Nice tutorial, I do dnd edits for people and have just been using ink spread animation overlays. This is a nice tutorial for me to heighten that a bit, I'm not an after effects user but I think I know all the effects I can substitute to achieve this result
What a superb effect, who'd a thought the doubling up of the overlay layer would have such an impact - the man's a genius I tell ya' You have a new subscriber and a like (more of a luv really, but you get the drift...) KP
How can we create a trail or constant path with this “ink effect”, would be nice if we can have a tutorial please, so we can create a narrative story with a camera traveling from point to point telling a story with this ink effect. Hope you realize what I mean. :(
I've tried this without luck. It would require real time affecting the point of ink origin. The effect I describe here though, affects the entire image all at once. You might want to look into the Mr.Mercury effect though, or particle systems, to get the effect you want. I know it can be done, it's just a lot more complicated than it seems. Probably better off trying it in a 3d workspace like blender.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the tiny little "fx" box at the top left of the effect bar. I guess the other thing too, which might be a little obvious, but make sure the image you are working on has a proper alpha channel. If it is a jpg, tif, or png without alpha transparency, than the matte choker effect will only affect the edges of it's square shape (not the targeted central design)
I was unable to recreate the issue you mentioned - It's possible that some image formats might not support matte choker - So if you aren't using a transparent .png I would say try with that and see if the effect shows up.
the last step really made the difference!
this is the foundation of my new channel aesthetics and I am THANKFUL :'D
THIS IS GREAT JIMMY!
Thanks Jess!

Thanks hopefully it is able to transition into other software - I think for the most part the distortion and blurs do the heavy lifting - good luck!
This IS such a dope idea! Thank you for the inspiration
Can I just thank you for sharing this. This is next level awesome. Thanks dude!
Glad you dig it - thanks for checkin it out!
Amazing content , I will support your channel to provide more techniques in after effects, thank u
Thanks for that!
Amazing, thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful!
For the german AE users: In german it's called "Maske unterfüllen". There were no correct translations on the internet.
Very original and clear instructions 👍
Love the Intro animation🤖👏
Thanks!
Lovely Awesome fabulous
very easy to learn

That's the best part about experimenting with layers and effects - every now and again the results are much cooler than expected! Thanks a lot!!
Thank you for this :D
Thank you!
Can you add this to texts or is it only for pics?

@@lazerslab thank you for the suggestion, has been hard journey looking for information to get this technique haha
Could this work with an actual video?
I'm sure it would do something... Not sure if the results would be as predictable or useful - but I'm sure it would be interesting!
My matte choker is not working at all. Is there something I may have switched off to make this happen?

LAZERS LAB found out I had a solid below my png. Daaa. Felt so stupid 🤪 thanks for the awesome tut!
@@LeighWilliamson Ha - been there! Glad it worked out!
hey, my only showing matte effect is mocha shape, do you have an idea why i dont see the choker?

Fantastic! I'll hit you up on instagram with the results !
Do it!
