This Tutorial is for Discreet's Combustion 2. It is adressed to
everyone including real beginers.
The purpose of the tutorial is to show the way Motion Graphics work
into Combustion. We all know how to animate some text into Macromedia
Flash, and for animating text and effects into Combustion, you will
have to learn a little bit more.
2.
For start get into Combustion 2, and once you're there, start by:
File / New / Choose the options you like in the next window that
will pop up. I used the Seting that can be seen in the picture bellow.
"NTSC Full" is a standard and I like using that because
I do not hve to set anything else (Like Frames / second, Output
size .... ). You are free to choose anything you like. Is up to
you to determinate the lenght of your movie. I choosed 1 (one) minute.
3.
Next we will add the text to the movie. Click F3 to dysplay the
WorkSpace rollout. Then Right Click the Composite Operator and from
the Contextual Menu select: Add Operator / Text ... .A text operator
will be added to the project as shown in the image bellow. Double
Click the new operator (the text operator you just added) to dysplay
the operator. You will also like to rename the operator from the
standard name (text) to something else easier to identiffy. I will
use Main Text. Main text because later I will duplicate this operator
to add some effects.
4.
Next click F8 to dysplay the Text Controls RollOut. Once you established
the text. (whatever you want) , try to adjust the dimensions of
your text and the colours of the Face and the OutLine. See the picture
bellow for some more details.
5.
The setings for the text are up to you, It should not matter for
the purpose of the tutorial. Anyway, if you feel safer to work with
me, here are the setings I choosed.
Under:
Text -> Basics
->
Text:
Design Studio
Font: Futura Mt Md
Font Size: 90
Under:
Text -> Atributes
->
Face and Outline set to -> gradient as in the following pictures:
The size, opacity and everything else just leave default.
I did not used the Shadow.
