Hi! My problems:
When I make the CCParticleWorld, it appears too small and I don't know how to make it bigger.
I also don't have the "Scrubbers" nor the "Options".
I cannot turn off the grid.
Help please! I work on After Effects CS5.

For all of the people using CS5 and interested in this tutorial, you will see that the options of CC Particle World are not available (or at least for me). Now, since Andrew is mainly using the "blur" in the options, all you will need to do is apply a motion blur to the particle layer and there is your solution (or again, at least for me[x ).

Hi there,
I'm using AE CS4, and I cannot get the text to do that neon glow. I keep selecting RGB colours the way you said, but the brightness just keeps changing. It wont stay at 100%.
Any suggestions?

Ok for those of you who are having the rending/exporting issue where your text keeps coming out pure white, the way to fix it is on the top menu click on:
-Edit
-Templates
-Render Settings
Then under the settings section click on
-Edit
Locate where it says (Color Depth) and then make sure in the drop down menu that you have
-32 Bits Per Channel
Selected.
Now what you want to do next is make sure your composition is selected along with the work area you have displayed. Now on the top menu again click on:
-Composition
-Add To Render Queue
From there you'll notice the render tab is available on the bottom where your work area is located. Just click on:
-Render
and then you should be set. Now for people who notice what happens next is that AE will create a full rendered video of your text with all the colors however the output display is in the .AVI extension and the problem with that is you run into a major data file (Mine was over 80mb for just a little over 3 seconds!!!!) That's too big! What you can do from there is just take that .AVI file and put it back into AE. Then create a new composition using that .AVI file and then from there you can use your regular (Export) settings however you want to compress it into a smaller file and more compact file extension; I like using Quicktime but you can do whatever you normally use.
That should clear EVERYTHING up... If you are still experiencing problems. Email me at:
Leokahokuma@hotmail.com
-Cheers!

Lucky_rocketship 05/15/2008 for your solution to only getting bright whites.
"Ok! figured it out. if anyone else is having trouble exporting 32bpc. you need to go to your render settings under the render queue. Under that, there should be a pulldown for color depth. change that to 32bpc and you should be good to go!"
worked a treat as anyone who was having a problem with the lack of colours were not using the render queue, they, like me were using the
"file > export:" quick option.

Very good tutorial !
I watched lots of your tutorials and it is very useful !
But I have a problem with my program after effects cs3. When I create a text layer, my anchor point is very far, not in the center of my layer. I'm oblige to replace the anchor point all the time, and I loose a lot of time.
Can you tell me how can I put the anchor point in the center of the text layer by default ?

Great stuff!
However, I have After Effects 7; when I go to the add animation for the position, there isn't an "Enable Per-character 3D" selection in the animate window on the timeline.
So how would I animate each individual character in 3D when the graphic rotates and comes in from in front of the camera/screen?
After Effects 7? Thanks...Aaron

Hello from Israel,
Great tutorials. You are a cool bloke.
Hey, why wont you use the surfers traffic on your web site for another revenue option. Im sure you can create some affiliate contacts or sell ad space, without killing the clean and professional look of your site.
Just find your way to cash on all the hard work you're doing, while still selling great products.
You deserve it, mate. You make me learn creation, think of stories to tell and scare the hell out of my wife when laughing randomly into my earphones (you and Mr Loya are too funny. He looks like a type cast of Karl from the ricky gervais show)

To get CC Particle world and all other CC effects like CC Sphere, CC Rain, CC Radial Blur etc. Just Download Cycore FX, just google it.
And to reduce the size when you render try using a different file format.

And why has CS3 made it harder to "Go to Time"?! Are they not thinking about people with less than 3 hands?
Annoying.

Ok! figured it out. if anyone else is having trouble exporting 32bpc. you need to go to your render settings under the render queue. Under that, there should be a pulldown for color depth. change that to 32bpc and you should be good to go!

Thank you! I had that problem as well and I was trying to troubleshoot my way through it but with no success. I even tried exporting it as an image sequence because Adobe Help said that PSD and TIFF images supported 32 bpc and figured it was worth a try. I probably would have never figured it out because I never use the Render Queue. I just always go, File>Export. So, my thanks to you. Nice job.
Awesome tutorial Andrew! You rock!

@Jewish: Why complain? You are free to change the bg to whatever coulour/texture you want, and if the effect is not to your liking you can adopt and change to heart's content. I, for one, prefer the black bg's and I'm eternally greatful to Andrew Kramer and VC for dedicating their time and effort to teaching us a few tricks of the trade.

Okay, I got it finished but instead of using motion blur I used fast blur and got a quite nice effect. A problem is when I render it to a DV stream the orange color you got by using 32bpc disappeared when opening it afterwards. So I'm completely clueless for what to do. :/

It seems like MANY people are having the same problem as I am where the render does not show the glow/cool effect of the 32bpc. No one has responded yet... does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

i have bought more than 3dvds tutorial for after effects from Lynda.com and 1dvds from Total training... i won't mention the host name here...
i keep watch them but they cut out the important parts of the effects how to apply them ... when we miss out the Most IMP part... whatz the use of buying that...
but when watching the Andrew Kramer tutorial... he tought us from the very begining til end without anycuts.. and it was really eaxy to understand...
They called them self they are adobe certified...yea, hey mite be... but they dnt teach nice... teaching is not everyone cup of tea...
i love andrew Kramer tutorial... long live...

Really cool tutorial, but I have one question. How do you export it without losing the 32bpc effects? I've tried making a new output template as far as I can manage but that doesn't help at all.
Please someone answer the question I think you will help a lot of people.

Hi Andrew! I hope u can notice my comment and reply it!
Because I'm here to discuss some technical issue!
I've noticed that you hide some tricks in this tutorial. I mean the result is shown in the preview of "here's what we're going to be creating" but not shown in the tutorial.
I think the reason may be lack of time since it's a short-cuts or u just leave it for us to explore and experiment!
the little tricks are turning on carema's Depth of Field to make the scene realistic and blurring the text a bit to give it a yellow glow.
BUT there're BIG tricks.
For example you make letter "e" in the word ".net"
so close to the camera and just in the middle of the frame when it passes by,
(shown here: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm170/kevin1649/910aaaac.jpg it's under 20KB)
and "e" is relatively bigger than "t"(in "copilot" or "." which really brightens the scene and make it so sharp.
Also when this "e" comes to its final position, it's NOT in the center of the frame. in fact it has quite a bit offset.
Through experimenting I find that changing the camera's position and rotation a little will achieve this.It's so slight that we can't even notice but it makes the characters' moving path totally different.
Also the character is rotating around x, not y or z which are shown in the tutorial. so another animator has to be added to move up the anchor point.
BUT that's not enough! Setting the offset z position to be twice the distance between camera and the text's final position can make them stay closer to x-z plane rather than like a line due to rotation.
Also I've animated the z position in range selector from -1000 to -500(camera z position is -480) to make the last few characters getting in a little slower and more elegently.
Still I find my project just doesn't look as sharp as yours, although this is not a complex one.
Is there any other trick I missed?
Here're 2 of my project's snapshot

I had one quick question, when you are working in the color pallet selecting the "super bright colors", how do you switch the values of the R G B channels, (for instance mine say all white is 255,255,255 instead of 1,1,1) so when i go to make your adjustments i only get a dark black. It has to be just a setting right?

"I was wondering if there is ever a downfall to working in 32bpc? Everything that can be done in 8bpc can be done in 32bpc"
Yes there is, increased render times and lack of support for a wide array of plug-ins. Note that the plug-in that Andrew uses for the particles is not 32bpc aware. You can work around these issues by pushing values into overbrights using a 32bpc capable effect like levels or exposure but you're not really expanding the range of values produced by the effect... just pushing it above white. This technique will not work for every 8bpc/16bpc effect.
However, I would say that 32bpc is essential for serious color grading, film work, 3D renders and achieving naturalistic light effects (in combination with linear blending).

Desde hace tiempo sigo estos grandes tutoriales y seguire mientras ustedes continuen
Lo único que no he logrado de este tutorial es el tip del color... no logro cambiar R-G-B sin modificar el color primario pero ya le intentaré con mas tiempo.
Gracias desde México y como no se ingles por ello escribo en español jeje

Yet another one Gotta love them all.
And for those who cant find the CC Particle World (i know that andrew has said this alot), but just take the installation disc and whup them right up. It follows along in the box with AE and both version 7 and CS3 have them. (Probably the earlier versions too, atleast 6.5)

I have a question - I was wondering if there is ever a downfall to working in 32bpc? Everything that can be done in 8bpc can be done in 32bpc, but you have a ton more possibilities in 32bpc... I feel like I'm missing something here and that AE should just default to 32bpc.
By the way, cool stuff as always!
