Omg i needed this 😍

[@blockparty_]

I've been using After Effects for about 9 years now and I've only heard of one of these plugins. My jaw was dropped throughout the video. You sir earned yourself a new sub and I smashed the keyframes outta that like button.

[@danielpark8416]

Nice to see some useful plugins listed that aren't always at the top of everyone's list. You cited at least a few I wasn't aware of that look hella useful.

[@asishmarandy6469]

I never heard any of these plug-ins accept flow. Nobody talk about these. These Plug-ins are amazing! thank you so much

[@shanemcknight1583]

Some really great plugins showcased here. I have used some of them and they are really time savers and helps workflow immensely! Good vid!!!

[@Trenzilla]

Thank you so much for sharing these. I have Flow and it's been an incredible help. I definitely wanna get some of these, especially watertower. It will definitely help with future work!

[@ausdoug974]

Very helpful. I just changed over from Resolve and really appreciate the opportunity to learn about helpful plugins. Thank you.

[@mattwest8642]

Thanks man, this is gold, getting back to AE after some time away, wow things have changed!

[@tanishbanswal4990]

good job!!!!!

[@mohanswarup4035]

This guy is just awesome

[@aescreens]

Thanks for the Type shoutout! 😀

[@ImmortalVision]

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn good looking just gave me the power to get on after effect full time

[@11305205219]

*I recommend Motion 2*

[@Shoto_5473]

Bro you got some crazy pc specs 💀💥

[@user-to2tm2zl2j]

Thanks for the video! How did you make the character, align and other panels open and close on click?

[@Xezem]

I'mma get that after ease rn

[@rohitchhabra4922]

Loved the video.. Just a suggestion : Try using Text Exploder instead of Decompose Text. It also makes the bounding box around the object. As seen in the video, Decompose Text did not do that.

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

Good tip! Will try it out!

[@akashsarkar1989]

Can i use all these scripts & plugins along with after effects 2020??

[@raviranjan554]

thank for this video, reall needed this

[@NickandCindyDavis]

Can you use flow for speed ramping or is it just for graphics. I mean if I’m using retiming can I apply the graphs to video clips?

[@arpanchuddlers]

whats the shortcut for creating keyframes like you were doing for FLOW tutorial..

[@alphatech__]

Next video on premiere pro plugins 😊

[@schahzaad84]

Is there any way to change the flow from value to speed?

[@hengheng2744]

My after ease seems to override my flow settings.. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[@hadiaalami3066]

🔝🔝🔝👌

[@TheSuperStroker]

FX Console is the best

[@anishpriyan.m5010]

How to export as MP4 in after effects????

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

You can do that natively in AE now from the render queue!

[@yashasmehta]

first!

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

Nice one

[@himsxoxo]

can't find cracked version of type😂😂

[@LearnHowToEditStuff]

Haha don’t use cracks! Pay for useful and helpful things!

[@himsxoxo]

@@LearnHowToEditStuff I do bro🙌🏼 but not everything comes under budget🤞🏼

[@eliasdenny529]

Thank you Learn how to edit stuff guy

[@minimumapature3361]

Most of these should have come default with After Effects. What the fuck was Adobe doing with all our money lmao

[@zephyrmvm]

been editing for over 12 years, made major comercials for biggest companies in norway and never used or heard of a single plugin here lmfao, probably only thing ive heard of here is fx console for efficiency, but other then that most cc or anything els of a plugin here is completly for amatures, if u know what ur doing u dont need any of these especially

[@TECSHINOOBI]

Maybe you just did easy projects ,thats why

[@zephyrmvm]

@@TECSHINOOBI bro im litterly explaining that he only mention noob plugins u dont even need if you have a little knowledge, learn how to read mr braindead lmfao

[@unspecialist]

If you are still commenting on after effects comment sections that says a lot about the market you have lost 12 years in 😂

[@zephyrmvm]

@@unspecialist literally been collabing with people in serious vfx studios working for major big screen companies, like stop talking about stuff you've got no clue about. got rott your brain somewhere els lmfao

[@bf109h]

Hey, could you share some of your projects?

[@bryanalcantarfilms]
