i had NO idea you could loop png sequences through the "interpret footage" window, you've saved my life
I'm in an After Effects college course and this one video has been infinitely more helpful than anything else I've learned so far. Thank you SO much, I greatly look forward to the next installment.
I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS EARLIER TODAY WHOOOOAH
Okay calm down everyone
I am only now discovering that "preserve transparency" box, and that could've saved me soooo much time on past projects. Thank you so much for saving my future project!
Considering I'm about to build a pc that can actually handle video editing this Friday, this is excellent timing
I’m also planning to do the same. What specs do you plan to build? Would just want to see for reference~

Check if the program you are going to use the most needs more memory. Some programs needs a better graphic card (meaning better memory, as Blender 3d. Others requires RAM memory)
Build? From what? There's a global shortage of pc components. Graphics cards prices are through the roof.
@@eisenhalle9328 my perception have been widened over past few years for non 4k box office editing, doesn't require you to have high end gpu or cpu at all.
Here's the sweet spot : ips monitor/tv(yes, been there it's actually decent nowadays), 4 core cpu with turbo boost(doesn't have to be lastest one) , high speed ram
lastly the most important thing is sdd for editing then for saving long term you needed a hdd that's all.
P.s i have a pet project of what can be done with anemic 2 core laptop with moderate effects turns out it's very doable!
i have it posted on other account of mine
You know what After Effects needs?
FOLDERS
Right when I'm about to finish my first short animation, Bless :)
I rarely comment but I have to say that this is the best tutorial by far for using After Effects to add VFX to an animation. Literally no other tutorial goes in depth about the entire process
in tvpaint, you can export "layer structure" (as psd sequence), and have the layer structure on after effects.
about the frame rate. you can define the fps after effects interpretates the sequences. in "edit - preferences"
This is what I'm searching for for years. Ultimate guide for animation compositing. Thank you very much for sharing this for free!
This is probably the best and most informative compositing lesson I've found on CZcams. I have been looking for good guides on creating a 2d animation compose for a long time, but I can't find anything so useful and compressed in the public domain.
Genuinely one of the most helpful tutorials I’ve seen! Thank you so much! That lighting trick with the layer effects is super handy!
Great examples. Love your work. For those that may not know, You can set up your preferred interpretation in the preferences, so you don't have to do it on each import. Also you can double click the ellipse tool and it will fill the frame automatically.
The timing of this could not be any better! Thank you!
AAAA thank you! I remember looking to see if this video existing on your channel 😄
you gave whole information that is years of experience and hard working and knowledge
enough to put it in 2 basic and advanced courses and you gave it all in a video and free! I never forget this because always compositing was a great challenge for me and you are my savior
thank you, thank you!
This is one of the most useful tutorials I have ever seen on editing animation :) I love it.
Perfect timing! This will be handy for a job I'm currently working on.

I was having hard time looking for actual animation tutorials for after effects! Thx this helped me a lot
UGGH! This makes me so excited to start experimenting more! Ive never did compositing before so i'm very excited to try!!!!
Awesome video! Clear and quite comprehensive. Not many people talk much about how to integrate After Effects to 2D hand drawn animation. Very usefull!
That inner shadow tip blew my mind... Thanks a lot!
The timing of this video couldn't be better, because I was just about to research effects that can spice up my animation thesis.
Thank you so much for this handy video!!
Thanks for the inner shadow technique, I'll try that !

Oh wow!! I wanted to do something like this for my class 2d short movie, but I didn’t knew how so I didn’t do it in the end, plus not sure if I would have had the time, but I will definitely use this info for next time
Technology is truly fascinating, and you sir are a freaking life saver. Every questions i had have been answered, and my life is complete. thank you so much!!!!
I adore your works and you giving time to teach us this. My animation teacher never went to depth with After effects. Its more you do a final project and she gets credit for " Helping Producing" when she never guide me on anything..
Suuuuuper cool and useful! Thank you!
until before watching your video, adding effects to 2d drawings seemed too hard, but there it is, you made everthing simple for me. Thank you!!!
dang, I remember when your animations had much rougher lines, these new animations in the background have much cleaner lines, it looks real nice!
Wow! This is a great tutorial! So much usefull advices and tips! Thank you so much!🙏🤝🤝
You sir, have just solved my life! Learnt more in this video than animation school!

It’s as if you e been reading my comments and hearing my thoughts and said, “ENOUGH!” “I’ll show you how I do those awesome 2D animations!” 😂
omg that helps SOOO MUCH thank you!!
This is soooo badass!!! I've been using flipaclip all my time animating....I can't believe there was all this!!!! This also too looks confusing to use...that's why I'm so intimidated to start animation on a PC!!!
See that? Not a single dislike, this is awesome information generously given to us!
Thanks again Toniko!

I,am from peruvian and I'love you channel.
Amazing and important video.
Could be nice and very helpful to a lot of people if you could make a little course that goes in depth to this kind of stuff.
Out here doing God's work
thanks for the tutorial I will steal all the effects and do those in blender compositor hah!
I love your videos
OMG! THANKS SO MUCH!,😃❤️!
awesome overview of After Effects. great animation style too! Consider me subscribed
Do you have any suggested tutorials as well? I noticed it's hard to find specific after-effects ones that cater solely to adding to a finished 2d animation piece.
i aspire to have the same level of skill some day!! 🙏
At 13:00 minutes, you could just duplicate the animation/image etc. and add the fill effect to it to save some time.
Compositing in After Effects is where it's at!
this thing needs to be a separate course in details with examples i will buy that
Hi! I loved your video, it gave me real insight for workflow ♥️✨. For compositing animation, do you have any tips when it comes to charging?, I am lost and I don't know where to start :'D
Regardless, thank you for all the information you share 🙏
Hi I'm not sure if you'll still answer my question but in toon boom harmony, when I export as an OpenGL sequence I can't seem to separate the layers. Is there a way to export layers separately or do I need to duplicate and erase from my project
Any other Affter Effects alternative for compositing? I really need it ;(
Any alternatives to after effect for editing animstions and adding shadows and lights
