The graph editor is the single most important tool you can use as an animator in After Effects, and it isn’t as difficult to understand and use as you think it is. Easy ease only takes you so far. I’m going to break down exactly how the speed and value graphs work in After Effects so you can stop being afraid to click that button and start taking control of how your layers actually move.

What I like about your tutorials is that you always focus on being holistic in your explanations, and you cover entire subjects instead of just throwing tips and tricks here and there. Well done Jake 👍
surfshark VPN has improved my motion graphics so much, the difference was immediate and shocking.

Can you explain how surfshark VPN has improved your motion graphics?

I'm sure it's from the ability to allow scripts to access the internet from one of thousands of private servers around the globe.

I came to AE as a character animator from Maya. The Maya graph editor makes complete sense and to this day I still can't figure out wtf is going on with Adobe's choices in AE. Thank you so much for this video that helps clear some things up!
Thank you Jake for making this much easier to understand! I can tell you put a lot of time into making this tutorial! Your presentation is always top-notch man.

Thank you so much! So glad I'm able to help with these explanations.
SERIOUSLY?! I literally said that word out loud in my office while watching this and I haven't even gotten to the good part. I just can't believe you threw in the fact that there's a J and K shortcut for moving between keyframes... After years of AE I feel like a complete n00b. Thanks for, incredibly useful (and full of important, fundamental Easter eggs) tuts!
40K VIEWS??? bro this deserves like a million views!!! By far the best graph explaining i've ever watched, also that intro 😩😩😩😩😩😩😳😳😳
Great tutorial again Jake. You explain complicated AE controls very simply thankyou......
Huge thanks man! 7 years of motion design and I’ve never understood the value graph as clear as now. Oh, and you guessed it right: having things bounce around and do complex motions with the speed graph only is a bloody sport, to say the least :D
A video on graph editors never gets too old. Thanks jake!!
I already use both, mostly the speed graph, but I still learned a few more things about the behavior. And I think you explained in wonderfully! 🎉✨
Super helpful! Even though I knew many of these concepts, this video helped bring them all together so I understood them better. Thank you!
Your video is amazing! U've turned a daunting tool like graph editor into a crystal clear instrument to create great motion fx. Thank you! U've basically "easy-eased" the whole graph editor. Magic!
Coming from the 3D world, I always prefer the Value Graph because it is just second nature and makes much more sense to me. However, I believe a speed graph is a great tool to focus on the animation's velocity without thinking about all the other parameters. I'll try to use it more after watching this tutorial. Thank for that Jake. My two wishes would be that the Value Graph in AE would be more powerful, like it is in any 3D software (AE's is washed out version of it), and that all 3D apps would have some kind of Speed Graph; that would make life much easier.
This video was terrific man. I've always been jealous of those super clean text moves people do, but always too forgetful to actually go back and learn the graph. Much appreciated.
Fantastic explanation, and I really appreciate the chapters. Thanks for doing the work to put this out!
I use the speed graph a lot, and I think I'm pretty good at it, but that effects set you have to view the "onion skin" of the animation blew my mind. I'm going to use it a lot!
This tutorial is the best value you will ever get from a KZread tutorial
The quality of your videos, the great teaching method and way of explaining things are very very nice, thank you Jake :D
Never really understood the speed graph and this definitely helps. Good to know that they both have times where they are more useful than the other.
Jake I literally came home to try and move forward with my study of animation and after effects that I am pushing to be my carreer....and then I open youtube to try to have some coffee and rest a bit from my day and baaam! This video. You cannot image how much I learn and take from your videos. You are school and you are power! Love ya!
Where were you when I was in Graphic Design course at my college?? This is amazing! 3 years working with AE and I never liked the graph editor too much because I was just winging it, but now. You are my hero
Thank you for the tutorial, it helped me a lot to understand the graph editor overall and the diference between the 2 variations!
Thank you so much for this! As someone who is self-taught, these tuts always help me improve things that I didn't know needed improving.
thank u, I hand't been able to get it before, exited to practice
I took some of your classes in skillshare. I've learned a lot from those classes and I'm always learning new things from your videos.
Been using the speed graph only till now. But this video definitely changed my mind. Thnx!
Hey Jake, I've been following you for about 5 years and you helped me a lot! I started out as a graphic designer and gradually transitioned (pun intended) to my new position as full-time motion designer. Thank you so much for explaining the trade so calmly and keeping it interesting!
Good tutorial. Especially the explanation about how sometimes Value Graph is better and sometimes Speed Graph. I only used Speed Graph until now, but I will look into it more now.
You are a breath of fresh air. I’ve seen lots of tutorials and most of them suck, to say the least. Anybody who needs to understand the graph editor this is about as good a tutorial as I’ve ever seen. Your explanation is clear and concise, there’s no rock music in the background, you’re not making jokes, it is a near perfect tutorial. First time I’ve ever discovered you… I need to see more from you.
I feel like somewhat of a fanboy at the moment. Goodness alone knows why I have only just found you, but it's like I need you in my life now! Just finished your Expressions course on SkillShare and now heading off to the Animating with Ease class - thank you so much for such amazing tutorials.
Literally my 13th Jake B video that I've bookmarked for constant reference. And like the others...will most likely be going back to time and again. Great lesson for, like, everyone!
havent started after effects yet, but i love tto watch its videos and it was wonderfully explained. hopefully i will watch it again when i start using after effects
Well presented and informative without being overwhelming. Thanks!
I mean you’ve been one of the best tutorialists on KZread-not just in the motion design/ae space, but just in general-for a while now, however this might be my favorite video of yours yet. As someone who’s been working with ae for over a decade, and was for a good chunk of that time scared of the graph editor and especially the speed editor, this video is a revelation. you’ve clarified a couple of details here that have been driving me mad forever, and illuminated the “whys” on which to use and when. Just a champion of a channel, thank you so much

fantastic tutorial
Thank you so much for this super helpful video! Now I can sleep peacefully knowing I can edit better!!
I don't know if I'd understand everything that's shown in this video after a second watch but with just one watch my fear of graphs is gone. kudos to your explanation.
I just had a realization and because of this realization, I regret not listening to my calculus teacher about sine waves. In the speed graph, the farther you are to the base linear line, the faster the rate of change over time. The more near the graph is to the linear line, the slower it becomes. Same with the value graph, but instead of the linear line as the base, the keyframes becomes the focal base. The farther the curve line is to the y-position of the keyframes, the less frames it produces and is less packed, more separated. --- the nearer the curve line is to the y-position of the keyframes, the more frames it produces and the more packed it becomes.
Oh my god, my brain is exploding inside my skull, but I start to understand graph editor. Probably need to watch this 5 more times🤣 Big thanks!
great tutorial
So informative, thanks a lot!
awesome! thanks for the video

Thankkkk uuu
Excellent explanation. Exactly what I was looking for. I am gonna subscribe and like. Btw for the part that why we can not edit position in value graph and we have to separate them. Its because there are two types of properties for Position,Scale, Rotation and Opacity. Position and scale are biaxial because they have two axis X and Y whereas opacity and Rotation are single axial. To edit the values of biaxial e.g. position and scale, we have to separate them so we could work on them separately in value graph.
Thank you.
Just discovered your channel! awesome videos and very easy to follow! would love a tutorial on Newton 3

Welcome to the best rabbit hole ever. It won’t be long before you’ll feel like your day isn’t complete until you’ve heard the intro music at least once. Jake has perfected The KZread Tutorial but I can’t, for the life of me, pinpoint what makes them so great. I suppose it simply comes down to so many things being done so well (e.g. pace, lighting, sound, delivery, etc)
