Made This With Your Ultimate Tutorial! http://alinoontime.blogspot.com/2013/02/demo-of-my-next-movies.html

When you add the 3D layer at 3:26... I dont have a 3D layer option... And i see you don't either, but then you like drag down or something. You must be holding a key.. What key?

12/21/2012

Press F4

12/15/2012

thank you for your tutorial,nice! :)

12/14/2012

You are a first man that could give me very clear tutorial thanks!

12/06/2012

Great tutorial, thanks alot!

10/30/2012

great tutorial. Just getting into after effects. Very clear and concise.

10/20/2012

im using ae cs6 and when i alt click on the Z access it doesnt do anything what do i do

11/28/2012

I had the same problem dude! its still ALT click but you have to do it on the little stopwatch icon next to the words "Z Rotation" Clicking on the words themselves does nothing

10/16/2012

A huge thank you!
Not only do you give clear instructions, you also make it fun to discover that all, instead of just giving information and techniques...
Thanks!

10/15/2012

Wow Andrew, you did a really great job!
And you sure do love "wiggle()"

09/06/2012

Outstanding video tutorial . I have never before seen a presentation that has the fluidity , the knowledge , the clear execution and the awesome visuals.

I really would like to know how you made the video tutorial itself . I do not think that After Effects can record the Screen so it must to have been Camtasia or other similar application. Can you tell us about it please. I for sure will appreciate it and I am sure that a lot of people will too. Thanks.

09/03/2012

Hi Andrew. This is an awsome tutorial. Though when I tried it something really weird happened. I double-click on the elipse tool and indeed it creates a perfect circle. After that I use the masking techniques just as you instruct. After making the solid 3D if I try to rotate it in Z-space as you indicate ... it gets oval like an egg! For no apparent reason. From a perfect circle to an egg shape. What's my problem really!? :/

01/06/2013

Hey,this happened to me, haha its easy to fix first you click than hold shift, it makes it to perfect the ratio to make the circle exact. p.s dont move your mouse when done clicking the button it will accenditilly reset

08/07/2012

you Know This Is Awesome Man... im Just A Kid But I Like To Watch Your Tutorials Actually Im From Philippines Where people Sucks !!! So Really Im A Kid and your tutorial really helps me ... ALOT !!!1

If the camera is on I dont see the target layers but if the camera is on I see the target layers but lose the grid. can anyone shed any light on the issue. thanks

07/04/2012

06/20/2012

Is there a way to make the number only count up?

07/16/2012

Create a new object.
Apply a "slider" effect on it.
Alt+click on the slider's stopwatch and type this expression:
Math.floor(time*x)

replace x by a value which corresponds to the speed you want ;)

Then, go back to your text and go on to the source text parameter. Alt+click on the stopwatch. Then, use the pick whip and drag it on the slider.

Hope that helps :)

[sorry for bad english]

06/12/2012

04/11/2012

Helped me loads!
I added a little turbulent displace to the red shield monitor to make it look as if it was flickering.

03/29/2012

It you had a bar that when up and down connected to the number represented by the shield, it would look even better.

03/10/2012

So nice for a newbie like me to work with ^^ Thank you so much for another great tutorial...

08/29/2011

ESTE TUTORIAL ESTA MUY BUENO, SOLAMENTE TENGO UN PROBLEMA PARA SACAR LA OPCIÓN EXPRESIÓN: ROTACIÓN QUE APARECE A LOS 3:45 SEGUNDOS, POR FAVOR QUIEN PUEDA AYUDARME LE ESTARÉ AGRADECIDO.

GRACIAS....

08/16/2011

What you are doing is what I want to do when I get older. Thank you so much for this! These tutorials are the best I've ever seen!

08/16/2011

Hi,
I've a problem to open your file after effect "HUD download". When I try, it opens a window saying : "The following layer dependencies are missing : Text Layer: Font family: 'Helvetica', Font style 'Regular'.
I don't know if your file is damaged or if it's coming from my computer.
However, you do a very nice work ! Keep on going !

11/10/2011

You probably don't have the fon't "Helvetica."

09/07/2011

This is because your computer does not have the font (texttype) helvetica. Just change the font and you'll be alright. No damaged file :)

08/04/2011

Even though, im not gay...i'd still kiss you for teaching me this. I'm making a epic low grade version of iron man's lab holograms in my room right now...but hey its something!!!

08/03/2011

Thank you so much, You make the best Tutorials EVER!!

08/02/2011

nice one

07/25/2011

Genius. Thanks a lot, i learned a lot of new tings from this tutorial :)

07/25/2011

Muchas graciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas por las tutorias ,me ayudaste muchoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo en los proyectos ,animo ^_^

07/24/2011

I like the tutorials on this site but what absolutely pisses me off is when people do stuff in the videos without saying what they just did.

For example:

At 3:25 you hit a hotkey and I have no idea what just happened, I spend almost 1.5 hours googling for what i'm supposed to do and i'm just gonna quit for today. Most of the tutorials on here are awesome but bumping in issues like these really sucks and its avoidable, please take note..:(

07/25/2011

I think you're newbie. But this site is primarily for int-adv level artists. Don't blame me or andrew, he just posted some great vid tuts for absolutely beginners, i think you need this. Just open the homepage & find "10 free tutorials for beginners" with a nice 3d rounded star logo. just get 'em & learn AE.

hopefully this will help you.

07/25/2011

Eddie, all he did was change modes at the bottom of the screen, which he did by pressing F4 I believe. Or you can just click on the "Toggle Switches/Modes" button.

Hope that helps, calm down though.

07/11/2011

its wonderful tutorials

07/06/2011

I love sharping my AE skills and your tutorials are great for that. Thanks

07/03/2011

Awesome dude.... You Must Be Earning So Much

07/02/2011

So, how do I render the video? I tried, but the video length is 0:00:00, and the players wont play it because of it, hope you can help me out so I can upload it to Youtube and amaze my friends, Thax

07/02/2011

How did you make the targeting system follow his eye?

06/24/2011

andrew!!!!!! can you plz go slower and also tell us what buttons you press to get certain controls, like when you make the circle a 3d layer. please answer this, what keys did you press to make it a 3d layer??? i have mac BTW. =)

06/09/2011

Hey Andrew,
Did you Made After Effects ? xD
no one knows how to handle this big software besides you :)
Fan of yours from Pakistan :)

06/07/2011

I have to come up with a possible HUD demonstration, plus show moving into clouds (reflected on the backside of the HUD) AND, a reversed Computer interface on the HUD – while flying into "The Cloud", which right now, is probably more dangerous for me to try to do, than actual Texting while Driving! HAHAHA!!! Well, besides that, I believe this was the luckiest find for me – time wise – since just 6-7 weeks ago, I decided it was time to trying to move from 3D Print and Animation – as a Lightwave Modeler and Animator (and Photoshop Expert) – and to integrate the power of the newest Version of AE and make more robust Video Product – since, video is where I am finding work – and fast. A quick question... could I just as easily make the interface elements in PS as ,png files, or AI as .eps elements? Well, I love this site... prepare for a lots of questions! Quite entertaining too!!! Robocop! HAHAHA!!!

06/03/2011

I'm only a kid and even I know that your awesome!

05/29/2011

if the after effects thing doesnt work out you could always be a stand up comic!!!...YOU ROCK MAN!!!

05/20/2011

Great Job...
I like tutorial.......
Keep it.....

05/19/2011

Graphics & FX 100%, Knowledge 100%, Sharing 100%... YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND AND YOU ROCK BRO!!

05/18/2011

Amazinggggggggggggggggg!!!!! Andrew, you're the best, man! Keep it up! :D Greetings from Albania!

05/18/2011

I really appreciate those creative mindsss & thanks for the shARING..........

05/17/2011

how make radomize number with only 0 and 1? like binary cod?

05/13/2011

Dude! Marry me! Lol, It still wouldn't be as bloody expensive as my degree..which (and I hope you see this Solent Uni) was nothing compared to these awesome tutorials! :)

PS....As for the RoboCop quote, I'd have probably gone with "Stay outta trouble" :)

05/12/2011

gr8

05/11/2011

Hey, I'm a noob at AE and I'm trying to do just the eye tracking, thing... yeah anyway obviously you have Sam as a background, is there a way I can set it without a background so I could render it is a file on it's own and put it on top of separate clips? thanks a lot :)

05/04/2011

Excuse me,you now where is the ellipse tools in the adobe after effect cs5? please :/
Bye

07/25/2011

It's called "flyout" man :)

05/06/2011

You need to alt click on the icon, it doesnt show the elipse, just click on the icon near the pen a couple of times with alt until you see the ellipse tool ;) good luck dude

04/14/2011

really great

04/14/2011

Yeaaah!! it worked for me, i made a simular thing to minority report using this tutorial..
