You can also watch frame by frame on youtube with ", " and "." buttons

It makes me sick to my stomach on how undeserving we are for this kind of content from Ben. It is always made with high skill, very kind demeanor, informative, easy to follow, intense passion and the list goes on. Truly inspiring.

Definitely the most important (and could be boring) step (but really time-saving) in all creative fields

Milanote changed my life, thank you !

Quick tip for you Ben... You can also scroll frame by frame on youtube videos by using the "." and the ", " keys in your keyboard (while a video is paused). 🔥😎

This video is one of the most easiest for a student to intuit, and I think that's why it's by far one of the most helpful. Don't get me wrong, I love the videos on specific AE techniques, but I've gathered so much from this video by being able to watch your workflow. Thanks Ben, please make more of these!

I learn so much things watching your videos, I really want to tell you how much it helps me for my studies, thank you for this!

So good, the texture on the bat gives me a clay stop motion vibe. Love it

8:42 you can also go frame-by-frame on youtube if you press the < and > keys (I have a QWERTZ keyboard, for me its the, and . keys)

[Aptass]

There is not enough attention given to how perfect that Vimeo clip was

[docaetuts]

If anyone has any problems with after effects, feel free to leave your questions in my channel discussions page :)

I'm going to blow your mind. You can scroll frame by frame on YouTube with comma and dot. Thanks for the Vimeo tip too!
