Design Process

Step 1: Set Up Your Canvas

1. Remove Default Text: Begin by removing any default text from your canvas. Use a reference design if needed.
2. Add Rectangle: Hit the "Shift" key + "R" to draw a rectangle. Adjust its size and make the corners rounded by dragging the four dots at the corners.
3. Color Settings: Open color settings to choose your preferred color. You can adjust the gradient by dragging the handles diagonally.
4. Add Square: Hit "Shift" + "S" to add a square. Adjust its size to match the design requirement and position it at the top center of your rectangle. Apply gradient colors as needed.
5. Add Text: Hit "Shift" + "T" to insert text. This will be the music track name displayed under the square. Customize the font and size.
6. Create Mask: Duplicate the background shape by hitting "Ctrl" + "D". Rename it to music player mask.

Step 2: Add and Position Icons

1. Vertical Line: Create a vertical line using the rounded rectangle by hitting "Shift" + "R." Make it white and adjust its size appropriately.
2. Music Icons: Import music icons from SVG API, resize and position them on the square. Group the square and icon as music track name.

Step 3: Additional Elements

1. Hearts and Plus Icons: Add a heart icon and a plus icon, change their colors to white, and position them around the square.
2. Shuffle and Backward/Forward Icons: Add these icons, change their colors to white, and position them accordingly.
3. Pause Button: Create a pause button using two rounded rectangles. Ensure it's centered and proportionate.

Step 4: Create Animation

1. Initial Setup: Line up all layers in the timeline for about 18 seconds.
2. Animation Keyframes: Use position and scale animations for the vertical bars and arrange them to create a dynamic effect of the music playing.
3. Grouping and Mask: Once the initial design is complete, group the elements. Apply the music player mask as a track mat using the Alpha setting.

Step 5: Fine-tuning and Saving

1. Adjust Boundary: Edit the mask boundary manually to ensure no content is cut off.
2. Final Adjustments: Center the entire player on your canvas.
3. Save: Save the complete music player design into your scenes for future use.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can create an engaging and dynamic music player inside CreateStudio 3. This custom music player can bring your video elements to life, making your content more interactive and captivating.
