Consistently releasing tutorials that are actually helpful. You are easily my favorite youtuber right now.
This is for sure the number 1 AE tuts right now
Thank you so much! :D I'm so glad you're finding these helpful :)
Same here. They're delivered so well. Keep it up bro!
IKR!!!
Dude, thank you for your channel so much. So many AE tutorials just repeat the same info but because of your videos I'm able to add so many tools to my arsenal!
That's awesome. Thank you so much for watching, I'm really glad you dig them :)
We don't deserve you. Thanks again for all the help!
You're the best. Informative tutorials, a unique sense of style, no pretense, no BS and no attempts at "humor."
Haha, thank you, I really appreciate it. Glad you don't mind those jokes! :)
Hi ben, I was playing with this effect and i ended up making a crazy background...
when you make this gradient background go and create an adjustement layer and add a Hue and saturation effect then check the colorize box.. then the magic happens..
you will have a cool wavy background...
thank you so much for your tutorials and congrats for reaching 100K..
"See a mask drawn like this, they're the real deal." GOLD!!!
Simply the best channel for beginner to intermediate After Effects afficionados! Keep the good work man. The format, the tone, the explanations and all are perfect...
Thank you so much for the support :)
As always, amazing tutorial and great content. Keep it up, man!
those details are amazing! always love your tutorial, Ben!
@5:17 when you double click the mask, I usually just hit "ctrl+t" or "cmd+t" to go into that mask transform mode. Just to be safe I don't accidentally click on the wrong thing if there's a lot of masks/layers in my comp. It's always my quick safe mouse-free way to immediately select an entire mask in order to drag it around, rotate it, scale it, etc.
This is actually a really clever way to do it. I've been using just ai layers for years and years, never bothering to actually do it in ae, until now.
Yeah I find the gradient tool in Illustrator so much harder.
To avoid banding effects in gradients you can also add some noise/grain over it, it will "smooth out" the banding. This can be useful when you need to stay in 8-bit or 16-bit for some effects or limited export settings.
this is an amazing tutorial, it has everything you could possibly want from one, it's quick, goes directly to the point, it has tips for efficiency and the end result is beautiful, you are so generous for sharing your methods and techniques with us, thank you!
You are my favorite youtuber right now. I've been consistently going through each one of your videos. All incredibly unique and super duper helpful for beginners just starting out with AE. Thanks Ben, you've got a long time subscriber on-board.
The pleasure is all mine. Thank you so much for your awesome feedback and amazing support, I'm really glad that I could help in a little way :)
You are easily my favorite motion/graphic designer I love how you get creative and you motivate me in continuing animation
Thank you so much, I'm really flattered! :)
This is perfect timing. Thanks!
interesting tip for you, Ben. If you're doing lots of colorful gradient stuff, when you're changing the project's colour settings, tick the box that says "blend colors using 1.0 gamma". It produces a result as if your colors had been blended linearly and can sometimes look more desirable
Tanks so much! Amazing tip :d
The derp on the face
Love it
Haha, I'm all about that derp now
I've been using AE for 15 years and you taught me 2 new buttons (and a complete skill I should have already known by now) in the first two minutes. BRA-VO, sir!
P.S. Do you have a video that goes over that super smooth ripple effect? I trip over those a lot.
Another banger. Thanks Ben
Following your tutorials gives me daily structure to practice outside of my video job! It's super friendly, relaxing, and informative. Plus your style is AMAZING, so I know I'm in good hands! Thanks so much for the constant flow of tutorials.
That's so nice to hear. Thank you so much for the amazing feedback and support, I really appreciate it :)
@@BenMarriott No problem!Thanks so much for replying! It means a lot. I can't wait to see what else you create! Best wishes.
Nice tutorial, thanks! I usually don't like when tutors try to be funny instead of just teaching but you're actually funny. Keep them coming!
Haha, thank you so much!! :)
I love your content, I've been stagnated in a job in which I don't learn anything new (for two years now) and lately, thanks to you, I'm learning new stuff again!
Thank you so much! That's so amazing to hear :) I've certainly felt like that before. So glad you're finding the videos useful
I just wanted to know how to make a basic gradient, but I learned so much more.
Quick, easy and very clear, im loving your videos!
amazing lesson, amazing series, ty so much BEN
I love this! Thank you for showing me a different method for adding gradients to a shape. The fill gradient in the shape tool makes me want to pull my freaking hair out!
Hahaha, yeah, I've definitely been there! Thank you so much for watching :)
Beautiful as Usual
This is amazing bro, loving all these videos so much already, can't wait to see next 😍

Hahaha, thank you!! :)
Yesssss been waiting for some delicious gradient content! 10/10 Ben Marriott goodness!
Thanks so much dude! I've been obsessed with them lately :D
Ahh, thank you for this awesome tutorial! I like how you made everything clear and straight-forward! For future videos, would it be possible if you went over a full tutorial for everything in the animation like the ripple effect or how you made him float? I'm not familiar with all the tools of AE yet so it is a challenge for me to figure everything out. Thanks again!
such a tight tutorial. you really nailed it and got straight to the point. thanks a lot
Love this video! Thanks Ben!
amazing! I will try to replicate this animation by myself.
thank you for inspiration!
