---------------------------------------
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.

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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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)
