Hey, welcome back to my new video. This is

So let's start.
First, we have to import our footage into
After Effects. You can download this project
from the link in the description.
Create a new composition and name it: Pixel
Polly animation. I'm using the FULL HD 1080
pixels preset with 30 frames per second and
7 seconds long.
Create a new solid and name it: bg.
Go to effects and presets panel and search
for: gradient ramp.
Apply it to your composition, and adjust its
settings like this.
Change this value to 540.
This one to 3000.
Change the ramp scatter to 100.
Switch ramp shape to radial ramp.
And click on swap colors.
Now we have a nice looking background.
You can use this effect with text and images
too. In this tutorial, we'll use a transparent
background image.
Bring the image into your composition.
Right click on it, and pre-compose it.
Let's name the new composition logo.
Don't forget to select move all attributes
into the new composition.
Duplicate this layer, then click here to make
the second logo layer invisible.
Go to effects and presets panel, and search
for cc pixel polly.
Apply it to the top logo layer, and let's
adjust its settings.
Change force to 1.
Gravity to 0.
Change the first value of spinning to 0.
And the second one to 5 degrees.
Change the direction randomness to 15.
And the speed randomness to 90.
Our pixel polly animation looks like this.
Change the grid spacing according to your
image, or text size. I'll set it 35 in this
case.
Now, make sure to have the top logo layer
selected, then click on the pen tool, and
start drawing a mask over the zone you want
this effect.
You can adjust it like this, to make it fit
exactly where you want.
Click here to open the layer options.
Click on masks.
Select the mask you've created, and click
control C, to copy it.
Paste it on your second logo layer, then make
this layer visible again.
Open its options, click on masks.
Then, change the new mask blending mode to:
subtract.
If you want to make this effect reveal from
more than one place, you only have to repeat
the masking process.
Let's check the final result.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to
create a pixel polly logo animation in After
Effects.
