Backlit 3D logo

Created by: garik2garik Thank you for purchasing "Backlit 3D logo" AE template. This
guide file includes general points that you need to know in order
to customize your project and get started.

There are two versions of project in zip-file: Normal Quality and High Quality. The di erence is
in the built-in Cinema 4d Renderer settings. High Quality have a true antialiasing and better
lights but requires 2x more render time. In most cases Normal Quality is enough.
Preview video was created using Normal Quality version.

1. Import your logo and music track


You can use any text instead logo file.
Note: Your logo file must have an alpha channel.

2. Replace logo
2.1. Drag and drop your logo from Project panel
into the "LOGO" composition (delete or turn o
"Backlit logo" layer).
Scale and position your logo to the center.

2.2. Go to "LOGO trace" comp. Delete existed delete


"Auto-traced LOGO" layer. Select "LOGO" layer
and go Layer -> Auto-trce.

2.3. In pop-up "Auto-trace" menu select "Current


Frame" option. Check the "Apply to new layer"
and "Preview" checkboxes and play with "Option"
section parameters just until your logo being
carefully drawn by lines.

You can try settings as on screenshot. All logos in


preview video was made with these.
3. Edit text and tagline
Go to "Packshot | Text and Tagline" comp. Edit
text and tagline by double clicking on
appropriate layer.
Select "Packshot Settings" layer. Set the position
and size of logo in E ect Controls panel (if not
visible hit "F3" on keyboard).
You may reposition text, tagline and logo as you
want.
Note: This step only a ect the last scene where the flat
logo reveals. Logo position and size will not change in
other parts of the video.

4. Place your music track


Go to "MainComp | Render" comp. Drag and
drop the music track from Project panel.
Note: Double hit "L" key on your keyboard to show
waveform of you audio file. It helps you synchronize
video to sound if you use own music track.

5. Customizing project
In "MainComp | Render" comp select "SETTINGS"
layer and go to "E ect Controls" panel (if not
visible hit "F3" on keyboard). There are all the
necessary controls with which you can change
the look of your project.

There are markers above the timeline for quick transition


between scenes . Marker number means shot number. You
can jump to marker by pressing "1', "2", "3" etc. on a keyboard.
If it's not working go to Edit -> Preferences -> "3D" section -
just uncheck the "Use 1/2/3 ..." box.

Note: Since the proportions of the logos can vary greatly, I highly recommend to jump over the markers to see if
everything is all right before render. Adjust camera settings if necessary.
6. Render
After customization done while in the "MainComp
| Render" comp go to "Composition -> Add To
Render Queue".
Set youe settings in "Render Queue" panel (if not
visible go to "Window -> Render Queue") and hit
render.
