Work FASTER with these FREE tools! | Battle Axe Updates

[@Juergkrebs]

Danke!

[@kikon78]

What??? The rythm sync tool is madness!!! Jaaaakeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

[@noel-forte]

SAME. I’ve been using beatgrid on projects for a while, and now with the addition of color-coded keys, pseudo-effects, and frame snapping, it’s become even better! 🎉

[@Bilarooo]

Even my Motion Design professor always refers to Jake In Motion and your tutorials lol. You MAKE the scene! (also really enjoyed your Expression class an Skillshare) :)

[@JakeInMotion]

Hey, that's a solid prof right there. 😆

[@Bilarooo]

@@JakeInMotion She is lol. Who doesn't appreciate a good JiM-Tutorial though :D

[@brandondohner8061]

You know I LOVE a good VOID update! Adam is awesome for listening to community feedback & implementing it

[@goranthoren5522]

Wow! Freeze transformation at last!!!!

[@mediocreape]

You guys do so much for the motion graphics community, thank you!

[@ethan-candelario]

THANK YOU for the Void updates! (Specifically the void renaming, that was a big pet peeve with the old version)

[@andrewbui7418]

I clicked on this video so fast that even Usain Bolt would be jealous! Thank you Jake and Battle Axe~

[@BlackWinterProduction]

Thank you Jake! I absolutely love Void, and have never created a null since installing it :) Very useful for parenting!

[@zaibshaikh_exe]

Thanks for these tools! These are amazing 🤩

[@tedcalandra7745]

Thanks for the updaete video. I love all BattleAxe's tools, and you do such a great job teaching them. Hylean actually would have saved me a lot of time today. I had duplicate shape layers, but the matte shape layer was a merge paths/intersect. I had just linked all the paths manually before watching this.

[@thibault1636]

A great use for Hylian is to duplicate a layer with layer styles (let's say an inner shadow), and change the blending options to make it transparent and add another inner shadow (i.e. as a color dodge to make a highlight) It's actually extremely useful for this, enables a way to make it changeable

[@brynocerouss]

As always a great video to highlight some great tools :)

[@mj_nooker]

Jake, thanx for this rxplanation, I'll grab Beatgrid! :)

[@drive80studios]

Downloaded void because of this video :)

[@imght1958]

This is amazing!!!!!Beatrid would also work great for Pr. Great work!

[@youdontknowme7138]

Void is soo helpful i guess I was always looking for that

[@Ahmed_Effects]

14:20 can you post update about linking keyframs to in point or out point or both like the one in premiere when applying animation preset

[@tchagolago]

Wow!! Really nice upgrades! Particularly in Void that I use a lot for my character animation! Question: Is there a way to add some effects on Void layers like slant os transform for skew or any workaround to it?

[@JakeInMotion]

Do you mean you want the effects applied to a void layer to affect any children of that void? That would be possible if you copied the effects with property links from the void and pasted them to the layers you wanted to be affected.

[@Nananea]

Awesome, thanks :)

[@DragunnitumGaming]

Oh wow! 😳

[@breecekelsey5705]

I've used the Voids plugin every day since you guys released it 😅

[@Bil8l-b]

Thanks again ❤

[@painted_in_thick]

Okay, I liked it, now I'm going to watch the video. 😁

[@JakeInMotion]

You are my favorite.

[@Harwinder_singh11]

you are doing amazing sir, Question - I am watching your skillshare series advanced topic, Animation principle... I see in 2nd class where you are teaching anticipating box animation where you use the value graph for ease in or out, I want to know why not you used speed graph for that? do we have more options in value graph? because the same thing we can do with the speed graph.... please explain it thanks... I am learning a lot from you. thank you

[@JoshWatkinsVideo]

What about an option for Hylian to (on alt/option click) parent the animated properties but with something like "+value" so that you could adjust the new layer, but still maintain the primary animation from the original? Like adjusting scale, shifting position, etc while maintaining the original animation.

[@briantriesart]

Thank you

[@jumpkut]

Dopeness!

[@motionnerds]

Great tool

[@iamxado]

Hello jake, how do you name a window as your own name for placeholder of your webcam video. please share it.

[@jhulaahhdoonga3710]

Does void work when i parent something in 3d, it throws an issue xpression error 😢

[@floatingdweller247]

im so sorry to ask this oh great Jake, but how do you install these tools in after effects?? i know such a novice question

[@JakeInMotion]

Installation instructions for all of the tools can be found on their product pages. But the KBar source of truth requires that you own KBar. That's a tool made by another third-party developer and you can get it on AE Scripts.

[@indy4s]

This quality of life is revelatory

[@daviddmotion]

I would love to have the same scripts that you have in there on your own personal kbar! :D

[@ryanelliott197]

Adobe needs to be paying you guys

[@GauravUniyalofficial]

i remember seeing a video where u showed some plugin that does 1 click paralax to the layers. can u tell the name?

[@JakeInMotion]

There are a few, but this is one I'd recommend www.aescreens.com/tools/pearelax

[@polystormstudio]

I just tried void on a text layer with the gradient ramp and it just created a null, didn't put nulls on the start and end ramp locations.

[@JakeInMotion]

Did you select the start and end controls before creating the voids?

[@GeneralAccount-v8h]

Lights does not affect element 3d (Void) only affects on default solid layer

[@ebertfr]

🔥

[@PolyglotPlayground101]

how do you create a spacer between those Kbar Menus?

[@JakeInMotion]

It's one of the kbar items when creating a panel.

[@PolyglotPlayground101]

@@JakeInMotion an Item that says "Spacer"? , I don't see it in mine

[@robertsommerlad3940]

Does the Anubis x KBar situation require KBar 2? Or a specific version of Ae? I have everything up to date (apart from KBar 2 which is a seperate purchase and Ae which is one or two versions behind) and I'm still not able to trigger Anubis properly 😢

[@JakeInMotion]

I believe it does require the latest version of KBar.

[@robertsommerlad3940]

@@JakeInMotion ah, rats. oh well, thanks for getting back to me anyway

[@doodlve]

Awesome

[@matt.pereira]

I feel like i am being really dim - is KBar a different product that is not from BattleAxe ? I have downloaded KBar SOT but cannot work out how to install it. Is KBar a paid product from AEScripts that needs to be purchased and installed first ? Thanks in advance!

[@JakeInMotion]

Sorry, yes you've got it right. KBar is another extension (not made by Battle Axe). The source of truth is a collection of buttons made for kbar, if you already own it. Check it out on AE scripts. It's worth every penny.

[@mrestebanmotion]

Hello, ¿Do you need to have Kbar already installed to install "battle axe kbar"? I'm trying to install it but, i can't :/

[@JakeInMotion]

Yes. KBar is a third-party extension made by another developer. Our buttons are designed to work with KBar.

[@seyferf]

Battleaxe Overlord works in AE2024?

[@JakeInMotion]

Absolutely

[@yitzchokschmukler4693]

This is awesome! Quick question: where is the replace Solids/nulls/adjustments in Comp/Project?

[@JakeInMotion]

That's actually the first thing I talk about with the void updates in this video 😀

[@whereisemilwhereisemil]

where can I get the 1.1.1 version? I urgently need the nulls replacement. Thank you!!! That's a fantastic tool! @@JakeInMotion

I'll look into that ASAP.

[@mun336ya]

K BAR is free..?

[@JakeInMotion]

No no no, sorry if that wasn't clear. KBar is a paid extension for After Effects, all of the custom Battle Axe KBar buttons are free to use with KBar.

[@rillaaa5740]

Why does after effects lag so much man I watch people make all this cool stuff man soon as I get 9 to 10 layers in my laptop is wheezing for dear life 🤦🏿‍♂️ I'm upgrading my spec soon but even people with amazing specs say the same thing its like after effects has then insatiable appetite when it comes processing resources

[@JakeInMotion]

It's true, and likely because it's such an old piece of software. Newer programs like Blender and UE5 have the benefit of being developed in a different time period where the development of the software was able to take advantage of modern hardware. Adobe has updated AE just enough to play along with modern hardware for years now but has never really been able to catch up. The unfortunate reality is there's no single-app competitor to AE, and until someone does compete we're likely going to just have to deal with what Adobe gives us.

[@jefflhama]

How I was using this software without this scripts.

Did someone say Free??😊
