Learnt more here than what I would've in 7 separate 10-min long videos. Thank you for keeping it brief.

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Thanks for watching

[@muazabduljamil131]

exactlyyyy

[@bananasolid]

For Animation 6, instead of creating the rectangular track matte, you can simply go to Opacity under Range Selector and set opacity to 0% (Animator 1 > Add > Property > Opacity). This will help if you have multiple text in your video that have different lengths so there is no need to make a track matte for each text box.

[@JeGab]

For the people watching this video even knowing how to use the program... THANK YOU! You guys deserve more

[@mhoctober]

Great speed. No fluff. Txs for sharing.

[@nathanbgerman]

Method 1 is exactly the look I am trying to do in a big project I am working on. I already knew this way of doing it, but thought surely there must be a better way when working with 5-10 lines of text than animating every single line on its own layer. I guess I was already doing the best way without even knowing it.

[@lorenzovari]

have you found a good way to work with many lines?

[@fishark]

@@lorenzovari Hi, I use cleaner method, when you make mask directly on the text line and animate position by effect transform. Then you can duplicate your line, rewrite text, move it as you wish and the animation is still preserved.

100 %me wotking og my final year animation

[@tobyeglesfield4403]

#6 Alpha invert map is no longer given in the UI in the same way. TO replicate this you're now required to select the above layer in the 'no matte' column, then click the neighbouring icon space to the right of the black on white circle icon on the text layer.

Thank you! Here for this

[@croissant-king]

I like 2 and 5 the most

[@sonhodecor109]

AMAZING tutorial! One of the most comprehensive tutorials I've seen for anytNice tutorialng. Thanks so much!

[@ofconsciousness]

Thanks!

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Very generous. Thank you!

[@KirbyGotenksabsorbed]

4:09 You should probably mention that the text needs to be aligned in the paragraph panel to animate from the center rather than the first letter.

[@v0lc0mma5ter]

Naw now you get the credit cheers

[@MGstaR17]

The best software for clip editing. Also, a nice and understandable tutorial.

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Much appreciated!

[@felipecuenca2811]

I feel I just leveled up my AE skills with this, amazing!

[@fmalovegirl98]

One of the best tutorials ever. Thank you so so much!

[@ellaharvey1481]

Great video! Just a note in case anyone else gets the same issue with No5 - the text needs to be centrally justified to animate from the center, otherwise it will be offset

[@aleledesma4088]

I am new to After Effects and I am having this issue but I am not sure how to fix it :l

[@carabsaanofficial2212]

proud to watch ❤

[@XC999_Akainu]

how can I not know this until now, thank you so much!

[@TinyMaths]

Great thank you. I almost had a panic attack when thinking of how much work it was going to take to make a few rows of typing numbers by using keyframes and individual characters. Didn't even know about the typing effect in AE, you've saved me a significant amount of time and tedium.

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Glad you found this tutorial my friend!

[@reginaluamanda5824]

going to go make my first soft! My first soft!! Here I go! Wish luck.

[@bettysolis4827]

in the details. when you get stuck, roll back to the beginning and start over. The other weay is to focus entirely on one set of commands

Thanks! I've been searching how to get it and this is brilliant :D

[@agerm2378]

Congrats! I'm also a long way from being a pro but I wanted to encourage you a bit -- those three things he mentioned at the start (easing, track mattes, text formatting) are not so arcane and I bet you could learn enough about them for this video after a few searches!

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

Hey the journey of a thousand miles starts with one step! thanks for letting me apart of that journey!

[@dpinskey]

Excellent tutorial guys. I'm still a relative newbie, but found these exercises to be completely useful and explained and delivered in an exceptionally quick and no-nonsense manner. Thank you!

[@GiancarloBaffaWebDesign]

At 1:05 you create an easing with keyboard shortcut which you don't explain, and the graph editor does not allow dragging the bezier curve point. You may have some setting which are not explained, and I am not able to follow

[@BonicaMong]

Wow! Thank you so much for teaching these in just 7 minutes!

@@TheKeyframeAcademy thanks! It's a completely different experience to what I've been using before but I love it!!

[@TheKeyframeAcademy]

@@Slugmun What were you using before?

[@Slugmun]

@@TheKeyframeAcademy Corel VideoStudio Pro. I bought it last year and started noticing how limiting the program was. Very easy for quickly learning, but many of it's features are template based, so not a whole lot of room to experiment or make your own effects.

How great are "mistakes"?! I had switched the keyframes on #6 so it would appear left from right, but didn't make the directional change in the second animator in #7. The result was a very cool glitchy effect. Thanks for a great lesson!

Nice work!
