Dude! I am listening to this tute on some nice sony headphones. I have been in broadcasting my entire 71 adult years. You, sir, have a voice I have ever yet to hear in all that time. Get your butt the nearest radio station and turn yourself in!

Extremely rare these days that i find something new about ae on youtube. Found ur channel bruh and almost every video teaches me something new. Good shit bro. Itd be dope to see ur take on color grading. Ur methods/techniques for it. Keep this shit up bro

Very useful. Also for flickering fire shine on talents or objects.

Gotta love the wiggle expression. There are endless possibilities for it's use.

Great effect for us newbies to apply, thanks

Very nice! Thanks!!!!!

Best motion graphics channel on RU-vid.

Duuuuuude thank you so much for this ... I needed this simple trick

god, im so glad i discovered this channel. your content is very insightful and well produced. thank you

Wow! A really good adjustable flickering easy way. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome tutorial, Cameron! I just found your channel recently and can't wait to explore more of your videos. I am obsessed with your style, specifically in the "3D Layers" and "Camera Techniques" videos.

Found exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the simple-to-follow tutorial, bro!

Thank you, extremely helpful!

Thank you sir!

Thank you!!

Thanks Cameron - Will give that a try when Am back at my desk!

thank you so much tbro this helped me alot

Wonderful tutorial, thank you!

Thanks so much!! But I've found an even better way to make flickering glow, and that is to use also the value in front of the wiggle. I've made a very soft flicker by doing: value + (wiggle(5,20))

Thanks dude

this is so creative and helped a lot, thanks!

SUPER useful, man. THANK YOU!

What if we wanted it to wiggle alot more subtly ?

i struggle to follow these kinds of videos, good work though, il have to go step by step if i have any chance of doing something like this for my montage

Could I set key frames to the flashing to time it how I want it?

is there a way to repeat the cycle seamlessly?

Ive been trying to do this effect, but my masks don't scale or when I tried to create a mask, the background goes completely back, then when I click on mode, I only have 4 options, add, none, divide, substract, lighten, difference, could someone tell me, what am I doing wrong? When I click on mask, it immediately moves to the foreground layer, in this case, my picture

Hi, I'm trying o use a wiggle expression but I DON'T want its amplitude to go below the original number, only variations beyond that number, can you help me please?

My issue here is this isn't very realistic at all to how an actual light flickers. I've always found that good looking flickers take a little bit more time than just a wiggle expression, specifically if you're going for realism as you are here. If you just need something quick and simple I think what you've outlined here is more than enough, but I would definitely put a little more love into this if the whole point was to be realistic to how an actual light flickers.

how u know the coding?

wiggle(10,20)

You sound like if tim gunn was straight is the only way i can describe it. This is neither a good nor a bad thing its completely neutral to me

Thank you very much!

Thank you ! !
