Question 3

start off / start out

Answer 3

verb, to start a journey. Let’s start out by assuming that you have AE opened and have created a comp.

Question 4

Answer 4

Question 5

Answer 5

verb, dinh vi. Because AE will let you navigate to them in the “Run Script” menu

Question 6

manipulate

Answer 6

Let’s look at the first line of code in detail: myComp = app.project.item(1); in this line, we’re create a variable named “myComp” that we can use to access and manipulate attributes of our comp.

Question 7

Answer 7

noun, ky hieu, loi ghi chu

Question 8

i.e.

Answer 8

it est, that is. “app” is the scripting notation for the application (i.e. After Effects).

Question 9

reference

Answer 9

verb, refer to. So, to summarize, the first line of our script say create an object name “myComp” that references the first item in the project window.

Question 10

omit

Answer 10

Let’s move on the next line, here it is again: mySolid=myComp.layers.addSolid([1.0,1.0,0],”my square”,50,50,1); ?”duration” is the duration of the layer(in second). If you omit this parameter (as we did) the layer’s duration will be the same as the comp’s.

Question 11

abbreviate

Answer 11

verb, lam ngan. In fact, the abbreviated version of the script will do exactly the same thing: app.project.item(1).layers.addSolid(?);

Question 12

adj, rong, trong rong ben trong. Now let’s see how could we modify this code to create a hollow square by adding a mask to the solid.

Question 13

convention

Answer 13

noun, su thoa thuan ngam, quy uoc, tuc le, le thuong, hiep dinh. The code we’ve previously discussed is shown in a darker color - the code we’ve just added is in white. That?s a convention I’ll maintain throughout the site.

Question 14

Answer 14

As you see, the mask has been added and our square has a whole punched in it. Verb, noun, dam, thoi, thui, khoan, bam lo tren ve, dong dinh.

Question 15

verb, noun, cong tac, phoi hop. A shape has four attributes associated with it that define the outline of the mask.
