You’re welcome! Thanks for your support

[@samantas.3906]

thank you for this tutorial! one question, is it possible to have more than 4 gradients?

[@katerclickbait887]

Any way to add another color to the effect? SO instead of 4 colors you have 5? I tried duplicating the layer, getting rid of 3 colors (just pushing them out of the visible area) and then changed the modes to screen, lighten etc.. but nothing seems to work

[@osahonosa245]

I love the way you say opacity l)

[@BrookerFilms]

Haha, thank you!

[@beneixama2]

Amazing tutorial! Is it possible to do the same but with 5 colors?

[@ETHERNNN]

That was simple but tiring to keyframe 1 by 1 like that. Cool tutorial I’ll mess with other effects.

[@Zhaanaay]

Could you also export this as an image or do you have to recreate in photoshop?

[@MesterEditor]

That was great bro , but how we can export it and use for my PC Background

[@mixturadu1408]

obg

[@alxhernandxz]

Hey, I want to make a composition with a photo and creating a simply background (like this 4-colors solid) but with the color of that photo, like link thepredominant color of the photo with the background colors, so everytime I choose/change a photo (like cd cover art) the background will have the same style, but will change the colors depending of the photo that I want. Is that possible?

[@muskatmusic3927]

Это было легче чем в видео российских блогеров. Спасибо.

[@llrainll]

Hi! Quick question! Is there any way to time-remap the gradient background instead of having to duplicate the keyframes? 😳

[@edenmorales1820]

How can we use this for Lottie animation? I've been trying to export it but I keep getting solid background.

[@iunstable0]

Can you make a tutorial about this for apple motion?

[@shoving5701]

Hey loved the tutorial but I was wondering sense I am trying to make a starting soon overlay for my twitch streams How do I make the gredient loop? do I just copy the 1st side and slide it to end?
I don't this is my first time using adobe after effects :>

[@jenniferatalla]

You can write a looping script. Just loop up loop after effects composition and you can find a tutorial that quickly teaches you how to write that script.

[@chamoddeshan1682]

Brother pls how to edit music video tutorial 👊🎶❤

[@mancerrss]

Is there any way to randomize these keyframes and position?

[@jasonlamperouge72]

I created in after exporting it looks so blurry and has lines all over it. Is there a way to fix this?

[@Cebok_barengan]

hello brooker, how to make 3 color or more more than 4 color gradient?

[@jesusalfonsomezabalvin741]

Is there an expression to move the colors randomnly?

[@eztrigger3576]

how can i remove the stries on the gradien ? Plz

[@NeloESP]

@brooker films how add ad points?

[@jaw1995]

Is there a way to add and remove colours?

[@vectornine]

Is there any easy way to make it loop other then setting the final keyframe to be the same as the first?

[@kryzto50]

use loopout expression

[@modz9711]

Yes, @krytzo is right, use loop out expression with parameter like ping-pong or something it works great..!

[@amirthalingam9771]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@syaefulamri5361]

Done

[@BrookerFilms]

Amazing!

[@connieschneider7556]

You should write the directions for those who are inexperienced

[@gabrealtee]

how do i loop it though?

[@cunty]

i personally just use wiggle on the positions of the 4 points

[@BrookerFilms]

I never thought of that, that’s much better

[@mmcd2377]

when i export it the video has weird lines. is it just the way i've exported it?

[@annavictoriamalveira1086]

same here. did you manage to solve it?

[@aleaheve9265]

Is it possible to do this within a shape?

[@BrookerFilms]

Absolutely! Go to opacity on the animated layer, select one of the masking options and draw out your shape of choice

[@movaitationyt2240]

I hope for new blessings and new money today, December 1st.
Throughout the month, I have been sending out happy vibes.

[@foxlurde]

whiy do not to use wiggle expression?

[@izaias.henrique]

I thought about it but I don't know how to do it. how would it be? please

[@charlotteherlihy4352]

anyone elses AE not letting them drag and drop that particular effect?

[@laurencardenas7699]

Anybody elses banding? I throw this into Davinci Resolve and it looks terrible, no matter the bit rate or how big I make it.
