Levels + Levels (Individual Controls) + Curves | Effects of After Effects 

the clearest explanation I've ever seen. how yt couldn't recommend the channel before?

So nice of you, brother. Plz keep uploading and teach us more

This tutorial is very handy not just for After Effects, but also for generally understanding correlation between Curves and Levels :)

thnak you sir....this effects of after effects series helped me soo much..thank you again

Just got a sub :) Took your skillshare courses and had no clue you had a RU-vid channel, was pleasantly surprised.

Levels. Just a math transformation of color. Let c be the color of a pixel. c[i] be the corresponding normalized components of the color vector. Then levels will just return a new color using a linear transformation of the form a*c[i] + q to simplify, where a and q are parameters chosen remap values in the desired range.

One interesting difference that I'm finding as I am playing with this is that the levels effect seems to nicely interpolate between the values you keyframed (as if sliding the slider from one value to the next) whereas the curves effect seems to just 'fade' between the two values. The result is completely different when animated.

Jake is awesome🤩

This is so helpful. Thank you

Thanks! In what situation I would need to touch output sliders in the Levels Effect?
