    I like your presentation skills and editing, but the tutorials effect isn’t all that exciting. You do a good job teaching people how to use this plug-in, but I thought AE tuts paid for effects. The Cow does more tutorials on how to use effects.

    If AE tuts is now paying for tutorials on how to use effects, I’ll do one.

    thats not even a tutorial….its basic how to use that plug-in..effect is not that good either.

    Knowledge-boosting tutorial here… The screen-shots do tell you the story… the final result looks like something right out of a big-banner game.

  • lonny

    Excellent tutorial. This one should be reposted like they do with some older tutorials. Now that Freeform comes included with AE CS5. I’ve had CS5 for a while now, but never really experimented with freeform

    Thanks!
