For this tutorial I would be creating two scenes from a fairytale which showcase facts and figures from the story. I drew my two scenes and an additional this which will be used in the middle as a scene wipe between the two. I used simple colours and shapes to represent the two characters, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf as colour is a key part of the story (for example the emphasis on Red Riding Hoods red cloak).
I imported the two main scenes into After Effects as two separate five second compositions. I created the text in After Effects int he case I want to add effects later. These effects could include the preset effects, the common ones used are the animate in and out effects.
For my transition I decided not to use the wipe, but to create a click effect where a button is pressed, and on release it snaps to the next scene. I made a few adjustments as it was slow and sluggish at first and did not have the snappy click motion I wanted. I also made adjustments to the transition of text to give it a comfortable pace to be read.
To finish I combined both comps in a ten second render composition. I checked the transition was smooth and then rendered to HD.
