I never understand why just 2-d screens can be converted into 3d spaces. Is that something the technology based on motion-tracking? Or just placing track point?

Can you make a tutorial on how to make the mockingly symbol from Hunger Games? I'm not sure if that's all in After Effects, so let me know.

Great tutorial btw!

Hey, great tutorial ! I'm following it step by step, but i've tried it a few time, but when i get to the light source, whenever i put it in a 3D layer, i don't get a 3D sphere like your do. Any esplainations on that ?

Thanks !

Hi Queymon, first you have to right click on the layer-transform-auto orient-orient toward camera. And then turn off "accept light" in the material option.

right in the beginning of this tutorial i get stuck .

when i click stabalise motion it does not let me set track points or anything . it shows the message "analising background" in the middle of my comp and it tries to scan the entire comp .

also if i shrink the comp down the the area i wanted to work with and let it stabalise motion it only makes the motion worse instead of less

After you make the first track your video will move around the comp, giving the illusion that the image is still, so that you can play around with the effects and make them look as they belong to the shot. If you want a still shot you can just simply scale the bg footage until you stop seeing the black around the video, but for the video to look like the original (which is filmed by hand and not with a tripod) you need to make that still shot move again, so the movement that was created to balance the video will be inverted along with the effects (that's why it's applied to the composition and not the video only)to go back to the original camera shakyness.

Andrew, thank you for every awesome tutorial that you've created for us! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world and making it possible for us to continue our passion in visual effects.
Now, I do have one question regarding this 3D Light Casting tutorial. I'm working with Adobe After Effects CS6, and when you tell us to Toggle the Switches for the (Ground Plane) it doesn't give me the option to use the (Classic Color Dodge), or (Luma Matte). The only time it gives me the option to make those changes is when I remove the (3D Layer - Allows this layer to be manipulated in 3 dimensions). Only then I'm able to us the (Classic Color Dodge) and (Luma Matte). Please help, your knowledge is very valuable to me.

My TV/Video class is doing VCP tuts for an assignment, and the 3D Layer thing for this won't show up. More specifically, the color arrows won't show.

Using an iMac, if that makes any difference.

If you want your energy ball more visible, you can get a free plugin called unmult and just change the tail y orientation to 10 at the beginning of the video!

Tomi

Lux comes as a plug-in that you have to buy. The plugin is called "Trapcode". If you already have this plugin, just go to the effect tab on the AE interface and click "Trapcode", then click "Lux"

Hi everyone!
I was trying to follow this tutorial, but I have AE CS5.5, here the tracker works very different, in fact, it does the tracking automatically, and no longer affects position or anchor point, now it adds kind of a new effect layer, so, I couldn't make the reverse tracking... =/
any ideas?

Hey I'm about half way through the video. And I am a noob, but I must say, that you should include a pulsating effect on the larger "aura" of the center, it added more of a feeling of energy to it in my opinion. I am really loving these keep it up.

Really fantastic tutorial, Im currently trying the 30 day trial of CS 4, and I actually worked the whole night yesterday on completing this tutorial.And I already feel like ive learned alot about AE. Unfortunatly... When Im nearly 95% done with the movie, and you want me to take the Street Footage Comb and drop onto a new comb. My AE just freezes up, and if I click anywhere with my mouse it says (Client is not responding) and the only way out is Ctrl+Alt+Delete :/ Also if I just try to render without doing the last step to reverse the motion, it just freezes up. I guess my Computer is just too weak to run with the full power of AE :/

Im running Windows XP SP 3 on Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GHz, 2.53 GHz, 2,00 GB RAM with a NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1024 MB DDR2. With newest drivers ofc. I really wanna work with AE, so I will prolly find myself next to a computer store soon, if I dont figure out why the program keeps freezing for me when working with the "serious" animations, as in theese tutorials
Wilson

I think 2G Ram is the problem on your computer.
Cos, 1.5G memory will use for the background.
(AE set it at default and can't be change more low).

That’s a Rembrandt

Here is a shocker; that looks like my street in Manhattan – 13 Street and University Place
Light (your light) goes down University Place, where it starts is corner with 13 Street and further up one block is Union Square, further down is NYU. Those streets never sleep, safe place thought
Andrew, it’s amazing how your mind works – the perception of details is phenomenal
I try to follow with Adobe CS5 and often settings are different from your CS3 but that won't stop me

Thank you for sharing your talent

Andrew,
I have always wanted to know how 3D, special effects and all that were done. I have learned so much just by watching your tutorials in 2 weeks. Now I am using After Effects for different projects plus, I will be going back to college to learn this stuff even more. There is one thing though. Do you know of any tutorials that teach how to write your name/signature using trapcode particular?
Bluematter
14 years ago
I don't remember where (i googled it) but I learned how to do light streaks very similar to long exposure light painting with a camera. You can use that to write your signature. There's also a tutorial on here on how to stroke something using lights so maybe that could help.

Amazing tutorial, i really like the result! The only thing i've noticed is one effect thats' missing at the end of your tutorial. As i've seen in the preview movie, there's a kind of littel distortion behind the light streak when the energy ball flyes towards the camera. The source footage becomes a little bit distorted. How've you done that!

Hey all,
In response to the turbulence field that Andrew didn't put into the tutorial, Here's how I got it to work:

- Duplicate the "tail" particles.
- Duplicate the footage
- Move the duplicated particles layer just above the footage.
- Set the matte of the footage to "Luma".
- On the footage layer: Effect>Distort>Turbulent displace.

The particle stream becomes a mask for the turbulence layer. Increase the size of the particles in the particle layer, which will increase the size of the mask you have just created. Mess with the particle settings as well as the turbulent displace settings, and Voila..

When I set the "Light Source" layer to 3D, it dissapears... if I move it back on z space it reappears, but if I move it forward again it fades away... if I switch the "Light 1" layer off, it doesn't do that, but it'll turn everything along the grid plane black

Hey Andrew, how did you get the air turbulence to follow the plasma ball through the project like that? Is shows up beautifully in your demo video but you didn't post it in your tutorial. Just curious how that was done.

Here is an example
http://www.rawbot.se/index.html
I know that its difficult but you never know...

I was watching this video http://www.beam.tv/beamreel/xzPKHmqtYD and I noticed a fabulus animation in the second 48,49 and 50 its very short animation, i suspect its a trapcode effect... well if you have time I would love to show us how

sorry for my english... I speak spanish

AK,
maybe i'm wrong but in your video it looks as if there is a trail of broken wind, similar to how it appears that "The Bullet" is breaking wind as it travails through air only in this case it follows the light streak. i could be totally wrong but in you're tutorial it appears you left that out. i would love to learn how to add this.

Hi Andrew, your tutorials are amazing and simple. I crack up sometimes when you start talking about random movies.

I'm a photographer and music producer and I've just realised that motion graphics and cinematography blend both my passions together in one. I've gotten so much drive and inspiration from your tutorials.

I haven't slept for 36 hours cause instead of sleeping I do as many tutorials as I can until I know all of them. Can't wait for more. Optical Flares, freaking amazing man.

Keep up the good work.

Andrew Kramer, I salute you. Your tutorials are just so amazing and your humor is unbeatable.
I am just curious that where do you get those genious ideas? I mean have you studied AE for a long long time or how do you manage to set up those amazing things?
Anyway I hope that you will be able to make a bunch of more tutorials in the future because you really are the chosen one for this job.

PS: Could you think about making an AE tutorial based on golf somehow? Maby a powerfull drive, bunker shot or something like that. But that is just a proposal, nothing fancy.

And for everyone: I apologize my english skills

I do not have after effects to try all your tutorials but I downloaded the trial version but it has now expired.

Do you need to create the ground plane in order to have the light cast on the ground footage? Does it cast the light the original footage if you do not create the ground plane?

Hey Andrew, great tutorials, but you knew that already, didnt you? Anyways, first of all, thanks for all the free stuff.

It's probably asking for too much, but I think that if you were to display subtitles, showing the steps, kind of like cornell style notes, it would make remembering the steps easier. That way you could keep track of the steps, and the changes you make as you go along. Anyways, thats my 3 cents.

Hi Andrew and team,

I've been following your work for quite a little while now and I've gotta break my silence by saying that good things just keep on getting better.

The quality of both your products and tuts is, well, the best I've seen ANYWHERE by a HUGE MARGIN. AE is without doubt a complex and staggeringly brilliant product but difficult to master for most of us who are either time poor or too afraid or inept to wildly experiment. And that's where your tuts really get us on the fast track - learning the short cuts and skills in double quick time but never compromising on the quality of the final comp.

Under your tutelage, and using my own creativity, I've managed to both deepen and widen my abilities and confidence beyond recognition and this has really helped me stand out (in a very good way) in my work. You are building a formidable body of work here - quality oozes out of every corner of the site and you guys (that's Andrew and the WHOLE VC TEAM) are to be congratulated on what you are achieving.

I have the feeling that you're going to continue to pull out all the stops and the journey of discovery we're all on is only going to become even more fascinating and enlightening in the weeks and months ahead,

Best, Steve UK

Took the basics from this one and turned it into a portal from another dimension. I had intended the foreground distortion to look like heat waves. Bah. At least it was just a test render.

Yea, I'm also on an earlier verion of Particular, v1.5. If you change the velocity really close to 0, the particles are emitted in line form, which produces an effect close to what the amazing Mr. Kramer is doing.

---Great Tutorial!
This is the 6th that I'm following so far, and it sure wont be the last!

Awesome tutorial...I was curious how you might create the gas effect comming off of the light effect. You can see it in the preview, but I didn't see how its created in the tutorial. Since I'm number 245 on the comments, Im not sure if you will see this...but I thought I would ask

Hi Andrew !

It's great tutorial. I'm from Poland and I'm really like you're stuff. I had a question to you. Well, I like Harry Potter movies and i have a question. How to do a " LUMOS " Effect. It's a great FX because the light is so realistic and nice pulsaring. I think a lot about it, and i try to do this effect but It's not good . Harry Potter have a great FX. I'm waiting when you do some tutorials for HP stuff.

Greetings from Poland, Damian !

I am going through all your tutorials sequentially just watching them, when I am done, I will be going through the motions with you. This one looks fantastic, can't wait to create it on my PC.

I'm so pleased you are giving your valuable time to take care of the little people. Keep up the good work, looking forward to future tutorials.

Hi Andrew!

Thanks again. Great tutorial!

I also was wondering how did you build up that distortion behind the energy source. is it same kind of technique which we saw on tutorial number 78 Energy wipe? Do you use simply turbulent displace? Is that also attached somehow to that light source or is that distortion 3D at all?

Anyway Great great work!

Hey mate,
Really great tutorial! Love your work!

Just wanted to ask, I noticed in your demo as the energy ball flew by the street it distorted the background a bit, like it was affecting the street with some sort of a bulge or something... Is that right? I didn't see that covered so I wasn't sure if that's just a finishing touch you added...

Great stuff buddy!

The only AK tutorial which has only 1 funny moment otherwise this was an action packed Tutorial just like the Action 2 DVD.

One thing to appreciate is the way you show how do things with and without 3rd party plugins.

Also was wondering if we can add 1 more plane perpendicular to the ground plane and casts lights on the car's nearby to increase the realism. Maybe you want us to try that out !!

Thankx AK.

I like your style and the way you speak (my english is not very good but i understand all what you say !)
I'm a wedding filmmaker and videographer.
I learn After with you but i purchase advanced training in Premiere Pro and Encore (you did a great Encore tuto).

I think many videographer can pay in order to have advanced training that help them in their job...

So i'm waiting for you !

Nice tutorial, as always. I'm wondering - really as a point of theory - why it's necessary to do all that reverse tracking. Couldn't you track the original camera shake, apply it to a null and then parent the AE camera to that null (after setting it's original position and orientation)? I'm sure you thought of that and there must be some reason, but it's escaping me.

Thoughts?
