I’m a college student majoring in motion design and let me tell you, your videos help me a lot and give me hopes to continue this path. So thank you!

[@kcsebastian]

Pls keep doing these tuts. This was gold!

[@JakeInMotion]

Absolutely!

[@nialies]

There's so much value to these tutorials, you just add a lot of info to everything you explain. Wave warp has been kicking my ass for ages and you just gave me a lot more ways to have more control. Thank you!

[@emnersonn]

Dude, why do we get this gift?
You and your channel are the gift. Why do we deserve this quality content for free?

[@JakeInMotion]

[@hobit7585]

I don't think this guy understands how much experimental his work is and without using plug-in, awesome work.

[@mrfootprints.]

Thank you for not only showing us the method of doing the thing but showing us your work and what you've learnt while making them aswell.

[@JakeInMotion]

Good call! I'll keep that in mind for future tutorials.

[@propulsetoi]

Great job! I really like your tutorials! You go straight to the point and you're explaining really well. The only thing is that I would appreciate if you could tell us which keyboard shortcuts you're using during the video. :)

Another easy way to find a point in order to make a seamless loop is to place a ruler on a point in your first frame, scrub through and match that point. Saved me so much time and I could avoid that math which is always a plus (no pun intended =))
