Perfect Reflections in After Effects | Animation Tutorial

[@Rockberries]

You're the full package mate! Smooth animator with a great taste in design, straight to the point, generous... Thanks again, your channel is just top notch

[@BenMarriott]

Oh man, thank you so much :) That's so awesome of you to say :D I really appreciate the support

[@guilhermesalles4313]

Your choice of colors makes every step of your process a beautiful frame itself. Goes like this: Add a layer with gradient (perfect) > Add a mask (that's good, no need of extra work) > Add feather (ok, you are going to far on details, stop!) > Add a text on top (stop! I gonna cry of pleasure!) > Add effects (This is a miraculous piece of art! ;-) )

[@BenMarriott]

[@PastelNeigh]

you put a lot of effort into your videos and it really shows, thank you for making these ♥

[@BenMarriott]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked them, that's all that matters!! :)

[@shkim8957]

I am a beginner and this helps me a lot :D it is fast just as another comment mentioned, but OK for me because I can stop anywhere to check what's going on, though I got stuck with the graph (the y axis of my graph is in pixel not in velocity for unknown reason XD)

[@yomnagad658]

Thank you

[@ricardojaimes6604]

TO THE RANCH WITH YOU!

[@jhambgaurav]

Exactly the look I was going for :D

[@TheSatzy6699]

Superb 👌🏻

[@JMVD48]

Thank you, I am trying now, it is good for experts but for me as a beginner way too fast, the changes are not clear enough for me that I cannot copy it at the moment. I would like to learn how to make reflections...

[@nguyetho9282]

thank you very much

[@ericj810]

Can do this with an image to?

[@jacob4316]

I was hoping this video would show how you did the Saturn-like planet with the other orbiting planet. And was waiting to see it on Adobe Live but you never came on their channel. Is it possible for you to do a video showing how you put that comp together completely. Thanks in advance and your work and style is great!

[@BenMarriott]

Hi, thank you so much for the comment. Here's the link to all those 3 episodes I did on Adobe Live last week, hope you'll enjoy :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4OvppuirZ6tjck

0:00 "Refelction"

[@BenMarriott]

Oh lawd. XD

[@gallery1334]

What is it that you do to the Bottom edges of the text? you don't show it in your steps but it's visible in the preview in the start.

[@sparkey543]

No matter what I do, I can't get the mask to create right. It just adds a shape and the background doesn't change. Can you help me out?

[@Animotion1]

hey there! are you trying to create mask on the text/solid layer? make sure you select the layer before creating mask. when no layers are selected, the shape tool will just create shape. but when a layer is selected, it will create mask :) hope this helps!

[@AndrehT666]

We always label our layers

[@MattysEdits]

TO THE RANCH

[@BenMarriott]

Straight there. No hesitation

[@Workbenchtv]

I always knew Dr. Phil was the lady of the lake.

[@chanelcricket1596]

Love you

[@davidkonevky7372]

Damn I didn't expect a mermaid phil inside the tutorial

[@UniverseOfFreeMusic]

wooha I need some speed to follow along this one ^^

[@ferdinandstier2858]

Hi, Ben, first of all, you're the best! And I find it extremely sympathetic that you include politeness among your qualities. Now for my problem: If I increase the value for the Mask Feather, only hard edges appear. I have already googled like crazy, but couldn't find a helpful answer. Do you have any idea what it could be? Best regards :)

[@Animotion1]

Hey Ferdinand! Do you possibly have an effect applied to the layer? if so, try precomp-ing it (with the effect inside the precomp), then apply the mask outside of it. and just make sure your mask is not on the edge of the solid/object. hope this helps!

[@thomaswindfeld728]

FILL/Phill !!!! Hahahaha Love it! :-D

[@justadude05]

Happy April Fools Day Everyone

[@MuhammedSami]

Why are you always in a hurry?

[@BenMarriott]

cause I don't want to waste people's time, just want to get to the point

[@Animotion1]

@@BenMarriott I dont think you're in a hurry at all. It's straight to the point and that's what most people want. :)

Is this a joke
