Even though I've been using After Effects professionally for 12 years I still got some dope ideas from this video about using combinations of effects that I hadn't thought of. Cool! ...and thanks!
As an AE noob I reeeeeeally appreciate you putting the time into give us a run down of what it can do. Gives me multiple places to explore, experiment and - as you say - have fun! Cheers 👍
I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a sweet comment! Man, the support and positive vibes are always welcome 😁! Looking forward to what you end up making, feel free to tag me so i can check it out
LEVELS vs. CURVES! Levels gives you the mathematical numbers of your color adjustments. If you look at the "info" when you move your mouse cursor over any part of the preview window, it gives the mathematical number of each color/pixel. When compositing this is the ONLY way to match colors and luminance levels with 100% accuracy. You can also use those settings to reproduce exactly in any other program. Curves is more about the artists interpretation and feeling. Its AWESOME, but it's like the visual version of mixing sound without looking at the waveforms and scopes. It's based on feeling rather that accuracy. Also, if you've ever tried to adjust color settings over time with keyframes on curves, you'll know how jacked up that gets real quick... Levels is math based, so it adjusts with keyframes without any popping or skipping in light or color values like curves does. Just a few helpful distinctions between the two!
Halfway through this video and even though I'm familiar with most of these effects, it's a great refresher to get my mind in the right creative space. Really well put together video and dope effects! Thanks man! I'll check out your other videos!
This is the best AE learning video I have ever seen. I've been using AE for years and have been too scared to click on half of these effects. Thanks so much for your quick and simple explanation of each.
Great list... After Effects is a monster program with so many bells and whistles, so narrowing down a list is not easy, but you did a good job. Great channel BTW, you have a new sub.
I've just moved from basic video editing to VFX, this is the second video i have watched on my first steps to VFX! This has not only highlighted FX i should be aware of but also gave me insight as to what is possible on Ae. Thank you man! I am subbed and look forward to seeing what you can teach me.
Ive been a 3d designer for the past 6 years and just now im starting to dive deep into de AF world, this list is useful AF (as fuck, not after effects) thanks man
I am a 3D Guy myself. Trust me, making the Postproduktion of your 3D Scenes in AE is a real gamechanger. Have a look into a buy Plugin called: Frischluft. Its an easy to use depth o field tool witch safes you ages of rendertime (z depth pass).
Whenever I use curves I think of Andrew Kramer. Originally, he said, “I knew a guy who didn’t like curves, he liked levels, and now he’s dead!” That was hilarious.
Steve Thompson Levels = Color Correction Curves = Color Grading Levels are needed for more technical adjustments like correcting and curves for bigger stylistic adjustments.
The best energy of any tutorial ever! U make it fun to learn. These programs are more than aggrivating so we have to watch lots o these, but with ur smile and happiness to teach inspires me to learn more and not give up (again). Only if all RUclipsrs took a cue from you, we would all be much less stressed. THANK YOU! and thanks again, Richie
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you know that your comment made my day! Looking forward to sharing more dope effects and tuts with you!
Just started my after effects journey and found your vids. Thanks. I tried video copilot, but all the vids are out of date and i couldnt follow along so now i am here. Hopefully to stay, thanks
Glad these vids help Joshua! I started on Video Copilot but definitely found those vids to be out of date by now. Happy to make relevant tutorials for ya 👌🏾
@Black Mixture maybe i missed it, but do you have any videos on what build of pc you are using? I am a disabled vet on a fixed budget. And have been using my MSI GF-75 laptop for all my work. It has an i7, and the GTX 1050. But it seems so slow, when using blender or after effects. I have watched a ton of videos on pc builds but i am just curious what you started with and where ypu are at now. Once again, thank you for your great videos.
@@Silentnight1979 Here's a video I made on my spec recommendations and settings: ruclips.net/video/fHe7HbKRisc/видео.html It was made almost 2 years ago so I definitely have to update it. When you see the updated video come out, know your comment was what it inspired it bro!
Hey sir I am in AE industy but sir i am really glad that I got your youtube chhanel and Thats well better for me and my future thank you sir WE LOVE YOU ❤
This video probably saved me dozens of hours of aimless rabbit hole exploring. The highlighted 25 (29?) effects are really good mental anchor points, which make it much easier for newbies like myself to start building our AE knowledge. Thanks Nate and Chriselle!
Dude thank you so much for the drop shadow I was literally just about to do an edit with lots of text that needs drop shadow and I was about to duplicate every text layer 😂
After Effects beginner and was just looking for some ideas for centrepiece to my website. This video was incredible man! Thank you so much! So much work must have been put in to make the list! 🙏🏼

Give this guy a medal.
Ed Plattel no give him a seal of approval
Hey brotha, I've been using AE for a good many years and just thought I'd tune in and even I found a couple gems I wasn't aware of. Great stuff!
Great to hear Eric! I'm glad this video could be of help to an AE veteran like yourself.

Cant wait to try some of these! 😄 great video!
Awesome Arelgi! Thanks for letting me know and hope you have fun 😁👌🏾
If you kept it going till now you have all the respect that I can give
tip for audio spectrum: add an MIN/MAX effect after it and the streaks are getting a block shape
Krypto - Oh duh thanks!
Bam! Man you smashed it out of the park. Thanks so much for a great paced overview of some really cool stuff.
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you know that your comment made my day! Looking forward to sharing more dope effects and tuts with you!

LMFAO. Dude i was thinking the same thing. We get it Lol Great video nonetheless
I needed to read this comment
and still getting on the list...
Nice vocal tone and phonetic articulation which makes it easy to listen too even when I'm not watching the screen.
Awww thank you so much! That means a lot because I struggled with public speaking for some time 😅
The backgroundinstrumental in the beginning is from Eric Reprid's song Niche if people wanted to know
Nice dude👍
