@khcstewie 4 года назад

holy crap, I'm not even close to being fully familiarized with PS/AE, but you walked us through that so coherently and at a pace that seems manageable. Looking forward to the next one!

@ECAbrams 4 года назад

Thank you so much. I always struggle with how much to speak about apps we don't open often on this channel, but are pretty essential to a process. I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

@pastcolours 3 года назад

You see, when you get to 60 and you're a semi regular user of PS, this whole video looks like a Chipmunk on speed, but it is excellent none the less !

@@ECAbrams 16:38, how did you call up their position as you said here? is there some shortcut for that?

@ECAbrams Год назад

@@user-bu5tx3yt9f for calling up any property in After Effects there are keyboard shortcuts. They may be different depending on your keyboard language. For me it's the P key for the position. But you can access properties by twirling down in the timeline, and if you're working with the latest version of Ae, there is the new properties pannel. Many ways to call up position.

@user-bu5tx3yt9f Год назад

@@ECAbrams I have another question: when it comes to "particules" such as in a pinata thing or a mini volcano throwing multiple small items, what would you say is the best method to animate all the little items moving/ being thrown away by the mini volcano or sweet falling from a pinata? Its tricky because you need to animate every item/ every particule, and they must all have their own direction and angle.. so I wonder what do you have to say about that?

@MegaTVscreen 3 года назад

Alright everyone. I found the painting used in the picture - it's " *Joseph Ducreux - Discreet Secret* ". I don't know why the hell it is such a big deal to say the name instead of " _it's wildly available on wikipedia_ ", that the author answers to everyone, but anyways, here you go!

Tks a bunch. This guy is sooo pro that sometimes he forgets about simple stuff!!!!

@christianindividual4550 Год назад

Perhaps he didn't share the name of the painting... because it's a rather discreet secret...

@kelrickds3084 3 года назад

Hands down one of the most thorough and well organized tutorials I've watched. Thank you for creating this - I've learned a lot and I can see this being a permaent refernce as I practice w/ AE.

@iamtommyok 4 года назад

Really excellent tutorial! The vector masks in PS are a great tip for this and the camera parallax is something I'm definitely going to use immediately. Thank you!

@BrainTechPurrspectives 3 года назад

That drag&drop mask from "paths" to the desired layer is simply amazing and so useful!!!

@DaveSpitz 4 года назад

I've learnt how to use Photoshop to a pretty good standard from RU-vid, I think now it's time I got into After Effects, cheers for the vid, I think you will be my go to guy for this one 👍🏻

@Rynaylorguitar 4 года назад

I am SO far from being able to do any of this but was mesmerised by your skills. Great video!

@JoshPaulie 4 года назад

I really appreciate tutorials like this. I would never search "Animate a Portrait" but the learned new tools like content fill. edit: and the control-click the scale nodes to deform (enter to confirm)

WOW. This one was shocking. I'm - could say - pro in PS but never imagined these LOT of great tools could be used in AE! This is just brilliant!

@janineadrianareguengagomez3708 3 года назад

I have never used AE but you mannaged to explain it so clearly I can actually understand and have a general idea how to start practicing

@avanoelmatteucci8297 3 года назад

Oh man Im kicking myself for not having started after effects until now, this is so exciting you can do all this, and you really have a great comprehension and explanation of how this many different elements work. perfect tutorial

@brutallyremastered4255 4 года назад

@Rexhibition 4 года назад

Your photoshop techniques to separate layers are very helpful. Thanks for the tip!

@x0234dsx 4 года назад

awesome video! btw for photoshop id recommend using masking layers instead of erasers and you can group multiple layers with cmd+g instead of merging them down. i always find an issue when i come back to my work and having a non destructive edits means you can keep adjusting in the future :)

@paulmitchell1099 3 года назад

In the pen tool I suggest using the rubber band mode. It allows fewer points because you can see the curved line your are creating.

@ncmusic61 Год назад

Fascinating stuff, I’m not versed in photoshop , just use Premiere Pro but I wanted to learn about animating very similar to what you just did. My Mom was a painter and my thought is to take a pic of her painting and have something move in it. I have a painting in mind, just to figure out what the heck you are doing and if it’s something I could even learn! Thanks

@jennycreative1 4 года назад

I absolutely love this tutorial so much! Your work is brilliant. I'm so intrigued by the concept of animating classic art paintings. Do you have more samples of other paintings, or know of where I can find more examples? I definitely would like to try this. Maybe with a 16th century Holbein Tudor painting. Or another 18th century piece like this one! I appreciate your tutorials, they help so much!
