Please do more tutorials on After effect. I have already watched your courses on Skillshare. You are great.
Your tuts are articulate, concise, and engaging. Well done Jake, you get my subscription!
Mannnn. I have got in the habit of watching your videos even if I think I know something about the subject. Global controls on a null! I was using solids, this changes everything. Thanks Jake!
Ur style of teaching are so good, you take things from mere basics to advance in no time.
Jake all your tuts are great, training new juniors and was literally about to make a video covering exactly this and now I can just link to you're channel instead. Thanks so much man!
"Copy with Property Links" this is really helpful. Was wondering there would be a way to do this and now I got it. This is why I watch your videos even though I know the concept very well (Null Object in this context)! You are insane, Jake. Keep helping us!!
Jake, thank you so much for these cool tuts. You are a really great teacher!
Jack your teaching strategy just mind bowing.
Great tutorial. Just heard about the multiple null tricks (I've been using one null and doing it all manually). Thankfully you've made an amazing tutorial. Ps. I love your skillshare classes too
Excellent I love the way you explain things, keep going !
I have followed you since Skillshare, thanks for the useful content! Keep on going
You are the best out there! Keep them coming!
Daaaang, Jake! So glad you started these mini videos. Especially this one. I had a vague idea what Null Objects were previously. This video was perfect in helping me understand them much more. I'm jazzed to find a way to start using them.

Thank u! I love your tutorials, u explain the principals of each after effects buttons)!
Your works are really helpful. Keep up with the good work. And thank you very much to share all these useful contents.
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO! I had some doubts about null objects, but you cleared them up... you're the man. Keep the good content. Subscribed! :D Greetings from Mexico ;)
Nice share, thanks! First time opening AE and I just wanted to bring one video/object in to scene with the motion of a different video layer and I stumbled on some skater dudes video with literally millions of subs. This guy taught less in 24 minutes than you accomplished clearly and concisely in the first 2 minutes. Thanks again, I will sub and check out your other content and videos.
Excellent tutorial, dude. Keep 'em coming!
A few years ago this video helped me SOO much! I just watched it again. Very helpful!
great tutorial!! helped a lot since i’ve been wanting to learn about null objects more :)
Thanks so much. I really enjoy your (skillshare and youtube) classes.
Subscribed! Well done - that was great and I learned quite a deal. Keep it up Jake
Thank you Jake - great tutorial !
Thanks, I learn a lot of new stuff! Great tutorial!

Really Really Great for Sharing Thanks sir!

Thank you! Now I understand after many videos of explanations, time and patience of understanding null effects. :))
You need more subs bruh, the video was very informative ♥️
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Jake! ps-I found you through the Ukramedia podcast.
hey Jake!! this was amazing helpful tutorial. Can you also do a tutorial of shape morphing? Like a cartoon game console changes, transforms to a rocket sort of?
Amazing tutorial!! Thanks
Thank you! this was great!
Keep going bro, waiting more from you :)
This was so helpful, thanks
Why didn't I think about using Null objects to control effects on mutliple layers before!!! So useful thank you.
outstanding tutorial!
Subbed. Helpful video :) thanks mate
Great video! thanks
Great! Thank you!
It was awesome. Thank u
REally Great.Thank alot
FANTASTIC TEACHER.
Very nice, especially the part where a null can globally control effects, I had no idea! Thanks.
Great tut
Thanks, Jake!
skillshare and youtube channel awesome
the best teacher on youtube
for a second i was only listening and tought that your voice tone sounds very similar to Andrew Kramer from VideoCopilot. Great tut BTW.
This was fantastic.

Thanks, Jake! You are always super thorough and easy to understand. I am trying to do this same sort of animation with a pill-shaped object. Would you use null objects the same way for it to roll on the pill edge or is there a different technique?
Thank you!
I can't believe I didn't know about copy property links. actually I totally believe that, I learn something new about After Effects everyday. Still, this tutorial is invaluable and you are great.
Great work Jake and no thumbs down as of 11-5-18!
this is great thanks but just still curious -- couldnt we do the same animation with just the redbox layer? instead of null? or will there be a slight difference?
Amazing explanation about null objects...
This must be the clearest tutorial I have watched.
Super helpful
Thanks! Nice and clear tutorial! And I have a question, how could you add the Noise HLS around the box? When I added the noise HLS effect, the noises are everywhere inside the box and ground. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for this-sheesh-I thought the basic mechanics of the rolling/bouncing box, as you show here, would be the simplest built-in thing in AE. It ain't-but at least I can do it now. Cheers!
This Video Is the most perfect one about understanding Null Objects
I love this one ! I have a question how to create squash and strech with expressions ?

That's a great question! I've actually created a tutorial on how to make an advanced squash and stretch rig over at School of Motion: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4eVsJaydcXWZ6w.html
Man if you make video about expression that would be lot's helpful for us , specially for me!🧡❤😀
Here is a Badge called "Respect" from me. :D I thought I knew how to use null objects until I saw this video. I watched it at 1.25 Speed because I'm not an absolute beginner. So, Thank you. I subbed you.
really cool, if you hold ctrl while moving the null it snaps to the edges of the cube
best tutorial ever at 0:33 seconds of the video find the answer!!! where are the null object? thank you
tq bro ..
Thanks for the Tutorial, I have a question I saw a artwork But i didnt understand how they did test. End Of the artwork the shape goes left and slowly be imvisible, it was similar to 3d. Can I send the artwork to you ? You can look and say to me.
Jake, I find the tool "Link Focus Distance To Layer" useful, but it's only available for two-node cameras. Since I'd like to stick with one-node cameras, is there a workaround to achieve this basically auto-fous tool? Thanks.
8:31 so helpful thanks!
Thanks
Well done. Do you know why nulls look different between creating a new null vs. dragging a previously created null from the project panel in to a comp? I realize creating new nulls is very little overhead, but I like to reuse things when I can - and dragging a null from the project panel shows solid, set opacity to 0 to match a created null but the box doesn't show?
This video is change my editing in ae 💖💖💖💖🔥🔥
Great krate-throwing ;-) Is there a tutorial about using null-objects to create a simple arm rig? I have 3 layers (upper arm + forearm + hand) and would like to make sort of an ik-rig without duik bassel or rubberhose. Just like a jumping jack?
Thanks for explaining! Mystery unmystified
Can you suggest me about installing element on after effects cc 2015. I tried but failed. Getting error messages.
Hey Jake, just subscribed. Do you think you could make a future tutorial on Track Mattes. I got the basic understanding of what they are but I still find them a bit confusing and not knowing when/ how to properly use them. Thanks.

Thanks for this tutorial Please am very new in graphics generally please i need some to tutor me all through graphics journey please i need more of you sir thanks.
Help so when I try to do a zoom transition I press s on my Mac for scale and when I do it just says "scale” and it doesn’t show the numbers so basically I can’t zoom in
you got me a bit confused there when you deleted the first null object, I didn't notice until you added the second one but overall thanks
Jake can you DEMYSTIFY animation curves in AE (DEEP DIVE) video I'm so curious about it

Very good one. Made 15 minutes look like 5! What would happen if I haven´t separated dimensions whilst animating?
Hello everybody, I have question about null object. I need to move different layers in my composition. But some layers are previously connected with a null objet. When i create a new null object for the same layers, the old link is break. Question : Can I use two nulls for on layers. Of cours if it's not possible, how can i get around the problem ? Thanks
Hey Jake. Forgive the dumb question, but how did you achieve the ground effect?
How do we know which null to parent with which? I'm asking about the parenting direction.
Nice rolling box Jake! Can you roll an egg though??!?!?!
thankyou! please do keep sharing such stuffs. thanks
