1 00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:02,004 - [Instructor] Camtasia's animations feature 2 00:00:02,004 --> 00:00:05,002 is an excellent option for adding a bit of interest 3 00:00:05,002 --> 00:00:07,001 to pretty much any clip. 4 00:00:07,001 --> 00:00:08,004 Let's take it a step further 5 00:00:08,004 --> 00:00:11,008 and animate multiple clips simultaneously. 6 00:00:11,008 --> 00:00:13,008 Like I have here with this phone animation 7 00:00:13,008 --> 00:00:17,001 from my demo project. 8 00:00:17,001 --> 00:00:19,008 Now, if I pop open this group, 9 00:00:19,008 --> 00:00:23,001 what I actually have are two separate clips. 10 00:00:23,001 --> 00:00:25,002 I have this screen cap from my phone, 11 00:00:25,002 --> 00:00:27,009 and below that a blank smartphone template 12 00:00:27,009 --> 00:00:30,005 so let's reconstruct this. 13 00:00:30,005 --> 00:00:32,004 Over here I have my two separate clips 14 00:00:32,004 --> 00:00:34,004 and I want them to move together. 15 00:00:34,004 --> 00:00:36,003 So the first thing I'm going to do is group them, 16 00:00:36,003 --> 00:00:41,001 select both, right click, and group. 17 00:00:41,001 --> 00:00:43,000 Now a nice feature with groups 18 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,006 is a group can be renamed to help keep things organized. 19 00:00:46,006 --> 00:00:48,002 I'm going to go ahead and do that, 20 00:00:48,002 --> 00:00:51,001 right click the group, choose rename group 21 00:00:51,001 --> 00:00:53,002 and name it something that makes sense to you. 22 00:00:53,002 --> 00:00:56,006 I'm going to call this one phone, 23 00:00:56,006 --> 00:00:58,008 and now it's time to add my animation. 24 00:00:58,008 --> 00:01:01,006 I'm going to pop open the animations button here, 25 00:01:01,006 --> 00:01:03,004 and I like custom animations 26 00:01:03,004 --> 00:01:05,005 you can experiment with any of these. 27 00:01:05,005 --> 00:01:09,007 It is drag and drop the animation to your clip. 28 00:01:09,007 --> 00:01:12,001 Now, custom animation doesn't actually look 29 00:01:12,001 --> 00:01:13,001 like it's doing anything, 30 00:01:13,001 --> 00:01:15,000 you have to actually tell it what to do. 31 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,004 So, I'm going to click on the end of the animation 32 00:01:17,004 --> 00:01:19,002 and I'm going to add a bit of a tilt here. 33 00:01:19,002 --> 00:01:21,008 I'm going to click in the Y area 34 00:01:21,008 --> 00:01:24,008 and use the arrows on the keyboard. 35 00:01:24,008 --> 00:01:27,002 Now it's going up really slow by decimals, 36 00:01:27,002 --> 00:01:30,002 but if I hold down Shift, I go up by whole number. 37 00:01:30,002 --> 00:01:34,002 So let's add a tilt about like that looks pretty good, 38 00:01:34,002 --> 00:01:36,003 let's go with 23 degrees 39 00:01:36,003 --> 00:01:38,006 and next I want to scale it up a little bit. 40 00:01:38,006 --> 00:01:43,007 Let's go to 150%, then let's just kind of reposition this. 41 00:01:43,007 --> 00:01:46,007 So I've got that area right in the middle of my canvas 42 00:01:46,007 --> 00:01:49,008 and let's see how that worked out. 43 00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:52,004 Looks good, but it's a bit long 44 00:01:52,004 --> 00:01:55,001 so what I'm going to do is shorten the duration 45 00:01:55,001 --> 00:01:57,008 by grabbing the end of this animation 46 00:01:57,008 --> 00:01:58,008 and just shortening that. 47 00:01:58,008 --> 00:02:01,000 You can see the duration there is getting shorter. 48 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000 I'm going to put it at about 12 frames. 49 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,005 I could adjust this to go wherever I want on my clip. 50 00:02:07,005 --> 00:02:10,007 Put it about right here, that looks pretty good. 51 00:02:10,007 --> 00:02:11,005 And then over here, 52 00:02:11,005 --> 00:02:15,000 I did a tilt and then I did a slow pullout. 53 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,005 So let's recreate that over here 54 00:02:17,005 --> 00:02:19,003 with another custom animation. 55 00:02:19,003 --> 00:02:23,000 Drag and drop that just after my first animation, 56 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,009 so they tie together, 57 00:02:24,009 --> 00:02:28,003 and I'm going to just kind of reverse my tilt a bit here. 58 00:02:28,003 --> 00:02:30,002 Let's back it up with the arrows, 59 00:02:30,002 --> 00:02:31,009 hold down Shift, and I'm going to back it up 60 00:02:31,009 --> 00:02:34,006 maybe down to 20 or 19. 61 00:02:34,006 --> 00:02:36,001 And then I want the animation 62 00:02:36,001 --> 00:02:39,000 to write out the rest of the clip. 63 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,009 Let's see how that looks. 64 00:02:43,009 --> 00:02:44,009 Let me scrub through that, 65 00:02:44,009 --> 00:02:46,001 it played back a little bit jerky. 66 00:02:46,001 --> 00:02:52,006 We've got the tilt in, and then we've got a slow pull-out. 67 00:02:52,006 --> 00:02:56,000 Now this grouped animation is controlling two clips 68 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,002 but it doesn't really matter 69 00:02:57,002 --> 00:02:59,004 how many clips are in the group, 70 00:02:59,004 --> 00:03:02,007 the animation controls the entire group. 71 00:03:02,007 --> 00:03:06,008 If I pop open this mega group here, there's a lot going on. 72 00:03:06,008 --> 00:03:09,000 I've got a ton of different clips, 73 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,003 I've got a bunch of different animations. 74 00:03:11,003 --> 00:03:13,009 I've got groups inside of groups here, 75 00:03:13,009 --> 00:03:16,009 I've got a lot going on in my mega group, 76 00:03:16,009 --> 00:03:19,006 but I can still control the entire group 77 00:03:19,006 --> 00:03:21,001 with a single animation. 78 00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:23,007 I'll just go ahead and use one of the presets here, 79 00:03:23,007 --> 00:03:28,000 let's do tilt left, drag it to my clip and watch this. 80 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,007 All of these clips are controlled with this one animation. 81 00:03:34,007 --> 00:03:36,000 So to sum it up, 82 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,003 to animate any number of clips at the same time, 83 00:03:39,003 --> 00:03:41,007 just group the clips you want to animate 84 00:03:41,007 --> 00:03:45,009 then apply your animation or animations to the entire group.
