Hey Andrew, I know you're the best. But, i want to know how to write some "code" in the timeline, and what's the function of that. I think it's too difficult. And I hope you want to give some explanation for that. Thanks!

I think you should revamp this tutorial only because the new Trapcode has gotten rid of Custom and now calls it Sprite among other things.

HEllo, I recently purchased the new Optical Flares Bundle and was watching your 'smoke screen' tutorial. I work with After Effects CS5 and can't seem to locate the 'Alpha Inverted' selection to make the initial cloud photograph transparent. My cloud is WHITE and the backround for the picture is BLACK, the opposite of what you used in the tutorial...how can I make my cloud transparent...???

try usin the 'Luma Matte' instead of the 'Luma Inverted Matte' used by Andrew in the tutorial. I have white clouds and black background too, and 'Luma Matte' seems to work to make the background transparent.

Tutorials are very useful for me. Thank You very much. I want to request something. Can I get Adobe After Effects of effects (e.g., Trapcode, Videocopilot, etc.,) free and serial number.
I'm very interesting in creating graphic design. So I'm studying very hard from Online.
Please, Your Faithfully
Thank You and God Bless You.

I love you, Like seriously. The way you teach leaves people room for alot of personalization. Much better than the project dowloads you find on youtube, with those everyones product is the same. Keep it up :)
