    I want to take a moment to thank you. I started learning After Effects in 2017 by watching tutorials and back then every tutorial on youtube made me feel like I have so much to learn. Since then I've been learning the software and making a living out of it. As this video came to my feed, I got excited to learn something new, but to my surprise I found that I already knew everything mentioned in this video. And that made me realize how far I have come with this tool and it's all thanks to channels like yours that helped me each step of the way. I really appreciate all the help you're handing out for free to people trying to learn.

    Cool vid. I'd say you need to know 100 more things than just this. - in fact, it would be nice to get a video from all the experts, showing those 100 things in a quick edit like this, even if the video is a hour long. Having experienced the DEPTH of the Blender community, Adobe AE community really really needs to up it's game.

    Hey, @sonduckfilm, how did you center everything? For instance, when I expand my title horizontally ("Animation 2"), the first letter of the title stays put why everything else expands right-ward.

    I'm a newb to this stuff... but I usually use the transform tool to animate my text. In the video you mentioned we "shouldn't" be using the transform properties but rather the animate properties instead. why so? what does one have over the other when it comes to animating text?

    • @SonduckFilm
      @SonduckFilm  Před rokem +4

      Great question! With the basic transform properties, you can only animate the entire title at once. With the text animate properties, you can animate each letter of the title. Also, you can add way more properties and have access to more settings.

    I did EXACTLY the same as your instructions for the 'Rotary' text, however, not sure why but when I used the 'number of echoes' mine didn't multiply like yours.... why would mine not multiply, is there a setting you have on as default that I may not be aware of. (Beginner) TYIA

    • @SonduckFilm
      @SonduckFilm  Před 9 měsíci

      I would assume that there is not animation on your text. Echo only works when there is movement to the layer you applied it too.

    I think I might be doing something wrong. I added the duplicate and placed it above the text and changed the text setting to 1. layer but the text isn't showing "above the text" . I'm still a newb with After Effects so I'm definitely doing something wrong I'm just not sure what.

    @XDarkmage1 Před 9 měsíci +26

    Sorry but as an educator and content creator maybe you could speak a little slower for better understanding of what you're saying. After Effects have one million options, settings, technical words, and even slowing down the video it's hard to understand every word you say.

    • @SUUPERRR
      @SUUPERRR Před 7 měsíci +12

      He did great for me.
      If you're struggling to comprehend even after repeating or slowing down, you're most probably lacking fundamentals. In that case, this isn't the video for that. If you have the basic memory of how the basic functionalities work, you won't struggle understanding what he says.
      Normally, I would ignore a comment like this but if other beginners are watching, sometimes "too fast" means you're lacking the "ABCs" to speak the language articulately, even at a beginner level.

      Talking too fast was the same thought I had too and went right into the comments to see if anyone else felt the same way, yours was the first one that showed up. Great and very informative video yes, but if animators are keen on the importance of pacing and timing in a visual sense, as educators they should apply the same principles to their verbal presentations.
