The New Video Copilot
September 16th, 2007


New & Improved Website
Welcome back to a few new features and a lot more content. Our website is now on it's own dedicated server so hopefully we can handle all you video junkies. The ground work has been laid for future development and continuous content for everyone. Special thanks to Marc Biorklund and our very own Patrick Otten for their knowledge & support.


Enhanced Tutorial Section
Our tutorial section is now database driven and much easier to update. It also has a pretty sleek appearance. (If I do say so myself.) You can search for keywords and leave comments directly. We've added more footage downloads to some of the older tutorials as well. You can also pause/play the tutorial by clicking the screen. Now that's high-tech!


New Tutorial: Audio to Animation
We also have a fresh tutorial for you today and plenty more to come. There are many surprises to follow...


Free Basic Training Series
We now have a complete training series for After Effects users of all levels and the best part is, you get it for FREE. Enjoy all 10 video tutorials ranging from the basics to advanced tracking and animation. This one has something for everyone.


9 Free Animation Presets
Don't miss this! We've added a new section that includes Free Animation Presets for After Effects. Not only do you get the preset but there is also a video demonstration to show you how to use it. Some of the presets are so amazing you'll have to see for yourself.

Hey Andrew! Awesome site and tutorials! Love the new site, format and tutorials. I was wondering about the presets though, can they be made to work for AE 6.5 Pro? If so, how? My 6.5 pro won't recognize them. Thanks!

Someone know who to make bullet effect like in matrix ? the bullet trail and time slow in after effects ? plz help me who knows ..thx
matthew
18 years ago
I renamed all my after effects shortcuts to 'Andrew Kramer'.

Im going to cruise videocopilot,
i need to hear kramer's voice a lot,
his soothing voice relaxes me,
I think his crafty jokes are the key,
He makes learning fun,
Now i can do a muzzle flash for a gun,
All the girls want to know me,
I think her names Dorothy,
I can show her my light streaks,
Aswell as a few nosey peeks,
At my 3d room with Kramer,
Im never better.

Keep up the great work Andrew, just been watching your Basic Training on Motion Tracking, brilliant.

Andrew Kramer-

Just wanted to let you know I have searched far and wide and your video tutorials are best. Other tutorials advance from feature to feature without a coherent project. Your video tutorials, on the other hand, whet creative appetites while showing us practical, actual effects.

Too bad you have no sense of humor!

Thanks again!

*NOTE*

for assistance watch Tutorial number 17. 3D Reflections... Andrew demonstrates my theory while working with the reflection text.

*NOTE*
Forget that I asked if it were a black background, that doesn't even matter.
Dustin James
18 years ago
Is there a black background behind the text and picture?

If so.. maybe you could just add a linear wipe and track matte it to the text...

(placing the linear wipe below the Text layer; I think white is transparent and black is opaque)

Just pre-compose the text and mask the pre-composed comp layer... though should work, there's prob an better way but this should get the job done

Amazing Update Andrew great stuff as always, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!â???¦hey about tutorial sugestions i support the idea from marcelo from brazil of making a tutorial about the bullet time effect of matrix, i know its really hard to shoot something like that cos i saw how they did it on matrix with lots of cameras recording at the same timeâ???¦ but i saw this tutorial on the internet

http://www.creativecow.net/articles/kumar_satish/bullet_time/index.htm

where the effects of bullet time is faked using just adobe premiere a panorama picture of the background and a free plugin to morph within adobe premiere called
WinMorph . the result is pretty coolâ???¦ i ??´m sure there??´s must be some way of faking that effect in AE.

Here is the result movie from the tutorial

It's not exactly slower but there is just a lot more content flowing through the pipes...
In fact I estimate about 3 hours of new Video content instead on 1 tutorial like usual.

It should improve after the show of the launch.

To all you up & coming VFX artists, all praise goes to Mr. Andrew Kramer. This by far has got to be the best website on the net. Thanks to Andrew & his team, he has placed a website on the web that is not only educational, it's a blast to visit & learn from what I feel is the best in the business. Andrew, thanks for all you've done for us & your generosity should go into the hall of fame.

My God, so much happening, so less time! Just downloaded all the presets, commented about them, saw the music animation tutorial, and everything's just brilliant! Great site, great tutorials, great stuff.

Holy carp, how I love aftershaking here! Just makes me wish I could hang out with the Budweiser guys at that field of them, preferably if there aren't any bees nearby, nor with someone wearing a tinfoil hat, nor 300's hunchback, and then send my camera to space with a weather balloon (of course, tying it with fishing string to, say, some pissed-off Canadian or a chupacabra) while playing some Minesweeper and trying to make a realistic castle with MS Paint, or maybe trying to figure out what a Magic Eye picture is hiding.

Although, I guess it'd be more productive if I went to the graveyard with some candles, a spell book and some snacks to lure a demon, or if I bought a ton of little laser pointers (plus a Rolex) to blow up the moon and coerce the UN. Maybe it'd be better to buy one of those automatic soda fridge packs.

When I got my camera back, I think I'd shoot at dusk (so I can use day-to-night) some guy trying to spell graffiti, I could appreciate the long time Andrew spent developing the flip-book motion, I could remove some blemish from a footage with a girl in it so that she goes on a date with me, or maybe I could get an Indiana Jones poster signed by George Lucas and Harrison Ford, while looking at Sam Loya's face when he has a machine gun or a jedi robe. Trying to understand how gravity and elasticity work in AE wouldn't hurt either....

Even though I think I am (thanks to your Tutorials ) not an AE beginner, I will nevertheless enjoy the basic training. I love the preset section and am looking forward to all the new tuts and all your future products (as an aspiring horrormovie producer it would be great to get an "Horrormovie Essentials DVD" with lot's of gore and decap tuts).
I think I'll have to talk with my boss about taking a few days off

The basic training series is brilliant. Everything you need to know. For FREE!! Absolutely amazing.

The videos on integration with FCS2 are great too... very helpful for folks like me.

Go buy the great products!! And check out what I did recently. My friend and I were messing around and wanted to film something so we just filmed a random scene where he gets shot. All the blood and everything was added in in AE. I used Action Movie Essentials, Riot Gear, DSFX, and Film Magic Pro. There are two different color corrected ones up on you tube. Check them out and let me know what you think. And BUY these great products. Andrew let me know if you think this is decent. It involved A LOT of rotoscoping. Which I now officially hate.

Damn meeeeen! this is really ANDY-mazing. Great stuff and I'm feeling the Vista touch right now...Give me a moment to bask in this........(10 mins later) This is good, this is really good. Nice tutorial to open the site as well. Question Andrew, where do you know this stuff from? And please dont tell me I 'd have to kill you first before I let you know. Good stuff man, good stuff.

Great new site look. And with loads of extra features too. Cool.

Only trouble is the view count of most of the tutorials reads sort fo false. Only 20-odd hits for some of them. Now that's a fib! I feel you should be justified in pushing the numbers up a bit on some of the earlier ones.

I love the new site Andrew. And by the way I am glad I ordered the DVD BEFORE 20% discount, because I am so pleased with the "Serious FX". It was worth it!
I've got the delivery today. I have ordered things from USA before, and this delivery was the fastest ever (I live in Sweden).
So thank you very much and good luck with this new site!
