layer content. I think this will do. We can always, you know, edit it later. And this is going to be vertical line. Okay. So let's just put a text underneath for our expressions. So plant based foods. Okay. Remember the numbers will need to be different separate because we want to animate the numbers, okay? So just put some text first. So type to again. Woo. I'll keep them separate. So this one would be separate. It's a bit too big. Oh, alignment doesn't really matter in this case. Well, let's say Santa. So this will go here. I'm going to duplicate this layer, so do Control D or Command D on MC to make a duplicate and move it along. And this is going to be animal based foods. I think they're too big now, so I'll select them both together and make them a bit smaller. Okay. Then we'll position them. So I'm using shift key to make it move in a straight line or kind of to some extent, straight line, yes. So you like this. Okay? And then we'll put the numbers. So the plant based one is 11 57. Remember, this will need to be a separate layer. 11 57. And maybe I'll make it thicker. Don't make it stand out. Now, we'll align them in a second. But we can also just do it like this. And again, I'll make a duplicate. The other one was 18, so I got the layer selected. Control D Command D to make a duplicate. I'll move into the shift key and the right arrow key and then I'll double click, and this will be 18. If you like keyboard shortcuts like I do, typically with the text. So if I put a text so here, type in some text, you can then do Control Enter or command return on Mac to accept the text. And then you can do for selection tool, okay? Okay, so let's just finish. So these two lines, this could be again Pentl in here, we can do a straight line there. Switch to selection tool to check what it looks like. Looks fine. Okay. So make a duplicate, control the Commande and shift down RokeyT move it down or just okey. So get something like this. I think this should be a bit lighter, so I sell them both together and the stroke, just a little bit lighter. So get something like this. Okay. In the next video, we're going to add the shapes, and maybe we can start animate them. I'm just going too safe in the meantime because you never know. I'll continue next video. 3. Add Graph Bars: Okay, so let's get on with the shapes. What we need to do here is we're going to have these two shapes that are going to expand from left to right. They animate, as the numbers animate as well. Okay. We'll do just one first. Oh, by the way, these were also color, not black and white. They were initially, or at the end, maybe. They were black and wie but they were actually color so we can make them colour as well. So remember we're making new shape labs or should take care of these ones. So this is the say as horizontal, but about let's see I should do horizontal bar. Above text. And this one is horizontal bar below text. That's with what? Okay, so make a new shape layer. So make sure you don't have anything selected. What is the RectangoTT draw rectangle here. The size you want, we can do. So, let's say, if I go like this. I just want a normal fell. So I'm going to change the type of fill by holding old key and clicking on the color swatch to change it to a solid color. And then I'll click to change the colour to, I don't know, so say maybe like a dark green. Okay. Let's make it a bit taller. So I'm going to zoom in a bit closer here or grab a selection tool just to make it a little bit taller, maybe like this. And maybe no stroke in here, so I set the stroke to zero. This is just the ba. Okay? Because we're going to animate this bar because it's going to resize. It's going to stretch from left to right. We need to move the Anca point to the left. If you don't see the ancha point, this is not the Anca point for the layer. No. Just deselect the layer. Select the layer again and that's the ancha point. Remember, normally the shapes have the ancha points in the center of the comp. So going to grab ancha point tool. The ancha point tool, it's going to zoom in closer. We'll move it to the left edge of the shape right on the edge here So when you resize the shape, if I grab a selection tool and try to resize it, it does this. Okay? That's what we want for expansion. We can do the other shape at the same time. I'm just going to name this layer as well. So, you know, this is going to be say plant. Actually I'm going to do bar plant. And I'll make a duplicate of contro do commande and this one is going to be bar animal, and I will move it down and will change its color to a different. I'm going to change the fill color to a different color. Maybe more like a reddish color, maybe something like that. And this is supposed to be shorter. I'm going to zoom in and make it short. Let's double check the layer. So deselect, select the layer. Okay, the enc ps on left, it's fine. And then we'll just make it shorter. So it may be something like this. Okay? So I've got these two shape layers here. They're going to expand. Remember, make sure that Anca points for these layers, excuse me, on the left hand side, because these shapes are supposed to expand towards the right. And make sure you select the layer, not just the shape, but the actual layer to check the Anca point position here. Okay. We're ready to start animating this. And that's what we're going to do in the next video. So we'll continue on the next video. Keep it open. 4. Animate Graph Bars: Continuing from the previous video. In this video, we'll animate these graphs, these bars in here. It doesn't matter which one we start with really. And you probably know how to do it already. So let's just start with the top one. Or normally do things, you know, from left to right, from top to the bottom. Starting with the top one. So I got to lay selected, I'm going to press EF scale to go to the scale property automatically. Okay? Well, add a keyframe, and this keyframe will actually appear later because this bar is much longer than the other one. I'll give it more time to animate. So I'm going to move the CTI. Let me just zoom out here. So move the CTI, move the keyframe. Sorry, move the keyframe to maybe 3 seconds. Now, if you want to get exactly 3 seconds, what you can do or what I would do is move the CTI to 3 seconds. I can just click here and do 300 for 3 seconds. And then as you move your keyframe, you hold a shift, which makes it snap. Okay? Now, move the CTI back to the beginning. Now, we'll do it in the timeline because it's quick, easier in that way as well. If you break the link because we just want to change the width, not the height, and we change the width to zero. Okay? So get something like this. Because this starts animating and then it stops. I definitely play some easing. Maybe easy Es to make it speed up initially. So you can click on the Word scale. Sect both keyframes and you can i do F nine. Alright, click Keyframe assistant. Easy Es. This will make it look nice. Okay. And this will be timed with the expression for the numbers as well, okay? The numbers will also animate for, say, 3 seconds. Yeah, I think 3 seconds will be enough so people don't get bored. Okay, let's do another one. So let's lay at the other shape layer. As for scale, don't worry about the position of your CTI right now. Click on the Stopwatch for the scale. Move the CTI to where you want this to stop. I'm going to make this animating after the first one. So this will animate, say from 3 seconds to 4 seconds. Some of the keyframe to 4 seconds. And I'm thinking maybe we'll give it a second delay. So maybe 5 seconds, actually. Let's do 500 and then we'll move the keyframe here, and then back at 4 seconds, the same we'll break the link, the chain, and we'll change the width to zero. And like on the previous one, we'll select both keyframes and apply ese here as well. So let's just preview Okay, this will do. Because this is short term. I was going to shut in the work area as well. Here's a quick way. You can move your CTI to where you want this to stop. So let's say audio 6 seconds. Then you can do letter N, N, and this will shut in the work area. Okay. I think this will do. This is fine. So in our next video, we can move on to text. Save it, keep it open, and we'll continue the next video. 5. Add Text Expressions: Okay, everyone, the moment you've been waiting for where we can start animating the numbers. We can make the animate, which we can use for all kinds of animated statistics, a very popular feature. So here we go. Select your text layer, the one with the number. Now we're going to use an expression here. We'll also use an effect and we'll combine them together. We'll put them together in here. Okay. So let's select the text layer, and then we'll go to effect menu and expression controls and slider control. This adds the slide control effect to your layer. Now we're going to connect these Well, we're going to connect the text properties text numbers with the slider control effect. So in the timeline, we'll open the text layer, the one with the number, and we'll open text. I'm looking for the source text. And we're going to link the source text with the slider control. So first, we'll apply expression. So we'll click on the stopwatch. Okay. And then use the Piquip in this case, and we'll use the Pi Quip to connect source text, click on the Piquip, hold the mouse buttto down, and drag the cursor into defect Controls panel and drop it on the slider property of the slider control effect. This will write an expression for you this expression here, okay? Don't worry about your composition panel, ignore it for a second. If you now just click away, everything goes back to normal. And the number on your screen tends to zero. Yes, this is supposed to happen. Because if you look in the controls panel, the slider control has the slide set to zero. Try changing it and see how the numbers are changing. How cool is that, okay? So, what we'll do now is we'll keyframe the slider control effect. And what was the number? 11. What was the number? Oh, so here. 11 57. Okay, 11 57. So let's move the CTI to where this animation is supposed to stop. Mine would be at 3 seconds here. I will set the slide the control to be 11 was it 57 or 87? 11 57. Okay, 11 57 and we'll key frame it, okay. Then we move the CTI back to the beginning. I will set the slide value to be zero. So now, you may get decimal points. That's okay. Excuse me. Don't worry about it at the moment, okay. The important thing is the numbers are changing, okay? Because I'm getting so many dismal points, and we have such a big number 11 57. It looks like a mess. But don't worry, we'll fix it next. Just make sure you have this animation here, make sure you add this expression. Now the expression, you could also just type it this expression here. Instead of using Piquip, you could just simply type this in or you could copy and paste it if you wanted to. Mmm. But in this case, we use the piquip because it was just easier. A? So if you make sure it's working, and we'll fix it in the next video. 6. Fix Text Expression: Following from the previous video, let's fix this kind of issued expression where I'm getting so many decimal points here that I can't even see the numbers as they change. It's all rather a mess, okay? So we're in to fix it, okay? Right. It doesn't matter where CitI is right now because we just need to edit our expression. We just need to add something to our expression in here. So in the timeline, find your expression. That's the expression here, or click on it to edit it. And we need to add just a tiny bit after the expression. We will type a little bit of code, but don't worry, you don't have to type everything because there will be some dropdowns. There will be some help from after effects. So what I usually do is, as I'm going to show you, I'll start typing the code. And as the dropdowns appear, I'll be selecting the options using the down arrow keyboard and then using enteky to accept them. So this can be all done without even touching the mouse, this part of the exercise in here. So here's what we'll do. So put the ersole at the end. Type in dot and then VA and you get a drop down, we're looking for value. So once you type VA, you can just press Enter on your keyboard. Okay. Then dot again. To F. We're looking for two fixed. And again, you can just press nt on a keyboard. Or you can double click on this code that's highlighted if you prefer. I'll just press Enter. Value two fixed. Oh finished, no worry. Excuse me, one more element here. We'll put a zero between the brackets here. Okay. And this will remove all decimal points. Let's just preview and now explain a bit more. Don't press Enter because this would create a new line of code, just click away to deselect it. And now you'll be getting just full numbers, just integers in here. How cool is that? Okay? The zero we typed in here at the end, let me just stop it, put a cursor here. So this zero we typed in this one. This is the number of decimal points. So if you want some decimal points, you can type in one for one decimal point, two, for two decimal points, and so on. This might be useful sometimes. If we do say statistics with the percentages 0-100%, you may want to have 27.25 or so. So you can do two in the bracket. In this case, one, zero, there are no decimal points, okay? Right. Now, we'll be doing another text layer, but I thought maybe we can do like a task. So here's what we can do. Uh, let's actually talk about it on the next video. So just keep it open, and let me share with you a task next on the next video. It's not too save you never know in here to make sure it's all saved. Okay? And I'll see in the next video. 7. Another Text Layer Expression: Welcome back. With the expression we've done on the last video, it's this one here where we have the numbers changing, and there are no decimal points we'll remove the decimal points in here as well. I wouldn't be adding Well, you cannot eas it if you wanted to, but I want the numbers to change at constant pace. And I thought what we could do to finish this exercise, this composition is we could so if you want to do it on your own, maybe potentially, you could try to do it on your own. If not, I'll show you once again how to do this animation here. So if you want you can pause at this stage, and you can do the layer. And then you can see if you can do it on your own. So be a good exercise for you if you fancy a bit of a challenge. If not, let me show you how we can do another one the same way we did the previous one. So slide the text layer, layer 18. We'll layer this says number 18. Effect, expression controls, slider control. On layer 18, we will open the layer. We will open text. I will hold, click on the stopwatch for the source text, click on the PiquipHld, drag it into the effect controls panel, drop it on the slider property because we know we're getting these decimal points, and we need to remove them anyway. We can do it right now. So I can do dot Va value TOF to fixed zero. I just click away. A do keyframe. So we need to check where the keyframes are for this animation. This is the first one at 4 seconds. Keyframe the slider, keep it at zero, and then the next keyframe is at 5 seconds, and that's where the number changes to 18. So we just save it and then preview it there's one more change I'm going to make to the other numbers, the one we just animated. Because the slider, the bar, the red one on mine, animates later and it's not visible at the beginning, I would like to do the same for the numbers as well. I don't want them to be visible here yet. These numbers in here, okay? So I'm going to show you a quick technique in the next video in here. Just make sure the numbers are animating as expected for now, and we'll fix it next. 8. Finish Your Project: Continuing from the previous video, so we have both numbers animated right now. I mean, both sets of numbers, the 11 57 and 18, we have this bus animated as well. About this animation where it goes 0-18, or the second animation, whichever one is your second animation, I think, doesn't look quite right with the zero at the beginning. I'm just thinking maybe it shouldn't be there at all to start with, like this red bar isn't here for the first few seconds, okay? Just zoom out there. So we could do is we could make this layer with the numbers. Appear just before it starts animating. That's really easy because we can just simply trim the text layer. So this layer selected. If you're looking at timeline, this is the layer, layer 18. Okay? We got this bar here, so we're going to trim it. So let's say this starts animating at 4 seconds. I'll make appear maybe half a second earlier. So I'm going to click in here and I'll do 312. That's 3.5 seconds. Okay. And then we'll trim this layer. That's the one. Again, if you hold Shift key, which enables snapping, this will just snap like this. So this number doesn't appear for the first 3.5 seconds. It appears later. I think this looks better than the other one, okay? So this is this animation we've been working on. But don't worry. I have one more kind of project where it's actually going to be another comp, but let's see, one more project for us to work on where we'll have numbers animating again, but we're also going to have this circle animating. You'll see. So this is this exercise here. This is our first comp. I'll do another one moving on into the next video to keep it open, and we'll do another one in the next video. 9. New Comp - Credit Score: Welcome back to a second project we're going to work on. I mean, the same project file, another composition, but I would say like a second project because this is going to be a different one, okay? So we're going to make a new composition here. And example I'm going to use here is when you login to say to check your credit score. For example, here in Britain, an example would be clear score, and they show you the number with a credit score out of 1,000. This could be percentages if you want to. We could do percentages, actually. And a circle element around it. Okay? So I'm going to call it say credit score up, for example. Let's say this would be like a mock up for a mobile app. So the preset is going to be for the vertical. So say Go for full HD, vertical, social media, portrait HD. I'm just going to change the fragment back to 24 as usual. Okay? And oh click okay. That will add some text here. So on the top, I'm just going to type in your credit score, okay. And this will be cantaligm just going to make a little bit thinner, okay? And maybe not black. Let's give it some color. Something a bit darker, maybe. Okay. Then we'll put a big number in the center. I'll use percentage as an example, the percentage symbol separately and the number separately. So type, we'll put some text here. So let's say we can do something a bit unusual, not like 80% or 60%. So I'm going to do maybe, say, 77 as one layer and much bigger than that. Yes. I want it to be nice and big. We'll have one more for percentage. So I'm going to duplicate this layer. So control a commandee. I'll move it. Oops. Just want to move it. Here we go. And this will be percentage. Okay? Let me just zoom in closer. So these two together, Ideally, let's say, in the center horizontally, vertically. Let's see what it is. Maybe maybe a little bit too low. So actually, yeah, I'll move it a bit higher and a bit to the left, and this one comes next to it. The We'll get some fits, okay? Venus seems to go just tiny bit lower. The high. So get something like this with the percentage. Okay? Now, we'll quickly anlate the numbers which you know how to do from the previous videos. So the text layer selected, we go to effect, expression controls and slider control. That will open the layer in a timeline, open text, Alt click on the source text to add an expression. Click on the Pique icon, click and drop it on the slider property, and we'll add here dot VA value TOF to fixed zero between the brackets. I'll click Away and I will key from the slider control effect from zero at the beginning. I'll give it a few seconds. Let's say, maybe 4 seconds, and I was doing 77. So have something like this. Okay. Let's make it a bit shorter. So I'm going to make this comp, say 5 seconds and for the end of the work area. We know this so far. Percentages don't change, they stay as they are, okay? But what's going to be different this time is this animated circle around it, which will reveal itself bit by bit. Okay? So once we have this, we're going to do this circle in the next video. So keep it open. I will continue in the next video. 10. Add an Animated Circle: Okay, so continuing from the previous video. Let's add a big circle as a shape layer. So dis like this layer, we grab it a lip stool and we'll draw a circle. Now what we want, just so you know, is we want a big circle that's around the numbers. So I'm going to click and drag, hold the shift key. So it's a perfect circle. This needs to go well, it doesn't matter if it goes above or below because what we'll have here, let me just release the mouse button. What we'll have here is the big circle with a big fat stroke and no fill. Okay? Let me just so selection tool or set the fill to nothing. Nice so fill options. No fill, and we want a stroke, a really thick one, say about maybe Let's say, I'll do 100 pixels. I want to give it a different colour, so make it red, okay? And use the align panel to align it as well. Okay. That's right, uh? Hmm. It doesn't matter if it's above or below. I'm just going to rename this layer as well. So this is the circle. Okay. Now, we want this circle. So we want a circle with a big fat stroke and no fill, okay? I mean, you could have a fill if you wanted to, but you need to make it the same color as the background because we don't want to see it, okay? And if we have a circle with a stroke and no fill, it doesn't matter if it's above or below your numbers. Okay? So in this case, it's on the top layer, that's okay. It doesn't matter. Now, to make it appear, kind of reveal itself bit by bit and will reveal itself clockwise like this. Because I've got 77% at the end. This will reveal itself to somewhere around here because this will be 75%. This will be 77 somewhere here. We don't have to worry about it because we can make it go to 77%. And for this, we need an effect. In this case, this will not be an expression. This will be an effect in this case, okay? And we'll do it in the next video. So keep it open, and we'll do this reveal in the next video. We'll save it in the meantime and we'll see you in the next video. 11. Animated Circle Reveal: Okay, continuing from the previous video on this circle here. Wind an effect to it. So if you go to Window effects and Preseart, this would be just quicker because we can search Ineffects and Presets panel. And what we're looking for is radial wipe. So if you type in radio, we're not looking for animation preset, no, we're looking for the actual effect. The one under transition, this one. You can also find it under effect menu, and then facide the layer. You can also do effect transition and radial wipe. Now once you apply radial wipe effect, go to Effect Controls panel and start changing transition completion to see what happens. So you get something like this. Okay. How cool is that? Now, just to explain radial wipe, by default, this is going to transition around the center of the comp. So you may want to move the wipe center. On minus seems to look okay. However, it is rotating or revealing itself around here, which is not exactly in the center. So I'm going to click on this tugged icon for wipe Center. Just once. Click on it once, and then move the cursor using these squares for alignment and these ones as well. Okay? So line doesn't have to be perfect, but this will do. And I'll just click once to move the wipe center, okay. As for transition completion at the moment, it makes disappear, actually, okay? So here's what we need to do. Change wipe to counter clockwise in here. Try transition completion again. Okay? Well, not exactly what we have to, but here's what we'll do next. Transition completion. We'll set it to 100% to start with. Okay. And we'll be key framing it. But let's make sure that our CTI is where the animation starts. So at the beginning, probably, we'll keyframe transition completion. Then move your CTI to where the animation finishes in your timeline. And mine finishes at 4 seconds here. And now we'll take 100, we'll subtract the number you have in here. I've got 77. So I'm going to type in 23. And this is 77%. How cool is that? And now we get something like this. You can use it for all kinds of animations whenever you want, a circle, ellipse shape reveal itself bit by bit around in this case. Just remember to do some maths at the end on transition completion, take 100, subtract the number you want. So I'll subtract in 77 100 -77 is 23. And that's exactly 77%. These are really popular techniques and popular expressions in all kinds of animated infographics. They're great, and you can use them for all kinds of stuff in here. Okay. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for joining me. Thank you for watching these videos with me. If you have any questions, let me know and have a look at my other classes as well. Other after effects classes or primi pro classes in here as well. And let me know if there are any specific things you want me to cover so I could do some other courses for you here. So thank you for watching. I'm Mark Machik and Enjoy.
