How are you so unbelievably cool, and hilarious! Dude you crack me up! I love your tutorials! But you are easy to listen to, and your voice is pleasant! :):):) Great Job Andrew Kramer!!! Thank you ! I am going to school to become a Video Game Artist. I am trying to create a great portfolio using aftereffects. I really need an internship so that I can obtain my Bachelors Degree! So... YA. Have a good one brother.

It's a very nice tutorial but for me it feels strange that camera animated from right to left. Most right-handed persons would have animated it from left to right.
It's the same with children. They always draw the sun on the right side of the picture.
One of my school teachers even said that if they draw it on the left, they are either left-handed or there is something wrong with them.

Great TUT! I loved it. @LukasVideosify - Your teacher is an idiot, something wrong with children because of where they chose to place the sun? I am left handed ( we are more creative and smarter BTW) and every time i drew a sun in school I would put it were ever i wanted. Oh and sometimes I would draw a moon instead. does that make me a werewolf?

Hi, great tutorial! I found it really useful.

Although I'm finding it very difficult to just move the camera around so I can see my work while I'm working on it. Every time I try to use the unified camera tool or the rotate tool it is very difficult to position and it will do annoying things like move the viewpoint underneath the surface layer or behind my text or sometimes in the middle of nowhere, far away from my work!

I spend about 2 weeks watch over all your tutorials. It is fantastic. And I have made several ones according to your guides step by step. Here I want to say "Tks" to A K. Acctually it is just by chance I get to know about VC, and I feel regretful to know it so late.

It's awesome, but the shift button isn't the same on Mac, so i got stuck... shift is for me move the background or so, and not move it like you did D:

saju

this tutorial is very confusing. try less focusing on tv's and more on explaining what to do. it is funny and entertaining but its hard to follow
kspmn
03/23/2011
Maybe the confused one are you... Maybe you'll learn quickly using another kind of software, like "Windows Movie Maker"...
Maybe your sense of humour is a little bit different from the rest... Don't try to correct a mith like Kramer, be more humble...
Chris Rendall
03/02/2011
Saju, if it is difficult to follow, try doing the 10 free basic tutorials. Dont run before you can walk.
On a personal note, I have been studying various tutorials from various tutors, including Alan Mckay, who is very good, BUT the way Andrew puts the tutorial across is so much more relaxed and entertaining that I find I learn quicker. Keep up the great work Andrew, and get a T.V for every room in your home!

hi im new at this so i need help.
In the min. 8:22 he says that we have to rotate but when i rotate it, it doesnt rotate in its own center it goes up need help please
Eric
02/26/2011
Rodrigo, Layer is 3d right. Perhaps you've got the world axis mode selected [top middle end of your tools], or your anchor point is not truly 0 on the z-axis [did you change the z position in the nested comp] Hope that helps.
