Video Copilot live on Tour – Talking with Andrew Kramer
„Hey what’s up, Andrew Kramer here with another very exiting tutorial“ – you have heard this, if you are somewhere in the sphere of VFX, especially within the Adobe and After Effects ecosystem.

And we took the chance to meet him on the last and biggest event at the Estrel Congress Center in Berlin – which was sold out, just like the rest of the tour.
