You can find a project file here: http://www.mediafire.com/?tmctmjdyolz

It's quite annoying that I cant find it on the website. I got this by searching for "Sure Target.aep" on google.

02/14/2013

Hello!!!! I'd like to say this video was very helpful, but I'm having a problem since I didn't see you steps to insert more text after "auto rotate". I would like to know how I transition my text to rest for a little while to read because my "auto rotate" moves right away into "fall off" and i just want it to stop for a sec then spin off. I also want to know how to transition each new text layer to behave the same as it's previous layers. Please help! Thank you!

How do I get my hands on the project file? I clicked to download the project but it only gave me the presets. I'd love to get the background and particles.

05/14/2012

Where can i get the background please?

05/23/2012

I need to know how to make the background first.

Please, help !

05/13/2012

When I apply the T1 and T2 effects, the sure target text jumps to the right, across the composition frame. I can't move it back to the middle of the composition area.

05/06/2012

sorry, but the presset of suretarget don't do anything for rotate automaticly how you say at the video.

02/01/2012

I'm having trouble.
As soon as I apply the T1 and T2 effects at 3:06. My text jumps to the right, across the composition frame. I can't move my text back to the middle of the composition area.

I've tried clicking on the null object, then P key, then changing the positioning. The positioning is pink and fixed.

Also, when I apply the SureTarget: slider. The Slider goes diagonally automatically.

I've replayed this tutorial over and over to see what I may have missed. But, I'm doing everything he's doing.

Help please :)

03/29/2012

Did you make sure to make the null and target 3D before using sure target?

12/21/2011

Where can i get the background please?

04/21/2012

Andrew the auto rotate feature is not working at all for me could you help me?

06/01/2011

After I put the text layers on the TARGET LAYERS (Sure Target text to Target 1, Auto Rotate text to Target 2 ) on the Null layer, I then set my keyframes on Sure Target to 1 and then a second later to 2 but the text layers don't reposition on keyframe 2 as in the video. What am I missing?

The Sure Target effect is on the Null layer and camera linked to Sure Target.

05/24/2011

Hello Andrew, or someone who could help me.

I got a problems when i put the sure target preset on the null object, it show me a error that the SLIDER there is no.

oh btw u r the best

03/31/2011

Daddy Kramer, you tutorials are just CLASS. your a legend in the making my man. Thank you so much!

03/29/2011

Andrew, thanks to share to us, simple humans, your wisdom and millenary knowledge! (n_n)

I was trying to fix the autorotate feature that wasn't working for me (and for some other guys in this post too) so the way to fix it IS deleting your comp, creating it again and making sure all your layers are 3D (including the NULL) before applying it.

Cheers!

03/23/2012

To fix the auto rotation problem, you do not need to delete the whole comp as alikabli@yahoo.com said.

For me it worked to only delete the null targe (with SureTarget). Then recreate a null object and MAKE SURE ITS A 3D LAYER (along with everything else beside the background) before adding the SureTarget effect. Then just do as Andrew said in the tutorial.

Hope this helps someone with this problem.

03/23/2011

Hey VideoCopilot iv'e been trying to do this effect and i can't seem to get it right! now I knew if I asked you, you would be able do a tutorial or maybe just give us a email. This effect is where a square goes around the video then locks on to something and flashes basically like a target locator, if you can help that would be great!!

-zCloudehh (Love all your tutorials)

Please let me know ASAP... Thanks.

01/11/2011

Hello, I have began using your tutorials a few days ago, but I have encountered a problem. I have used your tutorials that are published using Adobe After Effects Cs3, while I primarily use Cs5. I have not found too many problems except for one when you open the effect options between "reset" and "About," there are is no "options" link there for Adobe After Effects cs5. Thanks! Please respond soon!

03/06/2011

I'm having the same problem really can't figure out a way around it.

01/10/2011

12/01/2010

Hello sir realy u r the best

11/18/2010

@Kamil, it's probably because your changing the ORIENTATION of the object/text, and not the rotation, very easy mistake, happened to me for a while. Go into the layer and adjust the ROTATION.

11/16/2010

Hey whenever i click the check on auto rotate it never rotates.
thanks for your dedicated work on this website it helps alot.
Thanks, Kamil

10/30/2010

Hi andrew!
im a big fan like everyone here, i love your animations and have bought some of your stuff. everything that i try works great and yea. but i still got a small problem. when i am finished with my animations i cant find any sounds. its ok with explosions and gun shots. but in this toturial i cant find any "swish" sounds. when the camera moves fast and every thing gets blury. it would be cool with a swosh sound. you know, air passing the camera fast. is it any sites that you use or do you got a produckt?

looking for a anserv :)

Hi Andrew!
You are awesome dude!
I have the Rodrigo's same problem.
I try to do this tutorial many times step by step carefully but, I have the same problem with the preset Sure Target 1.5.1 because doesn't work in my computer.
I work on iMac 21.5", Intel Core Duo 64 bits, 4Gb RAM and After Effects CS4.
Thanks a lot for this amazing stuff!

10/22/2010

Hey Andrew, I am really loving your tutorials and I would like to make a request. Do you think you can make a tutorial on how to make your particle background like the ones in 'Sure Target'. I've been trying to make it but i've been failing so do you think you can make a tutorial?

Thanks,

Kind Regards,

Mikhael Wijaya

10/22/2010

07/31/2010

thanks very much and can u pls explain how u created bg for this

07/28/2010

Dear Andrew
I am working as an video editor but you made me love after effect
thank you so much for your effort and waiting for more

07/11/2010

I got the same bug as that last comment. I think I narrowed it down a little though. If you place your items in 3d space before you apply the camera and null (and sure target to the null) then it all goes well - as per the video. If you however, have the camera, null and sure target already applied, create a new item and rotate it in custom view before applying it to sure target - it only follows position and z rotation. X and Y are ignored. Not sure why and it doesn't occur 100% of the time.

Solution. Delete Null and Camera. Remove Rotation from problematic angles. Re-apply camera and null, link them to your suretargets (including your new one)- then change your rotation. For some reason this order works no problem - apply suretarget and THEN rotate. Watch the camera in custom view to make sure.

07/07/2010

I have some bug, he only focus on the layer's zrotation if i edit the x rotation or y rotation he ignores it and the camara doesnt move infront the layer

07/01/2010

What makes the particles kinda lined up when the camera move to another location?

06/27/2010

your a true legend man, thanks so much for all the tutorials u have created and all the time you've put into them, they are soooo helpful for a beginner like me, keep up the excellent work PLEASE!!!!

o wow I'm stupid. if you look at the energetic tiles tutorial, it explains how to make the background.

03/29/2010

i was also wondering where to get the background, but i think i might now how to make it. i think you just make a particle layer using the particle world plug-in then put it over an orange background.

03/27/2010

Thanks a million, Andrew!..Ground breaking!

03/22/2010

Guys,

Can you use pictures instead of inputting text? or is there another way to do it? I am working a project for school that involves only pictures!

A special thanks to Andrew for making things easy to understand, especially for beginners like me !

03/18/2010

Andrew you are huge man! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'd like to ask if I can use this Presets at movies layers as at titles layers. I ask sorry again about my Eglish.You are the Best of the Best.
