This is a really fun effect to do, and the
best part is that it's ridiculously easy.
Here's how to do it: this effect works really
well for flipping things to the other side,
so we're going to need two objects, an exiting
object that starts on the screen but will
spin around and the entering object that will
come in to replace it. So we have our two
objects here. Next, we will add a Swivel exit
effect to the exiting object. And then a Swivel
entrance effect to the entering object. Now
let's make them both start with previous,
and let's change the timing. This is an extremely
important piece. I'm going to make the exiting
object's swivel .5 seconds, and the entering
swivel .25 seconds in duration with a .25
second delay as well. This way, the entering
swivel starts halfway through and finishes
right at the end so they're both in sync.
I'll first show you what it looks like separately.
Now I'll put them on top of each other, and
let's put the exiting object on top for now
so we can see better, although it really doesn't
matter which is on top in your presentation
- the effect will still look the same. And
there you go! See how easy that was? That's
pretty much the effect right there. And now
I'll just show you some ways to play around
with it. So as I mentioned, timing is very
very important here. Finding the right starting
time of the entrance swivel, .25 in this case,
isn't that easy. I actually figured out the
.25 on my own through a lot of trial and error
because you can't just always make it come
in halfway through - you'll see what I mean
in a second. I'll now share some other timings
that have worked for me just to save you the
trouble of figuring them out for yourselves.
The quick version is the one I just showed
you - .5 for the exit, and .25 for the entrance.
But there's also a medium version and a slow
version. I'll show you the duration and delay
for both the exiting and entering objects
for each category. As you can see, the entrance
and exit effects on the Medium and Slow versions
aren't exactly half. Look at the Slow column,
for example, for a 1.5 second exit, you actually
have to start the entrance effect at .55 seconds
and make it last .95 seconds. So that's nowhere
near a halfway split like you had in the Quick
version. Let me show you where I used each
of these timings in the video so that you
can see the difference for yourself. I'm going
to start off with the Quick version. This
was used in the Smiley Face sequence. As you
can see, the first smiley face has another
one right underneath it, and it comes out
during the spin effect. You can see the half-second
exit swivel and the quarter-second entrance
swivel with the quarter-second delay. And
this is what it looks like. Ok let's move
to the medium now. This was used for the intro
piece with the cards. You can see the words
"Spin Effect" underneath there. You can also
see the exit effect of .75 seconds and the
entrance effect at .45 seconds duration and
.3 seconds for the delay - almost, but not
quite half. And this is what it looks like.
And here comes the slow part. This one I used
at the end of the "Enjoy" sequence. Each of
these has a flipped version of itself underneath
it. The timings are 1.5 seconds for the exit,
and .95 duration, and .55 delay for the entrance.
And that's it! You can also replay the first
part of this video so you can see each of
these spins in much higher quality. As a very
very last piece, I want to show you a couple
of other more advanced tricks with this. For
the WordFinder sequence, I actually had to
offset the Word and Finder by .1, or one-tenth
of a second because otherwise, the top letters
would spin with the bottom letters like they
were one piece. This is what happens when
you have them together. And this is what it
looks like when they're a little bit off.
Much better the second time! Finally, I want
to show you a domino-like swivel, when one
follows the other right away. Here is what
I did for the first sequence. As you can see,
the next letter starts WITH the entrance effect
of the last letter, so they're kind of overlapping
slightly. It's really important to do your
math carefully on this one and add exactly
the right timing for each of these. And there's
what it looks like! And that's it! Quick little
trick but a lot of stuff behind it, and you
can do a lot of stuff with it, too! Have fun,
and see what you can come up with! Thanks
again for watching, and see you for my next
video!
