[gizmo5444]

WOW dude really 5 minutes in and you finally say lets get started!? fail!

[xAnHero]

hahahaha, your AE is torrented?

[ZeraEditing]

Whatever clip I import in AE, I never get any sound.

[Defm0b]

o yea and @zolaboy sorry im only 15? :P

[Defm0b]

do you know how to get a wireframe kind of effect in cinema4d. i mean like if i where to create some text do you know any render settings to make it wireframe?

[Defm0b]

after effects vs autodesk combustion?

[zolaboy]

@Defm0b Combustion is dead and died a long time ago

[saz2k9]

why do you need so many compositions any way? what does it mean? thanks...

[tpfrozenking75]

what would be better for me as n00b Vegas or After effects

[zolaboy]

@tpfrozenking75 Vegas

[9inety5ive]

@zolaboy

vegas and after effects cannot be compared, Vegas is a compositing software and vegas is a video editing software. Different purposes

[DieselvisionProduxns]

Hey Zola, first off this is amazing, and thanks a ton for making it.

I did have one question though, and that is why do some people use multiple programs to create a video (like a montage). Why not just use this or Vegas alone?

[zolaboy]

@DieselvisionProduxns Vegas and after effects are enough. If you want to add 3d to a video then that would add another program but anything else is largely just for show as you can do just about anything with those programs (minus 3d of course)

[DieselvisionProduxns]

@zolaboy Sorry I mean why use both those programs together instead of just one or the other?

[zolaboy]

@DieselvisionProduxns

Vegas plays video on the fly and is really quick for setting out a base edit if you know how to use it. You can also add 90% of the effects a video needs in there, after effects has plugins and capabilites of adding extra sparkle that Vegas can not though. Things such as particle emitters and such

[JayDetoX]

You've seriously purchased ALL of your programs??

[MSGTweaker808]

can i use cs4? i know it sound stupid but im just wondering lol.

[zolaboy]

@MSGTweaker808 You can mate, absolutely

[TekkenRulezz]

Useful stuff starts at 2:34

Thanks for the tutorial!

[CrazySteamVids]

subbed =) cant w8 for more tuts, on anything =)

[Spade193]

Great tutorial very informative and exactly what I was looking for, keep em comin :)

I personally have been using vegas but now wan't to familiarize myself with AEE. Thanks for making this!

[zolaboy]

@Spade193 You're very welcome =]

[DresiriceThaSylus]

zola this might sound like a stupid question because you probably covered it in your video but I probably can't find it, my question is how do I get the sound to play in my clip?

[zolaboy]

@DresiriceThaSylus just make sure you ram preview your video instead of just pressing spacebar - It's on the right of the screen or press 0 on the numpad - I covered it in the video pal.

[LeakedMontages]

YOUR VOICE IS SO SEXY OMFG

[ihackyou48309]

zola your sweet you inspire me im thinking about getting after effects i have vegas and its great but after effects is probably better.

[OfficialTeamSpectrum]

I love your edits personally your my favourite montage editor but can you tell me where you get or how you make the sky background where it says legacy on your legacy montage do you know when the sexy font flies in? thank you
