If you have a multilayer composition and you want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don't flatten the layers--use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers. Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well.

What Are Five Second Projects? We all want to make original work for our demo reel or portfolio. But, sometimes you just need a theme to get you started or some rules to fight against. Here is your chance.
I've recently gotten a number of inquiries on the site asking about color grading, so i thought I would try and put together a blog post that could give some information on this process. We'll look into the how, taking a look at a few of the tools available, but we'll also look at the why. For me personally, i don't go much further than, "mess with the different exposure and tonal values, until it looks and feels right," But there a lot of more advanced color graders who can shed some light on the actual theory and approach to this process. So I've asked a few guys to weigh in on this and share some knowledge. After Effects is a fine tool with many color effects at our disposal.

Ever since my first Commodore 64, I have been an avid follower of the demoscene. For many years groups like Fairlight, Kewlers, The Black Lotus, Orange, Farbrausch and more recently ASD (Andromeda Software Development) have been pushing the art of realtime graphics into new extremes. While entertaining to watch however, demos usually had a tendency to lack in the art direction department. The would excel in cool visual effects, pumping more and more graphics at better framerates and higher resolutions – but being primarily created by coders, not artists, the majority were more of a technical showcase rather than an artistic pursuit.Tutorials | Motionworks
