• Sure Target has been updated with several new features
• 3D Falloff preset also updated to use with Sure Target
TUTORIAL NOTES:
Before applying Sure Target 1.5, the Null and Target must be 3D first. Auto-Rotate feature is tied to the rotation of a layer but not the orientation. Please manually adjust the XYZ rotation in the transform settings for each layer by hitting R.

337 RESPONSES TO "PRESETS & MORE" by Doogle 11/05/2009 Hi, I've been working through this tutorial as I'm wanting to use this effect for a DVD menu, but the AutoRotate only effected the Z axis. I had to copy and paste the code onto the X and Y rotations and modify the properties a little to get it to work, is this a known problem? by mango 11/02/2009 Thanks Andrew. by Bernis 10/14/2009 Nice great stuff! dramatic time spend!!!! by Reno 10/02/2009 He's talking about the Comp from the previous tutorial (#82) Louis. By missing settings, the only thing that would be missing is Sure Target settings if you have an older version of Sure Target installed. Everything else is standard. by Louis Lienhøft 09/30/2009 i don't get it.. i do exactly what you are doing in this tut, but suddenly you use things from "the previous comp", but we didn't make another comp! and you use some settings that i don't have.. i don't get it... by VeeMAX 09/28/2009 This is awesome..

I have just got action essentals, impressed ass hell! Hope you make many more tutorials, I'm the only one in my class that knows after effects, they are shocked.. I'm not gonna tell them where I learned it x) Thanks from Sweden! by sman118 09/06/2009 For anyone that was having trouble with the auto-rotate (like i was for hours) "ngambles" on the forum pointed out that the null object must be a 3d layer before you apply the sure target to it. He is my new hero. Hope that helps people like it helped me. by der tobi 09/01/2009 @ cayle, about the particles watch this: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/energetic_titles/ by David 08/31/2009 omg !!! your freaking asume andrew is the freaking man in the town !! by josue 08/30/2009 hey guys im making all the steps but i jus cant get de autorotate to actually rotate i activate it an it just keep the same.. dont rotate.. can someone help me... appreciate da tut by Cayle 08/28/2009 Can you or anyone explain to me how you make particles freeze so that you can do cool camera motions and so that the particles fly around the camera and stuff? by julio 08/26/2009 thanks for teching after effects by Atena 08/24/2009 where can i take this 2 back grounds of this tutorial ? by Muhammad Zubair 08/22/2009 thanks yaar this website can solve my all problems.Thanks for teching after effects by Timmah 08/21/2009 Mr Kramer..

How it the download ??? by tobi 06/15/2009 There is a problem with the German version. The check box under the easetargets-option is called "Kontrollkästchen" there, but somehow int the expressions the a-Umlaut in that word was replaced by the "per-mille-character" (‰). So this has to be manually fixed once in the expression at "Position" and twice in the expressions at "X-Drehung", "Y-Drehung" and "Z-Drehung". But after that it works fine, thanks! by jetpogi 06/15/2009 nice! thanks a lot andrew! by Everett Bowes 06/11/2009 Andrew- Your tutorials are a key learning tool to so many! Please keep up the quality work. Bro- for some reason I can't get the auto-rotate feature to work. I'm using AE CS4 on a Mac. Man, I can't figure out what the problem is! Any help?

Regards from Torreon Mexico by Edi 05/17/2009 Andrew your work is soooooo great. I was about to purchase book teaching AE, but with your tutorials I may not need it. Greetings from Japan by caicai 05/12/2009 So good, man! I'm stoked! by HaLo2FrEeEk 05/11/2009 Hey man, great tutorials, great preset. I love that you make this stuff free! One thing, though, I've noticed what seems to be a bug, or maybe it's just me. I'm following the original SureTarget tutorial but I'm using the new version of the preset and for whatever reason when I set the keyframes to Easy Ease (not using the EaseTargets checkbox, but regular AE easy ease) between the first and second keyframe (which are both set to 1) the position of the null jumps from my text's position back to the center of the comp. It does this every few frames and only lasts 1 or 2 frames, so it's like this quick jump effect and I don't like it. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please, any help would be appreciated. by Neo 05/07/2009 I love your tutorials Thanks Andrew, u r great :D from El Salvador by ARTURO 05/05/2009 Hi ! , when i do these tutorial ,Andrew i do the same ass you but, i trow a preview , no works but when rendering the composition d assent work the preset sure target works ? or is broken ? by Altaf 04/24/2009 hey buddy its me well good going andrew i hope in future you gonna show some more realistic tutorials this is not good but we can make it perfect. by Cam Kashef 04/24/2009 Hey Marc Samir, you have to modify the anchor point of the null not the text. just select the null/transform/anchor point and mess around with that until you find something you like. Hope that helps :) by underdogontop 04/20/2009 If I'm the Fat Kid, you're the cake.. I love this stuff! Thanks! by Marc Samir 04/18/2009 Hey man thanks for the wonderful tutorials I have a little problem, I am using AE CS4 and when i apply the ST 1.5.1 to the Null object and define the first 2 targets as un the tutorial, the words go out of the scene and when i try to move them back to scene only one of them is movable but the other one can't move, all the layers is 3D. what is the solution to this problem? by mark sanchez 04/13/2009 hi andrew... ehhehhehe,, tnx for this tutorial, i will make this tutorial f0r my new seas0n f0r Big Brother... greetings from philippines(mindanao) by simran 04/13/2009 thnku ......... u r GREAT by Chris 04/10/2009 Amazing! Anywhere else a step down from this would cost hundreds (not very appealing for a student), but you've done it free!! Thanks so much Andrew and all of video co-pilot!! by classpee 04/06/2009 Andrew you are simply the best of the best...since I found this site my interest in after effects has soard beyond limitations.

Great Tutorial! Here's one for you: I'm trying to set out some layers in 3D space, then, using Suretarget, fly between them. so I used 3D assistants to distribute my layers, only to find out that auto-rotate doesn't work! After a little tought, I realized that it's auto ROTATE not auto ORIENT! Here's the question: Is there a script or expression to convert orientation to rotation and/or vice versa? Thanks, Colin by Chris 03/30/2009 Man... this is awesome. Andrew, i love you :) by Frank 03/26/2009 So I've tried it again... now it works :) by Frank 03/26/2009 hi Andrew, Im trying the sureTarget preset .. but it isnt working ok. When I select T1 then T2, T3, .. get the same name... as T1. I dont see this happening in your tut.video. This makes the Null object move while tweening between two compositions. Also the auto rotate doesnt work for me.. Im working with AE CS3. by Armor 03/26/2009 No Andrew, you are simply so smart! Those presets save me a lot of time. Actualy a bit broke But i will support by buyng your product soon.

I'm a beginner and your tutorials really really help. My question is how do you install this preset that I am commenting on? I have a macintosh. I have After Effects CS4. Your tutorial, shows how to do it for a PC. I put the "video copilot" folder in my Adobe Bridge, inside the "presets" folder, but when I open up CS4 it doesn't show in the "effects and presets" area. Therefore, I cannot apple the "SureTarget" effect. Any recommendations?
