Such a widely applicable tool to have up your sleeve -- great stuff! And I like how you consider different use cases based on what others might like to do.

I'm blown away by these tutorials, thanks so much for making them!:)

So epic ! Continue with these awesome tutorials ! Love you work dude !

I've been away from AE for a minute. Your tutorial, as always, open the doors to learning AE. I never fully understood collapse transformation, but now I will always be on the lookout of how it can change the final outcome. And the use of the merge path/shape layer just became that much more clear. Happy New Year.

Bezier Warp is my new favorite thing. Thanks for sharing. This will help me a lot at work.

awesome tut Evan!

thank you for all your tutorials, you are awesome

Nice one (as always). I thought you were going to go puppet tool at first, but you've managed to show me a new technique again. I always learn something from your tutes, thanks.

Thanks very useful

You save my life

hooray! tutorial!

This would be great as a lower third graphic!

I love getting on KZread each weekend and seeing that you've posted a new tutorial! Do you feel like doing tutorials has kept you sharp in After Effects and perhaps made you a better motion graphics designer?

I'm glad you like my stuff. Perhaps the tutorials accomplish that but I feel solving creative problems for clients is more the cause of my increased ability and sharpness. The tutorials are mostly my tried and true methods and my growth in this career happens when I must invent new things out of nothing.

you saved my life

This is prettiest

I'm practicing my Ae skills right now using this tutorial and I had a specific banner in mind for this, so I used an image banner from one of my previous projects but somehow isn't going through the null. is there a way for it to be affected?

GREAT!! I have a question. What kind of program do you use when you capture your screen? It looks very clear!

ECAbrams you are my hero... if one wanted to add a 3D look, how would they go about it? basically a shadow on the background that is true to to the movement and warping.

@ECAbrams

You could try precomping the banner then making a duplicate, filling it black, giving it a blur, lowering the opacity, and moving it about to where you feel the shadow should be cast. or try the drop shadow. I'm not sure what all you're going for in the overall look.

I'm SUPER new to AE, and still struggling with basics... BUT, can someone explain how to do this same "wavy" effect into the frame, but when the text/banner is at the center of the frame, it's straightened out? Basically have it distorted as it enters the frame, then leveled/straight across in the center. :)

witch button you press in the minute 2:12? thanks!!!!

Nice oonee

+ECAbrams I was able to create my video intro, thanks.

Man, I love your tutorials, I allways learn a looot of things... Plz can you tell what you hit at 2:12 to see all your layers at once... And is it the same thing to see your "composition view"??? Thank you very much, plz keep up your awesome work!!!

howdy. I hit the ~ key. Or maybe it's the ` key. Whatever that key is called next to the 1 on your keyboard at the top left side. That will make whatever window you're in the whole size of the screen. Then just hit the key to go back to the previous view. It's very handy.

7:39 You just got yourself a like.

the reason why i like after effects is because if you want to create really cool motion effect you don't use templates, you have to do everything from scratch. Lot more creativity.

"It will basically create a Boolean operation" Boolean is the AND/OR gates, right? How does that fit in the context?

@ECAbrams

10 жыл бұрын

The best way to see what that means for geometry is to get two circles and overlap them and then change the merge paths operation. We say "boolean" because it is saying the resultant shape is "this shape AND this other shape" or "this shape NOT this other shape" or "this shape OR this shape" or "this shape AND ONLY this other shape". The boolean operation defines the resultant vector shape geometry just like in 3d programs or illustrator's pathfinder window.

I am in the beginning stages of learning After Effects - is it easier to bring in layered illustrator vector files or build everything within AE?

@ECAbrams

9 жыл бұрын

***** the answer really depends. If you're very confident in Ai, then it'll be far simpler to start there. If you're as confident in either Ai or Ae then Ae might be the best place to start because it'll limit the things you need to do. And if you're very confident in Ae but not at all in Ai then sticking with Ae is a sure bet. There is a tutorial on this channel about importing from Ai if your'e interested that may help.

***** I do most of my artwork ahead of time in Illustrator and then import it. I've been using Illustrator for longer and I find it more productive for working with vector art.

Sir, why did i always have a different graphic shape? I've already followed all the instruction before.

@ECAbrams

I'm not totally sure what your question is. However, if when you follow the instruction of the tutorial you get a different result you should consider starting over and taking things one step at a time. Likely there is a small step you have skipped in the process somewhere.

Is it possible to make the banner circle around a 3D object?

everytime i move the polygon layer under the rectangle path the polygons are resized and i dont see an option to fix that.

I don't know why a position change would ever alter a size property. There must be more to what you're doing than you have described here. Neither do I understand why you would not be able to simply alter the size back if the size property is what is being altered.
