**-***-**
thx so much for the forum AK
umm nice i think the really nice thing is the forum option (a really nice one) but i think the new design is just ok. i think you need to use all that space in the left side and the right side. for example the web page of your Basic Tutorials is a nice design.
congratulations.
Nice job, guys!
Wow brilliant new interface. And I’ve noticed faster navigation. Thanks Andrew and the team, another great job done!
Great! Looks fantastic.
You guys so own the cool.
Looking Good man!!
Yay! Zoomrix is happy.
我迫不及待的想知道域名,呵呵
ANDREW,加油!!
Love the Rollover thumbnails. Really useful feature.
I’ve waited all day for this! Awesome site Andrew!
Love the new look and feel of the site. Kudos to you and your team. And love the discounts on products! I only wish I didn’t own them all already so I could benefit
Uh…
Well it isn’t what I was expecting. Yeah its NICER but the updates are pretty much miniscule. I think the only advantage this new version brings is the forums. But what I don’t understand is why it took so long.
minuscule? I think perhaps the simplicity is misleading you into this presumption. What you don’t see is quite perplexing, even for me.
New website is very clean and beatifull..
Congratilation
ooohhh yeaaahhhhhh…. our favorite comedy and educational site is back… :jump :jump :jump
it looks freakkn awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice work VCP Team!
I absolutely love the new site, especially the video rollovers for the tutorials, a very nice touch!
YAYYYYYYYY!!!
its back up
it looks awesome!
congrats!
SWEEEET!
AWESOME!
Congratilations from BRAZIL!!!
You are The best!
NICE MAN
I see you are a DALLAS COWBOY FAN at heart. Stars rule…
Awesome! I love this place! Great new site. You keep on delivering,.. above and beyond the call! You rock!
I am dying to take advantage of the 15% off and want to pick up Twitch and Bullet, but it is not accepting the VC4 coupon code. And I can’t seem to get back to my “Cart”, there’s no Cart link anywhere that I can find. Is the coupon thing something that will take a while to kick in?
Yeah… those stars are just temporary for the site launch. Just a fun homage…
WOW,i waited till midnite so i could see the site be launched,man it’s better really en thanks to you guys for all this. Kramer OYEEEEEE!!!!!
The coupon code should be working now and the checkout button on the top right will take you to the shopping Cart.
I can’t believe my eyes, i told my mother i wouldn’t cry but i just can’;t help it, its so beautiful
Yeah i don’t think ben up there has ever done any web design before. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into a complete site redesign. Especially with the more dynamic content, and making sure that you don’t break anything in the process. Of course, you had to know there would be one person who either wouldn’t like the site or wouldn’t be that impressed by it, oh well. It looks great! Just more to enjoy!
I was F5 cause i wanted to post the first post… but i had to go to work… so i lost it… lol
New website looks simple and perfect… for the job that is for…
Thanks for the knowlegde u give us….
Andrew, are you going to be posting in the blog when there is a new tutorial or keeping that information in the tutorial feed? I subscribed to the old blog, I’m wondering if i need to subscribe to both in order to stay updated on current tutorials. awesome work!
[size=20]ITS ALIVE![/size]
bbc code?
Nice…
Visit: http://www.Fire-Flames.de
Can it get any better?! Awesome new site.
well done!
No need to subscribe to both, the Blog will contain everything. The tutorials feed is for those that just want to hook into that part.
Great improvement
Hi Andrew !
Congratulations For your new website graphic designs and etc.
Hope to have an active forum like no where ! ![]()
Good Luck ![]()
http://After-Effects.Blogfa.Com
Congrats on the new site! The stars really do the trick!
ABSOLUTELY Top Notch!!!!!! But then again, that’s how Video Copilot does things ![]()
Great work, the site is awesome!
One thing that i just saw…. In the forum the links of the topics would be better to open in a new tap…….
Did u delete my last post here… :(((((
Feel free to delete this one
Thanks,
Answome !!
I Think He Need Just Litte Of Graphic Or Some Pictures ..
I was a bit fast to judge andrew.
Your team has done well. I was just kind of miffed that the front end didn’t get an overhaul. I can tell that a lot of backend work was done to this site.
All in all its a great update to a great site.
I deleted a website bug report after writing it down…
Wow love the website Andrew! Can’t wait for the new tutorials time to sign up in the forums.
Thanks Ben, the truth is I really liked the old site, it was just hard to update and track info etc. I tried to keep the spirit alive with this one but make it a little more modern. Of course that requires an entire overhaul. I figure people liked the site for the most part… I figured it best not change it too much
In fact the main navigation buttons are a slightly altered version from the original site I created back in early 2005, they’ve been the backbone.
OH MAN
I feel like 2008 just started! haha
This is typical Andrew style… everything you wanted and a few things you never even thought of! Congrats on an awesome website upgrade!
Although… I can’t wait for the 1920px wide version! 2010 Maybe???
Love It So Much….
I’m lovin’ the fact the site didn’t visually change too much as I was a big fan of how clean it was and easy to nav. But this new one sure seems to be a great improvement over the previous one. Subtle changes can be real headaches in the backend. TOPS EFFORT VCP CREW! Youse guys did grouse!
WWWOOOOOOOW!
Wow, really love the new search feature.
very nice
Looks awesome! I love the new searching!!!
Wow!
New site works great AK. And yeah, anyone not working on a website cannot understand how much goes on behind the scenes, let alone the graphical part of it. Nice job.
when are the subtitles (for the tutorials) gonna be ready, andrew??
that will help me to improve my english.
Those are a ways off, but didn’t want to get too far behind with the ones
.
Hi Andrew and video copilot team,
congratulations on the redesigned and relaunched awesome VideoCopilot.net web side.
As you share now some advanced roto and 3D tracking video tutorial you may want to look at this:
Imagineer launched a mokey, monet, mocha, motor or mocha-AE tutorial contest. If you win that one you will receive a full suite of all of Imagineer’s programs

Nice…But where did the PRESETS go?????
Can’t tell you how much I respect and enjoy your work and your site. You really do an amazing thing here. Keep it up!
I knew it. How ‘Bout Them Cowboys!!!!!!
Love it!!!
Presets are on the tutorials page. You will see it in the sub navigation and the essential content container.
yeey!! i thought for a while there that this site was closing. thanks andrew and more power
Neat work and easy workflow…
jus a tip…
it would be gr8 if there a small link where you upload any interesting effects from other sources as well and give it a comment page where we could try out tht effect and post it onto the page. and it could be ated..
SITE is kickass…….. all the best
ahhhh Superb Clean look of our new VCP.
Thnx Andrew looks very cool.
Sandy
Andrew and the rest of you guys…you will know what you have done for us motion graphic lovers. This site is a god send! I will forever be a loyal fan.
Hey, the new site looks ausum. I am having problems with your rss feed. I can subscribe to the tutorials feed, but not the blog. btw i am using feedreader 3.13
Be grateful if anyone could help.
Aaron
@ Aaron
I have just updated the blog feed to work again. I didn’t realize that changing the way the url’s looked would affect this but apparently it has, so there is a new url you can use now. I also managed to get the old url for the blog feed to redirect to the new one, so you shouldn’t even have to change anything.
Really nice man…really nice.
One word: WOOOWWW
And I’m glad that I was wrong about the forum
BTW I know I should write the support but I can’t activate my forum account I did not receive the activation link
Looking forward to contribute to this great site!
Fabian
Cool face lift, lovin it!
This site is WAY better to what i was expecting,
it’s even better than the “creative cow”
I can’t find the right words to describe how happy i feel,
the new site:
rocks, it’s awsome, incredible, super, kick ass,………
I love it.
very nice and clean , you kept the colors .i can find my way around the new site and i think new people is going to have to stop and ask for directions:) ,ITS HUGE you should make the shatterd old site in to a 3d mold and frame it on your wall.
HOOrah…shouting out loud .
Love the new site! Cheers!
Excellent Andrew… like the rollover previews of the effects and the forum!
Congratulations for the new site ;).
Congratulations with your new website. Looks good and very organised. Go get some beers now!
Omg! I was just doing my daily check on videocopilot to see if I could se any new tutorials. I almosts crapped my pants! Just kidding but it is awesome!!! Great work Andrew!
Greetings from Sweden!
The forums are awesome but it would be great if there was one for independent filmmakers. I’m located here in Los Angeles but I’ve been thinking about collaborating on a film project with people in Europe.
I got the idea a few years ago at a Motion Graphics Los Angeles meeting where Scott Billups did a presentation about collaborating with people in other countries…
http://www.pixelmonger.com/home.html
Anyway, it seems like a great way for indy filmmakers to connect.
I re-used your “goodbye” image in the StrongMocha news about the relaunch.
http://www.strongmocha.com/2008/08/02/video-copilot-relaunched/
Well done and good look and lot’s of new tutorials for us with the new side)
Cheers,
Thorsten
WOW!!!
there is Forum!
woooooooooooooow my god I don’t know what I can say
hummmmmmmmmmmmmm
juste cool
Andrew, keep up the great work and much luck on your FOx project. I know you will blow them away like you do everybody on this blog.
I have to admit I’m not overly impressed. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE what you’ve done for the world of motion graphics Andrew, but the new site is exactly the same as the last, just with a different layout. Yeah, it’s probably more efficient and easier to navigate, but I feel like I’m looking at VideoCopilot.net v2.1., not v3.
Good job on the re-launch, but I was kinda hoping for a blow-me-away new interface design and content display. I guess I can wait until v4.
The site is HOT, just like my chick. What a life style.. VCP
WOW DUDE!!! This is awesome! You did it again! Im Loving the optical flares on the products! Legend! Cheers
Absolutely great new site and really cool we now have a forum! =)
Greetings from Germany, keep it up.
Looks great!
thank you and happy new website design
i like it
I love the new search. Overall the site seems a lot more organized and professional than before (as if it didn’t already ;-))
Keep up the great work!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Guess new comers to this site will never comprehend the efforts behind this. Finally we gat a forum. Came in as a surprise! Well done kramer and the team…… but i have to admit that i will personally miss the old VCP and be nostalgic bout it you know ………………. don’ t you, Kramer?
Congratulations!!!!
B.
Thanks man, it works now
Nice congratulations Andrew!
WOOOOwoo wivaa so very very nice web Andrew GJ and GL!!
Damn! This is going to be the biggest GFX Community… now we can take over the world *muhaha*
Damn, I bought “the Bullet” yesterday and now 15% off ^^
Great job…and thank you for the forum and all these great new features ![]()
Congratulations…
Greetings from Berlin/Germany
really really good job!!
made in wordpress??
when you offer a monthly membership for special content :)?
i really like your way to do the things!
SOS!SOS!!SOS!!!CRY CRY CRY!!!
Save me please!
I can’t see any tutorials now,I don’t know why!
The friends of mine could not look in China!
Has your many fans in China. Possibly is the IP reason.
can you tell me why and help me!
TeamMax KevinWong from Hangzhou China.
@ TeamMax
Try again, I fixed the missing tutorial problem.
I loved it.. it’s awesome
Good job
Thumbs up, Andy!
@Patrick
I don’t receive an activation link for the forum, can you help me?
Looking good - congratulation on the update.
I have to say that the new website is really kickass! =P
lol - and I see you also gave in to creating a VC Forum.
oh a forum… a forum?! are you out of your mind? you will never be able to read all the posts (which are of course always professional *cough*). i hope you have like three moderators that will clean up the mess on a frequent basis.
apart from that: i like the new site. great search engine.
VERY GRAPHICAL. Hope it supports all web browsers.
As far as we can tell the site is good in IE 6, 7, Firefox and Safari. We of course recommenced Firefox. Most of the visitors to this site actually use fox.
Very COOL
The forum is so cool .. and so is the widescreen look … Also the tutorial loading speed is superb…
Thx Andrew and crew
gr8 work
Great! Good work
@Andrew Kramer
People still actually use IE????
COOL+++ !!!
@nikolaus i think about 70% of the users do
Looks pretty cool! Good work!
I really think we all use firefox! and all who dont, think about your life…
Firefox is much better
AWESOME
Looking great, keep up the good work, looking out for the 3d tracking tutorials.
I smell design
@peter What do you mean with this?
<>
I just say great work. I love this new site. Sry, dont understand your comment
it loads faster compared to the previous one
Love it! Forum was really essential!
oh my god this is truly awesome! thank
Congrats on the redesign! The “Rollover Video Thumbnails” work really slick!
@Andrew Kramer: Did you have to generate each rollover manually, or did you automate the process of doing so? Teaching people how to do this is worth a tutorial unto itself, because there are too many static previews for videos on the web!
Coolness!
Have you heard the softwer called PFtrack … but this is a powerful program of tracking … not excluding the Boujou is clear …
woow it’s awesome.:):):)
Andrew for President!!!!
Very nice design, clean & simple, but not primitive.
Masters hand touch everywhere.
Hey Andrew, cool change…. i am new to the whole motion graphics game but i must say i have been glued to your website for a month now this thing is addictive….. Anyway good job and keep the tutorials rolling, i have learnt alot in a very short time.
Great new site but im still waitin for the new tutorials!
P.S. Good, that site without black colors in BG like most of CG sites. It’s terrible to read white text on black bg.
O_o I don’t know what to say. Each time I come on you site I’m simply amazed !
You did a terrific job, congrats to the team.
