    Hello from 2023, I'm working right now making courses and i need to "industrialize" the way that i use text templates in order of what the character is saying, like visual helps, and you can't imagine how your explanation solves for me the way that im going to work. I'm so thankful, can't wait for see more of what you can share with us

    I appreciate everything about this video and your teaching. Appealing and FAST intro, great teaching flow, expertise, and editing skills. I appreciate so much that your video starts at 0:00 and not 3 minutes in like every other video on every other AE topic. Thanks so much for helping to speed things up for me!

    Hello, for some reason it says 'master" property instead of essential property in the essential graphics panel. What's the difference and how do I switch it?

    ... but does this also work on text? Let's say you added the text "Primary Comp" in the Essential Graphics and make duplicates of the PRIMARY comp in the Main comp.
