Veneer will smooth skin tones (or any color really) while allowing you to dial in how much texture to keep.

https://elementsupply.co/products/plugins/veneer/

The plugin works best while making use of the built-in masking inside After Effects, but includes selection controls for more control.

Have more control over your wiggle on multiple objects by using a mix of seed and index. it works like magic, check it out!!!

I'M BACK!!! I'm rusty, so go easy on me. learn to create a procedural automatic springy text, it's pretty cool and you'll learn a bit how the expression selectors work for text animations in After Effects.

Here is the main expression. (it won't let me put a greater than or less than sign in the description, so you will need to replace that part. it's in the first if statement.

vel = effect("Layer Control")("Layer").transform.position.velocityAtTime(time);

x = Math.abs(vel[0])/10000;

if (vel[0] ---is less than--- 0){
nullPos = effect("Layer Control")("Layer").transform.position.valueAtTime(time-((textIndex-1)/24)*x);
}
else{
nullPos = effect("Layer Control")("Layer").transform.position.valueAtTime(time-((textTotal-(textIndex-1))/24)*x);
}

[nullPos[0]*(100/thisComp.width),nullPos[1]*(100/thisComp.height)]

What an exciting time to be alive, when just using the power of After Effects and a couple of apps, you can make Captain America look old. This tutorial will cover using Lockdown, a new amazing plugin for After Effects. Warning, this is a long tutorial, I thought it was needed to show the whole workflow with lockdown, it can be complicated and takes many rounds of adjustments to get it right, so I show all of that.

Puppet pins are cool, new advanced puppet pins are cooler and you can do some non-typical stuff with them that can save you some time. This tutorial will show you a quick way to move parts of a single layer around as though they were separate layers. Pretty neat!!!
Also, you MUST check out the Keyframes Conference. I'll be doing some training there and I'm super excited.

Just messing around in After Effects, you know, for fun.
This was a live stream, just trying out some stuff, maybe you'll learn something.

Just messing around in After Effects, you know, for fun.

Learn 3 methods to create a smear effect rather than a traditional motion blur in After Effects. This is especially nice for animations with crisp vector images. It gives the image a feel of motion blur with out the blurry soft edges.

This is a quick premiere pro editing tip. Sometimes editing the audio and video at the same time makes the edit more noticeable. Watch this as I quickly offset the video edit and the result is not as noticeable.
