Reviews
Love your tutorials. They are simple and clear. Great work!
Nice! Straightforward explanation for anyone in the early stages of using After Effect.
You explained the whole thing about logo animation in just a few slides. Thank you for making inspirational work for us. Keep us inspired.
Learned how to sequence AI layers from this, so big win! Thanks!
I can't tell you how much time this saves me. I can create professional looking productions quicker and more easily than if I took the time to customize the effect in Premiere or After Effects. Very nice job putting this together.
Worth every penny. Highly recommended!
