How do you get the Effects and presets tab to show up? Also is it standard plugins for After Effects? I'm using Cs4 by the way.

I'm really confused!
When I created the shatter pre-comp and placed it on top of the text pre-comp, it looked exactly how it should look like, the concrete shattered down and the text was revealed. I don't know why Andrew had to go through all that stuff afterwards...

This is the kind of stuff I've been wanting to learn. Now...which packs do I need to buy for all of this? I only have the Adobe products. All of them. I don't have any 3D software like 3DMax or any of those.

Pretty cool effect, not cheap at all :D

Adjusting all the falling dust opacities at once was a terrible idea, though. Doing them separately and letting them last just for a few frames renders for a much better result and it only takes a couple of minutes.

Using a "rough" font works great too, since the inherent alpha adds perfectly to the whole crumbling effect.

This works in AE6.5 pro as well, you just have to be a little creative with the plugins you have, if you don't have all the bells and whistles you have to get a bit creative here's a link to what I created and am still working on: http://claygraphics.phase2.net/Shahnratitle.mov

Hey Andrew. I just wanted to thank you for this tutorial. I did a low grade version of this to use as the intro to my YouTube videos. You can see what it looks like on the YouTube channel TheRobertRedbeard.

It depends on the person. If you can learn easily then you will have no problem adapting to a new program but if you are technically impaired, it may take some time...

I am totally an neophyte when it comes to AE. In fact, I stumbled upon it by accident, if you can believe it. I have a question: I noticed that when you started with creating a new composition, you had already elements in your Project tab(FOOTAGE) with the necessary still pix, etc. Where do I get those elements?

Just found another use of the crumble!

pretty sweet stuff. however, I didn't like that they added an outward force to it. i think it looks better with just a straight fall.

Hey, I have a quick question. Whenever I finish editing a video and render it out, my computer really fails at playing it back. I've tried to watch it in Media Player and Quicktime but for both it lags and jumps around. I was hoping someone could help me with this. I'm using a Sony Vaio laptop with an i5 core and ATI Radeon Premium Grphics. It's also a full HD screen so I don't see the problem.
