  • In this quick tutorial, I explain how to use the Minimax effect in Adobe After Effects. We'll also take a look at how to use the effect to create a long shadow or faux 3D extrusion.

    Minimax is awesome! Love seeing how this with with motion graphics. I’ve used Min then Max or max then min for VFX applications throughout the years. It’s good for removing blemishes or painting out small things inside the frame. I know it’s not graphics related but useful non the less. Btw binging you right now 😆

    Bro. Using two transform effects to re-angle something that's limited to one axis? That's genius!
    Transform has always been one of my favorite effects due to all the weird stuff you can do with it. Just got even better!

    This is fantastic! I have been trying to add another offset that makes it look like the text extrudes the other way (imagine the text on a surface and growing upwards). Havent managed to nail it yet though!

    Big congrats on your channel - I wish you all the best showing uses for these effects. If i was Adobe I would have the effect mouseover link to these videos. Being an AE user for 20 years I have used most of these effects before but I have rejected a ton over time for third party things. Your videos show me I should use some of these again as they are often more useful than they appear.

    "The Minimax effect assigns each channel of a pixel the minimum or maximum value for that channel found within a specified radius." WHAT?? It's almost like they wrote the AE User Guide to confuse people. Don't they want users to actually know how their software works? I never would've known what half these effects are even for without this series, and I've been using AE professionally for over 10 years.

    Can we say this effect is used (or some other similar effect) to animate the N on Netflix logo at the beggining of the episode?

  • @danielcrompton7818
    @danielcrompton7818 Рік тому +1

    Hi Jake, I've tried this and after saving the effect as a Preset and applying it to a text layer, I have seen an error -- the shadow is slightly offset from the original shape. Do you know what to do?

  • @LuiNogueira

    Pretty cool tutorial! Please explain how set matte works, this effect doesn't make sense for me, sometimes he works, sometimes not.

    • @RainSoxx
      @RainSoxx 3 роки тому +2

      Oh boy, the set matte effect really annoys me too and I wish they would improve it. Particularly when resizing/animating the referenced layer, how it doesn't effect the matte itself. Really annoying & stupid. I know a standard layer matte mode would do the trick, but once you need to matte multiple layers from the same layer it becomes a right pita and gets messy quick.

    I wonder if the shadows on intro texts had minimax effect

    • @JakeInMotion
      @JakeInMotion  3 роки тому +1

      I actually hadn't learned that technique before designing the title, but I definitely would if I made it now. The minimax technique renders much more quickly and uses a lot less effects than the technique I used.
