Movie Trailer Graphics in After Effects (from a guy who makes movie trailer graphics!)

In this tutorial, we'll check out a surprisingly simple setup in After Effects to create professional cinematic typography effects, complete with studio-style dramatic lighting! With the help of an effect that's more versatile than it sounds - CC Plastic, we'll create a highly customizable graphic in a single comp with just a few layers.

Any Adobe CC user who is not subscribed has no idea what they're missing. This is top notch content every single upload.

Dropped yet another solid gold nugget there Brady.
It's like you're posessed by the spirit of After Effects
and must embody it's functional structure, or surely die!

I've been watching movies all my life. I love them. But I think I love movie trailers more. For the longest time, I thought these text elements were extremely difficult to do, costing tens of thousands of dollars, and only a select few people could do them. That may be true then, it certainly isn't now. And that's because of people like you who share your knowledge and expertise, further adding to the democratization of skills. I know I've said this before, but you deserve all the success this channel brings you. Thank you.

In awe - yet again. I love the approach you take - especially focussing on existing plugins, but the nuanced effects you create is just a step above.

Dude I love how you organically use all the effects within After Effects. By watching your tutorial, not only do I learn how to do something, but I also learn some tips and tricks! thank you!

This is so good! As an audio engineer who wants to add value to my work for clients, I'm slowly learning After Effects and tutorials like this are really appreciated.

I've been working on adobe products since I was a teenager...I thought I knew everything, but you proved to me that there's a lot I don't know.
love you man

This tutorial saved my ass at 4am the other night. Thank you.

I always thought these are made in a 3D program and rendered. Once again a great video. Thanks!

[MoxOnHit]

You have helped me much in helping to build my channel and build out my content. I am beyond floored that you make it so easy to follow, free, and cool. I learn something from each of your videos! Only wish you released more content more often!

...and just like that we got some Licasfilm magic right there. Super nice tutorial!

Love to way you've elaborated every decision you've made...:)

Yaay! Another After Effects tutorial! I love this, thanks 👍

[Chloroplastspectrum]

Christ sir you're going to get me hooked on After Effects too... the photo editing subscription is expensive enough! Seriously though, your career trajectory is an amazing lesson in mastery and giving back.

[rahuldeshpande]

The concept of using CC Light rays is excellent!

[samueltriplett]

This is absolutely amazing. First time seeing your channel and I'm blown away. This is the perfect counter to Video Copilot's Title making process. Both this and that I feel like cast a very large net on situations they're a good fit for, and this is exactly what I need for the times where VC's method is just a bit too overkill. I love the simplicity and the cheats to get this looking so professional. Subbed and will be digging through all your videos now! Thank you.

[dixi_official]

just one word, Incredible !
Thank you, you hyped me to learn more about After effect !

[DigitalShogunVFX]

I followed this tutorial and the title came out so epic. Super Big Screen vibes only thing is I'm trying to come up with a project thats cool enough to go with it. This was easy to follow along too. Awesome job and thanks.

Man, your videos have been instrumental in leaning PS and AE. Easiest to follow on YouTube. 🙌
