I tried getting the resources on your website, but it said I have to subscribe for a month. After subscribing for the monthly l, would I be able to download the resouces
I've now done 2hours 30 minutes straight. and I just want to tell anyone who is reading the comments just to be sure it is worth their time, IT IS SOOO WORTH IT! this guy has really done a good job. I have learnt so much in just two hours. Don't think twice, click play. He is teaching everything. unlike in most tutorials where they teach like you already know a bit about what u r doing. you won't find a resource like this anywhere.

This is amazing. I literally cried when i found this, i want to learn to edit so bad, but i dont have money to take classes. I had to use whatever tips i could find online and i was still struggling, this is so perfectly organized. So well made, thank you, youve helped me so much in pushing me into my future career. You're amazing for this, I appreciate this so much.
@@elsaastrid1687 I think the best thing would be to build or buy my computer and install 32-40 GB RAM. But I'm on a MacBook so I might have to switch to a PC again. How about you?
I did this entire 11+ hr tutorial and I'm not going to lie, I got more out of this one YT class than I did in 2 semesters of uni. I feel bad for my parents
One month later, what are your thoughts/progressions? I'll be starting this soon and wanted to know how it holds up. I went through his Premiere Pro 4hr (I think 4hrs) tutorial and it was amazing, definitely would have paid for it.
@@kaleomungin I've come a long way since watching this. Seems like months ago I watched this tutorial but I'm still ever thankful that he went through the trouble of deeply explaining everything. Have been doing freelance editing for a variety of different people now! :D
@@kaleomungin Best of luck to you friend and I'm happy you're also taking an interest in editing! Just some forewarning, some of the lesson resources are missing at certain points in the tutorial so it's best to just follow along or make your own example files
Honestly whoever still goes to school for some kind of production or design degree is just wasting time and money, I can learn a 3D tornado in cinema 4D in a fraction of the time (years) it would take to learn that at school lol
Over two years later and this video can still be considered a treasure. Thanks Mr. Cole. I"m 9 hours in and have gained a lot going through your course.
@@Enjoywithme945 actually I have become pretty good with AE. Still have mountains to climb admittedly though; as I have not had the luxury of time to dive deeper into many other aspects of this software.
Jake, my dear brother, this is the best contribution anybody has made in the history of our community. Respect Brother. And anybody here who has attended the entire session...hats off to them 🤘 truely inspired by the enthusiasm to learn something on TH-cam 🙏.
I've watched a lot of AE tutorials and this is by far the best one. The guy takes time and actually shows you what he's doing. Other tutorials, the folks talk and move so fast, you can hardly keep up. I've only gotten through the "Basic" section, but I"ve learned more in that than all the other videos combined. So, THANKS!!!
i watched all 11 hours and i just have the utmost respect for you. spending so much time to create a full course tutorial for after effects (for free!!!!) is amazing and thank you so much!! not to mention that it was beyond helpful :)
In the world where everyone is selling their skills on udemy or other paid platforms, here is Jack who uploaded a whole course and build an index as well for the ease! YOU SIR, EARNED MY RESPECT! I will disable the adblocker on your videos for sure..

Good guide on people starting with after effects. I want to add quite a lot of things though. (you need a 100 hours to actually explain after effects, or more...) Center your layer anchor point with Layer > Transform > Center anchor point in layer (shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + Home) Set your start timecode to completely 0 by just typing a single 0, you can also just type 5:00 and it will be 5 seconds, same applies for the length. Create your own text animations with animators and range selectors. Set the shape (open advanced) to ramp up or down and animate the offset. This will overlap the current animation over multiple characters. You can add multiple properties to this range selector. For example the scale, opacity and position can all animate as they come in range. Use a loop expression to repeat existing keyframes. Alt-click the stopwatch of the property you want to loop and type: loopOut('') or loopIn('') (loop before or after the keyframes) then type one of these beteween the quotes. Cycle (default, start to end then repeat), Pingpong (start to end, end to start), Continue (takes current velocity and adds it over time), Offset (Add values on top of each other, example: 100 > 200 > 190 > (starts the loop) 290 > 280.) I prefer using masks and a stroke effect to create a write on effect. You just use paths as masks and animate from 0% to 100%. It is much easier to edit as there are not so many confusing keyframes. Use Ctrl + Alt + C to copy with property links. This way all properties of the effect are linked to the original and you only have to change 1 to change it all. You could also apply the effect to the composition to apply it to everything Graph Editor: To make more complicated animations, you need the graph editor. You can use the graph editor for any animated object to get a visual representation for the animation over time. You can change the handles on the anchor points to create different a ease in and out. The value graph is the most intuitive and it displays the value over time, you also have the speed graph which displays speed over time. Sometimes you cant use the value graph since a property like a path for example doesn't have a numeric value. When masking it's very useful to set the mask mode to none so you can see everything You can create a mask on a shape layer either by just right clicking the layer > new > mask. Or if you want to use a shape or the pen tool you can toggle creating shapes to creating masks by clicking on the checkerboard mask next to the star shape to the right of the toolbar. Layer properties shortcuts: Hold shift to bring up multiple at a time Anchor point: A Position: P Scale : S Rotation: R Opacity: T Shortcuts to edit length and time of layers/keyframes and move the playhead, these are really useful so you don't have to zoom in to your timeline to accurately move thee things i : Moves the playhead to inpoint of selected layer o : Moves the playhead to outpoint of selected layer Home: Moves the playhead to the start of the composition End: Moves the playhead to the end of the composition Page up: Moves the playhead 1 frame forwards Page down: Moves the playhead 1 frame backwards Shift + Page up: Moves the playhead 10 frames forwards Shift + Page down: Moves the playhead 10 frames backwards J: Moves playhead to the previous keyframe in the selected layer K: Moves playhead to the next keyframe in the selected layer [ : Moves layer inpoint to the playhead (moves entire layer) ] : Moves layer outpoint to the playhead (moves entire layer) Alt + [ : Moves layer inpoint to the playhead (moves inpoint only) Alt + ] : Moves layer outpoint to the playhead (moves outpoint only) Ctrl + [ : Moves selected layer down by 1 in the layer order Ctrl + ] : Moves selected layer up by 1 in the layer order Ctrl + Shift + [ : Moves selected layer to the bottom in the layer order Ctrl + Shift + [ : Moves selected layer to the top in the layer order Alt + Page up: Moves selected layers 1 frame forwards Alt + Page down: Moves selected layers 1 frame backwards Alt + Shift + Page up: Moves selected layers 10 frames forwards Alt + Shift + Page down: Moves selected layers 10 frames backwards Alt + Right arrow: Moves selected keyframes 1 frame forwards Alt + Left arrow: Moves selected keyframes 1 frame backwards Alt + Right arrow: Moves selected keyframes 10 frames forwards Alt + Shift + Left arrow: Moves selected keyframes 10 frames backwards Other shortcuts: U: Shows all keyframes in a composition or a selected layer U twice: Shows all modified properties in a composition or a selected layer ~ (tilde, below escape) : Maximize selected panel to entire after effects window (very useful in complex projects to have a huge timeline. F9: Easy ease keyframes B: Sets start of work area to playhead N: Sets end of work area to playhead Ctrl + Shift + X: Trim comp to work area This makes trimming your comp easy, just use the playhead shortcuts and then press B for the start and N for end. Then just trim the comp If your footage is shaky, the effect "warp stabilizer" does a ridiculously good job at stabilizing it and automatically resizes your footage. I didn't expect this comment to be so long lmao, and i've just kept on adding if i realized i forgot something.
I looked for a good intro to After Effects for a while, I tried many, I'll admit I came to this one reluctantly (who wants a 11 hour class?)... but I knew the minute it started I knew this was the one I wanted. You do a phenomenal job, break things apart in a way that makes lots of sense, you don't digress, don't use technical terms you haven't explained. Honestly, this is extraordinary and it stands miles ahead of everything else I've seen. And you offer it for free! Honestly, Jack, you're a saint and a fucking brilliant guy. And seem fun, serious without taking yourself too seriously. Sorry it's a long comment, but after listening to you for 12 hours, the least I could do was to write a couple sentences to say how much I appreciate what you do and to thank you.
Finished this in about 5 days. Hands down one of the best Courses laid out for free. I doubt I'd have gotten any value equal to this if I had bought a paid one. The enthusiasm of Jack is amazing. 4 years later and people are still starting their journey with his help.
the world should thank you for just uploading such a intensive crash course that you've clearly spent AGES on for free and essentially enabling any beginner to access a whole new skill set and way of manifesting creative ideas. you're mint. thank you
@@towkiie It depends on what do you mean by indipendent experienced. I started using and watching tutorials of Adobe premiere pro and after effects with less then 0 knowledge, after this tutorial of Adobe after effects I can easily say I am able to do the 90% of all I need for my necessities (in my case for my TH-cam baking channel). So, if you ask me to do something more difficult, probably I should study and try more.
@@towkiie oh nono, absolutely not. Even if I started using Adobe premiere pro, something like, 6 months before I used for the first time AE and even if the layout and the concept of the software is similar, I would never have been able.
i wanted to ask when you use warp stabalizer in the smiley video did your video got scaled up becaue when i use it my video scales up to the point where i can only see the sofa and its content
@@sachin_gupta6 i haven't watched it yet, but i think he didnt stabilize it like alot thats why it didnt scale up alot. Just try adjusting the settings. Hope this helps
Hey Jack I am on 2:16:24 and I noticed you move the anchor point frequently, it has been 2 years already and I am assuming that you have already picked this up but just incase, if you highlight a layer and the layers anchor point isnt in the centre then you can press CTRL+ALT+HOME on your keyboard to snap the anchor point to the centre. Loving the video so far
This guy is the best teacher ever, completely taught me how to edit in premiere pro a couple years ago. Seeing this course now for After Effects is a blessing, even without paying anything for the materials I am able to learn as much as I would with them. Kudos to you my friend.
careful, he's a hero... Srsly dude I am beginner and was browsing through different courses online and that is when i found you, I cant thank you enough for this effort man! I sincerely hope you achieve great success and keep loving what you do. Thanks 😄🤘
I really don't understand the ones who disliked this tutorial! I'm sure they have no life and no purpose honestly. This man is giving us a free masterclass totally detailed for FREE! I only can imagine how much time he spent putting this together. This dude is a national treasure. he's among the finest, because he spent 5+ years learning this and he's sharing it with us just like that. DUDE 11:00 HOURS tutorial that's money baby! Jack I wanna say thank you man, you're great and saved me tons of money and time! SALUTE!
in a world full of distractions, once of life's greatest rewards is to sit through this whole video and gain a new skill. I really appreciate your thought and time on this. May the universe bless u 10 fold
no joke I might dedicate a notebook to this, I've always wanted to learn how to do amazing things with after effects and I'm so glad there is a COMPLETE FREE CLASS I can't thank you enough man!
My Dad began with Cosa After Effects and had to get permission from Sweden where it was developed to be imported by a company in Indiana. I know this because I use to watch him do feature film work using Cosa After Effects. Now I work living off doing the same. My point to all this is we both over small doses and 1 month watched this 11 hour master work and yes it is. Very complete. Both my Dad and I say Bravo Good Job !
I’m cool with after effects so I don’t need to watch, but I’m hitting you a sub and a like for this absolute beast of a video man, fair play. I’m sure people who need to learn AE will benefit from this a lot!

that's the point of this generation. We just have too much information and can't get foucesed on what is really important. If this video existed a couple of dacades ago, a lot of people would've watched this a lot of times, more times than now
Hey! I just want to thank you soooo much for helping people like us to learn about after effects!! I'm one of those people who struggle financially so I depend solely on TH-cam for tutorials, but they are often cluttered and unorganized so finding a huge course that is well-structured really helps me into making a progress! I hope you earn lots of money from this 👍 Thank you so much! Wish you a healthy and successful career!
For those of you who might be confused, the nubmer in the last section of "0:00:00:00" is not millisecond but actually frame index. So 0:00:05:20 actually means 5 second and 20 frames, not 20 milliseconds as memtioned in the video.
he ran out of further ado's after the 3 minute mark... because that's where I was before reading the comments lol! wish me luck I'm about to start this!!!!
Glad this showed up in my "recommended" section. Thanks man, but where have you been for the last 5 years?? Kidding, really appreciate you doing this, going to be very handy!
I am a graphic designer. So my job does not involve many video work. I did a course a few yrs ago but never have a chance to use it much at work. It is good to come to your channel for a refreshment course.
Hey Jack thank you for your great effort and making it available for free! Could you please add another timestamp of 0:00 so that we can see video chapters on the TH-cam video itself as per new TH-cam feature and might encourage others to skip to different chapters instead of browsing through the video description :)

Watched 3:21:22 straight. It was really worth it. Edit: The same day I started. I'm 8 hours into it and I've learnt a lot. Day 2 : Can't believe I watched the whole thing, No Cap!
Been meaning to learn After Effects in much more depth and, already, in just 30 minutes, you've given me so many times-saving tips; little tedious jobs I was used to doing and was just putting up with the frustration; you've made some of those things instantly easier. Thank you!
Hi Jack great tutorial there..love it, i cant seem to download the project files especially the one on the custom template at 2:49, can you assist, many thanks
Holy, what an awesome course! Thank you so much for posting this out, it's almost (2023) and it's still very valuable, some of the resources were missing but nothing to serious, providing you replace them with other footage. Overall an amazing experience, covering all the essentials and not digging us through a rabbit hole, but instead giving us what's useful and going straight to how to use it, Tysm Jack! hope your channel regains the traction
I have just finished this amazing tutorial took me about 5 days to fully go through it and apply it (took long cus am a bit lazy ) o highly recommend it to whom ever wants to be in the right tract of adobe after effects superpowers it is thorough, simple and advanced and jack walks you through everything and gives you different techniques thank you very much Mr.jack cole
This guy here is LEGEND! you recorded this video for more than 11 hours just to give us FREE tutorial about After Effect. I salute you bro for your passion & dedication.
I literally watched every single sec of the video till the end. I had basic knowledge of premiere pro so most of the topic was easy to understand for me (already covered) but It was difinitely worth it myan. I always wanted to learn AOE so i searched here n there for the tutorial n dang this video came up to my recommendation. Thanks a lot my myan. I learned a lot of new things myan. Hope to see u with other great contents also. Keep up the good work buddy. Seriously thanks a lot buddy. :)
I appreciate your patience Jack, 11 HOURS video is not a joke. You are such a dedicated and hard worker. You just making the tutorial for Free. Definitely, it will helpful for Beginners and experts as well. I have collected a lot of information from this video. Thank you so much for the AE tutorials.
absolutely astonishing! Thank you so much Jack for your hard work and dedication to this video! So much appreciated. I'm over 40 years old and I just quit my day job a few months ago to to pursue my dream in graphic and video design. This video is perfect!
I watch the whole video of his premiere pro tutorial.. and I began video editing and some people appreciate my edits and offer me some projects.. Now I'm learning again from this guy..
I’m a firm believer not everyone can teach 40secs into this video (train.teach section) and immediately got my attention. Unlike other channels, less talk and straight to the points and meaning behind the training. Thanks! Give this man a thank youu
Where are resources located at jack, i can't find them. Nice tutorial though, I'm just a beginner Videographer and editer and your channel helps me alot. Much love ❤
@@EsaiiTaylor You can actually rent super computers in the cloud on platform like paper space and parsecs to render extreme resource intensive exports.
10 minutes into video and I'm ready to make a comment.... I've been searching for help with After Effects and I've found a lot on TH-cam, however every video I've watched the instructor taught as if everyone knew the simple things. In the first few minutes of your lesson, I learned several things that I have been trying to figure out. For example... How to play the video?... Press the space bar! All the other videos I've watched and not one person mentioned the space bar? One other thing... you have a cursor large enough to see, along with moving slower this is a game changer! Thanks Jack!
Jack's premier pro masterclass video was PACKED. I literally watched it over and over again and Premier pro became simple. I smiled the moment I found this video and I know he would deliver. Jack rocks!!! Welldone bro. The fact that this is free is mindblowing. How can I like this video thrice?

bro i wished, u would´ve kept the sources for free :(
had to stop the course in the middle because of the resources no longer being free :/
I tried getting the resources on your website, but it said I have to subscribe for a month. After subscribing for the monthly l, would I be able to download the resouces
So sad...can't use the course anymore
🤯 WOW an 11 hour course all for free..??? Jack you are a gem 😭 I appreciate this so much!

SVYK. Fr 🔥
That's for sure awesome!
Thank you so much for the hard work you put into this!
really great
All the person commented have liked your comment
I've now done 2hours 30 minutes straight. and I just want to tell anyone who is reading the comments just to be sure it is worth their time, IT IS SOOO WORTH IT! this guy has really done a good job. I have learnt so much in just two hours. Don't think twice, click play. He is teaching everything. unlike in most tutorials where they teach like you already know a bit about what u r doing. you won't find a resource like this anywhere.
But why use after effects and not premier pro whats the difference ?
Is there compositing and 3d camera tracking explained in this
@@resinds.p4898 DUDE PREMIERE PRO IS FOR EDITING........
HOWEVER AFTER EFFECT (as is its name) IS FOR THOSE BEAUTIFUL FINAL TOUCHES AND EFFECTS AFTER WHICH U CAN SAY voila
Did any anyone elses after effects have trouble playing in real-time? It's like every clip is slow motion
@Dieg0 it's a 16 GB ram MacBook pro with quad core i7 processor. Is there anything I can do to make it handle all that?
4 years later and this tutorial holds ups. definitely better then the rest ive watched.
resources are paid?
The same all

Can u share the resources pls
I did this entire 11+ hr tutorial and I'm not going to lie, I got more out of this one YT class than I did in 2 semesters of uni. I feel bad for my parents
One month later, what are your thoughts/progressions? I'll be starting this soon and wanted to know how it holds up. I went through his Premiere Pro 4hr (I think 4hrs) tutorial and it was amazing, definitely would have paid for it.
@@kaleomungin I've come a long way since watching this. Seems like months ago I watched this tutorial but I'm still ever thankful that he went through the trouble of deeply explaining everything. Have been doing freelance editing for a variety of different people now! :D
@@winterfoxcloud that's awesome! Great to know you're doing well! Will be checking this out
@@kaleomungin Best of luck to you friend and I'm happy you're also taking an interest in editing! Just some forewarning, some of the lesson resources are missing at certain points in the tutorial so it's best to just follow along or make your own example files
Honestly whoever still goes to school for some kind of production or design degree is just wasting time and money, I can learn a 3D tornado in cinema 4D in a fraction of the time (years) it would take to learn that at school lol

@therichanddishow ayo sus
this one
Good guide on people starting with after effects. I want to add quite a lot of things though. (you need a 100 hours to actually explain after effects, or more...)
Center your layer anchor point with Layer > Transform > Center anchor point in layer (shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + Home)
Set your start timecode to completely 0 by just typing a single 0, you can also just type 5:00 and it will be 5 seconds, same applies for the length.
Create your own text animations with animators and range selectors. Set the shape (open advanced) to ramp up or down and animate the offset. This will overlap the current animation over multiple characters. You can add multiple properties to this range selector. For example the scale, opacity and position can all animate as they come in range.
Use a loop expression to repeat existing keyframes.
Alt-click the stopwatch of the property you want to loop and type: loopOut('') or loopIn('') (loop before or after the keyframes) then type one of these beteween the quotes. Cycle (default, start to end then repeat), Pingpong (start to end, end to start), Continue (takes current velocity and adds it over time), Offset (Add values on top of each other, example: 100 > 200 > 190 > (starts the loop) 290 > 280.)
I prefer using masks and a stroke effect to create a write on effect. You just use paths as masks and animate from 0% to 100%. It is much easier to edit as there are not so many confusing keyframes.
Use Ctrl + Alt + C to copy with property links. This way all properties of the effect are linked to the original and you only have to change 1 to change it all. You could also apply the effect to the composition to apply it to everything
Graph Editor:
To make more complicated animations, you need the graph editor.
You can use the graph editor for any animated object to get a visual representation for the animation over time. You can change the handles on the anchor points to create different a ease in and out. The value graph is the most intuitive and it displays the value over time, you also have the speed graph which displays speed over time. Sometimes you cant use the value graph since a property like a path for example doesn't have a numeric value.
When masking it's very useful to set the mask mode to none so you can see everything
You can create a mask on a shape layer either by just right clicking the layer > new > mask. Or if you want to use a shape or the pen tool you can toggle creating shapes to creating masks by clicking on the checkerboard mask next to the star shape to the right of the toolbar.
Layer properties shortcuts:
Hold shift to bring up multiple at a time
Anchor point: A
Position: P
Scale : S
Rotation: R
Opacity: T
Shortcuts to edit length and time of layers/keyframes and move the playhead, these are really useful so you don't have to zoom in to your timeline to accurately move thee things
i : Moves the playhead to inpoint of selected layer
o : Moves the playhead to outpoint of selected layer
Home: Moves the playhead to the start of the composition
End: Moves the playhead to the end of the composition
Page up: Moves the playhead 1 frame forwards
Page down: Moves the playhead 1 frame backwards
Shift + Page up: Moves the playhead 10 frames forwards
Shift + Page down: Moves the playhead 10 frames backwards
J: Moves playhead to the previous keyframe in the selected layer
K: Moves playhead to the next keyframe in the selected layer
[ : Moves layer inpoint to the playhead (moves entire layer)
] : Moves layer outpoint to the playhead (moves entire layer)
Alt + [ : Moves layer inpoint to the playhead (moves inpoint only)
Alt + ] : Moves layer outpoint to the playhead (moves outpoint only)
Ctrl + [ : Moves selected layer down by 1 in the layer order
Ctrl + ] : Moves selected layer up by 1 in the layer order
Ctrl + Shift + [ : Moves selected layer to the bottom in the layer order
Ctrl + Shift + [ : Moves selected layer to the top in the layer order
Alt + Page up: Moves selected layers 1 frame forwards
Alt + Page down: Moves selected layers 1 frame backwards
Alt + Shift + Page up: Moves selected layers 10 frames forwards
Alt + Shift + Page down: Moves selected layers 10 frames backwards
Alt + Right arrow: Moves selected keyframes 1 frame forwards
Alt + Left arrow: Moves selected keyframes 1 frame backwards
Alt + Right arrow: Moves selected keyframes 10 frames forwards
Alt + Shift + Left arrow: Moves selected keyframes 10 frames backwards
Other shortcuts:
U: Shows all keyframes in a composition or a selected layer
U twice: Shows all modified properties in a composition or a selected layer
~ (tilde, below escape) : Maximize selected panel to entire after effects window (very useful in complex projects to have a huge timeline.
F9: Easy ease keyframes
B: Sets start of work area to playhead
N: Sets end of work area to playhead
Ctrl + Shift + X: Trim comp to work area
This makes trimming your comp easy, just use the playhead shortcuts and then press B for the start and N for end.
Then just trim the comp
If your footage is shaky, the effect "warp stabilizer" does a ridiculously good job at stabilizing it and automatically resizes your footage.
I didn't expect this comment to be so long lmao, and i've just kept on adding if i realized i forgot something.
Maddias thank you for the extra information!
@@bet_ican no problem
Oh my gosh you typed much, but it pays off
are you making tutorial?
This is big
I looked for a good intro to After Effects for a while, I tried many, I'll admit I came to this one reluctantly (who wants a 11 hour class?)... but I knew the minute it started I knew this was the one I wanted. You do a phenomenal job, break things apart in a way that makes lots of sense, you don't digress, don't use technical terms you haven't explained. Honestly, this is extraordinary and it stands miles ahead of everything else I've seen. And you offer it for free! Honestly, Jack, you're a saint and a fucking brilliant guy. And seem fun, serious without taking yourself too seriously. Sorry it's a long comment, but after listening to you for 12 hours, the least I could do was to write a couple sentences to say how much I appreciate what you do and to thank you.
Finished this in about 5 days. Hands down one of the best Courses laid out for free. I doubt I'd have gotten any value equal to this if I had bought a paid one. The enthusiasm of Jack is amazing.
4 years later and people are still starting their journey with his help.
Legend brother happy to lend my assistance 💪 good luck on your editing journey
nah, the thing I love about this is how you included exercises. makes me really feel like im learning and it's free which makes it phenomenal.
the world should thank you for just uploading such a intensive crash course that you've clearly spent AGES on for free and essentially enabling any beginner to access a whole new skill set and way of manifesting creative ideas. you're mint. thank you
I saw this video 3 times for understand ALL the things you explained. Those was the 33 hours best spent in my life. You are a king
Would consider yourself an independent experienced after effects editor now?
@@towkiie It depends on what do you mean by indipendent experienced. I started using and watching tutorials of Adobe premiere pro and after effects with less then 0 knowledge, after this tutorial of Adobe after effects I can easily say I am able to do the 90% of all I need for my necessities (in my case for my TH-cam baking channel). So, if you ask me to do something more difficult, probably I should study and try more.
@@Flaco_3dit that great, I was asking if you are able to operate around after effects without tutorials.
@@towkiie oh nono, absolutely not. Even if I started using Adobe premiere pro, something like, 6 months before I used for the first time AE and even if the layout and the concept of the software is similar, I would never have been able.
its the only perfect course on the entire youtube
💚💚
This video is amazing. I followed all the steps and I learnt a lot of new things. Thanks for it man, really appreciate it.
i wanted to ask when you use warp stabalizer in the smiley video did your video got scaled up becaue when i use it my video scales up to the point where i can only see the sofa and its content
@@sachin_gupta6 yeah thats how warp stabilizer works. i think you can adjust how much it scales up from its settings.
@@kyleabellano3244 but when he did it in this video it didn't scaled up why
@@sachin_gupta6 i haven't watched it yet, but i think he didnt stabilize it like alot thats why it didnt scale up alot. Just try adjusting the settings. Hope this helps
@@kyleabellano3244 jnnkk
Hey Jack I am on 2:16:24 and I noticed you move the anchor point frequently, it has been 2 years already and I am assuming that you have already picked this up but just incase, if you highlight a layer and the layers anchor point isnt in the centre then you can press CTRL+ALT+HOME on your keyboard to snap the anchor point to the centre.
Loving the video so far
It took me 4 days to watch this complete video. Thanks for the tips and tut😊
wtf... haha nice though big dedication...much respect to him
But wherr are you now , using it ot just learned and forgot ..

thanks
thanks❤❤❤❤❤
if this works u just saved me so much time
Thanks man
This guy is the best teacher ever, completely taught me how to edit in premiere pro a couple years ago. Seeing this course now for After Effects is a blessing, even without paying anything for the materials I am able to learn as much as I would with them. Kudos to you my friend.

Any chance we could get new link for the resources? Can't seem to find them with the current link
Don’t even own AE but i appreciate the effort you took💪🏻❤️
OMG jack you're going to the highest level of heaven mannnn. Thanks for the tutorial. Am Lovin' It.

My Dad began with Cosa After Effects and had to get permission from Sweden where it was developed to be imported by a company in Indiana. I know this because I use to watch him do feature film work using Cosa After Effects. Now I work living off doing the same. My point to all this is we both over small doses and 1 month watched this 11 hour master work and yes it is. Very complete. Both my Dad and I say Bravo Good Job !
This is amazing!
You're amazing!
Yo Im a fan
I’m cool with after effects so I don’t need to watch, but I’m hitting you a sub and a like for this absolute beast of a video man, fair play. I’m sure people who need to learn AE will benefit from this a lot!

Hey! I just want to thank you soooo much for helping people like us to learn about after effects!! I'm one of those people who struggle financially so I depend solely on TH-cam for tutorials, but they are often cluttered and unorganized so finding a huge course that is well-structured really helps me into making a progress! I hope you earn lots of money from this 👍 Thank you so much! Wish you a healthy and successful career!
For those of you who might be confused, the nubmer in the last section of "0:00:00:00" is not millisecond but actually frame index. So 0:00:05:20 actually means 5 second and 20 frames, not 20 milliseconds as memtioned in the video.
Current Jack: "Without further ado"
Jack immediately after: *furthers the ado*
Just kidding, monster video and stoked to dive deeper!
he ran out of further ado's after the 3 minute mark... because that's where I was before reading the comments lol! wish me luck I'm about to start this!!!!
Finally something really useful showed in my recommendations! Can`t wait to spend 11 hours watching this for free!
Haha legend
Believe me guys.......this tutorial is an absolute masterpiece!!
Thanks a lot Cole ♥♥♥
This man is a GOAT!
yes
idiot how
Glad this showed up in my "recommended" section. Thanks man, but where have you been for the last 5 years?? Kidding, really appreciate you doing this, going to be very handy!
I am a graphic designer. So my job does not involve many video work. I did a course a few yrs ago but never have a chance to use it much at work. It is good to come to your channel for a refreshment course.
Hey Jack thank you for your great effort and making it available for free! Could you please add another timestamp of 0:00 so that we can see video chapters on the TH-cam video itself as per new TH-cam feature and might encourage others to skip to different chapters instead of browsing through the video description :)

Greatest Teacher Ever!!! Finished the Course!
Watched 3:21:22 straight.
It was really worth it.
Edit: The same day I started.
I'm 8 hours into it and I've learnt a lot.
Day 2 : Can't believe I watched the whole thing, No Cap!
Been meaning to learn After Effects in much more depth and, already, in just 30 minutes, you've given me so many times-saving tips; little tedious jobs I was used to doing and was just putting up with the frustration; you've made some of those things instantly easier. Thank you!
Proud of You. How's it been one year after watching this video?
one of the best After Effects tutorials I've ever seen. You're a hero man.
this tutorial by you mannn. like I now have the highest level of respect for you.. love from India
Hi Jack great tutorial there..love it, i cant seem to download the project files especially the one on the custom template at 2:49, can you assist, many thanks
this man is saving lives without knowing. keep up the great work bro, one day God will reward you for your actions.
Holy, what an awesome course! Thank you so much for posting this out, it's almost (2023) and it's still very valuable, some of the resources were missing but nothing to serious, providing you replace them with other footage. Overall an amazing experience, covering all the essentials and not digging us through a rabbit hole, but instead giving us what's useful and going straight to how to use it, Tysm Jack! hope your channel regains the traction
One of the least things you can do is not to skip ads. This is a gem
real one
How do I get the resources? The videos used in the lessons
Jach if you add 0:00 as introduction the Video will be seperated in sections abd make it easier to follow through
2:57:00 to use track matte in 2023 you have to right click the header, go columns, modes. then track matte will appear
I have just finished this amazing tutorial
took me about 5 days to fully go through it and apply it (took long cus am a bit lazy )
o highly recommend it to whom ever wants to be in the right tract of adobe after effects superpowers
it is thorough, simple and advanced and jack walks you through everything and gives you different techniques
thank you very much Mr.jack cole
This guy here is LEGEND! you recorded this video for more than 11 hours just to give us FREE tutorial about After Effect. I salute you bro for your passion & dedication.
Haven't started watching it yet, but let me just say up front: THANK YOU. Just what I needed.
this is gold. Thank you so much man!
Homie, I just want to personally thank you. I'm so blown away. I haven't been able to find anything like this on TH-cam. Thank you so much!
Told you I was waiting for this to 😅. I'm in for a hell of a week 🙏🙏🙏.. Big ups man
Jack
I have been waiting for this tutorial.
Thank u so much bro, you've always been a help.
From where I can get these animations & transitions?
This master class was really helpful. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed
I literally watched every single sec of the video till the end. I had basic knowledge of premiere pro so most of the topic was easy to understand for me (already covered) but It was difinitely worth it myan. I always wanted to learn AOE so i searched here n there for the tutorial n dang this video came up to my recommendation. Thanks a lot my myan. I learned a lot of new things myan.
Hope to see u with other great contents also. Keep up the good work buddy.
Seriously thanks a lot buddy. :)
I just finished the course and want to say a big THANK YOU for what you have done.
he made an 11 hour tutorial for free. WHAT A CHAD!!
Super chad
I haven't even watched yet, but just the fact you uploaded an 11 hour long tutorial video I gotta like and subscribe 😂😂🙌🏾
I appreciate your patience Jack, 11 HOURS video is not a joke. You are such a dedicated and hard worker. You just making the tutorial for Free. Definitely, it will helpful for Beginners and experts as well. I have collected a lot of information from this video. Thank you so much for the AE tutorials.
absolutely astonishing! Thank you so much Jack for your hard work and dedication to this video! So much appreciated. I'm over 40 years old and I just quit my day job a few months ago to to pursue my dream in graphic and video design. This video is perfect!
Almost mid 20s, abandoned everything else to concentrate fully on my passion too. All the best to you!
Thanks man I’ve been waiting for this for ages
I watch the whole video of his premiere pro tutorial.. and I began video editing and some people appreciate my edits and offer me some projects.. Now I'm learning again from this guy..
This is "actually" another great course of you Jack 😀
I’m a firm believer not everyone can teach 40secs into this video (train.teach section) and immediately got my attention. Unlike other channels, less talk and straight to the points and meaning behind the training. Thanks! Give this man a thank youu
Finished it in 2 days! This is so comprehensive and extremely helpful to beginners. Awesome work!
That is focus,it took me 1 day to do 2 hours lol
Where are resources located at jack, i can't find them. Nice tutorial though, I'm just a beginner Videographer and editer and your channel helps me alot. Much love ❤
As you can see by the date this tutorial is almost 4 years ago so with time nowadays the tutorial is outdated
His premiere pro tutorial still isn't outdated but his after effects tutorial is outdated now
@@Ectooooonope it’s not i can still use all the info in the vid to my AE , so it’s not
@@We.o pretty weird then as he said where are my ressources located.
Just completed it, sir it was wonderful cause i am a 13 year old kid.. Thank You Sir Jack you really deserve respect. Thank You again
please post any tips you have for me.. Thank you for everythin'
RENDER TIME: PC HAS STOPPED
YEFIUM REMIX lmfao
Seriously though 😂
@@EsaiiTaylor You can actually rent super computers in the cloud on platform like paper space and parsecs to render extreme resource intensive exports.
10 minutes into video and I'm ready to make a comment....
I've been searching for help with After Effects and I've found a lot on TH-cam, however every video I've watched the instructor taught as if everyone knew the simple things. In the first few minutes of your lesson, I learned several things that I have been trying to figure out. For example... How to play the video?... Press the space bar! All the other videos I've watched and not one person mentioned the space bar? One other thing... you have a cursor large enough to see, along with moving slower this is a game changer! Thanks Jack!
Don’t even have adobe but. Love the amount of effort put into this video
This may represent the internet's finest moment--thank you
Jack's premier pro masterclass video was PACKED. I literally watched it over and over again and Premier pro became simple.
I smiled the moment I found this video and I know he would deliver. Jack rocks!!! Welldone bro.
The fact that this is free is mindblowing.
How can I like this video thrice?
