fantastic stuff!
by Robert Bracken

I know that the filters are there, but it blows my mind how you can take the same video and make it look completely different just by changing the order of the filter layers.

It's unfortunate that Apple doesn't follow the same rules for layer order in their Final Cut and Motion software.

Good job on the tutorial. It was very clear and fun!
