This is an absolutely brilliant tutorial, concise, to the point and easy to follow. Thank you!
I ended up creating a much simpler animation as I was briefed to create a flat colour visual style, but I followed your tutorial through to the end because it was so good 🙂

thank you very much! this video was very helpful
i had a problem with pinning the flag to the left edge,
because after i move it back to the middle it's lose it's effect

[@OliverRandorff]

That’s because you have to move it after it’s pre-comped

I just made my own version of your faux bottle rotation. I'm going to try this now. Your tutorials are great for beginners. Great quality and easy to understand.

[@OliverRandorff]

Brian Lopez Really appreciate the feedback - and great that you are following along!

[@monarchofenochdhu]

THis is brilliant and quite a steep learning curve. Can you give me an example of a practical application for this. Having created my flag animation is it possible to use it like a .gif file in an image composition, ie using a landscape background to a web page and displaying the flag on the page so it appears as part of the overall setting?

[@nappon-an8359]

Thanks for this.

Trying to make a soft you hear in your head co to life might be the hardest part starting out but I guess that requires so solid

[@kaelrison7775]

This is an amazing tutorial!
Quick question: When I add wave warp to my flag, it almost looks like the flag gets cut off, almost like it's in a bounding box that's not giving it enough room? Have you experienced that before?

[@longhairmaster]

Hi! Had the same issue! Try to position "Grow Bounds" Effect ABOVE the Wave Warp and extend the pixels - should work :)
