Every time I watch one of your videos I'm reminded how much I need to watch all of them

[@samuellee6473]

Geez you're so amazing like literally create a mini-community that not only the audiences are fed with the video content, but also got them to share back what they know about a particular effect in AE. Really appreciate it!

[@barryb3283]

The Unstretch feature just blew my mind! Thanks for going in-depth - I always learn something new!

[@littlecoloreddots]

Been working in the industry for years and currently on a big show (it's a secret). But ran into a problem that your video solved for me and saved me hours of work. Thanks!

[@alexanderlane6466]

Loving your dives into After Effects. Thanks for all I'm learning!

[@Arieljaay]

Ok _now_ I finally got to use the unstretch tip and omg it saved me so much time thank you so much 💕

[@thestellarelite]

Aaah missed this series hearing the intro gave me nostalgia from only a year ago lol. I'm always making little mini UI screens for my illustrations and I always forget some portion of the workflow. Really needed that region of interest/crop comp reminder thank you again as always for this amazing series! Will always come back here for these :D

[@glassroads989]

This is probably the most helpful lesson I’ve watched,

[@zohaibmalik819]

It has become more robust now and got now how to use unstretch properly and avoid precomping. Thanks for re uploading. I also tried using toComp(value) expression and that worked also without using the transform effect. (I applied toComp(value) expression in start to 4 pin properties of the effect and then adjusted the pins to avoid extra adjustment, then duplicated the effect with expression applied and easily able to stretch or move the layer without transform effect.)

[@sirshenduchaudhuri5143]

Very informative. Got to learn something new today, even after 5+ years didn't knew this effect existed. Thank you!

[@paulvansommeren]

Tip: the Expansion of the Power Pin is also very useful if you used a blank image with tracking markers on screen instead of tracking the screen corners.

[@JakeInMotion]

Ahh, great example.

[@JamisonYukich]

Where would I be without people like you? Never had the pre-compose issue, because I typically will crop the text before exporting from photoshop. This time I brought in a PNG that was surrounded by a lot of blank space. Was doing corner reveal and it wasn't listening to me at all. Kept going all over the place like it was on a completely different axis; was so confused. Thank you!

[@bazibada]

Thank you ! I was about to use Corner Pin frame by frame to save a complicated shot, Power Pin will be so much better !

[@22carmoon]

Omg that unstretch feature. This is exactly what I was looking for.

[@nukenuki]

Wow, you melt my mind. Love your tutorials. I thought I had a grasp on corner pins, I did not. ;)

[@yoshiiofficial]

"Crop comp to the region of interest" is the thing nobody ever told me, which I needed so much....

[@EdaliaDayCreative]

woah. this is incredible. thanks. the vector part especially

[@stephenmoore6493]

Brilliant series!

[@randallhernandez1644]

thank you very much for teaching us teaching us sir.

[@dmytro_korolkov]

Thank you! Interesting tutorial.

[@pauljamhouri2499]

God bless you good sir! was looking for an easy way to skew

[@Meiereika]

Super Helpful - Thank You!

[@IbnAbdssalam]

I really enjoyed it thank you

[@GraeHall]

To quote Cheryl/Carrol from Archer - "Mind, blown". Fantastic tutorial mate, helped clarify so many things which were foggy for me.

[@CsabiKremser]

So normally tutorials like this have a couple of hundred thousand views. Keep up the awesome work!

[@JakeInMotion]

Tell your friends!

[@BLUESCREAMPRODUCTIONS]

Impressive !

[@VishalHazarika08]

Great!

[@daisypriya3127]

Has the intro for this video made using this effect? It's so cool. Please make a tutorial on it ! :)

[@simplysurfing]

I think only an expert can follow your tutorial. As its not intended to someone new to the interface and norms of objects and how they behave on the stage (preview window).

[@ibrahemodel7084]

great

[@studiomiguel]

Is there any way to parent a a single corner pin to a null? To allow controlling corners from two separate layers with a single null move.

[@Arieljaay]

I totally could have used that unstretch tip on a video I just finished 😅 oh well

[@doctorvfx5626]

Man , My whole life was a lie with this unstrecth 😂. I was not aware of it thanks for this tutorial

[@RedPlanetPictures1]

Does CC Power Pin also support motion blur like Corner Pin though? Would be a huge downside if not.

[@elotro5862]

GOD

[@shriefallam8866]

If you upload a video and want to update its content (as you did with the case of Containtain Mayer's comment update), how can you do that to the same video again? wouldn't that mean that you have to delete the old video and reupload the new version? is there a way around that?

[@JakeInMotion]

Unfortunately, no. That's exactly what you have to do. KZbin doesn't allow you to replace a video. I deleted the original and re-uploaded.

[@tywvideo]

Is it just me or did I watch this yesterday?

[@IbnAbdssalam]

I think he add an explanation for "unstretch check box" in cc power pin In the end of it

[@JakeInMotion]

Yep, updated and expanded. Sorry for the deja Vu.

[@tywvideo]

@@JakeInMotion Roger Jake, thank you. I had to double check the calendar. Make sure it wasn't Groundhog Day. :)

[@MaangePeenge]

How do you track four corners?

[@JakeInMotion]

It's an option of the motion tracker. You have to choose to track position, scale and rotation.

[@brunogoncalves-pp5fs]

anyway to make the pin follow a null on every corner, ty

[@JakeInMotion]

Yes, use Void. It's a free tool from Battle Axe and will create a null layer that acts as a controller for any selected 2d point controls.

[@brunogoncalves-pp5fs]

@@JakeInMotion ty !

[@brunogoncalves-pp5fs]

although void lets me control nulls, I can't link them to a new parent without errors... any tips?

[@designjorge]

I don't understand why Adobe doesn't change the corner pin on texts to follow the shape..

[@millthor]

An old doubt I have: why do some effects have the CC before the name and others don’t? That’s way older than Adobe CC!

[@JakeInMotion]

You're right! In this case CC is short for Cycore FX, a third party developer that Adobe has licensed plugins from for after effects. You can look them up for full documentation on all their effects.

[@itayozari6252]

Hey, thank you for the tutorial. I am struggling with a problem while trying to implement that technique (combined with restrize): My goal is to zoom out from the screen to the final shoot. - to do that I am using Null to control the position, scale and rotation (3d). The problem is that when the ״camera״ is close to the implanted image the quality is low. I want to compensate for this by restrize the comp, the problem is that the corner pin effect does not work with it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGHYiKRpaKiXeNE Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Thank you

[@studiomiguel]

Did you ever find a solve for this? Trying to do the same thing for a different reason.

[@ashusaifi4381]

First

[@2424rocket]

What a mess! Just learn to use mocha… It works perfectly.

[@JakeInMotion]

Oh I have, I just assume most don't know how to use it.
