Hey, welcome back to my new video. This is
easy tutorials, and for those of you who are
the first time in this channel, please consider
subscribing.
As I was saying in the previous tutorial,
I will show you how to make a beautiful end
screen for youtube videos. So, after learning
how to make the plexus background, today I
will teach you how to create this.
In this tutorial will be using the EZ Tools
script, which is free to download. So let's
start.
Import the files you need into After Effects.
You can download the project files and the
template separately, this way you will be
able to create this youtube end screen, even
if you don't want to download my template.
You can find both links in the description.
Create a new composition and name it: end
screen. I'm using a FULL HD 1080 pixels preset,
with 30 frames per second, and 22 seconds
long.
Bring the plexus background file into your
composition. For those who ask how to create
this kind of animation, you can click the
link from the right upper corner of this screen,
and watch the tutorial on this subject.
Select your layer and apply the tint effect
to it.
Open the Effect Controls panel, and click
"Swap Colors", then, change the black color
to this shade of gray.
Precompose this layer, and name the new composition
plexus.
Create a new solid, of any color, and name
it: matte left. make it 1500 pixels width
by 3000 pixels height.
Move its anchor point to the middle right,
Open its rotation options, and change the
rotation angle to 45 degrees,
Then, right click on it, and select: transform,
"center in view". This action will place the
anchor point of your layer, right in the middle
of your composition.
Duplicate the matte layer,
and rename the new one: matte right.
Right-click on the new layer, select transform,
then click flip horizontal.
As you can see, there is a little gap between
our two layers.
To fix it, select both layers, and open their
position options,
then, change the Y position of the first layer
to 539,
and the Y position of the second layer to
541.
Great, now, move to 1 second, and create position
keyframes on both layers,
Then, move back to the first frame, and drag
your matte layers to the corners like this,
until they are not visible anymore.
Select all the keyframes and easy ease them,
then, open the Graph Editor, and change their
curves like this.
Select the plexus layer and duplicate it,
Place the new one between the matte layers,
then, change on both plexus layers the track
matte to alpha matte.
Check out your animation, and see how it looks.
Create a new black solid, and name it: slide.
Open its rotation options, and change the
rotation angle to 75 degrees,
then, open the position, and change the X
position value to 1510,
move to 2 seconds, and create a keyframe here,
then, move back to 1 second, and drag your
slide layer to the right, until is not visible
anymore.
Select the keyframes and easy ease them, then
open the Graph Editor, and change the curve
like this.
Apply the gradient ramp effect to your slider
layer,
change the white color to a middle shade of
gray,
Change the black color to a lighter gray,
then, change the Y value of the Start of Ramp
to 1040. this will create a nice bevel border
on our layer.
Create a new shape layer, and name it: circle.
Add an ellipse and a stroke to your shape
layer.
Change the stroke color to this shade of gray.
Click on ellipse path 1, and change the size
values to 321.
Open the position options, and change the
values to 514,
and 296.
Open the layer settings, click add, trim paths.
Move to 2 seconds,
open trim path 1, change the end value to
0%, and create a keyframe here,
then, move to 3 seconds, and change the value
to 100%. Select both keyframes and easy ease
them.
Bring your logo into the end screen composition,
and resize it if you need.
Pre-compose it, and name the new composition:
logo.
Open the scale options, Move to 2 seconds,
create a keyframe on the scale, and change
the values to 0%,
move 10 frames forward, and change the scale
values back to 100%,
select the first keyframe and easy ease out
it,
then, alt-click the scale stopwatch, and right
the expression you will find in the description
of this video.
Open the position options, and change the
values to 514,
and 750.
If you have a complex logo, with different
colors and details then ignore this step,
else, apply the fill effect to your logo layer,
and change the fill color to a nice shade
of purple.
Select the Horizontal Type Tool, and write
your tagline. I am using the Gotham font,
which is free to download, with 39 pixels
size.
Move the text anchor point to its middle,
then, open the position options and change
the values to 514,
and 880.
Open the text layer settings, click on animate,
and select position.
Drag your text to the right, until is not
visible anymore,
Open the range selector 1, move to 2 seconds,
and create a keyframe on offset,
then, move to 3 seconds, and change the offset
value to 100%.
Check the motion blur box on all your layers,
then activate the effect from here.
As you can see, the end screen animation starts
from a transparent background, so you need
to render it with a transparent background,
and then use it as an overlay in your projects.
If you don't know how to render it with alpha
channel, you can click the link from the right
upper corner of the screen to watch a tutorial
on this subject.
Now, let's see our final result.
