Lauren: *makes everything on after effects look so simple* Me: *Open after effects* hOw aM i SuPpOsSeD tO dO tHiS👁👄👁 Edit: wow it has likes, i feel happy🙃😂
random tip that actually helped me is that to quickly switch to the graph editor you can simply shift+F3 and if you need to zoom just tap the letter Z and keep zooming on the graph and once ur done tap V to go back to your pointer
for those who have issues with warp (i did too, my error was “after effects couldnt render buffer 3000” something like that), what i do is i add motion tile to my clip (precomped) and i add an adjustment layer overtop it and add warp to that. it should work fine from there.

for alight motion editors switching to ae (much of it are the basics but nvm); - precomposing is basically 'grouping' if that makes sense. like in alight when u group two-three layers together it becomes one single layer but in this case, the quality doesn't degrade and makes the edit smoother. - the graphs are the exactly same here in ae as in alight motion but the difference is the midgraph. the midgraph in ae is similar to the 'pulling both the knobs to the extreme end' graph (I DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN AAHH) - i mean now alight motion also has the 'null' layers but in ae ya'll can overlap keyframes to make the edit smoother by joining the null layer to the original layer. BUT ADJUSTMENT LAYER IS KINDA DIFFERENT, you can put colours, rgb and shit on the adjustment layer but not null cause null is for transform only. - it is better if you download s_blurmocurves as the motion blur setting in that is FABULOUS (i dont have the link to the plugin as my laptop got a restart or some shit and most of my files are gone) (ill update as i get more things along the way, byeee)
@@taevhvn hii omg this is embarrassing but i already replied to ur comment a while ago but it didn't post? idk i can't see it rn but yea I'll just try again HAHAHSHSH 2020 version iguess? drive.google.com/file/d/1V-hecqugPrNAQE8mjsFlnlRtVwS0SBKv/view?usp=drivesdk (didn't work on my windows 10) older ver like 2017 or 2016: drive.google.com/file/d/11eeiiZba1ECV2dYsE4m4_FmTTEYhxcOJ/view?usp=drivesdk
your youtube is literally a life saver!! a lot of after effects tutorials are confusing but yours are so easy and straight forward because you actually speak which helps a lot! tysm
As someone who's trying to start out with after effects, this is so helpful, and your channel as a whole has been a huge help to me! Thank you so much!
another tip for those who's waiting for so long during the render, before you click the "render" button, turn your capslock on to stop the preview then click it. Because preview is what makes ur rendering time so long.
Precomposing is basically just taking all the layers selected and makes a new clip, forgetting about the effects applied, and the length and any of the parts of the layers selected that are cut. So if you were to pre-compose a clip with a glow, the glow would still show, but you wouldnt be able to see it in the effect controls or change it.
i make the base of my edits on video star then airdrop it to myself on my laptop. if you have an iphone and a macbook you can do that! when you open after effects all you have to do is click on “start from footage” and then select the video you airdropped to yourself which should be somewhere in your folders (i usually just put it on my desktop since i have nothing there)
When I directly render from After Effects, a 3 minute video becomes like 60 GB?? It might be Windows, MacOs difference idk but you better be using Adobe Media Encoder. It makes files smaller without losing quality. That video I rendered on AE and was 60 GB was 250 MB on ME.
she has quicktime so it automatically renders in mp4 but if you don’t have that you have to render it in adobe media encoder after you rendered in after effects
@@EbrutheRaven u can download quicktime just search quicktime on google then it'll appear, u can also download the crack/free version on sapphire and other plugins on wxtcher and LemonSquid (just search them)
for the beat tracking idk if this might be useful but i personally simply import the audio on my composition, then i press start and on every beat i press * while listening and that’s it, it simply puts you like a marker every time you press it so that’s useful to see where to cut your scenes
If you select keyframes before using Graph Editor and press F9, it is a quick way to apply easy eaze so you can manipulate the graph sooner. Just a quicker method to apply ee.
The song is what guides me through all my edits. As im looking for a clip, show, or a movie to use, it lets me know which one would fit and It also tells me where to place each clip within the project. As long as i have the song i want to use, i'll know what to do 90% of the time cuz even then we all get frustrated once in a while. **This is only if you know how to edit and that your comfortable doing it**
Ok yh ur editing and everything on after effects is amazing but let's talk about how u edit ur videos u make them so funny always brightens my day ❤❤❤❤
You just saved my life because i always noticed that my graph wasnt like the ones in the videos (i was using speed graph while others value graph) THANK YOU
also for twixtor you can right click press time to time stretch then set the number to 540. then you right click again tap frame blending, set it to pixel motion and add motion blur to your section
also precomposing helps make your transition smoother (kinda) so if you wanna add 2 transitions for a clip you have to add 1 transition and then precompose and add another one.
i don’t think i’ve ever seen a video explaining after effects THIS WELL
FRRR
I KNOW RIGHT!!
i wish i watched this when i first started i was struggling
Omg. Found you bitch.
I wasnt even listening......just looking how beautiful she is❤️❤️❤️

this is literally what i was thinking too! ugh why does video star ‘pre-render’ everything like if you mess up you can’t go back and change it :/

nabil those are the cons of vs😭 i hate that especially after doin a hard transition. this is where making qr codes come in handy

So easy explanation of precomposing, it’s just merging two layers into one, like grouping them together
5:10 “demonic voice“ That’s always what I think 😂

So if you were to pre-compose a clip with a glow, the glow would still show, but you wouldnt be able to see it in the effect controls or change it.
ahhh that makes more sense
