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!

[@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.

[@citorivera221]

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

[@demcny8941]

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

[@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

[@mrtnvndrvlk]

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

[@aadiinmotion]

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

[@EnxhioKotoni]

The quality of this tutorial is amazing. Keep it up

[@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.

[@littleshih88888]

The most beautiful AE tutorial EVER!!! THANKS

[@vorval96]

Great tutorial! That expression is crazy!

[@claraelia]

We need more of this magic Toby !!!

[@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

[@PGANANDHAKRISHNAN]

brother the effort you taking my god you are awesome

[@user-eb6mp2gf6y]

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.

[@devon.dulaney]

dangggg! This helps so much! Can't wait for more! (take your time through bro you've got this)

[@theopats2660]

This is a very well made tutorial

You deserve so much more recognition! Verry good video !

[@jordanhuang5892]

Loved this, thanks!

[@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!

[@joekaprod]

This is such a great effect! I can't wait to use this on my next event recap video :D P.S. There are expressions you can use to separate the layers equally across time automatically, which will save you a tremendous amount of time.

[@lukem5798]

This tutorial is awesome .. so much quLITY ! Wow thanks

[@Shykun]

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

[@spookybalamains]

[@ThatOneGuySS]

[@NRGvideoproduction]

[@user-gh1ss7su6z]

[@stuffbymaria]

[@dixieechann]

[@ItsKuruk]

Quality content 🔥

[@dhaloh]

Make more tutorials please. Wonderful quality!

[@imanolbourdoncle3466]

Really great tutorial man, i'm surprised you don't have much subs, keep up !

[@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

[@garyhighsnobiety6869]

perfect tut!!

[@hesamsimin9609]

ive been looking for this

[@NBA_TOPS]

great work keep going 🔥

[@arnaudsimon3265]

That is brilliant, thanks a lot !

[@cubesaga94]

Love the production. Quick question regarding the parenting : what if I offset the layers by one frame and then parent all layers to the data? It would not have the same effect?

[@Cineinsaner]

Awesome tutorial keep going.

[@Cocubin]

thanks men. havnt done this yet might give it a try

[@brigfilms7386]

[@mohammedzohan6629]

That's so sickk

[@tonyhopecreative]

Really great tutorial. Makes me wish I worked in sports. Workflow question. Would it be easier/faster to export the initial video as a png sequence and take those frames into Photoshop and use the background removal tool?

[@animaaioficial]

thx, great tutorial!

It is a good format

[@FabiolaFranyutti]

How do you finish the effect so its doesn´t stay still, like you do on min 6:20, where the rotoscope layers go inward. Please help, GREAT tutorial, almsot have everything but that last bit. Mine looks weird. Thanks

[@LoveStrokeRadio]
