      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!

    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.

      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!
