Steve Holmes of Energi Design has just released a new tutorial on how to create a lower third in After Effects. Though this 30-minute video is also one big long commercial for Artbeats stock footage, you can, of course, use your own. If making lower thirds isn’t on your to do list, you’d still get to get A LOT out of this video. Steve masterly uses such effects as CC Toner, Shift Channels and Transform. And I’ve never seen anyone make the Glow effect work so well as in this tutorial. You’ll also get tons of tips on masks, time stretch and turning a solid into an adjustment layer. Watch and/or download it here.
