I was struggling with depth of field earlier this week so this video is right on time to help me out. Thanks for explaining!

[@MotionScience]

Happy to help!

Make sure you have your renderer on classic 3d, not cinema 4d. thanks for the tutorial!

[@Theakker3B]

The only thing listed in my 'Camera Options' is Zoom...

[@uniquemoments1000]

Really, really help. Many thanks.

[@MotionScience]

You bet!

[@Aftermotions]

Great finally I understood that 👍

[@luiscontreras2566]

Great video :)
Could you make the hud tutorial and how you approached the design? I think it would be really cool

[@MotionScience]

Hi Luis. I teach this in the StyleCraft course.

[@msvonangel93]

when do you use the null object with the camera?

[@Chrix3D]

Another great tutorial.
I know that you skip photoshop for designing and do it directly in AE. I was wondering about the other end of the process. Do you ever go into Premiere? If you do, what does your workflow look like then?

[@MotionScience]

Hi Christoffer. I use Premiere for heavy editing. Light editing I tend to stay in AE. I also use Premiere for laying out animatics and timing pieces.

Please. This doesn't work with us. We need more frequent tutorials. You give us a tutorial every now and then and this isn't enough.

[@kenmacool5177]

how dare you

[@LennertK]

Really? You’re asking someone who provides knowledge and tutorials completely for free to give you more because it isn’t enough for you? Can’t you just be thankful for what you do get instead of asking for more?

[@Richard_Bumblebee]

I don't mean to be "that guy" and point out the obvious but you so realize UA-cam has a search bar right?

[@noog6756]

Ur slow
