This series is like someone showing me delicious new recipes using the food I already have in my fridge

[@TheDannycoyne]

There is no reason not to watch this series of effect explainers. Excellent breakdown, as always.

[@ludoviajante]

I'm loving these.

[@cordel_ringani]

Just when I thought I had mastered After Effects, Jake shows up and makes me feel like I've only scratched the surface.
I'm so loving these tutorials. Keep up the good work bro! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Awakenbeing]

Love this AE effect library videos. watching this I got many ideas to use for animations.

[@princetondem]

This Ball Action tutorial is phenomenal! I was looking far and wide for a way to create fake scatterplots (dots on an x-y grid) to illustrate bad use of correlation, ones that could animate from one to the next. I was looking at Particle effects and going down a rabbit hole. Then I thought I'd need to use brute force with 50 little circles on different layers. This tutorial on the Ball Action effect saved my behind! I applied it to a shape (using a mask to draw the area I wanted the dots to appear), animated the mask when I needed to, changed the Scatter amount as needed, and voila! Thanks Jake!

[@felixsmittick9128]

So many possibilities. Thank you.

YOU. ARE. AWESOME.

[@chaardewar]

The DNA trick is awesome

[@rjbalaji4243]

Nice one.. Will be more effective with example..

[@elissitdesign]

I use this effect mainly for exporting a texture for C4D to create LED video walls 👌🏼

[@vooshmoozik6185]

brilliant

[@ashusaifi4381]

Great sir

[@centralfelipeses3785]

Great!

[@dmytro_korolkov]

Nice tutorial. Does anyone know how get rectangles instead of balls?

[@wise_fool]

thanks
a lot

[@OFGAnimationStudio]

interesting result :)

[@nanes9914]

Is there a way to make it scatter more or less depending on the brightness of a black to white gradient?

[@andrerocha3954]

Awesome video as always, got me wondering. Can i use CC Ball Action for some pixel sorting effect? Any thoughts? I would love a tutorial for pixel sorting. Thank you for showing the ins and outs on After Effects.

[@evolnull125]

Just realised looking into someone's else project file that CC Ball Action can be used to create a grid of dots.

[@aliakll4090]

Wow

[@ahmadsy4421]

Thanks from syria.

[@banc0s]

bro i just wanted to make an LED text board - someone help lol

[@chaosbreaker8737]

AE needs real 3d space 😑 even hitfilm and fusion have it

[@JakeInMotion]

It actually does, and even true 3d geometry! It's just....not that fun to work with.

[@timeijs12]

​@@JakeInMotion ​ Indeed it does! I personally love combining 2D layers with 3D effects and cameras. I did this a lot with a project I did for my grad project recently! ruclips.net/video/jNBamI0n0Xg/видео.html
(CC Ball Action at 1:22 😁)
But yea it does have some weird quirks you have to work around :/
(Sorry if you're getting this twice, something seemed to go wrong)

[@jd-ec2vs]

@@timeijs12 how to do the work around. I am trying to add 2 instances on 3d aware effects on 2 separate layers in one comp. when I rotate the 3D breaks. I am scratching my head over this. any help is much appreciated. and by the way your film is beautiful.
