But still its a great tut... anything by AK is amazing!
by DerickJ 06/10/2010
Andrew, why was it necessary to put a garbage mask around the 2nd Sam layer? I can't figure out why you would need that. Was there some other unwanted movement in the shot on the left side of the screen that you needed to mask out? Just curious. Great tutorial and love your work, especially on Fringe.
by Berald 06/10/2010
i was wandering, the rotoscoping part can be replaced with a difference key fx, you du have a bg image in your footage with no Sam at all
by Andrew-wolf 06/06/2010
hi Andrew,

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 Zambaweee 01/17/2010
GREAT TUTORIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
by suresh 01/05/2010
This tutorial was AWESOME!!!

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?

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 Ian 01/30/2009
Nice tutorial. For a finishing touch and to add more 'realism', you could add a bit of artificial camera shake.

Then it would look VERY real!
by Henry 01/29/2009
Your tutorials are incredible

thank you so much,

you are definately a pioneer in after effects!!!


thanks once again

by High K 01/18/2009
so, you want to be made fun of, as i gather from your end comment on this (once again) great tutorial?
ok, guess what: my husband is becoming kind of jealous, because i keep spending so much time with you, and … what makes it even worse, i actually do the things u are telling me to do. i try to explain that the things you tell me, actually make sense, but i guess he doesn't care ;)
thanx for all the help.
3 cheers from berlin, h
by sz 01/14/2009
gREAT tutorial, earlier i just used premiere but from now on im goin 2 make sure that i am as if not better, good as u
by Yassine 01/10/2009
Thanks for the tutorial, it was really helpful since I'm a beginner, The only thing i found a little difficult to follow was when you duplicated the clips and renamed them, since you didn't say witch key you used, but as I said, I'm a beginner and not really familiar with After Effects. Another problem I had was my video recorder not being very good, every time i fell over the picture went blurry, In the end i just decided to throw a ball in the air and freeze it when the ball reached its peak. Again thank you for this tutorial, my animation turned out better than I thought!
by Kelvin 01/05/2009

by Ted Strickler 12/20/2008
To Andrew Kramer,
I just watched and enjoyed your tutorial on Freeze Frame. At the end I was wondering, it would be cool if the second guy would reach out and grab one of the boxes and walk off with it. Is that something you could show? You see that effect on TV commercials sometimes. Just a thought. Great tutorial!
Ted

by Joe Smokie 11/17/2008
Just the time remapping feature where I can pause a shot is invaluable to me. I've needed that countless times and been unable to figure out how to do it.

by Chisom 08/21/2008
Thank you so much Andrew. I've just started learning After Effects and the best part of it is stumbling upon these great tutorials on Videocopilot.net. I wish to have a complete tutorial on After Effects in DVDs because the download speed for most ISPs in Nigeria where I live is very poor. If it would be possible, please let me know via e-mail or on my cel no: 234 805 987 5544. Please include the shipping cost. Thanks to all of you at Video Copilot, you are the BOMB!!!

i want 2 ask u how to make this "time freeze" when the background is moving or the people are observed in 3 dimensions.
is that we should make several keying layers?

by Martin 07/15/2008
When I did the freeze it jumped one frame during the time it should have been frozen.

I solved it by changing the value of the digits that are to the right of "Time Remap" in the Timeline (e.g. 0:02:18:21). The two points that you want the video to freeze between should have exactly the same value. Noone else has written this solution here, so I hope it helps someone in some way. I don't know why this happens though.

Hey. I loved the video tutorial. What I would love to see. Dude walks, trips and hits the pavement. The boxes are frozen in mid air. Other dude comes into frame walks out to the curb gets the mail,(walks inback of the mid-air boxes) After getting the mail walks infront of the mid-air boxes. Once he is out of frame the boxes fall. Looks like a great effect to accomplish.

Hey guys, I have a problem. How do I make a my freezed brother behind my. In this tutorial the freezed one is in the foreground, but how do I make it in the background?
by T. Shelton 03/29/2008
Hey Andrew,

Great tutorial, as usual. I have tried this 3 times and run into the same problem every time. Approximately 9:05 into your tutorial you finish trimming the foreground and raising the opacity back to 100%. At that point on your tutorial you can see both sams still but when I do it you can only see one at a time...what am I missing????? Please help...otherwise awesome!!
by Mick 03/27/2008
Very awesome, although for some reason I am unable to achieve this effect. I don't know if it's because of the framerate, that I recorded my footage with (29,97fps)
Anyway, my footage moves one frame ahead, in between two keyframes which are supposed to be responsible for the frozen time effect. It wouldn't be bad, if it wasn't visible, unfortunately it is. And I do everything step-by-step as shown in this tutorial. I've even done it using the included project media, and it worked fine. But I can't get it to work with my own footage.
If anyone has any ideas, help would be appreciated.

Hey, nice tutorial as always. Just wondering, is there a faster way to get the masks? Instead of drawing the points, is it maybe possible to use a difference matte or something since the background is stable?

by lukas 01/13/2008
another great tut!
thanks a lot.
when i did the timestop tutorial, i thought it would be great to just ease in and out the timestop.
so i tried to use the knowledge from your Speed Variation- tut to realise this shot.
unfortunately the ease-"parts" are jut a couple of frames so the movement is kind of jerky.
sadly frame-blending(pixelmotion) does not help.
do you have an idea how to realise such effect?
thx a lot mate

by Ttown71 11/19/2007
I am doing these tutorials out of order. So forgive me taking this so far back. But my my foreground mask seems to shrink, when the 2nd sam runs behind it. I know it is due to the missing person in the 2nd sam footage. I have tried some different setting on the Foreground mask, but I can't seem to resolve it. Any suggestions?

Because of your Tutorials, your off in a different direction comments at times I now make it my daily routine and watch them and look for new ones. Further I thirst like walking through a dessert for AE usage, info and training and have purchased your products, thanks for all you do and the way you "Talk to your self" in these Tutorials. Thanks, Sam Washington state

Serius! this is great! I've really learned something, I had a really great time watching your turtorial, right after i saw this I whent out and did some filming, and got to my computer and did this effect, I also used this on a school-project and got an "A" so Thanks, love your work.
by Mr. Poppalopolis 10/02/2007
Nice tutorial. After seeing this in a few places, it was the 1st thing I tried in AE. I was a bit confused at first on why I didn't see the clip under the 50% transparency camera, but that was because I was in the wrong tab. This is really easy to follow, nice job. The only other problem is that you need a camera with a pretty high shudder rate or you'll get motion blur which looks pretty bad.
