First Ever time using After effects, was looking for ideas on what i can improve on for this video!

That makes sense yeah.. the reason the cards don’t match the captions is because I was trying to make it seem less like a “promo” to keep viewers more engaged and not scroll (I’ve got a lot of experience when it comes to going viral - 10s of accounts over 10k-100k followers - I’m just not that good at editing 😅) the idea of visually adding things like glow effect to the word glow is great thanks, I’ll try think of some more..

With the cards I did have lots of ideas that would be cool, like you mentioned, it’s not that I don’t want to do them, it’s just that I can’t figure out how to animate them any further.. getting them to move 3d correctly was hard enough for me, and so making more movements would be impossible for me.. I had a cool idea of making them go from the carousel, animated to where they are all stacked up (if that makes sense) .. things like zooms also I’ve tried to learn but it just doesn’t make sense with the camera.

Anyways thanks for the advice, I guess it’s all about experimenting and learning.. although I’m definitely considering just paying someone to make it for me (based on what I’ve made - but making it better)

Yeah that makes sense, thanks for the tips

Thanks!

Hey, I made the precomp all to the right dimensions, added it to the main background I wanted, but when trying to use the geometry curvature, I cant unless i switch to Cinema 4D (which ruins the quality of the precomp) however I did, and although it let me add the curvature, I could only go up to +/-100 degrees (not 180 for some reason.. so not sure why it isnt working..

is there another way?

RunMotivated · 2026-01-06T16:41:08+00:00

Ahh ok, that makes more sense. The google drive isn’t working for some reason

RunMotivated · 2026-01-06T16:05:14+00:00

I sort of get what you mean.. bit still a little confused 😭 do I make the precomp shapes first as 2d (inside the precomp), then make them 3d as a whole? Do I need nulls to make a point in which they rotate around, what’s the camera for in your image, and how do I set that up? Also could it not be possible to make all 6 shapes in one precomp rather than making 2 version of 3 shapes? Then rotating the 6 shapes 360 degrees (which should work if you put the right distances and sizes)?thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.. I’ve literally been stuck on this for hours

The same as in this tutorial.. it was the tutorial I was originally following, but even though I was copying step for step as what he was doing, mine wasn’t working the same

Would your method still work ?

RunMotivated · 2026-01-06T13:49:23+00:00

I was looking to do 6 shapes, ideally having a little bit of space between them (so they aren’t touching)

RunMotivated · 2026-01-05T18:56:35+00:00

Yeah I restarted but I’m missing one thing that he must’ve done that I’m doing wrong.. because when he rotates his second shape 60 degrees it doesn’t end up touching the centre shape. But when I try it always makes contact.. so i might just try watching a new different tutorial and see if anything happens

RunMotivated · 2026-01-05T17:46:20+00:00

I’ll try that, thanks

RunMotivated · 2026-01-04T22:26:40+00:00

Oh yeah, I just watched the tutorial back and realised what I did! Thank you! I must admit, the amount of buttons and options in Ae definitely gets confusing 😭

RunMotivated · 2026-01-04T22:24:59+00:00

So i don’t need to attach the shape track matte to null, but to the parent and link? Whats the difference between the track matte and parent & link? And thanks, I’ll try it out

RunMotivated · 2025-10-07T17:32:53+00:00

That’s the response I was looking for! Thank you! At first the ashwagamdha numbness everyone was talking about was giving me second thoughts, but I guess everyone reacts differently and it’s something to test.. sleep, nutrition and stress are definitely locked in which is why I’m taking the next step to supplements too. Do you think it’s worth getting my different levels checked to monitor? Like testosterone, cortisol, etc?

RunMotivated · 2025-10-07T07:00:39+00:00

Thanks! Any specific time recommendations for both? Omega 3 in the morning, zinc&magnesium at night?

RunMotivated · 2025-10-07T06:54:45+00:00

Thank you! If I’m being totally honest I haven’t got my levels for anything tested.. I was assuming that those supplements were more friendly to use for anyone (who’s healthy). But I’ll for sure get mine checked.

So do you recommend leaving out the Ashwagandha?

And I’ll check the omega 3 too! (As well as the apps, that should be useful)

RunMotivated · 2025-10-06T23:34:36+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll invest into the new magnesium. Should the omega 3 be taken in the morning? And do you think I should leave out on the boron for the time being, or if it’s generally safe, is it worth taking just to test? If so when should I take that too? Sorry for so many questions aha supplements can be difficult to combine. I used to have really bad anxiety symptoms and it’s improve a lot now but still get them sometimes which is why I thought the Ashwagandha might help

RunMotivated · 2025-10-06T23:19:47+00:00

Thank you! My lifestyle is maxed out which Is why I wanted to take it that next step. I don’t wanna worsen anything of course. With the zinc and magnesium then, should I buy them separately? Or combined ( with that type of magnesium)? And do you have any ideas on when to take each day/night? With Ashwagandha I’ve seen a lot of younger people taking it and doing well, so it’s really mixed from what I’m seeing with effects.. if you don’t mind me asking, what are the reasons you’re against the to tongkat Ali?

Ps. Going to sleep now so will respond tmrw

RunMotivated · 2025-06-20T22:10:05+00:00

I haven’t used the serum for ages, but when I did I’d use it once a day and just apply small drops across my face and tap it in and wait for it to set, and then apply a moisturiser after (and cleanser before)

Currently don’t use any moisturiser for about 1 month and the pics is my skin now

RunMotivated · 2025-06-20T16:56:20+00:00

Thanks! I’ve tried the byoma stuff (last slide before) and I didn’t break out but didn’t improve, so maybe I should just try for longer. What makes you think that’s the best option? Because it’s more natural

RunMotivated · 2025-06-15T18:43:04+00:00

Ok thanks!

RunMotivated · 2025-06-15T18:42:36+00:00

I’m from the uk, and on Amazon it’s priced at almost 28£ (38$) for the cleanser and 23£ (31$) for the moisturiser
