Thanks Andrew

Woohoo! Thanks man.

Thank U Andrew verygood sureTarget tuto!

AMazing…

Thanks Andrew.
it’s really a great presets , and the combination with other plug-in and presets is unlimited in motions and look.
will wait your updated ver. of 3D Falloff.

have a wonderful day

alright I was wondering about this man! Thanks for the insight! Keep it up man your products and tutorials are incredible! Cant wait for 3D Falloff fix to come out! Take care Andrew and the rest of the Video CoPilot team!

Nice! Andrew r u able to get amongst Twitter?

Hey,
Really nice tutorial, and i was just wondering about the 10th+ NULL’s. Anyway, i assume i could make a text layer but turn the opacity down and post some video on its place. It should work right, like a 3d video wall, cause you know we dont have to have text everywhere.

cheers.

Always creatively thinking to make work flows better ! I appreciate all the experimentation and tutorials that has been brought to my attention, thanks.

how many hours do you sleep for??? lol
thanks for everything

Long live VCP !!

u creative..and i so shock after see ur promo..^^
from real cloud until pro scores^^

It’s been working out amazing for me. It’s one of the best things you’ve done so far. You tackled a really annoying aspect with AE with a very simple solution and best of all free.

Keep it up.

Maybe you could include a rotational feature in sure target, so the orientation is controlled by an expression, that makes sure it always will go straight on a layer, it can of course be turned off with a checkbox.
If the orientation is the only thing controlled, then we could still play with the rotation values, to give it our own look

Just a suggestion

I just completed a project for work and I used Sure Target quite a bit. I also used a single 3D null object set out in front of all my layers, so after I rotated through them individually the camera pulls back to show them all in a group. I think this might be similar to the TV Wall that was mentioned, the null is set to show all the “videos” in the wall for example.

the 3D Falloff preset didnt work under a german version of cs3 or cs4 So i cant use it. Is there a workaround?

I just used sure target in a project and must say it’s awesome. Thank you Andrew.

Any plans on coming back to new york? If you do, drinks on me…

Using suretarget on a project i received last week… deadline is next week, and this will help alot on animating the camera with ease, in a short timeframe!!!!

Appreciate all your hard work. Saving up my pennies for proscores!

thanks man. tnx for everything…

Just finished the tutorial… what a great preset, and nice job on the tutorial Andrew! I’m actually using it for a clients video right away.

I am also experimenting with the Sure Target.
The thing I come across is when you have a bunch of text layers in 3D space it’s hard moving around without seeing the other textlayers somewhere in the background. I solve this with a simple opacity animation. I also like to use SureTarget for making those carousel showreel video animations switching from one vid to another.

Andrew, have you copyrighted the SureTarget? In case AE CS5 comes out with a similar plugin. You know they’re keeping an eye on you. I still don’t get it why they didn’t offer you something yet.

I am pleading for the inauguration of the President of After Effects ; Andrew Kramer!!!

Holy cow, you’re the best Kramer, I’m doing a poopy kinetic type that has 332 moves in 2D space, I wish I wasn’t such a tool.

Your hardwork helps us a lot Andrew!

Thanks a million for making our jobs easier than ever before.

Regards
Sandy

sounds good. you’re great.

thanks Andrew

I have tried and used quite a few of your presets over the last year or so and they have proved to be very helpful and productive in my learning AE, BUT this sureTarget preset is by far the best I have used. It has taken a time consuming and cumbersome task of animating the camera moves (which I never was able to do well) and made it SIMPLE! Keep up the good work and I’m glad you didn’t charge for this one.

Very good…
thanks…

Clever… Damnit andrew, you’re allmighty.

Great peice of info, Andrew! You make learning AE fun and easy.

Oh man, I spent a while figuring that out and now I check the site, there’s an update with details on how to do it.

I might see if I can get the SureTarget preset to work with the Falloff before you post it . I’m not sure how to approach it, however.

Incredible. Thanks VC

oh…man. Now the Spanish version gotta work…

Duuuuuuuuuude………. great stuff.

good…I dont like limitations

Nice. Hey, thinking way back, this camera targeting could help DVD menu transitions greatly, or even the earth zoom tutorial. Something to definitely experiment with. Nice job, Andrew!

Thanks for this tip Mister Kramer!!

Thanks professor Kramer!

THANK YOU SIR!!!!!

Thans Mr.Kramer

Sorry. Thanks

…and i am sure that andrew didnt read every comment here…

Instead of creating a separate Null. Is there just a way to add additional targets in the expression somehow? Im not very familiar with expressions but if you made it work with 10, why cant you make it with 100?

Jim, yes, but that would be a lot of sliders for one setup.

A very quick solution to the rotation is to copy the entire expression text from the “SureTarget” layer’s position property, paste it into the layer’s orientation property and replace the word “position” with “orientation. Then, the orientation value of the layer you are looking at will automatically transfer to the SureTarget null.

This preset is awesome, and definitely has lots of experimentation potential. Thanks Andrew.

Hey andrew can you tell us whats the name of the score used in Sure Target promo? is it confidential?, Thats a nice song.
I wrote a post a few days ago, and i didnt have an answer. Hope you can check it, and email me. martinez.mireles@hotmail.com

Thanks Andrew,

Again, not very familiar with expressions so i wasn’t sure what was involved, makes sense though. Thanks!

Simply Genius

Thank you so much man! This preset is a big help to people who are new to aftereffects… others may sell this kind of preset, but you, you give it for free…

sure target… more targets… too many targets :p

would it be possible Andrew, that you can just duplicate the targets inside the sure target plug-in?

There’s a poll on the frontpage…

cool thanks AK

Great tips Andrew. Thanks for the extra goodies for my information bank…. I am looking forward to playing with this preset in the current video I am working on for a jeweler. It should work excellent when moving from jewelry photo to jewelry photo….with a lot of extra work removed from my task. Many thanks Andrew.

@Andrew Kramer: are you updating the code fore sure target or for falloff? I normally animate my cameras with a null anyways, so I’d like for falloff to be updated. I understand if it’s too difficult to roam around in the code though

A good workaround for animating camera with nulls is to pickwhip the individual camera controls to the null (with a tiny expression of course). This way, the camera position can move, and the falloff plugin can detect it… not sure how point of interest plays into it though…

Hiii Andrew, you the really the “GR8 GURU” of AFTER EFFECTS……Thanks man thanks 4 the nice tip…..
It was my 1st time when I had written in ur blog regarding this SURE TARGET doubt & I didn’t expect that you will dedicate a new blog on this small topic. I am overwhemled at ur response. You are the benefactor of people like me…..Thanks again…..
Keep up ur good work of enlighting us through ur knowledge……

With love 4m India.

Another tutorial posted without listing. You are too MUCH!!

The sure Target works very well with the Evolution flowers. I just went from one forest
to another thanks to sure Target.
Seems like I am making an add for Greenpeace…
Just beautiful,

You hit it out of the ballpark with Sure target Master Kramer may the force be with you

Great solution..Well done Andrew

“Like eleven or even twelve?” LOL

Thank you very much Andrew!!!

Thanks a ton for making more targets. I was trying to do my photography sideshows with Sure Target 10 at a time.

Thanks a lot for this, I’m genuinely really excited at the prospects of this Preset.
I may be a beginner with AE (hey, I’m only 16yo xD) but hopefully thanks to this I can do a lot more sophisticated effects in my future videos. (:
*big thumbs up*
