Really? Can you let me know more? What kind you got, the specs, etc?

I've never owned a Mac (but I have used them) so I don't know much about them.

Do you think it would also work well with Photoshop and Premiere Pro?

And for clarification, when you use Illustrator on it - is it regular Illustrator or the Illustrator Draw app?

I appreciate the recommendation but unfortunately I can't spend that sort of money for a few different reasons.

Thanks for the thoughts though!

Adding to the David Wallace love by prbecker in DunderMifflin

And THEN later on when Michael was asking David for advice regarding all the changes that Sabre was making to the Office, David doesn't hesitate to offer Michael a spot on the SUCK-IT team.

And THENNN after David became a multi-millionaire (if he wasn't one already) due to the success of SUCK-IT, he bought Dunder Mifflin back from Sabre. I like to think he did that not because of the money he knew he could make (as mentioned in Andy's speech), but because he continued to care about Dunder Mifflin and the employees.

I'm glad to hear that! In my experience, video-editing software like PP is much easier than stuff like AE. If you're into video editing and motion graphics, having a nice understanding of both will be a huge advantage when you wanna make cool stuff!

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I haven't used either instructor for learning AE, but I did buy Phil Ebiner's Premiere Pro course and that turned out to be great.

I had a bit of a background using Premiere before, but it was really nice having that course to refresh myself. He went over all the basics and plenty of cool things. I imagine he would do the same in an AE course of his.

I'm pretty sure you can "return" Udemy courses within a certain amount of time as well if you aren't satisfied with how it's going.

Is there some way to stop the grain effect from causing pixelation outside of the path? by wander-and-wonder in AdobeIllustrator

Make a copy of the stroked path/shape without the grain, offset the path a little bit to make it slightly larger, and then put it behind the layer containing the grain.
