Really nice and quick. Thank you so much. Radial wipe can be a pain in the ass sometimes. And thanks for staying quick and simple, no ads and no subscribe to my social bullshit for 10 minutes. I love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Haha, that's our goal. Plus, you get much more control with this method, and it won't have any issues with trying to keep the center of the radial wipe inside the object (especially nested with continuously rasterize). Thanks for your comment!
Really useful. Took my a while to work out how to achieve what I had in my head using this tutorial though lol... but that's on me. Great tutorial thank you!
If you're familiar with after effects (or even premier pro) this is a VERY good tutorial however if its your first time opening up the software this probably is not for you.
@@federicosilvero3341 assuming that you understand how to use the program doesn’t mean it isn’t quick and easy. Rather than teach the foundation of every action over and over in each tutorial, we decided to cater to people who don’t need that information. If you need to learn After Effects itself, you shouldn’t be looking at a tutorial to learn how to make pie charts. You should be watching tutorials on the program itself. This is for the person who is working in the industry and needs to know a better way to do this more efficiently so they can save time and money.
First, I pickwhipped the x size of the ellipse. And since that left the expression box open, I typed /2 to divide it by two. That way the stroke width is always half of the size of the circle. I hope that helps. If not, feel free to clarify! (Great name btw)
Thanks! No, not really. I just thought about how a trimmed stroke kind of gives a pie chart effect. So I thickened it up so that it'd be like a fill, and then used offset paths to control the outer diameter more logically.
There's something you're mistaking here. Pickwhip isn't parenting. When you pickwhip, it just writes the code to reference the value in the expression, so you can still add more code to it. So pickwhip the value and type /2 to divide by two.
Hi! I explained at 1:37, but basically you either make the stroke width equal to the diameter of the circle (which is easy but makes the stroke pass the original edges of your circle), or you can go through the process I did where you link stroke width to the size of the circle and divide it by two with an expression, and then link offset paths to the stroke width and divide that by two.
Thank you for the tutorial. Immensely helpful. It was a little fast and I had to rewatch it a few times to catch what you did. Is there any way to change the opacity of the circles? I tried every Opacity setting, but nothing worked. Thanks!
I’m not sure what you mean as circles don’t have a center point. The idea is that you make a stroked circle with no fill. Then you thicken the stroke and bring it back to the center with an offset paths so it looks like a filled circle even though it’s just stroked. Did you add the offset paths?
One more thing sorry, how could i remove the background. I did it, but it shows like a black thing in the pie chat. The thing that changes colour when u change the fill colour.
Great stuff man but I feel like you go through things really quickly and assume that the viewers have a great knowledge of after effects. I really struggled with this lol
Hi, always feel free to ask questions if you have an issue! These tutorials are specifically built assuming an advanced level of knowledge so that we can be quick and straight to the point. I started Workbench because there are a lot of tutorials out there for the beginner to intermediate segment, but there's not much at all out there for advanced AE users. I watch a lot of tutorials where I'm looking for that little nugget of an idea I can build on. But I get tired of tutorials that have more intro than tutorial, or teach me the basics in each tutorial like how to make a new comp. So I decided to aim for the users, like me, who have been using AE for years and want to see something in a new light. Lately though, I have been trying to give things a little more time to breathe and sink in. I do think a lot of these earlier tutorials are quick. I cut out a lot of useful pauses in order to speed them up. So that has changed a lot since this one. But again, I'm always willing to answer questions! Thanks!
Thx for replying :) So I managed to get it done. I have a question though, how can i change the colour of the pie chart? And that is a good point about doing tutorials for advanced people.
You're welcome! And thanks for understanding! Like I said, these are geared towards advanced users, but if I can, I don't mind helping beginners out to figure things out. To answer your question, with the layer selected in the timeline, change the stroke color at the top of the screen (to the right of the tools). Click on the color, not the word stroke, those go to different menus. If you get a two tone chart, you probably have fill on. Turn it off by clicking on Fill and selecting the white box with a red line through it.
FYI You also need to offset paths, and it's best to link them with an expression. I just love that someone comes along and attempts to shorten the only tutorial I've ever made where I started from the beginning while others complain that I cut too much out. 🤣
Thank you for including timecode! You opt/alt click on the stopwatch for Stroke Width to add an expression. Then you drag the pickwhip (the spiral symbol) to the x component of Size (note that a box goes around just the x component). Then AE will fill in text to link the x size in the expression, so at the end you just put "/2" which divides the value by two.
All you do is link the stroke width to be half of the ellipse's width. Then you add an offset paths, setting the amount to be negative half of the stroke width. Then you just use trim paths. You're just making a stroke the size of the radius of the circle, and then moving the center of it so that the edge of the stroke starts from the center.
Worked great! So much better and easier than other peoples' long explanations! THANKS!
Thanks for watching. That's the whole reason I make tutorials-to teach something and save us all time.
Thank you for watching and for the very kind words. I appreciate it!

Thanks! Our intent is to focus on intermediate to advanced users, so you’re spot on. :)
@@Workbenchtv yeah, the "quick and easy" title makes that a bit confusing.

I turned my pie chart into a Pac-Man haha! Thanks for the tutorial!
Can I ask what did you do/click in 1:54?

Great! Thank you very much! Hahaha
You're welcome!
This was a really helpful and smart method. Thanks!
Thanks for checking it out!
Where is the anchor point supposed to be please? I keep trying to move it but it’s not where it should be
I don't know what you mean. It shouldn't matter where the anchor point is for this. I made the original circle with the ellipse tool.
Genius !🥰
Thanks!
AMAZING MAN!
excellent my friend. thank you
You’re welcome!
Very well thought! Why didn't it come to me? Thanks Joe!
I don't know, but I wish it had because maybe I would've learned of it sooner than I did! Haha.
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Put it to good use!
Very nice! I'm just thinking about how you figured it out. It looks like it wasn't easy to come with this solution.
Thanks! No, not really. I just thought about how a trimmed stroke kind of gives a pie chart effect. So I thickened it up so that it'd be like a fill, and then used offset paths to control the outer diameter more logically.
How do you get the contents tab?
If your shape layer doesn't have a contents section, you made an empty shape layer with nothing in it. You need to add a shape to it.
in 1:55 he says "divide by two" how he does that? if it is parented, then we cannot change the stroke with to 200, ... please explain
There's something you're mistaking here. Pickwhip isn't parenting. When you pickwhip, it just writes the code to reference the value in the expression, so you can still add more code to it. So pickwhip the value and type /2 to divide by two.
How did you divide by 2?
2:19 you just put /2 at the end to divide by two.
how do you move the stroke to the center point?
Hi! I explained at 1:37, but basically you either make the stroke width equal to the diameter of the circle (which is easy but makes the stroke pass the original edges of your circle), or you can go through the process I did where you link stroke width to the size of the circle and divide it by two with an expression, and then link offset paths to the stroke width and divide that by two.

You're welcome! You need to change the stroke's opacity. Although the overall layer opacity should work as well.
Oh wow! Somehow I overlooked the stroke opacity. I thought for sure I had tried it without it not working, but it worked! Thank you, again!
@@carmenrobinson1394 You're welcome! I'm glad I could help!
Awesome. Thanks.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
how to get center trim path
Sorry for the delayed response. I explain that at 1:30
Why do my trim paths trim from the top vertex of the circle and not the center point?
I’m not sure what you mean as circles don’t have a center point. The idea is that you make a stroked circle with no fill. Then you thicken the stroke and bring it back to the center with an offset paths so it looks like a filled circle even though it’s just stroked. Did you add the offset paths?
Best tut I've ever seen bout ae
Thanks! I hope this is the first of mine you've seen then, haha.
Very nice tutorial, short and straight to the point. Thats worth my sub, thank you lots!!
One more thing sorry, how could i remove the background. I did it, but it shows like a black thing in the pie chat. The thing that changes colour when u change the fill colour.
That's what I was talking about turning off in my previous comment. You need to turn off the fill.

amazing

Counterclockwise?
Trim Paths from the other direction. :)
What kind of sofeware you have been used it?
Not sure what you mean exactly, but this is After Effects.
@@Workbenchtv
What is application vedeo editing you have used?
@@handangt.v7787 To cut the tutorial? Premiere. However, for other work I generally use Resolve.

FYI You also need to offset paths, and it's best to link them with an expression. I just love that someone comes along and attempts to shorten the only tutorial I've ever made where I started from the beginning while others complain that I cut too much out. 🤣
Your video quality at 1080 p is still not sharp and clear!!!
It's pretty legible to me, and this video is 4 years old. I don't even use the same software to record anymore. So I don't know what to tell you.
why can't you just add a radial wipe to it?
I answered this at 0:25.
how the fuck did you divide by two at 01:55 ????

Then AE will fill in text to link the x size in the expression, so at the end you just put "/2" which divides the value by two.
nice tutorial but you move a little fast.
Thanks. That's intentional. We skip a lot of the in-between stuff so advanced users can get right to it.
Tried to follow every step like a bird but nothing works, too fast.
Thanks anyway.
All you do is link the stroke width to be half of the ellipse's width. Then you add an offset paths, setting the amount to be negative half of the stroke width. Then you just use trim paths.
