Woooow, more than the tutorial, The upcoming bullet product picked my interest, looks like is going to be awesome, previewing a bit of the "old matrix" bullet time there... nice VCP team
by Jay 05/07/2008
I have a question - I was wondering if there is ever a downfall to working in 32bpc? Everything that can be done in 8bpc can be done in 32bpc, but you have a ton more possibilities in 32bpc... I feel like I'm missing something here and that AE should just default to 32bpc.

By the way, cool stuff as always!
by hamdanii 05/07/2008
helo andrew!

nice tutorial..really thankss for all your tutorial here..really usefull!!...

p/s: do anyone know where to download the cc particle world preset?......i know one site, but its for demo@trial..so its have a mark on your composition... http://www.cycorefx.com/downloads.php

by planbmultimedia 05/08/2008
Dear Mr. Kramer,

With this comment, we would like to officialy complain about your unsporty behaviour towards our client, Mr. PlanB Multimedia.
We learned that you quit games of internet checkers early, thus avoiding the inevitable defeat and denying our client of his well earned testosterone injection, brought in by the rush of victory.

Herewith we would like you to urge, to reconsider your game acumen and show somne fair-play.

Kindest Regards

Sue, Grabbam & Run

by Darby Edelen 05/08/2008
"I was wondering if there is ever a downfall to working in 32bpc? Everything that can be done in 8bpc can be done in 32bpc"

Yes there is, increased render times and lack of support for a wide array of plug-ins. Note that the plug-in that Andrew uses for the particles is not 32bpc aware. You can work around these issues by pushing values into overbrights using a 32bpc capable effect like levels or exposure but you're not really expanding the range of values produced by the effect... just pushing it above white. This technique will not work for every 8bpc/16bpc effect.

However, I would say that 32bpc is essential for serious color grading, film work, 3D renders and achieving naturalistic light effects (in combination with linear blending).

Keep up on short cut because they are more attractin' and time consumin' and I'm sure you can cut the bull's eyes , So that we can get the main tip in a shorter time.

Hey Andrew, great to see your going to do some tutorials in blender. ive been recreating some of your 3d max, C4D tutorials in blender. it will be great to see how you use Blender.

by Tim 05/09/2008
I had one quick question, when you are working in the color pallet selecting the "super bright colors", how do you switch the values of the R G B channels, (for instance mine say all white is 255,255,255 instead of 1,1,1) so when i go to make your adjustments i only get a dark black. It has to be just a setting right?
Thanks

@Tim: Have you set your project settings correctly? Are you working in 32bpc? I suggest you read the AE help for some insight:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/8.0/WS2AAFE7C0-B669-4d4f-B0EC-2A287AB50DDE.html

That entire page is valuable.

@Freddie: It sounds like you don't have AE CS3. Per-character 3D was a new feature in CS3.

Sorry to be a noob but can anybody tell me how to export a file with 32 bit color as say a quicktime and still retain your ultra-bright colors. Whenever I export a project like the one above all I get is ultra-bright greys...which just look like normal greys... Any help would be awesome.

by iori_zhm 05/13/2008
Hi Andrew! I hope u can notice my comment and reply it!
Because I'm here to discuss some technical issue!

I've noticed that you hide some tricks in this tutorial. I mean the result is shown in the preview of "here's what we're going to be creating" but not shown in the tutorial.
I think the reason may be lack of time since it's a short-cuts or u just leave it for us to explore and experiment!

the little tricks are turning on carema's Depth of Field to make the scene realistic and blurring the text a bit to give it a yellow glow.

BUT there're BIG tricks.

For example you make letter "e" in the word ".net"
so close to the camera and just in the middle of the frame when it passes by,
(shown here: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm170/kevin1649/910aaaac.jpg it's under 20KB)
and "e" is relatively bigger than "t"(in "copilot") or "." which really brightens the scene and make it so sharp.
Also when this "e" comes to its final position, it's NOT in the center of the frame. in fact it has quite a bit offset.
Through experimenting I find that changing the camera's position and rotation a little will achieve this.It's so slight that we can't even notice but it makes the characters' moving path totally different.
Also the character is rotating around x, not y or z which are shown in the tutorial. so another animator has to be added to move up the anchor point.
BUT that's not enough! Setting the offset z position to be twice the distance between camera and the text's final position can make them stay closer to x-z plane rather than like a line due to rotation.
Also I've animated the z position in range selector from -1000 to -500(camera z position is -480) to make the last few characters getting in a little slower and more elegently.

Still I find my project just doesn't look as sharp as yours, although this is not a complex one.
Is there any other trick I missed?

Here're 2 of my project's snapshot

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm170/kevin1649/9241306a.jpg

Please someone answer the question I think you will help a lot of people.

i keep watch them but they cut out the important parts of the effects how to apply them ... when we miss out the Most IMP part... whatz the use of buying that...

but when watching the Andrew Kramer tutorial... he tought us from the very begining til end without anycuts.. and it was really eaxy to understand...

They called them self they are adobe certified...yea, hey mite be... but they dnt teach nice... teaching is not everyone cup of tea...

by Lucky_rocketship 05/15/2008
Ok! figured it out. if anyone else is having trouble exporting 32bpc. you need to go to your render settings under the render queue. Under that, there should be a pulldown for color depth. change that to 32bpc and you should be good to go!

by Nick 05/15/2008
Okay, I got it finished but instead of using motion blur I used fast blur and got a quite nice effect. A problem is when I render it to a DV stream the orange color you got by using 32bpc disappeared when opening it afterwards. So I'm completely clueless for what to do. :/

by Nick 05/15/2008
Ignore my previous post. I have found a solution for the 32bpc problem.
Add the composition to a render que and use a dv preset. Then edit the color from the dv preset to 32bpc. Import to Premiere and go edit! :D

@Jewish: Why complain? You are free to change the bg to whatever coulour/texture you want, and if the effect is not to your liking you can adopt and change to heart's content. I, for one, prefer the black bg's and I'm eternally greatful to Andrew Kramer and VC for dedicating their time and effort to teaching us a few tricks of the trade.

@Lucky_rocketship....

Thank you! I had that problem as well and I was trying to troubleshoot my way through it but with no success. I even tried exporting it as an image sequence because Adobe Help said that PSD and TIFF images supported 32 bpc and figured it was worth a try. I probably would have never figured it out because I never use the Render Queue. I just always go, File>Export. So, my thanks to you. Nice job.

Awesome tutorial Andrew! You rock!

When I render the project the glow is gone...why?
by hamid v 05/22/2008
very nice
by Matthijs 05/23/2008
export via the render queue to solve the problem with disapearing glow:

Ok! figured it out. if anyone else is having trouble exporting 32bpc. you need to go to your render settings under the render queue. Under that, there should be a pulldown for color depth. change that to 32bpc and you should be good to go!

Probably the most fun and educational tutorials on AE! Nice one.
I know it's boring but… putting together expressions… "change size when a certain position has been reached…" any ideas?

And why has CS3 made it harder to "Go to Time"?! Are they not thinking about people with less than 3 hands?

Annoying.

by Alexander 06/03/2008
To get CC Particle world and all other CC effects like CC Sphere, CC Rain, CC Radial Blur etc. Just Download Cycore FX, just google it.
And to reduce the size when you render try using a different file format.

Hello from Israel,
Great tutorials. You are a cool bloke.

Hey, why wont you use the surfers traffic on your web site for another revenue option. Im sure you can create some affiliate contacts or sell ad space, without killing the clean and professional look of your site.

Just find your way to cash on all the hard work you're doing, while still selling great products.

You deserve it, mate. You make me learn creation, think of stories to tell and scare the hell out of my wife when laughing randomly into my earphones (you and Mr Loya are too funny. He looks like a type cast of Karl from the ricky gervais show)

Alright here is a Solution for 32 Bit Exportng Colour Problem


1st dont Export if u want BRIGHT YELLOW COLOUR

go to Render Setting Pael and add all the files that are in the PRoject to the panel then set the Rendering values

Remember to set 32 Bit chanel and in Colour Management set PRERSERVE RGB

then go to Coposition Menu and select PRERENDER show the file location

come back to Render panel and press RENDER BUTTON

here u go with FULL BRIGHT YELLOW COLOURS

Great stuff!

However, I have After Effects 7; when I go to the add animation for the position, there isn't an "Enable Per-character 3D" selection in the animate window on the timeline.

So how would I animate each individual character in 3D when the graphic rotates and comes in from in front of the camera/screen?

After Effects 7? Thanks...Aaron

But I have a problem with my program after effects cs3. When I create a text layer, my anchor point is very far, not in the center of my layer. I'm oblige to replace the anchor point all the time, and I loose a lot of time.

Can you tell me how can I put the anchor point in the center of the text layer by default ?

I watched the tutorial, It was very good. But the problem is am unable to get the motion blur for the particles even after turning it ON in Options of CC Particles World. Am unable to view blur for particles both in preview and rendered output. Though Motion blur works well in Text Layer. I have AE CS3. Plz help me out.

Hi there! I tried this tutorial (first time after effects), and it works like a charm! But: the particales give a strange blue beamy cross over my entire movie. I can give you a printscreen if needed. The cross comes from the particales, because when I hide that layer, the cross dissapears. Any help?

Hi Andrew...
Well, thank you for the guide...
But I have a little problem. My computer doesn't respond like yours. I mean with the RGB part (sorry for my bad English).
When I go to white color, It is:
R= 255
B= 255
B= 255
How can I fix it?

you're the man, very good teacher, im thinking forward to buy your DVD's they very useful :D but first i want to get familiar with AE by making you tutorials. In this one im having some issues, when you're going to the simulation part you select CC particles (i dont remember the exact name) but i dont have those options, i have no options for CC, is that a plug-in? how can i get those effects?
please help
thanks

Thanks Andrew for the great tutorial

and thanks

Lucky_rocketship 05/15/2008 for your solution to only getting bright whites.

"Ok! figured it out. if anyone else is having trouble exporting 32bpc. you need to go to your render settings under the render queue. Under that, there should be a pulldown for color depth. change that to 32bpc and you should be good to go!"

worked a treat as anyone who was having a problem with the lack of colours were not using the render queue, they, like me were using the
"file > export:" quick option.
by matt 03/21/2009
Great, how do you get the CC particle world?
by Leo 03/25/2009
Ok for those of you who are having the rending/exporting issue where your text keeps coming out pure white, the way to fix it is on the top menu click on:

-Edit
-Templates
-Render Settings

Then under the settings section click on

-Edit

Locate where it says (Color Depth) and then make sure in the drop down menu that you have

-32 Bits Per Channel

Selected.

Now what you want to do next is make sure your composition is selected along with the work area you have displayed. Now on the top menu again click on:

-Composition
-Add To Render Queue

From there you'll notice the render tab is available on the bottom where your work area is located. Just click on:

-Render

and then you should be set. Now for people who notice what happens next is that AE will create a full rendered video of your text with all the colors however the output display is in the .AVI extension and the problem with that is you run into a major data file (Mine was over 80mb for just a little over 3 seconds!!!!) That's too big! What you can do from there is just take that .AVI file and put it back into AE. Then create a new composition using that .AVI file and then from there you can use your regular (Export) settings however you want to compress it into a smaller file and more compact file extension; I like using Quicktime but you can do whatever you normally use.

That should clear EVERYTHING up... If you are still experiencing problems. Email me at:

Leokahokuma@hotmail.com

-Cheers!
