    The "Circle" effect can be used as a circle wipe. The effect lets you set it to stencil alpha. You can also make it a "donut" shape. This is super cool though! Definitely useful. Thanks for sharing!

    😄Blog Time I have been wanting to publish a video for awhile now, but often, I'm caught between putting it off or overpreparing. Inspired by a discussion in a recent hiking trip with friends about goals before the year ended, I made a declaration to them that I would publish a tutorial by the end of July lol. And because I have to keep my word, I quickly put together this tutorial. I have to admit that making tutorials these days has been more challenging and slower than I used to do in the past due to a combination of factors such as having a full-time job, work-life balance, health issues, overthinking what to create, etc. But I hope I can make at least a video once a month, we will see ~ - Also! If you have suggestions on improving the preset or any technical issue, please leave a comment and I will do my best to respond and troubleshoot!

    Hi Desmond, thank you for this video. I have just purchased your course on Domestika. Thanks for creating it. I have a question. Have you tried an app called Cavalry? Vector procedural based app where you can achieve this type of effects without coding? It is of course nowhere near as robust as AE, lacking compositing features, but I really enjoying it. BTW, it's good to see you back on YT. Cheers!
