what should i do to replace the "GRID" text with a logo.i have no experience working with after effects.i am just a student working on a project and wants to make a video trailer for my project.

Hey man! So assuming you have precomposed the text layer and are using a text precomp in your main comp, just replace the text layer in the text precomp with your logo. Of you want the same effect as shown here, make sure your logo is simple and has defining lines. So you remove the fill, boost the stroke and voila!

Any Germans watching? The effect for "Solid Composite" is called "Kombination mit Farbfläche"

Hi Andrew,
I get stuck at 4:25 into the tutorial.
-In the graph editor, you're able to pull the bezier handle down - but I cannot - my bezier handle will only extend or retract to the right and left. This keeps me from creating the same curve you make.
How are you able to pull the bezier handle down?

I've watched 2 other tutorials on the graph editor and they're able to pull the handles up or down also - but for some reason I cannot.

I made some experiment on Adv.Light.FX. However I couldn't achive a stable end-frame on the spooky spider thing, here are some settings and results.
They are causes different FX depengin on each other.

Core Drain [0%] - High Density of lines, [100%] - Low Density,

Turbulence [1] - Almost straight lines (Road map like), [2-10] - Messy Lines (City map like),

Decay [3] - Shows just the origin point and nearest light, [0,01] - Shows the whole lightning to the end point,

Complexity [1] - From point to point lines, [5] - From point to every direction, large radius, [10] - From point to every direction, very small radius,

Min.Fork.Distance (Inverted by Core Drain) [8] - High density lines, [100-700] - Still high density, [800] - Lower density lines,

Forking [0%-49%] - One line or few ( Road map like ), [50%-100%] - From one line to high density lines ( City map like ),

Core Radius [0] - Low opacity, [1] - Normal, [2-3+] - Brighter Lines,

and in the end I achived a Square-like result with these settings:
Conduct.3.,C.Radius.4.,Complex.3.,Turb.3.,Min.Fork.Dist.800.

Still have the "jumping issue", where the animated lighting switches it's position back-and-forth, like real lightning (looks like a re-draw effect) - but I want to avoid it in this case.

Hi, Just what i was looking for but when I copy the Advanced Lightning and paste it to the Grid layer (Alpha Obstacle part of the video) I cannot move around the text it remains fixed to it, same with the duplicates of it. I have tried to find a way around this but no luck! Could you enlighten me please?

ian

Use the Origin and Direction points to adjust position. The moving of the layer will move the whole system (FX+Text) together. And don't forget to select a preffered point on the timeline (Animated decay must be on low amount.)

First of all, Thank You for all the knowledge you share with us!! You are awesome!!

My question is:
After creating all the instances of the lightning effect and "composite on original" on the Title Text layer for the title scene and layering them in z space... When I move my camera around, all the instances jump around and are not static like in your end title scene. What is the cause of this and how do I resolve it so that it stays still to achieve that nice camera pull out to end on the title? You had mentioned that the alpha effects the lightning. So how do I deal with that?

I hope that made sense. I've done this tutorial a few times and seem to run into this issue each time.
Thanks!
Koppány

I have done the GRID Tutorial at least a dozen times. But your preview of the tutorial has camera work and also many layers zooming thru like flying thru various depths of field. Also some mirroring of layers. Can you post the orig template file or do a quick walk thru on how you did it? The finishing is a big part, would love to watch and learn how it was done.

For some reason when I get to the part where you duplicate the layers over and over to make each pattern different, the offset never goes smoothly for me. The patter is not there, and then it just pops in instead of smoothly growing in. Any suggestions?

On another note, I need some quick advise. I'm attempting to do another video based on the effects of "The Grid", but when I try to render "Digital Growth", my render output always ends up different from my preview. It's really making things tough for me, and I would really appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks. Cheers!

Thanks for you work, Andrew, from you I learned alot about AE... And still, there are some thing that I think even professionals can't fix, bugs/glitches, like my Adv.Lightning?

When I animate Decay, some random wild forks start to pop and disappear, flickering. I tried a new comp, I was really carefuly with what I modify, and still, it behaves like that. Even if in official documentation it said to be a non-Auto-Animating effect. Using CS6, any ideeas?

Hello Andrew !

I just wanted to tell you that your tutorials are being watched in France...Crazy hein ?!!!
You are very good, I learn a lot thanks to you and won't be able to thank you enough... I could send you some wine if you give me your adress

Anyway, thank you ! and great Tutorials ! And by the way, I love your introductions at the beginning of your tutos...

I just have a simple question for you :
In the presentation of the effect between 21 secs and 36 secs of your tutorial we can see three scenes...

1) between 24 secs and 27 secs
2) between 27 secs 31 secs
3) 31 secs to the end of the sequence

My question is : How did you manage to create different scene ? Did you render 3 after effects videos and use another software to create the final one (like Adobe Premiere) ?

Salut à toi !

En effet, ses vidéos sont regardées en France !

Je ne sais pas comment Andrew fait mais je vais te dire comment moi je fais.

J'utilise 2 caméra avec différents angles et je coupe le calque caméra à la fin de mon premier travelling, par exemple, pour enchaîner avec la scène 2 de la seconde caméra et ainsi de suite avec autant de caméra que tu veux, tout ça dans le même projet sans quitter AE.

N'hésites pas à venir checker ma chaine Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/user/FasioProd je fais des vidéos uniquement avec AE et Element 3D.

N'hésite pas si as des questions.

Salut Fasio !

Cool de voir un autre Français ici !
En tout cas, merci pour ton conseil, je n'y avais pas pensé et je trouve que c'est une superbe idée !
Merci à toi !

For non French speakers : The answer to my question was to use several cameras and cut the layer after the end of the scene and start with the other camera... Great tip !

Hey Andrew, it's a very fantastic toutorial! It show's how powerfull the elementry effects of AE could be, when somebody like you is going under the surface and plays around with them.
Thank's a lot

Great tutorial as always, AK. The depth of field effect with the camera really sells the overall look of the project. I've always wondered, though, would it be possible to add some shadow effects to a similar (but brighter lit) project?

Thanks again!
