[@yoshiiofficial]

SEQUENCE LAYERS? IT IS A THING? Man I allways learn the unexpected things on these vids, thanks man ! ❤️

[@t00bed]

I wanted to do a light bulb type theatre sign and I knew this was the effect. When I applied it nothing happened. "Jake will know what to do!" I said to myself as I searched for this video. 10 mins after watching, I had what I wanted. Thank you so much for this series. It will be an invaluable resource for so many for so long.

Jake you're saving a Nigerian somebody's life. Thank you!

[@maximumblackness]

Man I've been waiting on you to cover this effect for a while now. You didn't disappoint! Thanks Jake!!

[@TheGodlike300]

such a great tutorial. I"m binge-watching your videos instead of doing my work today 😅

[@MiirVFX]

Just bumped into this channel, this made me understand the effects more!

[@michaelmuller6029]

Lol I've never even heard of this effect before but it seems so useful. I can't even you enough for committing to this series, you'll be remembered forever!

[@bartek_rybinski]

These series are 10/10! 👌 Thanks soooo much for what you're doing! Keep it up!✌😁

[@lungiman7363]

Dude, you have done the thing that Adobe should have done: created a million videos explaining the built in effects. How can I ever repay you Sir? because your videos are so helpful

[@supervillainx6761]

These videos have been so helpful. The way you explain as well as showcase is done extremely well also. Thank you much for all the time you put into these

[@VishalHazarika08]

Sequence layer tip is so nice! I always use to offset it manually

[@zohaibmalik819]

AMAZING Tutorial! This effect is great and enjoyed the tutorial as always. Thanks for sharing these great and interesting effects with us. I love After Effects more and more day by day as we are learning new things from you.

[@kalpitkatpara4562]

I just cant thank you enough! You are amazing!!

[@einzelbild_TM]

fantastic tutorials. Thank you. Still learning new things about after effects every day

[@otito12345]

Great and Merciful After Effects Lord!

[@mohit96mb]

Just realised this is the perfect effect to emulate a laser etching machine, the way it does those randome edges, and then the shape shows up!

[@gustavosaliola]

In those years i've made some "Vegas Light Style" motion titles in AE and always animated each bulb with hold keyframes. Now i see this and think "Never is too late for learning". Thanks (Again) Jake!

[@comsci]

Amazing effect and amazing tutorial ! 🔥

[@hennyjunjang5759]

Hate to be that guy, but you forgot to link to the Andrew Cramer video in your description. Love these videos!

[@JakeInMotion]

very informative, thank you ❤

[@adventureswithshaunandbrody]

Very good!

[@baliyachtservices7505]

Thank you thank you

[@jorgenmalmo]

Use the Overlapping when you use Sequense Layser so do you not need to do all the cutting and so on. I have a tutorial on that. Its called "7 After Effects tips and tricks - You must know"

[@TyboAudio]

I kinda wished you showed the effect in the very beginning. I didn’t realize what the effect would even do until more than half way thru the video. Still great watch tho! Very informative

[@NiniConstable]

Hi! How do I make the stroke move in the opposite direction? I tried reversing the path like you do for trim paths, but nothing seems to work :(

[@JeffBorger]

Any text I try this effect on, it always comes out as jagged lines. They looked aliased and skewed. Followed your section at 11:36 to a T, also. Strange.

[@JoseBronxRican]

There was no mention of this - maybe because it calls back to a bygone era and needed an old-head like me to explain it - but the ostensible original application for an effect like this is implied in the effect's name. "Vegas" (no relation to the NLE video editor) refers to Las Vegas, where the place is packed with giant marquee signs surrounded by bright light bulbs that light up in sequence around the entire sign, sometimes around individual letters. That's what the default setting emulates, and it's probably the idea behind the effect you see in Photoshop when you draw a selection (called a "marquee"). Oddly enough, you don't see it on the Balrog stage in Street Fighter II.

[@JakeInMotion]

You're absolutely right, and I did know that! Andrew Kramer actually has a fantastic text styling tutorial where he uses Vegas to generate the marquee style lighting around letters.

[@kadirakca4020]

3 times did not start, but then it worked

[@lokmanzero00]

It is amazing Tutorial! It helps me a lot Also i love your logo opening ! Could you make the Tutorial video about making your logo !!

[@JakeInMotion]

I did! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKDVoneLeJKUjMU

[@lokmanzero00]

i am sorry that I haven't seen it🥲 thank you very much!!!

[@Zengane]

God I could have used this in one of my projects, instead of making a shape layer with a stroke that has dashes and animating it with a trim path, this seems much more easy to use, although is there a way to make the dashes with squared corners instead of round ? that would make it much more versatile

[@JakeInMotion]

Not natively, but you could try using the minimax effect and see what happens.

[@ZainAli-ti1mf]

could a do a universal tutorial of "jack in motion text animation of your intro" is there anyway to just make a template of that specific text animation?

[@Zengane]

There's already one on his channel, I haven't checked it out but got it recommended quite a few times

[@ZainAli-ti1mf]

@@Zengane that's not universal , you gotta do each letter individually . watch both tutorials A24 and his own intro .

[@ZainAli-ti1mf]

@@Zengane i wanna find a way so u can change text n the animation works

[@JakeInMotion]

Yeah, that's really not possible. The closest thing would be the scalewipe effect, but that's probably not going to do what you want.

[@ZainAli-ti1mf]

@@JakeInMotion i have an idea but it will work with 1 specific font .Thanks for the reply anyways

[@gfhjghjhgjh]

can i put this effect over a png shape?
