Your tutes are really amazing and easy to understand.By the way how much do you take for 30 sec clip?? aprox? waiting for your email..
May God Bless YOU!
I love the new site and new format very very cool
WoW Free smileys too!!!? you really kick a$$
after hours of searching I found a nice solution for the following problem (I had in this tut too):
AE 7 (language A) cant import some of the Expressions wrote in language B, because AE wont translate it...
Soulution: Download the "translate Expressions" script
right here:
http://www.nabscripts.com/Downloads/downloads_en_3.php?id=6
The script is self-explaining...
By the Way: "Mad respect" for AK and his Crew!!!
andrew keep it up GOD BLESS and keep it going! im your number one fan already you are totally COOOOLL!!! GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY!
Cheers..
i love it, thanks so much for the new site, i really appreciate it. this tutorial is amazing!!! The whole thing is awesome. sorry, i know im a little late but im about to buy some product from your store and can't wait thanks!
fantastic works!!
I am pretty sure anyone can learn AE - not as an advanced user - by just gravitating around your and A. R. [your C.C. pal] tutorials.
Thanks again.
i just have a question, how could i get the particles to make a logo?, like after the audio-animation the particles go and make the mask of a logo or text or something??.... thanks alot!!!!
This audio to animation tut is great. I never thought of that, but would make a great add to the arsenal.
Keep up the great work, and great products.

Do the "Generate Audio Waveform" to a solid like Andrew talked about and then take some video and put it on top of that (in the composition). You would usually want a green-screen video so you could just take the person singing, dancing, or whatever, but you can use anything. After you key out the green screen, use Colorama and set the output cycle to Ramp Grey.
Then, set the trackMatte on the Waveform layer to the Luma of the video with Colorama. You can adjust the contrast on the video layer to achieve your desired effect. Then you could do what you want. That will at least get you the person in motion as a waveform.
"Wait, there's more..."
like this site
like this tutE
like everything in here
Soon I'll send you a link with a project I am making at the moment. Curious what you will think of it!
Keep up the good stuff!

Andrew Krammer ...if you wanted to make the particle wave look more like the sound the keyframes came from would you decrease the velocity???
You really RULEZ!!!
I think that Adobe should pay you 4 your job...
Bye
Andrea

Third;
You Rock Andrew Kramer !!
Nice tutorial, Andrew.
you are always the best AE guy in my heart.
I appreciate your contribution to us guys out there who are trying to learn how to use After Effects in "outside the box" sort of a way.
Hmmmm. "Outside The Box".... sounds like a catchy title for a new section on your site on how to use After Effects "the XXX Advanced edition".
Phil
They always inspire me to go and make cool comps in AFX
As you can see from all the comments that your work, tutories and efforts do not go a miss. You continually inspire editors and fx newbies all the time. Thanks for all the work.
P.s. How about a tutorial on animating some vector art? Like my logo at www.kingsofthedancefloor.com? lol
Excelente Tutorial...

I'd like to say just one thing I've tried out, even if surely you already know it or someone else have already posted it.
Adding motion blur to the camera and to the particles layers will give the streaks a nice "smokey" effect, check it out!
Best wishes again to you and your family!

Have to say you are the best AE tutor I've seen.
Your site is very inspireing. I hope you'll have enought positive motivation to keep up this great work.
Have you ever play with the scribble effect?
Do you have any hint how build up paint or hand draw animation look with after effects? Similar look like Poser programs sketchrender does.
Perhaps we can see fancy videotutorial about that subject in the future.
Thanks!

andrew! why are u not producing large video tutorials for sale?
Amazing tutorials as always,
But i have a question:
Is it possible to somehow make the "digital waveform" effect generate a 3d wave form that I can fly around with the camera?
I hope its not too much to explain on the blog...
Thanks again youve been a great help with everything.
feel free to email me...

P.S. Wouldn't happen to know of a site like this, but for photoshop? I learned so much from you in after effects, even after taking a class. You should do a photoshop site as well, as I'm sure your expertise could teach so many things.
I love these kinds of swirly lightings, look kinda like those ink fx from your Riot Gear!
I've used your InkMan tut (my graphics, your way of fx) for the introduction to my multimedia major project, teacher was amazed. ahahah. Now I'm gona use this use this for my graduation video ahahah! Thanks for all the tuts man, keep 'em drifting!
