Not even a minute into the tutorial and i already learned something usefull, lol. Instead of removing the bg in photoshop i can do it with this extract effect. Oh boy!
Hi I'm having trouble with this. I do everything you say, but when I get the same point at 3:28 when i go through the path it just makes it slightly transparent and doesn't mask it completely
Very nice tutorial! I suppose if I don't want to buy the script I can mask each one to a new layer by myself? It takes more time but it's possible right?
Great tutorial! 10+ years ago when the "swirls" and "flourishes" were all the rage. I did them all the time using masks/reveal.. should have done the "paint on " never thought of it... :)
Hey Mikey love the videos! I am curious, what Pre Set setting do you use? I noticed your checkered background is always so large. I can't seem to get my background as big as yours, seems to be infinite space. Currently I am trying to do the quick n dirty and need as much space as possible. Thanks so much!
You can adjust the layout however you want, just grab the sides of the windows and move them around. It also helps if you have a really large monitor, I use a 27 incher.
Thanks. It seems though in the QnD video, you are using such large font (300px) at points, though you never are running out of space. I am using 30px and run out of room so quickly. It is making it difficult to practice the QnD
thanks Mikey, i was searching for a good-described video for these kind of animations as in i want to use them in my intro (still can't decide tho) i have a question... where can i get these great looking flowers/flourishes
oh ok thanks... i also want an advice, i want an abstract / artistic intro not those modern ones you see in 80% of channels... would you recommend flourishes?
Hi Mikey, I'm having trouble when using auto-trace. the trace is not on the object , it's on somewhere else, and i could not move the trace to fit the object. do you know what happened? Thx
Flourishes, were they done in PS, I just wanted to try this and everything on line has a black background and or watermark on them. I do not want to rip anyone work off, I was just trying to learn something. So where can I find a flourish I can use to learn on?
***** You should start writing down all of the "How do I....." and send them to me :) lets kill 2 birds, I'll have more tutorial ideas to pull from (trust me, 2 a week is somewhat taxing on my brain) and you can have videos to show them when they ask.
Some of it is simple enough to answer, some of it is process and/or organization, some of it is "crap, it's going to take me forever to explain this, and so and so isn't around", etc. So, if I come across something, I will definitely send it to you, and you can decide if it's applicable or worth a video. Two a week, man! :)
I have downloaded the masktolayers but how do I have it in after effects so i can use it? i cant find anywhere how it tells you to put it on after effects? please help
This is a script, and needs to be installed like any other script. Here is a tutorial on how to install and use scripts. th-cam.com/video/EIm0Sa6noOk/w-d-xo.html
+Joe Bodego What the script is doing, is duplicating the layer for every mask and then deleting the other masks. So if there are 3 masks, it would duplicate it 3 times, and in the first one it would delete mask 2 and 3, the second would delete 1 and 3 and the third would delete 1 and 2.
+After Effects Tutorials w/ Mikey You didn;t answer my question. I auto trace fine, then it makes a mask with 10 mast, my question to you is How do i turn those masks into layers without the script? I hope i made myself clear. I dont have the script so what do i do from there. I think when you do tutorials you must never assume that everyone has the script you have. Its like me doing a tutorial on "Alien Skin" filters for photoshop. Whats going to happen to those that watch and does not have the plugin?
+Joe Bodego First off, just go get the script, its name your own price, so you can get it for free if you want. Also, please re-read my comment, I told you exactly how to do that. for you, duplicate that layer 10 times, and then delete the masks on each layer accept one, leaving one mask per layer.
+Joe Bodego I'm not sure if you just don't know how to read or what, but I have told you how to do it in both comments, I am not refusing to answer your question, you are refusing to read my answers. here it is A THIRD TIME. To make several masks to layers, you first duplicate the layer as many times as you have masks, then delete all but one mask on each layer. Again, just in case you don't believe me or bother to read any of my other comments, here is the direct quotes from the other comments where I answered your question of **How do you make mask to layers without the script** *What the script is doing, is duplicating the layer for every mask and then deleting the other masks. So if there are 3 masks, it would duplicate it 3 times, and in the first one it would delete mask 2 and 3, the second would delete 1 and 3 and the third would delete 1 and 2.* *I told you exactly how to do that. for you, duplicate that layer 10 times, and then delete the masks on each layer accept one, leaving one mask per layer.* So, how is it that i'm and insane and am refusing to answer your simple question?
Dont worry about that we all know made the tutorial leave that copy right stuff we dont need negative fellings on you tube its your work we all now that you voice and names are the maybe the person just like you work and linked it to his youtube peace spend you energies on doning what you good at peace bru
Still remember this one after all these years.
cheers🥰
I love this trick! But what if the flourish curls and overlaps itself? The brush then erases itself over the overlap area.
Not even a minute into the tutorial and i already learned something usefull, lol. Instead of removing the bg in photoshop i can do it with this extract effect. Oh boy!
I guess doing it in Photoshop is the easier approach.
Hi I'm having trouble with this. I do everything you say, but when I get the same point at 3:28 when i go through the path it just makes it slightly transparent and doesn't mask it completely
Equiax make sure your paint brush is set to pure white
***** It fixed it! thanks so much
I don't use flourishes but the techniques shown here will help me immensely and save a lot of time! Thanks!!!
I literally Gasped! The others asked me if everything was alright, lmao! But anyway, this is SO AWESOME! Dude, you're a master!!!!
luv this tutorial!! I've applied on a text layer! and it's COOOL!! thank you so much!! much easier to make a write-on effect!
Very nice tutorial! I suppose if I don't want to buy the script I can mask each one to a new layer by myself? It takes more time but it's possible right?
***** The script is name your own price, so if you wish you could put in zero for the amount, but its nice to give a little to the creator.
Great tutorial!
10+ years ago when the "swirls" and "flourishes" were all the rage. I did them all the time using masks/reveal.. should have done the "paint on " never thought of it... :)
hy, my mask to layer option is not visible in my window option. can you please help?
Hi Mikey the Maskstolayers.jsx is not work on my adobe after effects cc2015 i need your help

Thanks man. This helped a lot. Never thought of using the paint brush to reveal something.
Does using a feather brush (with 0% hardness) have a smoother reveal? :)
thanks Mikey, i was searching for a good-described video for these kind of animations as in i want to use them in my intro (still can't decide tho)
i have a question... where can i get these great looking flowers/flourishes
Kuyosaki I just searched google for them.
oh ok thanks...

Hey Mikey, quick question. The script is not being accepted by after effects, says its' incompatible with it. Any work around?
Today I spent 4h on 8 sec long intro. I have no energy to animate any more today xD But I will watch that tut anyway :D
This is great!! I'm fascinated with your channel!
Thanks for great tut. Enjoyed it and learnt something new
Very helpfull video. Thanks man!
My color on the flourish is simi transparent and then fills in the rest of the color. HELP!
Nice. Guy just asked me, "How do I...?" and this showed up. These quick simple basics really help. :)

I cant do it on a leaf.png. it leaves some color green like opacity of the leaf behind. how do i fix this ?
same problem
solved changing the color of the brush to white, sorry this answer arrives 3 years later D: JAJA
@@mauricioduran8 OMG TYYYYY THIS SAVED ME!
My after effects don't show mask to layer option
i cant find where is mask to layer.jsx
Why is it that when I mask an illustration the color automatically turns it white even when I hit Add. How do I keep the original color?
This is very helpful
Hey Trevor, I am having the same problem. It says it isn't a compatible file.
Great tutorial!

I don't have extract effect, I just have Keying (1.2) so it doesn't work :(
