    I've worked with AE for decades, right from the beginning. This is a great tutorial for beginners. One suggestion, Peter. When referring to left or right sides of any App's workspace, realize that we are looking at it from the opposite angle so you would serve your students very well if you gestured left when referring to the right or vice versa. All the best. Keep it up.

    Best 24 minutes of my life. I am seriously the type of person to easily "freak out" or get anxious especially when learning new skills. I truly appreciate you describing both the "WHY" and the "HOW" of Adobe After Effects in fun, light-hearted and descriptive way. I hope to see more tutorials from you. I subscribed to your channel... I'LL BE BACH! Happy New Year, Peter!

      Or like Latin. You're eager to learn the vocabulary 'cause it's a new important main subject and everything but then more and more grammar and tables and stuff come in that you have to learn by heart in order to be able to understand everything so you lose motivation over time.
      (I'm only saying this cause I wanted to lol, I'm actually still trying to understand After Effects so I can do cool stuff with videos. The part about Latin is true though...)

That seems scary but look at some tutorial that looks fun, learn it have fun, then do another and another and another you'll have fun and learn what part of after effects you'll have fun and want to learn the most of.

    This was one of the first videos I've found of you where the majority of the comments are people complaining, b*tching and moaning about how much you talk. I think people who are into video graphics are very impatient users. What they don't know is that your style of presenting complex information made simple for beginners while having a great personality is one of the main reasons why you're a successful TH-camr. You made your tutorials feel personal and intimate. Like a friend trying to explain something to you. It's motivating. Thank you for making great content.

    Hi Peter! I'm on the beginning of my road with videomaking, and I just discovered your youtube profile. I have to say, that for long time I have been trying to find some kind of inspiration, some kind of spark or impuls to really drawn deeply into videomaking. Usually looking for some kind of information whas very hard for me because I used to feel stress and frustration, because most of guys doing tutorials where like "full of knowledge-cold robots", talking hours abouts numbers, settings, parameters, that I started to feel like videomaking is totally not for me, because my lack of knowlage and difficulties with learning it. I always had only vision and ideas and I didn't know how to put them on paper. But finally I found someone some passionate about films and so "normal", that I feel after watching couple of your films, that I found someone that really emphasizes the priorities of videomaking which for me are vision, good taste and be passionate whatever you shoot - concert, wedding or piece of paper laying on the street. I feel like I made gigant progression in very short period of time after watching your work. Thank you so much because you really inspired me the way I always wanted to be inspired. You encouraged me to push forward every day, to do small things and small steps every day, do not be frustrated if I don't reach the summit every time I try or do something, but to stay focused, learn with humble, do things right now and accept the fact, that even if I don't like it 100% and it's not great, I do as best as I can at this moment, because the most important is to GET JOB DONE, NOT PERFECT. I know I'm late, but I'll be honored if you would like to take a look at my B roll challange - th-cam.com/video/9y86ZhnCeiE/w-d-xo.html . Had very little time to make it, but I mobilized myself and I thought - "I will do whatever I can do right now, without excuse of "waiting for a better moment". I hope to get feedback, Thanks a lot again and keep going, your work really affects positively on others! Adrian

    So weird to think about that a lot of people think After Effects is scary, been using it since i started making video's. And I think that for a lot of "older" filmmakers this was the way to go software to start using when creating video's.
