Introduction

Here's what we'll master: how to find, apply, adjust, animate, and organize effects, using waterfall footage as our practice material. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Module 8 covers effects, one of the main strengths of After Effects. In this first episode, we'll introduce two important panels: Effects & Presets for finding effects, and Effect Controls for adjusting them.

Step 1: Searching and Applying Effects

Create a composition from the waterfall footage. In the Effects & Presets panel, type saturation in the search box. The Hue Saturation effect appears in the Color Correction category. Select the footage layer, then double-click the effect's name. The Effect Controls panel opens directly on the left. In the Effect Controls, adjust the master saturation blue number to 30.

Step 2: Changing Parameters

The forest green color becomes more vibrant. Each effect has its own parameters. Numbers, colors, points, options, or checkboxes.

Step 3: Through the Effect Menu

Another way to apply effects is through the Effects menu. Open Effects, Blur & Sharpen, Gaussian Blur. The second effect is added below Hue Saturation. Adjust the bluriness to 20, and the image becomes blurry.

Step 4: Keyframing Effect Parameters

Effect parameters can also be animated. At 0 seconds, click stopwalk bluriness with a value of 20, then at 2 seconds fill in 0. The image changes from blurry to sharp, a popular way to open a video. On the timeline, press E to display all layer effects.

Step 5: Order and fx Icons

Effects are processed from top to bottom. Add a glow, then move the glow above Gaussian blur. The light is also blurred, resulting in a softer outcome. Click the FX icon next to the effect name to temporarily disable it and compare before and after.

Step 6: Reset and Preview

The reset button next to the effect name restores all parameters to their default values. We aren't using it right now. Rotate the preview, the open footage goes from blurry to sharp with fresh colors and soft lighting.

Done!

Done. We have searched for effects in effects and presets, applied them by double-clicking and using the effects menu, adjusted them in Effect Controls, animated parameters, understood the effect order, FX icon, and reset. In the next episode, we will delve deeper into blur effects. Need a promotional video, logo animation, motion graphics for social media, or visual effects for short films?
