Title: Lynda – Motion Graphics for Video Editors: Creating Animated Logos
Info: Everybody wants an animated logo these days, which is great news for freelance video editors. But what if you’re a video editor and?new to motion graphics? Motion Graphics for Video Editors breaks down this workflow into easily understandable chunks, showing how to use the Adobe Creative Cloud tools that most video editors already have to complete basic motion graphics tasks. In this installment of the series, Rich Harrington introduces a few different ways to get and prep logos that are the right format and resolution, and use Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to convert the files into layered images that are ready to animate. The real work then takes place in After Effects, where Rich shows how to animate a vector logo, as well as how to render a logo animation, add reflections, cast shadows, fill a logo with a pattern, and add rays and glows that will impress your future clients.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
Never been good with illustrator, maybe it’s time to give it a try? Or Corel Draw.
