After Effects Tutorial - 20 Things I Wish I Knew Earlier

This is one of my personal favorite Tip videos. I'm stuck on a Lightning Storm Project. I'm trying to create a Storm scene out of 2D images butI need to find out how to desaturate the Cloud from Red to Dark blue without making it look weird..which brings me to say, I hope you post a tutorial how to use a 2d Image such as a thunder cloud, and change it's color and illumination as it strikes lightning. I've watched about 3 videos on this subject and everyone talks too fast and doesn't really let me keep up. also missing vital clues.

Thank you! Also, for the flip horizontal/vertical trick; Right click on the layer-> Transform -> Flip Horizontal or Vertical

Ctrl+alt+home also works to center the centerpoint

You are selling yourself short with that overused thumbnail and ridiculous expression. Your videos are much better than that. Be original, set the standard instead of copying it.

i knew most of these but there were a couple in here that made it all worth it.

Super useful tips. Very appreciative and thankful for the helpful video!

This is amazing.
This is coming from someone who has trouble giving any sorts of compliments.
One of the most helpful vids I ever watched.

GREAT WORK DAN!! I think it is time for "Another 20 Things I Wish I knew Earlier".
After Effects is so complex there are hundreds of tips and tricks still needing to be shown.

thank you for everything dansky, i will be use these on my projects.

As I've just started working with AE this video has been very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you!

My best teacher dansky thnk you

Nice video. The shortcut for Pen is G because P is reserved for position shortcut. I had to remap the shortcut since I used it so much in other pans I couldnt get used to it being P ( I remapped N - as position shortcut I had to modify the txt file since you can change it in shortcut menu in AE).

Such a nice Information. Thank-you for posting Dan.

Thanks!

i'd seriously recommend this to anyone learning AE for the first time. this is without a doubt one of the videos with the best info/time i've ever seen

I binded < > for flipping horizontal and vertical.

Awesome
