Simple, straight to the point and easy to follow, another amazing tutorial 👏

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Glad to hear, enjoy 😊

[@faith-kj4pg]

These are the best tutorials on KZbin! They are quick, to the point, and very easy to follow. I often get lost in other tutorials and end up making a key mistake, and I have no way of fixing it except to start over. These videos are the best for learning needed skills you can add to later projects.

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Glad the method's working then♥️

[@belaidt6801]

Nice.

Thanks!

[@MusicIsMyAnswer]

This worked perfectly on text in After Effects. Thank you! Is there a way to add this same effect to a group of vector shapes. I have a text logo in Illustrator that I would like to give the safe effect to. Thanks x

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately this particular effect is only possible to do with after effects text layers

[@MusicIsMyAnswer]

Thank you! I ended up creating my own font using the letters from the logo and used the font to create the effect :)@@SmertimbaGraphics

[@elhunterdeleft4567]

Very good video, straight to the point and very well explained

[@andrewtsvir5030]

What a great channel! If not difficult, can you suggest the same about motion design? Thanks!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thank you, will see what I can do 😊

[@2424rocket]

Nice job, better without the glow.

[@eddarnold]

Hey George, thank you so much for this. I am having an issue when I play the animation, each letter simply appears rather than flickers on and off. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You need to reduce the smoothness like shown in the video, then it will flicker

[@eddarnold]

@@SmertimbaGraphics Thank you! Got it working, really great video! Appreciate such a speedy reply too

[@roseleperlier1991]

Thanks for your video :)how can I make the letters flick at the same time?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Set the option to words or lines instead of characters.

[@OneWingedAngel849]

Great video, I'm trying to follow along with this tutorial but I'm using version 2023 and it seems they've removed the animate button lol any help?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thank you. The animate button is still there in after effects 2023, I have confirmed that myself. Maybe you've made a mistake on the way?

[@OneWingedAngel849]

@@SmertimbaGraphics I may have to check around, it's the second thing I've noticed isn't where it used to be, I know it's in the program but whenever I use the drop-down menu it doesn't have an animate button. I'll rewatch and keep trying though thank you.

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Just to make sure, are you are dealing with a text layer? Because only text layers have animate button. Something like a logo does not have it.

[@OneWingedAngel849]

@@SmertimbaGraphics Ah I see, well that clears things up. sadly I was using a logo but I found a work around thanks again.

Montserrat font

i cant get to the project file the link isnt working. btw amazing video!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

I've just checked and it's working, you need to unzip the file

[@mrjasonblackman]

Hey George - when i hit play, it goes through the flicker cycle once and then stops at the 1 second mark... how are you making it so that yours repeats?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Hey, I pretty much play the timeline multiple times, set out point by pressing N at one second

[@mrjasonblackman]

Thanks so much! @@SmertimbaGraphics

[@ChurchillTrumata]

Can you do this with saber plug in?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yeah, but you need to add flicker via saber

[@Foxy-eb5xt]

nice tutorial bur why my letter dont flick it appear but that all, not appear dissapear, appear, thx

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You sure you have followed tutorial correctly?

[@williamso264]

can you do this with a logo rather than type?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

It is possible, but would require a completely different approach, since logo would not have all those built in animators that text layers do.

how do i use the montserrat font after i download it?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Unzip and install the files

[@dishantsharma6562]

Can we add Background in it??

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yes you can

[@lukogrowth]

how can I slow down the effect at the end? I want it flicker fast then slowly at the end

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You can apply easy ease to keyframes and change the speed graph of the animation and create additional keyframes closer to the end.

[@lukogrowth]

@@SmertimbaGraphics but what do I change?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Apply easy ease to keyframes and make animation go fast at the start, that should work, also move end keyframes further into the timeline.

[@lukogrowth]

@@SmertimbaGraphics do I change the random seed speed to high at the start and low at the end? If I move the end keyframes to further, it slows the entire thing down - but I want to only slow the last 0.25 seconds down!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Create extra start and random seed keyframes like 0.25 seconds or so before the end, set random seed really high like 1000, then move 1 frame forward and set it back to low, like 30. Then move end keyframes forward to slow down the end animation.

[@hatimworld2249]

how can i make the flicker endless using expresiion

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

to make it endless set start to a certain value like 50% without making a keyframe on it, then animate random seed, alt click on stopwatch, then type time*10 for example

[@hatimworld2249]

@@SmertimbaGraphics thank you

[@myzxr9550]

how to remove inside text? like not being white

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Remove text that has fill and leave only stroke text

[@subme247]

What font is this? Ty

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

It's Montserrat, download link in description

[@bradfab_fx]

What if I want to manipulate one single letter

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You can apply the effect to as many letters as you want

[@aleksandr.v100]

Why don't you show which version you're doing it in?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

I don't think it matters because this animation is done the same way in all versions. It was done in after effects 2022.
