Steve, in case nobody’s ever told you, you are fucking amazing! I thought I was halfway decent an after effects, but after watching you, I don’t even exist. I’m going to start watching all your videos. Thank you so much for making me look so bad. Lol.
Thank you! Great explanations. Good pace. Question: You did a quick keystroke to bring up search window to find & add levels effect (for shadow). Would love to know that keystroke. Would use that a lot. Thanks!
Great lesson. The one problem I'm experiencing is that I can't adjust individual points of the circle, place wise. When I adjust them the whole circle adjusts from te center... And I did convert to bezier path so I don't think that's it...
@@apoorvapatwardhan ooh yeah i did, basicly you have to choose the right line in your menu. Where you’d select your rectangle path for example, if you go down the dropdown menu of the path… dont select the path with the clock next to it but the line directly above it. It would be easier to explain with a picture but I hope you understand it
If I had to buy one SOM Class just to learn this kind of stuff, which one would you guys recommend? I've been looking at the classes and I'm afraid to buy the wrong one. This video is exactly what I'm looking for, maybe a little bit more in depht. But basically with the lighting, shadows and the example that Steve showed us "Covid".
Hello there! awesome video It really made me feel happy when I was able to follow your instructions! I just had a little Issue with the shadow, I was not able to color the Eclipse below the ball with levels effect, I would appreciate any help! thank you :)
hey, make sure you have a few things. A background with some color to it, an adjustment layer above that layer, then adding the levels effect on the adjustment layer. I make a mask the shape of the shadow I'd like, than in the levels effect I adjust the "output black" setting. Hope that helps!
Thanks for this. In the beginning, when you first create the shape and the anchor point snaps to the middle, what did you do there? I know you can hold cmd and double-click the pan behind tool to accomplish this but what did you do?
Hello there, if you go to the left upper menu select "After effects >> Preferences >> General"" there is an option that if you check it, will make your new shapes with the anchor point centered without any click :) hope it helps you.
Bro, im not very good in AE, im trying to do soft body animation for a UI and export using lottie plugin to render as svg animation on the web, but its been a pain to animate bezier paths correctelly for a beguinner and the plugin that exports for me dont support effects , just svg stuff, so i thought (is there a way i create the animation i want using an effect like u did here ,and once is finished i convert it to frame by frame path animation and drop the effect?)
Hi thank you so much. i really want to learn how to animate, but i have a problem and maybe someone can help me. In the minute 4:33 where you adjust Bezier Handles you have some numerbs on the right and left , but i don't have them. does someone know how to put them ?
How to beat the pixelated edges of the shape that appear after applying the Echo effect? We can't use this techniques if the shape doesn't move in a straight line. Thank you.

@@CHRISSX-x2k One route is cel animation. Roughly draw your frames and go into AE and do your clean up. I personally would use C4D in order to create that look properly. Making one pedal and using joints to get a really nice bend/control. Check out C4D basecamp through school of motion, well worth your time learning for sure. Sadly, AE isn't the right tool to create that look.

This was a really good lesson. Thank you, Steve.

you are far too kind, nobody ever looks bad as long as they arent sitting still. keep up the great work
Really great tip on starting with a square. Really adds up quality on the squash and stretch animation.
This was really well explained! Loved the comparison between workflows and pros and cons
TearsForSmears 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant.
Excellent instruction and SO many great tips here! Thanks for sharing 🤟
By far the easiest to understand and practical. Thank you!
That was really impressive. Love the video.
Much appreciated!
best video ever about squash and strech...thank you..this technique? .I'll carry it for life
This was great. I never expected this. Love It...
Brilliant! I never thought of it this way and now cannot think of doing it in any other way.
Thannk you for you class
THIS STUFF IS LITERAL GOLD!
Best lesson that I ever learned
That is so clever way to make squash and stretch! Thanks.
This is packed full of great tips. Thanks!

Useful as always!
Really well explained! Thanks!!
Very informative and inspiring video.
I learnt alot from this tutorial
Such a cool technique! My desk has cracks in it. It could also feel the weight of the shape!
Thank you for this tutorial
Hey Steve, how long do you think this would take you if you weren't explaining it?
Thank you! Great explanations. Good pace. Question: You did a quick keystroke to bring up search window to find & add levels effect (for shadow). Would love to know that keystroke. Would use that a lot. Thanks!
head over to video copilot, the have a free script call FX console
im at the level of brush my face against the keyboard fighting the program right now , very cool tips ,thanks :D

Hi Evelyn, did you find a solution to this? I am encountering the same problem

@12:22 I would also suggest adding a "repeater" function under the path and just offset the positions of your clones.
Gold standard
How did you set up your color bar to identify layers?
Really cool!
so so good, thanks!
Hello! The project files in the link appears to be for another lesson.
LOVE IT
GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH
For some reason at 7:58 when he's changing the shape mine still changes the scale.. How did he do that?
Great video 👍

@@jojolugi8201 of course, hope it helps
thanksss
This is fucking amazing
An easier way to get better results faster? That's it, I'm never touching the scale property again. :P
I don't have 'path' option after generating the square.
Thanks for this. In the beginning, when you first create the shape and the anchor point snaps to the middle, what did you do there? I know you can hold cmd and double-click the pan behind tool to accomplish this but what did you do?
AE actually randomly centered it for me. It RARELY happens, so I was just as surprised. Usually on a PC I hit - ctrl+alt+home

Can you make a tutorial on your intro?!

How to beat the pixelated edges of the shape that appear after applying the Echo effect?
We can't use this techniques if the shape doesn't move in a straight line. Thank you.
If your shape doesn't move in a straight line echo is a wonderful option OR animating trim paths start/end on a stroke will work wonderfully.
When he does the smear, how does he add the effect with the Y position lane being within that? I don't understand what he did there.
happy to answer this, could you be a bit more specific though, I’m not sure I understand the question.
link to project file is broken
Please,make a tutorial about how to blooming flower or Lotus flower please?
what part of it would you like to see?
@@stevensavalle I would like to know if you can make the effect of this video in the after effects.
The effect is the flower opening without plugins and 3D software,only After Effects

How many gates you going through?
How do you view both graphs at the same time?
with the graph editor up you will see icons in the bottom middle of it. The second icon, to the right of the eye ball is "choose graph type and options." When you click on that select the "Show Reference Graph" option
@@Steve_Savalle thankyou!
Bezier is missing on the list 3:04
Thank you ! for this, was trying to figure out where I went wrong.
@@dothetuna8595 Bezier is inactive on mine. Idk why
Can I get this script for mac
youre already speaking in terms im not familiar with as I am new to Ae.
the names LOL
i fight with programs all the time... thats why i am not having fun at all in animation.
Why do you sound like david dobrik? haha
WHY DOES HE TALK SO QUIETLY!!!
