This is an awesome tutorial man ... which Adobe After Effects do you use Cs3 or Cs4???

It`s important to khow that the tip with CC Transform (when its correct DisplacementMap) will not work if your composition uses any of none-square pixel aspect ratios.

Adobe After Effects: $1,000

HD Camera: $700

Melting Sam: Priceless.

You are the best Andrew Kramer.. I've watched your tutorials and I learned many techniques and new style in designings. We here and my family are so very thankful for the tutorials you've shared and you helped us a lot to maximized our business in designing.

Thank you so much Andrew Kramer.

Whoops. I typed wrong there.. Well, I hope you at least you understand what I mean...

Hi! I really like your tutorials, I really do, but when I saw on this tutorial, at the half part of the movie. What can be the problem of this?
It worked perfectly yesterday, but it stopped working this evening for some reason.

thats pretty awesome!! , cool! I am a student of flim art. If only i can have ur email so that i can ask u some questions. hah

Fabulous. I've been out of the game for some time so I don't know which version of After Effects you are using?

hi andrew nice video copilot tutorial

Brilliant tut and got it all working, forwards and reverse...my problem is that adding the displacement layers is causing the footage to blur slightly (working with PAL SD footage) and so when I reimport into Avid there's a noticeable shift in the quality of the disappearing layer compared with the original footage.....I can get around it by adding a linear wipe to the Displace layer as an adjustment track matte, but was wondering if there's a way to keep the quality of the original footage once it's had the effect applied?

I need help.is it possible to DISINTEGRATE something in your hand saying a deck of cards.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy9nBqWJZlU

I had to paste the displacement expression in the ANCHOR POINT of the transform effect. Not the POSITION. Not sure if I'm the only one with this problem.

You...... You're good you

hi andrew

One of the best tutorials, thanks man great job keep up the good work, your products are also great.

BTW, mystic7, there are a couple of things you didn't think of: did you put the BG at the BOTTOM of the timeline under everything and then set disintegrate (wow its so hard to spell this word) comp to screen? Also, the BG didn't appear in disintegrate because you put a black solid as the background to avoid transparency freaking out.

quieroooo un creador de wallpapers.........

Video Copilot is the best.... awesome tutorial...

This is the coolest tutorial of them all. It is so complex with all the layering, adjustments, and precompositing, that I have not been able to get it totally right. Make cause I'm on CS5, or have some different defaults. Would love to be able to study the finish project and see how each part makes it tick. Please consider adding the .aep file to the project download. Thanks.

I've gotten through a few tutorials now, but never am I able to get all the way through without something not working the way it does in your tutorial, which is very frustrating. In this case it's adding the background (yes, I know, your BG is missing, I found another to use). When I add it, the flames do not appear when scrubbing through the timeline, and if I add the background directly to the video source comp, it doesn't appear in the main comp (Disintegrate).

There are some incompatibilities between CS4 and CS5. Perhaps it's time to upgrade and do some CS5 tutorials! Other than that, what a resource!

Hi am very happy because this very essential site , but i would like that you help me about how i can get tutorials about how i can do snakes like anacondas

Hi Andrew, love the tutorials!!!

I'm having some trouble with your Video player (I'm using Chrome)

I would love to effect this on as well as off...I thought I could just reverse the Luma matte/inverted Luma matte? ...no luck...I did a Time-Reverse layer thinking that would be easiest, still not what I was after? please help...best tutorials on the planet!!! you've saved my job more times than I can count!!!THANKS!!!!

Hey Andrew i was wondering if you could do a teleportation effect similar to the one seen in the movie jumper. I know how to make one, but it is mediocre, and i think you could make a really good one.

Thank you in advance, Abdul

Still one of the best ones ever!

Fantastic.........!I Love it...Its awesome....!
Hey Andrew,You are amazing and i love you buddy......!THAnK YoU.....!

Hey, first of all i want to thank you for all the tutorials. I was trying to do this effect but when I change the Track Matte to Luma Matte the only part showing through is the gray area where the black and white meet in the linear wipe transition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks

Visit Malaysia Andrew

Incredible Tutorial! Just one thing, though -- when I download the project files, the zip doesn't include the "BG" image that you use in the video. I'll try it with another image, but it would be nice to have.

Love your tuts. Having issues getting the Displacement to work in CS4, on a mac. Put the layers in the correct order and applied the displacement map, chose layer 4. Displace as my map layer. Added the Transform effect, wrote the position code...move to top of Displacement Map like instructed. But when I tweak the vertical displacement setting like you do, my image still moves up. Odd.

Hi Andrew!
The lesson is very useful and interesting! thank you very much! effect both on the show Supernatural! very nice and exciting! I'm just starting to learn AE, and had such an effect can be done thanks to you! I am Russian, but I understand the essence of the lesson, thanks again! 4 years studied 3DS MAX, Flash, PS:)

Hehe, I think Andrew sighs at around 02:10 just befor he starts to "teach" the stuff. And i can see why.
Anyways, Best tutorial on site (my opinion).

Despite - Respect from Finland

wow xD

Hey Andrew

Obviously, like everyone, I love the utorials, as well as everything else you do.

However, I am having trouble with this one. It works fine with any image, but I cannot seen to get it to work on text, or anything white.

That is, the "Hot stuff" layer in particular. Is there any way to get the same burning effect on something without colour in it?

Thanks
Glenn

Great tutorial..... Genius!!!

all our world east or west
Andreew is best.

Andrew, you are a genius.

Hi, Andrew. Can I see the 88th lesson of human transformation into the ice sculpture.

You are the best!

Hail from Ukraine:))

hey! wow that is so cool thanx you doood
merci pour les info

Hey Andrew,

very nice tutorial - very useful. I tried it on old vampire footage, but the problem is that I can't use the keying correctly though previous Day to Night Conversion. Imagine its all blue colored and I want only the actor to be disintegrated - is there a chance to get the same effect by using masks? Thanks for an answer.

Bye Shawn

muy muy bueno very good

your work osam i read your tutorials a lot of time thanks ples help to footages

@ FILIPOTTER - Try using Google Chrome, runs like a charm.

Thanks Andreew! :D

Hey, I'm using opera and... when watching the videos, it's either really slow, or it loads slow and then gets to a part where it just stops and goes to the beginning. halp

Hey guys,
Andrew, your tutorials are the best and I've seen quite a lot of them, but for some reason, this tutorial (disintegration) doesn't load properly. It only loads about 9 seconds, and shows the bar fully loaded. It doesn't load any more. Can someone please tell me what I should do.

Felicitaciones por los aportes de los tutos que nos dan. Congratulations.

haha

amazing tutorials. u people r doing a wonderful job Thanks a lot, looks really good

Simply outstanding!! Tutorials like this cannot be found anywhere. How to unlock the potential of an application with design and imaginative skills. Now where did I put the tissues ;) Much respect guys!!

As usual, Andrew, this was an excellent tutorial. However, your viewers should note that the disintegration technique only works for computer graphics. I tried disintegrating my boss and it didn't work; he's still alive. Bummer.

THANK U

i am from India, its great to see such a great tutorial....for a emerging VFX artist as like me....thanks

Hi Andrew, You are the best. Each of your tutorial means a lot to me. Thanks a lot. I hope you will continue posting more tutorials.

es algo que realmente esta muy lindo todo lo que nosotros podemos hacer con solo mirar....


eso esta muy bien y en realidad muy vacano...
