by Neil Sorhaindo 04/02/2008
Nice tutorial... as always. But i agree with what one of ur followers said... can u make a tutorial without using a black background (or dark one... as u cheated this time).
I live in the Caribbean... Black doesn't float over so well here... well... so often at least.

Thanx again Sensei

One tip: You can actually drag the pickwhip from the z-value of the emitter directly to the z-value on the null object to make it work without having to change the script.

by Gaëtan 04/02/2008
Hello all!

I just tell you why it will not interfere with Animation Prédéfinies, when I put on a slap and then he says: After Effects (warning): Error: Class "Effect" has no property or method called "Slider" Expression disabled ?

Look at this: http://www.dream-prod.be/Forum/cavapas.JPG

by Máximo 04/02/2008
AK, have you seen this Animation in YOU TUBE? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7op4mWnEoE) seems to me that is based on your AFTER EFFECT BASIC TRAINING tutorial (http://www.videocopilot.net/basic/).

Nowadays most advertising are using Camera Pan and 3D FX in 3D Space. To keep up with the latest style animation, I have been recording TV spot and Broadcast Animation spot from CNN, Discovery Channel, Universal Channel, National Geographic, Fox, Discovery Home and Health, Sony Entertainment Television and so. TV Spot look similar to Andrews Kramer tutorials and by others Creative Cow Designers... (http://library.creativecow.net/tutorials/adobeaftereffects).

Kramer, you are my inspiration and the master of After Effect, as I said before, you should become CEO in the Video Department at Adobe System Inc... Let me give these guys a call...

by Ryan Smith 04/02/2008
I was following along with your tutorial, and when you got to the point where you were adding the animation preset "3D Orbit" I realized that I didn't have it. So I went to your website and clicked on the "Presets" section, but that wasn't in there. I noticed on your tutorial that it was in the Video Copilot Folder, not the Twitch or Evolution folder. Is this something that must be purchased? How do I get this preset so that I may continue to follow the tutorial?
by Mike 04/02/2008
ahahahaah not black but dark grey! :D ill remember that one :D
by Jaior 04/02/2008
Great tutorial...I want to know where can i get the animation presets of videocopilot. Thanks
by lowmankind 04/02/2008
I've started obsessively checking the site 3 times a day to see when the next tutorial comes out... never realised that there's so much possible with AE... my boss may just start getting impressed with me and give me that raise you mentioned
by WiRXMAN 04/02/2008
Dude, that dark gray is awesome. It really throws things off a notch to your typical tuts. !! Awesome.

Really appreciate that you went through this one quickly and didn't spend a ton of time "resetting" for beginners.

Watched it for the particles and didn't have to deal with a ton of time spent on moving the camera or whatever.

Hope the trend continues!

Another great tutorial! I really like the wide angle camera...

It really blows my mind how fast you can move through AE. The pace is perfect!

Is there any chance you could incorporate a displacement map in a future tutorial? I know you can do some very cool effects with them.

I will send you all the root beer you can drink...

Thank u so much.

Andrew, great job like always. I can't wait to see what you do with the new Trapcode Form plugin. That thing is very cool. I think Trapcode makes some of the best plugins for AE.

Hi Andrew...

Small question, what's the shortcut to scale the composition window in fullscreen, so not in 'render to ram', only in the display as you often do in your tuts ?

Thx

Hi Andrew,

i am working as editor/director for a tv-station in the netherlands. My department is normally working on FCP. But for the special effects we are now getting in to after effects. Everyone is very excited about your tutorials. Thanks for making this possible and keep on the good work.

by Caleb 04/04/2008
Awesome!

Great Tutorial as always. It's kinda funny i've been wanting to put a demo of sorts for clients to see what i can do. And actually i was thinking of using trapcode and doing a circular frozen type of effect and fly through and around it.

Well lo and behold you just happen to put one up like that. So i'm thanking you in advance in saving me three hours of headache trying to achieve what i wanted. I now only have 2 hours of headache doing the other things.

Keep up the great work Andrew!!

Excellent tutorial Mr. Kramer!!!. I have a question, how can I share my tutorials in this web? I have a lot of them, for example, one very nice about how make cool movie titles in 3dsmax with advanced textures and animations, but all the tutorial is in spanish because I'm Mexican. I like to make special effects and animations, so I want to share my tutorials with the people and no matter if they are Mexican or from another country.

by grfx Junkee 04/04/2008
Yush. A.Kramer, been following your site for some time now, and the knowledge you've imparted have been really informative and is greatly appreciated. I'm really digging this last tutorial. I see that you used a custom preset to rotate that particle effect around. Is that a very difficult thing to do? (i.e creating the custom preset) and do you plan on doing any tutorial to show the basics of how you can create those presets?

Thanks in Advance

by John 04/06/2008
Great tutorial. Just one problem, when you duplicate the Particle layer and check the attributes of the expression to add the + 30 value, you seem to have a [temp[0], temp[1]]. When I duplicate my layer I don't seem to have this as part of my layers expression. Is there something I am doing wrong. I have replicated this tutorial no problem up to this point several times with the same results. Am I missing something....
by arouri 04/06/2008
woooow its nice thank you :) andrew kramer
by Andres 04/06/2008
Para los que tienen lios con el preset, es debido a que el preset fue redactado en ingles. Prueben usando after en version inglesa y veran que les funciona.

by Doubt 04/06/2008
I was hoping someone can clarify me something:

When he puts the null object (20:35), the whole particle design changes. I tried doing something similar in other project and, after using the Adjustment layer and adding some more layers, the same thing happened to me. Does anyone know why this damn thing happens? Why my particles design changes when I add an adjustment layer or null object? What can be done to prevent that from happening?

I would appreciate a lot if someone could explain this whole process.

Thanks

by Gyorfi Szilard 04/06/2008
Ewer wondered why your tutorials are so popular?

Beside that they are creative , have a good technical background and that they are really useful for people in production to?

Let me tell you why:

VIDEO COPILOT is Entertainment ,
man your jokes keep me focused, while on other tutorial products I literally fall asleep (it happened 2-3 times:p )


Thank you for all, from now on I will buy all your new products.

At the moment I bought Twich and it is way better than I expected.
