[@umbrellasquid9669]

Honestly these VFX not only look but feel incredible, amazing work!

[@elchristomusic]

[@evansojuka1399]

This is by far the best Ae compositing tutorial since VideoCopilot

[@chillu420]

Ig this is one of the best tutorials for compositing explosions on youtube.

[@LayyaCinematics]

True

[@TheSfelex]

The soothing voice, the teaching techniques, the stuff i learned, all are amazing!!

[@mr.kechari]

Wow, I'm absolutely amazed by the incredible work you're doing with visual effects on your channel! Your videos really look like they came straight out of a Hollywood film. The visual effects are incredibly realistic and fluid, and they add a fantastic dimension to each video. I'm also impressed by your talent for editing and storytelling. Your videos are always engaging and entertaining, and I can't wait to see what you'll produce next. Additionally, I want to point out how clear and understandable your tutorial explanations are. You're really great at conveying your VFX expertise to your audience. Thanks to you, I feel much more comfortable exploring VFX techniques in my own projects. Again, congratulations on your excellent work and keep inspiring us with your creativity!

I’ve been doing after effects for quite a while, so I know how to do most of this, but… Most after effects tutorials suck! Yours is a master class on how to give a tutorial. Close to perfection. You explain things simply, succinctly, no stupid rock music playing in the background… you can actually annunciate… and elements You even offer up many of the elements. You are a breath of fresh air.

[@tubax926]

yup and he doesn't skip any steps so even if im stuck i can comfortably seek back the play and find the part where i was stuck and learn from it. That's how a tutorial should be.

[@JetsaritWong]

Where did you get the footage of the guy operating the drone from or did you video that yourself?

Big fan of Jake tutorials 🔥 Thanks

[@walterjohnson8192]

What are the specs of the PC you are using to edit with. I'm looking to upgrade my computer and am checking in with people who use After Effects a lot and want responsiveness when editing, without a lot of waiting.

[@paradoxxmkml]

you got my sub fam, the knowledge contained in this video if just *chef kiss*

[@f6image]

Great tutorial. Short enough and all is there. Good job. People that make tuto like you are teacher to many of us. !

I am loving ur tutoria now bcos bfor d way ur other crew teach is too fast but now u teach us slowly so i realy enjoy dis, pls tell d other crew to follow ur teaching step, infact u re super in teaching unlike ur other people

Brother Please Upload the Video Footage of the Shot Used in the Tutorial

[@josephnjovuvisuals]

That intro gave an Andrew Kramer vibe.. 😅❤❤❤❤❤ great tutorial, great work

[@JustinMarinelli]

Great video! I have a question for you to take this one step further. I notice you're downloading the explosion animation that someone else created. What if I wanted to make my own? I'm currently making my own film, and I'd like to have a smoke VFX. I want to film smoke over a black background, and then compose it over my actual film. Do you know of a way I can start learning how to do this? Keep in mind I have almost 0 experience with video editing software, so I'm not even sure where I should start my research

[@lloydgalero2799]

where I can get the video without the effects?

[@kodkod69]

thank you for this tutorial i learned motion tracking importing assets and matching it with source footage thanks for the immense knowledge thank you gigachad

[@AnimeProtagonistFun]

Learning these adobe softwares to bulster my resume. Its a literal part time job that I seem to hate going to. Then Im looking at you just ripping through these tutorials...absolutely insane-you are a TALENTED MFer.

[@lakshorts]

Thank you so much for free stuff on production crate

[@chosen_oNEO]

A really good one but what could take it to the next lvl is some of that robot debris scattering in the sky and then falling down

[@ProductionCrate]

Absolutely! That’s a cool idea

[@EnglishStorytimeAudiobooksMeo]

Oh great! This is what I need to create my next video! Thanks a lot!

[@MrFoxfinance]

I like the pace of your tutorial.

[@Factum_Pedia]

Very good but it's just missing the brightness when the explosion happen. 👍

[@leeroderick]

Curious, when you did the time remapping on the dirt layers, all of those remapped clips were slowed down, right? Instead, could you have just left the end keys in their place and extended the layers so they "hold" the last frame? That way they stay at their original speed. Or was the intention to also slow them down? Great tutorial, I hope this helps the majority of people who submit their work to your contests.

[@ravenwestr1681]

yup this caught my attention too

Great tutorial !!! very easy to understand . thanks man

[@thisguygames4221]

That was cool! Fancy giving us a tutorial on how to composite that drone? cause that looked awesome

[@ProductionCrate]

Jake is planning a drone tutorial!

[@matthewdelaney6826]

@@ProductionCrate Yes, we need some 3D tutorials for assets used in AE. Plenty already for Blender and Cinema 4D, but hardly any for AE. Keep up the great work, you guys make such user friendly tutorials.

[@kkapotas]

There are a lot of people out there that thinks after effects it's not good for compositing. But the truth is that this is not a software issue. It's about compositing skills. Compositing is not just a puzzle. Stuck in layers above another. It is a difficult job. There are so many mistakes in that tutorial. Your camera footage change in position and rotation but you tracked only position and in a tree far away when the robot is closer to us. So you have wrong Parallax. You are doing color correction with srgb values instead of linear color space and based on your eyes. There are tutorials out there on how to cc different footages. You thing that a good roto is obsolete and you use that silly rotobrush. There is a nuclear blast out there but the lights on your character dosent change at all. Layers with opacity less then 100%. There is not such a thing in the nature. There are also tutorials how to achieve that. And so on and so on. A nuke artist would work on that shot for at least 2 days and you have managed to completed in a half of an hour. You passed to people the meaning that compositing is an easy stuff. It is not!! Try to learn from professionals nuke artists some compositing skills and try to replicate them in after effects.

[@SynnerX]

Can you paste a link to your composition in nuke that I assume you've done, and done better, if that's the case? Would be great to see a comparison from a pro such as yourself. 😃

[@ravenwestr1681]

Easy, I'm pretty sure this was just a demonstration or an ad for the productioncrate assets itself

[@hagoldmoviez6244]

You're damn right 👍💯

[@unbelievablegaming2970]

Oh yes, this dude should upload a 48 hour tutorial on complete in depth nuke compositing ☠️, pretty sure this tut was more aimed towards beginners and to show off their assets

[@ash7324]

Why not frame your criticisms as an addition to the tutorial, be constructive, not just a dick.

[@hotzenmonster]

I'm an idiot for not subbing a very, very long time ago. Here now! Great stuff.

Insanely good turtorial !

Thank you sir for this easy tutorial video.. others would've charged hefty amount for it.... #Respect 🙌

[@sammer7555]

Hello, are the free sound effects available on your site suitable for use on all programs such as KZbin, Facebook, etc.?

[@Will-lf2zb]

I have a question, do you prefer to work in log footage or color graded footage? and which process is better?

[@ProductionCrate]

totally depends! If it's a quick video, we may shoot without log and just record rec709. If we're going for something a bit higher-end, recording log and working in ACES is a great workflow for us

[@dyenksdys]

Amazing work bro. Thanks for the information God bless you

[@pixelking]

Awesome tutorial. But rather than use the time remap have you ever thought of using the freeze last frame. It automatically extends the clips for you.

[@tropicalhousemusic601]

Hello, you could do a composition tutorial but with natron VFX? Please?

[@JNJstudios]

Okay. This looked AMAZING

too much things that makes look cool but also cheap at the same time. but great job helped a lot your technic, thank you.

[@amirfaisal8570]

how can i get the video?

[@Wisdombluetooth]

Forgot that the shock wave has stronger effect on character, his clothes, hair, and of course grass and trees, robot made of solids, should have debris.

[@Achievers724]

Thanks Jake God bless you brother lots of love from pakistan

[@Chromecast_Eternal]

only problem I have with this video is the fact that it's all self promotion, I'm happy with the video that I made but I had to spend money to make it and it does not look at good at this video, as there are specific assets you can't use with the basic plan for production crate. I know there are alternative websites out there and I'm going to look through them, but production crate was appealing with their visual quality. In short, cool outcome, don't like the money I put into it, nor the fact I need to put more to make it look "cool"

[@Carlovfx]

Your forgot to track rotation and to add rimlight from the explosion on the actor.

[@spartanvstudios]

this is brilliant. Please can you make an animation tutorial of how you done the drone and mech as thats what really sells this :). Was it blender by any chance and imported with element 3d?

[@ProductionCrate]

It was done with c4d, we are planning a tutorial and a lot of the information will be applicable to blender!

[@SynnerX]

@@ProductionCrate Yeah that'd be sweet! I saw the assets on the site and I'm like "Yeah... they don't move like that on the site..?" 🤔😂

[@JornadaGv]

amazing work!

[@KienQuanCreates]

Tiktok creator here. I’ve been winging it and getting 95% without looking at tutorials. But the 5% extra that I picked up from here is golden.

[@killbotfelwick]

VFX producer here, I can guarantee you aren't getting anywhere near 95% by "winging" it. Saying you get to 95% by winging it is a massive insult to the thousands of VFX artists working 40+ hours a week

[@TerrorFromTheStudio]

but what if i dont want to pay

[@ravikirangone]

i need video for practice that only man walks back with out blast effect one 2sec video plz share me the link where can i download from

[@tenden2566]

Excuse me for asking this, but is after effects still in demand on the market today?

[@InsanePatient2]

100% most people use it today

[@ProductionCrate]

Yes it is still widely used in many commercial, indie, TV and music video projects. We are seeing an increase in DaVinci users and Nuke has always been a standard for higher end compositing, however the principle fundamentals remain the same no matter the software

[@ЧЕЛЛЕНДЖЕР-ю4щ]
