Better Animated Grain Texture | After Effects Tutorial

[@lizjamar]

1:14 - "don't panic yet..." That's reassuring. I'm glad we have space to panic later.

[@matthewboutros2813]

"Set Matte" effect. Cue the lightbulb and heavenly chorus - guess what is now my new favourite thing

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, Right?! It's so damn useful

[@owenpaxton4664]

These moments are bittersweet. All these years... and I didn't know about this... all the things I could have done...

[@alnaas271]

sadly it only works on shapes and not pictures or videos

[@jodyb1095]

I've watched this video at least 5 times now over the past year and only just now realized the added "appendage" that you threw on there at the end.

[@chakarock]

this is the best and easiest way to create grain texture I’ve ever seen

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you! If I find a better way I will make a new video immediately.

[@ma.ysabelleung7739]

I love how you're constantly improving and updating us with better techniques!! thank you.

[@OblivionFalls]

Holy cow I wish I knew "Set Matte" was a thing. So much easier than creating numerous pre-comps with Stencil Alpha layers in them.

[@ThorSarup]

Tip: if the "Roughten Edge" is not noisy/detailed enough: Try adding 2 x "Transform" effects - one before "Roughen Edge", set "Scale" to 200%, and one after "Roughen Edge" where you contra scale to 50%. (300% and 33.3333% for event more effect)

[@parlote6]

You could also use the property of "layer styles" in your matte use the option of inner shadow. Layer styles give you the option to direct the light, feather it and grain it.

[@LiGhTPouLE]

This is my fav after effects tutorials channel by far.

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@patkirtan]

Pretty cool! I hope you drop more secrets from your time at Buck :D

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, Going to be dropping some massive bombs about folder structure and project management eventually :D

[@許富盈-u2t]

I don't even have Ae in my laptop but I have kept watching your vids since I found this channel a few days ago. You worth a lot more subscribers!! I love how you focus on every detail even if it takes a lot of effort and the audience might not even notice it. The combination of colors is fascinating, too.

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much :D That's so awesome of you to say. I really appreciate the support :D

[@nileevans4159]

Thank you Ben, you get a lot of love on YT, it’s fully justified, you’re the best ❤️

[@CDAFX]

You just helped make my workflow about 100x faster by showing me the set matte effect, keep up the inspiring stuff Ben!

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@taylak8351]

A new upload woooooo! Thanks for this cool tutorial!

[@marcellinbayita7451]

really happy to have watched this today!!! great work

[@valerihudedatov3460]

Ben, honestly you're the best!! Only because of you i finished my final project in school with great score. Thank you!

[@RonnelleTorres]

Man you did not only teach me how to get a quicker grain texture, you also clarified some issues I have with set matte. So you need to rasterize the layer. I was wondering why it wasn't working if you use a solid layer as a track matte. Thank you bro :D really helped :D

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much! I avoided set matte for years before I found that out.

[@sandywatson5806]

its great that you take the time to show diferent grain techniques. I am learning a lot from you. thanks

[@abuhamzaalsafadi]

censored eye's ding dong which is looking through its eyes hmmm, that is neat

[@트랜디컬쳐]

Wow it is upgraded grain

[@mrbigh36]

Brilliant! Can't wait to apply this method on my next animated gradients!

[@snailevangelist]

[@mrdhanstube]

Haha, thank you! :D

[@noodleluvmay5744]

Love your design styles and themes! Concise videos are also addictive to watch... Awesome work!

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@duckbusiness]

Try using "random(min,max);" on the seed value when you need more variance, but need constraints. Eg; replicating a hand drawn boil loop.

[@BenMarriott]

Awesome tip, thanks so much! :D

[@IzacLess]

Add in a "posterizeTime(6);" before this to have the value change only a few times per second.

[@worstever5151]

love this one! cheeky!

[@LucasEduardoRibas]

Cheers man! awesome tutorial! keep going!

[@brandonkalyan]

Haha, hey awesome, thanks for the shoutout!

[@BenMarriott]

You're so welcome :D I've been using that expression all over the place :) Thanks for sharing

[@Kaseki]

Awesome, thanks :))

[@seencapone]

Roughen Edges is one the best tools in the kit. The 'Photocopy' Edge Type is great for distressed 2D effects on shape layers.

[@AustinThomasFilms]

I have been wanting how to do this for so long!! Every mograph reel seems to utilize this technique.

[@Juliaaaaaaaa8]

Damn Ben... Just finished a whole project using your old grain tutorial. This would've made it so much easier and neater! I ended up putting the smallest wiggle ever on the objects so the grain is moving nicely... No but seriously, thanks for all your videos, tips and tricks. I love watching them and trying new things. :)

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, thanks so much. Glad you're finding these useful.

[@gamingbreaks4387]

Thank you so much for your super awesome feedback and support, this means a lot to me!! :)

[@mexrelax]

Ah man I love your intro! :D Cool tutorial too.

[@previd2918]

Perfect - I was struggling with the technique where you duplicate a layer, set to dissolve, apply a matte, feather, etc, because the grain would animate every frame :( but this sounds like a great alternative! Thank-you so much!!

[@alexdib3915]

Fantastic!

[@cierratimpson6716]

Genius! Thank you so much, I've learnt so much from your channel.

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support

[@jezzacaple]

@@BenMarriott Although every video I watch I feel like an idiot for not knowing things like the set matte tool. So thanks for making me feel like a noob!

[@agustinmartinez7963]

Great video thanks for the information

Very helpful, thank you.

[@LaE396]

it's so cooooooool tutorial!!! thanks a lot!!

[@BenMarriott]

The pleasure is all mine, thanks for watching :)

[@eftorq]

That's such an amazing tip! Good to see you are still on CC18 lol. And I didn't know you were freelancing for buck, how was the experience?

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, my plugins didn't transfer across so I can't be bothered to set them up properly yet. The expressions in CC19 are much nicer though. And Buck has been bar far the best studio I've worked at. So many amazing artists that I've learned so much from.

[@eftorq]

Ben Marriott same with the plug ins for me. The code editor is the only motivation for doing it sometime. That's great to hear! I'm looking forward for more!

[@moonwhisperxiv]

Funny. I just watched the original video yesterday.

[@nicokuhne3255]

i watched the original, literally 10 seconds ago and i have never seen another video from him lol

[@gerald5969]

I just watched the original video a couple hours ago...

[@BenMarriott]

Haha, Thanks for watching a second one :D They're not all about grain on eyeballs I swear

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@moonwhisperxiv]

@@BenMarriott Yeah they can also be beholders! :D

[@corbindowd1140]

Scatter effect with Randomize Every Fame checked on will also produce similar results : )

[@BenMarriott]

Oooo thanks for the tip! I'll have to investigate. The search for perfect grain continues :D

[@Batka-Channel]

Thank you so much

[@BillSchiffbauer]

Awesome.

thanks man

[@ericlarson7235]

Roughen Edges seems to have changed in 2021. Any thoughts on how to make it still look like this?

[@vincentthibault3534]

Hello Ben, thank you so much for all of your videos, always inspiring and helpful I have a question regarding the quality of the display/render. Right now I am using this shading grainy technique on a comp of 1080*1920. However when I'm on 200% viewing display like you on the video, the result I get is very blurry and not defined like yours. Any suggestion? If you already talked about this topic in a video I am happy to get the link and watch it! Thank you so much, Vincent

[@nadinec7585]

This effect works well only on small Comps. I also had 1920x1080 and it was blurry. I set the Complexity to 10, Edges Sharpness to 10, but the texture was still uneven.

[@NuisanceFlute]

Amazing video. Stealing this one

[@emanuelporic]

I love it

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks mate! :D

[@XsporTTube]

NICE AND SIMPLE

[@paulyoung5641]

Hi there, I love your tutorials, they are very easy. Just one question, The "roughen edges" effect feathers off at the sides of the frame when the edges of the shape are of screen, is there any way I can get rid of this?

[@bot5am]

Top quality, AE channel. Came here from @oddfellowstv insta story

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much! :D I really appreciate the support
