3 years ago when I started after effects, I have been dreaming for a video this clear and straightforward to learn the software. And today im still watching it in 1.75 speed in case I missed the basics during my learning thank you ben you are a legend of this sport

As someone who actually lied about knowing how to use AE, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're a real life saviour.

After Effects 2021 user here, I tried using the track matte technique for the first tutorial but it didn't work the way it should. I suppose it's just the differences between the software that we use (I noticed that yours is AE2023 while mine is year 2021). There wasn't a swirly thing in my Trck Matt except for the manual set-up. Turns out, I needed to place the video under the text and tell the track matt to "Alpha Matte" the text above the Video clip.
