I LIKE THIS!!!

01/31/2013

Awesome

01/30/2013

I'm doing this using CS6, and it's all fine until I have to create the new camera. I create it, and it does something different to my comp and I have no clue why. Then, when I add a null object and change it to a 3D layer, I can't move the null anywhere, it just becomes this thin red line.
If anyone can shed light on this and point out why this is happening, that would be much appreciated.

10/29/2012

that was awesome !!! xD

10/20/2012

V. Nice , thanks

09/29/2012

Thanks to you I started using CS4 with much more ease and dynamism
The only drawback Is that the mine is in Spanish and some options are named Differently
but nothing serious ..
I want you to look at the intro That I Made Entirely combining several tutorials yours 85,115 and Vegas 93 and personal touches yours and mine
in the end you will see Add Vegas. quize give an effect as passing behind the ring but I could not :/ hahah

Hi Andrew, I'm trying to learn to use after effecst cs6 and I encounter the following problem in galactic orb tutorial you create a starting point, not as it is called, is located at minute 22:47, you say HIT START, good listening then I use the keyboard, and I wonder which is key in order to successfully complete the tutorial, you could show me how it works that key to create the orb!

Greetings from Norway, you are the best

When he says "star" he's talking about this key: (*). It allows you to create a marker.

09/09/2012

06/28/2012

Can someone please give me a hand?
Once I do the render the orb ball doesnt show up. All the other effects do but the orb is not there. On the preview I can see the orb and all but once it's redered only the other effects pop up. What am I doing wrong, I 've watch the whole thing again and haven't found the problem.
Thank you guys!!!

"Let's set the value to 11"
"No, no, 25"
"Hell no, 50, F**K YEAH!"
"No well, maybe to 6"
"OK, let's set it down to 2"

06/18/2012

very nice.. thanks!!

06/18/2012

Hey thanks a lot for all the amazing vids you've posted here!
I just wanted to know do which expression to use for what effect? Like is there any list of expressions or is there any specific method to derive them or something??

05/23/2012

i couldn't fine option in my particle world

06/20/2012

Yo Andrew Kramer!!! Videocopilot.com is my number 1 favorite bookmark you SOB. Serious if you have any grunt work at videocoplot or if you need me to collect money from a non-paying customer get at me.

06/05/2012

If you type "CC Particle World" in the search bar under, "Effects & Presets," it should be there. I am on CS4.

Cheers!

05/22/2012

LOL CURVES

05/09/2012

Y MY CAM CONTROL NO WORK!? ha

05/15/2012

I won't work if your timeline is at the beginning, try moving it foward slightly

05/06/2012

nice

03/14/2012

This is the first tutorial i watch, the host was pretty good, informative and actually very funny as well. Keep it up, thanks for this tutorial

02/27/2012

Can you make a tutorial on how to make a nice 3D energy orb kind of like this but without zoom and stuff. I'm creating a film and I need a very nice energy orb. It must be 3D.

Thank you!

06/14/2012

Dude, no offence, but that's pretty weak. There are more than enough tutorials on this site for you to learn a whole bunch of different techniques which you could experiment with and use to make up your own effect. The site isn't called: GetAndrewKramerToDoYourWorkForYou.net.

Besides, learning different techniques, and playing around and experimenting and coming up with all sorts of different things is 98% of what makes After Effects so awesome and amazing to begin with. Don't be lazy.

01/31/2012

How many people googled Galaxy Studios after watching this?

01/27/2012

awesome tutorial, lots thanks dude!

01/21/2012

Amazing clip.

Andrew you should do live tutorials once a month. It'll be awesome to see you just being you. Even if the tutorial is just a recap of old ones with newer touches or with more shortcuts.

01/12/2012

Can you please add captions to videos?

11/30/2011

Andrew, I'm sure this has been said somewhere in here already, but if not, go to youtube and check out the Einstein vs. Stephen Hawking Epic Rap Battles Of History rap. NicePeter uses the galactic orb when Hawking raps haha. Just thought it was pretty cool

11/21/2011

For those having the issue concerning the opacity map(21:00) If you are you are using CS5/5.5. Click the opacity may control you will see a rectangular box with the opacity curve inside. Place your selection tool in the top left corner, click hold and drag across to the top right corner. This will allow the particle effect to remain constant. Make sure the map is completely filled. Hope this helps.

11/18/2011

Why in the world does your browser load so fast??!! I use Internet Explorer and it loads like a snail!

07/16/2012

You answered your own question there! IE. Get Google Chrome. :)

11/17/2011

can anyone tell me how to get the screen view like andrew has his please respond.....i want my screen to move when i click the time indicator...but as of now, i have to wait to see movement....so if im at 0seconds and move the cursor to 5seconds.....the screen doesnt move, it only adjust once its at 5 seconds.....i dont know how to explain this.....

06/05/2012

Hey William,

I know this is late, but if you are still wondering how to go about having the video "move" while you scroll across the timeline, there is a "Live Update" button in the area above the Layers list. You should see about 8 icons there; it is the 2nd one from the left. Looks like a square within a square. You have to have that enabled (clicked) in order for your video to move while u scroll across the timeline.

11/16/2011

God....i wish i had your talent...but ill learn...DONT WANT TO WORK AT NO STARBUCKS!!

11/07/2011

I was drinking hot choclate and I almost spit it out on of your jokes lol.

Yo Pilots!

I have some annoying problems key framing the particles as shown in the tutorial 22:36++

i got cs4 but when i do as shown in the vid my particles always fade around "00250" and its driving me mad!

what i do is simply:
go to the 00100 and then click on the key frame thing in the effects control, then i move forward and change the Birth rate to 0 also as shown... basicaly i do everything he's doing but my particles still fades (they freeze around 00100 and fade around 00200)

help!

02/23/2012

I am having the same problem too, i couldnt solve it so i spent hours keyfreaming frame per frame, and it worked out perfectly

11/29/2011

I'm having the same problem! Around 200ish frames mine start fading out. I am doing everything exactly as stated in the video. I need help desperately!

09/25/2011

is this can be done on cs3?

09/24/2011

Great tutorial, great presentation, wonderful commentator, and most of all, incredible lens flares!

That's all you need to make anything look good: motion blur and lens flares

Thanks!!!!

09/16/2011

This was a beautiful tutorial. Thank you!

09/03/2011

How do I get the files used in the work?

09/16/2011

I just took my own pictures. You need a camera, flash light, and a glass of water. Very easy. (I used the camera AND flash light on my phone.)

09/03/2011

i don't think the audio sounded right. but i tip my hat for you, great work as always. thanks for providing the best (and bless god they're free) tutorials

09/01/2011

r u using 5.5 version or 4

08/31/2011

Hey :)

I'm a kind of newbie and here is my little problem:

At 20:07, you go in to the options of CC Particle World.... And Arghhh !!! I do not have this choice but only Reinitalize and informations.

I have trapcode particular and the choice "options" is there for this plug.

I use AE CS5.5
So, is there something to do to have this "options" choice shown in AE CS5.5 using CC Particle World ???

Thank you

Elfe

08/31/2011

man i cant stop laughting while watching your tutorials xD, keep it up man

08/30/2011

You and your jokes, I actually had to pause the video because I was laughing too hard "possibly linked to his disdain for curves... I think this is worse than the original". Ridiculous. Awesome tutorial, I love how far you go with a simple snapshot of some caustics. Thank you for all your hard work!

08/28/2011

I got ab problem at minute 26:50 when i type wiggle(8, and then use the "expression pick whip" and klick on slider, then i can see that the pc writes
" wiggle(8,effect("Slider Control")("Slider") "

but when i leave the box, an error appears:


After Effects warning: Expected:)
Expression disabled

Error occurred at line 3.
Comp: Particle zoom
Layer: 1 (Cam Control)
Property: Position

09/27/2011

I think you´re missing one "end" parenthesis at the end of your expression mate.

08/22/2011

Hi, I've a problem with my plug in "Particle world", when I launch it I don't have the same image as I can see in the tutorial. Here is a picture :

Thanks.

08/18/2011

hey andrew...how old are u?

08/17/2011

Dude. I cant find these Light A and B no where... can someone give me a link or something?

08/18/2011

Ummmm... just download the "Project Files". :)

08/17/2011

If I do remember correctly he said that he got his own personal camera and took pictures him self, All you need to do it is a glass of water (To distort the light), a Black piece of paper (To allow it to be blended) and a flashlight (To create the patterns)

08/17/2011

man u have helped countless amount of people in an exciting field. making ideas possible...GOD!

although if you added 5 mins more to the tutorial and slowed between commands/changes. it may flow better. i seem to be pausing/rewinding alot to grab quick comments you make. maybe im slow...but im not the only one. i cant fault you in any other way, this tutorial rocks and so does the whole website.

08/16/2011

The depending on what you are looking for the Cc's will be part of the suite, but if you are looking at extra sets used in the tutorials you can find a set of preset videocopilot and is downloadable for free look under preset :) hope this helps :) oh and new versions are also helpful as well cs5 had new and improved features highly recommend you get it :)

Great tutorial, but i can't seem to figure out where the "constant" setting for the opacity map is on CS5. The closest thing I can find is "origin constant" which leaves the screen black the entire time.. Please help me.
