thousand thanks to you andrew.

Mr. Kramer,
I just want to personally thank you.
I love what you provide with your knowledge and wit. I even dropped some cash on your products, as a sign of appreciation. The Sound Effects Kit, The Action Essentials 2, and Riot Gear. Worth every penny.

I've watched nearly all your tutorials, some more than once, and just can't get enough.

Thank you sincerely. You're doing a great thing for those of us who'd rather educate themselves than tune out to crappy cable. Moreover, I'm constantly entertained while learning, and what a delight that is.

Thanks again!

-DJ

I loved the particle Explosion but i got stuck around the middle!
I was wondering... What was the Expression you said?
Please email me the answer!
Thanks!

by Pyro 12/10/2009
I have suggestion. You should list every plugin and thing your going to use at the very beginning, that way those of us who dont have certain plugins like Particular can steer clear of these tuts.

Thanks Andrew,
You're the Master of AE.
your pages are very helpful.
May i call you " Andrew Kramer the Great"
by Dorfman 10/24/2009
The only thing I don't like about these tuts is when I get nearly all the way through them and then you say "now use this 3rd party plug-in that costs another $499, the rest of the project crucially depends on it." The other thing is that I guess this is in CS4 and I didn't know that until I couldn't find Resistance in the Particle attributes and then Textured Quadpolygon.

Still they are great and I love them, I just usually can't finish them and end in frustration.
by Daniel 10/23/2009
Nice tutorial, as always. hope you never stop making them. or until I get tierd of after effects (:
by Thiago 10/23/2009

hey Diego, you need to precompose de logo onto a bigger comp, or apply an effect call "grow bounds" befor the pixel poly effect
by Diego 10/15/2009
Hi! nice tut!
I´m traing to do your tut, but with a logo in png, not with tipographic. The trouble is when i use de CC pixel, because the explosion end in the limit of the logo. I mean, the explosion dont reach de margen of the composition. I hope you can understand my english.
Do you know why?
thanks a lot!

Great tutorial but I was wondering is there an easy way to change the text. I've got 8 modules that I want to use this effect in but they are all different titles. I don't really want to recreate the whole thing each time.

Please help.
