That was the single most informative and useful After Effects video I've ever watched! So many things to improve my workflow stuffed in such short time! THANK YOU!!!
I thought so too, especially in combo with bend it, but for some reason it is not working in my projects, although I exactly recreated what Ben showed. Any suggestions?
If you wanna do 5:36 for other aspect ratios or resolutions, just replace the *0.56 part with /(width/height). For example, 1920x1080 would be /(1920/1080).
Hi, You sir is a goldmine, I've been motion designing for 3 years now, but, up until last year, I wasn't trying to improve my work. I gotta admit, I have been learning now for a few months and in the process, I've found your channel, Well I found it a while ago but, didn't know you did motion tutorials because that fiver video got me here then, and I thought you were one of those clickbait guys. Anyway, For some effects I've found your videos then I clicked on your name and what did I find? A goldmine of things nobody wants to share, Here is thing, people share knowledge on youtube but, skilled people don't have time to do that so we don't get advanced effects or tutorials that much just basic ones. But, One thing is for certain you are a genuine helper, you shared something that a great motion designer or design studio wants to keep secret. Simple things that without great minds ordinary people like me wouldn't be able to do. So for that, I thank you. Another way I can tell you are a genuine helper is that you refer to good resources like the School of motion or anything that has great value even though you have your own course. Thank you again and keep sharing the knowledge and keep your skills sharp as always.
thanks Ben for sharing all this tips to the community. This teach a lot: learning something new and don’t keep anything from yourself...ALWAYS SHARE AND GROW TOGETHER!
"Grow bounds" does not work for some effects especially plugins. Another solution to achieve the same result is to add repetile above the effect in question, and then set the tiling mode to NONE, then increse the edges as needed.
These are some of the more helpful videos on TH-cam. Creating generalist videos is a great way to just get a quick snippet of the capabilities of the program. Been working in AE for 8 years and still learned a lot. Thanks Ben and happy new year!
Ben, after a year, this is still a gem that every motion designer must know. You did a great job here and for many of us out there trying to master After Effects like you, Jake, Eran Stern etc. God bless, buddy.
Thank you for the CC Power Pin tip! I've never mapped a computer screen on an existing clip, but it was easy (just had to add keyframes as the perspective changed).
Great video. I use a lot of these already (especially Roughen Edges but the little tip of adding to instances was very helpful!) but definitely picked up a few new ideas. Thanks!
Your channel is a gold mine, Ben. I wish I knew about grow bounds much sooner
Imagine commenting on James Lee.
You are beautiful.
The grow bounds effect is a lifesaver. Thanks a lot, Ben!
That was the single most informative and useful After Effects video I've ever watched! So many things to improve my workflow stuffed in such short time!
THANK YOU!!!
This video is really really good - great work!
whoa Animagician! I love your Dream SMP Videos!!!
GROW BOUNDS??? Where has this been my whole life. Thanks for growing my knowledge Ben!
Oooh i didn't know about grow bounds, that's so helpful - thank you!
For when you need “mask expansion” but you’re not working on a mask
Me neither… this probably could’ve saved like 3 hours all total in my 10+ years of using After Effects. Thanks Ben!
Ya this is huge for me. So sick of comping shape layers with alpha
Je
I thought so too, especially in combo with bend it, but for some reason it is not working in my projects, although I exactly recreated what Ben showed. Any suggestions?
this was ridiculously useful
Really appreciate the effort you put into teaching others. You don't have to, but you do. That sharing doesn't go unnoticed.
If you wanna do 5:36 for other aspect ratios or resolutions, just replace the *0.56 part with /(width/height). For example, 1920x1080 would be /(1920/1080).
and for all super simple movements in animation: puppet tool
Especially for puppets :)
Holy thing
Thanks ben. One of the most informative video on TH-cam
Thanks so much! That's high praise indeed :)

Ok, now I'v seen more and now have a few ideas to incorporate into my videos, can these effects be used say on separate web cam footage?
