Just recently made the dive into the CC suite. Your tutorials are have helped me a lot. I have not had any formal training and never considered myself artistic. But your tutorials are helping me create media that is way more interesting than what I was making. Thanks and keep them coming.

Is this possible without Trapcode? Eg Particle World?
Matt Rogers

I've been trying to pick apart the expression for this. I can't figure out how to have it wiggle on one vector. More specifically I'd like it to wiggle or oscillate on the y value.

Oh, by the way, I really want a particle effect, but the default one doesn´t allow me to do it in 3d, at least I am not being able to do it, and I would like to know if there is a good one to download that is free, I know the cc particle world but its expensive for me, so... I would appreciate if you could respond me to my e-mail if possible

Great tut! I found as you decrease the particle gravity (deeper into the minus range) you get more of an underwater bubble effect.

Can't wait to mix this type of look with caustics!

Hi Guys!

To Everybody who has the Error after trying to active the Orbit Preset for the Null Object.

Thats because your Version thats currently running is not the english version. It has to be the english version because else the expressions are different and the preset cannot be activated.

Thank you very much for this site, I’m just getting started at AF and I found it very useful. I'm following the getting started tutorial and it's great. And above all here and there you make ironic still hilarious jokes that get the thing going. Again thank you so much for the free tutorials and presets (I know you love each and everyone of us for our outside jajaja).

Hi Andy ... you've come out with some really cool lookin' tutorials. Just one request. Could you maybe provide links to any and all the tutorials for download (offline viewing)? I'm from India and we don't exactly have fast net connections down here. I'm goin' blind straining my eyes while I'm waiting for the tuts to load.

Besides ... I feel there'll be a lot of other users like me who'd appreciate having the tuts sitting on their hard drives to refer to whenever they want to.

Thx dude. You rock ! Honestly !!!!

hello ... I have been following your tutorials ... and thanks. I afters efects CS3 installed, but in your third tutorial "keying and transparency" I can not find that option ... not find it on my software installed. I wonder if you can help in that regard?

I buy most of your products ... but first of all, I want to prepare and save money.

Besides, you have a collection of backgrunds, jpg etc. ... you use to the different compositions animated you do ....

I need to know ... if your products have some jpg or backgraunds etc. ...??? for use or if you know any website available that can give me some? and know how to install them or save them ...

Does anyone know where i can find that AE script that helped translating the presets int other languages than english? I know Andrew posted a link to that but I couldn´t find it in the blog archive. Thanks

The answer is probably very simple guys!
I had the same problem of the preset ,but i fixed it!
It was because my after effects is in german ,so all the effects are in german ,too , but the preset needs the english sliders!
So what you have to change:
This the expression from the preset:

Radius = effect("Radius&quot("Slider//HERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED INTO YOUR LANGUAGE!"
Speed = effect("Speed&quot("Slider//HERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED INTO YOUR LANGUAGE!"
RotationOffset = effect("Rotation Offset&quot("Angle//HERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED INTO YOUR LANGUAGE!"

//

center = [this_comp.width/2,this_comp.height/2,0];
radius = 200;
angle = time * Speed + RotationOffset;
x = Radius * Math.cos(degreesToRadians(angle));
z = Radius * Math.sin(degreesToRadians(angle));
add(center, [x,0,z]);

my expression now would look like this:

Radius = effect("Radius&quot("Schieberegler"
Speed = effect("Speed&quot("Schieberegler"
RotationOffset = effect("Rotation Offset&quot("Winkel"

//

center = [this_comp.width/2,this_comp.height/2,0];
radius = 200;
angle = time * Speed + RotationOffset;
x = Radius * Math.cos(degreesToRadians(angle));
z = Radius * Math.sin(degreesToRadians(angle));
add(center, [x,0,z]);

Hope you understand and that it fixes your problem!
