Fantastic! Blooming fantastic. VC is just going from strength to strength. Keep up the good work!

Whenever I visit your site, impressed me more and more.
Congratulations for the great ideas!

Welcome, Serg! Can’t wait to see what you guys dream up next.

Welcome Sergio! Andrew, when it comes to creativity – you’re a genius!

Welcome, Sergio! I’m glad to see VC is growing. Cheers!

Salam

Bravo j’aime bien vos réalisations, bonne chance pour la suite

Good!!! I bet he is Latino with that name… Dime que no amigo Sergio!!!!!

Congrats to the VC Team

Yeah, I already saw that Sergio is like a robot from the future! That was only a matter of time! Congrats

Thank you Andrew! Glad to be part of the best team ever!

Welcome to the team Sergio !

Great! Glad to have another member if it means even powerful plugins. Welcome aboard!

Awesome, welcome Sergio!

A warm welcome to Sergio. Creative ideas somtimes need a technical aspect to be realized…
As an flash developer i can tell

and always remember: developers and programmers ARE… “boring people without a life”. Nothing personal just heard that at the AdobeMax conference and couldn’t resist to quote that line.

greetings from germany
btw: Merry Christmas and a happy new year

It’s true. He’s a genius. Congrats! VC and Serg!

Sergio, welcome and good luck!

Or in spanish: “Bienvenido y buena suerte!”

Wait… Sérgio Gil it’s a portuguese name!

Is he from Brazil or Portugal?

In portuguse: Bem-vindo! (welcome)

You better treat him better than Sam (ha). Good news for everyone.
Brett

Cool . I think it’s great that you offer both quality products and quality training, this is the ideal site for anyone who wants to get more out of After Effects.

Welcome Sergio

Welcome, Sergio! I’m looking forward to new exciting plugins!

Yes! SCORE!!!!!!

Wish you all the best

Optical Flares=AMAZING!!!!

Good luck! Now make sure to keep the costs down

cheers!
a small step for a man..

hehehe

True programmers will never be social creatures or talk to commoners on a level they remotely understand; but they possess an amazing ability to think in logic that makes what they bring to the table a very valuable resource.

Do us proud, Sergio of VCP.

Keep Going! I hope VC become a large team in the years to come.

Hope the flares comes out before christmas since that is going to be my present. Can’t wait.

Man!!!!
Its like candy every time you visit vcp, insane!!! These are great news, Keep it up guys!

hum… very good ;D

Great step Andrew!!!
One day you guys will buy the whole Adobe Package )

and welcome to Sergio!

God Job!
PS: will you make a promo video for Optical Flares?
I hope you do, you must!

Sergio welcome to our world and a dynasty in the making.

Good work dude!

Congratulations AK and welcome Sergio. Watch out Knoll Bros.
c

Welcome Sergio! Thanks for lending your genius to an already outstanding unit. We appreciate your talents.

Welcome Sergio. Look forward to seeing what you can provide for the community.

Because Today is Independence Day!?

You guys are the best! Looking forward to even greater things from the VCP team!

kramers friends are my friends – I hope you won´t mess it up my friend

Welcome Sergio!

One day we’re all gonna remember when VC was just a tutorial website with a couple of products. I envision a future as a VFX software powerhouse, good luck on your journey I believe in you guys.

Cool when do you plan to blow him up or hit him with lightening?? Remember “People gotta die”

VCP is putting on some weight! who said fat is ugly

Welcom Sergio for the community.

Hey! Welcome Sergio !!!! Where sergio come from? São Paulo? Rio? if he is Brazilian
” Ben vindo meu chapa Detona ai!!!!
Um abraço!

@sven

sergenius! <–lol

Do you need a video editor?

Sergenius lool! I like that Adam!
Welcome on board Sergio

GREAT! Now get back to work before a mob comes for your flares!!! Got the moolah set aside to add 32 peices of flare to my next project!!

Welcome to the community! At this rate VideoCopilot products will rival trapcode, and I have absolute faith that they will surpass trapcode. In a few years people will as “what the hell is particular?” When AK releases “VCP Particle Circus of flying elephants and maybe some other stuff” which will be the longest plugin name ever!

Welcome Sergio to VC. Nice to know that you are a genius.:)

Welcome Sergio, but look out for Andrew, he might try to make you explode.

Welcome to Videocopilot Sergio!!!

We are glad you are part of the team now.
We are sure you are going to bring great ideas to VCP.

God Bless =D

Congrats Sergio
I know that you will do well.
pull some pranks on Andrew.

hola sergio… andrew you should make the recent messages show at the top like youtube

Nice new!
btw Does Andrew ever reply in comments?

Oh yes I am sure Andrew can see you where ever you are.
He is deep in our hearts, don’t forget: For where two or three have gathered together in his name, he is there in their midst

Andrew,

Good step and model and right path like Steve Jobs! You don’t have to get stressed out. With a good team you can grow and be creative with new ideas.

Good move!

Hari

Oh god they’re multiplying, now there are 2 robot geniuses working together! Andrew built Sergio, i have pictures.. lol

Welcome Sergio, i’m sure you are a great asset to the company.

welcome to the ol’ gang Sergio!

Welcome Sergio!!!!

Grrrrrrrrr8
Ur Best Andrew

Welcome Sergio you are joining the best team ever XD love to be on the site

Great to see VC developping and growing, I like everything you do keep those tuts coming and great plug ins

Welcome to VC, Sergio! I love to here that great news! This will be great christmas!

This is obviously a big day for VC, so, welcome Sergio! I can’t wait to see all the awesomeness that this is going to result in!

Maybe you can place a picture of Sergio. Or better take a short film about the VC Crew

Will the hundredth tutorial be on how to create a Sergio?

Hi,

will the optical flares plugin work in Digital Fusion?

Most After Effects Plugs work in Fusion, but if user interfaces differ from the basic standards they won´t work.

So, is there only your advanced interface or is this optional?
Thanks
Holger

Yo, he’s prob Italian man. Send by ‘the Don’ to keep an eye on Andrew, cause he is taking over the whole shebang man!
This comment won’t even make it to be published!
Anyways, welcome to the familia Serg!

Welcome Sergio!!!!

Welcome Serigo. If Andrew says that you’re a Genious then you probably are 99x genious!

Bem vindo sergio!!

clap clap! Congrats VC Powerhouse team! )

Welcome to VC Sergio!

Fantastic, great news guys

It is clear from the profound insight we have that Sergio will be our best friend, our light in the darkness, our consolation if we are ill or die. Yes, my fist son will be called Sergio, the second one Sergio 2.
I will write to the pope to whether St. Sergio is already a registered saint.

This is ausome !

I honestly think that this is the best, the most fun site
I have ever been and the prices are relly reasonable and andrew has every product you need to make a good movie
(providing you dont have a crapie camera.) So for that..
….I commend this site

Around of applause clap clap clap clap!

And a warm Welcome…… TO… the new member… SERGIO..

Its a real pleasure I cant wait to see how all the things you help make turn out!

Willcommen bei videopilot.net tuchess(german)

Andrew, so far you are doing great.

Speaking of that, maybe one day you wanna work on Premiere Pro too ?

You see, using AE’s getting better and better thanks to you and your team, but PPro still sucks.

How could you simplify our worflows and have us easily use your effects in AE AND Ppro.

Just a though…

See ya

I’ve got this feeling that in the future I will not be looking beyond VC for my AE Tools. Sergio, we’re hearing that you are THE MAN!

GO ! SERGIO GO !!!

ur like a God in editin’ keep rockin n keep the good stuff comin…..

Congrats on joiniing the VC team Sergio!!

I’m really glad that some latino influence is getting into such an important compañy!!! WELCOME SERGIO!!! La neta creo que Videocopilot se pondra mas y mas interesante desde ahora!

Welcome, Sergio! I’m glad to see VideoCopilot is growing.

Andrew;
I’ve been a lurker for awhile. I’ve bought four of your disks and they’re great. For ten years I ran an online mag and I know how hard it is to make this work.

This is particularly difficult when you do it by giving away top quality stuff. Your tutorials have really lifted my work up several notches.

I just wanted to say that it’s great to see you are succeeding by doing it the hard (and generous) way.
congrats.
Gary

This is a big day for all VC fans! Welcome Sergio!

Ave Sergio!!!!
I’m really happy that you, Andrew, and guys now will connect your creativity with programming the after effects

Congrats guys! And welcome Sir Geo!

I wish i was Sergio….

Congrats, sergio!
good luck video copilot

Welcome Sergio ! Can’t wait to see this new awesome stuff ! I wish you all the best

Congrats Andrew on your achievements so far and for the future. Welcome Sergio, I am sure you are having a ball of a time with AK’s ideas

Welcome to VC, Sergio! I guess he’s latin, isn’t he?
Congratulations, Andrew! VC is growing and growing… That really sounds good. I celebrate it.

Cheers from Argentina

so proud to be a part of Video copilot! It more than just a company! Thanks for everything

good news for the future of AE with VC !
the adobe developpers are seleeping quite a whilethis last years.
time for you to create strong fonctionality to our favorite tool.

-there is a long list of poor fonctions to boost, morphin, for exemple shoud be a aesy task now, but y am still using elastic reality for that (old, but very fast with the newests pcs

-retiming perfectly is still a very painstaking task to do also.

-hey guys, you have scared knoll light factory, ah, ah ! ! sudenlly they anounced they updated their plug… so funny.

so…good work, old on, bravo!
(excuse my poor english, i am french)

Any news on the release date?

Welcome Sergio. You will not regret working with these guys, they are all legends, true professionals.

I thank you for all your efforts in advanced and again, welcome

Dominic

Welcome Sergio….if you are even half as funny….30% as creative and 20x times better in programming then you are one hell of an addition to the team .
I wish all of you guys a great X-mas and even a better New Year…hmmmm maybe make a nice tutorial about a x-mas/new year theme to close the year off ??

Roderick

p.s. does the addition of sergio mean we got to start paying for the tutorials?? Cause we all know programmers are sooooo over priced ….just kidding…don’t take any note of the last 3 lines

Welcome Sergio!!

we wish you more succeses
regards noori from afghanistan

Welcome Sergio….just watch out for Andrew. He might be telling you he needs help with programming, and the next thing you know, you are getting electrocuted in one of his tutorials….;)

I can’t wait to see the reveal of the Optical flares. the design of the FX screen is awesome and looks so easy to use…..drool drool drool….

Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!

Welcome Sergio!
Such a creative person’s name.
Welcome to Video Copilot!
Best wishes,
Sergio

for autodesk combustion 2008 ??

bienvenido Sergio!!

que los nuevos desafíos sean muy entretenidos…

happy code!

Hi Andrew, and welcome Sergio,

IF I WRITE IN CAPITALS….WILL YOU NOTICE WHEN YOU’RE SCROLLING DOWN? lol

I KNOW WHAT YOU AND THE NEW TEAM CAN DEVELOP. NOW THAT YOU’VE MADE AN AFFORDABLE LENSE FLARE PLUG-IN ( I’d make a substantial bet that it’ll be less than Knoll Light Studio!)

…Can you next look to make an affordable keying software. Ultimatte is outstanding as I use it as work, but I’m definately not going to pay £1,000 of my hard-earned cash to use it at home. It’s just too much money for what it is. If it’s affordable…then people won’t use dodgy copies of it and buy it.

Why can’t software companies make this simple correlation! (rant, sorry!)

I’m sure, step-by-step you’ll blast all these big names out of the water. Just DON’T YOU DARE sell your soul to some big company so you can retire at 40! lol

Keep up the good work Mr Kramer

You are the man Andrew and of course welcome Sergio.
I wish you all God Jul och Gott Nytt År
(merry christmas and a happy new year in swedish)

Hey guys, thanks for all the great resources you’ve provided us with. I’m really excited to check out the new plug!

Welcome Sergio! I look forward to seeing what new artistry you bring to the awesome team at Video-Copilot! Best to you!!!

welcome along Sergio!

welcome sergio, i hope things mesh well togehter with the team.

Keep up the fantastic work.

Hello to Sergio, The VC Team is second to none, Good luck and Now get cracking on those programs. Did that sound too Bossy? anyway, welcome to the VC World.

I think the most shocking thing about this announcement is that only NOW are they bringing an actual programmer on board. When you consider the quality and ease of use of the plugins they have released so far (Twitch, Sure Target, Twister, etc.), it is positively mindboggling that these were done in-house but without a full-time pro programmer. Frankly, I think the software Andrew releases is among the very best out there for AE so I can only imagine what the future will bring with Sergio at the table.

Top that off with the fact that they give these plugins away for free half the time and…well, it’s no wonder we all keep coming back. Much like the person that emailed in today regarding the 3D graph technique, I suspect many, many of us have projects that were either greatly improved by what we’ve learned here, or maybe wouldn’t have been possible at all.

VC just went from my personal favorite post-production site for tools and knowledge to a major contender for the industry standard as far as I’m concerned (if it wasn’t already).

So welcome, Sergio. Thank you, Andrew (as always). And keep up the amazing work.

Full Metal Sergio… awsome guys, this is gonna be the Shiaddd..

BG

DAMG

Hola Sergio, apuesto a que eres español, no?
Anyway, I hope that you and Andrew build up great things together !

By the way ANDREW, when we VC resume shipment to Nigeria?

Congratulations sergio! I have a feeling you will do amazing!

Hey, I just received and email from Red Giant announcing their Knoll 3D Flare Beta. Interesting…

After watching the Knoll 3D demo video I don’t think VC has much to worry about. The Red version looks very limiting, Video Copilot version looks like the way to go.

Yeah… interesting timing on them putting out their beta though… looks like VC is doing something right eh?

I’m still waiting for the VC lens flares… but… hurry up bishes!! =)

-D

Is Sergio from Brazil?

If so, I’m gonna feel like family!

Welcome Sérgio! Ou bem vindo, como preferir!

Looks like you’re going after Knoll Light Factory and Genart a little, huh? This is major! Go for it.

Hah! Knoll tries to beat you with their Knoll 3D Lens Flares.

Welcome Sergio.
Click for the fences.

Welcome Sergio,
a bit late but better then never..

For all of you guys a VC – have a GREAT christmas time and I cant wait to watch some more Tutorial and spend some time in doing Vfx.

Cheers from Germany!

I would like to welcome Sergio to the Video Copilot family!
(I’m not part of it though)
Anyway, to the people under the success of Video Copilot, thank you so much!

God bless your unselfish knowledge.

I have my PayPal account ready and waiting for this plug-in… when?
