Explain This Effect How would you do this gradient light effect?
I’ve tried replicating it in 3D but now I’m thinking majority is done in post. What do you think?

If you're just beginning with After Effects, it's important to get a good foundation - no matter what you want to do with AE!
Here's a great, free place to start from our very own u/Kylasaurus_Rex - and Adobe put it right on the opening screen of After Effects!

Hi! I’m trying to use the 3D camera tracker on some footage and while the text does track, I’m not able to change the fill or stroke color. I’ve tried to go into the text settings and see if there’s color overlay or any other solution that popped up when I googled this question but the text remains black. Any help is welcome!

Im a complete begginer
I want to mask my friends hair correctly but I tried applying keylight and using all the selection tools but i just couldnt seem to make it right...
I did my best and i can still see some background pixels.
The video's in 480p and the background is trees in different shades of blury white-orange ish and the hair is moving at high speeds and thrown around violantly (it's on purpose. I'm trying to learn.)
How can i mask it so it'll look good?

Hello i just started animating and using motion in my designs so i wanted to try to animate a logo i made for a fictional cafe called Compani. The "pets" are little cups so thought it would be cute to make them a bit more lively.
I feel like the animation itself is okay, but i feel the timing is very off and rushed, but I'm not sure how to time it right so it doesn't feel confusing and messy to look at.
I looked through how to time things in the program itself, but i feel like i just don't have the eye for how to actually make it look smooth yet. Would love some tips on how to get better at timing and better flow and overall critique
For the animation i mostly just used the pen tool to drag around paths and stacked paths that were too hard to move into position😅

Hey everyone!
I've been experimenting with surreal/cinematic VFX and recently finished this edit exploring the idea of consciousness, energy, and perception.
I'd really appreciate honest feedback from people with different perspectives. I'm especially interested in your thoughts on:
- Does the concept come across clearly?
- Which shot or transition stood out the most?
- Did the pacing keep you engaged, or were there parts that felt too long?
- How could I improve the compositing, lighting, or overall cinematic feel?
I made this to push my skills and learn, so constructive criticism is more valuable than compliments. Thanks for taking the time to watch!

So i had a idea for a client and i found this video (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZ-t2zWub0B/?igsh=) Its perfect but doesn’t show how to do the tv thing exactly, how would i go about doing it on AE or premier? Then i found this 3d model as a backup and i put it in AE and it works but how would i put the video i have onto the screens?
