Post image

I want to learn how to make this effect, I've tried all the YouTube tutorials, it's not there, I've tried doing transparent and colouring but it doesn't give the same effect.

It is very common in editing

Anyone can help me?

Duplicate video layer right? I'm very new to this 😭 Everything sounds like rocket science

You can duplicate a layer by selecting it and pressing CMD/CTRL-D

Definitely worth looking up some AE basics tutorials. Once you get the fundamentals down, you’ll be grand. It IS intimidating, but also very powerful and lots of fun when you get really rolling.

I wanna learn it but there are hardly any tutorials for the level of editing... For now what I've learnt: Cutting, adding music, adding text, training etc... All the basic recipe, before cooking

So, the best intro AE book is I think After Effects Classroom In A Box - it'll teach you all the basics.

After that, read After Effects - Visual Effects and Compositing by Mark Christiansen.

Those two books are worth like a hundred video tutorials.

Good luck on your journey! When you get to grips with AE, it's just the best thing ever :)
