Teacher Jordy and his aweful coffee breath are back! ☕ Did you pass the test? If not, you'd better start learning After Effects ► www.cinecom.net/courses/adobe-after-effects-beginners 💪
Hi!!
hello
Hiii
remember to save the project consistently every 5 minutes should be considered as ultra pro, sometimes ur too excited with the projects u forgot to save it then it crash :)
somehow reading your comment made my brain short-circuit so that I impulsively pressed Ctrl+S on a youtube video.
i set my autosave at 1min
@@memesneverdie9913 lmao!!!
@@memesneverdie9913 Mine was the same for a while, bought some parts to make my pc run faster. Now set to every 5mins lol
I don't know why Adobe doesn't do something about this. It's stupid and annoying. Resolve has something called live save or something idk wat it's called but it doesn't have this sort of stupid problem.
0:30 Press "U" on your keyboard to show all active keyframes on a selected layer
0:48 Ctrl + Click on the time display to change it from seconds to frames
1:10 Ctrl + Shift + E to delete all the effects from a layer
1:26 When masking, enable the RotoBezier function to make every corner rounded.
1:44 Use the mask feather tool to have a more controlled mask.
3:54 To squish keyframes proportionally in the timeline, select all the keyframes and hold Alt + Click and drag the last keyframe
4:17 One track matte for all layers (with newer versions of After Effects)
4:57 To find the children to a parented layer, select the main parent layer, right click and Select Children
5:16 Scale composition precisely with Region of Interest
5:45 To extrude 3D text in After Effects, first change the 3D renderer (Cinema 4D). 2 new property groups will appear.
6:51 Auto-trace option, for automated masking.
7:33 Free 3D Normalization Script for AE
7:52 Restore motion blur to your green key with the Refine Hard Matte effect
8:16 To see changes from a pre-comp in the main comp, lock root composition window and open View>New Viewer
8:59 Hold down Shift and use the pick whip tool to link a layer to another layer with the same properties (position, scale, rotation...)
Hey @CinecomCrew, your videos are full of useful tips, and I watch a lot of them. Sometimes I forget the specific steps for one of your tips and I find myself browsing through your videos to find it. It would be very helpful if you would add timecodes with short descriptions or titles in the description, so that people can easily find the tip that they need. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work guys and thank you!
Thank you! We always need people like you in the comments. 👍👍.
Life changing
Thank you life saver
I can't believe if just drag the SHIFT button to parent a layer would have saved 152626 hours of job so far. Forever learning!
Glad we could help 😉
"Stop doubting yourself and start testing" is an underestimated phrase.
This was so good you've come along way with acting and creativity around making the videos. Been learning from you forever.
The storytelling, funny edits and all the things that have been done are getting better and better, it's crazy.
4:44 that coffee mug is fire
Love love love these "are you actually good?" episodes! A great way to constantly give yourself a pop-quiz as an artist!
Wow, I am better than I expected. My score is ZERO. But uniike many others, I know how to actually start AE!
No, seriously - I am a true AE beginner, I know only few things that I really needed - content-aware fill, camera tracking, motion tracking, rotobrush 2.0 and that's pretty much it. Very grateful for these videos and especially the AE Basic channel!
Thank you for good tips. You are amazing guys, wish you all the best.
we can always add up properties in essential graphics to see and use it anywhere outside of the comps, plus it gives us ability to make instances of the composition while maintaining the original composition.
Love this!!! Region of interest crop is a game changer ❤️
Glad we could help 😉
thanks guys, that were great tips! 👊
really great tips I only knew about 60 percent of these. The auto trace, dual window and refine matte tools are game changers!
Thanks for the good tips!
I didn't know half of "noob" tips, but did know 80% of the others.
Guess it makes me an advanced or professional noob:)
I like the way u teach .. information is very precious and ur video style of teaching 😂is so awesome
I need the second test, great video.
I LOVE YOU! is the word thanks for making my life easier with that composition tip if only I knew it was that easy, the tears of sadness and joy simultaneously, Thanks Mate
not only that, the parenting that allows you to copy all the properties to the child that was yumm!
Were well made video guys! You rock!
i love your videos, its something that musted be on tv at morning for kids before school. :)
This is one of the best after effects videos I've ever watched
I love this funny and interesting video. thank you so much for your videos guys
i felt like a noob at some parts in the beginning and then at the middle i knew stuff there, and as we got to pro i knew two of the items mentioned....but still learned a bunch THANKS
Thanks for those great tips
I knew some of them on each of the different levels But my best tip is the last one so glad I know this now
Wow these are really good tips
Amazing I knew them all except some of the noob ones. Never used the mask feather feature but this will be a game changer! :) Thanks!
Didn't got them all, but now I do know them! Thanks :D
It's really a good test. Glad to know I'm a pro because I have doubted myself as an after effect user with about 14 + years of usage experience
the track matte update was the best thing to happen to after effects in a long time. I hated using them before and now its painless.
Gonna check it
I learnt a lot from your videos ❤️❤️❤️
3:00 I love how he spammed a bunch of songs, but that’s awesome XD they were good pics
Still learning the ropes haha happy Friday!
I love you men! Haha learned a lot from your videos
u can also use environment layers for c4d for different environments and u can change that w material setting or whatever its called
I've been using alt to place elements on the 3D solids location.
Minflow chart is a pro tip too
going back and forward in compositions is preety convinient
I learned 2 things
thank you so much!
i learned so many things from your video
Just gotta say
1. this video is so incredibly dope and helpful
2. as if i wasn’t already the target audience for the sponsor (the nature of music content gets stuff claimed FAST) homie threw in THIS IS WHY BY PARAMORE as the subtle meta example. you won 💥💳💥💥💳💥
the mask feather tool damnnn
ah man, I NEEDED the 3d Track Normalizer script last week when I spent a couple hours normalizing 12 shots for a music video. lol
amazing as always, also i can sit and watch your comic series for hours (if you make)
the coffee mug
ahhahaha !
glad i found your chanel
Love your videos, I'm going to say I made it to pro for 99% of the test haha.
Funnily enough, I didn't know most of the noob tips, but knew most of the pro and okey ones! wow. I guess I should have spent more time in the noob learning process!
Thank you for the reality check
That last tip made me spit my coffee all over my monitor. Jordy, I will be invoicing you for a new one. Thanks!
😂
I didn't know this is what I was looking for to learn after effects. Hilarious!🤣
okay i failed at the last 2 question but hey thank you so much for telling
it sucks to go through comps because the effect is in a precomp
Id like to see the same video with premiere pro :)
Very good video!
I didn't know all of these but maaaan the PRO section could have been so much more meta / deeper :D
I am Pro Man, Now i can ask for 70% hike to my HR, Manager! Thank you Jordy..
I got like 50%, cool tips!
We love you so much, pray for us pray for Turkiye,😢There was an earthquake that affected 15 million people. we need support
All will be well in Jesus' name🙏🏽✨
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
turkey was one of the racist countries ever, and now u guys want our prayers ?? SMFH
@@lazom8214 Unfortunately, you don't know anything. ONLY you don't pray for the 43,000 people who died here. I hope that when the day comes, there will be no tears for you.
@@lazom8214 The current situation is a problem of humanity, a supra-political situation, subject to those who understand
@@speedyblaze26 ty brother
Blown away that you managed to license a Sigur Ros track! Sweet!
Such beautiful music and it totally fitted the Faroe Islands video 😍
My God, best video ever.
Skillshare is gonna shut down for good now.
again tqsm
That feather mask took blew my mind.. I guess I am a noob!!!
3/5 in noob
full from okay
2.5 out of 5 cos i don't know the shift and parent but i use the expressions to do that and that is easy to just a few more clicks
Except a tip in the noob section "adding points in mask father" knew all of them lol
I got 50 to 60% of this quiz, pretty helpful though, Thanks.
No way he did the “ain’t nobody got time for that” 😭😂😂
Passed beginner level 🥰❤️
I love this channel lol
i learn few things thanks
Nice teaching
Am a Beginner
I knew things from all the levels. but no all. the path of after effects never ends.
Im a noob. I’ve been using premiere pro for 9 years and one day I wanted a moon in my clip. People are dancing at night and I want to add a big moon so now here I am watching multiple videos. This one’s good
Wow… in just 11 days since i watched this for the first time I actually learned so much. I’m still a noob but now I can actually understand a bunch of what he’s saying. I can’t do it but I can understand now😂
I’ve been on after effects everyday some days for 4-5 hours at a time!
In 11 days I learned motion tracking, some ripple effect I used for the moons reflection off the river, I learned masking and I learned how to transform masking with key frames while simultaneously motion tracking. I learned where the button for blending is and I learned how to use Ultra Key… I think it’s called when using a green screen to overly birds in my footage.
Im moving pretty fast in my study and one thing I noticed is that a bunch of videos that I first watched are starting to make more sense!
I'm using AE for more than a year, but I didn't know even the noob level! What a shame 😥
I think I'm quite good at premiere pro but I'm starting after effects now and It's so different. Luckily I have some experience in PP
I’m at noob level, didn’t even know any of the special tips, but that’s ok, I have a lot to learn 💙
And I don’t use after effects as much XD
hey jordy how to save 3d modle of Avaturn ther is no option of save or download how to save it plese tell me
Very nice
I wouldn't call it cheating, it's working smarter not harder! I have sometimes saved hours just using 'True comp duplicator' makes making revisions so much easier and non destructive.
After Effects is a whole universe, I will never consider myself as a pro till have 10% of Andrew Kramer's skills. So basically noob for a life :)
Good tips in the video.
didn`t passed but learned a lot of thingssssss
Actually I struggled with first few ones than the last ones :DDDD
tutorial for lockwood and co ghost effect
100% pro!!! yeah!
4:25 please explain how to make that track matt expansion like that .. i love it ..
Use an ink splatter overlay
Been using AE for 10 years now. I think the only stuff I don't touch is scripts for my profession but on personal projects it can be quite helpful. I wouldn't say knowing all of this makes you a pro - I would say it makes you proficient in AE.
why? because its not needed or because they dont like it if you use scripts? sorry for dumb question , but i dont wanna apply for a job and find out i cant use scripts xD
@@xxxxxShirosakixxxxx It depends on the job. I work for an agency so every Motion Artist needs to have the same equipment, plugins and software for obvious reasons. If you freelance, it's not an issue or depending where you work.
@@FriendlyUncle oh that makes sense, thanks!
Thanks you yeahhhhhhhhhh
I need my certificate, i didn’t skip this video class 😂
Looking for a jacket in your size 🤣👏
On my way to pro, not quite there (yet).
advanced level
I got it, 100%😎
Man, I'm on okey level 😂
I failed at the beginning of the noob level.... But aced in the pro level. Go figure!
I didn't knew all these tips before but now I do. Does it makes me a PRO?
That's cheating!
Not even 2 mins in and this guy is giving laughs with FREE GAME 😂❤
What if i'm like... mixed? i knew some from all three parts, but not all (even obvious ones😀).
How did I know all of the Okey and Pro, but none only one of the beginner?
Best I know all this
love the grandpa suit
Me who don't even have a pc watching after effects tutorials hopping someday I might....
Damn these tips 😋😋
Half win win situation for me
