At last a tutor that doesn't just march through a series of instructions and takes time to explain the theory behind the After Effects tools. Great tutorial, very helpful thank you : )

I highly appreciate you took the time to elaborate what every effect is doing in general and not just what numbers to put in. This is SO important for the learning process and many tutorials skip that part. thank you very much for the video. I feel I am a better designer now.

Love this tutorial. Doing great looking stuff by being smart with simple effects and keyframing. Every step is clear and it sparks a million ideas. Just how a tutorial should be!

+Alan Rudge glad you enjoy it.

Seriously one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. High quality thorough, informative, entertaining. Thanks for contributing.

Thanks for the great tutorials. You're the only AfterEffects dude on KZread that actually explains what things do, and it's awesome. Keep doin' what you're doin', Evan.

I absolutely love you for this. I can't express enough how amazing you are as a teacher. To the point, easy to understand, concise and thorough and always entertaining (which makes 20 mins seem like 5). So glad you made the leap away from Premium Beat for your own following. THANK YOU!!!!

You make great tutorials brother, easy to follow, fun to watch, keep up the good work!

Superb tutorials..Please never stop doing these :)

6 years later and still an AMAZING video! Thank you!

Exactly what I was after. New to using AE and this was a tutorial that helped me learn the tool better outside of just the one trick of the moment I was searching on- while still being succinct and pro and amusing. Many many thanks!!

feels like seth rogan is teaching me fractals in after effects. i love it.

This i's literally the best tutorial I have ever watched

to skip directly to the tutorial, start at 3:15.

in case you're really pressed for time and zooming through several tutorials like i was when i made this comment. i had to make an effect similar to this and was feverishly searching YT for help. i know i'm not the only one who does this. plus - you can always come back to the video and watch the whole thing. i don't know why this comment was so controversial. i like ECAbrams and watch his vids all the way through as well, but sometimes you need those extra few minutes for your deadline! let those who have never scrambled for a solution at the last minute throw the first stone, jeez.

@Carla Young uh, that comment was 2 years ago. I think she finished the job by now...

Great tutorial- fun to listen to- Evan, I love how much fun you have with this and don't take yourself too seriously. I actually want to do a tutorial video on cell division, and this was (almost) just the thing. The problem is that I want to do this with a different fill color than the stroke color, and that creates problems. Instead of the cell dividing in the middle, one kind of hatches out of the other. I applied trim paths to each circle and then offset the start and end, adding keyframes in the process to tighten it up a bit (I was pretty proud of myself for figuring this out- I'm pretty much an AE beginner) but it doesn't look as good as I'd like. Any suggestions?

thank you so much :D Very clear tutorial and I loved your funny comments during it :)

As always, great work. I've used all those filters before but never considered stacking them the way you have. Thank you for sharing.

this is great tutorial. The "give me your drugs" part had me rolling. Informative and funny. keep up the great work!

I subbed because of his personality

OMG man! the way you explain all the effect properties is so clarifying. That video worth the subscription. CONGRATS FROM BARCELONA!

Good to see you again!... I've been waiting for a while.

Great tutorial, man. I'm sometimes tasked to do biological animations and this technique will come in super handy for animating bacteria multiplication.

THANK YOU! actually a great tutorial. I got everything, the result is great, voice is great, and it is even fun to watch

Not only your tutorials are informative, they are also fun to watch! I am laughing hard ... :D "if only i knew an effect ... ohhh wait I do" :D Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful tutorial, can't wait to toy around with this! Thanks so much and keep up the great work! :)

This is the funniest tutorial I've ever seen with a lot of "Fractal wiiii"... ahahah! Cheers mate, awesome! Simply awesome!

One of the best tutorials Ive seen on here. Thank you

OMG I've been searching for this effect for a long time. I'll walk through all channel to learn more effects. (It's a little difficult to find the effects in my Chinese version of AE LOL it took me so long) Thanks for sharing.

Damn! Every time I look for a particular effect I need... BOOM there he is! Thanks so much.

This is the most amusing tutorial I've watched (funny and enjoyable) I am watching it again and enjoying every ridiculous fractal reference.

welcome back bro!!!

Excellent tutorial thank you for taking the time to do it!

This is great, thanks. I will be following more of your lessons. The fun level just went up a few notches because of your causal approach to teaching.

So flippin' good. Thanks ECAbrams!

Wondering how he did the fill up

This is a great tutorial. I really like how you explain the process in an open way rather then just making something and having to follow step by step. I feel like It's more open to interpretation of use rather then just a paint by numbers tutorial. great also fun hosting.

hi Evan - great tutorial! I wonder how would you achieve the same liquid effect but with the objects that have stroke? Thanks!

awesome tutorial, seriously man. fun and not alot of fluff. appreciate you putting this together!

You can do a effect like this more simple but with minor level of control. Just need to use a gaussian blur and level effect in a adjustment layer and boom!! you have liquid effect, precompose and change the color or whatever you want. :) Great tutorial by the way. Thanks for the knowledge.

Evan! Your charisma and teaching skills are fascinating!

Wow. I did not know that. Thanks for the info

Adjustment layer above your shapes + Fast box blur + Curves, Alpha, Hard graph - tone down adjustment layer transparency, tweak blur amount and curve graph till the liquid effect is crisp and keeping your shapes to the same size as originals. Turn up opacity to 100%. Throw in a Transform layer, play with scale, CC composite back original, to get little droplets behind your main shape movements. Also time echo can work.

Dude, you're a blessing

always fun to watch your tutorials :)

Another gem! Your tutorials are always extremely helpful. Thank you for explaining Roughen Edges so well -- I will be using those tricks for many many applications. Will also be using the dividing "cells" effect in my movie. I would like to suggest a tutorial: how to fake the "Hyperlapse" effect using video footage.

Thank you very much! Amazing tutorial, super helpful, even in 2019!

Hi Evan, loved this tutorial, keep up the great work! Very well explained and easy to understand and follow :) Just one question, (a bit off topic), I was wondering what camera you used to record the introduction to this video. It looked very good quality and I'm looking into buying a decent camera for making videos and just wondering what sort of cameras other people use. Thanks!
