How To Animate Like Dodford (After Effects Tutorial)

[@DodfordYT]

woah I used to watch these types of tutorials religiously not long ago, now there's one for me that's WILD the result is dope man. I'd personally have less chromatic aberration and edge blur (subtle is always better) and posterize time is where the sauce is really generated. for the blur moving around, it's not a shape layer with turbulent displace - it's fractal noise, which means you don't have to keyframe anything ultimately my principle is always you can't save bad assets with cool effects. my priority is always finding and generating the best archive and images possible, because that's the difference maker as opposed to all of these fancy effects. you killed it though man, great video 👏

[@mapal]

Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to comment and share a little peak into what goes on behind the scenes. I couldn’t agree more about the assets and it clearly shows in your videos. I always preach that using high quality assets is way more important than you think. I’m upset that I didn’t think about using fractal noise to drive the blob instead of the animated shape layer. I’m even more upset that I cut out the part about posterize time… I wasn’t too sure about it so I decided to cut it from the video ugh Again, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. Insanely valuable!!

Special thanks to Mapal for enabling the creation of my new video. I'm truly inspired by Dodford and Magnatesmedia's remarkable video editing style, and I aimed to replicate it. Without Mapal's channel, my video wouldn't have been possible. I'm thrilled to share my new video, all thanks to the encouragement and resources provided by Mapal's channel.

[@riyazahmed4706]

This tutorial is really great value. Thanks for sharing

[@stedbenj]

Duuuude. This is brilliant. Thank you!

[@stedbenj]

Maybe I should be embarrassed that I don't know the guy you're replicating, but that doesn't matter to me. I picked up /so many/ tips and tricks from the way you work.

[@mapal]

Glad you liked it!

[@eduardorosas2122]

Awesome as always!

[@mapal]

Thank you!

[@Shatz]

You are awesome bro keep up this wonderful content

[@mahmoudalakhras2693]

You’re gold ❤ and content very useful 🎉

[@ryansulak]

Seen all the little tricks you do visually to get the end result is really amazing. There’s a lot of steps that go into it I hadn’t realized. I wonder if there is a case for making a template so you don’t have to keep redoing this for each scene.

[@mapal]

There are definitely some things you can do to speed up your workflow. Creating presets etc. super useful if you use a lot of the same stuff

[@joshuakarthikr]

This was so useful! Thank you!

[@mapal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@orlundokhubbard]

Great tut

[@minhazneon8681]

Ken Burns on Speed. Got it.

[@Agherr08]

awesome thanks!

[@wolfartful]

Thanks Dude ✌🏾👌🏾

[@patfranco]

This is amazing man! Thankyou so much. Just a quick side note - does anybody know the font that Dodford uses>

[@InfoCodex]

You are too young yet a master of motion graphics.

[@samicart4105]

thank you so much❤❤❤

[@PhanMotion]

Love the tutorial mate! How do you find the Mac performs with After effects? Notice any slow downs or crashes?

[@mapal]

I’ve always been a Mac user so I can’t compare it to windows BUT it’s been treating me great. Especially on the M1 Mac Studio I use now

[@PhanMotion]

Glad to hear! I've used both mac and PC, but I find even with my PC that's has a great GPU and CPU still struggles with AE. Might consider switching @@mapal

[@EvilishKrimo]

Daaamn 🔥🔥🔥

[@AnirudhBoini-i1k]

Hey man, thanks for all these tutorials, they help me big time, can you please tell me how you get the flashy glitch transitions between your cuts in the video.

[@mapal]

Thank you! They're from acidbite

[@George-jx3qn]

Awesome video once again, I subscribed to Dodford when he was at 10k subscribers due to his editing style and it's awesome to see how you recreated it so well! Where did you get the photo of the TV from, was it StoryBlocks?

[@mapal]

That one in particular I think was made using adobe firefly

[@Hashi07]

Thanks!

[@mapal]

Thank you! Appreciate the tip, you really didn’t have to! 🫶

[@editedbycm]

Where do you find your assets? Great tutorial :)

[@mapal]

I’ve made a video on it before but maybe it’s time to update it 🤔

[@danieltacuyeah]

Could you start providing the assets used in the video in the description, so that we can do it while watching the video, would qppreciate it!

[@riwajsingh4390]

Love this video... Can you make next video on the animations of Leon Motions. Thank you

[@cherifouyahia2570]

Hey man thanks for putting your knowledge so everyone can learn from you for free , can you please provide assets in your next tutorials so we can practice with you maybe?

[@AmericanDischord]

Are you related to Elon? You kind of look like him. Also, just started using After Effects. Just subbed. TY for the tutorial.

Thank you very much for the tutorial, it is so good! What is the plugin you use to arrange the speed with the graphs? Thanks!

[@mapal]

It’s a plugin called Flow

@@mapal thanks!

[@ReallyOD]

do you have a video setting up your workspace? im new to this and trying to move around premiere is kind of difficult especially listening to a pro

[@carlclippedit]

On the 505 podcast Dodford speaks about how he actually sets up the editing and he starts with a Google doc script with hyper links from all the Broll

[@mapal]

That’s dope! I’ll have to check it out

[@tablawesome]

please make a video on how to create that ali abdaal type paper unfold effect (as it is), i have literally searched the whole internet for that, please

[@mapal]

Already have kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2SxgJKthJ1_b8k

[@SupunLankage]

Lovely...

[@muhammadzohair2819]

Love From Pakistan. Can i get a Heart. Omg i love your Content.

[@mapal]

Hahaha thank you

[@Barti_ST]

Hey i love the video! I have a question would you make a video on how to edit like Jeremy Etheir I want to get into creating gym videos but I want to add a little bit of spice into it just like Jeremy does but I don't know how to make edits like he

[@vervain7689]

i need a tutorial on the thumbnail as well! it's looking really good.

[@mapal]

Thank you! Might have to do that

[@NIKHILM-on2gw]

If possible please share your most used sfx, music or how to find them btw great work buddy, You'll be on top in Yt game very soon 🤞✨

[@mapal]

Video coming on that exact topic in not too long

[@joseolivares2192]

Thank you for the tutorial! 👏 at 6:51 how did you bring up that panel for levels?

[@mapal]

It’s a free plugin called FX Console that allows you to search for all the effects in after effects and apply them to the selected layer

[@BaraaSafaaali]

Hey buddy. Great videos. Really appreciate all the detail and breakdowns. I would appreciate it if you can do one breakdowns on the bytebytego channel videos. This would mean a lot to me

[@JavonCardinale]

🐐

[@UnforgottenTales1]

Quick question, you seem to be editing in frames like (00:12f, etc). How do you know that these correspond to in the timeline of the video you're editing, perhaps in Premiere Pro? How do match your After Effects animations to a music soundtrack or VO, for example? Because Premiere Pro works off of seconds, I'd like to know how you match them up

[@mapal]

If I’m animating to something like a voice over or a piece of music I will have that in the composition as well. I’ll have to do a video about my workflow!

[@Lastman_777]

🔥🔥🔥

[@farhanshah6688]

This shit is soooo GOATEDDDD

[@mapal]

🫶

[@Historyunveiled23]

Bro please make sure you provide the assets for us ,you use to practice it It helps a lot !!

[@marcuscarter]

Amazing, do you teach?

[@mapal]

Like outside of the KZbin videos?

[@marcuscarter]

@@mapalyes, private or group classes maybe?

[@bl1ank956]

quick question, what is the difference between adding a solid blur map layer and just masking the adj layer that has the blur effect on it?

[@mapal]

With a blur map it’s a lot easier to get the blob look. Especially if you use fractal noise to drive the black and white values. In general I also find it easier to anime a shape than a path. Few more options

[@bl1ank956]

@@mapalappreciate it man!
