Its from the motion pulse sound pack. He said it at the end of the video.

Did you re-read this comment? XD

Thanks for reply

I worked through the tutorial and saved the project in CS6 format. If you still need it give me a shout!

how do you get to cs6 format it would be greatly appreacted

yosh I need the project in CS6 format,someone help me

Hey Kevin can you share the cs6 version please?

must be amazing

Mr. AK.You specialties, all xxxx.aep file after effect, it is not possible to create a program of study?

Nice man!

on vacation with Andrew

There should be an update available in your CC app. Update AE and you'll have the new interface.

@Noah Shreve Really??Thanks.

@Noah Shreve I have updated version and still i can't change the color of text to Blue

Second to that!

That is just how it looks in the newest updates of CC 2014.

My god, I didn?t like curves, I liked levels. Save me!

Good point. That is really surprising. He must be recovering form the flu. Im a levels man myself. More precise.

sorry this is second link

Hi,

thanks for the Projectdemos / Basedemos, but i can not open them with CS6..

No problem Andy. I'll check on that. They are easy to recreate with the grid, backgound and aspect matte assets. If I can't get em to open in cs6 I'll post a video on setting them up.

I agree with Paceworks

King of the hill in the motion graphics industry of not, the timing of this video sucks! I?ll be the bad guy and say what everyone else is thinking including the ones who already posted their concerns below.

Last month VC released their biggest product to date with next to zero tutorials. Yes other VC followers want to jump all over me for saying this but I?m only saying what they are thinking. E3D V2 tuts are long past due. The product has been out over a month and the new tools that dedicated followers have paid a small fortune for deserve to be shown its hidden tricks.

Those who want to jump all over me about my hand being held can back off. V2 is supposed to be a massive upgrade from V1 and knowing V1 shouldn?t make a blind bit of difference. VC themselves acknowledge V1 projects probably wont work in V2 which means V2 is a whole new Pandora?s box.
This tut is a slap in the face to all the dedicated followers around the world who purchased V2 on December 2nd 2014. Christmas is over, new year is over. Its 2015?..from one of your biggest fans?? you are slipping and your followers feel jaded.

90% of us feel it. I'm the bad guy to bring it up.

It's V2. How hard is it to figure out the few new functions? Do you have the same problem when After Effects releases an update?

I have to say I?m with Christian Michael on this one. So I guess we are now two "bad guys" in that regard.
I?m starting to think there are serious issues with V2 since you?re not jumping all over it with enthusiasm and spewing out tuts on all its many new features, but spend time on spinning polygons instead.
Like Christian I am also a huge VCP fan - and even I don?t get why you seem to be avoiding V2 like the plague.
At least COMMUNICATE.

Andrew is no doubt working on new tutorials for E3D2, but let's not forget there's already the 30 minute walk-through video which briefly demonstrates the new features (enough that a V1 user could easily see how to use them), plus the online help file which explains how every feature in V2 works, so all the information is already out there.

Personally, I've upgraded to V2 and found the new features very intuitive to figure out. (And the V1 projects I've opened so far have been fine in V2)

For all we know, this polygon tutorial could have been recorded a couple of months ago and is just being put online now to bridge the gap while E3D2 tutorials are recorded.

Would you have rather they delayed the release by a couple of months in order to get loads of tutorials recorded?

As for 'spending a small fortune' - E3D is exceptionally cheap for what it does. (3D Invigorator Pro is the only viable alternative and costs twice as much).

I really don't see the point in moaning/nagging about new tutorials, just dive in and experiment and you'll have it figured out in no time.

Ack! Didn't mean to start a dust-up, sorry. I think I need to jump to the defense of VC by alerting those who may not know that there are extensive Help Files for V2 on the VC forum. Though not tutorials, they certainly will answer many questions you might have.

C'mon guys. It's not that hard to get Element V2 up and running. There's already some 3rd party tutorials around (quality might vary) and what's wrong with playing around and finding out stuff. It's the same with V1. There were always more possibilities than what was coverered in the tutorials. You got the help files and a comminity forum so that should go a long way to find your ways in Element V2.

To be honest, at first I thought it was a joke. Then I watched the video and realized it wasn't a joke. Now I just don't know what to think. Color me confused...but it seems inconceivable that the intention was open disdain...right?

As I was expecting, a few jumped all over this and instantly got defensive. What they are failing to see is Video Copilot set their own standard, raise their own bar which for several years they have been doing extremely well and continuously improving, BUT on this massive release of their biggest product yet, they drop their own ball. We didn?t set the VC standard, they did.

If you scroll through the comments of not just this post, but all the last posts since the release of V2 you will see there are a LOT of people asking the same thing?..Where are the tuts? Andrew even commented himself by saying
?Andrew Kramer 3 weeks ago
Just got my voice back, there will be tons of tutorials! Some this week and more to follow?

That was 3 weeks ago. THAT was 2 weeks AFTER the release. The first video released after a blog updates of V2 still shots?Animated Polygons?

I actually find it very odd this is happening or even been left so long we are having this discussion. Defensive or not, those arguing about the case of ?run with it or search the community? also know in the back of their own minds THEY want to see the tuts too, AND know its odd they aren?t already out whether they admit it or not.

The standard we have all come to love about the boys at VC on this release has seriously been lost and no matter what side of the fence you feel you want to sit on. You cant tell me you don?t see it too.

As I said above, we didn?t set the video copilot standard, the boys did it all on their merry own. This release of V2 and lack of what we have come to expect, just doesn't add up.

@christian michael: you got all you need, an updated plugin with tons of new feature, a "what's new" video and an online documentation. Everything beyond that is goodwill. Goodwill that generates lots of work, if you ever planned and executed a tutorial. Since VC got a high standard they won't simply hook up a mike and dabble around with the plugin from top of the head. Besides VC Andrew is working for Bad Robot, has a family and whatnot. I think you should take this into account before you talk about dropping balls, right?

@Klaus @Phil
I have huge respect and admiration for VCP, their products and innovations - and especially Andrew?s abilities as a communicator. I love the website and the community, and rarely a day goes by without me checking in on the site.
I like to give praise where praise is due, and likewise venting my frustrations as clients when things aren?t run in a professional fashion.
VCP claims to be "serious training" and "AE tuts, Plug-ins and Stock Footage for Post Production Professionals" - not "hobby software for people who dabble in AE". With that claim also comes responsibilities.
And remember: This is NOT an open source or free hobby product. We actually PAID for it.

I get that AK does high-profile work for JJ Abrams and works for Bad Robot etc. And I can empathize with people who like and admire AK and the VCP team for being part of the top tier of the CG community.
Maybe I?m too old or have had too many of my own hi-profile jobs and experiences to be in awe or feel "blessed" to "be allowed" to pay money for a product that didn?t work from the get-go. And in my world there?s really no difference if I paid money for a product made by George Lucas himself or Joe Schmoe.
Hence I don?t believe that AK?s status as a CG innovator somehow should make me accept that I have to "figure things out myself" when I pay money for a product - especially when that product is said to be completely new, updated, different etc than its predecessor.
A big part of creating a new product is telling people how to use it - otherwise it?s of less value IRL.

Had this been e.g. Apple who launched a product in this way, most people would have been at their throat at this time.
VCP is lucky and/or have done very well with their customers to avoid such a situation. But everything has its limits.
And as Christian Michael correctly points out; VCP set their own standards and level of expectation. We didn?t.

My experience might be different from yours, since I couldn?t even use my V2 the first 1-2 weeks after I purchased it (along with the add-ons). Several glitches and bugs had to be fixed for the product to even work.
This made me waste a lot of time reinstalling the old version and having all sorts of technical issues from that - and on top of that a displeased client that I (naively, I admit) thought I could deliver a V2 generated video to. Not exactly a life and death scenario, but none the less something I rather would have avoided.
VCP support truly did what they could to fix the issues and ended up succeeding eventually - but communication during that period was not exactly stellar. Instead we got a few post from Andrew plugging the many amazing features in the product - a product that some of us couldn?t even open.
I don?t like to effectively pay money up front for a product that I can?t even use OOTB, so when Phil asked me if we?d rather have waited with the launch so everything was fixed and tuts were in place, my answer is an unequivocal YES!

When AK uploads a spinning polygon tut, it sends a very bad signal to me, and those with similar experience:
"Well, we promised relevant tuts for our flagship product a few weeks back, but let?s ignore that and make another unrelated tut. No need to give our clients any update on the tuts or tell them what?s going on".
I don?t understand the reasons for the radio silence we get from VCP right now: Does V2 have serious issues?
Has VCP done the math and decided not to care about a few clients who make a little noise? Or have they suddenly become inept at communicating openly, honestly and directly? Surely the 30 seconds it takes to make a post telling us what?s going on is not the issue here.
A bit of transparency - and all of this could have been easily avoided.

It baffles my mind why some people in here feel OK with paying money for a product, get promised follow-up tuts to help make use of said product, hear no update on these tuts - and then thankfully clap their hands when they get handed an unrelated tut on polygons.
If I did something similar to one of my clients, they definitely wouldn?t be my client for much longer - and they certainly wouldn?t suck my kneecaps.
And I also get sick, have friends, family, duties and things to do besides work - and in the world I live in, this matters precious little to my clients. I have a hard time comprehending why this wouldn?t apply to VCP, too.

Lasse,

It appears most people here are here as hobbyist. Not here because they are doing it for a living like you and I. I have to be honest I got 5 minutes into the polygon tutorial and turned it off. I had zero interest in it and as I said before. Felt jaded and cheated. And I don?t know about you but at this point, I wont be running clapping when the tut does role out?if it ever does.

@ klaus, phil and fa,
WE didn?t put VC in this arena. They did. The second you create a product and expect the world to buy it you have a moral obligation never to go backwards. Only forwards with your communication and professionalism. Having a family and working for bad robot, Spielberg and being a spokesperson for Adobe is more of a reason to not drop the ball. You wanna run with the big guys?..you gotta do the work to stay there. Its now even more important to them to follow through with what they said they were going to do. Remember we didn?t ask, VC said they were doing tuts THEN 5 weeks on all the community hears is crickets.

Heck even with the Death of Fast and the Furious biggest stars (god rest his soul) the show goes on and they STILL had to finish the movie. Business is business. VC are in deed in business and providing products and services family or not. Every business person in the world has family and you use the excuse of having family for too long, that?s all you will be looking at as clients go elsewhere.

Now?..I?m going to work, and you bet your arse I give the client what I said I would give, and what they requested. I won?t be delivering a video that is completely irrelevant to what they paid for and say ? well it still looks cool although your branding is red with flames, I thought blue and ice would work just as well? If I did that, I would do it only once with that client.

The thing that's funny to me about people complaining about the lateness of the tuts and saying that VC set their own standard....is that VC being late with tuts is kind of the standard they set! In the last 3-4 years the frequency and timeliness of tuts has taken a huge hit as AK's gotten busier with industry work, which he's come online to point out himself.

I definitely get dissatisfaction with a product being buggy on launch, but I also think that's inevitable with products because their are INFINITE configurations for hardware out there. For a small company especially, bug testing must be a never-ending grind. It's a pretty widely accepted general rule - never rely on a new product launch to pull of a job. E1 doesn't take up a whole lot of space, there's really no excuse to uninstall in then complain that the brand new version had bugs and made you upset a client. That's like complaining you lost a job to a hard drive failure cause you didn't have a backup. It's the same reason Adobe doesn't replace old iterations with the new - always have a backup plan in the world of computers.

I admit I am surprised by no new tuts for E2, but at the same time I'm really not. Bug fixes aside, it's a perfectly capable product OOTB and honestly you shouldn't need tuts to be able to use any of its features right now. Much of the basics are already covered in E1 tuts and the new stuff is pretty thoroughly explored in the two demo videos.

Tuts at this point will be more to show creative ways to take advantage of new features, not explain the basics. Those kind of tuts are a fan service, not a right. I don't think anyone has legitimate reason to complain about E2.

@ Jeremy;
People seem to be in one of two groups on this:
Either "VCP is a small boutique and we don?t?set the same standards for them as we would the big players - besides, we like and admire Andrew and the products, and so we are tolerant and just smile when and if we get something from VCP".
Or "VCP is a professional company charging money for their products, and even though we like and admire AK and VCP, we expect them to deliver as promised like we would any other company".

The interesting thing is, that VCP have put themselves in the latter group - and THEY (not me, not anyone else who are complaining now) have come up with the idea of follow-up tuts. Andrew himself did that.
Nor did WE demand tuts within X amount of time after the launch. Andrew himself came up with a promise on that.

I get the psychological effect of cutting people you find sympathetic much more slack than you would someone you don?t know or don?t like.
And perhaps I am not VCP knowledgable enough to know that they have previously been less than dependable (according to you).
So maybe I have simply bought a professional product from a hobby company.
And yes - you are right. I should never have depended on the first version of a piece of software. That was dumb, regardless of where it came from.
THB I expected bugs, but not that the product didn?t work at all.

OK; enough of this. I?m spending more time on this thread than VCP is on making tuts (or even replying to any of this).
Oh, the irony

@Lasse: I guess you're on a mac and refer to the FirePro bug. According to the changelog this was fixed with v2.0.1 on December 3rd, 2014 (yes, one day after release) with many updates and fixes following tightly.
Knowing that this would be a massive update and that there could be bugs it was quite blue-eyed to think you could or should use it for some just-in-time job and makes you look less professional that you claim to be.

Now read the product page of Element V2. I can't find "comes with 100 hours of training videos" in the features list. Do you? Yes, Andrew said there will be tutorials and I'm sure there will be tutorials. Will it be the step by step training you seem to need to bad? We can't know. Might be some highly specific stuff or some general advice like "monitor your GPU's RAM in order not to be surprised by a crash ". So there's no way of telling if this will be good enough for you or even Christian.

So far you purchased an excellent product including a "what's new" roundup with online and offline (PDF) documentation at a price that is quite hillarious. Compare this to other plugins and we can end this discussion right there. I don't know what big players you are refering to but I know of more expensive plugins with less support and I value updates and patches more than tutorials.

Do you flame Peder Norrby for not making enough Particular tutorials or do you just youtube for the stuff you need? Guess what, there's lots of stuff out there already. Well, it's not from the man himself but is it less helpfull? Yeah they might be not official but let me tell you something about official. Maybe you know Josh Burns who did awesome stuff in Element V1 with stationary and animated masks and was one of the first to provide tutorials on how to overcome the autoscaling so you can do a propper layout. I'm sure Andrew could come up with awesome animated mask stuf too but he probably wouldn't since animated masks are not supported in Element and require great portions of TLC not to produce unwanted artefacts. Maybe you don't know that there have been one-button shadow and reflection solutions for Element V1 and several ways to make it interact with other 3d plugins. Wasn't official either but made a lot of peoples life a lot of easier.

So what I'm trying to say is that neither you should ride on principles like "but Andrew said he will make tutorials and he still didn't" nor should you rely on them because you might miss some unofficial diamonds.

P.S. Why not ask in the forum. A lot of issues got solved there.

@ Klaus,
Thanks for the tips I HAVE looked or other tuts and not found any useful ones yet. Particularly ones on shadows, reflections and using the backlight pack would be more than welcome. If there was a Phlearn for VCP products I?d definitely sign up for that.

My issue was not the Firepro. I?m on a Hackintosh with a GTX780. Not really sure what the problem was, but I was not alone with it. Got fixed later in the process/timeline.
And again: Yes, as I said it was stupid of me to rely on a new product/update.
I still think it?s sad if we as clients of software (and the like) have to accept paying for half-baked products and not really rely on what the companies we buy from tell us or promise us. Imagine buying an advanced car, an espresso machine or a new furnace for the house and having to wait for it to work properly - and then having to rely on OTHER companies than the one we purchased from to give us in-depth info on how to use the product.
Makes little sense to me.
OTOH It seems to be how things work with many virtual products and services. Sadly.

I have to say that you kids needs to pick up your books and start learning yourself and working out how to do thinks in after effects. YES you have bought a great plugin for after effects, does that mean he need to come over and hold your hand and teach it you? Andrew and his team have made some great tutorials for Elements 3D which have a lot of tips and ideas for you to be able to create whatever you want. They have done a lot of work already by creating V2 Element 3d and if you cant wait for his tutorials to come out then im afraid you will struggle in the future. When they bring out a new update for MAYA or C4D do they bring out straight away new tutorials on how to build things? NOO other people sit and work it out. I think all of the people who are crying above need to take a break and cool off! Or maybe create a tutorial yourself and see how easy it is!

This tut is a slap in the face? A small fortune? Here's an idea, go buy C4D for 4K. Have a little respect man, does someone cut your steak into little cubes too or did you figure that one out all by yourself?

Who cuts my Steak I here you ask Tony? Your Momma! Now before you get all defensive and rude, close your mouth and open your eyes and mind. Scroll up through the rest of the conversation to see what the adults are talking about and what's really going on. Or is joined up reading to mature for you?

and an angry little troll you are...Have a nice day Christian Michael.

Do YOU make tutorials? This video was well done and I'd like to see how you did some of that!
