great refresher of the foundation of AE. learned a handful of fresh shortcuts and time-saving techniques!
how about a tutorial on getting clean keys from green screen? especially ways to pull it off when they’re poorly lit! or on tracking motion and the possible uses of it. and i’ve only briefly played with expressions; that’s always been an intimidating feature that i’ve love to learn as well.
thanks Adrian!

Great ideas! I have plans to pursue all of those. 🙂

Added a late upload about some use cases for Masks; the important one being How to Create a Vignette. Check it out on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/5In9ju6bLwA

brilliant!!!!
after 40+ years in tv / video production i thought it was about time i started doing some of my own bells and whistles.
i know enough to know i DID’NT need some complete newbie tutorial that would prattle on about every button and such like, but i did want a clear, concise explaination of the basics… and that you’ve done admirably.
many, many thanks

Thanks! I’m so glad to hear they’ve been helpful. I’m hoping to create many more—is there anything specific you’d like to see presented?
-
actually i think you’re doing just fine without any guidance!
you’ve struck a great balance, allowing computer literate users to simply dive in and get started.
