  • @govsensei
    can we have an applause for the editor
  • I just finished the entire tutorial. And I must say what a phenomenal journey it was!!! Now I see animation everywhere even in my dreams 😂
  • @msk4421
    Over two years later and this video can still be considered a treasure. Thanks Mr. Cole. I"m 9 hours in and have gained a lot going through your course.
  • @winterfoxcloud
    I did this entire 11+ hr tutorial and I'm not going to lie, I got more out of this one YT class than I did in 2 semesters of uni. I feel bad for my parents

  • @mugiwastraesp
    Holy, what an awesome course! Thank you so much for posting this out, it's almost (2023) and it's still very valuable, some of the resources were missing but nothing to serious, providing you replace them with other footage. Overall an amazing experience, covering all the essentials and not digging us through a rabbit hole, but instead giving us what's useful and going straight to how to use it, Tysm Jack! hope your channel regains the traction
  • Hey! I just want to thank you soooo much for helping people like us to learn about after effects!! I'm one of those people who struggle financially so I depend solely on Youtube for tutorials, but they are often cluttered and unorganized so finding a huge course that is well-structured really helps me into making a progress! I hope you earn lots of money from this 👍 Thank you so much! Wish you a healthy and successful career!
  • @MrMisterswift1
    I've now done 2hours 30 minutes straight. and I just want to tell anyone who is reading the comments just to be sure it is worth their time, IT IS SOOO WORTH IT! this guy has really done a good job. I have learnt so much in just two hours. Don't think twice, click play. He is teaching everything. unlike in most tutorials where they teach like you already know a bit about what u r doing. you won't find a resource like this anywhere.

    I've watched a lot of AE tutorials and this is by far the best one. The guy takes time and actually shows you what he's doing. Other tutorials, the folks talk and move so fast, you can hardly keep up. I've only gotten through the "Basic" section, but I"ve learned more in that than all the other videos combined. So, THANKS!!!
  • Hats off to his patience. Whether someone use it or not. We must appreciate him for his kind effort. Thanks Mr Jack.
  • Insane bro people like you enable the next generation to become great 💎
  • @27Booyah
    I am so extremely grateful for this video! I’m a graphic design major but never took a class on AE, yet my professor expected me to create an animated digital portfolio in order to graduate. I was panicking and so worried that I couldn’t do it, but after 3 hours of this video, I have enough to accomplish the basic requirements! Thank you!
  • @TinyMaths
    Been meaning to learn After Effects in much more depth and, already, in just 30 minutes, you've given me so many times-saving tips; little tedious jobs I was used to doing and was just putting up with the frustration; you've made some of those things instantly easier. Thank you!
  • @basicmovies3597
    This is amazing. I literally cried when i found this, i want to learn to edit so bad, but i dont have money to take classes. I had to use whatever tips i could find online and i was still struggling, this is so perfectly organized. So well made, thank you, youve helped me so much in pushing me into my future career. You're amazing for this, I appreciate this so much.
  • @i.ncreator9918
    This is a treasure this needs to be shared everywhere imagine how many people will benefit form this free masterclass!!
  • I owe you my future success. Thank you, Jack! You explained well - easy to understand. Love this!
