Hey there! Great tut!

It was really helpful for me since I was trying to make a shiny metallic logo. Thanks!
Just a recommendation. QuickTime is a really resource consummer, I think it could be easier and faster (maybe not with the same image quality but it would fulfill the purpose) ir you uploaded the vids on you tube… Greetings!
