Hi John,
I’ve had the opportunity to follow the 4 parts of the tutorial today, and it has been a great pleasure, full of tiny and big discoveries. Thank you so much !
I hope you’ll make many other tutorials like this one in the future !
By the way, 3 notes :
- I’ve appreciated that the tutorial was cut into 4 parts : when there are so many fields covered, and so many discoveries to make, it’s pleasant to divide the meal into different dishes !
- I’ve also appreciated to see you : it adds something to the usual video tutorials, and it gave me the feeling you were just talking to me in the present.
- 1 problem : looking to the tutorial in Firefox, I couldn’t see the entire frame. I tried to make it full screen (F11 – on a PC), but it didn’t work… I then masked 2 bars, and it gave me a bigger height, but it wasn’t sufficient to see the whole frame… and the scroll bar didn’t allow me to see the bottom either. So, being unable to pause the video, I had no choice but to look/listen to it until the end !
And for a few parameters you changed into AE, I couldn’t see them because they were out of my frame. (but I could follow what you said.)
Thanks a lot John.

Hey Boreale, Great feedback, thanks. If the tutorial is cropped the best way to view it is to right click on the link and save the movie to your desktop. Then you can watch it offline and have access to the movie controls. This information is actually in the site FAQ

Hoi John, well, I watched the tutorial, followed along, and I am surprised how easy it was, almost no manual key-frames, and the audio tricks and the Color link where mind blowing, and manual text transitions are more fun than the pre-sets. Thnx again, here is my result. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP8z3_yK_uk
