Animating my YouTube Intro - Motion Design Workflow Tutorial

- In this video, I’ll show you how I animated my CZcams Intro in After Effects!
I think a CZcams Intro shouldn’t be any longer than 5 seconds. It basically is a logo reveal.
As my logo has a round shape, I wanted to use round shapes as main elements throughout the intro.
Three shapes at the beginning open up the intro and reveal round shapes, that rotate around the centre.
My workflow was to animate the shapes first. Therefore I used masks,
a radial wipe and for some depth drop shadows.
By the way, I use square solids (1920x1920 pixels) because if you then double-click on the ellipse tool, a perfectly round mask is created.
Then I added footage on top of some of the shapes. Therefore I simply
duplicated the shape and turned it into an Alpha Matte.
Timing is very important for intros. In my case, there are two frames interrupting the beginning of my videos, then the intro takes up speed very fast and with the logo reveal it slows down again und smoothes out.
I use music from Artlist: artlist.io

Good job bro ❤❤
Thx very much!! 😊
I was thinkig in doing a similar project for my showreel just like this today haha
Sure! Go for it!
I'm a fan of practical project dissections like this. Also, why did you decide to use masks on solids for the first two circles rather than ellipses in shape layers?
That's a very good question... Shape layers would have worked just as well.
I probably started playing around with some solids and masks at the beginning and just kept using them;-)
Nice video
Thx very much!

Did you use a plugin Motion 2 here?
You're very welcome! No, I don't use it at all actually.
@@ManueldoesMotion thanks for the answer) any others then? Or no plugins at all?
@@evushka2682 I don't think I used any plug-ins for this intro at all. Generally, I almost never use 3rd party plug-ins. I think you can come pretty far with what is included into After Effects.
my fiver gig he took me a week of idea and making all
Really?
