And you saw me going back and forth with J and K and I'll do it again really quickly. I have shift C shift V to go to previous key frame or next key frame. It's two scripts that you install, and then you can apply keyboard shortcuts. So that's where the smart key frame navigator comes in from a script it's really simple. I should be bouncing back and forth to the ones that are selected. Wouldn't it be great for after effects for it to know that, you know, what I really want to do is if I hit K I shouldn't go to the next key frame. Ryan Summers (01:45): So let's say the left foot and the position it's highlighting all of these keys right now. It's nice to feel to go back and forth between these, but one thing I've always wondered about was I really want to be able to just bounce back and forth between specific key frames on a specific track of a specific object. So in after effects, the keyboard shortcut for doing that is J and K. We flipped, we try one key frame and we go to the other one. But what we really do as animators is we moved back and forth. So that's kind of a fast way to kind of move around with things. So if I go to another key frame and I'd go with the mouse, the character will update. The nice thing is you can still see the controllers move back and forth. Ryan Summers (01:09): And if you hold down alt and you're working with a slower rig or a slow character to compute, that'll keep the interface from refreshing, which allows you to kind of scrub back and forth pretty easily. If you hold on shift, you can snap to key frames as you move their current time indicator back and forth. Being able to move back and forth between key frames is pretty straightforward. Let's just say, if we wanted to, we could go in and we want to adjust the left foot. We know in after effects, the lifeblood of all animation is key frames. Let's take a look at five tools that talk about key frames, compositions, timelines, the project panel, and one tool that'll help you work a lot faster. We're not talking about element 3d or particular or Stardust. So I'm here to show you some of the plugins and scripts you may not have heard of. Ryan Summers (00:27): When you start going into third party, plugins and scripts, it can be a really mind-bending experience. And yes, even Vultron in my time using after effects have come across a lot of tools, but here are five of my favorite that you may not have heard of. And I've been using after effects for almost 20 years and things like title sequences, VFX for feature films. One of the creative directors here at school of motion. Ryan Summers (00:00): Hi, I'm Ryan Summers. Registration for the Spring 2020 Session lasts until April 5th at 11:59pm ET! We'll see you in class.
