I have to admit that we live in beautiful times. Access to knowledge is so easy. At the age of 34, I can learn things that interest me, without spending money and leaving the house. I appreciate the work of people like you who make it possible for me. Your tutorials are really great :)

I have absolutely no idea what you're saying because I don't speak Adobe language but cool animations
Haha, thanks for watching then! :)

I don’t even know why I’m watching I just know it’s a cool animation
At least you know
We *always label our layers*
The One weird nerd in your comment section
Yep I definitely understand that. I even do that myself when I use photoshop and illustrator because I always have like tons of layers and groups and it's hard to keep track
This looks fantastic!
Thanks mate :)
Yep!

ben you are an absolute godsend. thank you for all of the wonderful knowledge you've made available to all of us
Me after watching this video: *"There is no secret ingredient"*
Haha, there really isn't! :)
Secret ingredient is hard work, experience, and time!
You can easily get a good intro without adobe after effects. Don’t waste time and money on this and use a free software.
No secret ingredient, only pure skill
I love how you explain bit by bit. Simple explanation to how to make specific thing! Might apply this in my tutorial in the future
Your animations and your intro are the cutest and most adorable things I have ever seen. Great job!!!
Lovee how concise your videos are. Its so hard to find tutorials made for people that already have the fundamentals of after effects down.
Thanks so much, Lauren :)
Incredible animation techniques. I would love to see more and to learn more about how to become a better animator.
Keep up the great work
Ben, you are a blessing in the creative community.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I'm new at animation and Adobe After Effects and I badly wanted to learn. Really thankful that I found your channel!
This is amazing Ben !
I loooove the colours and the animation is as smooth as butter. Good job! 😍
(I am a huge Alex fan aha) :D
Thank you so much!!! :)
Woah! This is absolutely awesome!!! I love the shading style so much :D Awesome job :)
Thank you so much for showing your process... As a Mom, i've been unable to work for a while and now i'm trying to get back in shape and your tips and tricks and processes have been wonderful!!! Thank you Ben!
I love the fact that i always get inspired from your work wherever i am down.
that's super awesome! love the colors, motion and composition!
Timecodes: (Expression at the bottom)
*Blobs* - 0:58
*Burst* - 2:13
*Dog legs* - 3:40
_Expression used:_
s = [];
ps = parent.transform.scale.value;
for (i = 0; i < ps.length; i++){
s[i] = value[i]*100/ps[i]
}
s
0:05
I really love your videos man. I'm still new to animating stuffs but seeing your works, it gives me energy to learn and explore. Keep going man!
Thank you Ben for the awesome tuts, I can't wait to try out some of the steps
For anyone using the scaling expression the new update breaks it! Here is how to fix it. Simply replace all the "s" with "scale" instead. Your code should look like this:
s = [];
ps = parent.transform.scale.value;
for (i = 0; i < ps.length; i++){
s[i] = value[i]*100/ps[i];
}
s
Updated May 2023
OMG THANKS
This still doesn't seem to be working
@@keeks0_0 It works if your anchor point is at the center of the object that is being parented to the null. In the context of the video, the dog's anchor point is at the center of the dog, not the center of the composition.
Everyone who want to use that expression, use any variable instead of "scale"! In this situation, "scale" is a property, so this code below should work:
s = [];
ps = parent.transform.scale.value;
for (i = 0; i < ps.length; i++){
s[i] = value[i]*100/ps[i];
}
s

OOOOH I just started using Rough Animator with ProCreate, and love that there's a script for importing RA to AE. Would love to see more Rough Animator integrated tutorials in the future, you do a great job explaining and showing the process.
Thank you so much for the suggestion and feedback, I will definitely try to make more of them! :)
Just writing the expression for copy paste purposes
s = [];
ps =
parent.transform.scale.value;
for (i = 0; i< ps.length; i++){
s[i] = value[i]*100/ps[i];
}
s
this is such an intuitive straight to the point animation workflow video! thank you so much, i am smiling all throughout the video and smiling even more when the segment of how you animated the doggo came up
Yooo, loving your iPad workflow. Thanks for making this. You are crushing it.
I'm a high school animation student, and this was SO cool and interesting to watch!
Loved it! Workflow tutorials are so cool, specially yours Ben!
Thank you so much, Nicolas :)
Awesome stuff Ben! 🔥Keep this content rolling and we will keep watching! Love how you have the approach we already know our way around after effects, saves so much time!!
Thank you so much for the support, Tom! :)
I'm always left open mouth everytime i watch your videos...the edition and the way you teach are just adorable!
Thank you so much! That's so awesome of you to say :)
Amazing! Really interesting to see your workflow
So good! Amazing how much you cram in such a short time Ben. Keepem coming!

That expression makes it so much easier! I have no idea what it means though, can you do a tutorial on expressions? Love your tutorials, I always learn something new from you!
This is awesome!! I'm about to do my first paid intro animation job, and you've given me so much to think about. I loved seeing the steps of your process, and I'm feeling much more prepared to tackle this.
Thanks for this, I love learning the process behind these animations
Called out at 4:15. I TRY, Ben. I TRY. Great tutorial - and the animation is SO cute.
Dude, thanks!!! You're the best.
that null object is pretty powerful and the script as well. Thank you for the breakdown process incorporating the frame by frame animation. This was very helpful
My pleasure :)
my gooood your workflow is a total revelation to me ! i didn't know we can export script from roughanimator to after effect.. thank you for sharing this !!!!
Best youtuber out there atm.
Thank you so much for the amazing compliment :)
So sick dude! Amazing to finally the final product after all the insta teasers haha
Haha, thank you so much for the support, Isaac!! :)
Amazing! Thank you for. Going through, and showing the script to edit the object size!
Just amazing!
TH-cam recommendations are really a mystery WellPoint got a new subb
This was amazing! Thank you for another great video ❤️
My pleasure, thank you so much :)
Thanks for this vid Ben! I always wonder about your intro in every videooo!
Congratulations for 300k subscribers 🔥🔥🎉🎉
Glad to see creative people are still contributing to the intro community :)
HOLY CRAP TGOD YOU'RE ALIVE? WHAT HAPPENED
Ahhh been waiting to see this since the teasers on Instagram! Learned something about the expression, because I would just attached it to the null and scaled the objects up which I would then play with the scale trying to make it as it it burst onto the scene😅.
I wouldn’t mind learning more about expressions in the future because that’s something quite complex to understand (at least for me).
I amazed just by watching that dog legs part 😍
This is incredible, great tutorial Ben!
uuuh shit that scaling expression blew my mind! Really cool!!
I don’t even have a pc but I’m watching for fun
Just randomly discovered this and its super helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this, such a great explanation!! I feel like I've learned so much so quickly.
Hey Ben, Loved the video!❤️❤️❤️
I have a query, my brother is 11 years old and really interested in animation. He is just a beginner and really wants to learn more, what are your suggestions for him, which software he should start from apart from learning the sketching/drawing and illustration part?
Thanks🙂
Wait hold up hold up
*ROUGHANIMATOR?*
THAT 3$ APP IN THE APP AND PLAY STORE?

Vungmuny Animations well it basically costs $5.00 dollars since it’s $4.99 dollars.
Nevaeh M. Oh it’s $2.99 for me

Thank you I’ve been wondering about this for a while now.
Are the boxes actual 3d how are you doing those?
Or is it just paths?
Yeah I wonder how too
im guessing he made a rough sketch of cube rotating on 3d and then ... well his workflow
ok so for the diamond I looked up "diamond rotation in after effects" on TH-cam, there are tutorials, it's actually very simple :)
The intro makes me feel watching Discovery Channel.... HAHAHAHA
I’m just now getting into after effects. Your tutorials are SUPER HELPFUL thank you so much!!!
My pleasure, Joshua :)
THIS IS SO NICE
YOU HAVE

Haha, cheers! :)
This reminds me of Adventure Time
This is awesome! You made it waay less complicated that it looked!
Excellent tutorial as always. Thanks Ben.
something about the fact that the intro to this channel starts with a bat’s ass hits different
Why does this get so little views?
And an image of a gorilla saying
Poo poo
Gets like 100000 views
Well....
haha, thank you so much!!! :)
Cause most People are stupid af
A few days ago i saw a channel that only uploads short clips from a car rolling over things like milk, melons etc.
It has 3 million subs.
Another awesome tutorial Ben. Gonna try me some straight ahead animation! I love the spontaneity of it. Thank you
You're welcome, glad you liked this method!! :)
you’re an amazing designer I love 😮🤩
this shit looks so complicated this def requires some talent
How did u do the crystal? it looks like a 3d object
Search "diamond rotation in after effects" in TH-cam, there are tutorials, very simple :)
