Hello Everyone,
First of all, Great Package, just the font alone was worth the price, thank you much. The Blinding preset is coming in very handy.
I wanted to alert you about Text layers and obscuration of layer objects using the optical flares and it simply was not working.... Finally figured it out, I do not know the reason why, but a Text layer does not behave the same as a solid in this case. I tried generating outlines, or shapes from the text, but these did not work either. So finally I placed my text in a precomposed layer and used the text comp as my obscuration layer... that was the work around.

Andrew,
Any tips to how Alex made his text bend & deform in his promo video? I've been trying to figure it out in C4D

Andrew,
Great update to a fantastic product. We've been using it everyday since you released it and it certainly ads dimension to our spots.
I did notice that in the included tutorials for Pro Presets 2 you're applying Optical Flares to grey solids.....I typically use a black solid.
Any special thought process behind your use of grey?
Cheers,
Albert

Quick question, was the 3d text made in a 3rd party 3d program? Or with an AE Plugin? I'm looking for a AE plugin to create 3d text but have no idea where to start looking.

Congratulations Video Co-Pilot for making the last issue of Layers Magazine! There is a favorable review of Optical Flares near the back of the mag in the review section. ...but you already knew that I'm sure.

So, how are you doing these 3D title animation? In a 3D app? Using a plug-in? Some AE trick?

WOW. I love it. i took my breath away. but TYPOGRAPH video made my brain explode. thanks Andrew for learning me AE from basics but for most important thanks for still showing me the way i should go with the details, creativity, tempo and all that thing there is in motion graphics and vfx. you learned me for free so the only way for me to say thank you is to buy your ideal products. im so glad to do it that you wouldnt believe. its one of not so many win win situation that you created... thanks for this, for that, for everything. you learned me the way to feed my family. no more to say... Best

Glad to see this new addition! Now, can you put another tutorial up? The last one was on November 28th... quite a while ago. I miss them.
Sweet package! Not just a bunch of flares, but some wonderful royalty free title projects I could definitely make great use of in my projects.... AND a great commercial font! Thanks very much! I just might own almost every one of your products at this point! HA! Yikes!

Just got mine, I think you should do something like this for Twitch! The plug-ins are so much better than stock footage!

Hi Andrew, I don't know if it was intended. But there is a spell error in the last image about fonts. It's the word Licensed.
Thanks for all the great tools that you make available for us.
