Creating a Collage Trail Effect in After Effects | Sports Graphics

[@seumulhana21]

at 3:23, it might be easier to use "Keyframe assistant - sequence layers" first to see which frames you'd want to keep in before committing to parenting each layer while on the specific timeline

[@emevlk]

That or committing to doing this on 4s or so from the get go and rotoscope only those frames and save even more time

[@lucaspacheco618]

there is also a super helpful script for that called "rift", it has some more feautures then the regular keyframe assistant

[@citorivera221]

The production of this tutorial is insane, please keep making more!

[@D0pey200]

I've never seen a better produced and well edited tutorial. Concise, informative, entertaining and approachable. Extremely well done!

[@miloowyn]

This tutorial is made in such high-quality!!! Thank you for this, can't wait to see more content from you Mr. Garrow!

[@QaisarYegimbayev]

@tobygarrow great video, there is a much faster way to arrange the frames in the timeline 1. select all layers ctrl+shift+d and cut all layers at 1st frame on the timeline 2. delete everything but the 1 frame long layers 3. animation>keyframe assistant>sequence layers 4. extend all layers to the end of the timeline

[@usimortis1940]

I believe you can actually create a simple script that does the whole process.

[@gfatsad2696]

Right, bro. You said what I wanted to say

[@MuhammadHaseeb-s7s]

This tutorial is just sooooooo great man. Why did you stop making tutorials? It could be a big help for humanity

[@midnitespecial_music]

this is great, i've found lately for this type of cascade building in the timeline, do the old trick of making all the layers one frame and then right click and auto arranging them all to offset by one, then go to the end of the timeline, select all and Ctrl+], then to quickly move down them all for parenting, it's Ctrl down and then just press "i" to go to the input of that layer before parenting, probably only saves a little time but a few times i've had that trio of Ctrl key in a cycle to go through and it becomes really tedious so that removes just a few keystrokes for you on each step

[@Shykun]

Wait what? How are you still 122 subs only? I thought I was watching some +100k sub content! This is amazing 🤩

[@spookybalamains]

lmao right

[@Itz_TOG]

He's almost at 9k now, don't worry. 😄

[@NRGvideoproduction]

Saying hi at 250k 😂

[@clarkeflippo9004]

This was great man. The quick summary of the process was refreshing. I learned a new technique without having to sit through a 17min tutorial. More like these would be awesome.

[@damkiii]

I LOVE HOW U MAKE THE TUTORIAL MORE INTERESTING WITH THOSE DESIGN STYLE OF YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@demcny8941]

Fantastic tutorial 👌 great breakdown and visualisation of the methods used. Instant sub! More of these, bro!

[@EnxhioKotoni]

The quality of this tutorial is amazing. Keep it up

[@claraelia]

We need more of this magic Toby !!!

[@sanatagraha272]

the tutorial is an art itself

[@aadiinmotion]

composition, design and effects of the tutorial itself are great!

[@danielcamargopolo8940]

For a quick way to do it, instead of going through the whole PNG process, you could try using the Echo effect with the rotoscoped layer. This won't allow all the control and the nice touch you gave it at the end of course. Great tutorial, by the way! Loved the titles!

[@willrushton5579]

Echo doesn’t freeze time, simply delays it. If you do a super short delay of 1 frame with lots of echos it will create the illusion of freezing but the trail is moving. Now if you add a greater delay between echos you will see that your trails will have motion to them rather than frozen if that makes sense.

[@abitofnostalgia]

I'll have to try this when I dive back into AE. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@RustamBainazarov]

Great tutorial, thank you. Aside from the Keyframe assistant part, I didn't really get the tracking one: shouldn't it be easier if you'd exported the rotoscoping results with the source frame size? As I see it, that'd allow to skip the tracking part since all frames would retain the source proportion and size - so all layers can be perfectly aligned with the video just by aligning them to the composition's center.

[@ItsKuruk]

definitely gonna try this out

[@RedPandaGamer]

This is such a great video, I appreciate that it's more a guide to get started vs step by step super dry just staring at your After Effect screen.

[@vorval96]

Great tutorial! That expression is crazy!

[@avkitsis]

One of the best video tutorials I've seen, please don't change this style! Keep it up it looks great! (1 more after me and you have 1000 subscribers!)

[@paulreed07]

thanks for the video!! you might be able to save some time by just offsetting each layer automatically within the Keyframe Assistent, then instead of pick whipping use the dropdown and it's always the very close first layer. Seems like saving microseconds, but in total you might save quite some time in the end.

[@paulreed07]

yeah just saw, that this was already mentioned here before, sorry about that :))

[@befouriv7842]

This is such a great tutorial! Hope you do more again sometime !

[@PGANANDHAKRISHNAN]

brother the effort you taking my god you are awesome

[@InvisiblefilmmakerBlogspot94]

I found this extremely inspirational for a lyric video!!!

[@Kevinlenslife]

wow! your tutorial is a new level

[@NorsePunk]

You speak very clear and coherent, a much needed quality for tutorial/educational content. Please, keep it up! Subscribed.

[@aaliyan2]

Amazing videos!

[@pipb00y]

my guy, you are underated, this is insane, hope you reach 10,0000 subs ❤❤

[@PiginaCage]

You didn't need to sequence the layers one by one. you could've used Animation > Keyframe assistant > Sequence Layers. and you could've parented all of them to the tracking data layer at once by selecting all and then using that small spiral button next to the parenting box and dragging it onto the tracking data layer. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@Rand1er]

You couldn't parent them all at once, otherwise they'd all be out of position when they appear. They need to be parented from their appearance position.

[@ehliogomme]

this video is GOLD

[@dannyjuarez1969]

Bro posted a banger and dipped

[@Nkpower21]

Wow this tutorial is high quality. Thanks for uploading! It helped a ton!

[@ryanhoelscher5429]

This is made super well, one of the best tutorial videos I've seen, and I've seen a lot. Keep it going, you'll catch fire,

[@PanewsONE]

Great breakdown, mate! I loved the remainder expression with the slider to guarantee a flexible result. Nice work man

[@AuthorMx]

Quick bit, you should be able to shave off one of the keystrokes in the tracking data section by using the "keyframe assistant" to sequence the layers

[@hinakausar7471]

Oh my God Bro ur channel is underrated, quality stuff I'm impressed. Hoping for more tutorials from you

[@iamnovinov]

Great tutorial

[@animaaioficial]

thx, great tutorial!

[@RodriAp]

good making off for this tutorial, is so amazing. congrats and thanks!

[@mr.person1219]

You leave out a lot of key things like creating a null for the tracking data or getting the tracking data as a null object and cutting things out. There is a specific process and window before doing so.

[@mohammedzohan6629]

That's so sickk

[@selimelino]

i subbed immediately this tutorial is so well made!

[@jordanhuang5892]

Loved this, thanks!

[@garyhighsnobiety6869]

perfect tut!!

[@19kruger99]

Wish you showed how you added the posterize and wiggle effects, some people with limited AE experience might want to create the same effect and simply saying "then I added this" without showing how to defeats the purpose of a tutorial.

[@dange8rge]

such a cool effect!!

[@brianbetz7753]

Thanks 🙏🏻 Doing a project where I’m taking Chinese Martial Arts moves and animating with Blander. This works great as can export as png image sequence. Your vid has countless applications for what I’m doing!

I'm having the same issue. Can't get the opacity expression to work either. Did you get it to work?
