If all my professors sounded and looked like Gareth, I would have paid WAY more attention, and would not have to be Googling this. Honestly this guy just explains things way better.

i believe, that for the editing's sake it's worth mentioning that one can also:
*) duplicate a layer with edit/duplicate or ctrl+d (this one is über useful),
*) split it into two at the current time with edit/split_layer or ctrl+shift+d (might be useful),
*) cut out its middle part (by doing the spliting twice at different times and removing the middle part)
*) roll it (leave its length and position in the composition timeline be, but shift its content forward or backward in its own time): for this one i don't know any short answer, but to double click it to open it as a footage and then drag its in-out rectangle (the portion of it, that we actually use) on the footage timeline (this one might be particularily useful in the example that you gave, where we stitch many clips together, and we might not like their interaction initially).

Really appreciate your efforts you put into making another great course. I would like to see Adobe Premiere course in the future. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Hi Gareth, I'm trying to pick up After Effects myself, and I can say that your training video is by far the best in terms of details and quality. keep it up and thanks for sharing!

[JaniceChung-fyqf]

You dropped this 👑

In all seriousness, I have attempted to learn animation and After Effects multiple times, and this is the most detailed and digestable course. Thanks, Gareth!

You understand us more than ourselves lol thank you so much. I'm just starting Af and was kinda stuck, thanks to you I'm getting back on track. Keep up the simple step by step yet amazing and powerful lesson.

As an inspiring tutor I really appreciate the animation of key concepts, the introduction to a concept before the tutorial and the style that you use to present this information, it is brilliant informative and a key to the next step in an aspiring online tutors journey... I have subscribed, liked and hit the notification bell, cannot wait to see more ;)

16:07 As a beginner, this one gets me all the time! Thanks for the tip…

[MikeChatman]

Wow. Thank you so much for creating this channel. I've wanted to learn how to really use Adobe suit for a long time. I've dabbled (if that) since high school... a couple decades ago... but I never got far because due to various reason but mostly just hard to find teachers. I was just about to pay for classes to get help but I came across your video on Google. I've tried to learn from people on Youtube before but they move so fast and assume you know all these different phrases... anyway, you explain everything so well. It's like it's both detailed but but concise.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. When learn to use these tools and pursue my dreams, I promise I'm going to pay you back for this so you hopefully you keep helping people. Thanks

The Step-by-step Guidelines are well explained and very clear.. THANKS A LOT..

[UldisZalcmanis]

Gareth, thanks for your videos. I've been using After Effects for quite a while but have never had a structured course. Your playlist helps me fill the gaps that I've missed out while just 'diving in', haha. I've got a quick question, say you want to do a video that's synced to the music beat with time ramps and such, would you use Premiere Pro or After Effects? I was previously using Vegas Pro for that stuff but been moving to the realm of Adobe. I know you can kind of get it done both ways but which one would you suggest? Thanks.

[morefifacollege]

Great explanation, I watched this video cause I am going to purchase this software soon.
