the key to fluid motion in after effects - the speed & value graph
The value and speed graph were one of those things that I'd heard of in the past but never actually used because I was getting along just fine without them. But once I actually started playing around with the graph editor, I realized what kind of smooth motion tools I was just refusing to learn! After Effects isn't the only program with a graph editor either, so these skills will transfer to loads of other programs like Premiere, or even Blender if you're into 3d animation.
One word of caution though, when I first started using the graphs I quickly found out how awesome the "one handle technique" for the Speed Graph was and didn't really use the Value Graph because of it. DON'T make the same mistake I did. Now I'm not saying don't use the Speed Graph, I'm just saying make sure to practice with the Value Graph too so that you can use them both together effectively.
Ok, that's all I had to say! Thanks for watching, thanks for reading, and I hope I was able to help you out!

learning how to use the value graph in after effects is sometimes a little daunting at first, but once you get past the initial confusion of how it works it's really an amazing tool to create better transitions in after effects. If learning how to use the value graph is a little too complicated you can always learn how to use the speed graph! The speed graph in after effects let's you accomplish a lot of cool easy transitions and edits without having to do much at all! It's straight up magic!

Agree!
Woah! This seems way to professional for a first video. Great tutorial!

Thanks! it's my first tutorial but I've been editing professionally for a while now! I first learned how to edit by watching tutorials, so I thought its about time I continue the cycle and help others learn to edit as well
great info! 6:42 the scaling issue is because scaling needs to be set to Exponential (maybe there's an expression for this, but you can do it through the Animation tab), but the Z position trick works great

@@distortedboy2489 I don't know about how to make it fast, but try this : 1. Read the Ae manual 2. Do lots of tutorials like this 3. Make what you see on the tutorials 4. Share your learning and knowledge with others
The ending got my sub!

Thanks for taking a gamble with your subscription feed! ;)
Great video - I wish this was uploaded a few years back haha, pretty sure there's people out there selling courses that cover this over two hours. You smashed it, nice and concisely. Thanks.

On it!
haha Good humor and I learned something. I like that you showed us how you applied it to an actual project (that was concise and straight to the point). Subbed!
i think i have found my nr 1 guy for AE tutorials. love it so much!
Love the careful explanation and super clear descriptions!! Thanks, friend!
you got me to subscribe because of your counter argument. you deserve it! Kidding aside though your tutorial is very informative and easy to understand. thanks for this!
Thank you so much for this. I've only ever used the speed graph because I never really understood the value graph. Which is a shame because it's really useful and i never took adventage of that. Other videos i've watched just explained it as the same as the speed graph so I just though 'Well might as well just use that one', but this video was very clear and easy to understand! Great job!
You deserve everything good under the sun! Finally I learned out how to at all get to fix the problem of accelerating speed.
You know what man, that counter argument got me good, you some kinda lawyer? Liked and subbed.
Bro All your videos are amazing
best ae tutorial ever i already pretty much mastered value graphing but didnt understand the purpose of the speed graph to well thank you
I just yelled SO DAMN LOUDLY that my girlfriend woke up because I saw your "F9" hotkey comment 1 minute into the tutorial. Why didn't I know that shortcut? No clue, but now I do and I am so frustrated at myself for all of the work I've had to MANUALLY do over the last few projects. Thanks! -Via Reddit.

Haha yeah I’m right there with you, I both love and hate the feeling when I discover there’s a faster way to do something I’ve been doing for AGES!
hahaha this is an amazing tutorial. Looking forward to more, cheers
On the point where you brought up the issues that scaling footage beyond ~300%, I might know why but its just a guess. Since the scale value is % based, lets say the difference between value 1% and 10% is a huge increase, but the difference between lets say 1000% and 1010% isn't as substantial. So there is this curve or gradual fall off which probably could be solved with an expression but I am too lazy to figure it out. Cool solve with the 3D part.

Facts shmacts, you can use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true. Seriously though, your explanation makes sense to me... I think.
Did adobe change the way speed graph works with seperating dimensions. I cant fluidly use speed graph on all 3 it forces me to control them seperately
Hi sir and how about the intro of this video , can you do a tutorial of it ?
I really enjoy the pacing and delivery of information in your tutorials. Would you be interesting in doing a collab at some point? You deserve more subs man.
late comment but what's the difference between cc repetile and motion tile?
@AcademyOfEdits

With repetile we can specify which edge to extend as well as which tiling mode (different ways to extend) But in motion tile we're expanding the width or the height so we can't be edge specific and there aren't tiling options other than mirror or don't mirror, also motion tile usually takes longer to render! Motion Tile does have it's uses but for just a simple scene extension like this Repetile is the way to! Hope that helps :)
Hi. As much as I love your tutorials, it sometimes get a bit fast and incomprehensible for me to catch up. Could you please try working on this one point? Would be really helpful
I like your cadence. Your voice doesn't grate on my ears, and that's very important for this type of thing.
make more tutorials
