[@Halfulll]

That region of interest trick is gold... never knew you could do that. Thanks!

[@heatherseidel9771]

Yes! So glad you're back. Please keep them coming!

[@ChristianLyric101]

Hi Mt Mograph ! Nice tricks as always, the last one is huge ! For the tip "convert primate shapes to vertices" you have a common bug at 4:05 when you play the animation ! And I say that for the others, i think you know that : The shape doesn't have the proper animation --> To correct that, make an other vertex anywhere on the path of the shape and place your keys again. (sorry for my english)

[@EnterTheOrb]

Always a delight seeing you in my sub box.

[@MikeKellyisawesome]

These kind of posts are really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Hope to see more quick tips like these.

[@satanases]

[@XanderDesigns]

*YES! YOU ARE BACK! You are my favorite youtuber, thanks for these awesome tips!*

[@esotericsean]

How do you retime a group of keyframes like you did at 4:40? That looks so useful!

[@MichaelBlanco]

That first trick was AMAAAAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!

[@loganwalsh]

Nice tips! Welcome back!

[@taironymedeiros]

Nice tricks Mt. Thanks for sharing!

[@mr_dreamyaf]

super helpful video.. glad to see you back

[@CinemaByteProductions]

Woh these tricks are sweet. Thanks man, love your tutorials!

[@MacGuruVideos]

Great Video! Thanks for showing us these awesome tricks! :)

[@DoctorBatmanMD]

Nice, didn't know about the vertices transform box or the convert to bezier path. Very cool Matt :)

[@mustard2155]

Love these. I had no idea #3 was a thing, I've wanted to do that for such a long time. Do more videos like this!

[@AugustusHinton]

My jaw dropped during the Vertices Transform Box segment. That would have saved me about 7203945823 hours on my last project. Thank you for literally the course of my future.

[@martineschoyez]

i always learn new tools when i already do the same thing in troglodite way :D

[@shredlock9896]

Nice to see you back :D

[@jasonjantzen]

Great to see you back, Matt! I've been fiddling with the pre-release version of AE, on a PC anyway, and ROI seems to be fixed. No more black screen. You could also use an auto-crop script, and keep the relative positioning at the same time. I submitted a bug report for that wonky behavior that 'Convert to Bezier' shape produces with scaling down and then popping into position on the next keyframe. It's been doing that since they introduced that feature.

[@nultse]

Great tricks, thanks!

[@OTProd]

Awesome work as always! I've learned so much from your videos. Keep on killin it!

[@VikTheGreat360]

Great video matt!

[@johnathanlim]

thanks for the tips! It helps me so much on my workflow! Appreciate it

[@lookadoo709]

New graphics/animations are dope man!

[@KuneMaster]

There is a name your own price script on aescripts called "Auto Crop"... it automatically crops your precomps down to all visible objects. Very handy tool.

[@obedience1967]

I really like your tutorial!

[@dhaniskawistoro1066]

Thanks for a great tutorial matt! i've watched your videos since not to able to do motion graphic. and now, i can handle some project that i learned from your tutorial, making some money for solve my tuition fee, and able to work in a post production. i wish someday i can make tutorial like you too. Sorry for bad english:( is not my native language by the way. Big thanks from me, you're the legend! Internet high-fiveeee

[@RemoFiore]

Another awesome quick tips... man I'm fillin' my brain cells today

[@DuoRekt]

Hey with the first tip, you can also just make a mask over the comp that you precomed and then lock that mask, that way you get the same effect but everything stays in the same place

[@ExtonGraphics]

this is just soo helpful, thanks for sharing and thank god you are back :)

[@ShodanKid]

So, there is a bug in shape paths currently that actually got shown here. When you convert the shape path to a bezier path, it isn't registering correctly when you animate the points, it doesnt seem to know what to do...it scales down to nothing then pops back. However, I did find that if you copied the path, and deleted it, added a new path to the shape layer and pasted it, it works as expected. Now if they can fix this and shift+rotation snapping for paths as well I'd be so happy. Sooooooo happy!

[@dangehin7416]

+ShodanKid I was going to say the same thing, though I haven't tried copying and pasting the path. Thanks for the tip!

[@GeekPeek]

welcome back

[@DragonFrostPlaysMC1]

Thanks for the tips 😀

[@AbualHassanPervaizAkther]

you are amazing :D i am starting to learn Aftereffects from You ^^

[@ExtonGraphics]

Sadly I already knew 4 of them, still very helpful. The path scale thing also works by selecting your points and pressing the standart cmd+T to transform and it actually also works with masks, yes you read right, with MASKS!

[@jippalippa]

Hey Mat, could there be an update for "Motion" which would display the easing values of keyframes?

[@Tom_Swiss]

"Region of interest" that's helpful! Thanks!

[@nightcorewarrior3126]

thanks you so much ! i learn a lot from you :>

[@travz21]

You the real MVP

[@marizkacahyawindyastari8191]

Thank You so much :)

[@BernardBertrand]

Ha ha , you are hilarious , and great stuff as always . I use motion everyday

[@dasaca07]

Hi, helpful trick!

[@Adrijouli]

Hi Mate !! Those tricks or quite cool !! Just a little question about the last one ! I've done the same stuff as you, but when the expression is set, the results give me a "coma" with lots of number after (like 99.4566654367 then 100, but I just want 99)... and I don't know why...Do you have any idea how to get rid off those extra number ?? Thanks in advance mate, cheers !

[@TheDillaMonster]

Looking forward to the wingman series

[@3asharaat]

I love your videos man :). But i have a problem. Each time i export in .h264 codec. Colors of exported file are different from the colors i see in After Effects or Premiere preview. On VLC colors are more *contrasty* . but on KZbin they look *washed out*. What should i do to export accurate colors?

[@tubbycustard8866]

You're so chill it's unreal, literally had to put on a jacket when I turned this on Love ya man :D

[@mashakos5377]

highly recommend "auto crop" script...does what "region of interest" does but automatically, keeps the comp in the same position, and it's free! available on "ae scripts" site.

[@mohammedaboarab2961]

that's helpful! Thanks

[@DeepakMaheshwarymz]

thanksss.. helpfull

[@PotatoArtzTM]

Thank you ^-^

[@eddiegomezcruz]

Nice Summit.

[@googleg8650]

[@mattiapovolo5749]

You are the best :)

[@messiahad]

how'd you do the vertices one?

[@ghost_killer5653]

Very Nice Video !!!! :)

[@amiraawad134]

[@stonecole5883]

Awesome

[@tingtingin]

guess who's back back again

[@yatinsharma3325]

Do cs6 has convert to bezier path option? Because I have clicked the right mouse button for more than hundred times it doesn't happen

[@Joanarkj]

how do i do the 2nd tick shape¿?

[@xiangletang4497]

long time no see..........

[@MiikaWasHere]

Everyone who liked the first tip will love script called Auto-crop. It can crop multiple comps at the same time based on the content. It can be found from aescripts.com

[@M.a.d.animation]

I alway get to learn new stuff

[@landryamick6178]

pls POST MORE

[@Grumpist1]

My god, your AE layout look's like a fresh nightmare to me. But whatever works.

[@hamzaahmad1801]

Your Instagram ??

[@uvgotproblmz]

Dude... that path transform. I feel so dumb. I had no idea. So many wasted nights.

[@Yuhara_rev]

[@jeremysurls]

It's been too long!
