By the way, nice tutorial.

There has *got* to be a way to do this without a background. :( Just a transparent, colorized energy wipe that you could stick on top of anything.

When time-framing the "Energy" to go from right to left (or any direction) theres an ugly invisible line that cuts off the energy and doesn't look good
:\ ex. |~~~| <- that's what i got ~~~~ <- that's what i want.

How do you change the animation setting to stop the energy wave from "growing" in and have it rather just sit there static waving about like yours?

if you search "energy" or "orb" or "galactic orb" or something like that on the website, you can find in very good detail how to make that energy or/ball
If you go to http://www.youtube.com/dtsaiint i created an animation with the galactic orb, it is pretty well done in my view.
andrew

Hi! Great tutorials. I've just started with After Effects, more as a hobby, and your tutorials really make it easier to get my teeth into the programme!
I was wondering how you increased the speed of the energy. I followed the tutorial before this and got quite a slow energy effect, so it doesn't woosh past like yours does and looks a little awful, what with the text distorting and finishing to distort before the whole effect has gone past. Any ideas? Also, noticed the energy was a lot more streamlined. Obviously I'm not looking to copy you directly, but I cannot achieve the end result that you have, and it's kind of annoying!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

This is cool, but it would be really nice if you would link or allow us to download your "Previous composition" because its an honest pain in the butt to dig through your older tutorials to find what you're referencing to.

The quality of your tutorials are top rate. I'm not just talking about the content. It is outstanding. The actual creation of the tutorials is first rate. The blend of humor and being able to address the different levels of expertise makes your tutorials a bar that those making tutorials should aspire to get to.
