After Effects Review Week of 10/21

What does freeze framing do in After Effects?

• 1. Freeze framing allows you to slow down footage for a dramatic effect.

• 1. It captures the visual style of a transition or moment in a video project.

• 1. Freeze framing gives the impression of a pause in storytelling, allowing viewers to focus on a specific moment.

• 1. It allows for easy motion tracking and animation to be applied to a single still frame.

Which is NOT a reason for using a mask?

• To create complex shapes and designs by defining layer visibility

• To hide or reveal specific parts of a layer

• To create animations by adjusting the mask path over time

• To change the audio properties of a layer

What do blending modes do?

• To animate layers automatically based on the music rhythm.

• 1. To control how a layer interacts with layers beneath it by defining how colors mix.

• To change the playback speed of a layer

• To compress the file size of a video layer.

Which is NOT a reason to use blending modes?

• To adjust the color balance and tonal range of a layer without using color correction tools.

• To increase the resolution of a layer's image.

• To combine textures from one layer with another for enhanced imagery.

• To create interesting visual effects by changing how colors blend between layers.

What is the primary difference between easing and linear animation in motion design?

• Easing creates a constant speed for motion, while linear animation varies the speed.

• Easing allows for a change in speed at the beginning and end of an animation, while linear animation maintains a constant speed throughout.

• Easing is used exclusively for 3D animations, while linear animation is only for 2D animations.

• Easing is a type of transition effect that applies to still images, while linear animation applies to videos only.

What is the primary function of time remapping in After Effects?

• To change the color of a layer over time.

• To allow animation and control over the speed and timing of a layer's playback.

• To apply effects to a layer in real-time.

• To synchronize audio layers with video layers.

What effect do speed ramps create in video editing?

• They ensure the video maintains a consistent frame rate.

• They add a static overlay that removes all motion from the scene.

• They convert the video format to reduce file size.

• They allow for smooth transitions between different playback speeds, creating dynamic motion effects.

What is the primary purpose of the Graph Editor in After Effects?

• To adjust layer visibility based on the video frame rate.

• To create and edit audio waveforms associated with a layer.

• To visualize and manipulate keyframe interpolation and motion paths for animations.

• To import and export project files between different versions of After Effects.
