At 25:55, you could leave that in as an easy vignette.
Just a thought.

Nice TUTS!!! but I have a feeling you are going to make a movie one day about underground robots that destroy people and make craters....

Awesome tutorials! I just was wondering if you could apply the disintegration fx to a cc film burn. For example, a piece of paper burning from the cc burn film transition effect (mainly the random seed points that spawn), so that it would look like the paper is burning realistically instead of left to right.

Hey,

great Tut. the only "problem" I encounter is when I, instead of granate, use text or some PSD file. Then the "Hot Stuff" layer doesnt work. Any idea how to fix this?
Tnx.

Overall great tutorial. Next time could you make sure the files are the same and all intact in the project zip file? The background isn't included and the video of same is a different size and resolution, so there was a lot of time spent making things match.

Hi there.. I'm busy making backgrounds Theatre production we're holding. I need to slow this transition down to about 15seconds so that it can fit with the scene. Basically someone pushes heaven off the stage and it all turns to hell. When I slow it down by extending the time of my comps it doesn't have the same effect.

Does anyone have any suggestions? It needs to take longer and still look real. its a tough one for me..

I am frustrated. I followed the video to the smallest detail, every setting, every expression, every title change, even every example process that he later deleted as a joke. Everything. Yet, once I get to the creation of the second disintegrate comp, *nothing* is even close to what he is doing now.

Tried it a third time, using a different browser--sure enough, a crucial step (that my other browser could not see) appeared (and the "transition disappeared), and I got the colored flame disintegration effect. Wonderful tutorial. Thanks

Using After Effects CS6--Same problem as Tru; followed to the smallest detail, even wrote them down, step by step all the way to the end result--and the result was: no flame. lots of blur and distortion and tinting of entire image. Tried it a second time, followed the tutorial again step by step and in the early part of the video I notice there is a divergence between what he shows on the video vs my production: no color, it stays black and white-- I notice there is a transition in this tutorial, 1/4 of the way through, which leads me to suspect that something was cut or left out of the final tutorial.
Or, CS6 is just too different from the version used in this tutorial.

I get an error when I do the expressions for transform.

After Effects warning: Expected: ]
Expression disabled.

Error occurred at line 2.
Comp:'TEXTURE COMP 2'
Layer: 1 ('Displacement')
Property: 'Position'

Here's what I have in my expression
value+[effect("Displacement Map")("Max Horizontal Displacement"),effect("Displacement Map")("Max Vertical Displacement")

From what I can see, looks like you forgot to close your expression with an ] bracket, as well as a ; at the end to complete the code, not necissarily needed in this case but it makes for better coding in the long run. Hope this is all that was wrong.

I'm confused, am I going to have to do this every time I want this effect? I'm not sure what/if I should precompose so I can save it as a preset.

I had that problem, you have to close the expression with "]"
