[@AustinThomasFilms]

Andrew Kramer doesn't learn Adobe After Effects, After Effects watches tutorials to learn Andrew Kramer.

[@sourcefilms1224]

Honestly, Andrew Kramer is turning into the Chuck Norris of VFX. Love it so much, he deserves it for all of the work he does and teaches for free.

[@marci_99.]

Can anyone send me the editable after effects file ? I followed everything and my animation still doesnt look like that.

[@AustinThomasFilms]

I'm almost done with my version, can I get an email to send to?

[@marci_99.]

[e-mail] Thank you very much, really appreciate it. Was seeing some of your videos, looked all great. Gonna leave a subscribe and give recommendations. Thank you!

[@JesseIson]

same, mine looks way bad! will you send me a copy aswell please!? [e-mail] thanks

[@thevfxwizard7758]

Man, I wish there were other channels half as good as yours. Your solutions to complex problems are so elegant and produce AMAZING results.

[@Mafr0]

Unreal tutorial. I'm amazed at how deep your experimentation must go to find the combination of settings you use to get such awesome detail. Always impressive!

[@e11world]

This is the reason you're still the KING OF AE. Still manage to impress every single AE user with your talent and simple ways of doing extremely amazing stuff. Thank you always Andrew!

[@creamlass]

Man... I've been in AE almost every day at work for like 6 years. I'm familiar with the program in and out, and am still really impressed by the artistry used in combining these effects to create really nice stuff. Goes to show- it's about art direction and creativity- not learning programs.

[@JayeshSarvaiya]

The depth of your knowledge, understanding of effects and experimentation level just blew my mind !!! Hats off to you work and dedication. Amazing Artist, please keep posting. 😀👍

[@luiscosme1154]

I purchased your stuff way more than 10yrs ago. Happy to see you're still doing your thing!

[@AAvfx]

Best tutorial on Earth!

[@shenablogs2234]

Yeah bro

[@bucephalus1635]

Another top tutorial; Thanks, man. I'm sure I speak for many when I say I've learnt more about After Effects and it's capabilities from Andrew Kramer/Video Copilot than any other source by far! Hats off, sir, I am indebted.

[@necromonger2391]

Definitly agree!!! .....and this like 4 years later as well

[@SunnyApples]

Andrew knows AE better than Adobe!

[@ChocolateHabanero22]

Sure does!

[@FourmyMediaGroup]

Hahaha so true :-)

[@ameygonbare]

Sunny Apples it's true

[@harveytupamahu5013]

you right!

[@MekdelaTube]

[@DirtyDenaDubStep]

I've missed your tutorials. When ur 10 minutes in and already have gone back a dozen times to soak up all the amazing techniques you've created.... killin the game g

[@ioncamin5]

Been working on this for a couple of hours,the feeling you get when u are done is unique...Thanks Andrew!You are a God

[@VincentG991]

How can someone thumbs down this? Smashing information right here. Those people really must have hit rock bottom with stone cold hearts.

[@cuisined]

The level of god-like editing. you blow my mind every new video you post.

[@hertz6314]

You're always so clear how to combine all the effects to create what you want. That is what I need to learn from your tutorials. You're genius, OMG!

[@Fractal_CZ]

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Hard to believe everyone should do this back in 2001 :D without any other plugins. Respect!

[@avnishparker]

The Best.. ❤️❤️❤️ I can watch it all day. ✌🏼✌🏼

[@lagfx9]

like your tutorials too

[@ameygonbare]

Avnish Parker like you work too

[@genovajonas]

I just watched your new tutorial

[@abrincsaiju9842]

[@NYC2SOCAL2024]

I'm going to HAVE to just to keep up! :)

[@undarkwin]

It is just pure beauty! No words for this! Thank you!

[@bucephalus1635]

Andrew Kramer is becoming the Saul Bass of the 21st Century!

[@kellymonster5513]

still too complicated to me

[@Krunal_in_Milan]

its been almost 10 years I am following you Andrew!! you are the reason why I am a skilled VFX artist today!! keep it up! Big fan!

[@ChadVick]

This and every AK tutorial is still so relevant. I miss the excitement waiting for new tutorials, but Andrew's sense of humor is still on point.

[@VibrantDesigns]

The amount of possibilites in AE is just mind blowing!

[@Sysel.]

I would really love to write a comment about how awesome this video/tutorial (and ofc other tutorials) is (are), but I just don't have words for that...

[@ZeroHp-]

This was my first animation project and it turned out perfectly. Easy to find adjustments to suit the specific needs of my title animation. Wow. Thank you so much for providing this amazing resource!

[@nathanfitzpatrick3152]

Hey man you have no idea how much your videos have helped me with AE. Layering everything off of the alpha channel to work procedurally, and the tips/tricks are worth more than any course or any video on youtube as I find myself returning to them frequently! Thank you much for sharing!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Great stuff as always Andrew. Can’t wait to rust some stuff up in my next video! Thank you!

[@sottozen]

Speechless... again :)

[@prodimaginefilmdesigners8615]

A mix of technique and art, thank you Andrew for sharing your knowledge for so many years.

[@cikacido9185]

I can't even begin to comprehend how you come up with these tricks and ideas. This is above Hollywood level and it's all done through After Effect! I feel like I should be paying you for this tutorial

[@gianflavio_]

the Chuck Norris of after effects

[@sdesignss]

Super as always, you are such greate artist.

[@fredaves268]

Sorry I'll write in french : Votre travail et votre envie de partager vos compétences est extraordinaire. Je suis sincèrement bluffé par vos tutoriels, votre technique et les résultats que j'obtiens grâce à vous. Merci du fond du cœur !

[@damianclarkson]

Kramer's cranium is off the charts. So creative and intelligent. Awesome work as per usual!

[@hedbonker5604]

Holy crap! Did Hollywood fire you and now you have time for tutorials? :) LOVE your stuff Andrew!

[@Ayman-tk9bq]

Mike Flynn ,No he fired hollywood.

[@ahitler5592]

he made the moon landing

[@hedbonker5604]

And deservedly so!

[@sourcefilms1224]

Hollywood does not fire Andrew Kramer. Andrew Kramer fires Hollywood. (-;

[@caesarcandra5438]

Savage AF

[@Divineshot]

My day is made! 😍😊

[@marci_99.]

Can you send me the editable after effects file ? I followed everything and my animation still doesnt look like that. Something the creation of the cracks and grass is wrong and I made it already the second time.

[@zahlex]

Omg, 50 minutes of VC goodness. We all

[@Igor-fd8iz]

Thanks for this incredible tutorial. I did this dozens of times until I learned everything by heart.

[@BeforeEffectsStudios]

Just Amazing

[@AlanCrytex]

Andrew's intelligence is something that I can't comprehend even though he has been giving out these tutorials xd Thank you so much btw

[@baggern]

Alan Crytex AE discord is leaking

[@marci_99.]

Alan Crytex Can anyone send me the editable after effects file ? I followed everything and my animation still doesnt look like that.

[@vid828]

Was thinking the same thing. If he was in a science lab he would have probably cured cancer by now.

[@AlanCrytex]

What even the fuck.

[@ahitler5592]

how about his fans living in the 3rd world country(destroyed by the nukes of america) who got no credit card? If you're rich as the jews then just donate your house to Andrew and not forcing him to sell his tutorials,

[@maryamsamadi4714]

Thank you very much for this amazing thorough tutorial. I did it step by step, didn't do any creative stuff but finishing this and seeing a good looking result was far more than enough for me!

[@yeknommonkey]

So we’ll done. No time wasting, no um and err, this guy knows exactly what he’s doing despite multiple copies of layers and effects etc. great skill in the software and in teaching it. Thanks!

[@DatIsKevin]

This is crazy! If you asked me, this could be in a holywood film :o

[@FLIMLIONVisualFX]

[@DanielWilliamsonion]

Watching this for the second time around and not following along helps to pick up on so many amazing little tricks. Thank you for taking the time. That double set matte trick is killer.

[@sveilien]

Man, the procedural generation you pull off is amazing. So many applications this has for mograph.

[@dcohencpt]

This is incredible. Please, make more tutorials! I am amazed at how fluent you are with this program. Genius

[@illview]

Video Copilot is legendary.

[@sinosqi]

GOD of AFTER EFFECT

[@ourafilmes]

What a master... I don´t know where I would be without him! Cheers Andrew! Keep it up!

[@naass9447]

Remember this : Andrew will be Adobe's CEO

[@saidboulhemz]

3rd party plug-ins hates you

[@CH1CK3Nwings]

Find out why!

[@ponnannakb]

Lol

[@Mafr0]

Well, all except for Cycore... But I guess they're pretty much 1st party plugins now

[@viktorsunday58]

😂😂😂 lol

[@Skebtik]

Dude I learn a lot by watching these but I've got to say. You've convinced me vfx is not my profession. I could have spent years playing around in AE and never have figured this stuff out. Great work.

[@mattythekid9956]

this is absoluty awesome!!!!!!!!! I've never seen such a good explained tutorial. Andrew is a master of his class. Thx for takeing me with u.

[@HISFilms]

EPIC!!

[@Stellarspace95]

everytime I see these dope effects and it says that it's 100% after effects I get worried about my ram lol

[@iNapaa]

LOL XDDD

[@keldfrslev3935]

It's weird how much I love how you start your tutorials. Every time I hear that "beep beep beepbeepwah" my brain goes "Yessss! learning time! LET'S DO THIS!!!" :)

[@AymanKhalifa]

Every single tutorial is like a whole course .. Thanks for sharing your amazing skills

[@AnoopSeth]

This is advance tutorials👍👌😊

[@CZTUTORIALS]

ČEŠI TAKY ZDRAVÍ! :) :D

[@headcrab4]

Andrew, you are an ABSOLUTE MADMAN. Keep up the great work!

[@stazzy8629]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have watched it 3 times in 2 days, trying to get my design as perfect as yours. Incredible work.

[@leloc4774]

Can you share such packages with me?

[@NomadaProductions]

Andrew Kramer sits at his desk on a Tuesday evening. "Ahh I'm out of ideas, what else could I do?" Browses Effects and Presets and finds "CC Hair". Pause. (paste smirk emoji here)

[@arsh0603]

Im not After Effects User, I just love to watch Andrew Kramer videos.

[@waqaransari3666]

You should learn After effects then.

[@arsh0603]

@@waqaransari3666 I used it for 15 years and moved to Nuke and Fusion.

[@ralamacbytiana7277]

I love everything you teach & offer; this is so inspiring and motivating!

[@eastarigan]

Your tutorials never cease to amaze me.

[@elfinpie7290]

It would be nice to make a detailed tuto for the RED exemple. I can't achieve that "painted metal" touch and how to make a bump of another colour. But very good tutorial.

[@Xomerzito]

It's the same logic that he used on the logo effect at the end but instead of two "layers" of rust he used four and set the Height on CC GLASS a little bit more negative than the other texture. He shows at 46:30 how he did it. Instead of fractal noise he used images with the contrast of the textures really high.

[@BakersTuts]

Hi Andrew!

[@Gireshahid33]

BakersTuts Baker love your tutorials too,,, please continue doing that stuff!!

[@lucioflavio7316]

How Mac Adrew Krammer use?

[@RSkad]

Hey baker ! if you can make a tutorial for luminance skate in skate v5 you make me happy ! thx bro'

[@4keffects201]

Hi Bakers Tuts

[@BakersTuts]

Hi 4k Effects

[@MyMomDrank]

Thank you so much! Keep the tutorials coming, this was so fun to learn and play with. Was stoked when I got the email and couldn't wait to get started. Turned out so rad.

[@yaga8585]

Holy shit that's probably one of the most difficult techniques explained very well by you! I can't imagine others to explain this kind of stuff in such a proper way! Good job man!

[@MurrayFrost]

"you can switch out the logo with a McDonald's logo"..... Lol!

[@Crazywanhk]

The idea is so awesome! Great trick but maybe also become a trap for motion graphic designer XDDDD Client: Hey guy! You did a wonderful 3D text animation, can you add some 3D rotation on the words? Me: um...

[@XxN4R0xX]

This is EXACTLY, what happen to me earlier today xD

[@slayyou]

time to whip out the c4d

[@SakshamThukral]

Emmanuel Umukoro Yep :D

[@mackyfulness]

Ae texts have animation properties in it so you can still do stuff with the base text even with this heavy content. Complicated but possible.

[@viktorsunday58]

😂😂

[@MohsinKhan-sq6dq]

I'm blown away even in the first 10 minutes. That's too amazing knowledge.... Loved it

[@Totorus]

Andrew this is a stunning tutorial, really, i just wanted to learn this days how to use texture to creat worn and damage effect, this is amazing, thank you so much for sharing all this with the comunity. Greetings.

[@justinfernandes113]

The dislikes are from Third Party Plugins!

[@CirqueitOfficial]

(I'm working on your shockwave effect right now) :-D

[@ootrip40]

You really lifted my career and still astonish me with your problem-solving creativity and imagination!

[@Leftblu]

I've always liked Video Copilot ! They come up with so much good ideas and plugins that help us done stuff in easier way. Huge thanks ! This is next level stuff for sure in this video.

[@sajadb_dev]

Click bait, it teaches more than what was promised.😂

[@Operateur]

Can we get some more detail on how you did the RED letters? As its the thumbnail of the video and is not explained into detail. Thanks

[@alexanderhamilton876]

I need this so bad!

[@michaelmuller6029]

This is insane! I thought I knew something about this tool but this guy made me change my mind about my opinion once again

[@steventapia_motiondesigner]

This guy has taught me that After Effects has so much more to offer than just Keyframes & Standard Effects. This Year I've learned that Set Matte can go a really long way! Thanks Andrew! Can you do Voice Overs for my next Project? Lol!

[@TheSoul1988]

Andrew AE copperfield ;o

[@patriciofernandez2423]

"I Have an army" "We have Andrew Kramer " BOOM

[@rustyspurproductions]

Just when I think I have a grip on After Effects, in swoops Andrew to prove I know nothing. Thanks for all the great tips. Keep up the good work!
