[@SmallBohemianFerret]

So happy I found this channel!!!!

[@gustavodepaulaa]

Happy is just a little word to explain how I'm feeling now, this channel is AWESOME, Thank you dude!

[@xAzoriax]

This is seriously so badass. I'm going to school for VFX and motion graphics now at the Art Institute and we haven't even covered any real motion graphics content yet, but watching this has given me a little more hope that some day I'll be able to actually do some of the things the professionals do out there. I think it just takes a lot of practice and constantly learning new techniques, as that has to be half the battle lol. Thanks for this awesome tutorial!

[@darrensmart7439]

You make it look so easy. I'm just getting into motion graphics myself and your videos are a massive help so thank you for taking the time to create these.

[@GiulioMoura]

By far the best tut I've ever seen... You did everything detailed, step by step explained, worring about your viewers to follow up the project. With all the tips, short keys, infos and knowledge! It was an honor to watch till the start to the end! Thank you so much, subscribed and waiting for more! :)

[@montanajace]

I know this video was made a year ago, but I just wanted to say I do appreciate the part of the video where you go over the illustrator background work! Though I do know how to work illustrator, it's nice to see how the workflow is from beginning to end and how the shapes in illustrator are used in after effects! Great tutorials! I've found much inspiration from your tutorials!

[@phuanhmatrix]

It's just tiring, following you through the whole process. So I can realize all the hard work and effort you put into this. Can't appreciate enough. Stay strong and keep posting great things. Thank you buddy!

[@heysuk]

I really appreciate the longer tutorials. They go really in-depth and I find myself coming to them again and again for the wealth of information they provide. Thank you!

[@taylorgreen7503]

Where have you been all my life. Clear, concise, and no annoying music. This was the inspiration I needed. THANK YOU!!

[@DwaipayanMazumder]

You, man, are so amazing! First, you made such a useful tutorial. Second, you actually went through the trouble of keeping it all in one video. Third, you've been talking for an hour straight explaining stuff in such details and that too without a stop. Hats off to your efforts, man. I'm so glad I actually found your channel. I don't usually comment, but this time I just had to. Hope you get my appreciation.

[@rebeccaleah2851]

Thanks for doing the part in Illustrator... It helped to see the whole process from scratch. Plus, I would've made a clipping mask, so this was good to know. Thank you so much!

[@AndyRhye]

You don't have to apologize for the video being that long. I found it one of the most useful for myself in this category. It's great that you repeat a lot of tricks several times here. Perfection hides in repetition. Thank you!

[@gwill50]

You Sir, are awesome. Love the way you show thought process in your tutorials, and not worrying about being too rigid!

[@adronnmusic]

just wanted to let you know that showing how to make this stuff is VERY helpful. thank you very much for doing these :)

[@LEE-337]

"Okay, so it's not perfect..." Don't say that any more. It was the shit and that's why I'm here. Stop selling yourself short.

It´s perfect.

[@Madelope]

Something a lot of creative's suffer from :(

[@buglow8018]

I think that he is not the only one doing that 😂 ..

[@adelinec.4049]

Yeah it sounds annoying sometimes,, I think usually for specialists, they are not satisfied with their works, also, they are telling learners that this is not the level we should pursue, it should be higher.

[@normalityAL]

ahahaha

[@Kamikazebra]

I've learned more about After Effects and Illustrator from this video alone than from an entire semester of motion graphics. There were a lot of points where you weren't sure if you were over or under explaining things but I found it all easy to follow and very informative. Keep these up, they're an awesome resource even for beginners like me.

[@raminwinroth]

I REALLY REALLY appreciate you doing things from scratch to finish and showing everything. I'm new to illustrator and AE and I want to learn just this and this was super helpful. Thanks a bunch!

[@fallondavis747]

Thanks for the video. And yes, its okay that you're repeating things. Repetition helps us learn!

[@Aliensqueakytoy]

***** Love the vids, really do. I'm new to illustrator. So it's a little fast (I can still keep up) but after effects and everything is just awesome

[@Aliensqueakytoy]

Aliensqueakytoy P.s. In your newer vids, how do you have that like blue text? it looks really nice and slick. I like really nice and slick ;)

[@BobBobberon]

repeat stuff-repeat stuff-repeat stuff!!

[@sodomanski]

In illistrator tip: when you are making the coffe cup: select the bottom ancer points, tipe "s" and drag to the middle.

[@rskieball]

I've been wondering how to do this!! Thanks!

[@Alaa.bencze]

Thanks Matt! Great Video. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything over and over. Please kepp them coming!!

[@comeinandb]

Wow that was one of the best tutorials I've ever seen... so great explanations and pacing. Plus it's very rare to see some solid techniques for these type of transitions. Thanks so much!!!

[@maaxeduardo]

Hey Mt! Friend u can make a tutorial about the concept and tecniques of minimalist illustrations? U is amazing in your illustration in your projects. Really thnks so so much for share your ideas w/ we! Bye see Yah!

[@FredrikBurmester]

Awesome! I learned soooo much! U should have millions of subs!

[@Razorhead777]

so true i just found him yday!! already watched 5 of AE tuts!! awesomeness

[@DrewHaysProductions]

At 5:48 when you mention whether the Illustrator stuff is useful... I give that a resounding YES. Your tutorials have been extremely useful to me and have helped me grow not only as a motion graphics artist, but as a graphic designer (I have minimal experience with Illustrator, so your tutorials help a ton). Including your process in Illustrator has been a lifesaver. Thanks for all you do! Keep up the great work.

[@herbs7x7]

been looking for path transitioning tutorials for a bit now and none of them made me happy. this one i liked after the first twenty seconds, because you know instantly that its gonna cover useful basics

[@prod.hxrford3896]

"gonna try to keep it under 40 minutes", first reaction is to check if the video is 40 minutes

[@7almoooh]

+SURREAL Studios I did the same :D but I don't mind even if he spent 24 hours

[@Patdonnellyiscool]

Definitely keep doing the illustrator stuff!

[@Patdonnellyiscool]

***** Definitely! I've primarily worked as a vfx compositor but this summer I landed an animation/motion graphics job and your tutorials got me in great shape to hit the ground running :D

[@FarenheightTV]

thank you so much for sharing your craft, knowledge and humor with the wrld! so happy i found this channel, i just completed a projected inspired by your slick object transition today and already feel motivated and determined for the new year! whoohoo 2016 looks great! thank you so much again, you are brilliant and i love tutorials like this especially being very new to motion graphics, this helps my skills and confidence a ton :D

[@jiggajanz]

The fact that you mention the short cuts a lot is very helpful. Awesome way to memorize them and streamline workflow. Great tutorial!

[@1anchit]

Illustrator part is very helpful. Please keep entire process in video so that we know whats happening. Like Making characters in Illustrator in some way to animate them in some way in after effects is still a mystery to me as there are few tutorials explaining the connection. Puppet tool of AE isnt really that great due to distortion and precision with starch tool. Some tutorials on that would be helpful, though I think you have some videos on that, Ill check them out after these ones. Thanks a ton!

[@2modern2Bgenius]

kzbin.info/aero/PLRckK2qRXQPHsjJ34c6ppLNuKBEQt0MYx if you are into character animation, this guy is tons of help

[@sagarbhagat2710]

nice, thanks...for video

[@Bizzle74]

i like your channel because you actually show us how to create the layers in illustrator, some you tubers dont and just assume we know how to

[@jamietripplet3555]

Thankyou so much for these, These tutorials are whats helped me through my journey in after effects. I come to these videos for every problem and have learned so much. You are a legend, my friend. Thankyou

[@JennahLeland]

YES PLS DO TUTORIALS ON HOW TO MAKE STUFF IN ILLUSTRATOR HAHA (caps)

[@Tuaniikun]

i love you

[@alejandroparedes7793]

Hahahah Mt. Mograph even Jesus loves u

[@ozzyeyre]

Really appreciate you taking time out to show us this!

[@donspringer2812]

Your tutorials are fantastic man, keep the After Effects stuff comin! And I see no issue in going through the illustrator setup at the beginning, I like knowing exactly how you did everything.

[@MichaelItliongVFX]

man your tutorials are amazing... I have a subscription to digital tutors and pay around 40 bucks a month and their quality of motion graphics tutorials are nowhere near this good!!!... their tutorials are so tedious and boring!..

[@AlSamZar]

I'm a programmer, but I always wanted to learn motion graphics like this,... but after I watched this... well, I'm gonna stick to coding lol.

[@bilaltariq50]

i also thought that designers play while programmers work

[@AlSamZar]

***** well, I think programming is still harder coz it rely mostly in smart thinking and continuous practice, but Design rely mostly in being skilled and creative

[@ECAPS.]

I have dabbled in both coding (HTML, CSS, JS, web stuff) and design (AI, AE, PS) leaning more towards design. I'm still a beginner for my skill level but honestly, I think both are equally as difficult :)

[@Madelope]

A huge portion of After effects uses coding, took me about 6-8 years to become extremely comfortable with it. As a designer, I find it is always good to have at least some coding skills anyways (I find this is a lost art with a lot of designers). But I know many designers who program, and their work is close to top notch.

[@ashtonhealan]

Designers say the same thing. lol

[@gabdaluz1033]

Thank you man for this tut! This probably are those rare times I keep up with about an hour of tutorial :D Great Job!

[@0201emi]

Big THANK YOU to you!! Without this video I might not know how to do my project at school!!!!! Really good explanations, really can feel your care of the viewers to really understand you, not just doing it to show off. Really BIG APPRECIATION to you!!!! ALL THE BEST!

[@martinlinggajaya]

I know this is a hard request, but can you make a tutorial about how you develop ideas before making motion graphics? Since I think that's the most difficult step in the process of making motion graphics.

[@rasterbasetuts1929]

+Martin Linggajaya Learn to see and think. "Everything is a Remix" KZbin it. Do some googling about conscious and subconscious. The Power of Repitition. How ideas occur in our subconscious mind. Repitition, The Learning Plateau. Also youtube this thing "Verbal to Visual". Also "Design Basics by David A. Lauer" may help you. Good luck.

[@martinlinggajaya]

Raster Base Tuts thanks a lot. Will look them up.

[@rasterbasetuts1929]

u welcome

+Martin Linggajaya Don't forget to leave a comment.

[@canvastic]

I have After Effects CS5 and the option of creating shapes from vector layer is not available for me. So what should I do?

[@AXYGaming]

+SD Origami get CS6

[@ins3446]

same problem... what to do?

[@uu55a]

u don't have to follow the process, just use pen tool to create a new shape layer,therefore it will have control points (yet these aren't appear), and first click shape layer(under "contents" layer), then click path layer to add an new keyframe, you'll find controls points shown on the screen.

[@canvastic]

Thanks, Kosugi! :D

[@retrofuzzuk3672]

This one video made me learn so much stuff , even the little things such as different coloured objects on the timeline! Thanks! Keep it up!

[@annatrojanowska4949]

You're not annoying, these are awesome! Thank you!!

[@mariusfinnstun]

Nice video, but I miss the old intro music.. this is too much like the dubstep everyone else and their dog uses when making *awesome* tutorials. You are classier than this, sir.

[@ModestMouser]

***** I completely agree that the old tune is better. I was actually just thinking about how much I love the minimalism of your intro, without the lame overproduced explosions and blasting dubstep. And then I saw this video and I was like whaaaaaat?

[@mariusfinnstun]

***** You sir are a gentleman and a scolar. I really loved the minimalism. You have your own style and its relatively unique in the overproducedness that is tutorials on youtube. You also listen to your audience, which means alot. Keep it up Mr. Mograph!

[@benbf]

***** Maybe consider a new third option for the intro tune? The dubstep is a bit mainstream, but I found that the minor/major chord confusion in the old tune always threw me off. Excellent videos though!

[@benbf]

No Problem! Thanks for the vids! Your tutorials helped me create the little opening sequence for my Kickstarter campaign here: kck.st/1s3Bxrq

[@fruityang9681]

Will you marry me?

[@ensiesaeedi7631]

:)))))

[@mauriciomaciel944]

I'm so grateful for these videos! Thank you so much!

[@Nhionlyone]

Please do more of this. I love videos like this. Thanks Mt Mograph

[@ZaffaMan91]

[@BelangerFilms]

Thanks so much for making these tutorials! I just found this channel recently, and these videos have been very helpful. Keep up the good work!

[@artiexus]

Great tutorial, I was able to follow along and did not mind the repetition since it created familiarity with the necessary tools. The fact that it's HD, along with the keyboard pop-ups, is very much appreciated.

[@nahabiz]

This is absolutely great. This is the first video from you that I have watched. I have subscribed and now I'm going to start from Summit 1. Great, great job!

[@3washoka]

thank you so much for these tutorials ! words are not not enough to describe how thankful i am !!

[@Thomas-kg3cx]

Thank you so much for your videos! I really love them and appreciate your work.

[@carlosRmoore]

so simple to follow yet this just opened up my imagination to many more things that can be accomplished with that alpha matte layers! THANKS!!!!

[@Tikiman273]

Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. You're doing awesome work with these summits.

[@shalayaholliday4705]

I just want to let you know that I am so in love with your tutorials!!! Dont worry about apologizing all the time. I'm just glad you are doing these tutorials! :3

[@yellow8877]

this video realy helped me understand the basic premises of after affects. the repetition helped me get my head around all of the methods of manipulating objects and the constant change in time. Thank you for this.

[@nicoleaskeland]

Awesome tutorials! I jumped for joy when I discovered your channel--it's exactly what I've been looking for! Especially the "hipster" style, please keep 'em coming!

[@googleg8650]

YES!!! We got through it! Mt thankts so much for the tuition its tutorials helped me heaps.

[@TheSmallville1000]

Tutorials are really, really awesome. Thanks for sharing your ideas Mt. Mograph.

[@shannamassie7206]

thanks so much for creating this tutorial! I'm a first time After Effects user and your videos help me gain so much knowledge and confidence to use the program. Keep up the fantastic work! :)

[@craftsydaddy]

That is sick slick! Was looking for the same effect over the web for hours! Thank you for sharing!

[@AndreasHogeland]

Good tut and fun as always! Your videos have helped to make sense of after effects and they are simply great. AND the old intro (logo and music) is what made me look at ur videos to begin with, classy.

[@sydvaughn6537]

I would love more of these style of tutorials, great work man.

[@mazet4125]

This is such a great tutorial! I'm really glad I stumbled on this while I was looking for tutorials! Thanks so much!

[@axiverse01]

I feel like a knob because I've watched so many of your videos and honestly without your channel I wouldn't have touched/gone near after effects again. So thanks a bunch for all the time you put into your videos :)

[@BenjaminDreux]

You did great really ! Thanks for the video. Showing shortcuts in the same times is REALLY helpful. I'm new to After Effects. This is the best tutorial I've seen. So thank you man ! ;-)

[@andrygarza]

you are amazing! thanks for taking the time to make this videos! love the way you teach!

[@jojomarion]

Great video, I have been wanting to learn animation in Ae for so long. 3 Summit videos down and I am getting the hang - really appreciate you showing the entire process, including the illustrator piece - it is great to follow along step by step!

[@scroggins88]

Seriously fantastic tutorial. The way you integrated the track mattes instead of strictly masks has saved me a ton of time on other projects.

[@fastlane1500]

Loved the speed of this one. Great work! Thanks!

[@BattleAddictGaming]

I love how you explain every single thing your doing, but not make the audience feel like babies (Especially advanced users). I didn't even realise that I watched the whole video it was so good! Congrats!

[@TheDillaMonster]

Amazing! Followed step by step for the first transition then I could do it on my own for practice. Clear and incredibly useful tut thanks mr. mt.

[@stephaniekawan5792]

You are such a wonderful teacher, I have learned heaps with your tutorials. You videos are very refreshing. I hope you will continue doing this.

[@emergencyfacts]

Finally found the first relevant tutorial for what i was looking for. And Special Thanks for the illustrator stuff.

[@PaulaMarkert]

Just discovered your channel. Amazing! I'm learning so much. Keep up the good work.

[@AlohaMichaelDaly]

Great Job - a marathon - plenty to learn here and the repeating elements are most helpful in the learning process.

[@henkel777]

Great work. I am following this from first summit and I ve learned so much. Thanks!

[@ReuniteRecords]

Saw your first vid at 200 subs.. now at 13k! Which you deserve so much!

[@TheSkullito]

This channel gets better and better!

[@DrNitro09]

Maaan this video is awesome... you are extremely helpful! I hope you get more and more visits because you do an awesome job explaining and keeping things neat and clear for us AE and Illustrator aficionados. Keep up the good work!

[@jeramiahkorbisch2734]

Great tutorials and very up to date! Thanks for making these!

[@laurenbajorek7920]

This was so helpful - I can't believe you made this in 1 hour!! I'm still fairly new to AE but looking forward to giving this a go.

[@maryrees5996]

Brilliant tutorial. Please son don't apologise for repetition. It really helps to see the same things over and over. helps get them in my head. Love your tutorial!!

[@DaemonInkz]

I was inspired by flat design motion graphics from some amazing people on Dribbble, and then found this tutorial. Thanks for making this tut as it's really helped my start out making some basic animation.

[@SteveACEon]

Love all series of video! they are helpful ! thank you ,dude!

[@lillysmith3566]

This video is so good!!Thank you for sharing and for detailed tutorial!Please keep on posting similar videos, it helps us a lot!!! Again, thank you!!!

[@MrMac-tq3zm]

Three years later, and this is still helping! Thanks, Matt!

[@jadelau7453]

The little key tab you have at the bottom is very useful. Great tutorial!

[@JuanXPrats]

I found this tutorial incredibly thankful! I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge and the time you put into it, thanks man!!

[@XanderDesigns]

Mate, you tutorials are awesome and amazing, you learn thousands of people things and so on, you are like the best teacher on earth, and all your fans and viewers are students, you make things so much easier and you absolutely rock. You absolutely deserve more subs with all these views and awesome tutorials, if I could donate, I would, and all your scripts are amazing. Before I found this channel, I watched alot of worse tutorials with worse motion and graphics, etc. But now that I've found your channel, you've helped me so much, in one week I made super cool animations and graphics!

[@irenexiong423]

Thank you so much for the tutorials! I'm a beginner to motion graphics and I have learnt a lot from your videos!

[@Babakanian]

Best video for a Beginner + 1 learner. I was looking for a project that teaches start to finish so to learn both workflow, common techniques and tips and tricks. The pace is perfect so Thank you very much.

[@fabioecco]

The most helpful motion tutorial I've seen here. Thank you!

[@backup_hdd]

Love your tutorials! I like these motion graphics :)

[@iotech3155]

I love your videos, really clear, and they've helped me become a much much better animator
