Sorry I'm new in Illustrator. What was the shortcut key mentioned in 1:16?

Would the steps be the same if you were trying to fade two images into each other?

[emerlander]

That was simple yet so helpful. Thank you!

is there any way to do this but on a free site?

How were you able to "lock" to the anchor points of your image? When I tried to make a rectangle over the image, it wouldn't autolock to the corners of the image, even when i try to edit the dimensions after..

i cannot place the gradient in mask layer

this is why i love figma cause why it took me 3 mins to just do a little gradient 😭😭😭🤯

hi, I've been using this way since for ever but suddenly it won`t work, the image disappears the moment i click on make mask and won`t show up what so ever, i closed the app and start it again but it won`t work :(

I don't have a command key. What's the alternative for 1:16?

When you asked to subscribe, your subscribe button next to channel name shined with Neon lights, how did you do that? 😧

[natasha.ad]

this method is not working for me and I have no idea why and I want to cry

"There's lot of videos of people simply...." no... this is the 1st video for me, and you skipped all the core basics LOL! Also once the mask is up, how to I think do anything... it's stuck in opacity mask setting. I feel like this is half a tutorial, you've skipped the beginning and end.
