Please do more tutorials on After effect. I have already watched your courses on Skillshare. You are great.
Your tuts are articulate, concise, and engaging. Well done Jake, you get my subscription!
Jake all your tuts are great, training new juniors and was literally about to make a video covering exactly this and now I can just link to you're channel instead. Thanks so much man!
Jake, thank you so much for these cool tuts. You are a really great teacher!
Ur style of teaching are so good, you take things from mere basics to advance in no time.
"Copy with Property Links" this is really helpful. Was wondering there would be a way to do this and now I got it. This is why I watch your videos even though I know the concept very well (Null Object in this context)! You are insane, Jake. Keep helping us!!
I have followed you since Skillshare, thanks for the useful content!
Keep on going
Great tutorial. Just heard about the multiple null tricks (I've been using one null and doing it all manually). Thankfully you've made an amazing tutorial.
Ps. I love your skillshare classes too
Your works are really helpful. Keep up with the good work. And thank you very much to share all these useful contents.
Daaaang, Jake! So glad you started these mini videos. Especially this one. I had a vague idea what Null Objects were previously. This video was perfect in helping me understand them much more. I'm jazzed to find a way to start using them.
My work is done here!
Mannnn. I have got in the habit of watching your videos even if I think I know something about the subject. Global controls on a null! I was using solids, this changes everything. Thanks Jake!
Excellent I love the way you explain things, keep going !
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO! I had some doubts about null objects, but you cleared them up... you're the man. Keep the good content. Subscribed! :D Greetings from Mexico ;)
You are the best out there! Keep them coming!
Thank u! I love your tutorials, u explain the principals of each after effects buttons)!
A few years ago this video helped me SOO much! I just watched it again. Very helpful!
Subscribed! Well done - that was great and I learned quite a deal. Keep it up Jake
Nice share, thanks! First time opening AE and I just wanted to bring one video/object in to scene with the motion of a different video layer and I stumbled on some skater dudes video with literally millions of subs. This guy taught less in 24 minutes than you accomplished clearly and concisely in the first 2 minutes. Thanks again, I will sub and check out your other content and videos.
great tutorial!! helped a lot since i’ve been wanting to learn about null objects more :)
Thanks so much. I really enjoy your (skillshare and youtube) classes.
Excellent tutorial, dude. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, I learn a lot of new stuff! Great tutorial!
Jake you are the man. First time I see using Null as a slide. Thank you.
Really great! Simple, effective and well explained. Thanx!
Such useful and important things to know. Thank you!
Really great explaining this.Thanks for the tip!
Thank you Jake - great tutorial !
very beautiful tutorial and information. thanks alot
Jack your teaching strategy just mind bowing.
Thank you! Now I understand after many videos of explanations, time and patience of understanding null effects. :))
"It's good!" :) Priceless tutorial, thank you so much, Jake!
Jake do not stop making those awesome tutorials
Genius Jake! Love you
Useful video! Pls make more like this!
You need more subs bruh, the video was very informative ♥️
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Jake! ps-I found you through the Ukramedia podcast.
hey Jake!! this was amazing helpful tutorial. Can you also do a tutorial of shape morphing? Like a cartoon game console changes, transforms to a rocket sort of?
Really Really Great for Sharing Thanks sir!
This was fantastic, thanks.
superb. Thanks for explaining it!
Amazing tutorial!! Thanks
Thank you! this was great!
This was so helpful, thanks
Keep going bro, waiting more from you :)
Why didn't I think about using Null objects to control effects on mutliple layers before!!!
So useful thank you.
Subbed. Helpful video :) thanks mate
It was awesome. Thank u
Thanks, Jake! You are always super thorough and easy to understand. I am trying to do this same sort of animation with a pill-shaped object. Would you use null objects the same way for it to roll on the pill edge or is there a different technique?
Great! Thank you!
REally Great.Thank alot
Great video! thanks
outstanding tutorial!
this is great thanks but just still curious -- couldnt we do the same animation with just the redbox layer? instead of null? or will there be a slight difference?
Thanks! Nice and clear tutorial! And I have a question, how could you add the Noise HLS around the box? When I added the noise HLS effect, the noises are everywhere inside the box and ground. Thanks a lot!
FANTASTIC TEACHER.
Very nice, especially the part where a null can globally control effects, I had no idea! Thanks.
the best teacher on youtube
I can't believe I didn't know about copy property links. actually I totally believe that, I learn something new about After Effects everyday. Still, this tutorial is invaluable and you are great.
skillshare and youtube channel awesome
I love this one ! I have a question how to create squash and strech with expressions ?
That's a great question! I've actually created a tutorial on how to make an advanced squash and stretch rig over at School of Motion: ua-cam.com/video/aSaN4yEbp7I/v-deo.html
Thanks for this-sheesh-I thought the basic mechanics of the rolling/bouncing box, as you show here, would be the simplest built-in thing in AE. It ain't-but at least I can do it now. Cheers!
for a second i was only listening and tought that your voice tone sounds very similar to Andrew Kramer from VideoCopilot. Great tut BTW.
Great tut
Thank you!
This was fantastic.
Thank you!
Man if you make video about expression that would be lot's helpful for us , specially for me!🧡❤😀
Thanks for the Tutorial, I have a question I saw a artwork But i didnt understand how they did test. End Of the artwork the shape goes left and slowly be imvisible, it was similar to 3d. Can I send the artwork to you ? You can look and say to me.
Thanks, Jake!
Great work Jake and no thumbs down as of 11-5-18!
Great krate-throwing ;-) Is there a tutorial about using null-objects to create a simple arm rig? I have 3 layers (upper arm + forearm + hand) and would like to make sort of an ik-rig without duik bassel or rubberhose. Just like a jumping jack?
Well done. Do you know why nulls look different between creating a new null vs. dragging a previously created null from the project panel in to a comp? I realize creating new nulls is very little overhead, but I like to reuse things when I can - and dragging a null from the project panel shows solid, set opacity to 0 to match a created null but the box doesn't show?
Super helpful
This Video Is the most perfect one about understanding Null Objects
Jake, I find the tool "Link Focus Distance To Layer" useful, but it's only available for two-node cameras. Since I'd like to stick with one-node cameras, is there a workaround to achieve this basically auto-fous tool? Thanks.
Amazing explanation about null objects...
really cool, if you hold ctrl while moving the null it snaps to the edges of the cube
Hey Jake, just subscribed. Do you think you could make a future tutorial on Track Mattes. I got the basic understanding of what they are but I still find them a bit confusing and not knowing when/ how to properly use them. Thanks.
Absolutely! Great topic, thanks!
Jake can you DEMYSTIFY animation curves in AE (DEEP DIVE) video
I'm so curious about it
I actually have a Skillshare class on that topic exactly: skl.sh/2EMugXE
Thanks for this tutorial Please am very new in graphics generally please i need some to tutor me all through graphics journey please i need more of you sir thanks.
Can you suggest me about installing element on after effects cc 2015. I tried but failed. Getting error messages.
This must be the clearest tutorial I have watched.
How do we know which null to parent with which? I'm asking about the parenting direction.
Very good one. Made 15 minutes look like 5! What would happen if I haven´t separated dimensions whilst animating?
Help so when I try to do a zoom transition I press s on my Mac for scale and when I do it just says "scale” and it doesn’t show the numbers so basically I can’t zoom in
thankyou! please do keep sharing such stuffs. thanks
Thanks
Hey Jake. Forgive the dumb question, but how did you achieve the ground effect?
Please can you do video about a rectangle move in a arc there is a video about 12 principles and one of that is arc ... so can you demonstrate how can you make a rectangle move as arc way ?? Thank you
This video is change my editing in ae 💖💖💖💖🔥🔥
tq bro
..
8:31 so helpful thanks!
How did you get the grain to go along the edge of the square so well? I tried adding a radial gradient fill, but it is still circular and doesn't exactly match the edge as well as yours. These are great tutorials btw!
I used an inner shadow layer style. Then I added the noise HLS to add grain, levels to add contrast, and a tint to control the color.
Hello everybody,
I have question about null object.
I need to move different layers in my composition.
But some layers are previously connected with a null objet.
When i create a new null object for the same layers, the old link is break.
Question : Can I use two nulls for on layers. Of cours if it's not possible, how can i get around the problem ?
Thanks
Awesome! Does anyone know if there is some keyboard shortcut or some way to temporarily move a null object without moving everything that is pick whipped to it? When I google this I get nothing but intro courses on using null objects, but I just want to know this one thing. I've been working on an animation and want to reposition a null before continuing my work. There are tons of layers pick whipped to it, but not all. So instead of going through and selecting individual layers, un-parenting, moving the null, re-selecting individual layers and re-parenting, I just want to +BOOP+ move the null and that's it. Thanks in advance!
Not that I know of, but it would probably be quicker to just make a new null in the new position and then parent the original null to it.
This will make my job easier thanks!
Awesome!
Here is a Badge called "Respect" from me. :D I thought I knew how to use null objects until I saw this video. I watched it at 1.25 Speed because I'm not an absolute beginner. So, Thank you. I subbed you.
Halloo! Urgent questionnnnn, can i use the null objects to place an effect like wiggle in many layers to make them move as one? i've been trying to do it but i can't and haven't seen a video where someone does it.
If you want all the layers to move as if they were one, yes. Just parent all of the layers to the null object and put your wiggle expression on the null's position property.
why my null object efect my color of my text and why i can't pug glow on the text after it is on the null
I have a question whenever I try to do my null object I cant find the red box in the middle it disappeared mind telling me how to fix that?
What do you mean by the red box? The null object outline?
you got me a bit confused there when you deleted the first null object, I didn't notice until you added the second one but overall thanks
