This trick about zoom in through the camera just blowing my mind! Good tutorial!

[@ausdoug974]

[@wayneuk69]

Great Tutorial!

[@dabidoe]

I'm intimidated by nearly everything in after effects!

[@chopsuey004]

I seriously wonder if anyone knows how to do everything inside out of After Effects

[@fudgepackor]

Me too. I've been learning it for around 6 months. But it feels that it'sll take years until I can actually create something decent. But I'll keep going! 🙌🏻

I loved that tutorial. I sometimes wonder if After Effects needs to be so complicated. But using the null object as the camera control is much clearer now. Thank you.
