Check out my course After Effects Insider: https://som.bz/eran
In this video, I’ll test how fast the new parametric shapes, Substance materials, and vector upgrades really are. All inside the latest AE beta. Plus, I’ll share my honest thoughts, a few feature wishes, and a Beatles-inspired 3D test scene you don’t want to miss.
Featuring:
• Parametric 3D materials
• Parametric shapes
• SVG + gradient support for vectors
• Performance test with 140+ layers
Drop a 🧊 in the comments if you made it to the end
