I reached the point where you add the Starglow but here in my case the effect doesn't do anything on the "Particular" layer whatsoever. This is very strange. Why is that ?

It doesn`t work for me with the expressions in AE CC 2014
The particles are generated even the slider control speed isn`t above 500.

Do i have to change the expressions for the new version? Thanks for the great tutorial!!

I know this tutorial is quite a bit before Element was invented, but could you link the position of the particles to the x,y and z rotation and movements of the 3D objects in element? If so, what would be the best expression to use for that?

That's what makes VC tutorials so awesome. He isn't one of those, "ok pull this leve, then push this button, blah, blah, blah." He teaches the reason behind it, what pulling those levers is actually doing, and puts you in a more of now that you've learned this, you know how to apply it to your own work kind of mentality. I learned more in a year from this guy than 10 years of watching other tuts. His format, style of teaching, and outside the box mentality is why VC is the best.

Pleas stop making so many jokes. They are not funny and that's not why people are watching this. I appreciate the fact that you are making these videos but I just don't like the jokes. I'll watch something else if I want to laugh.
D1g1K1d
14 years ago
the jokes are *exactly* why i, along with most others, watch these tutorials. i have stopped tutorials on other websites halfway thru- sacrificing what i'm sure was valuable information- due to the fact they were so dry and tedious. i just can't stand listening to someone who sounds like ben stein on an eye drop commercial telling me to make 47 new solids in a 6 minute video. the jokes give these tutorials life, make them fun, and the result is i learn more because i'm actually *enjoying* the experience. keep at it, andrew. ignore the nay-sayers. you rock.

p.s. the jokes are *mostly* funny
Alex M
14 years ago
Yeah I definitely agree with D1g1Kd, its much better than someone who just mumbles as they go on. Most videos I fall asleep halfway through just listening but these are actually entertaining. I don't get how you could actually be annoyed by the jokes, its not as if he's making the worlds stupidest jokes or anything like that.

Hi! Another Great tutorial! amazing!

But I have a problem...
I'm trying to aply this technique not on a text, but on a Rectangular solid... The problem is that the anchor point of the solid is at the bottom of it...and when I try to link the movement of rotation of the solid, with the rotation of the particular effect, it doesn't rotates right, becouse the anchor point of the particular effect is at middle of the emission of particular....

I hope we can resolve it! thanks for everything
Devin
14 years ago
You can use the pan behind tool to move the anchor point to the center of the solid and that should fix your problem.
Dalton Dal Ponte

I'm from brazil and I video copilot is the best site to improve our skills on AE! Thanks for all tutorials and tips!...

I just have a little problem to resolve...I'd like to do this tutorial, but not with a object being moved by it's POSITION, instead, I want a Rectangular object doing a 360 degree movement...with the anchor point at the bottom of it...

The problem is that the Trapcode particular doesn't have option to change the position of the anchor point... and when I link the Z Rotation of particular with Z rotation of the rectangular.... Thanks !

Okay, so, if you want to get the products to work in after effects, they don't just magically appear. What you do, is when you open after effects, go to "File," then click on "Import." Now, find the folder with your things (Riot Gear, Evolution) and click on the button labelled "Import Folder." Now your set and can drag the things into the comp. Audio is the same as video except you can't see it. Hope this was helpful!

Jamie3T
15 years ago
@ Dboy - You may not be able to see the particles because your timer is at 0. Scrub across the timeline to see your particles. This is because at 0, nothing has yet been emitted.

Hope this helps.

P.s, the English by some people on this website is terrible!

This effect just gets me really angry. When I click away sometimes, or I go to edit something (and I KNOW I didn't click on something that I wasn't supposed to), the particles don't emit anymore. So forget this effect. But overall, good job creating it. 4*s.

Thanks for showing us this technique. A cool thing I found to add, is if you put the text in the center of the frame, and have the particles die off before they reach the edge, you can precompose the layers and add some nice secondary motion by animating the position of the precomp. I've got a 4 word line of text where each word has this effect on it, and they all start out in the center of the line and grow out.

So I can't figure out the dimensions that I need for my box around the text. Just wondering if you could help me out a bit. Maybe give me some ideas of where I went wrong or things that I need to change so that way I can see the particles. Thank you and have a nice day.

I am not a pro, but I think this is a great turorial, except for one thing. That he is using that trapcode>particular effect even though it is not standard and you have to purchase it. I have tried using particle world, as he mentions, but he doesn't say how to use it, and I think, it is comletely different from the other effect, and I would be very grateful, if he showed how to use that effect in this tutorial...THANKS

Ivan beat me to it, but yep he's right. This is the same effect used in Alien Vs Predator. I was watching the intro for the AVP on xbox live and had to do a double take. Your influence is everywhere man! Keep it up!

Hahahaha... I love your jokes Andrew, really cracks me up and cracks the ice in your tutorials. Can I ask, although I have a feeling I wont get an answer on this anyway, is there a good reason for choosing the D1 square pixel as a 'standard' for some of your tutorials? Or just a personal preference?

Thanks Andrew

Been watching your tut for awhile. awesome stuff. I notice more and more of TV effects that I have seen now on TV are like yours. The recent one was the UFC103. Seems like the speed particle here. Wondering if you made that for them or someone else. Saw it than I thought to myself."wait a minute" that's one of andrew's effect made in 2008. Props to all your work in the business.

You know, on the
"S=thisComp.layer("Text&quot.transform.position.speed;
if(S>370)
{29*S;
}else{0;
}" Expression, you can just type
"S=thisComp.layer("Text&quot.transform.position.speed;
if(S>370){29*S;}else{0;}"
Saves a lot of space.. =/

Anyways, Thanx for the tut, Andrew, I was thinking if there was an "If... else..." expression, Now I can keyframe things a lot lot easier
Youre the best!!

Nick

Hey AK, this is my first post but I have been watching you tutorials for a week now, I just finished watching ALL of them. Something cool you can do with this effect is have the particles come on as the camera moves. Depending on the speed of the camera as it flies around in a title sequence the particles can come on and leave a streak from where the camera was to where it is going...just a thought...

Mr Particles

This totally rocks!

The only thing I'm wondering is how to move the text around. The expressions lock up the camera position, so you can fly the camera around. So how do you fly the camera around the text after the first particle effects happens? Does anyone know what I mean?

Thanks again for an awesome tutorial.

Dear Andrew,
These are some great tutorials and by watching them i have leanred more about after effects than i have just through tinkering. They provide indepth information and at sometimes the good laugh.
I just have one concern.
I know you are trying to sell your products and all but it would be greatly appriciated if you sticked to the built in components of after effects as much as possible.

Awesome tutorial. I really like this effect. I noticed that if you don't precompose the text then the particle emmiter doesn't line up with the text properly. Although you can add the difference in position to the appropriate expression but you get into trouble again if you do the text rotation. Easier to pre-compose. =]

BlackHawk: You can read about it in the Contact > F.A.Q. section.


What type of computer do you record your tutorials with?

Dual quad-core Xeon @ 3 Ghz. 4 gigs of ram and a raptor drive and a Geforce 8800 GTX. Before that I used a custom built Intel Core 2 Duo 6800 Extreme Processor with 2GBs of DDR2 Ram and a Geforce 7950 GX2 as well as a 150GB 10k Raptor Hard Drive. For the early tutorials I used an Athlon X2 4200 with 2GBs of Ram and Geforce 7800 GT and a 74GB 10k Raptor Drive.

Amazing, I had no idea you could manipulate particles like that in After Effects.
I only have experience in Adobe Premiere and a lot of 3d software, I watched 4 of your tutorials now i'm very comfortable in this software.
Great Work!!
Thank you

You know Andrew, there's a lot more to learn from your tutorials than meets the eye. For instance, I learned about pressing U to show animated variables as well as control clicking to change keyframe types both from this tutorial and those alone greatly speed up my workflow. I can't thank you enough, but I hope my future purchase of some of your products will make do.

Andrew Kramer you rock! your humor is awesome. i always laugh. this tutorial was especially funny. I think my favorite drew k joke was in the 3d sparks title tutorial about HAVING to get thrown out of those place your friends won't take you to. i laugh every time even though i'm expecting it.
thank you for all of your efforts.

Hey, great work you guys.
I saw your website a few days ago and i'm already a big fan of yours.
I made my personal intro based on your tutorial of video copilot turning into particles, it's great, but there's a red cross that appears in the middle of the screen. It's from the particular layer I think.
How can I shut it down? Even after exporting to .avi it steal remains there...
Another question, when I export that video to .avi in the best quality it doesn't have so much quality in the .avi file. It's a litle pixelized. What's your suggestion?
Thanks, Great Work!

Helpful tutorial as always. Here it is wrapped in a bunch of other stuff I bought from VC.
http://www.markwesleyproductions.co.uk/mwpmenu/mwp.html

I've set it up as a DVD Menu BG. All elements come from VC. Water effect is 3 layers of ink flows from Riot Gear with shine. Animated arrows from Evolution point to speed effect event revealing the MWP logo. Grunge texture from Riot Gear. Sound FX from VC SFX collection.

So, thanks Andrew. Your stuff works!

It can be done with AE's default particle system (I have done it) If I get a chance I'll upload the project (CS3) somewhere so you can see what the settings are.

It's not 100% perfectly replicated, but it works and looks good still.

Thanks Andrew.

It seems to me that Particular reacts to the audio peak a frame too late... so I pre-compose the comp, turn off the audio in the pre-comp, re-add the audio track and slip it forward a frame... this way the visual matches the beat perfectly.

Vagyne,

Please be respectful. Keep in mind that the all tutorials are not only excellent, they are free.

Videocopilot has turned this site into a community, and through the graciousness of VideoCopilot all are welcome. The more that contribute in a positive way to the site the better it will come.

But Andrew and his crew could easily make this a subscription site. It's never a good idea to belittle your host, then in the same sentence ask for more free stuff.
amerie

hey, could you tell us earlier, wheather a plug-in is required or not? I love your tutorials, but this time I was quarter through when I realized that you're using the Particular Plugin, which I don't have, so I could throw my composition and the time elapsed away, just beacause you couldn't tell me in the first place...

If you add this to your list, the tutorials are just awesome!

Definitly I dont work without it, the best particle engine for AE worth the cash if you use it, having said that sometime depending on project cost and time CC particle world (inbuilt with AE) with a few tweaks and expressions can be made to do great things as well.

good luck everyone.

I had the same thought as Peter (way above) that using acceleration rather than speed to drive the emitting could be useful. Can you think of a way to do that?

In Windows, look under edit, preferences, user interface colors. In Mac, under After Effects, preferences, user interface colors, I believe.

Go to the Edit > Preferences > User Interface Colours

Then just slide the Brightness control down

Hope this helps....

Nice tutorial. I'm trying to learn so I can use it for some of my club's presentation. But there is some problem I always encounter. The expressions I type keep "breaking up". The particular suddenly stops following the expression and keeps emitting particles. Then I have to retype it again. Then breaks up again. HOw can i solve this?

Brillant idea!
This can be used to do some really nice effects on spatial engine gaining speed and when they reach a certain speed they start emiting partciles and changing their aspect.
Talking about speed, guyz look at the speed at it Andrew is manipulating and working with AE tools and the smart youse of shortcuts keyboard.
I need 35 years to become like you
Great Job! And thanks again Andrew!

wow your humour has reached an all time new level..

first at the expense of starbucks employees, then insulting coders

What has caused this sudden turn of humour?

I still love you deeply though

Great stuff as usual! But wouldn't it be more physically accurate to use the actual acceleration of the layer to drive the emission rate of the particles, rather than checking if the speed exceeds a certain value?

I haven't used AE much yet, but if it doesn't offer an easy expression to obtain the acceleration (like "layer.position.acceleration" or something like that), you could easily approximate it by subtracting the speed at the previous frame from the speed at the current frame.

This tut, and the previous ones, was one of the ebst tutorials I've seen on VCP

Just a tip to you and/or the viewers.

If you're tired of the wiggle effect. Try using Motion sketch!
Motion sketch can either capture the movement of your mouse, or you can pickwhip a real-footage that is tracked, to the motion sketch null, and voila! YOu've got reallife movement!!

I call them braces. Or curly braces, if I'm feeling descriptive.

hai krammer, after a long time i'am visiting your page

still your blog looks too young, with fresh contents...thank

A suggestion to krammer...just collect the most astonishing scenes from the vfx movies and just give ideas and way to implement the vfx shots to us..
u could run this site as a new blog..i'am trying to implement this.. if so i would tell you..but such a blog from a master like u would be more usefull to the vfx artists..

thanks kramer
