      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?

    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.

  • @H3Vtux
    @H3Vtux 2 ปีที่แล้ว +65

    "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.

    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).
