Your videos are great reminders of the - for me - forgotten secrets in the drop down menus! Thanks again!!

[@awesomestrandy]

These are going to be my new favorite effects!

Thank you James, as useful as ever.

I just bought this software and i'm excited to learn it! ❤

Great voice

It's an AI cloned voice.

I've used this effect to create GIFs of objects rotating.

Huge fan of your tuts!

Why isn’t the pixelated filter available as a non destructive layer?

[@grappihook1686]

This is awesome! It can be used to create color palette from an image!

[@stevenlitvintchouk3131]

There is an easier way to do that though. In the Swatches panel, select the "hamburger" (three-line) menu in the upper-right corner and then select "Create palette from Image..." A dialog box will pop up that lets you specify how many colors you want in the palette.

Thank you for sharing 🔥🔥🔥

You have a great voice James, but, as a humble suggestion, I'd consider to use an audio plugin to remove the sibilance. Thank you for these videos!

[@JamesRitson]

Hi, what are you listening with? I test on my monitors at home, monitors at work, two pairs of headphones and Apple Earbuds (notoriously bad for exacerbating sibilance) to get a good idea of how the de-esser should be set (dual band). You would be surprised how aggressive it already is! [Edit] OK, with earbuds blasted at full volume I can hear it. Hopefully future videos will be less sibilant 👍

[@yuli3873]

Hey! I'm using some old Samson SR950 headphones. Either way, it's not a major issue, it could just be me, but I figured I'd mention it considering the high quality of your videos. Thank you for replying!

[@JamesRitson]

@@yuli3873 thanks, I have an old pair of Samsons lying around somewhere so I might give it a listen on those as well. If I pump the volume right up on my earbuds the sibilance gets a little uncomfortable, so I'll try and address this for future videos. Thanks!

James, how do you show keys pressed on-screen in your video tutorials? 0:45
