3 Powerful Tips for After Effects Beginners - Instant Look Upgrades

[@ninanavina10]

This has to be the most well explained video regarding keyframes, speed graphs, easy ease etc. I'm completely new to AE and trying to learn it on my own. Thanks for explaining the logic behind everything being done! Makes it so much easier to understand and remember! This helped so much!

[@Yougetwhatyoudeserve95]

School of motion is doing some great stuffs man!😀

[@sehbaanabbasi]

i i watch your vids and i like the fact that u guys put anchor points in the intros

[@TheRimma1987]

The best chanel for beginners. Thank you!

[@veightyone]

wow, adjustment layers explained plain and simple, can't wait to try them out now

[@youtubereact_v1]

Tip no 2 BEST, BEST, BEST!!!!!!!

[@bashirahmad4889]

I am new to your channel, you are a great mentor. Stay blessed you and your family.

[@Boipelo]

So great! Thanks

[@mohsen1]

awesome, thanks for sharing these techniques

[@hevaslan]

Oh, boy, I just found this channel of yours and I'm just totally loving it. So pleasant and easy to catch up.

[@callmejolee]

That last tip was so simple, but kind of life changing. 😂😂😂

[@thinkpixelsblog]

Totally agree!

[@gonoszcerkof]

So damn stupid, yet effective... Never REALLY crossed my mind and I've been doing this shit for nearly 2 decades. 😄

[@jeremyzhu8885]

totally think the same

[@Gasconauxolives]

Activate the motion blur on the layers and it will become even more seamless

[@hvrtado]

I agree!! lolol

[@noicerone]

You rocked sir!

[@amansharma9060]

I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ESPECIALLY YOUR INTRO♥

[@CGCafe]

Simple but to the point. Thx bro.

[@Amandeepsingh1313]

Thank you sir for teaching your way of explanation is SIMPLE CATCHY . IM INTERESTED IN YOUR COURSE

[@Researcher_Ryan]

Adding a motion blur on the last effect would make it seem more seamless imo. Especially with the rotation one. I think adding a motion blur to most kinetic graphics is a good way of showing realism on top of giving you more ways to "hide" things.

[@df.design]

exactly. thx for this

[@f.herumusu8341]

Without friction physics says that the curve of velocity for the ball should be a straight line as v=a*t+v_0 and a equals g=-9.81 m/s^2 in this case if your axis points in upward direction.

[@gellayo9885]

Cooool!!! Thanks a lot! And YES - we want more tutorilas like this! please )))

[@conormurphy7058]

[@Ayman-BP]

Thank you very much

[@chadiwack]

Thank you for making this. Always happy to see your vids. I always leave knowing more. Easy to watch and enjoyable.

[@eswarkumarkantheti]

Thank you for sharing. Very Nice!

[@dataminedatamine6445]

Just stepping up from Camtasia so this is very useful. I'm determined not to fade stuff again!

[@varic]

Thanks a lot! Can you help me with one little thing: my Graph Editor looks different from yours. What version of AE you used for this?

[@camelkett]

I had this issue too. When you are in your graph editor, click on the little " bullet point list" icon on the bottom, just to the right of the Eye icon. Select speed graph from there. Then it will look like this video.

[@dilpreetsingh197]

Great tutorial Nol!

[@avinashsurve2898]

Thanks for this video

[@shamirareddy754]

I prefer to do the cut with hold keyframes on the opacity. .. and link the opacity to the other with an easy expression; 100 - the other layers opacity; that way they invert eachother

[@sirleysla]

thank you! so useful...

[@bySterling]

Great tips! Curious if the final beachball effect can be saved as an action/easing effect?

[@dvhughesdesign]

Very useful tips. Thank you.

[@joakimkempff9313]

Three excellent tips! Thanks!

[@thenickmurphy13]

Does anyone know how the path keyframes are created for the squares in tip two? I am trying to create a box like that.

[@ThisOLmaan]

[@djsartstudio9506]

This looks great! However, How did you get it to play the preview?! Wow! Lol yeah, very simple, but its what keeping me from learning the app and finishing a very important project. its not play backing my work (apparently a common issue? I have a pretty good and new macbook pro too)....any tips on that?

[@posebukse]

Is it compulsory for School of Motion-people to say «alright» all the time?

[@avinashsurve2898]

Thanks

[@satyabanukil779]

Sign in window disappears when the side scroller is moved. So try to fox this first. Otherwise the download option is of no use.

[@MohitGupta-zm9vk]

you are awesome

[@andydreadsbmx]

Is the default motion blur considered amateur?

[@anishxxi]

Opening clip 🤣🤣 I'm dead

[@mashevee]

I'm not getting handles for the keyframe for the first tip, using AE 2020, any help guys?

[@workingdeadstudio7736]

Try clicking on the alt/option key while approaching the keyframe. Your cursor should look like an angle and from there, you can drag the handles from nowhere. You should also try easing your frames first using F9 shortcut or ctrl/cmd+shift+K to give them specific values. If it is still not working, sometimes AE is buggy about the handles for the position keyframes. One way to get around is by separating your dimensions (right-click on the position property > separate dimensions). I hope it helps!

[@Hexspa]

Can adjustment layers mess with effects of layers below? I did an animation with warp and rotation but when I tried using an adjustment layer for global warp, it stopped my rotation. Instead, I had to apply the new warp effect to each individual layer; time consuming.

[@cvkeo]

you could have added the rotation keyframes to the adjustment layer instead

[@Hexspa]

@@cvkeo Thanks. I'll have to return to your comment because I forgot what I did in the project. Cheers.

[@aguimaraens]

Wonderfull

[@MilanPetrovic1987]

Damn when I saw that Mickey Mouse jitter with that 12fps BOOOi that was so simple and sweet. Thank you sir! Blessings of Akatosh upon ye

[@routezeroco979]

I’ve recently got back to using after effects and I tried doing the first tip with smoothing the key frames out, but when I go to the graph with that button and click the key frames, the handles to smooth them out don’t appear, I can’t figure out why. I did what u did and still not working.

[@RobFike]

Kyran Are all keyframes bezier? If you have any diamonds highlighted (linear) it may not work.

[@routezeroco979]

Rob Fike no I’ve used after effect for quite a while. I’ve put them to easy ease, ease in, out. Nothing works

[@cmdcreativity]

Make sure you’re in the Speed Graph editor mode. You may be in the value editor. Let me know if you’d like further help!

[@manaforero]

@@cmdcreativity I have not been able to figure this out either... :( If someone could help I'd be so grateful! Instead of an upside-down U shape, I see a S shape and no handles either

[@wekagreens1040]

thank you

[@manaforero]

The AE project file doesn't let me save any changes. Is that what's happening for everyone else?

[@itskamiar]

Do you get an error of some sort? Can you be more specific?

[@dominikfath6324]

alt + [ + ] doesnt work on my keyboard, i use a german one, and the programm is german too. how can i fix that? I only use Strg + Shift +D to cut and copy and that delete the one i dont need. would nice if you have the answer for that mysterious paradoxon or so. :P

[@harenthiran]

I think you should assign custom shortcuts. Most of the shortcuts not available by default expect English US. So I add small printed En US keyboard layout sticker every key on my french keyboard and use as it is by default.

[@yousawnothing644]

If you'd like, go to the Edit Menu > Keyboard Shortcuts towards the bottom of the menu. A screen with a keyboard should pop up, now just search "Trim Layer" and you should see the keyboard shortcut pop up and what it is bound to for your language.

[@paulvansommeren]

What's the "Animation Preset" under Posterize Time?

[@PrithviSingh]

How to create that rectangle animation from tip 2

[@savagarnie]

Change the value of axis Y scale but don't forget to uncheck the constrain propotion, or Create Shape from vector layer, or Convert To Bezier Path if u make rectangle from Rectangle Tool.

[@tahaboukemia1434]

thank you soooo much ... watching you from Algeria and I find your free tutorials really helpful ... cuz I can't afford the courses from here ... we don't have E-payment :'(

How/where can I update R18 to r21?

The roughen edge doesn't work for me at all, I tested with 3 different projects!

[@valagoftari8298]

You have to add it on the text and it works

[@evm6177]

Neat tutorial lots of respect sir.. Still my rant to Adobe (as usual) what use is an entire library of the effects panel with no individual thumbnail preview like in oh i don't know perhaps powerpoint! seriously dude Adobe WTF...#?!

[@naveenmukkatt5031]

I feel like such a thing would cause a lot of computer problems.
