Hi Andrew. Incredible work with those tuts.
I'm learning now, from your tuts how to work in AE, but I do have some background in 3DMax.
Question: Is it posible to make the particles to work on a path ? Isn't more easy to draw a path on X,Y,Z then asign particles to fallow path ? This is how it works in 3DMax, isn't posible here too ?
Thanks !

mister kramer i like you!! whats the reason i have started in after effects? you! i have learned alot from this amazing tutorials, (and amazing creator of tutorials) :)

Okay i have watched both tutorials and loved them... But I am wondering how you can get the light to track to a moving object... I can do it if the camera is not moving.. but i am wondering how if the camera is moving... for instance someone going down a hill... If anyone has seen the :magic flashlight video" if not here is the link... http://vimeo.com/1447460 .. Can someone help???.. Ps Andrew thanks a ton for makin the videos!

Hey, could you make a tutorial showing how to attach the light stroke to your finger using the tracking tool? That would be really cool.

Hey,

From: Afghanistan!

Great tutorial....amazing.

But i want creat simultanious many streaks... how can i do it?
i tried it but the first streak disappeared...why?

PLEASE HELP

O Tee and Edward:

I to was struggling with this - then I realised even if you adjusted the path of the particle emitter then you would still have a problem in that once the particles were drawn they would stay where there we drawn. We need to be able to move them after they already exist.

The solution - Simple

Just parent the Particle layer (the solid with particular applied to it) to a null layer which contains your tracking data. You may need the solid to be bigger than your comp now so nothing gets get of and the layer is moved with the motion track.

I also would like to know how to use this with footage that shakes a bit. It does not look good when the streak is static and the background has a slight shake. Tracking does not work because it sets the keyframes where you place your light streak keyframes.

Hi!!! I love your tutorials, I like learning myself everything I can, but I was stuck with AE for a long time, and very few people studying in Mexico have good notions of it. Probably because of you I will get a good job, haha, thanks

PUTTING THE "LIGHT STROKE BEHIND YOU"

It took me some time but I figured it out. The object that you want the particles to go around must contain a some alpha around the object. Take that object and pre-compse it. Then place the comp. under the particles layer. Under the particles effects controller and go under the Visibility tab and change the "Also Obscure with" to all.

P.S. There is NO the 3d mask

Great...awesome...tutorials.....really im ur big fan sir...and ur tutorials help me out a lot....and u r my ideal person...thnx sir

axesome

It is amazing how you teach, pretty exciting and makes wanna be an FX man.

How can i link the null object to a path? Like if i want to "write" with the light.

Thanks

ookk..forget my comment above, I just played with the "particular" options and found "Size", lol, sorry is just that I changed that one before, but didn't notice the render was still applying, this effect really takes a little render time and having some other effects in the comp, well now I understand the usefulness of "motion preview" ..except not so much for the size you don't notice that without "full render" :p, again Andrew, thx a lot for the teaching, you get that a lot, but really thank you.

Hi, awesome tutorial as always, maybe my comment is a little old, but as some other people I was wondering how to have more control over the movement, and in my case, the SIZE of the light, cause I used some motion tracking to follow a path for the light, and linking it with a Null object is perfect, but now the problem is I'm getting this tiny light, in which you had the same problem until you zoom into the Z axis...which..if I do that, or scale up the "particle" layer I loose the perfect trace in my BG footage, and that's no good..I've try linking back with an emitter, but seems I have same problems...so....any help here? thx! and keep on that nice creativity =)

Hey Andrew that was great...awesome tutorial
really liked it

I was wondering if you could create another tutorial where those light~streaks move with the camera to the next scene (not through 3D live action)

Thank you once again

Great job man, i really apreciate that you make this tutorials, thanks a lot, i'm gonna try to get your products soon.

Hello Andrew.

I was exercising trough this tutorial, and i was wondering if there's a better way to make the light streaks path more advanced. The null object is a little restrictive in doing some more fluid movements. Maybe a light streaks 3 tutotial. :D

Thanks anyway for this great tutorial.

All the best

Great tutorials..would be totally lost with out them...even beter that there all within one link..just bought some products from you..well worth the money i payed for them...any way keep up the good work and keep them tutorials coming...what matt lewenski is to photoshop you are to after effects

Thanks, though my AE crashed when I had a nice begin>.<

??????

Im using the lightstreaks to streak across streets of my city. They do it nicely but to make it more realistic it would be nice to have them glow on at what they come across. So while they go, they light up the ground and cars and such. Is this possible and how?

Thanks!

Gracias por las tutorias en esta ocacion esto es lo que exactamente necesitaba gracias
