Dude! After seeing your latest tutorial I was blown away, I think Goethe must have been talking about your skills on AE when this was said:

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now."
by E.Marinus 06/30/2008

by Sam 06/30/2008
WOW! Your streak is intact. Another exciting tutorial that doesn't just show us how to snitch one cool effect, your commentary allows us to LEARN about the techniques you employ while getting a laugh.

To everyone that reads this: BUY some VideoCopilot stuff and support Andrew's company. He deserves every penny of the money you send! My purchases of Riot Gear and Video Streams have opened up lots of new design work for me.

Andrew, your creativity and skill are awesome. Thanks so much.

by Olympia Logger 06/30/2008
My understanding is that CC Particle World is on the AE install disk as an extra.

I've gone through all 5 of my Production Studio Premium disks and can find nothing by MSI and CABinet files.

Can the CC files be extracted from MSI and CAB files?

It's been a while since the last tutorial, maybe its just been because of the release of The Bullet and Series One. But what a tutorial.

As always the photo realism and complexity broken down into simple steps made this a fantastic tutorial. Only thing missing was Sam being whisked away..

Anyway, thanks again Andrew and team, you guys are always amazing.

Before even watching this one I'm commenting! Thanks to you and people like Aaron @ Creative Cow I've learned so much about the Adobe software that I've gone from struggling in Photoshop to designing flash & video media for people in the space of about five weeks! Awesome work as always and a recent purchase of your entire effects/sounds collection has been the best money I've spent in years!

Hope all's good!

Hi Andrew!
I watched this tutorial last night, and thought, why not? I could try this. So I did, and I came up with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7kLfk_LI3o
after many hours of hard work. I hope that you at least check it out, and it would mean a lot if you left some feedbaack. I also had some help from your advanced sky replacement tutorial. It was very helpful.

Thank you ANDREW!

Peace,

Henry

Hey, What's up? Andrew Kramer here.. In that very moment i was blown away :0)
by Casbert 07/01/2008
Not read all the other posts on this tutorial so this may have already been addressed/answered but what was the 'quick matte' option on the video copilot effect menu?

Mr. Kramer you are but a tease!

Great work btw!

For some reason the video will play for a few min then stop and have to buffer. I don't have anything else on my network using bandwidth, and it doesn't do this for the other videos. Is this video a larger file? Is the site under a lot of strain?

yea...what is quick matte? I am keying some red stuff and its proving difficult because were using a green screen suit. there is some odd 20 different shades of green on the suit. its going to be amazing once its done! RED is so much fun to work with, but the software is a real butt as its in beta and the only way to retain 4:4:4 is to export as a TIFF...70GB a min...I am trying to find a way to matte what the different color keys see that i am using to create a reverse garbage matte to protect the outside footage without rotoscoping. any suggestions would be appreciated!

by Son 07/01/2008
Andrew, you're like the WAL-MART of the video and film industry. Affordable, easy, but effective. Other big stores are losing business because of WAL-MART.I'm pretty sure that other professional video editors, graphic artists who are as great as you hate you now for giving away these awesome and free tutorials. I don't know exactly why you're doing this. All I can say is, may you live longer and stay generous as you are.
by Veritas 07/01/2008
Wicked fast...so much information and artistic inspiration in this tutorial that it's overwhelming. Thank you for your site and geek comedy relief.

A digital sound tutorial would really be icing on the cake...maybe with some neat HD ocean effects... call it "the perfect storm"

thanks again Andrew

Am I the only one here who speaks English as a first language?

Just so I don't feel completely out of place Andrew, allow me to say:

"me loves you and her tutorials greatly from the Khazakistan. I is milkman but wishes the special-effects career gigantically. You is the Godzilla amongst her turnips".

I don't know what that means either.

Ok ... now that we have THAT outta the way ...

Just wanted to say "thanks" for all the tutorials Andrew. I'm not in the film industry and never will be, but I love screwing around with After Effects as a hobby.

God knows how many hours I've spent watching your tutorials and goofing off with the software, but I can tell you this - every hour has been a hell of a lot of fun.

I'm a run-of-the-mill corporate website sorta guy. I've been building websites and Intranets for blue-chip companies here in Australia for the last fourteen years and in the last twelve months I've started producing online, flash-based tutorials.

And I have to confess - I've ripped your style off mercilessly.

I've seen a lot of online tutes over the last few years and I gotta hand it to you buddy, yours are the best.

Now, if I can just convince my company to shell out the bucks for your DVDs we'll both be happy - I'm workin' on it.

Suit Dude

Oh well -
