God damn, this channel is exactly what I need! next week I have an opportunity to work in a studio that makes sports motions and to be honest I'm a little nervous because I've never done that before. I'm going to watch all of your videos and write how it went afterward. Thanks in advance!
Haha, I hope this answered your question from the auto-scale video. If it did, that's impeccable timing! Thanks for checking it out, and glad you found it helpful!
Really amazing tutorial, i just realised how powerful Essential Graphics is One question, is PlayerCutout comp with color block a duplicate? or just placed in different composition, so one with Black and White and level filter inside secondary composition, and color block in main composition. Thanks, really great great great tutorial, 100% will checkout Essential graphics 👍⭐
Awesome, glad you found it helpful! If I understand you correctly, I used the same precomp. The precomps have different effects applied (ie. generate>Fill) to get the colored overlay.
@BallerFX Great and now i understand more, i just finding out that the effects applied on precomp (ie. generate>Fill) only affects inside particular composition, i thought the effects sticks and always active with precomp (like effects & smart object in Photoshop) Thank you so much, now i can fly higher and more confident using After Effect🙏
Hmmm...that's an interesting use case. Assuming you're using the dropdown to drive the text layer of your choosing to pull from the list using the new font expression capabilities?
I'm currently setting up a template that involves 8 different teams with 8 players each. I'm used to the dropdowns and all that (plus your video is super well explained, thank you!), but I was curious if you have a good trick to tie one line from a dropdown to drive what is available on the second dropdown. First dropdown: Team Name (that'll drive colors, and logos). Second dropdown: Team Player (that'll drive player's name and photo). What I'm trying to accomplish is streamlining the second dropdown. Instead of having over 60 names in it with dividers per team, I was hoping to having only displayed the applicable team's players when the first dropdown is used. Does that make sense? I'll keep searching, but I thought I'd ask you just in case it's a quick and easy solution. Thanks again for all the great content you put out! Appreciated!
Hi Nathalia, thanks for the kind words, glad you're finding these tuts helpful! Are you looking to create a MOGRT at the end? Who is the end user that will execute the final asset? There's probably a way to do this with some scripting that's beyond me. Short of that, here are a few thoughts that are dependant on your end goal from questions above. You can set up some logic so that you can create 8 dropdowns for the players/names. The downside if you're using a MOGRT is that all 8 of those dropdowns would need to go into the MOGRT and wouldn't disappear. Only one would be active at a time depending on how you tie it to the main dropdown menu. Could accomplish what you're after, but might not be the best/cleanest UI. If you didn't name the dropdowns, you could just do one dropdown where each player is Player 1, player 2, etc, and that could limit you to 2 dropdowns, but again, not the cleanest UI. You could explore the Dataclay Templater tutorials I have shared because you'll get more flexibility and can create google sheet dropdowns that are similar to the 3rd option I shared in the NFL Draft video (th-cam.com/video/IGKnTroTpTY/w-d-xo.html). Knowing all the players/teams/logos/colors up front is great, and allows you to build a database so to speak that you can pull from. Curious to hear how this turns out!
@@BallerFX Awesome info! Thank you for getting back to me! :) I'm definitely curious to try your spreadsheet technique now! That would be very helpful since I often work with that amount of athletes! Yes, the goal is to make a mogrt I can share with other editors on my team that don't really touch AE. I have it all set up so they can change teams, colors, logos and all that with just a toggle, but the names and photos is where I am a bit stuck. It's built! But I did the media replacement and type in the name route. Not really that much more work for them, and I made the text very responsive, so it did the trick. I'll keep noodling on this though. And if I find the right route/code for it I'll make sure to come here and leave my findings just in case someone else can use it.

Great stuff 🎉
Thanks Rickard, happy to hear you found it valuable!
I'm trying to do this but with fonts. My brain is hurting though when trying to set the formulas
