Thanks Andrew

Great tutorial thanks

Andrew thank you for this tutorial and for plughin, and also thanks for the reply to question, you and your team are the best, I said to my friends and I will say more about this site, when I wake up in the morning and turn on the computer first thing I do, get to a site Videocopilot.net because it is my favorite, I love you guys, Thank you for your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s like your some kind of mind reader. I was just making reflections last week and remembered your reflect plugin, but it wouldn’t work for me. So, I figured Oh well, I might have to actually do something for myself, but then the next week you come out with an updated plugin that works amazing. The scew and angle are incredibly helpfull, I ran into that same problem when creating my own reflections.Thanks!

nobody does it like you, thanks

Awesome, is the tutorial search button new ?

Can any confirm if this plug-in works on PPC Mac. Thanks.

ooooooooooh yeah .. new tutorial I’ll watch it Noooooooooooooooow , thanks Andrew

Another free plugin, woohoow. thanks man!

You’re back! Man I thought I was going to die without see the next VC tutorial.

Thanks for your work, and for the awesome tutorials!!

Very nice Andrew thanks for the tutorial, i think it’s not you tutorial it’s may be your brother or somebody. i don’t think it’s your tutorial. noway any way it was very good.

thank you

Thanks for the free plug-in. Much appreciated!!!
I´m eagerly awaiting Optical flares.
Do you guys have a release date yet?
Anyway, love your site.

//Klas

Thank you Andrew (from France)

Well, seems to has a problem with Mac PPC G5 AE CS3. Says “After Effects error: Couldn’t find main entry point for VCReflect.plugin (48::72)”

Michel

Yeah… no PPC support. Plug-in architecture changed a lot from PPC.

Hi..Andrew
I have a Question. where r ours VC Banners? when will they appear on the top?
anyway.great tutorial thanks for the useful tips.
Takecare

NOW oooow … What … THE HELL … Is That ??

That Was One Plugin That You Want To use Again AND Again And Again !!!

Thank you King OF The Motion Graphics (AK) You’re Awesome!!

PS: You Guys Won’t Believe it but I’am a big fan from PALESTINE !!

Thanks for the update. Is it safe to assume that all the new VC plug-ins for AE will NOT work on PPC?

Great! Thanks Andrew & the rest VC team for useful plugin. You’re the best))

Any word on when Optical Flares might make it’s debut? I have $140 with your name on it Mr. Kramer. :p

Almost at 100!
.

A huge thanks from Portugal… You’re the best!!

Thanks Andrew,

Your tutorials continue to inspire me and I’m sure 1000s of others. Keep ‘em comin’! (did I just sound bossy? anyway, keep ‘em comin’!)

WOW love u. man

Very very nice, Andrew! It’s almost to 100! Thanks for your free plug-in!

Thanks, Andrew!

I actually needed this today on a project at work.

Now please hurry up with Optical Flares, I have money burning a hole in my pocket waiting for it.

hey, what’s up!!!

i really love the new and very great tutorial. . and

the very fantastic plug in. .

by the way Andrew,

what happen to your last project?
you told us that you will post some blogs about it. .

anyway. .

really waiting for the optical lens flare. .
can’t actually wait for that. .

thanks. .
more power VCP!

Wow..amazing this is free. gotta say i love the products too…can not wait for the lens flare one..

i also thought I would randomly point of the usefulness of twitch, to those that dont have it….It is the most meaningful and needed plug ins…and yet its fairly simple! (well not really)

thanks andrew Kramer! you got me into after effects, and now i can say i love it

Andrew, it just doesn’t get better than your group of good folks. I hope you crank as many great meals out of that new oven as you do SFX for us!

That is a very great tutorial. It inspired me alot. But I have downloaded it. And I have tried to drag it into the support files area. But it doesnt work. What is the proper place to do it. I am on a pc and am using cs3. It should work. I dont think I am doing it right. Please help.

I just have to say,.I just starting learning After Effects,..taking some classes online and looking at all the related sites….. this one is one of the best.
Not only do you share your process but the free presets and and plug-in’s are awesome!
Most sites charge you your freedom! and then some!

Thanks Andrew
You are the man!

awesome ! Thanks Patrick !

BTW who`s Patrick…?

Thanks you Andrew for the great work you do!

Hahaha great man thx

Man Thnx a lot:

Again you did it.

- germany

Wow great plugin, i had my own tricky ways of accomplishing the same, this is more simple, and faster!

I see you have a pretty big list of videocopilot plugins, guess theyre in development as well?
Looks really interesting..!
if you may even feel the needs of having betatesters… ill tell my girlfriends its AE time! :)

Plus…Cant wait for the flares to come out…!
Cheers

Wick

i miss the video intros you had in the beginning of your tutorials put them back!

Goog Staff…

As far as I know, you have same presets in your VC stock, and I this that is better than this plugin, but I don’t remember how it is called…sorry dude, but anycase its grate stuff.

I love this plugin Jisus…

G8 something new…

Thank Andrew, great tutotial and Plug-in!!!

It’s the free stuff that makes me happy to shell out 100 plus on the products. If the free plugins have great quality it makes you feel like you are definitely getting your money’s worth. Even if you did purchase action essentials 1 weeks before action essentials 2 came out (I’m over it and placing order now….smh)!
Thanks Andrew for the great products and attention to detail.

Sweet! Can’t wait to watch it!

Keep up the good work man.lovin these tutorials!

very sweet !!! but the destiny is against me in the after effect bushiness cause my aftereffect cs4 screwed
and my inter also not working I’m commenting on my mobile

but TY Andrew you’r the best

seriously does anyone know the answer to my question

guys you are great you are doing a great job you tutorials have helped me a lot. i do graphics for my church and the work looks beautiful now with effects(Adobe after effects)God Bless you all. when i got enough money i will buy all the plugins.

Used it and was super easy like it alot. Heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZYSbAq3uvU

You are a sick, talented guy Andrew. Thanks for this.

Andrew if you ran for president of the universe I’d vote you in.

I got a crash in AE 7. “Esception occured. Generated minidump.” Then AE shuts down shortly after.

I meant “exception”, sorry.

loved the tutorial but i wish you could of threw in that nice texture in the project file

Very useful. Gonna have to remind myself not to abuse this one. Not everything needs to look like the Album View in iTunes.

People with AE 7 or PPC processors: We’re testing out a new build that should support PPC and AE7. If we get it working today, expect an update soon. AK

Andrew how much will cost Optical Flare ?

UPDATE is out: http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2009/11/vc-reflect-rev-14/

Should support PPC architecture now!

Epic… All the way.

Great plugin.

Wish we could find a way to get away from having to use an adjustment layer to fix the rendering problem…..

Thanks

Woah!! what a great improvement on the old reflections preset, I was using it often but now it is obsolete

very helpful.
I hope you make a tutorial about reflection in breaking mirror and glass .
thank you

Very useful plug-in, it did save a lot of my time..
and the best thing is, it’s from you Andrew!

Thank you so much…

all hails AK & Video Copilot!

Great!,working on it

Hi VC Team,

Quick Question about this plugin – is there a way to animate the reflection? For Example: if i want to fly my text in from the top and have it land on the floor plain is there a way to animate the reflection so that it looks realistic like the reflection is being correctly represented on the floor plain while the text is flying in?

Thanks

Tim

Andrew you are such a nerd!!!!!

I really suport you men!!!!!!

greetings from argentina…

groso el plug in papaaaaaa!!!

Ak you are one sick guy………better u remain uncured….maybe guys like us can contract this AE sickness From You…….
Better than Ever………..

Sounds Great. I’m Gonna watch

nice stuff dude!

the tutorial is so great.. what a talent you have Andrew.. from Philippines.

Tim:

Maybe you could duplicate the layer. Then delete the reflection on the first one and change the mode to reflection only on the second. Then you can animate each one individually controlling the position scale and rotation etc. Just a thought to try.

You ROCK AK!

You ROCK Andrew Kramer! Evidently, this is more useful. haha

hi I am from INDIA . And i watch all your tutorials regularly Andre Kramer u r the best….. Please reply me something andrew kramer

Thanks! You rock Andrew!

Hi, I just did a project that lasted 10min. with reflections. Without your plug-in, all with 3d rotations. I wish I had seen this before. It would have been so useful! Thanks!

gooD job videocopilot CS5

1000000000000000000000000000000000 times, thanks to my God of CG, Andrew Kramer.

The one tease of this plug-in I’ve found is that you really do (in most cases) need to pre-compose a text layer when using it (when making a text layer 3D it’s pretty much mandatory). But, when you pre-compose you loose the really nice ability to have the reflection animate with any text animation.

For example (without pre-compsoing and with the text not set as a 3D layer) you can rotate the text in from 180 degrees to 0 degrees. It looks really nice and it takes almost no work. If you make the text layer 3D, the blur looks like crap. If you pre-compose to fix that, you loose the animation ability of reflection.

I’m not in anyway complaining though. This plug-in is freaking awesome. Thank you Andrew.

Reno, in theory, you could animate the text layer. Pre-Compose, Then make 3D…

Holy cow! sry I mean *cough* Holy Reflective COW!!!

Once again thanks Andrew – truly amazing work. I see a perfect spot for this in our project

If ya ever wanna blow up a Heavy Metal puppet band let us know! Hopefully when we get funded we can make you our official “Blow Carl up guy” – and in the vein of this tutorial – “Blow Carl up on a marble floor reflectively guy!”

Our project went through a day / night change when I found Video Copilot and it’s products – we have learned so much from you and appreciate your work to where we will always tout up Video Copilot.net
