In this tutorial, I am going to discuss compositions in After Effects.
In After Effects all the layers we see down in the timeline panel are contained in what is called a ‘composition’.

I was reading some of the threads about the downloadable content. Can, and is, the downloadable teaching resources available and accessible? to download to follow the tutorials?

@GarethDavidStudio 3 жыл бұрын

@@stevegeorge7773 yes, you can get the project folder from the landing page. The entire course is free to watch, but there is a small fee for the project folder. This course took me a full year to produce, with countless hours, so the small fee helps sustain further work like this to give for free. You can get it here: garethdavidstudio.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-adobe-after-effects/ Enjoy!

Hello, I am about halfway through the course and I had to literally stop and comment. This is an amazing comprehensive beautifully designed course. I am so grateful for it. I bought the pack of Course resources for seven dollars US. I would pay $700 for it. I just can't say enough on how much I'm getting out of it I can't wait to finish it. Thank you again, Gareth!

Looks like a cool and usefull editing program with a lot of options to choose from to create cool videos and more. But I need to know this since this program cost a little fee. Does this "After Effects program" contain an video editing option to create a smaller, zoomed video frame (duplicated of the main video or other video's/pictures) inside of the same main video? Thankss for reply's.

Yeah, same here. I can open them in the PROJECT ASSETS folder, but they're not loading in the tutorial. Aha! Project panel: Assets > Video > 1 Hyde Park > Stills > and clicked on PATH_1. From there, it found all the files it hadn't before. I'm using AE2020, for what it's worth...

Hi Gareth, Loving the course so far! Thanks so much! Just having issues with the files recognising the LemonMilk font. I have downloaded and installed it in all available weights but I still need to manually click on each bit of text in the composition and select the font again. Do you have any suggestions? It looks as if the file name you had originally on the document differs slightly from the available download now. Not sure if that may have something to do with it? i.e. 'LemonMilk' on the file and 'LEMON MILK' on the downloaded version? Many Thanks James

Hi! I downloaded the project folder and installed the font Lemon Milk but when I open the AE files they are looking for LemonMilk (one word) and tells me that I don't have the font installed so all the text reverts back to default. Is there an easy way to solve this? Appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!

Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial Gareth! :) but why is that every time I open any file in the folder the LEMONMILK font issue error message always appears though I have already installed the font on my computer. So it's always replaced by another font on my computer coz the font is not reading on my computer. I have to manually adjust the font when I open the file. It doesn't automatically read. :(

@GarethDavidStudio 3 жыл бұрын

There have been some reported issues with the font, but I can help you here! The font currently in the AE download files for some reason is not picking up the ‘Lemon Milk’ font as intended when you install it straight out of the box. Some users after installing the font, it still does not register in the After Effects files. FIX: If the font does not register once installed, You will have to re-assign the ‘Lemon milk’ font in AE. Simply select the type, go to the character panel and and re-set the type to ‘Lemon Milk.’ To update. This should rectify the problem. Alternatively you can download another version of the font here: www.dafontfree.io/lemon-milk-font-family-free-download/ This has reportedly resolved the issue.

@GarethDavidStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, yep, don’t worry, those folders are not included for good reason. When you come to those videos, they call on resources and documents that are from other videos and other folders so the course files does not need folders for them.

I can assure you it's all in there. A lot of people have acquired the project folder with no issues. However some have had issues on PC, as when unzipping it can create blank folders. Don't know why. Have a closer look. Also see the page: www.garethdavidstudio.com/courses/adobe-after-effects.html At the bottom there are some FAQ's regarding the font. Feel free to email me at contact@garethdavidstudio.com if you have any further issues.

@pasumarthiashik1099 6 ай бұрын

Certainly, a composition in After Effects involves combining various elements like audio, animation, video, or 3D models. For instance, if you consider an image, each segment of that image can be treated as an individual composition layer. These layers, each with its own timeline setup, collectively form a single composition in After Effects. But Is it necessary to design each separate composition layer in Adobe Illustrator ?????
