15 years in working with After Effects and I didn't realize or remember cmd+shift+n made a new perfect mask. It's the little things. Thanks man, much appreciated!
Thanks for a great video! Just what I needed! :) Some navigation guidelines for the viewers: 2:30 Reveal text with mask 3:39 Reveal logos/images/pre-comps with mask
Well done with the explanation. The amount of times I forget how to do this, then look for a tutorial on it. This gets saved. You are so clear in your demonstration.
You are the first person to explain the difference between animate from animator and from the regular way (hope you got what I tried to say :)) toda rada!
I can't thank you enough for this tutorial! I'm a rookie in After Effects and with so many tutorials available these days it's quite hard to find one that explains concepts in such a simple, but precise manner. Keep up the good work and thanks again!
Literally driving myself CRAZY at work forgetting how to do this as i don't do it everyday. Had the "FUCKING DUH" moment when you explained you need to click animate rather than just messing with the position or animating the mask itself. Tysm mate you deserve more subs/
Very straight forward and very helpful tutorial.... been watching other tutorials on this same thing but they're difficult to follow. This one made it easy to learn and to remember as well. Cheers and thanks! PS. Also made me hungry so I'm heading to Taco Bell for a treat now!
Whatever you say at 4.53 - can't understand and is too fast. 'Click toggle mwa zmt and neep' and keep replaying but can't pick it up. Apart from that, yep good
I followed the tutorial to get a logo to reveal by rising from the bottom. My image is alpha matted to the shape layer 1 above for the effect. For whatever reason, it counts the entire shape layer as a background. There is no way for me to make it transparent. It's only the shape layer. This is a problem
Hi, in this animation, the shape leyer sharpness occurs at the moment the logo is output. If you pay attention, it does not look nice. I hope you understand how we can soften this sharpness in the shape leyer.
finally found what I needed. I find Adobe really nonlogical why you cant have Position tools for both the text or object and the mask. Therefore it would have been so much easier to understand.
veryyy thank you .... was all I needed, because I wanted to take an image that it would enlarge and not go out to a specific area, like doing with text, but with an image it didn't work ...

Thank you Caleb. Your video helped me do some nice effects in my Editing class.
Awesome to hear!
OMG! This is so cool! Super helpful!!
On 4:53 can you tell me what you said? English is not my primary language.
Whatever you say at 4.53 - can't understand and is too fast. 'Click toggle mwa zmt and neep' and keep replaying but can't pick it up. Apart from that, yep good

So simple, yet so powerful. Thank you!
Thank you! It was easy to understand!
Thank you Caleb, this is helpful
Perfect example, Thank You.
Just what I needed. Thanks, man!
Why doesn't this work for me? When I switch my graphic layer to Alpha Matte, the graphic disappears. Do I need to invert the shape layer somehow?
Very helpful. Thanks for the tutorial.
Terrific and simple lesson for a very useful technique. Thanks so much!

For whatever reason, it counts the entire shape layer as a background. There is no way for me to make it transparent. It's only the shape layer. This is a problem
Do you have ideas or videos of you revealing an image or logo using a pre created after effect? for example a "smoke effect revealing a logo"
Simple, quick, effective tutorial. Big thanks
You made this really easy to understand 👍
Thank you so much great video, great explanation!!
nice, but i can't seem to control the ease in and out with the handles. help?
Great video and explanation! Thanks mate, it helped me a lot!
Amazing, thank you. How could I do a loop repetition of the text, please?
Love your tuts. Keep em coming! :)
I create the mask but every time I pull the text down it doesn't disappear, not sure what I'm doing wrong...
Very good tutorial, congrats my friend and thanks to share your knowledge
You are such a good teacher! Thank you!
is there a way to feather the alpha mat?

You saved me! I didn't remember how to animate texts! SUSCRIBED!
I love your tutorials, they've been helping me a lot :3!
finally found what I needed. I find Adobe really nonlogical why you cant have Position tools for both the text or object and the mask. Therefore it would have been so much easier to understand.
