Hey Andrew,

I love these tuorials as they are bad as they get - i mean top of the line.

Shout out from australia. So much to learn, after effects is so diverse -not much of a programmer myself but this lang seems ok. Thanks for the posts, completed 3 or 4. Will probably purchase some of video co pilots plug ins once i get employed in the field. Can you guys sell red giant and trapcodes plug ins or similar and a slightly more reasonable i mean they are great. Thanks andrew, i prefer this video co-pilot site over creative cow.
by lolipOp2486 11/29/2009

by gang 06/18/2009
good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.As a Chinese,I have to Speak highly of you!
by Jero 06/13/2009
For the people who have trouble with the "Slider", you have to open "After Effects" in english mode, or replace the expression to your native language. Go to the "After Effects" folder and go to "Languages" and open "Adobe After Effects E". Worked for me!

And thanks so much for this tutorial and all tutorials because they are truly amazing!
by pupil 06/11/2009
Your tutorials are really out of this world and unbelieveable. I really love the way you speak and way u share things, that makes me feel like ur my own family member. At last Ur My SUPER BEST teacher.
