Been suffocating on how to add gradient to texts but you have saved my life.You have explained& brought it out more clearly than no one else.Thanks for the video.
I watched four videos before this one trying to figure out how to get editable gradient text. Some of these videos had hundreds of thousands of views. they didn't help much at all. This one is definitely a five star video!!!! This video was EASY to understand and was short and it WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!!!! Thank you! SUBSCRIBED and will be scouring your videos for more clear, concise and to the point tutorials. I feel lucky I found your video.
Honestly, for YEARS I have been trying to do this and using some complicated methods. This just saved me a lot of time and frustration. So, so easy! Thank you!
this helped me so much thank you. I'm very proficient in Lightroom and Photoshop but I only tinker when I have to in Illustrator. I love the simple straightforward this mini-lesson was. I didn't have to dig through a long tutorial to see if it had what I needed!
Thank you for putting all the main steps within the first two minutes. A lot of illustrator tutorials are 10 minutes long when all you're looking for are the three or so clicks it takes to do something. The tip for getting rid of the halo is also much appreciated because I thought it was a rendering bug.
Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial! I've been trying to create a coloured gradient fill for the past two hours and you've just taught me in 5 minutes. Thank you, thank you!
I actually thought I was some kind of Illustrator expert after working with it daily since version 1.1. But I didn't know this trick. Thank you very much!
Since I first started using Illustrator in the late 90s, I can't get over how buggy and unintuitive this program has continued to be while Photoshop works so much better. Thanks for the help!
He looks like he has a really great channel! We’re all in this together, and I teach more of the fundamentals of how to use the programs rather than special effects style tutorials
Thank you so much for answering, although as I know you live in US, but have you ever watched Eurovision song contest and are you fan of it? By the way, what kind of music do you like to listen? I guess it is heavy metal?
Haven’t watched Eurovision and def not into heavy metal haha. I like a lot of melancholy music that have big crescendo finishes. Also a healthy mix of Radiohead and Coldplay lol
One of the most succint, no nonsense tutorials on You Tube. Subcribed, liked, and will no doubt make my way through all your videos to brush up on old techniques and learn new skills on Illustrator.
Thank you so much for this Pixel and Bracket, it certainly saves the messy gradient to each letter that you get otherwise. Even when you outline the font, you still can't do a continuous gradient. There's just one thing to note - after applying the gradient fill to the text, you are unable to outline the font. However, if you outline the font first and keep the fill 'no fill' then apply the gradient you get the same effect.
Omg. I actually wasted a lot of time figuring this glitch out. Old illustrator worked better but I guess we just have to learn how to adapt. Added this to my favorites
Fast forward to 2021 and Adobe is yet to fix this glitch. What an amazing software that is apparently the market standard globally! Kudos to Adobe for making such amazing products.
Thanks Spencer! I thought it would be so much easier and I was wracking my brain to why it wasn't working. Love how short you keep your videos. Will def be using you as a resource in the future! :)
THIS IS A LIFESAVER THANK YOU thank you thank you. Thanks for even showing the difference, so important so we don't do the one that has a pixelated 'halo'! So helpful.
Saved my life. It's just a shame that this method will change in a couple of months. I was just lucky that this video applies to my Illustrator. I really, really hate updates.
thank you so much for this quick tutorial! i was starting to get SO stressed about this because i needed to be able to do this for a work project, and i felt like i was gonna lose my mind troubleshooting this on my own
Loved your video! Awesome work. It was the first and only video that I searched and watched based on a very detailed Google query. So easy to do. Especially like how you are also in the bottom corner unlike a lot of videos where you just hear a voice. Makes the learning experience so much more personable. Need more videos like yours. Thanks and much appreciated!
Thank you! I definitely want my vids to be more personal so you know who’s teaching you. I do them a little different now so that I don’t cover up any of the program, but still try to make it personal
Thank you so much for this! I don't know if they fixed it or not for the "Intel" version, but I have this glitch on my M1 illustrator. 😅 this helped so much!

0:55 "you might have given up at this point..."
you're right! that's why I'm here and your video is a lifesaver, thanks!
was about to say the same thing lmao
May the universe reward you with good things in your life! I was going crazy with this stupid fraking glitch! Thank you!
the glitch still hasn't been fixed and I've updated to CC2021 ugh
Thanks for this tips 🥰❤️👍
@@xmonsim Adobe 😖 !

I'm enraged by how easy this was. Thank you for saving me from having a complete breakdown.
Im laughing so hard at this comment - i know because ive been there.
lmfaooo exactly my thoughts!
😂😂. Me too
I just had a breakdown. googled it. found this video. now am embarrassed at how easy it was when explained like this.
@@madyyestoparee It's not your fault. Executing this function feels so archaic I'm surprised Adobe doesn't also make buggy-whips.

These are the comments I live for! You’re the best, appreciate it 👊
pay him
Agreed. Reminds me of the old 1-5 star rating system of RUclips!
I've used Illustrator forever & this literally changed my life, thank you
This made things so much more clear, I used to convert my text to paths first before adding gradients. Thanks for the tutorial.
Honestly, for YEARS I have been trying to do this and using some complicated methods. This just saved me a lot of time and frustration. So, so easy! Thank you!
Thank you illustrator needs to be a bit more straight forward.
100%
LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO gibrish straight to the point, these are simple steps. Thank you for sharing such gold knowledge
this helped me so much thank you. I'm very proficient in Lightroom and Photoshop but I only tinker when I have to in Illustrator. I love the simple straightforward this mini-lesson was. I didn't have to dig through a long tutorial to see if it had what I needed!
You are a lifesaver! I see gradient text everywhere but I was not getting it.. Finally a solution. May God bless you!

i love that my teachers couldt get this right for three days in explanation to us and in the 3 min I watched this I got it...TYVM!
Your RUclips was the most clear on Gradient instruction! Thank you!!!!
DUDE.....thank you. I'm so glad I found this. So glad I don't have to outline anymore, or even do an opacity mask. You're a lovely human, lol. 🙌
Loved your tutorial very clear, basic, showed all versions/options very impressed - thank you ;)
I actually thought I was some kind of Illustrator expert after working with it daily since version 1.1. But I didn't know this trick. Thank you very much!
I have to admit - illustrator feels like a pure mess sometimes.
It desperately needs a search option like in Blender
It's too damm frustating
Exactly I feel the same as beginner
😂😂

How does he only have 8000 subs???? He deserves more
He’s trying he’s trying haha. I appreciate it!
Are you really better PS/AI user than Nemanja Sekulic? How do you feel? What do you think of Nemanja?

Thank you so much. The gradient to text has been a pain, special as I had a super tight deadline! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This was so helpful thank you!

A likely solution would be to outline, add a gradient to a separate rectangle, then use the outlined text as a mask 🤔.... maybe 🤷🏻♂️
the squee of excitement i just emitted from my throat as my text turned into a gradient omg. thank you so much
This is legit the best video for gradient text! Make this one go to the top!
Omg. I actually wasted a lot of time figuring this glitch out. Old illustrator worked better but I guess we just have to learn how to adapt. Added this to my favorites
You’re so welcome! Ya super confused why it doesn’t work like any old shape
P&B - THANK YOU GREATLY! You were just what I needed this morning with a good hot cup of coffee!! Cool Breeze!!!!!!
Lifesaver. Could not work this out. Cheers !!

I really wonder why the process straight forward but thanks for this tutorial, saved me time and cleared my confusion!!!

Great, after almost quiting you saved our life, thanks!!!!
Saved 02 Hours of my life. Thank you Very Much.
The best tutorials. precise, to the point content and very clear. Some other RUclipsrs take more than 20 minutes to explain something like this.
Sometimes I do too 😂
Thanks Spencer! I thought it would be so much easier and I was wracking my brain to why it wasn't working. Love how short you keep your videos. Will def be using you as a resource in the future! :)
I NEVER would have figured that out! I was SOOOOO DONE!! Thanks!!!!!
thank you it helps a lot,
I always ended up expanding appearance just to apply the gradients
YOU ARE MY MOST FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW
HI YOU ARE REALLY THE BEST! THANK u
Thank you!!! It's 4 a.m. and I was struggling with gradient on my type))
Thank you so much! Man, I can't believe that a "bug" like this is still in illustrator
Jessus... thank you so much. I have been doing Illustrator for a class and I can't stand this thing. I'm so happy for this video right now!
Thank you!!!!!!!! Illustrator needs to fix this! So frustrating! Thanks again for your video!!!
Thank you, I was having the black outline issue myself and i'm very new to this.
Omg i wish i can like this to the moon! You are such a life saver!!
Thank you! I've been frustrated with gradients all week!
Thanks so much. What I use to do initially is to convert the text to outlines then I apply gradient.
geniuuuus THANK YOU! helped so much I was so fr
Bro thannnkkkk yoouuuu! life saver!! I pray Adobe fixes this issue and makes it easier to do gradients.
Awesome tutorial. It really helped. I almost gave up on Gradient fill and then luckily I found your video....Thanks so much.
THIS IS A LIFESAVER THANK YOU thank you thank you. Thanks for even showing the difference, so important so we don't do the one that has a pixelated 'halo'! So helpful.
Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you! This is the best tutorial I've found on this irritating function.
Saved my life. It's just a shame that this method will change in a couple of months. I was just lucky that this video applies to my Illustrator. I really, really hate updates.
You can also "make compound shape" in pathfinder. Not sure why it's in pathfinder, but it works. (In the drop down -"3 bars" section.)
Wow. The best explanation of this process I have seen. Subscribed. Thanks for having this here. Saved me a customer!
This weird solution saved my life!
Thanks.
Thank you for the tutorial! i had trouble making text gradient and now problem solved!!

Nice. Thank you. Very Helpfulll
thank you so much for this quick tutorial! i was starting to get SO stressed about this because i needed to be able to do this for a work project, and i felt like i was gonna lose my mind troubleshooting this on my own
Amaaaazing! Thank you so much for this. Why does Illustrator complicate things so much!?!?
very straightforward and informative, thanks a bunch!!!

Thank you! I definitely want my vids to be more personal so you know who’s teaching you. I do them a little different now so that I don’t cover up any of the program, but still try to make it personal
Watched others and couldn't still figure it out. Made my text gradient in less than a minute. Thank you.
BRILLLIANT! I've wasted two days trying to fix this glitch by myself
Thank you so much for this! I don't know if they fixed it or not for the "Intel" version, but I have this glitch on my M1 illustrator. 😅 this helped so much!
Another way is to right click your text box, "create outlines", add a gradient. Worked for me.
Definitely, it’s just not editable after that
Pixel & Bracket .... awesome video man, this is the first video I saw of your channel and subscribed, heard about you from Dansky 😁
omg 2:35 was the problem frustrating me THANK YOU
Amazing. Was always doing create outlines first. Thanks!
Pixel Bracket, your awesome was exactly what I needed!
You literally just saved my life! I'm steady sitting here thinking...am I dumb..wtf...Thank you so so much!
YOU SAVED MY SOUL
Thanks for sharing this tutorial... I always need a refresher every, now, and then...
