Thank you! I’m doing that with an evolution of the Mexico City’s metro evolution trough history! So this will help me a lot to animate the metro map!! Thank you!!

[@kennethdoory8434]

Brilliant tutorial ... quick and very easy to follow. Thank you!

[@EkramNofal30]

There is a faster method to separate the layers in Illustrator. Select the group layer, while the layer is selected go to the lines at the top right in the layers panel,then choose -release to layers (Sequences)- then you can select the layers and move them up or down the chosen layer.

[@diptiwani2241]

Hey Jo, Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. It really helped me in my project. But I can't see the *Animation Composer tab* in my After effects, I am using the latest version AE 2020 only but i can't find it anywhere. Can you help me in that, please?

[@hashanfernando5209]

You are a Legend 👍

[@pat2e215]

Thanks, this was an awesome tutorial!

[@SonduckFilm]

Thank you Patrick!

[@mahdisafaei6685]

thankful

[@rafid7011]

Question: I did same steps but I got low quality picture on the AE! Is that from the saving format on the Illustrator?

[@IsionIndustries]

Where did you find that isometric animation example you showed in the beginning at 0:12 ?

[@DonThilo]

Would be great to get an idea on how to animate the single elements (windows, etc.) - will it "just" be more ungrouping in the beginning to single out all the elements and start a lot of precomposing in After Effects?

[@dheerajvishwakarma9391]

Can you give advice for how to become a beginner to advanced in after effects how can I do.. plz help me

[@lgtwzrd]

Reminds me of "Remind Me" music video from Royksop. Very good!

[@SoroushQmarC]

great job.. I think we can use other techniques with just scaling!

[@ProPeeps]

And boom !

[@mustafo_designer]

thaaaaaaaaaankss

[@SeveronJ]

Good video - the only thing that irked me and felt like bait, is you showed a really nice animation where the buildings extruded out and had that really cool reveal effect. Then it isn't in your video or in any of the videos you linked to unless I missed something.

[@thefabk2137]

wow awesome :) please make a rotoscope animation tutorial like BR SPORTS MAKE :)

[@bobbyjourdan7075]

Hey Josh, great stuff as usual. I was thinking - why do you resize the objects with a Null in AFX instead of just resizing the Artboard in Illustrator to 1920 x 1080 and resizing the objects to fit the Artboard already in Illustrator. Any reason for that or just a preferred workflow? Thanks man

[@SonduckFilm]

Either way is fine! I try to do less in Illustrator in these tutorials.

[@rossesproveedores9526]

I wish if I had more than just a like for this video wooooow man so sample so helpful

[@chetannaryal1407]

[@danielnewton5867]

This is cool!

[@babigabie]

What kind of app did you used??

[@ArchitJ25]

Hey friend I am from India. I am trying to use Adobe illustrator on phone but there is no option for these features like in your video. My question is does illustrator works better on pc?

[@okyoky405]

there are huge different between both

[@zeekoo15]

[@bharatagrawal996]

[@skalzangotsal4318]

how to download Ai and Ae

[@DaveHuxtableLanguages]

Very cool. I must think of a way to use that in a future video. Where is your accent from by the way? I use lots of accents on my channel but still have a lot to learn about different parts of the US.

[@SonduckFilm]

I've lived in Florida for basically my entire life.

"Let's animate some cars on the road... it's gonna be easy!" - Oh really? Make the car turn. :)

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

Xandercorp , actually, it is easy. Josh keeps these videos quick, clean, and concise. I’ve been working in After Effects for about 15 years and I love watching his channel for little tricks and inspiration. Now, to answer your question. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIWzfXifpcyHpq8

[@SonduckFilm]

Thanks for the link Steve!

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

​@@SonduckFilm , Hey Josh, you know I'm a huge fan. Not since Andrew Kramer have I seen someone as genuinely nice and professional in producing great After Effects tutorials. I really do look forward to every one of them.

[@teslacine]

oh... the example is veeeeeery isometric... -_-

[@AnkitKumar-lv6xm]

Hii

[@ygpro2003]

I think you creat it in cinema 4d 😂

[@sonjoydev9860]

yes...there are too much difference between the 1st video & last output...the 1st output probably in cinema 4d with much detailed animation

[@raymondc96]

Nah AE can do that.

[@AnkitKumar-lv6xm]
