Hello, Alan Marsala. My name is Luis and I'm 21 years old. I'm one of your students from Mt. San Jacinto College. I want to say that I'm a fan of your KZbin Channel and your KZbin videos. And I just want to say that I love being in your online class on the computer. I'm your favorite teacher, because you seem like a nice guy and nice teacher when you treat your students with honor, dignity, and with respect.

[@jcarlzon]

very good tutorial, thank you 😀

[@PhilFlock]

Why'd you stop making videos. Such helpful tutorials!

[@itsalantime]

Still here! Life finds a way of keeping me from editing. Glad you find them helpful!

[@PhilFlock]

@@itsalantime I know what that feels like. Well. I hope life finds a way to get you back to editing. Or find a cheap editor. That's what I did 🤪

[@keithdiamond1294]

I get it, but having some issues on grasping concept. I will repeat this tutorial until get it. Thanks

[@safetyhomeloans950]

Recommend video from YT. Kudos !!! Got yourself a new Sub. Quick question. Do you happen to have a tutorial on creating template effects so as to use them in Shorts video content ? For example. Have a set of 5 in and out animation were you can just drop a new image and or video (as long as they have the same size specs) and have those effect transfer over to FCP? Thanks

[@itsalantime]

Thanks for the sub! Those kind of templates are called MOGRTs in After Effects but they do not play nice with FCP unfortunately.

[@Miramo111]

Hey! I just have a quick question. I´m using the new Beta of AE an whatever I googled, I couldn´t find a solution to my problem. So basically the whole "Track Matte" selection in the editing timeline is gone. Where can I find or active it?

[@itsalantime]

Hey @miramo111, you need to make sure that column is visible. In the timeline panel, if you right-click up where you see the names of the other columns (like 'source name,' 'parent and link,' etc), you will get a pop-up menu for 'Columns.' In your columns list, make sure 'Modes' is checked on. Now you should see the Track Matte options!

[@Miramo111]

@@itsalantime Brooooo thank you so much! It worked🙏

[@untilipeak]
