1:14 - "don't panic yet..." That's reassuring. I'm glad we have space to panic later.

"Set Matte" effect. Cue the lightbulb and heavenly chorus - guess what is now my new favourite thing

[jodyb]

I've watched this video at least 5 times now over the past year and only just now realized the added "appendage" that you threw on there at the end.

[chakarock]

this is the best and easiest way to create grain texture I’ve ever seen

[ma.ysabelleung]

I love how you're constantly improving and updating us with better techniques!! thank you.

[OblivionFalls]

Holy cow I wish I knew "Set Matte" was a thing. So much easier than creating numerous pre-comps with Stencil Alpha layers in them.

[patkirtan]

Pretty cool! I hope you drop more secrets from your time at Buck :D

[LiGhTPouLE]

This is my fav after effects tutorials channel by far.

Man you did not only teach me how to get a quicker grain texture, you also clarified some issues I have with set matte. So you need to rasterize the layer. I was wondering why it wasn't working if you use a solid layer as a track matte. Thank you bro :D really helped :D

I don't even have Ae in my laptop but I have kept watching your vids since I found this channel a few days ago. You worth a lot more subscribers!!
I love how you focus on every detail even if it takes a lot of effort and the audience might not even notice it. The combination of colors is fascinating, too.

Thank you Ben, you get a lot of love on YT, it’s fully justified, you’re the best ❤️

You could also use the property of "layer styles" in your matte use the option of inner shadow. Layer styles give you the option to direct the light, feather it and grain it.

Ben, honestly you're the best!! Only because of you i finished my final project in school with great score. Thank you!

[nguyenngockimlong]
