Thanks! Glad to know you like our content 😊
you are the kind of person the world needs, an incredible person
you are a creative genius. taking this industry by storm
Haha thanks!
Instead of duplicating, you can just use the CC Composite Effect, as it essentially does the same thing, but you can save it as a preset effect to use later.
Haven't tried that yet. Will give it a go when we have the time 😄

Great bro. A new subscriber 🙂☺️

This is amazing!!!
I was wondering if you could teach us how to get the shading effect on character just like the ones in 'fate' series, jujutsu kaisen and castlevania during compositing stage
Thanks! The ones you see in anime is actually a different process. We haven't worked on an anime show before but we assume the shading effect is being done frame by frame and not in After Effects.
Thank you very much. I'm sure I'll be a regular visitor of your channel.
You're very welcome! See you in the next video 😄

Underrated channel! You deserve a lot of subs! Though Can I please have that animation you used in this video? Please?
Great video! Does this also work for normal files that aren't photoshop files? Thanks!
Hi! By normal files, do you mean illustrator file? If so, yes this also work for illustrator files 😊
💖
❤️
What tablet thing you got there? Looks nice size
I use a huion Kamvas 16 2.5k 😊
Hi, does this work with animate cc? Great video btw!
For the animation itself then yes you can. You can import the swf in After Effects but the techniques used here are for AE. 😊 I'm not sure if there's a similar technique on lighting in Animate CC. But you can combine animate CC and AE. You can do the animation in Animate CC and just add the lighting in AE like the one I did here. 😊
Bro in 17:12 the light look sharp, but i want make it look smooth like some blur do you know how to make smooth?
Yes, you can just apply a gaussian blur to that layer 😊 Sometimes we also do it in that style 😊
@@plainlysimple owh okke
What app do you use?plzz Thanks you .
The animation was done in Photoshop. The lighting in After Effects :)
Wait Photoshop has a timeline?!
Yes 😄
