this was useful material for me

[@josephholt9825]

Great video as always!

Thanks Joseph!

Quick question please. I subscribed as a thank you. What is the short cut to move the layer one frame to the right/left instead of dragging it with mouse. Trying to get better with short cuts. And if i have a lot of properties open in many layers how can i close them all quicker?

[@motionbyscott]

Thanks mate. To move your layers you can use Alt + Page up / Page Down. To close all your properties you can select all your layers and press U

[@armandoosuna9474]

@@motionbyscott Thank you! I live in Las Vegas if you ever need anything.

[@user-sg6wp1zh8w]

You can also use the same shortcut to move selected keyframes@@motionbyscott

6:40 I wanna know how you did those colors?

[@motionbyscott]

All layer styles mate, you can find more videos for this on my channel!

[@OWSXJ]

would this be easier in Houdini, completely built out of nodes, and then textured frame by frame in MSpaint???!

[@motionbyscott]

🤣

[@Satysatonachair]

lol easier? no, probably not

[@sdt235]

[@vaxoxouw]

after effect version?

[@killll]

watching what video next?

[@motionbyscott]

It didn’t come up for you? 😫

[@killll]

@@motionbyscott nope :D

[@yellomotion5346]

but my pc goes slower when i increase the numbers of 3d shapes i have on my after effect

[@motionbyscott]

Yes, it will require more CPU / memory usage!

[@eladbari]

You totally skipped the most important part to elevate our projects - How did you layer styles it all?

[@motionbyscott]

I've got a couple of videos to help with this on my channel already, and linked at the end of the video too. I wanted to focus on the 3D techniques for this video, rather than repeat videos i've already created.
