it's so cool

does the project file contain all the files needed to make this feature, or do i have to buy somthing?

Sir, you rock my world. Yours are by far the absolute best tutorials I have ever seen and used. AE was this huge scary monster with fangs ... until I found this site! Thanks for your expertise and time. It is much appreciated!

Can you guys please do a tutorial on a "time lapse ageing effect" or something to that nature. I want to have my actor ageing rapidly. Keep up the killer stuff. Thanks

VERY GOOD, ANDREW

HAHA!! Very nice.

Working on Halloween Effects now for the home movies!!

HEY! I hope you read this i'm totally big fan of yours and i've learned a lot from your tutorials but i have a question...Can this effect be made by the 6.5 pro version? or it's just for the 7.0 pro version?

I'll be glad if you can reply,

greetings from Chile and take care

CHECK IT OUT!lol!
Great work andrew!

Very cool, I'll be using this effect in my movie called Swamp Justice. Hey peep out the movie trailer at www.swampjustice.com and tell me what you think. Trailer 2 is better. Keep up the great work Andrew.

Great tutorial! Only have one question. How do you do when a persons head is coming towards the camera? The face becoms bigger and I didn´t found a great way to track so that the demon face scales up and stays tracked to the face. I had to animate all the masks, frame by frame. So, is there a easy way to track the "demon face" on a persons face when it´s coming towards the camera?

God im so crap, i just cant get past the colouring the face bit, :) is there another tut for this for total Newbies? plz :)
contact me via email/messenger stu_art2002@hotmail.com
thanks
Stu

Does anyone know why I would have After Effects but not have the tracking controls option? I can change to the motion tracking workspace, but I don't have the tracking control options to track motion. Does this require the production suite? I can see the tracked data if I open the project file from this tut, but I can't track my own video. Help if you can. This would really make my life so much easier because I had to add this effect frame by frame which will be impossible for any longer videos.

Thanks!

What did Sam do to his hair?
Looks like he has small tree limbs trying to grow out of the top of his head!

Great tutorial.

hi Andrew i am great fan of your totorials it help me a lot to gain knowedlege but now non of the vidoe

Very very cool!

I followed this step by step and I think it looks really cool. Thanks A lot Andrew Kramer!

Heres my link if you wanna see =)

Hey, Kramer!!!
I'm from Brazil and discovered your website recently (2 or 3 months). Thank you. Without your help I'll never reach the 'real monster'.

i got a problem... when i doble click the precomp its don´t appear a new composition with the real video ... also if some one can write that part and a little bit of the next part i will thanks it ..i don´t know if you understand me but....

Venom,

Have you gotten an answer for your question yet? We should exchange emails and If I hear something I can pass it along. Andrew - I'm sure you're inundated, but is this something you're seen?

Hi there great tutorial!

I am making a movietrailer at school learning after effects, and deamons are going to be in it. I dont know if you have seen the series Supernatural but they make a cool eye effect, they turn all black and it looks really real, and i was wondering if you know how to do that? or red for that sake?

Regards Furier

From argentina, Andrew this tutorial is great man.

OLA TUDO EU SOU DO BRASIL E SOU MUITO FÃ

WAT PROGRAM IS THIS PLZ TELL ME

Hi, Just found out about this site by accident really. What a brilliant tutorial. It's very advanced for me but it was so clear that it makes me confident enough to acheive it.

Thank you very much for your efforts.
Really appreciated !

u r too good.. really hats of u
very coooolllllll~~~~~~

I wanna try this one on my picture.

next time, can you post how to do motion paths, i am really confused.

thank you

Hey Andrew. You are amazing at After Effects. But about this demon face warp tutorial, I follwed all the steps with the tracking and reverse tracking, and it would not turn out right on mine. I have After Effects 6.0 Professional, so could that be the problem? Also, I don't get how tracking and reverse tracking make the liquify effect stay on the face. Please Write back.
Thanks,
napoleon22

I cant find the Motion Tracker :S I got AE 7.0 do i need AE CS3?

can any one tell me how to track the teeth and have it stick to the precomp face?

Forgot to write in my hotmail. Email me if you know why the Motion tracker aint in Windows. I got AE 7.0, do i need AE CS3?

question how do i track diffrent parts of a video wile its being stabilized for examp if i wanted to track the teeth wile the video is being stabilized

The Program he used was just After effects.

i can't method to say thank you for this tutorial . it's very useful and really enjoy with it. i will wait next project .

Ey dude!! The best tutorial ever! Pease out! take care!

Hey Andrew. I don't know if you got my other message, buy I figured out how to do the demon face warp. Except for there is one little problem. When I reverse track it, my footage still turns out all rotated off the screen when I finish doing it. Do you mabye know what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks,
napoleon22

this is such a good tutorial, heres a rough version that i tried


http://www.stickypod.com/videos/data/596/demon_face_warp.mp4

I'm sorry, I have a problem, when Andrew want to copy the settings of one to another (in the second 5:57), he get some options to translate one settings to the other "Expresion position", but, he get the ....Dreamcast logo xd. How did he do this?. Because I don't know, I have the adobe after effects pro 7.0, the same that Andrew use. Pleas, if someone know how did he get that option, I will be thanksfull.

Thanks

AdIeU

hey, thanks man, great tutorial, but I have a problem . . . in the beginning, when you alt-click on position in PreCompFace, it doesn't work for me. I have After Effects 6.5 on a mac, everything else before that worked fine except for that. Please help me out here. Thanks.

this tut is pretty awesome but there is still one thing i dont really understand: the motion stabilizing... i mean if you reverse stabilize it... arent u basically adding the exact same shakes or cam movements that it had before? can you please make a tutorial only for motion stabilizing... it would be really great because many of us who can afford big cameras and tripods and stands use small ones which do have a lot of shakes... thanks a lot man!

Lol, it was alt click,

Ahmad, I think that this function it's not able in after effects 6.5 (in fact, I buy the 7.0 version, just for that function)

AdIeU

Andrew you are an absolute legend. This tutorial rocks. I was just wondering what the difference was between reverse-stabilization and simply applying tracking data to a nul object. It seems like reverse-stabilization is more work for the same outcome. Cheers mate.

bien m,e gustaria saber si nos pueden ayudar en unos efectos especiales para hacer una pelicula

someone should try that effect with like a rubber werewolf mask, or perhaps more pleasing a realistic werewolf mask, remote controlled to move the mouth, ears and such. Just a thought.

very good thank's for that tuto

hey andrew thnx a lotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!! also maybe you could make a HULK transformation tutorial if you want to again thank u ur the best !!!!!

Thanks a lot andrew that rocks ... but i have a qustion ... from where can i get those sounds of demonic voices and screams or roars and how can i apply them in to the scene of the moment scream!

I will be very greatfull if someone tells me or show me:)

Amazing!!!!!! andrew Kramer...you...Genius...

greatjob!!!thank you andrew

I love it but when i try to to it on 6.5 i cant use the sqiggaly line to go from anchor point, position, rotation to the other comp please help

thank for the tut.with your help i can make my ideas real thing.KEEP HELPING ME.

i also have the same "tracker control" problem,does anyone have an idea why the f.ck this is because?i have a.e 7.0 but im about to go crazy,got very pissed off for noone helpin :S

nevermind its only my 1st day on after effects overlooked something right in front of me

love this tutorial

Hey guys im having a little problem....i can't seem to find the tracker controls on my after effect. which version is it on.. i have version 7.0

I believe the motion tracking is only available in the "professional" edition of AE 7.0; in the help file, it says (Pro only) when referencing tracker controls. Hope that helps anyone who needed it.

I cannot get this to work the liquify effect doesnt move with the footage I dont know where Im goin wrong

What program makes that changing demon face. I can use it on my halloween movies. Please help. I already have videos on youtube. And I would like for next halloween to use this effect, thank you

is there a way for me to download these tuts to watch later with out being on the net.

hy i am cristian from argentina very nice work i like to work like taht nice tuto.

This tutorial is amazing, It seems like the possibilities with after effects are endless. I really look forward to learning more about this program. Thanks, heres my demon face.

Hi Andrew, I love this tutorial! I used it for a school production of Scrooge . The part where Jacob Marleys ghost appears, I projected a video of the ghost floating around and messed up the actresses face using liquify and motion tracking. Scared the audience half to death! Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIKeO6bIiUQ

this one isn't bad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFz-T2bsEBg

Nice Work Kramer Bai.All can made it, but after you .so all the credit goes to After Andrew Kramer effects. Is there any thing to increase imagination.i go through this page .u didn't reply anyone . what is important? need to make effects or a plug-in or effect to birth a new need for video. look forward to your reply . may it happen

This is my version of it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuym71pAnFY

It was pretty hard to do, but still fun!
haha, see for yourself :p

Thanks allot mister Kramer!

This one I liked, it made me mad because I got it the first 2 times and then the second time its not working again! can someone please help, im having trouble at the part where you connects all the Anchors and Position and Rotation...it keeps going into the corner in stead of staying in the middle and going normal like in yours....please help

i love andrew!

I'm using After Effects 6.5 Pro on my Mac OS X. I did the Motion Track thingy but about the reversing, I can't reverse it.

Tell me what to do!!!!

hi, i like so much yours tuturials , are so great effects

increible todas las pocibilidades que nos ofrece afeter effets ya estoy aprendiendo poco a poco gracias a los exelentes totoriales de Andrew

hola que buen manual gracias
saludes desde colombia solo hablo español

Hey, I followed this tutorial quite a while ago, but my video on youtube has had a lot views :).

I kept the effect sort of subtle(a lot of people overdo the grunge and the liquify, wich I don't really like). Anyway, here's the outcome:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=cQQnlxi0DUs

I was wondering why i can not play the video. i have tried it on many computers. what else can i do to see this tutorial with out actually buying it? Can some give me a hand?

AMAZING!!! lol It appears that everytime I learn something about your wonderful digital god techniques, I learn how to do something else... For the suicide Tut, I found out how to do Predator... With this, Vampire/Zombie... lol we can probably make it look even better then I Am Legend... Thanks for poping up tuts on your page, they are just incredible.

I dont understand why your using such a complex capture method?
Doesnt it easy to capture the position and the rotation and aply it to a null object like in the crawling bug tut?

RELY YOU EXLANS THNK YOU ANDRO

Hi!! Im a Graphic Designer from Mexico and I really love your job andrew!!! thank you. I have After Effects 7 but I don´t have the tracker controls and I need to finish a spot. Please help me!! What I have to do??

EXLANS . EXLANS . EXLANS RELY YOU EXLANS .THANK U

An update:
For those who don't know how to use this tracking technique with scale too, just check "scale" in the stabilize motion step, and then, you can use the following expression in the scale (you can link first with the "link" handle, and then edit the expression generated):

ACHICADO_X = 100 - comp("Tracked").layer("Stabilized").transform.scale[0];
ACHICADO_Y = 100 - comp("Tracked").layer("Stabilized").transform.scale[1];
ESCALAR_X = 100 + ACHICADO_X;
ESCALAR_Y = 100 + ACHICADO_Y;
[ESCALAR_X , ESCALAR_Y]


Where "Tracked" is the comp to work with (the PreComp in the Andrew tutorial), and "Stabilized" is the comp with the original movie.

Basically, the expression works like this:
if the scale of the stabilizing result is 90%, then it scales at 100%

this is my version of the demod http://youtube.com/watch?v=RSPPrjJg7xU

Hi i m a compositor from turkey. and follow the way you lead andrew....let me ask are you planing to make vampire desintegratin effect? like dusting deaths in buffy/angel or blade

I stumbled upon your site by accident, I've been browsing your tutorials for AE and They have HELPED a bunch. I'm learning new things with every tutorial. I really hope to see more from you, i wish every video tutorial were as good and helpful as yours are!

what camera do you use for filming? and how much does it cost? Thanks for a great tutorial.. keep up the good job, Andrew.

Hi, Theses tutorials are the best ever seen and comprehensive, but its gonna take me some time to master the technics. I'm still a very beginner to AE.

this one is my fav.

This tutorial is awesome! I really like how easily he explains things, so people with no knowledge of After Effects can pick it up with ease.

I encountered a problem though...I have 6.0 professional and right after I do the reverse tracking part, the image stabilizes but the image quality looks like it's under water or something. Anyone got any ideas what would cause this??? It's even there when I output to .avi or Quicktime.

super, magnifique, que dire de plus

I' so excited!!! Andrew, you're the best!!! More tutorials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this great tutorial!!

But I have one question: When I am about to create a new mask for the demon face colour with the pen tool, I create a "Mask Path" and not a "Mask Shape". I am using AE CS3. What should I do?

Please respond here: athenva@gmail.com

This is an amazing tutorial! And it can be used for a lot of different things. Here is one of my experiments with this tutorial (also experimented with keying the color correction curves)

This doesn't work for me. I followed everything and the Liquify doesn't "flow" with the track.

no motion trackin in my adobe

Hi, dudes
here's my happy face http://users.telenet.be/kareldobbelaere/HappyGuy.mov , I have a somewhat simpler version than described above [I think]to add the scale to the tracking too : just pickwip the scale too then add the following to the expression:

Sv=10000/comp("PrecomDemon").layer("curvesDemon").transform.scale[0];
[Sv,Sv]

Sv is a random variable name (could be anything)

Sir Render.. that was very cool. I like the softness of the morph.

Hello! First of all, I love your video tutorials, Mr. Kramer, and your splash of comedy. So after getting Adobe After Effects around December 2007, I decided to watch some of your tutorials. This one was one of the best and funniest, so I decided to make my own video, and I sent it to the school film festival. It won.

Here's the link if you want to see it:

Make sure your volume is on, and wait till it's around 1:25. Please watch, rate, and comment--tell me what to improve on!

Thank you for the great tutorial
Really helped

Hi!

I think you're really fantastic in doing this!
I had a question..
I'm kinda a Dragonball Z fan.. and I wanted to ask you how to make a proper energy wave or energy ball with Adobe After Effects 7.0

Thanks!

Im new to Adobe After effects, and this website helps so much! Thank you Andrew Kramer! Keep up the good work!

More tutorials! NOW!!!
Jking lol, thanks again.

Heres my Blog im gonna start posting whenever i do something new in after effects so i can "track" my progress in getting better in the program.

If you moderators can add the link to my After Effects Blog, onto my previous post that i forgot to add it to,i would really appreciate it!

Andrew, Can you make a Tutorial for man that has a Wing ??? thanks

Hello! I have the same problem concerning the tracker control! It doesn;t appear in my AE...What should I do please help!!!

Check out my Deamon Face, i've added some somke to it with particular..

Thanx for the tut!

another awesome tutorial

oen thing though, instead of doing all that reverse tracking etc. with the comp, and the contained video file, could you not have just motion tracked the video file and applied it to a null object?

Please get back to me if possible

Thanks!

I realy LOVE this one i havn't seen any thing like this since ive gotten into AE, Man you realy cool with those FX, Hey have you seen the spawn movie if you havn't then check it out, what if you were to post a tutorial about the FX on the eyes spawn has na Effect in his eye when he's fighting or mad that green kind of shimmer like stuff i don't know what to call it but hey you pulled of some out of the worl FX maybe you can Swipe that out of you bag.

i have tried this a good 4-5 times but each time the "reverse motion tracking" doesn't work.for the comp settings whenever i type in 1700 for the height it says the width is 1133. please help.

WOW!!! Awesome Tutorial. I never realized After Effects was capable of that type of effect.

I have purchased some of your products and I think they are great.

I was hoping that I could get a Quicktime Version of this Demon Video Tutorial???

It's Great!!!

Is there a way I could get a Quicktime copy of it or other??

Adam Gibson

Why i cant see the tutorial?

Awesome tutorial, my first.
Here is my result:

Andrew, how about doing a UFO tutorial, like the classic: looking up to the sky, above a building, hovering then leaving... That would Rock!

Thank you for sharing so much knowledge, JG

A quick question for anyone who knows about it - once you've finished and applied a motion track, is it possible to go back and adjust it? Or does it need to be re-tracked (and all the child commands re-parented)?

If anyone knows just leave a comment, as I'm trying to develop my AE skills but I don't have anyone to turn to if I have a question ^^

-Daniel

seriously, this is the best tutorial site i have ever been on. ur personality and presentation makes all the difference. most others dont bother to explain or show alternatives, but u make everything clear and amusing. i hope there will be many more tuts to come.

First time using AE and this tutorial was a great way for me to pick up a lot of the techniques, thanks bud.

Omg, HEY! andrew i'm sergio from chile, and i have a question im trying to follow your tutorial and as i can see is very cool but i have a problem, when i put width 1700 the height auto-put it-self in 1133 what can i do? PLZZ help me shamank1@hotmail.com my mail again, thanks.

Hi,

lol u are the best, deamons looks best whit sun glasses :P

HAHAHAHA I love this one..
So funny the way you play with Sams head and his eyes! hahahahahahaha.. omg iam crying. So funny

I have adobe after effects 7.0 (don't know if its proffesonal or not), but i don't get the same window that you get. Is it a plug-in?(Your toutorials are the best)

Andrew, I'm quite impressed by this tutorial and the manner in which you present all of your tutorials. Ahum, I do have a question: I can't seem to lock down the stabilizing (and I have followed the tutorial frame by frame lol), which in turn means everytime I add liqufy or the glasses there is too much movement. I know that you are quite the busy man, but is it possible for you or one of the staff members of Audio co-pilot to explain what it is that I am doing wrong? Any help would be extremely helpful.
In Advance, thank you.

Hey moderets i know ur reading this are any of u girls if so i would like to ask u out on a date

Hi Andrew! Congratulations for your amazing tutorials they are really a great help.

Unofortunately im experiencing some problems regarding the PreCompose window: i follow the steps u do on this tutorial but when it gets to precompose the footage in the precompose window it doesnt deselect "leave all attribute in blankcomp" when i click on "move all the attributes into the new composition" but both of the two options remain selected and there's no way to remove the selection from the first choice anyone has any idea on how to solve this little issue?

Thx
