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

I call them braces. Or curly braces, if I'm feeling descriptive.
But who cares, right? Punctuation is for nerds.

very good Andrew, super super
by Morten Enoksen 07/20/2008
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!!
by Ellius 07/20/2008

Hey! I was watching this in a starbucks!!!. ....... ...where is my life going!?........ *sigh* .... i am a very sad man......

(Great Tut! as always top notch, thank you very much for all the time you put into the tuts.)
by Peter 07/20/2008
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.
by danny 07/20/2008
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

hey, another suggestion for using the speed expression is you could film a passenger bus and once it hits a certain speed, say 50 MPH, a bomb activates and the bus has to stay going at least 50 MPH or the bus explodes.

just an idea...

anyway, this tutorial is really cool. i'm trying to learn more about expressions so please keep it up. i love the site.
by Lthrboots 07/21/2008
This is yet another great tutorial Andrew.

Oh yeah, the "sob story" with music in the intro had me rolling on the floor....I love your sense of humor....
by Degrath 07/21/2008
@Sir Eddy: Do an ALT klick on the watch of the xy-line, then you get the expression.

by Mohamed 07/26/2008
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!

Hi Andrew
Do you give lessons in after effects? Your tutorials are great and I would realy like to understand aftereffects as good as you.

The part with the lessons was not a joke, I'm realy interessted.
by Michael 07/26/2008
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?

Andrew,

I think you should come to the Savannah College of Art and Designs inspire conference next year! I think you would really inspire a lot of us students to really dig deep into after effects and create some great work.
by Dan 07/27/2008
@ Nergas

Go to the Edit > Preferences > User Interface Colours

Then just slide the Brightness control down

Hope this helps....

Oh and Andrew Kramer sir.... yet another excellent piece of mastery.

Thanks,

Dan from across the pond

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

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?

Nice hidden joke.

by @Oscar 07/29/2008
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.

tutorial info in some of my projects where I work.
I am an editor with WJTV-TV in Jackson, MS.
Again, many thanks for sharing.
On a side note...I'm channel hopping on the local cable and hit a promo for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit show and the text effects look just like this tutorial. Has anyone else seen this promo?
by Rummy 08/07/2008
I hate Particular, when I render (Using demo mode) theres this red cross, and the text: "Demo version - Press "options" to register" ... Pretty annoying, when u wanna make a movie ...

Well anyways, Nice tut Andrew !
by Rummy 08/07/2008
Oh, one more note... Andrew, it said in your tut, that you were also using a demo version (Under preview, in the fx window)but you didn't have that red "X" and that red annoying text... It seems weird to me though! :)

Ya Rummy.. I noticed the same thing and had the same problem. Then again.. I'm gonna buy the license key, so I don't see that arrow and/or can unlock more options.

Trust me.. buying all the trapcode plugins is worth it!
by Yohanes 08/07/2008
OH MAN.. YOU ARE THE BEST !!! Love it both design and technique.. Keep rocking, and I am waiting for the 3D tracking stuff.. I believe it's gonna rock :)

dood, I Luv your tutorials but your side commentary is AWFUL, my man, you're extremely talented with technology but your not a comedian so stop it, cuz you suck at it, but keep the tutorials coming!
by jackson 08/12/2008
Awesome tutorial. One question though, there used to be a clip for time reversing this tutorial. There are very brief additional notes listed above, but any chance you might put that clip back up too?

by amerie 08/18/2008
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!

by Steve Johnston 08/18/2008
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.
by Todd 08/20/2008
F**CKING awesome!

by the I love so much

we are waiting for new such amazing effects
by temple16 09/05/2008
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.
by mannie 09/07/2008
sorry i'm french and i don't understand the "half nine" for the key frame at 6:55

Hey, this looks really awesome. I wanted to try it by myself and downloaded and installed trapcode particular demo version but when I want to use the effects it AE tells me that it could not load the plug in? Can someone please help me what to do?
by CocoWe 10/02/2008
Very Cool!!

Thanks a lot to Andrew from Germany ;)
by xxiamg0dlyxx 10/02/2008
can you make the same with cc particle world plz? and how do you get all the BG's
by Jamie Krautkremer 10/03/2008
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.

by Mark 11/05/2008
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!

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!

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.
by FuNx 11/29/2008
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.
by Dominik 11/29/2008
Great work!

And i just saw this on mtv for the mtvrookie commercial! Same effect only in blue :D
by Amanda 12/01/2008
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
by ariel 12/03/2008
your a great guy. God BLESS you and your family.
by xponential 12/04/2008
You can use a layer as an emitter instead of a box , set the layer RGB usage to RGB - size,vel,rot!!

super cool !
by kion 12/06/2008
thanx a lot man... thanx to this tut i actually got to understand expression! i did a pretty cool fx by putting that code and changing it a bit, instead of using a particle i wrote wiggle and when the speed goes up to x value the wiggle increases and for the rest the wiggle stays (0,0) :D thanx a lot keep like this!!

by John 12/16/2008
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.

by Max 01/08/2009
i cant find that tool by effects for particular,
Help?
by EdEditz 01/10/2009
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. =]
by Russley 01/10/2009
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.

by RiotManZ 01/14/2009
Hi Andrew,

just saw an MTV ad for some kind of band battle on German MTV.
Guess what, they used your speed particle effect for the whole damn thing.
looks quite nice

I can't get it to work :(. My particular always covers my TEXT and BG.
by John in Hawaii 01/16/2009
Aloha Andrew,
Wondering if you could show this tutorial again but use particle world instead of the trapcode product. I dont have it and you mentioned that it was easier with trapcode but possible with the effect native to AEcs3.

Mahalo...and keep up the great work.
John
by Volgon 01/17/2009

First of all MTV used the Speed Particles in a
AD and a small channel called "GIGA" is using Evolution elements in another one for a Homepage
Award. German TV seems to enjoy Video Copilot. xD

MEN YOU ARE AWSOME. YOUR ARE THE GOD OF THE FX...
THANK YOU...
by Mr Particles 03/07/2009
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.
by knec 03/08/2009
great work,i know it s a stupid question ,i m totally a beginner,the question is ,i followed your tutorial and made one project(spending hours),now can i retype another text keeping the same effects,which would save me hours?and if yes how?..btw project file doesnt work at ae7..thanks again..
by James Meekins 03/15/2009
This was one of the best tutorials of all. I'm shocked (sparked)
by Jan 03/17/2009
I hawe one question! when i click in PARTICULAR positione XY, i don t hawe window EFFECTS("PARTICULAR")(9)......in verse Expression: position XY????? why???
by Alejandro 03/19/2009
is the particular a plug in? becouse i havn't got it.
by Jokeern 03/21/2009
uhh, can someone help me a little bit, why i don't have det effect, "Trapcode"?
by Dani 03/22/2009
Hey... well I've read two comments about the missing effects
by Dani 03/23/2009
and it seems like the AE CS4 doesn't have the trapcode effects... what can we do?
by Christopher 03/24/2009
I think you should leave a note on the frontpage whether the tutorial requires Particular or not, so you're not halfway in when you realize you need to purchase a new plugin first!
by Heather 03/25/2009
This tutorial was fantastic, to-the-point, and hilarious! Thank you!

For those who don't know, Trapcode is a bunch of plug-ins for AE, you need to purchase it separately from trapcode.com
by Jorgen Larsen 03/26/2009
Where can i get the Trapcode effects? :S

I did the project and I also pre compose the text and now I can't change the text, HOw can I change the text after working with the other one. I don't want to go back and start all over again with other text is there a way I can just change the setting already saved on the pre compose text to the new one.

Hello Sir! ;p

When I watched this tutorial a particular music video came into mind: Umbrella by Rihanna. There's a section in the video where when she moves her arms "water" seems to splash out. Do you think they tracked her arm movement and basically used this technique?

Thanks Andrew!
