After Effects and Animation Presets
Save time and of course money by using and applying the animation presets found in After Effects. It may get a little confusing on how to apply some of these effects so here is a breakdown of the proper procedure:
Select one or more layers.
Do one of the following:
1.Select the animation preset in the Effects & Presets panel, and then drag the preset to the selected layer in the Timeline, Composition, or Effect Controls panel.
2.To apply a recently used or saved animation preset, choose Animation > Recent Animation Presets, and then choose the animation preset from the list.
3.To apply selected effects from within an animation preset, press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS), select the effects in Effects & Presets, and then drag them to the Timeline, Composition, or Effect Controls panel. If the individual effects and properties within an animation preset do not appear, choose Show Preset Contents from the Effects & Presets panel menu.
4.Choose Animation > Browse Presets, navigate to the animation preset you want, and then double-click the animation preset to apply it to the selected layer.
