Quick Spray Paint / Graffiti in After Effects | Easy Animation Tutorial

[@7milessnake]

These tutorials are just the best! I am mostly watching them on the way home, or when I have some found time. Besides them being very helpful for learning AE, your videos are really entertaining as well!

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :) That's so lovely to read

[@Vyoomz]

Oh geez. Imma be pause playing this tutorial for hours but its absolutely the most helpful thing ever. Thank you so much!

[@monicagalvez2170]

Ohhh,. i'm beggining to learn the program and you gave some cool tricks in this video, i didn't knew we could use a perspective tool effect, that is so useful, thank you.

[@seencapone]

Hi Ben. Any reason you don’t use the Write-On effect instead? You can animate the width of the stroke (as well as the color or opacity) anywhere along the path with keyframes, which lets you create more calligraphic line widths and smooth transitions. Which keeps it all contained & smart inside one layer, rather than duplicating and masking. Your method only really works when you don’t have a variable-width stroke crossing over itself, but with graffiti art and cursive text you often have to do that. Write-On will smartly draw ‘over’ itself depending on the order you drew the source path.

[@ottolaakso1944]

1) Wash your hands 2) Stop touching your face 3) Always label your layers

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, this is perfect! :)

[@scottmercials3027]

that liquify touch... *chef's kiss*

Graffitis are back in fashion and design. This is the kind of thing we are likely to put in practice within the next year or so.

@@slowhandblues187 maybe you just need to pay more attention, or go to beginner tutorials 👍

[@slowhandblues187]

@@robmonk3139 maybe…but I came across this because I saw ‘easy’ in the title. I was paying attention throughout and hit rewind when I needed to. This is not a good video for beginners because necessary steps are skipped, not mentioned, and not addressed. 👎

[@robmonk3139]

@@slowhandblues187 doesn't say its for beginners in the title and it is relatively easy.

[@shaffar100]

I like this a lot. I was trying to make one which didnt require any masks, so after doing yours I tried adding a small bulge deformer to each side of the line to get the taper and threw in a turbulent displace to get the variation in width. It worked pretty well - but all inspired by yours.

awesome work bro! big up from Brazil

I've been using After Effects for years and years and in this 9=-minute video I've learnt about tools I never knew existed! (Powerpin, Crop to region of interest, liquify)!!! Thanks so much Ben!

[@kotomilee2427]

Thank you for your sharing ! Your tutorials are super useful.

[@eyesonren]

Instead of using liquify you can duplicate the brick layer, make it black and white and add a displacement map to your spray paint then set the source of the displacement to the new brick layer and adjust the displacement. I'm not sure how it works with different colours you might need it to be black and then pre comp then add colour

[@fooddoodz1417]

Dooooood. That liquid movement trick is amazing! I'm most certainly stealing this for a future project.

[@sofianealloui]

Hi, ben i want to start a animation youtube channel , is it enough to learn just adobe AE for animation .. im newbie .. thank u ♥

[@o_infinity_o3395]

Not necessarily depending on what kind of animation you want to make, for example if you're creating transitions similar to this then yeah! However if you're trying to do 2d animation there are limits with these softwares and you'd need something like 2d paint, krita, Adobe animation for more creative control of your animations

bro why when I set the scale, the object actually moves( the drip-blop ) at 5:20, please tell me bro

[@wilde8984]

im having the same issue, the center for the shape is way off to the center of the comp idk what to do

[@spacecowboy7958]

This is late, but I think the issue is just where the anchor point is positioned. I had the same problem n with some google searches I figured out you can move it from the centre of your composition to the centre of whatever your tryna scale. I found this video that explains how to fix it better than I can: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4m0i4OZiKqfo6s

You can do it by using the TrickMat button. You put your image behind the Spray Line layer and "TrickMat Alpha Matte "Spray Line" on your image. I hope this help you ^^

"now you can deface public and private property from the COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME' relevant now more than ever

[@GypsumGeneration]

it is SO frustrating that you constantly cut when you've clearly done more. I understand you're trying to shoot for brevity but these are literally recommended tutorials for beginners and you skip all of the UI navigation. Feels like watching a teacher show off how good they are at something instead of trying to teach. Huge waste of time trying to follow this, ironically.
