[@ludoviajante]

I lost count of how many times this channel saved me in my videos and animations. Thank you, Ben. Much love from Brazil!

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks dude, I really appreciate the kind words!! :)

[@caetanobr]

Mesma coisa aqui...

[@MotionHatch]

Love this style Ben! Thanks for creating these quick tips. “We always label our layers” yes 🙌

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you! It's good to get back to a nice short video haha

[@OFGAnimationStudio]

I agree, I love the style Ben has used :) We always follow our Ben :D

[@MotionHatch]

@@BenMarriott 👍

[@brunohelenobarbosa5176]

Every time I see a layer that I forgot to name, I can hear Ben disappointed at me in my head

[@BenMarriott]

haha it's never too late to label them! :)

[@JakeInMotion]

The before and after is so satisfying 🤤

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks mate! :)

[@sherylchan1618]

Great timing!! I was just about to start a project that needed this. Thank you!

[@BenMarriott]

Amazing! It makes me so happy when that works out

[@LilSassy]

As someone who isn't even close to being a professional motion designer but appreciates simple but still great looking effects, I really appreciate these one layer tutorials.

[@ateking]

Love the "Never Ending Story"-esque soundtrack playing over your Master Course shout out. The nostalgia alone makes me wanna sign up. haha Super helpful stuff as always, Ben! Thanks! :)

[@bananabike279]

I recently tried out the method in your older video, but this makes it even MORE easier!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@SanQuinter]

What a generous, kind, cool man you are. Thank you so much Ben!

[@adamnevinsftw]

Your insight has helped me produce some of my best work and it is appreciated.

[@plutons0productions]

Dude, I've been searching for a good boil animation for YEARS now. Thank you for this!!!

[@shivang_030]

This channel is a blessing!!

[@BenBradley91]

Good luck on the course man! I hope it’s insanely profitable for you as I’m sure it will be beneficial for thousands!

[@froggytonic]

Bless the benevolent teachers!

[@emdevoti]

Always love your tutorials for this kind of thing!

[@Nightshadow965]

I really look forward to these to an unhealthy degree, lol... Your videos really made me love the hand-drawn and grainy aesthetic. Always looking forward to videos that showcase that style!

[@laena5842]

best channel on youtube honestly

[@marirals]

ben! much love from Perú!!! you're my FAVOURITE motion designer, ever. :)

[@DeviantDayDreamer]

This is so helpful and easy to understand! Thank you so much for making this updated version!

[@GoodBloodGames]

You're a goddamn genius

[@esteemed_memes6179]

Good one good blood

[@rezedamarthos6598]

omg thank you (time*4)

[@patrycjam460]

Thank you so much Ben!

[@MariaGomez-ku9ws]

I just finished a small animation of Muse's album 'Origin of Symmetry' and I used your methods from your previous video, I'll give it a shot with this new version! thanks!

[@joaorzc]

awesome as always, Ben! if you want to maximize the "just one layer to do it all" idea, I would suggest emulating the paper textures (that is, the white speckles) with a really small and crushed fractal noise with the same random seed progression set to screen on top of the other effects. It won't be as organic as the real paper texture you crushed but will be a "one layer solution" :)

[@khuephan4637]

hiii can you go in more detail about this? I'm interested but I'm new so I dont quite understand what you are trying to say :(

[@joaorzc]

@@khuephan4637 Hi, of course! In order to emulate the tiny white speckles in the paper texture loop that Ben used, I would suggest applying an effect called "fractal noise" after all other effects and setting it in a way so all you see is tiny speckles flashing randomly. Then, setting it to screen blending mode merges it all to the comp. This video shows exactly what I'm trying to say: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emTYiHebYsytZ7s Feel free to ask more if needed :)

[@mohaimenbheer9816]

I've been searching for a tutorial like this since the very beginning of my motion graphic learning process! thank you man!

[@10q58]

yes! another quick and easy to follow tutorial, tysm

[@TabletsAndTemples]

This is way easier than what I used to do. I used to make a displacement map with a turbulent noise layer with an evolution expression. This is much better, plus can be saved as a preset. Thanks!

[@inkvisama]

Many thanks! It was really interesting and helpful, I used it immediately

[@marcorossi6427]

Thank you, Ben. This tutorial was handy!

[@Mlikes]

you are my favorite motiongrapher

[@yukobursulaia7686]

Thanks Ben for all your tuts that gave me stay motivated and inspired

[@LeahJackson]

Im usually a lurker but had to comment and thank you so much for this video! It's going to help me so much on a current project!

[@momsartroom]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much!!!

[@shehata-2428]

the "because we always label our layers" broke my heart

[@TheOakVideo]

Really Helpfull thanks !

[@totoroghibli3419]

As always very informative, quick and in style❤ love your videos. You've helped me a lot!!

[@elliec4932]

haaaa love that style ... Thank you soooooo much>< awsome!!!

[@ItsJustMeStevie]

Short and sweet!

[@howardsend6589]

As ever, great stuff Ben. Thanks!

[@paolapsq]

Thank you Ben! Great tutorial, just the magic I was looking for 🥰 ..'Before the good lord blessed us with the pen tool' cracked me up tooo 😂

[@jobmen1992]

Great tut bro!

[@kamelistanbuli1221]

can you make a video about , how to think as a motion designer , or how to think before you start working . Much appreciated

[@darienclark1856]

Fire as always!!

[@Left_it]

super handy thank you man

[@estebanpar06]

This effect also distorts the borders of the background, which can be solved by slightly scaling up the size of the BG layer so that the turbulent displacement doesn´t chew up its borders ;)

[@nicitie]

Love it. Really nice and simple. Thanks! :)

[@jordynmuldrow3885]

Great Job mate

[@baliyachtservices7505]

Amazing!! thanks

[@FrytoTheFry]

Thank you man!

[@valjia]

love this

[@jakewilliams7671]

Great stuff!

[@not_yosh]

Dayum, so good!!!

[@gbambagirl]

just a note I've realized recently: adding fx like these ( roughen edges, dissolve, and any other distortion fx with extremely low or high numbers..) on a 4k project = super slow render export on a ok computer or any mac os...or a just slow render export on a extremely strong/fast good set up pc.

[@alexdib3915]

Great video!

[@makeyourmusichappen]

great content. thank you

[@itstaylermusic]

Wow dope! I use after effects for my audio visualizers. I dont think ill use this, but its cool nonetheless :)

[@jesudoss7795]

Thank you sir

[@alexandrefelixfuzatto]

Hi! So I wanted to tell you something, I'm Brazilian, and I just LOVE your channel, and I don't understand your videos, and I wanted to ask you to put the subtitles in Portuguese (if you can, I don't know if you control this option) bye! (I wrote with the translator)

[@hawkfu]

I like it when we go through the bat butt

[@13StJimmy]

So now I know how to get that Ed Edd and Eddy look 😂 thank you so much!

[@awilsonator]

Have you tried Blender for making textures and noise for the animated loops? Might be good a DIY source if one has no access to flatbed scanner.

[@victormultanen1981]

wow!

[@MayankPratapSingh_022]

please make a video on how to add scribble text animation

[@sushibali6522]

Hey, love your content ! Will your course teach some illustration stuff as well cause u always come up with insane illustrations and animate them and when I want to animate I feel like I have no base to start with... really looking forward to get that course!

[@jonathanvillalobos5840]

Hi Ben! Love this tutorial. I followed it step by step, however I was wondering if you've encountered an issue where the actual looping of the evolution stops around the 20 sec mark. Would you know what could be causing this? Thanks again for the walkthrough!

[@chaardewar]

[@BenMarriott]

Thanks so much! Hope it get's some use :D

[@chaardewar]

I used the old method you made before ( hand drawn look)

[@renatocann5142]

Have def benefitted from your previous video on this, thanks for the great update! Would you then kinda templatize this and import the comp into new projects when you need it or do you just recreate this every time you start a new project that would benefit from this effect?

[@TodPoleDotCom]

Does anyone know if this strategy would work if I were to import a video file from animate? I don't know how to animate in After Effects yet, (I want to learn!) but I'm on a tight schedule with a project and want to get an effect like this. Was planning on importing movs or mp4's from Animate and doing something like this in the tutorial. Any help would be appreciated!!!

[@hamedm9241]

Ben you should start showing your face more often cuz we love you and you're so cute

[@levley1076]

Awesome

[@elvisgamboa3046]

Hi ben, how are you? i'm a fan of your work, i do animations very basic and simple indeed, but i love the work you do... my question is about your device, the specs of your computer (brand and hardware specs) can you tell me about yours please, and what hardware do you recommend for work in animation as you show on you youtube channel... have a nice week dude! big hug from caracas - venezuela

[@lilianaserguera9823]

This is awesome! I need to make animations with this boil effect to export as lottie, since it doesn't support effects/expressions yet, is there a way to transform this turbulence displacement into keyframes, without actually having to do it by hand? Thanks in advance : )

[@PampostReturning]

#Thank you#

[@celesterivera2020]

I love this, but I wonder if it is possible to apply it on rigged characters :(

[@Wombenangriff]

Great tutorial, thanks for your awesome stuff. One little thing about your Pencil: The curves are facing into the wrong direction (I mean the shape of the pencil where the white conical shape meets the red octangular shaft). I just noticed because I just finished a job with some pencils as motives and was totally alarmed when I saw your video and had to double-check :-D :-D :-D Don't take me to seriously; the rest ist perfect anyway!

[@mariozappini7784]

"We always label our layers" Does labelling them "seuqi7ehyq8i7ey" counts as labelling?

[@HeroPlays2]

Can anyone tell me how to first make that pencil animation ? as i want to draw a title with pencil writing, im new to AE so how can i make that first ?

[@jazmintaiah487]

where can i find the place to type the expression "time*4"? it doesn`t pop up in mine :(

Can anyone tell me the diference betwhen use posterize time and just set the comp to the framerate?

[@auhoangminhduy]

Off-topic!! Hey guys, I want to ask if anyone knows how to do or has tutorials on how to make a dynamic zoom in/out transition!!! I want to try that for my project but can't find any tuts :(((

[@KevinLosani]

I guess I'll start calling it "boil" instead of "that wiggle animation thingy"

[@DokaiSprirado]

So that’s how DBS Broly had its shintani lining style :0

[@azfaru4367]

I think the biggest challenge for me is to not overuse this effect

[@roarshark3453]

Has anyone figured out a good solution to the bg/borders boiling and showing the underworld below? apart from scaling e.g. to 102%

[@C-ly-de]

simply put the same background color for the compostion

[@pablog114]

So I’m definitely not overusing this…

[@JaredClarkGay]

Am I hearing Neverending Story music in the outro??

[@designtist2936]
