ALL DESIGN TOOLS
In this tutorial we will combine smoke elements from Action Essentials 2 with a particle system to create a fluid natural transition. While watching think of other possibilities when combining other footage elements...

Hey Andrew. Great tutorial!
I used this tutorial to create self regenerating plasma balls in AE using Action Essentials II and optical flares
I used Designer Sound FX plus some Pro Scores for this video as well.
Here's the link to my 20 second logo. Its 2538x1080 resolution.

Enjoy! And thanks for all your help!

Andrew is the man in regards to After Effects. Thats no question. It would be cool though if he keeps the tutorials to an intermediate to advanced level. This would have made a great "experiment". Or make this a part of a more complicated tutorial. I am not bashing VC at all, this just my opinion.
Hello Andrew,
Just wanted to express how grateful I am as well as so many people out there. You have teached AE to so many people. Keep it up!
Peace.

Sweet, a short one. Here's my take. I prefer bluish smoke, though.

HEY ANDREW
looks amazing
I'm using action essentials 2 in my next short "In The House" so it should be interesting to see this!

i thtink it's the main advantage of particular: custom particles. Probably one of the most funny function:

Haha. Love the better than an iPad joke. Great tutorial. I'm trying to get into sprites and particles more and this really helped. I can already see some different ways to apply this to upcoming videos. Thanks Andrew.

It was great and really helpful! I was wondering for a while, that i want to create a water splash, which I CAN control! maybe this is the way - However, I would be happy, if you could show us, Andrew, a text, or an object, which goes away like if it were sand! i can't come up whit an idea how it could be perfect, like in this video:

CQ1! I GOT GREEN SMOKE!!!!!!! Freaking love that movie! I work with a guy here and his last name is Goodspeed. Oh yes I shoot lines from "The Rock" as often as I can. I think he hates me. HAHA!
Yo Andrew
I have been visiting your site (a lot) lately. Just wanted to say thanks to you and co-creators for being so generous with all the awesome tutorials, presets and plug-ins. Def some good stuff, love your style. I will totally spread the word about Video Copilot; and buy some stuff as soon as i have some cash, you know. This site gets me so psyched, thanks.

Very very cool.. I believe you used this technique, or some of it with the machine gun fire test? Going to give that a go when I get home on a scene I've been working on. After I purchase my upgrade of Particular of course

The effect is awesome but the SFX sell it. Where might one find the underwater SFX you used for this.
Thanks, you're the bee's knees

Nice.
I really like this kind of tutorial, short and sweet. Not to say that the long ones are bad of course.
My only wish at the moment is that I was good enough to put my own ideas into video, instead of yours.
Another thing here is that all your tutorials, even the early ones, are of a really high quality, which is really nice.
Keep 'em coming
