Thank you very much Andrew Kramer

Is there a way to create a snapshot of rotation disk that we saw in the Matrix movie, so freeze the snapshot while the camera continues to spin in the shot. I know when they made this they use many, many photographic cameras. Can we do it in after effects with out use equipment like that?

by yatin 01/16/2010
Thanx A ton. Your tutorials are very useful indeed.
by Luke 01/08/2010
This is a very awesome tutorial. But i was wondering if there was a way to have, say when sam drops the boxes in mid air, have the 2nd sam come in and take them from mid air.

you are the jam.
by John 12/18/2009
I enjoy your tutorials. They are very good and helpful. I was wondering if you know how to create effects like the show "Merlin". In the show the character Merlin's eyes glow whenever he uses majic. It's not just a typical glow but more like a a vibrant cornia glow. Is there a way to do that with Adobe After Effects?

I'm really excited about what i just have seen ... it looks like i'm going to break my shell if i could simply redo it again ...

" Sir. ANDREW KARAMER " you are the men!

Though i foud it though to downlad most of the projects ! it would be fantastic if you could fix that for us.

by ASFGHFGfsfeasd 11/29/2009
Maaaaaaaaaaan! This is what i need!!!! :D
by Daniel 11/12/2009
Great tutorial andrew but i have one problem about this video and others with this kind of stuff aswell, how can i turn the opacity back up and still to keep the two videos to play?
by Elvin 10/24/2009
Hi i'm from nigeria, home of the wackiest (permit my use of english) videos. your tutorials are perfect and easy to understand but i'm having problems watching the videos online due to our unstable network. was wondering if i could download some of your video tutorials instead. again perfect Tutorials mate.
by Peter Plantec 10/24/2009
Hey guys, take a minute before you ask questions that are already answered in the tutorial or at the site. One guy asks how to make the overlapping layers semitransparent...were you not watching the tutorial? Second another guys asks where he can find "The Basics" Like on the front page of this website has a big banner "After Effects Basic Training" I think Andrew would like to think you guys are intelligent...so take a moment and check things out. I've found that nearly all the answers are right here if you look.
by samanyu 10/22/2009
Awesome job man!
easy to follow!
by Steff 10/17/2009
Hay! First of all Great tutorial! this is totally awesome. And exactly the effect i am trying to learn! Thanx so much.
But u have a problem. For some reason it's imossible for me to show both clips at the same time. I made a vid where i throw a can into the air, then stops and after some time it falls down. And the secodn clip shows me (clone) coming from the right side and looking at the 'floating' can. What do i have to do, that i can see both 'me' at the same time.. opacity 100%.

Please help me with that, and don't stpo posting cool effects!
Regards, Steff
by Luis Matos 10/15/2009
