Before your tutorials, we avoided After Effects like the Swine Flu. Now we embrace it just as vigorously as Premiere. Thank you for your tutorials. We're a fan of you.

Hi Andrew
Great Tutorial, but i've got a slight problem. the when the camera is on first it seems unsteady and does weird things, yet its fine on second and third. Any idea's why this might happen?
Cheers

Dear Andrew
Tutorial 82 is very nice , I'm just with 1 problem =(

When I apply the "T-1 FX", to the text "first", it goes to the corner, how can I fix it and put in the center like your tutorial shows.

Thanks so much.

Hey there, first of all AMAZING tutorial! Thank you very much..

Now there's this one thing which I can't get past, and believe it or not it's the final step. I'm rendering my Comp and when I see the final result I find out that my BG was not rendered, therefore none of the Blocks are affected by BG and are shown in B

Andrew ... I have to say .. nice stuff! Love the humor! you have a fantastic attitude towards teaching or presenting, ever think about being a DJ? :) thanks for the lesson but i think i have to revert to basics, this tut is alittle above me (the skill not the teaching) but i will see more of your stuff soon!

Great work, and thanks to everyone at VC and Andrew K.

Tutorials are good elements for your DVD products, there's so many things to mix up and use I'm having trouble sleeping.

I guess that's the Designer's curse isn't it?

I´ve seen this desing on air like 10 times with 10 different company logos. Some people just download projects, replace text layer by their client logo and make money with free tutorials. Pathetic.

Hey Andrew! Thanks a BUNCH for sharing your knowledge!! You are such a crazy guy!!

You should have a law department in your company, to start charging everybody who makes shameless copies of your tutorials. Check out this trailer, made officially for a Rock Climbing shoes company: http://vimeo.com/5230232

Following the tutorial - and my SureTarget null object does NOT have "Orientation" under the Rotation menu.

If I go to Layer > Transform > Orientation is grayed out and not selectable.

Any ideas? :(
by Barry Brimley 06/21/2009
Hello. Sorry to "spam". But I got the pan behind tool working. Now, I see another problem. When I adjust the pan for each title, it now does this insane little twitch. So say at frame 1 it's positions correctly, at frame 3 it will go back to where it was before I panned behind, and at frame say 4-5 it will then go back to where I panned.

How will I fix this? Thanks.
by Hector 06/19/2009
you are amazing!!!
