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 !
Thanks !

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

Help! Whenever I try to move the Light on the z-axis it's not lined up right and goes into the street instead of going back behind the cars where it should go. How do I fix that?!

We are using Adobe After Effects CS6 and we have been following the procedures in the video of your but got stuck at time 16:30. We made a new light layer but it is stayed Gray. How can we fix this problem? Thank you!

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!

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

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

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?

Hey Andrew!
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..

How can i export the ball of energy to a png whit transparency on the black back, i already manage to export the secuency, but comes on black baground, my guess is has to be for the solid objects on th example.

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

For comment below:
I suggest you get a nice texture, use the CC Sphere effect, add a light, and apply your text to the sphere. Voilà !

Someone else mentioned this, but i too noticed the air turbulence in your demo vid but not in the tutorial. Do you have a tut that explains it.
you are the best teacher of all the tutorials out there. Thank you soooooooo much.

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 am going through your tutorials in my head

Hi Andrew!
This is one of the most awesome tutorials! I liked so much and I think I will use it to make some FX on my next project.
I've learned a lot watching at your tutorials, they're just great and now I'm doing some some big corporations as ConAgra Foods Mexico.

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

ps thanks for showing us how to work around not having the trapcode plug-ins. someday...

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!

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.

I've learned all my AE stuff from Total Training, but man your tutorials are really way advanced. Thanks for putting up this site, it really inspired and revitalized my AE stuff! I'm an Art Director in DDB Philippines, and I'm doing all presentation stuff with AE. Clients and the bosses are really impressed with the presentation stuff, it even helps win pitches with new accounts.
Thanks a lot Andrew!

Just recently bought CS4, hunted around looking for some good material and tutorials, there are a lot out there but none better than yours. 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.

But Mr kramer. You forgot the displacement effect. You know with fractal noise or how you did it. I was hoping to see how you managed it.
can you write a blog about it. or something?

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!
Keep it coming!

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.

Hello Andrew,
Thank you from France for your greats tuto.
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 !
Have a nice day.

One question though, I rendered the light ball, but then it was really slow on my quick time player. Is this how it will turn out in the movie?

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?
