After effects timeline

What is timeline in after effects

Timeline is an important section of after efftect from where we make adjustment in the parameters of animation or we set key frame from here for making animation in after effects. 

In timeline we have two sections that are

• Layer panel &
• Frame section

We have discussed Layer panel in pervious article you can visit this link for layer panel.

Today we will discuss about frame section of timeline.

This is timline frame section in which we have different component for handling parameters of animation in after effect. Let us discuss different component of frame section of timeline one by one.

Play head

This is move head by moving it we can set keys on our layer for animating them. You will see only that section of any animation at which frame play head lies at particular time.

Rural

This will show you time of your animation. Time of ant animation divides into hour, minutes, second and frame. So you can see per frame value in rural by zoom in work area.

How to Zoom in or zoom out work area of timeline in affter effects

We can zoom in or zoom out work area of any composition for seeing each frame or full time of composition by these buttons. Press this button of zoom in

And press this button for zoom out

You can also drag this circle in left or right direction for making your work area as  zoom in or out.

You can also drag this bar for zoom in or zoom out purpose as per your requirment.

This bar is time bar of particular layer. You can adjust start or end point of your layer by making changes in this bar.

For example if you want to start this layer from 2 sec. Then select this layer and place play head at 2 sec then press [ button of keyboard and your layer will start from here.

Now if you want to end this layer at 8 sec then select this layer and place play head at 8 sec the press ] button from keyboard. Now your layer will end at 8 sec.

How to adjust work area in after effects

This is work area bar. You can adjust it according to your composition requiremsnt.

For specify starting frame of work area place play head at your desired frame then press B button from ketboard. Your work area will start from this point.

Now if you want to end your work area at 7 sec then place play head at 7 sec then press N button from keboard. Now your work area end at 7 sec.

In this way you can understanf timeline in aftereffects.

Presspull command in autocad in hindi

presspull autocad in hindi

जैसा कि हम जानते है कि Auto Cad एक computer aided designing software है, जो कि engineering designing professionals के बीच बहुत लोकप्रिय है। Auto Cad मे बहुत से 2d  और 3d commands होते हैं, drawing बनाने के लिए। आज हम इस blog मे एक 3d command  को समझेंगेे जो कि है presspull command command. अतः चलिये देखते हैं कि  Presspull क्या है Auto Cad मे।

What is Presspull in Auto Cad in hindi?

Presspull एक ऐसा command है जिसके जरीये हम किसी model के particular section को extrude या or subtract कर सकते हैं। वास्तव मे presspull दो अलग अलग commands का एक ही command होता है, ये commands हैं auto cad के extrude और subtract commands.अतः हम इस को समझते हैं और जानते हैं कि कैसे presspull का प्रयोग extrude command या subtract command की तरह auto cad मे होता है।

How to use presspull command Auto Cad in hindi?

हम presspull के जरीये  2d shape को extrude या subtract करके 3d model आसानी से बना सकते है। अत:  presspull command को सीखने के लिए दो methods हैं जो कि हैं किसी 2d आकार को extrude करना और दूसरा किसी 2d आकार को subtracted करना। अत: हम पहले presspull के extrude command को समझते हैं।

इस method को समझने से पहले चलिये हम इस software के  User Interface को अच्छे से जान लेते हैं, जिससे कि इस  पर काम करना हमारे लिए आसान हो जाये। इस software के सबसे ऊपरी भाग मे कई Menu हैं, जैसे Home menu, Insert Menu, Annotation menu और कुछ अन्य, ये सभी menu हमे इस software के command और  tool को व्यवस्थित करने मे मदद करता है, इस सॉफ्टवेयर के बीच के भाग मे एक display window है जहाँ आप अपने किये गये काम को देख सकते हैं, सबसे नीचे आपको कुछ navigation commands मिलते हैं जो कि drawing बनाने मे हमारी मदद करते हैं।

अब हम हमारे इस command के लिए Workspace switcher option पर जाके workspace screen को बदलते है, जो कि इस software के नीचले भाग मे दाँयी तरफ है। जब आप इस option पर click करते हैं, तो एक popup list खुलती है, यहाँ से आप 3D basics option को चुनिये क्योंकि presspull command हमे  इस software के modeling sections मे मिलता है, 3d command होने के कारण।

ये 3d Basics का user interface screen है, जिसमे अलग अलग प्रकार के modeling commands हैं।

अब हम एक polygon shape लेते हैं, presspull command को सिखने के लिए Home menu के  Draw tab से, जो कि इस software के ऊपरी भाग मे है।

 अब आपसे polygon की side की value देने को कहता है जिस प्रकार का आप आकार बनना चाहते हो उसके अनुसार। हम 6 देते हैं क्योंकि हम 6 side वाला polygon shape बनयेगें और अब enter key दबायें।

अब एक point लीजिये जिसे आप इस polygon का center बनाना चाहते है, इसलिए हम एक point लेते हैं या आप कोई value भी दे सकते हो।

अब आप को दो options दिखेंगे जो कि है,  'Inscribed in circle' जिसका मतलब है कि polygon की sides आप के द्वारा दी गयी circle की radius के बराबर  होगी और दूसरा है, 'Circumscribed about circle'  जिसका मतलब है, जो polygon बनेगा वो  दी गयी  radius के circle के circumference पर बनेगा। अब आप अपने अनुसार कोई एक चुन सकते है। हम Inscribed in circle  को चुन कर keyboard कीenter key के दबाते हैं।

अब आपmouse pointer को खीसका कर hexagon बना सकते है या आप radius की कोई value भी दे सकते हैं। अभी के लिए हम  hexagon बना लेते हैं।

अब हम presspull command की मदद से 3d model बनाने के लिए view को 3d view मे बदल लेते हैं।।इसके लिए View Controls option मे जाईये जो कि software के ऊपरी बाँये भाग मे है, और इस पर click करें।

अब एक a popup list खुलेगी। इसमे से  SE Isometric view को चुनिये जिससे आप इस आकार को south east direction से देख सकें।

अब Home menu के Create tab मे  Presspull command के लिए जाईये।

अब  आप उस आकार को  select करीये जिस पर आप presspull command का प्रयोग करना चाहते हो। यहाँ हम hexagon को चुनेगें। आप इस आकार के अन्दर या किनारे पर click करके इसे select कर सकते हैं। 

आप जैसे ही click करोगे  presspull command इस आकार को 3d model मे बदल देगा। ये इस 3d model काwire frame view है।

अब आप इस आकार को दो direction मे extrude कर सकते हैं। पहलाupward directions और दूसरा down ward direction में। Upward के लिए mouse pointer in को upward direction मे  drag करें और इस तरह से extrude upward direction में बनाया जा सकता है।

Down ward direction के लिए  mouse pointer को down ward direction drag करें और इस प्रकार extrude down direction  में काम करता है।

आप अपने object को  shaded form में भी देख सकते हैं। Shaded में बदलने के लिए View Style controls option  में जाकर किसी भी Shaded option पर  click करें।

अभी के लिए हम popup list की 'Shaded with edge' option पर click करते हैं। अब आप का object इस तरह दिखेगा।

चलिए अब हम ये समझते हैं, कि presspull command से subtract कैसे करते हैं। आप फिर से polygon command Home menu के Draw tab  से लीजिए और एक pentagon इस प्रकार से पिछले steps को follow  करके बनायें। Pentagon के लिए side की value की 5 है।

फिर से  Presspull command icon पर click करके इस लीजिए और इस pentagon पर click करें। आप इसे भी upward direction में drag करके extrude कर सकते हैं।

लेकिन अगर आप इस pentagon को Hexagon से subtract करना चाहते हैं, mouse pointer कोdown ward direction में drag  करें और छोड दें। 

आप जैसे ही छोडेंगें presspull इसे  Hexagon से subtract  के देगा इस प्रकार से। 

आप आगे भी इस extrude या subtract किये हुए आकार को फिर से  presspull command की मदद से extrude या subtract कर सकते हैं।

इस प्रकार से आप  presspull command को auto cad में use कर सकते हैं और इसके parameters को अपने अनुसार बदल सकते हैं auto cad में कोई भी complex model  बनाने के लिए।
