I recommend making the modes in illustrator and import it as ''retain layer size''. That way lining up is super easy.

[@darkhorseagency]

Still works! I followed this exactly to get the scrolling slot machine text effect, then hid all the coloured boxes and moved the text closer so that it was the white text on black background, with scrolling last word, which I was originally after! Thank you for this tutorial.

[@TrippingTulips]

This was awesome! It helped tremendously! Thanks, man!

[@SirYuri]

Yeah! Thanks Caleb - amazing tutorials my friend

[@EditorLava]

2022 and it still works! This was really cool to make honestly!

[@AurumVG]

[@caleblancaster]

Aurum Haha, just scrolling through the comments here and saw your comment. Glad you liked it!

[@ErikThureson]

Nicely done!

[@giuliagentile3972]

Great tutorial! I was able to use it on a current project and it worked out perfectly.

[@mytheditzz7979]

where is that slot machine animation ?

[@jessenunes6895]

Great tutorial! Thx!

[@LogjamzBro]

Wouldn't it be easier to precompose the 3 difficulties with the res you need then use an offset effect instead of duplicating

[@954SONIC]

Thank you so much!

[@feyfoxtrott2653]

thanks! very helpful!

[@pyrojason]

Anyone have the project file anymore? :D

[@HerrRoman]

Very nice and amazing tutorial - as always! Buuuut... Is it possible to reupload project file please? 🤞 Thank you very much!

[@The-KL]

Hey man is there an updated link?

[@RichardMillerMMVVIDEO]

thank you but have motion blur enabled and didn't seem to take, it moves nicely but not with motion blur...checked and rechecked all settings and are correct.. ideas

[@KeithMarrocco]

It kinda seems like this could be accomplished programmatically with an expression... but this is definitely an improvement over the original.

[@ethandominibautista1249]

THANK YOU!!!

[@LiveUPMedia]

hey love this, can we still access the project file?

[@hamzaahmad1801]

Hi Caleb ! Do a tutorial on Glitch effect just like Watch Dogs (Game) ! Great videos !

[@polariti1820]

Agreed. That would be awesome

[@vinnytsstormtracker7287]

great video ! one question tho, how did you access the "motion2" window?

[@sunflowermediaco.7735]

It's a (reasonably priced) purchasable plug-in by Mt. Mograph.

[@allemaaldesigns6502]

Music? :D

[@michellejohnson3768]

hey thanks for the tutorial seriously helped me out, just one thing... after i've made the vid land on one option how do i animate it to land on another? like for example it lands on medium.. pause spins again lands on easy? sorry I'm a new to all of this

[@sunflowermediaco.7735]

Did you figure this out, Michelle?

[@DirtyFan2]

yeah but how do you stop it at a certain " spot " ? Like you go from easy to hard, but how do you make it in a loop where it goes 2-3 rounds but doesn't stop at " hard " but may stop in any of the choices BASED on seconds?

[@thilanand713]

Hi, can u suggest a sound effect for this animation

[@GoombaNL]

Good shit dud

[@thomasmurphy866]

Can you explain why you say rasterizing is good for quality? I come from the Graphic Design world and as far as I’m concerned with anything Illustration, Vectors are always better for quality (except pictures of course). Is this different for video, if so why? Just curious because video and motion graphics is something I’m adding to my portfolio. Besides that question, I’d like to say this is a boss Tutorial! Thank you.

[@BenDurham]

He doesn't seem to have answered you but I'm with you on this. I've been editing video for corporate and weddings for ages and I use vectors whenever possible because of the infinite resolutions and flexibility they offer!

[@thomasmurphy866]

Yes the difference between vector and raster is that one uses math to calculate end points, curves, etc. the other uses pixels and percentages. I disregarded the rasterization and kept the rest of the tutorial and it worked perfectly. If he has an answer, I'd definitely love to hear it though.

[@Roran97]

@@thomasmurphy866 Perhaps a bit late, but I was watching this now: After effects does not output vector graphics. Shape layers kinda work like vector graphics, but the output is always rasterized. What he checked off was "Continuously rasterize". School of Motion has a video on the topic, but basically what happes is that AE calculates what the rasterized image will be like based on the vector input - so it maintains the quality even you you scale it waaaay up (which would look crap with a png for example). Hopefully that makes sense lol

[@olanofilm]

How can I turn it random?

[@UltimateKeyboardWarrior]

can this be used with Javascript? I'm trying to create a slot machine game

[@chubbyBunny94]

the project link looks naughty... or maybe it's just my mind

[@RealKromozone]

Beat playing during 15:00 what beat is that? And if possible full tracklist would be awesome! Dope tutorial loving your vids good work!

[@caleblancaster]

All music came from this mixtape: soundcloud.com/rafi-ki/rafiki-mixtape-016-instrumental-hip-hop-beats-2016

[@RealKromozone]

Thanks a lot man!

[@The-KL]

and whats the font?

[@mastershefu1221]

Hey can you make something like this in after affects and then use it for a website?

[@jamesharbourphotography]

if you exported it as a gif, probably.

[@DjWrekD]

Can we get this text only? 👀

[@nuclear5744]

Why not use RepeTile?

[@RazorRope]

Nice video, how much is Adobe after effects?

[@caleblancaster]

I pay $20/month through the Creative Cloud subscription.

[@WhoisAustin]

has anyone else noticed he sounds exactly like luna the youtuber that talks about life stories ?

[@mytheditzz7979]

the link shows the store doesnt exist

[@yusibethandrea1906]

if you are doing that with jpgs it loses all the quality when scales on the final step

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

I haven’t watched the entire video but have you made sure your rasterization icon is on? Also, if there are comps, make sure, it is on inside the comps as well.

[@adventuresinatingames8092]

@@SThompsonRAMM_1203 I could be wrong but if you make the precomp compositions really thin and tall you should avoid the need for the rasterizing,. since all the shrinking is doing is ensuring that the precomp items stay on the artboard?

[@febry_pake_i_27]

what if we want stop it in medium?

[@dunebasher1971]

You do that with motion keyframes.
