    Dude, thank you for your channel so much. So many AE tutorials just repeat the same info but because of your videos I'm able to add so many tools to my arsenal!

    This is actually a really clever way to do it. I've been using just ai layers for years and years, never bothering to actually do it in ae, until now.

    • @BenMarriott
      @BenMarriott  5 років тому +2

      Yeah I find the gradient tool in Illustrator so much harder.

  • @AnthonyGugliotta
    @AnthonyGugliotta 3 роки тому +1

    I just wanted to know how to make a basic gradient, but I learned so much more.

  • @gregkrazanski
    @gregkrazanski 5 років тому +9

    interesting tip for you, Ben. If you're doing lots of colorful gradient stuff, when you're changing the project's colour settings, tick the box that says "blend colors using 1.0 gamma". It produces a result as if your colors had been blended linearly and can sometimes look more desirable

    • @BenMarriott

      Tanks so much! Amazing tip :d

  • @justdancetm2731
    @justdancetm2731 5 років тому +8

    Hi ben, I was playing with this effect and i ended up making a crazy background...
    when you make this gradient background go and create an adjustement layer and add a Hue and saturation effect then check the colorize box.. then the magic happens..
    you will have a cool wavy background...
    thank you so much for your tutorials and congrats for reaching 100K..

  • @aaronpatterson4944
    @aaronpatterson4944 5 років тому +3

    @5:17 when you double click the mask, I usually just hit "ctrl+t" or "cmd+t" to go into that mask transform mode. Just to be safe I don't accidentally click on the wrong thing if there's a lot of masks/layers in my comp. It's always my quick safe mouse-free way to immediately select an entire mask in order to drag it around, rotate it, scale it, etc.

    To avoid banding effects in gradients you can also add some noise/grain over it, it will "smooth out" the banding. This can be useful when you need to stay in 8-bit or 16-bit for some effects or limited export settings.
