[@aqueminteressarpossa3445]

Mr Sergei Prokhnevskiy, I'll tell you something... you are a GENIUS! Best brazilian regards

[@ukramedia]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@wshultz55]

Don't worry about over explaining! I needed it.

[@ukramedia]

That's great to hear, Warren!

[@33SNOW33]

You're the man Sergei. Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@ukramedia]

Thank YOU, Braden!

Love your tutorials, and how you explain things. Thank you, Sergei.

Thank YOU, Serge!

This saved my bacon today Sergei, thank you!

[@jonatanmagrao3050]

amazing tut, I really learn a lot with your videos, hope someday be like you hehe. keep the wonderful job ^^ from brazil

[@ukramedia]

Thank you for your kind words, Jonatan!

[@Zoro_-rb1oy]

thanks for this wonderful tutorial.. could you please create a tutorial about responsive composition resolution on the other element inside that.... thank you.......

[@vyskocity]

I really enjoy how easy your tuts are to follow. I don't think you can over-explain something (in my opinion) because it allows the concept to be cemented in my brain over time ha... I am curious...can you apply something similar by linking the anchor points of a shape layer (ie: circle) so that when one circle scales up or down, the other shape layer(s) would also scale up/down? Cheers!

[@ukramedia]

I love your feedback, Thomas! You can do all of that and more with expressions. That's why they are awesome.

[@iGuuude]

So could I also do this with the height, but instead of choosing the biggest number, add all of the values in the array (+some value for margins) to get a box as tall as all layers combined?

[@ukramedia]

Yes, you can do that also. Thanks for watching the tutorial!

[@lucasafonsotonezer9121]

@@ukramedia how to add all the values in the array?

[@RAM_Tv]

@@lucasafonsotonezer9121 yes please, how to do it?

[@MarkWarnerTV]

Many thanks, really clear to understand! I have to use CC2018 on a project. Do you have alternative way to script the spread operator? it only works with the newer javascript engine.

[@MarkWarnerTV]

PS Found it, add this after the "widthList.push...." line and [x] right at the bottom of the expression: x = Math.max.apply(Math, widthList);

[@ukramedia]

@@MarkWarnerTV I was about to answer it and it looks like you found apply. Thanks for watching the tutorial, Mark!

[@rakmichal]

Thanks!!!!

[@AjeetSinghMotion]

please make tutorial on Adaptive Screen Resolution/Composion.. please...

[@ukramedia]

Thanks for the tutorial request, Ajeet! I'll put it on my list.

[@arturmartirosyan6286]

Great Tutorial! You could also use just a simple comparison instead of pushing all variables in an array. var width = 0; if(layerPath.name.match(keyword) && width < layerWidth) width = layerWidth; }

[@ukramedia]

Cool. I'll give it a try. Thanks, Arthur!

[@arturmartirosyan6286]

@@ukramedia Thank you too! Your tutorials are excellent and i've learnd a lot from you! Keep it up! :)

Thank you, Tolga!

[@crazyloco77]

Hi Sergei, is there a workaround to use a custom bezier shape instead of a parametric one with size related expressions?

[@NTProductions]

Is it just me or is the audio off?

[@ukramedia]

Nah... I just talk too fast and my computer can't keep up with me. I'm kidding... I noticed that as well, Nate.

[@NTProductions]

@@ukramedia It seems like it fixes itself as the video progresses!

[@ukramedia]

@@NTProductions OBS has been doing that to me lately. What do you use to record your tutorials?

[@NTProductions]

@@ukramedia OBS haha. But I record my camera separately and sync them in editing

[@ukramedia]

@@NTProductions Gotcha. It's a great tool I'm a bit lazy with that and I record everything on one screen.

KZbin Really need to increase the speed play to x5. I know this is absolutely perfect tutorial for beginners. But I can't watch and learn every single basics once again.

[@ukramedia]

I know what you mean and I hear you. At the same time, I do want people of all levels to get it and not just give them the code. I always struggle with this, should I over-explain or not? If you have any advice, I'm all ears. Thanks!

[@_Anonymous_Participant]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Before I make any more sentence let me make it clear. I don't meant to say your video boring or it's weird to watch. In fact I've started learning lot of things because of your style of this explanations. I'm not a native English speaker. So I might say something it feel different somewhat different than what I tried to convey. I just mean to sound funny in my comment. You should over explain it. because I were a beginner once until I start watching your videos... Thank you for you great tutorials..... :)

[@CarlsSimGuides]

@@ukramedia Something that annoys me with tutorials is that the person giving it starts with how to open a file or create a project. That's my number one pet peeve and I'm glad you don't do that in every tutorial. There's a time and place for that. You know no experienced user will be looking at such basic stuff anyway. In this video, you kind of have to explain all this stuff if you are not only going to show them the expression but rather teach them to actually use it. I really enjoy your tutorials and it's been very helpful to me in learning how to take advantage of what little I know about coding inside After Effects. Thanks a lot for that. Anyway, I definitely see where you're coming from with tutorials and it being a delicate balance to not upset more experienced users. I just wanted to agree with Magical Mystery that you are doing a great job.

[@RAM_Tv]

How can I make the shape grow from the left side and not from the center?

[@Condemic]

Any chance you ever found the answer to this? Looking for the same but can't figure it out myself.

[@RAM_Tv]

Yes, I found it. And there's more than one way to do it@@Condemic

[@Condemic]

How did you do it? 😁

[@Condemic]

Fixed it by adding to the Rectangle Path position. Not sure if that's the best way though.

[@loookclick938]

What an absolute joy to learn. Love it! I would try to implement this in my next project.

[@ukramedia]

Thank you for your kind words, GBC cuts!
