25 Useful Tricks in After Effects You May Not Know About - Part 3 of 5

[@NLENinjaEffects]

These trick videos you've created have taken my AE knowledge to a whole new level. I've learned so much from these. Keep up the great work.

[@ukramedia]

+NLE_Ninja Effects That's encouraging to hear. Thanks, NLE Ninja!

[@UnPuntoCircular]

Great tricks. All three videos so far have been very helpful! And that last one of parenting is AMAZING! Thanks a lot for putting this up.

[@ukramedia]

+UnPuntoCircular Thanks! I'm glad you found them useful!

[@MsAlenka1993]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the tips!!! Cant wait to see parts 4 and 5.

[@bucketheadcreativellc1302]

Whew! Lotsa of info! Again, you are quick and efficient in your explanations and navigations. Thanks.

[@ukramedia]

Thanks! That has been my goal with all of my tutorials. :-)

[@mrpixelbot498]

I've been using After Effects for almost 22 years - and I'm still learning new things, I hope to work in a lot of these into my daily workflow. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@ukramedia]

Awesome! I'm glad you found it useful! Let me know if you want to add anything else to that list.

Hey AeBlues, I created a Private Mentoring Group on Facebook and we'd love to learn from you. Here is a link to it if you want to join: facebook.com/groups/ukramedia/.

[@AeBlues]

thank you for this one. 17 - 11:18 - seems a bit dangerous habit. AE is smart enough to not give a warning if the item is not in any composition. but if it is, it will give this warning. so this is for me a sign that this item is needed somewhere and should not be deleted. the only exception to this is if the item is inside a folder in the project window so when you try to delete the folder - it will give this warning, but if you delete the item and after that delete the folder, it won't. also "Remove Unused" in File->Dependencies will delete any items that are not in any composition. 18 - 11:46 - a good one. also there's the complementary "D" Shortcut for centering your timeline to where the CTI is. 24 - 15:31 - very useful also for the 3D orthographic views (Top, right, etc.) for orientation around a big scene. instead of scrolling back the composition in the magnification ratio popup, you could select all layers and use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+/. either that or "Look at All Layers" which has no shortcut.

[@ukramedia]

Again, thanks for your useful feedback!

[@realBarthes]

[@isura.m]

thanks man

[@ukramedia]

+CodeLux theGr8 Thank YOU!!!

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

Great stuff. However, the "Edit Original" doesn't load up the project when I click on it. It loads that video clip in an external video player.

[@ukramedia]

+Victor DiGiovanni Was it rendered out of After Effects?

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

+ukramedia Yes. I pulled a test file directly out of the AME folder. Ah. But it was rendered in Media Encoder and not directly out of AE, if that makes a difference.

[@be7l858]

thank u

[@qyuto]

thnx

[@ukramedia]

+QYUTO Thank YOU!

[@vid828]

[@vid828]

+ukramedia My man

[@simondaniel5497]

Hey, please help! anyone! My 'look at selected layer' is grey, anything I do, also 'show layer controls'. My layers are 3d as shown.. I checked all the forums, spent 2 hours lookin for solution but nothing, this is my last hope. (love the videos by the way, best place to learn after effects, no needless information or wasting time)

[@Video247]

Wow!

[@ukramedia]

+How-to Bros :-)

[@theking11029]

Freakin incredible stuff dude❗️ how long did it take you to learn AE they way you know now?

[@ukramedia]

Thank you, S M! It's hard to say, I've been doing it for a very long time.

[@TVmustDIEEE]

[@ukramedia]

+TVmustDIEEE Thanks!

[@easelife]

最后一个听不懂啊。原谅没有中文我太明白这个。The last one does not understand ah. Forgive no Chinese, I understand this too much.

My twin brother Vladimir and I have started a mentoring group on Facebook where you can give and get help. Here is a link to it if you want to join: facebook.com/groups/ukramedia/

[@DNHandcrafted]

I've been watching so many of your videos this week! This tips series has been awesome for getting up to speed quickly. After watching a bunch (but not enough as I learned more this morning that would have helped me out) I put together this animation: instagram.com/p/BRKcVFUAIpe/ - it uses expressions and live text to let me set any value in Premier, and it animates to the correct dimensions. Anyway, thanks again for the great tutorials!

[@ukramedia]

Awesome! I'm glad you found it useful. By the way, I created a Private Mentoring Group on Facebook. Here is a link to it if you want to join: facebook.com/groups/ukramedia/.

[@Andrew-ji9qc]

❤

[@pantherpr1]

I'd like to watch your tutorials man but you talk too quickly as if you're teaching people who already know...

[@ukramedia]

Fredi, I apologize for going to fast. I actually do it on purpose because I'm huge on not wasting time. I figured that people can always pause the video or rewind. Thanks for giving this tutorial a try and for your honest comment!

[@ukramedia]

I'm not sure what you mean.
