As always Andrew is so amazingly awesome and generous with his talents. I'm even growing to appreciate (meaning "not cringe") at his sense of humor : )
This particular effect is uniquely awesome. Bravo!

Well ummm, I'm not much of an adobe user but this is for a school project and it would be really helpful if you could help me. You know the color adjustment layer and when you do all the curves thing, Well it doesn't only happen to my tail it also happens to my whole picture. Yeah the whole is gold when i press play and i really have no idea what to do.

are you turning on luma inverted for the adjustment layer? and are you sure the layers are in the right order? because when you turn on luma inverted on an adjustment layer, it makes it so your effects apply to the layer above.

Try combining the effects you (I) 've learned with a bunch of tutorials for one movie, example: Do the demon face warp thing and the main character goes like "OMG ZOMBIES" and he shoots these zombies (gun blowback and muzzle flash to make the shots), they regen (there's a tutorial for that).. and i don't know, he casts holy water against them, and they..glow? And disintegrate.. That'd be cool

I have used this displacement technique so many times, but for some reason, this time it isn't working. The expression on the position for the transform effect isn't keeping the layer from moving entirely with the displacement.

Great tutorial, but i'm stuck at the transfer from the grenade to Sam's video, at the end of the burning effect the "fire" still floats in the air, can somebody help me?

Great Tutorial, but Im stuck at the part where we have to set the displacement values for the grenade the entire grenade stays displaced even when not needed... a little help would be great..

Nice to see this tutorial in use in a major motion picture! "Darkest Hour"
Okay, so they did a little turbulent displace with a circular motion, but still!
Cheers.

Hey there Andrew I was just trying to follow your tutorial on disintegration but your Matte Tracking on your screen doesn't appear on my screen, I was just wondering how to get my screen to look like yours. What version of After Effects do you use?

Maybe someone alreaedy covered this, but I can't read older posts on this site. I was hoping to use this effect where the TEXT burns off but I guess because the text is WHITE it doesn't seem to grab the "HOT STUFF" layer so well. It just takes on a smokey/whispy kind of look. I don't get the "fiery burn" happening across the text as it wipes away. Got any pointers?
Chet
08/04/2011
Corection: I had the layer on the wrong track matte. That fixed the problem so that the GREY text will now appear to burn off (although, it's not a very convincing look) but I still have the problem of not being able to change the color of the text to something else that I need.
Chet
08/04/2011
Jon,
Tried it, but no go. I'm just not getting the look of the text burning off. The color adjustment meant to create the burn color/effect changes the whole text color. Also, I need the text to be a certain color besides gray before and during the burn off. Maybe i've got something out of order but I followed the tutorial step by step. I will admit, i'm returning to the project after a couple of weeks off but I can't see any way to get text to have it's own color but BURN off as it needs to.

So...suppose I would want to make someone appear with this technique, what would I have to invert?
I guess I would have to change the particle world according to the animation also.
I'm planning on using this for a music video which will be shot in a few days, so a quick reply would be REALLY appreciated!
thanks!!

just shoot what you want backwards and export it to a new comp, then you can just add a reverse time effect to it, no need to go through all that other junk

you can just mask around you'r actor and then place footage of the background behind him.or even duplicate the backgroud when their is nothing going on

YOU CAN DUPLICATE THE BACKGROUD WHEN THER IS NOTHING HAPENING
Tom

Excellent tutorial, I was searching for something like this so that I could create an effect of a vampire burning. Unfortunately, I couldn't film against a green screen so I had to just mask around my actor and then place footage of the background behind him.

Great tutorial everything came out looking great up until the step around 32 min when you take the disintegration comp and the video source comp. Some reason for me all the fire and such disappears and it becomes just a transition it looks really bad and it happens when I put the bg in. Other then that up until that point it is usable and I have another way to add the background. It just sucks I cannot figure out how to add all the cool stuff at the end because it somehow messes up. I think I messed up somewhere I cannot figure out where and when I get some free time I am going to try and redo it all

Neil,

The part at 3:28 where you say "so... we'll animate from 0 to 100... by setting the stopwatch there..." makes no sense to me. You say that, but your cursor is on 150, you set the stopwatch, and suddenly two keyframes magically appear... not from 0 to 100, but from 100 to 150... =/
Josh
06/02/2011
When he says "we'll animate from 0 to 100", he means that the transition completion will start at 0, and end at 100. Those numbers are not talking about frame numbers, but the blue number in the effects panel.
hope that helps.

Great tut, difficult but great, slainte mo chara!! 
On completion of this I done a RAM preview, all appeared fine.
However, when I exported my comp, black rectangles appear in place of the particles i created. I tried altering the transfer modes, no joy, strange one, not sure if it's particle world of what, still should have worked!!
I've changed the particles & used trapcode particular instead & it works fine now. Anyone have the same problem with particle world.

Mr. Kramer
around 8:00 mark I get lost I know expressions that is not the issue. The issue is when I move max vertical displacement or max horizontal displacement It does not dissolve up like yours it either moves left or right or dissolves left or right it does not stair case dissolve. It is always even. not staggered.

I feel like such an idiot. I spent the last 3 hours redoing this tutorial over and over. Only to find out that if the time line is set at the beginning frame, It will only move up or down and dissolve left and right....rookie mistake lol.Mr. Kramer this site has given me a new passion and love in life that I have not had in many years. Thank you sir -Derrick (Thank You QUATRO)

You are probably just moving the horizontal displacement value. Vertical value is what you need :)
