What I like about your tutorials is that you always focus on being holistic in your explanations, and you cover entire subjects instead of just throwing tips and tricks here and there. Well done Jake 👍
I came to AE as a character animator from Maya. The Maya graph editor makes complete sense and to this day I still can't figure out wtf is going on with Adobe's choices in AE. Thank you so much for this video that helps clear some things up!
SERIOUSLY?! I literally said that word out loud in my office while watching this and I haven't even gotten to the good part. I just can't believe you threw in the fact that there's a J and K shortcut for moving between keyframes... After years of AE I feel like a complete n00b. Thanks for, incredibly useful (and full of important, fundamental Easter eggs) tuts!
I use the speed graph a lot, and I think I'm pretty good at it, but that effects set you have to view the "onion skin" of the animation blew my mind. I'm going to use it a lot!
Coming from the 3D world, I always prefer the Value Graph because it is just second nature and makes much more sense to me. However, I believe a speed graph is a great tool to focus on the animation's velocity without thinking about all the other parameters. I'll try to use it more after watching this tutorial. Thank for that Jake. My two wishes would be that the Value Graph in AE would be more powerful, like it is in any 3D software (AE's is washed out version of it), and that all 3D apps would have some kind of Speed Graph; that would make life much easier.
Thank you Jake for making this much easier to understand! I can tell you put a lot of time into making this tutorial! Your presentation is always top-notch man.
I don't know if I'd understand everything that's shown in this video after a second watch but with just one watch my fear of graphs is gone. kudos to your explanation.
Jake I literally came home to try and move forward with my study of animation and after effects that I am pushing to be my carreer....and then I open youtube to try to have some coffee and rest a bit from my day and baaam! This video. You cannot image how much I learn and take from your videos. You are school and you are power! Love ya!
I mean you’ve been one of the best tutorialists on RUclips-not just in the motion design/ae space, but just in general-for a while now, however this might be my favorite video of yours yet. As someone who’s been working with ae for over a decade, and was for a good chunk of that time scared of the graph editor and especially the speed editor, this video is a revelation. you’ve clarified a couple of details here that have been driving me mad forever, and illuminated the “whys” on which to use and when. Just a champion of a channel, thank you so much
Huge thanks man! 7 years of motion design and I’ve never understood the value graph as clear as now. Oh, and you guessed it right: having things bounce around and do complex motions with the speed graph only is a bloody sport, to say the least :D
Where were you when I was in Graphic Design course at my college?? This is amazing! 3 years working with AE and I never liked the graph editor too much because I was just winging it, but now. You are my hero
Literally my 13th Jake B video that I've bookmarked for constant reference. And like the others...will most likely be going back to time and again. Great lesson for, like, everyone!
I feel like somewhat of a fanboy at the moment. Goodness alone knows why I have only just found you, but it's like I need you in my life now! Just finished your Expressions course on SkillShare and now heading off to the Animating with Ease class - thank you so much for such amazing tutorials.
You are a breath of fresh air. I’ve seen lots of tutorials and most of them suck, to say the least. Anybody who needs to understand the graph editor this is about as good a tutorial as I’ve ever seen. Your explanation is clear and concise, there’s no rock music in the background, you’re not making jokes, it is a near perfect tutorial. First time I’ve ever discovered you… I need to see more from you.
A brilliant video explaining the graph editors. Thanks, Jake! 🙌 I would really like to learn about examples of using a combination of eased and linear keyframes for a single animation. Like what could be some tricks where we do not ease each single one of the keyframes used.
funny thing: most of my work colleagues so far never understood why I would do that.. some would try it after I explained why.. others just couldn't get used to it.
I just had a realization and because of this realization, I regret not listening to my calculus teacher about sine waves. In the speed graph, the farther you are to the base linear line, the faster the rate of change over time. The more near the graph is to the linear line, the slower it becomes. Same with the value graph, but instead of the linear line as the base, the keyframes becomes the focal base. The farther the curve line is to the y-position of the keyframes, the less frames it produces and is less packed, more separated. --- the nearer the curve line is to the y-position of the keyframes, the more frames it produces and the more packed it becomes.
Hey Jake, I've been following you for about 5 years and you helped me a lot! I started out as a graphic designer and gradually transitioned (pun intended) to my new position as full-time motion designer. Thank you so much for explaining the trade so calmly and keeping it interesting!
This video was terrific man. I've always been jealous of those super clean text moves people do, but always too forgetful to actually go back and learn the graph. Much appreciated.
I believe the reason we can't adjust the value graph when the x, y properties are combined is because in the viewer we are able to adjust the handles/curve of the motion path. But then separating dimensions swaps those options. Having bezier handles in both workspaces at the same time would probably tear a hole in space time or something.
Your video is amazing! U've turned a daunting tool like graph editor into a crystal clear instrument to create great motion fx. Thank you! U've basically "easy-eased" the whole graph editor. Magic!
Nice tutorial on motion. Unfortunately most motion curve tutorials only focus on super basic scenarios that is just scratching the surface. Where it gets hard, and wish someone like you could shed some light on is a continuous motion. For example 3D layer coming in from out of screen into view, with a slight continuous motion back then speed out into the distance. So we can learn how to control speed in and out of key frames. For me , this is when I separate XYZ. But that becomes hard to juggle and balance. I’d love to know how you do it with the speed graph keeping the positions axis linked.
Excellent explanation. Exactly what I was looking for. I am gonna subscribe and like. Btw for the part that why we can not edit position in value graph and we have to separate them. Its because there are two types of properties for Position,Scale, Rotation and Opacity. Position and scale are biaxial because they have two axis X and Y whereas opacity and Rotation are single axial. To edit the values of biaxial e.g. position and scale, we have to separate them so we could work on them separately in value graph.
Good tutorial. Especially the explanation about how sometimes Value Graph is better and sometimes Speed Graph. I only used Speed Graph until now, but I will look into it more now.
AE has needed to add a third graph for a while now and one that is far more intuitive to creative folks, the current ones just give me reminder shivers from my algebra/Trigonometry/logarithmic days at school
havent started after effects yet, but i love tto watch its videos and it was wonderfully explained. hopefully i will watch it again when i start using after effects
Welcome to the best rabbit hole ever. It won’t be long before you’ll feel like your day isn’t complete until you’ve heard the intro music at least once. Jake has perfected The RUclips Tutorial but I can’t, for the life of me, pinpoint what makes them so great. I suppose it simply comes down to so many things being done so well (e.g. pace, lighting, sound, delivery, etc)
What I like about your tutorials is that you always focus on being holistic in your explanations, and you cover entire subjects instead of just throwing tips and tricks here and there.
Well done Jake 👍

surfshark VPN has improved my motion graphics so much, the difference was immediate and shocking.
Can you explain how surfshark VPN has improved your motion graphics?
I'm sure it's from the ability to allow scripts to access the internet from one of thousands of private servers around the globe.
@@RyanDaily They also feature some interesting and influential motion graphics on their site. but i suspect this is irony at work here in the comment.
@@JakeInMotion …and boom goes the dynamite. 💥

Great tutorial again Jake. You explain complicated AE controls very simply thankyou......
exactly. always use both. edit one while viewing the other underneat it. swap between them depending on what you need to control.
funny thing: most of my work colleagues so far never understood why I would do that.. some would try it after I explained why.. others just couldn't get used to it.
The quality of your videos, the great teaching method and way of explaining things are very very nice, thank you Jake :D
Thank you so much for this! As someone who is self-taught, these tuts always help me improve things that I didn't know needed improving.
Been using the speed graph only till now. But this video definitely changed my mind. Thnx!
Super helpful! Even though I knew many of these concepts, this video helped bring them all together so I understood them better. Thank you!
I took some of your classes in skillshare. I've learned a lot from those classes and I'm always learning new things from your videos.
I just had a realization and because of this realization, I regret not listening to my calculus teacher about sine waves.
In the speed graph, the farther you are to the base linear line, the faster the rate of change over time. The more near the graph is to the linear line, the slower it becomes.

The farther the curve line is to the y-position of the keyframes, the less frames it produces and is less packed, more separated. --- the nearer the curve line is to the y-position of the keyframes, the more frames it produces and the more packed it becomes.
I already use both, mostly the speed graph, but I still learned a few more things about the behavior. And I think you explained in wonderfully! 🎉✨

Ha! You're probably right. I wish editing one would just modify the other, though.
@@JakeInMotion yeah that would be nice.

Good tutorial. Especially the explanation about how sometimes Value Graph is better and sometimes Speed Graph. I only used Speed Graph until now, but I will look into it more now.
Thank you for the tutorial, it helped me a lot to understand the graph editor overall and the diference between the 2 variations!
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.
Great tutorial Jake
AE has needed to add a third graph for a while now and one that is far more intuitive to creative folks, the current ones just give me reminder shivers from my algebra/Trigonometry/logarithmic days at school
Well presented and informative without being overwhelming. Thanks!
thank u, I hand't been able to get it before, exited to practice
Thank you so much for this super helpful video! Now I can sleep peacefully knowing I can edit better!!
havent started after effects yet, but i love tto watch its videos and it was wonderfully explained. hopefully i will watch it again when i start using after effects
Finally! A thumbnail that didn't make me hover my finger over the "unsubscribe" button lol 😃 Great video to back up the clean thumbnail! 👏
Oh come on now, you know you love the liquify effect just as much as the next guy. Don't be embarrassed.
@@JakeInMotion noooo, enough with the Liquify 😂
I checked - everything is clean
Your videos are too helpful and simple
Talk about the learning curve in life's graph editor, haha! Awesome video Jake, thank you so much! Keep it up!
OKKK I CHECK THIS TONIGHTTTT BROOO THX
perfect explanation and easy to understand thanks for sharing
Oh my god, my brain is exploding inside my skull, but I start to understand graph editor. Probably need to watch this 5 more times🤣 Big thanks!
this program works great! exactly as I wanted
This tutorial was well detailed. Earned a sub. I can confirm this is legit.
Thank you so much for this! Well presented and explained. You get two thumbs up from me!
Thank you
great tutorial
great examples to illustrate. Thank youu
now i am in a good mood

yeah all those lines on the graphs so overwhelming. lol this is why complex animations scare me.
i finally made so good soft. thanks ❤
wish they make this graph editor just like 3d tool software (Maya, Blender), thank you for uploading tutorial
This was a pretty graphic video, tbh.
