Finally someone who understands that not everyone has time to waste watching a video about something that takes 20 seconds to understand in 5 minutes like 90% of tutorials on facebook. THANK YOU MAN, you video is the simplest and one of the best I ever watched. I just needed a quick reminder

    this is how one teaches how to use After Effects, and what I needed. Every other videos says crash course, but are 4h long videos. I remember when I tried to learn the basics of photoshop, I struggled hard to find something that was simple. There is a place for deep dives, but I think it should come after setting up contexts by explaining the most basic features, and like you did, it should be at most 10 mn. I am now an advanced user of PS, and I could explain it in 5 to 10 mn how to kickstart oneself into photoshop (it isn't as complicated as I lead to believe when I first searched for such ressources).

    Goes by WAY too fast, and yet, it's perfect. In 10 minutes, I've got the vibe of it and I can always replay or reduce the play speed to get a key element later. At the very least, I've gotten 20-30 minutes of "Simple things you can and will be doing in AE unless you're not using AE" packed into 10 minutes, which lets me assess how I want to go forward in understanding those things better.

      This isn't everything...far from it. Wait till you get to the part where you have to select a section and hit ALT to bring up a set of pointlessly hidden tools to link one part of your composition to another, or perform motion tracking on a really argumentative clip, etc.

I've already subscribed. You're highly creative as well and I look forward to more learning. Keep up the good work!

Or maybe send a message? Im having a bit of trouble understanding when to comp/pre-comp/split up scenes, and when to do them in one comp! Also just general transition tips! Thanks!
