_NO ONE teaches this program the way you do, Jake. You delve into the nuances and the minutiae of it all. I've watched legions of other After Effects instructors, yet none match your language mastery and, most importantly, your THOUGHTFULNESS when you explain the program. I used to be intimidated by AE, and would edit on Premiere. Thanks to your tutelage, admittedly, I have come a long way whence I initially began on this long ongoing journey. You are highly regarded and much appreciated. THANK YOU!_
CC Composite is a great effect. I use it in the process of adding a dynamic border around photos. I edit the original photo using a simple choker to extend the edges then use a tint to make the border the colour I want and then use the CC composite to place the original photo in front. This way I can easily replace the photo with any dimensions and still keep my border and animation intact
@@nikyabodigital Here's some explanation: a. Apply Simple Choker to your image - and increase the value negatively - you will notice the alpha channel of the image expand (so the layer will now appear larger). And these new pixels you see (because of Simple Choker) will be black in color (because these pixels have an Alpha value of 1, but a color value of 0). If you want to change this color from black to something else - apply a Tint or Fill effect (anything u like really). Now go ahead and apply CC Composite to this layer (after the Fill effect or Tint effect). Notice your image now appears with a border around it, with the color of the border the same as the color you chose for the Fill/Tint effect. Now you could animate this image - or whatever you do - the border will remain around it. Also, you could change the image altogether - and these effects will still be there. Does this make more sense?
Thanks for explaining what each part of the effect means for these videos (like what does RGB only in the cc composite) . So many tutorials just tell you to tick the boxes or insert 10 in opacity and never explain what it means and why you change that setting. So hard to use effects when you don't understand the individual properties that can ease the workflow for a beginner like me. Hope to see more of this. Thank you
that "RGB only" checkbox is the magic button I'd been looking for! Been trying to create a quick and dirty cast shadow preset (inspired by red Gian't "shadow" plugin) using this stack of effects: Fill (with Shadow color) - Transform (to flop/rotate shadow into position) - CC Slant to angle the shadow - blurs/curves/and or anything else to match the scene lighting - and....cc composite! to slap that original layer back on top and contain it all in one layer. Couldn't figure out why it wasn't working till I rewatched and rediscovered that magic RGB only check box. Worked like a charm, helping me create my first pseudo effect 🙏many cheers Jake!
Thank you so much for this, but really for everything you do. Your tutorials are amazing. So many interesting things to try out, so greatly presented. Masterful pacing and timing too, you're a proper timelord! Cheers
Seriously. How many times am I gonna be saved by this video series? I'm doing a visualizer for a megamix of 14 tracks that's almost a half hour long. Each track I'm applying a different visual style using an adjustment layer. What I wanted to do was the classic linear wipe with a little bit of feathering ala Star Wars, but it kept wiping everything. Didn't even consider CC Composite. Now it's the final effect on those layers with the Transfer Mode set to Behind and RGB Only Unchecked. Boom. Donion rings. Thank you yet again!
Hi Jake, precious work. I want to make a 3D ripple effect in a 2D image. Kind of like an expanding donut under a carpet. I have searched everywhere, couldn't find the right tools.
Hey Jake, why dont you use a minimax effect for the Faux 3D as you show with long shadow, so you dont have the blocy edge ? is there a draw back to it ?
@@lvs27270 Copy the effects without property link (simple Ctrl + C), like Jake did in the video actually at around 5:25 , if i'm understanding your question
Buenas. El efecto Composite no me toma toda la altura del texto. Es una capa de texto importada de Photoshop. Se limita a la altura del texto. Lo puse en capa de texto editable y no lo agarra tampoco. Alguna solucion?
What does the 'copy' blend mode do? I wish it made a 'copy' at a point in your FX stack, that you could later 'paste' on top after putting a few more fx's in.. but no, seems to just do nothing...
Excuse me, but I have an issue about the cc composite effect, I don’t know why but I have a shifting/ offset problem while using it, currently using ae2023, I have searched it on adobe community and found that same question occurred to others, but no solutions and feedback . I hope someone will give suggestions to me , thank you. Edit: Shifting only occurred after applying the effects in pre-composed layer, have already checked that the size and position are exactly the same as the layer inside. When directly applied it in the layer or adjustment layer, it worked perfectly.
ua-cam.com/video/J3ApvB8sqD0/v-deo.html didn't this school of motion video adress the fuzziness? Since you're using that many transform effects it just gets pixelated naturally, so you just need to rasterize again (which would make this effect slow but oh well)

Great idea, I will definitely keep this in mind!

I don't get it. But it seems cool. Can you send us a link on what it looks like?

Woudl u like me to make a video demonstrating this? I could create one, upload on Google drive and share the link with you
These tutorials are invaluable and I really hope you're planning on going through every single effect. Thank you so much
I sure am.
@@JakeInMotion I have been hoping some one would do this for the past year! So thankful that you are
It’s like Justin Odisho’s series but way more in depth. Thank you Jake!
same me too going through them. So helpful!
I’m a long time AE user and I learned a lot from this video! Thank you for taking the time to make these.

Welcome back, Jake! Long time sub...nice to see you return. And you haven't disappointed!
best fake 3D tutorial on youtube, this will get a lot of views over time
Make sure you check out the minimax technique too. It renders faster with the tradeoff of not being able to control the perspective.
omg
I am using AE for more than 5 years, and still found your tutorials extra valuable!
Thank you so much!
I apperciate your work and effort in putting into these tutorials, and also for replying to your students in the comment section. God bless you 🙏👍
👐🏻

thank god you exist dude.
Great, thanks for showing an example with the fake intrusion - and reminding about making the composition easily controllable with properties :)
You're the best, Jake. Really.

This is great! I've gone back and watched them all, you have blown my mind with tools I've used for years.
Nice, welcome back. I got a lot of help from your expression tutorials recently.
Great series! I have students asking to see a breakdown of all AE's effects on a regular basis. This will help a lot of people.
Very interesting tutorial with a lot of useful info. Thanks.
Jake is awesome🤩
Loving these tutorials
great content
THANKS THANKS THANKS !
Thats just awesome man, thanks a lot!
Okay that's insane. Thanks!
Nice tutorial 👍👍I'm going to save this series to my playlist
You are the best man👍
Another great one Jake.
OMG!This is soooo helpful! Love this series! Thanks so much
Super cool, thank you!
great like always
Wow!!! Amazing!! Thanks!!
Thank you Jake!
Thanks bro, really appreciate the vid 🙏
Great work, thanks alot, waiting for "Displacement Map".
Brilliant
awesome work, hadn't thought of using it that way before!
I see potential for a plugin Jake!
You're gonna make a pro out of me yet! Thank you!
Very useful
Sooooo nice tips and teach
i love you so much
Cool! Downloaded))
Important class
This is great, i love this content. But can you give some example result from the effect in the last video. Thank you 🙏
wow Awesome!! I never knew about this before, This blew me👍.
Hi Jake, precious work. I want to make a 3D ripple effect in a 2D image. Kind of like an expanding donut under a carpet. I have searched everywhere, couldn't find the right tools.
Watch my video on Wave World + Caustics. Exactly what you'll need.
@@JakeInMotion Thanks a lot Jake. I have watched that but could only replicate the effects in 2D. My 'carpet' has no bumps. Only 2D distortions.
Hey Jake, why dont you use a minimax effect for the Faux 3D as you show with long shadow, so you dont have the blocy edge ? is there a draw back to it ?
He used minimax in a previous video. I think he just wanted to show us another method in this one.
@@DDavEE Im still curious to get the answer
It's actually so you can use the scale property of the transform effect to adjust the perspective of the extrusion.
@@JakeInMotion thanks a lot
great video, but how do I animate each copy individually without interfering with the other?
Thanks! I don't understand what you mean though. Could you be more specific?
@@JakeInMotion if i could animate copy 2 without interfering in copy3 for example
3 composite models with same object but animated with individuals paths, is possible?
@cashlost 2 control them as one is exactly the opposite of what i want
@@lvs27270 Copy the effects without property link (simple Ctrl + C), like Jake did in the video actually at around 5:25 , if i'm understanding your question
Update: You can now print another(!) layer on the one it's applied to.
What's the relevance of the order of effects?

OK that's good yes, but I'd like to animate text that extrudes off a surface instead of a shadow extruding off of text, how do I accomplish this?
Is it turbulence displace on top of adj layer in the intro?
Yes it is! I'm going to make a complete tutorial on the intro.
duplicates but they stack on a single source
this is fucking great! thanks man
copy with property links... 🤯
is jake trying to get comfy in his seat the whole video?
