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

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

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 !
Ben
11/10/2011
You probably don't have the fon't "Helvetica."
Some guy
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 :)

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..:(

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.
Bill
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.

Hey Andrew,
Did you Made After Effects ? xD

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!!!

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" :)

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 :)

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

Out of all my life of watching tutorials for various things I have never came across such a quality video series. Even the Lynda.com guys don't come close to your quality and personality in your tutorials. I know you have inspired many people, and will keep inspiring many more years to come. Keep up the amazing work.
