    Too good man, rarely have an excuse to use AE effects for work but I just love watching these as entertainment, blows my mind that this has remained free during all the years. Much respect!

    @Sekshun8productions 7 лет назад +14

    Thank you for always explaining more than just "click here make it this value", there are always a couple extra seconds to say what you are actually affecting, making it easier to apply the effect to anything. Yours is one of only a handful of channels that have actually helped me learn some new techniques and further what i know, plus you're funny, making any lesson alot less boring and alot easier to remember. a sub for you sir!

      so true.
      i sometimes just send a link of the podcast of andrew and andrew (vc and blenderguru) on not using directly tutorial-learnt clips in showreels etc... and being creative with what the andrews teach us instead of just copying it. ^^

      @bol10010 7 лет назад +17

      Well if you watch his tutorials just to copy/paste, it's pretty useless. I don't think the purpose of these tutorials is to learn how to exactly do " this ".
      Why do you care about seeing this in everyones's video ? Are you gonna do the same, and put this in your intro video ? Or are you someone like me who just wants to learn some technics ?

    This weird feeling when u have 30+ and you know basically most there is to know about photoshop, and your learning curve is not that awesome as it was once upon the time, and you see the level of deepness of this tutorial, and you're realizing that getting to this level of advanced is practically locked for you. I'm hitting subscribe button, and the bell with tears. You are Aron Nace of after effects.

  • @tim.e.l
    @tim.e.l 7 лет назад +16

    Great stuff as always. I barely use After Effects anymore, but I still love watching your tutorials. The times when I do put together a video I always find some way to put a nice touch on it with a combination of the concepts and techniques you teach.
    You always get a chuckle out of me at some point.
    Thanks, Tim

    • @VideoCopilot
      @VideoCopilot  7 лет назад +78

      Here is the update I posted on recently. Everything is progressing! Every new tutorial posted in the next few weeks means I'm getting closer to that one thing... INTERCEPT! POSTED BELOW: When you see me post a new tutorial it's because I'm getting closer to finishing Intercept. It's currently over 12 minutes long... for now. I've been bouncing between editing, VFX, and Tutorials. Can be a bit tricky because "there is always something that will make it better." But I want to keep posting tutorials and not just work on this one thing. The film is meant to teach techniques and I can't wait to show you everything. But since It's already taking a ridiculously long time, the least I can do is try to make some cool tutorials!

  • @peytonbloom4123
    @peytonbloom4123 7 лет назад +12

    Of all the tutorials I've done this one should be nice 'n easy, but for some reason on the cloud comp I CANNOT get the CC Composite to function properly. I tried several workarounds, but I can't get my original lightning back on top. This is very aggravating because I just want to get to the rest of the tutorial. I shouldn't be getting snagged when I am following every step down to the frame.

    • @mforcevirus
      @mforcevirus 4 года назад

      I came here with the same problem. Adding CC Composite just adds a white screen instead of the lightning. Shame this hasn't been answered :(

  • @Wondarcouk

    Learning when and where the Solid Composite can come to the rescue is challenging. Thank you very much for the wisdom.
