you don't need to animate less because sometimes if you Wanna see your skills on editing you need to animate more and if you got the experience and you know your just so good you don't need to.
can you give an idea of how to do that in 6:37? plz~~what kind of effect it works for it?
You're really good at what you do. Everytime I watch one of your videos I get inspired to make something cool. Keep going!!
These tips are pure gold!!! Thank you so much man!!
that Ghost in the shell shot is absolutely exceptional. i ve never been immersed and invested in a world more by a simple sequence

Oh Ben! You are the best! Didactic, creative and inspiring! Your tips are very valuable and your teachings are capable of transforming the way one works.

Ben!! your videos are mind blowing, youtube recently started recommending your videos for me, and the amazing thing is, many time i look at the title and i say "nah not interested in that" then i read the channel name and things become "oh it's by ben, i'm sure i'll learn something new or get amazed by sheer beauty of art" and it's been true every single time.
really thank you so much for the teaching and artistic creations you make.
I LOVED this video! All techniques are great but my favorite is the eye one! 👀
I love your style and your tutorials!
Love the content you make! Look forward for your course ❤️
Thanks so much my friend! Glad you're finding them useful :D
Amaziiing. Thanks for your work Ben
Oh wow. The first step is exactly what I was looking for, as I have struggling to understand whato to do to add almost similar look of my end result illustrations! Thank you again Ben for the wonderful tips.
You're welcome pal! It's a bit repedative over big scenes, but it's so satisfying to see come together :)
thank you, so many great tricks
Thanks man, love you!
This has blown my mind
Yo fellas, if you wanna to loop your wiggle expression, simply use this piece of code in your position properties:
freq = 0.8;
amp = 45;
loopTime = 10;
t = time % loopTime;
wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t);
wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime);
linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2)
Simply change the values and that's it, you can loop your animation and have a seamless jumpcut with the same frames at the start and at the end of your timeline
A slight variation suggestion to make it even more versatile (depending on your use-case):
__________
f = 2; // frequency
a = 40; // amplitude
loopTime = thisComp.duration; // loop time matches comp duration
// --------
t = time % loopTime;
wiggle1 = wiggle(f, a, 1, 0.5, t);
wiggle2 = wiggle(f, a, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime);
linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2);
__________
I've often needed expressions to be mapped to the comp-duration. Using this approach will make it automatically match your comp length no matter how much you change it 👌
This is Dan Ebbert's wiggle loop template. You should credit him when copy and pasting it.
@@eddytheeditor I literally don't know who is Dan Ebbert and I see his name for the first time.
@@Cydertronica He's the grand master of After Effects expressions
@@eddytheeditor still never heared of him tbh
True legend. Another brilliant video dude.
Thank you so much! These are great tips
just incredible, thank you
the handling of glows of genius :0
I love this kind of videos!
Thanks for this, the subtle text wiggle is great. adding it to all text now :)
Thank you! love your tutorials ♥
You're an absolute genius.. I really loved this video :)
Excellent tips, the last one is the most hard to achieve being motion designers, we do have the urge to move everything (even if it's just a flicker or a jitter)
Yep, I look back at so much of my old work and wish I had the confidence to hold back a little.
Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing all those tips, it was really helpful. And congratulations for the great production style of your videos, it has reached an extremely high level of detail!
amazing tips, thank you so much for sharing it with us
Super cool as usual! Thanks Ben!
These are great, and so simple!
thank you for this beautiful and pertinent end message !! loved the video :) i'm just starting with motion design, I love it ! but i tend to find really tiring seeing animations overly dynamic
Lovely work! Thanks for sharing!
These are great simple tricks. Thank you so much
THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE THIS
Ben doesn’t Mess About!
Thank you for your words!
every single one of your videos is unreal
Best AE channel in all of UA-cam

This is spot on😀, thank you!!!
great tips thanks !
LOVE IT!
Excellent video as always.
Would love to see how the candle was made
I love this video so much ❤
Ah that glow effect is exactly what i need!
It's worth playing around with radii of the glow more than anything. I probably should have made the first 1 smaller than the default 10, but I find controlling with the curves so udeful. You can also animate the curves property as well to change the glow even more easily.
Awesome. Love the effort you put into this. After Effects is a lot like 'Skyrim' - each time I play it, there was something new I found out. Cheers.
Thank you for this
Thanks so much! This worked :)!
So good Ben!
Oof such epic content! So concise, so useful! 😻💘💫
Good stuff, thanks a lot!!!
