Great tutorial. I love using those extreme in out ease curves for trim paths and 'expansion' motions, but my only wish is that he would show us a larger variety of curves. i need new curves dammit.

[@waseyrahimy6886]

There was a course where Michael talks about transitions, any idea where that went? Been looking for two days straight!

[@Iamkabera]

Can't believe this is free

Really cool tutorial, I learned a lot of tricks. However, I wish he had shown how he created the example he shows at the beginning, because the color palette of what he creates here is quite different and I loved the color palette of the example. I feel like it's kinda weird to show us an example at the beginning and then to make something different? I don't really like the colors of the end results here

[@agfirs_o2579]

I study and practice 8 hours daily but, watching your videos made me think "Why did I not know this?"

Design concept is unique, but there was a missed opportunity to introduce viewers to the align panel in AE. Centering by hand isn't very industry-friendly, for those wanting to animate professionally.

[@aestheticaryan763]

When Kratos is an animator 😆

[@ron_wayne]

Guys still waiting for Mograph mentor stuff??? Still waiting!!!!

[@foreropa]

What annoys me of this videos is that they assume everyone works with an apple computer.

[@the_ericklima]

Can’t believe I paid money for this course last year only for it to be released for everyone now. Michael Jones is a sell out.
