Now, on to the workspace differences between After Effects and nuke. Now that we have an assignment to complete, I think it is about time we get into how a nuke differentiate in its working layout. In fact, this is so important that I'm teaching this to you in a whole separate lesson. So just to be clear, though, this is not just a lesson about workspace setups, but if you would want to know where to find them here it is very quickly in After Effects. If you want to change your workspace as you go to Window workspace, you can see all the different types of different workspace layouts, you can try animation effects, standard paint, etc. Any new if you want to change your workspace, you can see this very clearly obviously named thing called workspace.

And again, you can try all these different layouts, animation, scripting, compositing, etc. Alright, now back to the working structures of the software. So for some of you, moving from hierarchy Key to web and vice versa might not be easy. So thank God or to put it in the context of our latest commission to engineers, I am here to make it easy for you. in After Effects hierarchy is all about stacking layers on top and accumulating those effects in one direction, not the band. If you change the layer, it might affect other compositions in full effect, or partially.

Ultimately Think of it this way. It is like a stack of books layering on top of one another, or Jenga if you play that kind of thing. Now in nuke, wet base compositing or node based compositing is all about stemming from a main source and having variations to it. So for example, if you change a node, I'm just going to put this right back in to make it easier to illustrate. I'm going to hit W to close that too. Which I did not close on previous lesson, just delete this.

And I'm actually going to make this a little bit more obvious. So, you can see the effects being applied to put crop. Now, back to the points if you change a note it affects all that can be controlled from different branching out of the notes. So for example, if I hit D to to activate this, you can see I control this, but I can also stem up from here to create a different kind of effect from that one same particular node. So if I do this and I just changed this to minus 300, for example, you can see how have different kinds of effects coming out from the same node. Ultimately, it is similar to a growing plants for example, the stem does not just grow in one direction, but it in fact grows in multiple directions.

So I can apply different kinds of effects, all using the same particular base layer without having to create different compositions. Now in After Effects. If you haven't already figured this out, if you want to be adding things or effects to the layer, you simply have to drag and drop the effects that you want to apply today and then control it no effects panel as we discussed in the previous lesson. So I'm just going to do that very quickly. Let's say I want to add an effect. Let's just do blur because it's easy to find, drop it in, it's going to close this.

So men can see that effect being applied. In New York, you can easily insert something new inside and it will affect all connected nodes and outputs. So for example, if I want to add some grain to this constant, let me just do that very quickly. And just increase the size so you can see what's going on. You can see that this change applies to all other nodes that connect it to disk guy. Now in After Effects, you get the stacked visual view where even if you have groups of things so very quickly if I actually create a group of things, in order to see this, you actually have to go deep and double click on the group or the pre com in order to go inside the view what's inside, and then go back out.

And if you actually want to do both at the same time, you have to have both your timelines side by side in order to actually do both the upper layer and the lower layer if you want to see them both at the same time. Now in new, you get this web wholesome view where even when you have things grouped, all lumped together, you can still view the full picture unless you choose to hide them in the node graph, or you choose to separate them out. The node graph is kind of like your timeline in After Effects, though not to be confused with nukes own timeline for playback animation. Again, here are some more visual examples of the two different working layouts of After Effects in New York. Just for your learning references. Okay, so let's bring in our clips and start saving out our work on the commissioned art piece and prepping it in nuke.

So I'm just going to bring them in and save my file. I'm just going to clear all these jumps right here. Make sure you save your file, I've really saved my butt in case you're wondering how to do that. File, Save As, and then just type your name that you want to save it as long as you're gonna do the same thing and After Effects, so I'm just gonna select all these lete Yes, make sure you save your file, same thing file save as, and that should be all for now. Hmm, right. Okay, so confused.

Post your questions on the q&a board. If not, let's carry on with the next lesson on note types and finding your Basic effects in both software
