Flash to create text-beating animation effects

Special Effects | beats

　　First look at the animation effect:

The text of the animation, in the Flash animation appeared in more, with common nature. In addition to the tutorial to tell you how to make, but also want to let you understand is: simple operation, there will be vivid animation! The key is that we must learn to think, learn to sum up!

The software used in this tutorial is Flash MX, which mainly tells about the main part of animation, that is, the production of text animation.

Now, we go into the tutorial of learning, the effect of this tutorial, and no use of any as program, the program with a fear of people, can be assured to look down. Oh.

Before making, we first analyze, animation text of the Beat, it is obvious that a compression deformation of the effect, which let us think of "arbitrary deformation tool", the text of the beat is a time interval, which is the control of playback time. The animation in the production before there is a general analysis, will let our ideas clear, purposeful, will let us faster to achieve the effect we want, the so-called more than that is the case.

1. First, open our Flash MX, press the shortcut key: Ctrl+j, first set our document properties, to our animation set a suitable stage size and frame frequency. The specific settings as shown in the picture, the frame frequency set to 24, so that the animation will be more fluent playback, with some sense of reality.

2. According to our needs, the production of text. Here, we have to make a total of four words, the nature of "film clips", respectively, "deep", "Autumn", "Maple", "ye" four words. Press the shortcut key Ctrl+f8 to create a new symbol "deep" and select "Movie clips" as shown in the figure.

3. Click OK to enter the "deep" component of the editing interface, we want to make the goal is: for the text plus a certain stereo effect, make it more beautiful. Select the Text tool (shortcut key T) in the Drawing toolbar, press the shortcut key CTRL+F3, open the Properties panel, and set the properties for the text as shown in the figure. In the specific operation, we can according to their own situation, choose their favorite font, font size, color. Keep in mind: we have to learn the method, this is the most important. Of course, in principle, the three-dimensional embodiment, color on the front shallow after deep. So we try to choose a darker color.

4. Enter the text "deep" on the stage, and now we will add a stereo effect to the text. Select the text, press the shortcut key ctrl+b, the text to "detach" operation. Maybe someone will ask me, why do you want to separate? When is the separation operation? It can be said that, when we need to make a shape gradient animation, or to change the text of a part of the color, we have to "separate" the text of the operation, the text into a vector shape. After you have separated the text, keep the text selected, press the shortcut key CTRL + C, copy, and then press the shortcut key Ctrl+shift+v, the copied text paste to the original text above, continue to keep the text selected, press the keyboard to the left direction key, the direction of the key each 2 times, Make it and the original text to stagger a little position, filled with dark red. In this way, the first text "deep" was made. Make good text as shown in the picture.

5. According to the above method, make good "Autumn", "maple", "leaf" components.

6. Now we're starting to make the text tick. Follow me. Press Ctrl+f8 to create a new movie clip symbol named "Text Bounce", which determines the editing interface to enter the text bounce movie clip. Because to produce a total of four words beat, so we create 3 layers, so, plus the original, a total of 4 layers, in order to facilitate the identification, we renamed the layer, respectively, renamed "Deep", "Autumn", "maple", "leaf."

After renaming, we press ctrl+l key to open the library panel, the 4 movie clips we made before are dragged into the stage and placed in their respective layers, then we need to align the text, keep the text selected, press the shortcut key ctrl+k, open the Alignment panel, click "Bottom Align"-" Horizontal average spacing, align the text as shown in the figure.

7. In order to grasp the height of the text in the beating, we need to position the text. Press the shortcut key ctrl+shift+alt+r to display the ruler, and then we pull out the positioning guide as shown in the figure by holding down the left mouse button on the ruler.

8. Select the "deep" layer of the 10th frame, right-click, choose to insert keyframes. Select the Freeform tool in the Drawing toolbar to compress the "deep" word for frame 10th. Compress how many people can decide for themselves, compress big point, let the word high jump point. The operation of this step is to simulate the text before the squat action, so that the beat more real. As shown in the figure, is the contrast before and after compression.

9. Select the 15th frame of the "deep" layer, by right-clicking on frame 1th, select "Copy Frame"--"paste frame", paste to frame 15th, and move the deep word in the 15th frame vertically to the top of the reference line by pressing the UP ARROW key on the keyboard. As shown in the figure.

10. Then through the "copy frame"-"Paste Frame" method, we put the "deep" layer of the 10th frame pasted to the "deep" layer of the 20th frame. For

Frame 1th, Frame 10th, 15th frame plus motion tweens, so that the text completes a cycle from jumping to landing. It should be noted that the Earth's objects, due to the impact of gravity, there will be an acceleration of gravity problem. So we also have to take into account the gravitational effects of the beating of words. Let the text in the beating of the rising process, the speed is more and more slow, falling, faster and faster. The realization of this effect,

In Flash, it is achieved by adjusting the "simplicity" of the properties of the motion tweens animation. Therefore, the "deep" layer of the 10th frame, the 15th frame corresponding to the "simple" is 100,-100 respectively.

11. In the animation test process, we found that the text of the beat is still some blunt. Then, if the text in the ground, and then add a little rebound to it, the effect is not better? No matter how much, try it first. Select the "deep" layer of the 24th frame, the "deep" layer of the 1th frame copy, paste to the 24th frame, and then move the text vertically up a little, the distance is not too big. As shown in the figure.

12. Select the "deep" layer of the 26th frame, the "deep" layer of the 1th frame paste to 26 frames, and the text a little bit of compression, attention is a little bit of compression, that is, compression is not too large, compression before and after the contrast as shown in the picture.

13. Select the "deep" layer of the 27th frame, the "deep" layer of the 1th frame paste to the 27th frame, and press the keyboard up arrow once, the 27 frame of the word "deep" move up a little. Select 28 frames and paste the 1th frame of the "deep" layer into frame 28th. Select frame 20th of the deep layer, frame 26th, and add motion tweens, where the simple setting of frame 20th is 100. In this way, the "deep" word of the Beat animation is made good. Its timeline is shown in the figure.

14. According to the above method, make good "Autumn", "maple", "leaf" of the text beat animation.

15. In order to make the text according to a certain time, there is a regular, interval of the beat, we let the text beat staggered a little time. Set the timeline as shown in the figure. In this way, the production of text animation is completed. Note that the choice of consecutive frames is: Click the start frame to choose, press the Shift button on the keyboard, click the end frame to select, you can, after you can press the left mouse button, drag the frame we choose to the appropriate location.

16. Oh, almost forgot, there is the reflection of the text, this one. You can press the CTRL+F8 key, create a new movie clip symbol named "Text reflection," Drag the "bounce" movie clip we just made to the stage, then select the "Text Bounce" component, Ctrl+c,ctrl+v, and then "modify"--"transform"--"flip vertically", The transparency of the copied text can be set to the appropriate. Here I set it to 31%. As the picture shows, the reflection is OK.

And the next job is to set a playback environment for the text, to achieve the purpose of the performance, to this step, we can freely play, want to do, how to do!

This is the end of the bounce tutorial on text.

Learning through this tutorial, I would like to tell you that, in the production of animation, "careful" and "patience" is the lack of, usually to observe more, more practice, more accumulation, so, in the animation time, can be handy, leisurely.

Are you tired after reading? Let's have a cup of coffee. Oh.
