Using Animation Presets to Create Transitions in After Effects

For simplicity’s sake, let’s say you already have your Comp setup and have a layer you want to apply a transition effect to in After Effects. To begin, find the Effects & Presets Panel. If you can’t find it, under the Window menu find Effects & Presets. Choosing that will pop it right up.

Right away you should see the *Animation Presets folder in the panel. It’s the very top folder. Next twirl it open. Take a deep breath — there’s a lot in there. For this tutorial we’re going to focus on four folders: Text, Transitions – Dissolves, Transitions – Movement, and Transitions – Wipes.

The Three Transitions Presets Folders

Now twirl open the three Transitions folders. You can take any of these transition effects and drag and drop them onto a layer. Wherever your time position indicator is in the Comp is where the animation will begin. Give it a shot. Drag and drop an one of the pre-made transitions After Effects has provided onto one of your layers.

Uhh… what happened? You might not notice that anything happened. Select the layer and hit the “U” key to show all the keyframed properties. Also open up the Effect Controls Panel.

By default, all the transitions in the three Transition folders are 1 second long (I’m 99% sure of this, but could be wrong!). Now that you can see the keyframes, you can click and drag them to adjust the length of the transition. You can even flip their placement to reverse the transition. For example if you used the Slide – swoop transition if you flip the keyframes it would now swoop off instead of swooping on.

All of these After Effects transitions in the *Animation Presets folders are customizable. You do this in the Effect Controls panel.

To be honest, there’s a lot of junk in these folders. Things you’ll absolutely never use. A few of the good ones in my opinion are:

  • Fade – dip to black
  • Fade – flash to white
  • Fade – overexposed
  • Slide (any of them!)
  • Stretch & Blur
  • Stretch & Slide
  • Grid Wipe

I strongly recommend experimenting and going through as many as you can. Make some mental notes, or heck, some physical notes on which ones you like so you can remember for future projects.

Text Transitions Presets

Free After Effects Transitions

Let’s head back to the Effects & Presets Panel. Next find the Text folder inside the *Animation Presets folder.

There’s a ton in here. And, unlike the Transitions folders we just covered, there’s a lot of gems in here.

There are a couple differences between the Text presets and the Transitions ones. First, these can only be applied to text layers. And second the duration of the transition varies with each one. Some are a second but others aren’t.

The same rules still apply though. Wherever your time position indicator is, that’s where the transition will begin. You can flip the keyframes and alter the transition in the Effect Controls Panel.

Seriously, mess around with these. You’ll be surprised with how many transitions are just… there!

Animation presets can come in handy in a variety of different scenarios. Newbies can use them to learn their way around Adobe After Effects and introduce themselves to the wonderful world of animation. Seasoned motion graphics artists can use presets to brainstormideas and kickstart an animation project. Whatever the situation, let’s check out what Adobe After Effects has to offer.

Step 1 — Select the Layer

To apply a preset, I first need to select a layer on which to addmy animation. I can use animation presets on a variety of assets, including text, video, images, and solid layers. For this example, I am creatinga quick photo slideshow. I want to find a quick way to transition between a few image layers. In order to do this, let’s have a look at the presets we can use.

Step 2 — Browse Animation Preset

To browse through a few animation presets, choose Animation > Browse Presets. This command will launch the Adobe Bridge program. Once inside Bridge, I’ll see a library of animation presets from which to select. Click on a preset to watch a previewof the animation. There are many animation options, including transitions, texteffects, transformoptions and behaviors. I can even create synthetic shapes and backgrounds. To find a suitable animation for my slideshow, I’ll navigate to one of the Transitionssubfolders. Next, I’ll apply one of the presets to our selected layer.

Step 3 — Apply Animation Preset

To apply the animation, I simply need to double-click the preset in Adobe Bridge. Once I double-click the preset, After Effects will become active again, and the animation will applyto the layer I had selected. I’ll press the U key to quickly bring up all of the keyframesin my sequence. Furthermore, I can get a closer look at the preset options in the Effect Controls panel. For the last step let’s do some fine tuning.

Step 4 — Fine Tuning

To apply the animation preset to all of my image layers, I will select all of the layers and click Animation > Recent Animation Presets > Slide-drop. With all of the layers still selected in the sequence, I’ll press the U key again to bring up all of my keyframes. Finally, I can complete my slideshow by timing my keyframes.
