I literally just learned something that will simplify my current project. And it randomly just started playing. Being able to extract the controllers just made my day a lot easier. Thanks for this video.
@@TheKeyframeAcademy please make more videos about start animation like the process of drawing - in illustrator or direct on AE? And the next very first steps :)
Thank you so much for show the parent restraint I am to start working on a series of videos for a client and I used to hide the parented layer and replace it with an unparented layer.
The only downside of this is the lag, which really slows down your previews even on a fast computer. It's still worth it just for the organization, but it's a thing to consider.
Great video! A lot of these tips are why I Stan this plug-in. I wonder if using Hold keyframes on the Weight would alleviate the issue at 5:39, it certainly helps similar issue with the connector. Bonus tip: A step can be reduced at 7:47 by holding CTRL with the Child layer selected, it will auto-parent the new controller.
@@TheKeyframeAcademy Hi, Duduf here ;) I've just stumbled upon the video, which is great! There may be two reasons for the issue: - either it's because of the performance optimizations the constraint has to do; in this case, the workaround is to raise the "motion blur precision" value in the effect; that forces Duik to compute subframe interpolation - or it's because at the time the weight is turned to 100%, the current frame is ignored. In this case, moving the weight keyframes a frame earlier should fix the issue Let me know if any of these worked!
That's such a good video, as always! 😁 2:59 Never explored that parent constraint feature and although it seams it can be really useful, I feel like I won't use it because of that 5:52 "bug". I knew about the power of connectors, but seeing the real world applications you showed it just opens my mind for new possibilities. Thank you so much for the knowledge John! 👍
@@TheKeyframeAcademy would it work to use DUIK to do the grunt work with the parenting constraint, then you could potentially switch to baked KF (maybe using something like 'easy bake)' - enabling a fix for wonky glitchy frames? It's not ideal, but could still be a quicker way to get the results needed than just doing it all by hand?
5:57 One thing that might fix this (not tested) is to double or quadruple ur frame rate, place a frame where the glitch was after correcting the assets position and then revert back to the lower frame rate. This Key frame will not be visible but should still exist and might fix the problem.
really great tips! LOL your many interjections remind me of an SNL sketch or something. "if you are still TOTALLY LOST and have no idea WTF IS HAPPENING, you'll hopefully understand by the end!"
great job man! is it possible to do a tutorial with the palm fingers opening? also I was wondering if there's the possibility of doing 3d rotation with duik
Man I always get pulled back and forth on character tools. I've been using Deekay Tools for a while now and then I watch another one of you videos and start thinking "Dam should I switch back to Duik?"
I mean, I think DUIK gets a bad rap because it's got a steepest learning curve. I personally use it for character rigging about 50% of the time, but I gotta have it installed because of all these other tools it comes with.
@@TheKeyframeAcademy yeah I think I'm going to give it another look just for the other tools. I mean Hell I even paid/donated for it last year so I should at least TRY to use it
Great stuff and tutorial sir! Unfortunately I didnt't manage to get the bicep to grow when dragging the IK Hand Controller as shown at 12:28. For me it seems you didn't explain how to parent the hand IK controller to the rotation of the forarm. I mean you explained how to drive the bicep's bending via the rotation of the forarm but it the end you used the IK Hand Controller (which of course is a lovely result!) I would be more than happy to get help here! Maybe I just missunderstood something here. Thank you!
The rotation of the forearm is driven by the IK controller. So you don't parent the Controller to the rotation of the forearm. You don't parent the IK controller to anything. You link keyframes of the bicep line that draws on to the rotation of the forearm, which will rotate as you drag the controller around (if you rigged the arm correctly)
Fully packed tutorial! Is there a reason why I had to use 200% weight to have my object (in my case a coffe mug) fully attached to the hand? At 100% it wasn't enough for it.
Thank you for sharing this with us :) I have a question, the extraction options are available with Rubberhose? When I do it I have an error @keyframeAcademy
I didn't want to bother you, but I have a question. In the duik bassel I made the rig and the walk cicle, everything perfect, but after finishing the walkcicle, the animation continues and I would like to animate the arms because they grab an object and I'm not able to. If you can help me I would be so grateful.
you could do this sure, but then if you need to make any adjustments to the animation you've got to make those adjustments to both layers so that they always meet where you split the layers. You're just creating more work for yourself.
Hello thanks for video. I have one question, how I can stop walk cycle? Bcs. when I make key frame with e.g. walk speed 3,5 and in next key frame put down walk speed to 0 Km my character makes steps on the spot.
aww so sad, i cant jump without structures. I either select from below to the top, or the way you said. tip to arm, and the control appears inversed, the limb moves strange and i CANT Seem to make it work as intended. the anchors are ok
Structure layers slow down AE so much that I still think that it's probably easier to UNrig everything, make changes, and re rig everything up. Just my opinion though. 😀
Thanks! I didn't know those tips. Q: Is there a solution when changing the color in Adobe Illustrator of a limb (arm) of a character rigged with Duik using Pins? It happens when the limb is rigged in Duik looking like a rubber hose limb (with Pins).... In the shoulders there are weird glitch
@@TheKeyframeAcademy I have a character in Adobe Illustrator that was rigged with Duik using Puppet Pins to make it look like the limps of a cartoon. But, then the client wanted to change the color and size of the sleeve, and after making those changes in the same layer in Adobe Illustrator..... in After Effects the limps of the character have weird artifacts just where I use the Puppet Pins (specially in the shoulders). Is there a way to fix it?
5:52 I haven't tested it and its only a theory but.. it might be because of a shape layer. For me shape layers tend to act funky when used in a character rigs or in other DUIK magic. So suggestion would be to pre-compose it first (for a learner audience Shortcut is a Ctrl + Shift + C).
I got an question: I got two rigged characters but i have to get them in one after effects file. Now do i want to paste one of the characters to an new composition but when i paste one in it gives an error. Is there an way to get both rigged characters in one composition?
@@hadouch18toplay34 Don't paste your character into a new comp, just nest your composition with the character in it in your new comp, and then extract the controllers.

How did you add the reflection effect of the crystal ball?
hello M.R I i hope that you gonna teach us how to animate fingure and thank very much
how do i make a double elbow, or multiple elbows arm?
Like an industrial robotic arm!
Anyone problems with the new Duik Angela? (I even updated my AE) I cant find the older Duik Bassel 2 anymore.

If you can help me I would be so grateful.
What could be the cause of an artwork from illustrator cracking up when rigged with duik. Specifically using the puppet pin and starch techniques.
Just split the ball layer in midle air and just use one parenting for each part.
you could do this sure, but then if you need to make any adjustments to the animation you've got to make those adjustments to both layers so that they always meet where you split the layers. You're just creating more work for yourself.
