I liked how you went almost slow enough that a viewer could do the steps while you were presenting them (hint hint). Mark

Hi Mark, Yes I know what you mean, but it's a fine line between between several things.

Each of these videos take approximately 8 hrs or more to create. The rendering time alone takes over an hour. Believe it or not, Adding in too much space really increases the rendering time.

I know it looks like these videos are done in real time, but they are methodically scripted and edited to be as seamless as possible.

That's why I there is closed captioning so you can pause to follow the steps.

Can you also do this in after effects????

@TheAwesomeGuyTV

Yes, you can definitely do this same sort of thing in After Effects. I'll see if we can crank one out a tutorial.
