I like your videos, don't get me wrong. But the problem is that you said "Decepticons" as the soul suckers in Harry Potter. They are actually called "Dementors". I just wanted to let you know.

When I put the "Energy Comp" on Screen Mode I can barely see it, it's very light blue and i only see the very wide line. Why is that?

You are using a newer version of AE. Just activate the motion blur for the layer and the comp.

I used to cry to because Andrew Kramer is THE VFX God! It's hard to look at these tutorials while he performs his miracles! I learned that I could pause the video and go back a few seconds until I got the technique right. You can do it! And at night, before you go to bed, be sure to ask Andrew Kramer to bless you with the skills and patience to do his tutorials.

Eric

They moved all the options into the effects panel. When he enables the blur in the render settings, just click on your motion blur for layer and also enable your comp motion blur, it will have the same effect.

Search video copilot presets on YouTube. There are about 10 videos there to teach you how to load and use the presets. Better yet, copy/paste this link in your browser: https://youtu.be/WCBWZtLONTs

I really love your tutorials BUT i'm pretty frustrated with this one. I'm using CS5 and I CANNOT find where the "Options-Rendering-Force Motionblur" is. I know it's somewhere in the program in a different area, just dont know where. I even tried doing what one of the previous comments on here suggested. I don't know what they where talking about.....where is this "Energy Layer" they speak of???Lol PLEASE HELP!!!
Aleks paitoon

@VFX Help I also have the same probelm but try this !
(I use MAC, so I don´t know if it´s the same in PC)
- if you look at your timeline, and a alittle bit above it on left side. You´ll find the symbol of mothion blur ! So click on it!
-then in the energy layer, just enable the motion blur on it !

Done !

I believe you're referring to the 'Options' in CC Particle World? The 'Options' panel has been removed in the latest version. You can just toggle Motion Blur on your comp track instead.

It sucks that you cant scrub through this video, every time I try it just restarts the video. Some one mentioned that downloading the tut would help but it doesn't for me because when I go to extract the zipped folder it tells me that the folder is invalid and will not let me go any further. Can anyone help with this problem?
Either way I will make it work because I love these tutorials, just finished the shatterize one and it turned out really cool, I can't wait to pair it with this energy wipe!

Hey so in cs5 my cc particle effect background is white...makes it really hard to see the particles...anyone know how to change this?...Also cant find the options tab...how do i turn on motion blur??
Barney
14 years ago
As I don't have CS5 (still using 32 bit Windows), the only thing I can suggest is putting a black solid behind it, and setting the particle effect layer to screen, so the white background disappears and you can use the solid as a background.

Something is wrong with the player. I can skip to what ever part i want or go back to what ever part i want simply by clicking on it in that time line thing on the bottom of the video copilot player in any tutorial except for that one. Whenever I click any where on that time line thing the video just starts from the beginning.

First of all, I salute you Mr. Kramer. Feels like I learned AE in just 1 day ...which I did...

And to all who are STILL complainging about the force motion blur (inculding me for about 10 minutes until I actually looked -_-)

1. Turn on motion blur on your layers.
2. Create an Adjustment Layer (Layer>New>Adjustment Layer)
3. Put it over the layers you want.
5. Effect>Time>CC Motion Blur
4. PLAY WITH THE DAMN SAMPLING AND STOP COMPLAING.

Thank you for your time.

Hello, Andrew!

First of all... LOVE your tutorials. You are amazingly talented and to be putting these tutorials up for free is exceptionally generous of you.

I have a question regarding the "Soul Removal" tutorial. I'm using CS5 and the "CC Particle World" layout is a little different. I can't find the "Option" button in order to enable the "Rendering: Motion Blur" and it's kind of essential for this technique to work.

Can you tell me where I can find it?

Thanks again!

Guys, seriously. Decepticons was clearly a joke. A moment later when he's describing them he specifically says "demented" to cue you in to the fact that he actually does know what he's talking about.

Hey, Andrew, maybe you can publish a Dry Humor Tutorial, since it's clearly lost on many of your viewers. But the videos are great. Thanks a bunch

Fantastic Tutorial Andrew.. Thanks for that and hope you had a memorable birthday with your new baby...

Any chance of you making a tutorial on a Clark Kent Style Superspeed running effect where you see someone whooooshing!!! past people and then in the next few frames it becomes ultra slow motion (with waves surrounding the running man in slow motion) soo sort of like a freeze effect (which I have seen the tutorial of) but combining the superspeed and then a freeze mode where someone runs at slow motion whilst the surroundings are frozen.

Thanks Andrew and my apologies for the long winded message..

I saw all your tutorials and I think you are the best until now in NET for VFX .
What you miss in you tutorial 2 things more important for all people who want to make ... ,

1. Glass shattered by bullets transition
Like this : http://www.artbeats.com/clips/4473/6702

2. Some thing with robotic ( half leg robot half normal ) .

If you are the best you can do it were easy .


I wish you sucess . You are the best .

Best Regards

Tony .

OMG no way! I was thinking of an idea for a short film that could have used a soul absorption like this tutorial but I figured I'd think of something else because I wasn't quite sure how to do it. Now I can! Kramer you're the best!

If you dont parent the liquify filter to the track data, it doesnt look that bad at al! i mean, if you DO parent it, it looks like his soul is comming out (which is the point of this tutorial...=S) but without it, it looks really creapy!!

thanks Andrew!

I was afraid you were going sabatical on us after that meteor impact tutorial but you made one again.

I'm a music producer and I have a song in the upcoming hollywood film "The Tournament" with Robert Carlyle and Ving Rhames. I was wondering if I could make a track for your tutorials. contact me if you like.

To be honest: To me thats the best AE-Tutorial ever!

I never learned that much in a few minutes, great use of the difference Key, expressions, masking, blendmodes, bad presidents and technomusic A Perfect ten!

One thing.. Kramer said that the difference key works not perfect, and thats right. But if you have some grainy or bad shot footage to key, the difference key often allows waaay better solutions than the standard keyers. It juste helped my out 10 minutes ago...
