-Window > transparency > Make mask > unclick "Clip" > select second white square (to enter opacity mask mode)
-Create a rectangle
-Gradient > linear gradient (black and white)
G for gradient tool and play around with gradient
-Effect > Texture > Grain (stipple 89, 12)
-Drag gradient sliders to edit grain texture
-If you don't want a gap in grain: double click on marker in gradient slider > grayscale mode > move marker slightly to gray
-To return to normal mode, click on first square (in the Transparency tab)

Thank you T&T Tutorials!🙏

To prevent grains from getting pixelated: click effect>document raster effects settings>set resolution(150/300ppi)& click 'anti alias' . you can increase the 'add area amounts' in that panel to stop large blur area getting constrained or squared.

THANK YOU SOMUCH for the video sir 🙏

For the viewers who came back to refer for basic steps :

1 make dark/light coloured copy of the object

2 give the top object a Mask and reverse the masking (Unchekc CLIP)

3 make masking shape to it and give it b/w gradient

4 apply GRAIN (Effects > textures > Grain) with Grain type: STIPPELED and pereferd values.

5 get out of the mask mode.

(ALTERNATE TRICKS with little different output):
alt1 : give gradient to top object with color to transparent, then apply Grain : regular directly to the object copy.

alt2 : give gradient to top object with color to transparent, the apply Grain : Difuse glow directly to the object copy.

If you want the grain to look softer, you can also throw Effect > Blur > Gaussian Blur on the mask to ease up the hard edges. That plus increasing raster resolution (I like to put it around 500-600) can help a lot if you're going for a more subtle grain appearance.

Loved it, plain and simple. No messing around.

Hello! Thank you for your video🎥. It's so interesting. I only began to learn English and I hope I wrote everything correctly. Have a good day!

[LuisMartinez-hyoy]

Hey! Great tutorial. Love how everything is explained step by step. If I might give you feedback, I think it might be clearer if you explain what’s happening behind some of the settings, more of the why than the how so it's easy to understand and grasp. That way it isn’t just a "follow these steps" but more like a general understanding of gradients so people can do more with this knowledge.

[tahaniali]

thank you so much this was very useful... not just this video but the whole channel appreciate every tutorial

[Lina-fybh]

makin a lil mockup poster for general practice, needed this~ thank you! <3

[fadhio]

seen this effect the other day, found it here today. thank you sir

[vycgamer]

I can't upload a grainy gradient background on the Shutterstock website because it shows the message, 'Your vector contains either pixel-based bitmap objects or raster effects.' How can I fix this?
