    I wish that some of these were not so simple.

      What is it about the AETuts community that encourages people to wine and complain so much? It seems like every post has people nagging about something.

      At least positively phrase your response, “I really enjoy the tuts here, but personally would like to see some more advanced tuts that focus on…..”

        yeah,if they have problems with the tutorials anyway,why they just don’t stop anticipating it and work on their own. and yes,it was so basic that even the title itself describes the tutorial for heaven’s sake.stupid fools, tutorials aren’t made for idiots who keeps commenting like they know everything.pffff…

    This is posted in the basicx section that pretty much stated in it’s name that it’s material within it’s section goes over the basic parts of After Effects if it too easy then I recommend to do one of the either.

    Proceed to the more Advanced Tutorials hosted on AEtuts.

    Move on and ignore this section.

    If none of the above helps then please contact you local doctor to help you remove you head out of your….

    - Thank and please at least act mature if it’s to much to ask.

    Sincerely Sam Swire, a pissed off student.

      I completely agree although I have to say that the basix category contains like a zillion posts and there are only a few more advanced ones published these days :S

        Yes, if you want decent training, you HAVE to pay for it (besides the od VC tut which are becoming less frequent).

    I can’t place a black solid after I decrease the size of the composition settings. whenever I make a new solid it doesn’t go beyond the boundaries of the composition settings. even if I change the size. why is this? I’m getting frustrated..
