Introduction
This is the result we will create, a title that starts fast and then slows down very gradually and elegantly, a style often used in modern commercial videos. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The composition uses influence at 33%. By increasing the influence, we can create much more dramatic acceleration and deceleration. In this episode, we will adjust it through the dialog and directly in the graph editor. Create a composition from the flower footage, then add the Opium Flower text on the left side of the screen.
Step 1: Title Animation
Animate the position, at the 0-second mark, the text is outside the right side of the screen, at the 2.5-second mark, it is at its final position. Select both keyframes and press F9.
Step 2: What is Influence
Influence determines how much a keyframe affects the curve on either side of it. The default value is 33%. The larger the influence, the longer the deceleration section, and the sharper the peak speed.
Step 3: Keyframe Velocity
Select the second keyframe, then press Ctrl Shift K to open the keyframe velocity dialog. In the incoming velocity section, set the influence to 80%. Click OK. The keyframe icon remains a sand clock, but the incoming curve is now much longer.
Step 2 in the Speed Graph
Open the graph editor and select the speed graph. The curve is now asymmetrical, rising quickly at the beginning and then dropping very gradually towards the second keyframe. This is the style that makes the title feel like it's speeding up and then gliding slowly into its position.
Step 5: Dragging the Yellow Handle
Click the first keyframe on the graph.
Step si the Yellow Handle
A yellow handle appears.
Step 5: Dragging the Yellow Handle
Drag the handle to the right to increase the outgoing influence, around 70%. The value displayed next to the cursor shows the influence value. The curve shape changes instantly, and the animation changes accordingly.
Step Tinng Result
Close the graph editor and play the preview.
Step 6: Comparing the Results
The title stays still for a moment, then accelerates in the middle, and finally slows down gracefully. Compare with standard easing, the difference is clearly more expensive and cinematic.
Done!
Done. We have understood influence, opened keyframe velocity with Ctrl-Shift-KA, filled in influence 80%, read the asymmetric curve in the speed graph, and dragged the yellow handles directly. In the next episode, we will separate the position dimensions for the bouncing ball animation.
