  • 2. 

    Layers are the components you use to build a composition? 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Layers are indeed the components used to build a composition. In graphic design and digital media, layers refer to the individual elements or objects that are stacked on top of each other to create a final image or design. Each layer can be edited separately, allowing for more flexibility and control over the composition. Layers can include images, text, shapes, effects, and more, and they can be rearranged, hidden, or modified to achieve the desired visual outcome. Therefore, the statement "true" accurately describes the role of layers in building a composition.

    What is a camera layer?

    • It is the layer where you place audio tracks.

    • It allows you to view After Effects 3d layers from any number of angles and distances using layers called cameras.

    • It is an Effects Plug in that allows you to create 3D images.

    • None of these answers

    Correct Answer
    A. It allows you to view After Effects 3d layers from any number of angles and distances using layers called cameras.
    Explanation
    A camera layer in After Effects is a layer that allows you to view 3D layers from different angles and distances. It uses cameras to control the perspective and position of the view. This feature is useful for creating dynamic and realistic 3D compositions in After Effects.

    To animate any effects or properties I need to use ... 

    • Still images

    • Keyframes

    • Clips

    • None of these answers

    Correct Answer
    A. Keyframes
    Explanation
    To animate any effects or properties, keyframes are used. Keyframes are specific points in a timeline where the properties of an object or effect are set. By setting keyframes at different points in time, one can create smooth transitions and movements in animations. Keyframes allow for precise control over the animation process by defining the starting and ending points of each effect or property change. Therefore, to create dynamic and animated effects, the use of keyframes is essential.

    If I wanted to make size changes to the composition I'm already on I would ... 

    • Create a new Composition

    • Go to composition settings and make the changes there.

    • A + B

    • None of these answers

    Correct Answer
    A. Go to composition settings and make the changes there.
    Explanation
    To make size changes to the composition, going to the composition settings is the correct approach. This is because the composition settings allow you to adjust various parameters of the composition, including its size. By making the changes in the composition settings, you can modify the dimensions and aspect ratio of the composition according to your requirements, without the need to create a new composition or using any other options mentioned in the answer choices.

    What happens to a layer when you turn on its 3d layer switch? 

    • The Camera Layer is created.

    • The layer can then be moved and rotated along its z axis in addition to its x and y axes.

    • It allows you to import 3D images.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The layer can then be moved and rotated along its z axis in addition to its x and y axes.
    Explanation
    When you turn on a layer's 3D layer switch, it enables the layer to be moved and rotated along its z-axis, in addition to its x and y-axes. This means that the layer can now have depth and can be positioned in three-dimensional space, allowing for more realistic and immersive effects in the composition. The creation of a camera layer or the ability to import 3D images are not directly related to turning on the 3D layer switch.

    The quickest way to create a closed mask is... 

    • Luma Key

    • Rectangular/Elliptical tool

    • Pan Behind

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Rectangular/Elliptical tool
    Explanation
    The quickest way to create a closed mask is by using the Rectangular/Elliptical tool. This tool allows the user to easily create a closed shape, either rectangular or elliptical, which can then be used as a mask to isolate or manipulate specific areas of an image or video. The Rectangular/Elliptical tool provides a quick and efficient method for creating masks without the need for complex manual adjustments or multiple steps.

    When rendering out my projects, what "view" will After Effects render out?

    • Front

    • Top

    • Active Camera

    • None of the Answers

    Correct Answer
    A. Active Camera
    Explanation
    When rendering out projects in After Effects, the "view" that will be rendered out is the Active Camera view. This means that the output will be based on the perspective and composition of the active camera in the project.

    What tool would I use to create a path for my text? 

    • Text tool

    • Pan Behind tool

    • Pen tool

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Pen tool
    Explanation
    The Pen tool is used to create paths in various design software, such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. It allows users to manually draw and edit anchor points to create custom shapes and paths. Therefore, to create a path for text, the Pen tool would be the appropriate tool to use.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    If I wanted to adjust the anchor point of an object on the composition window I would use which tool? 

    • Selection tool

    • Pen tool

    • Pan behind tool

    Correct Answer
    A. Pan behind tool
    Explanation
    The pan behind tool is used to adjust the anchor point of an object on the composition window. This tool allows you to move the anchor point to a different location, which can be useful for changing the rotation or scaling point of an object. The selection tool is used to select and manipulate objects, while the pen tool is used for creating and editing paths.
