Hey, My question is: Where can I get this energy solid? I searched it on the website and I watched the "Energy" video, but it comes out nothing like this. Can you provide me and everyone else a download link possibly? That'd be pretty cool.
Thanks
Thanks

Hey, this may be a really silly question that has a really easy answer, but I just can't figure it out.
When I insert my Energy Wave into the new Composition with my Title in it - everything works great - but there is a very obvious SOLID LINE where the Energy Wave STOPS, and even where it starts. I do not know why this is happening, and it looks really bad.
Yours just flows, mine is suddenly stopped.
Please help.

There has *got* to be a way to do this without a background.
Just a transparent, colorized energy wipe that you could stick on top of anything.

When time-framing the "Energy" to go from right to left (or any direction) theres an ugly invisible line that cuts off the energy and doesn't look good
:\ ex. |~~~| <- that's what i got ~~~~ <- that's what i want.

How do you change the animation setting to stop the energy wave from "growing" in and have it rather just sit there static waving about like yours?

Hi! Great tutorials. I've just started with After Effects, more as a hobby, and your tutorials really make it easier to get my teeth into the programme!
I was wondering how you increased the speed of the energy. I followed the tutorial before this and got quite a slow energy effect, so it doesn't woosh past like yours does and looks a little awful, what with the text distorting and finishing to distort before the whole effect has gone past. Any ideas? Also, noticed the energy was a lot more streamlined. Obviously I'm not looking to copy you directly, but I cannot achieve the end result that you have, and it's kind of annoying!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The quality of your tutorials are top rate. I'm not just talking about the content. It is outstanding. The actual creation of the tutorials is first rate. The blend of humor and being able to address the different levels of expertise makes your tutorials a bar that those making tutorials should aspire to get to.

For everyone else looking for the original energy wave, and not apparently being answered via forum, I found it. If you go to the page where you can downloag the project ( http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/energy_wipe/ ) there is a very tiny tutorial note that says refer to tutorial 77 (soul Removal is the title)

One problem I notice is the light from the 'energy' drops off sharply on the left.
I realise this is because of edge of the layer.
Is there any way around this beyond making the layer larger. I get this a lot when using trapcode shine. It would be great if it could 'spill' over to the other layers

Hi Andrew!
A great tutorial as always.
I want o ask you something I guess many people are gonna be interested knowing the answer to.
What camera would you prefer working with? Since this question depends of many variables I want to focus it this ways.
Let´s suppose that you are asked to propose a new TV series in a local network, it is low budget, but they wish to make it something between “Supernaturalâ€Â and “Heroesâ€Â in terms of style and use of special effects, and they ask you to come with a trailer of 5 minutes of ideas and concepts, lots of cool effects, look for color and texture of the picture, etc.
They give you 6 months for you to work in it, you have only two people for staff, a basic set of lights only able to light small interior places, a couple of actors, some locations (houses of friends of the producer, basically) and they give you to choose a camera HDV of any kind, of up to $10,000 dollars in value, at this stage you can´t buy or use any complements or extras for the camera, like optical lenses, filters, etc.
Now, which camera would you pick and why?
I have a couple of propositions, would you pick anyone of them or would you go with another.
Canon XL H1
Panasonic P2
JVC GY-HD100
I know this question is very hard, since each camera accomplishes different things, but I want to know what Andrew Kramer would use.
Thanks for sharing all that knowledge with us.
Ivan Leon

what's with this POG thing, everytime there is a reference to it like "POGed with the stick". when do you finally reveal that big secret about your new project?
be the way in the FRINGE there also some references like S.E.KRAMER MANUFACTURING etc. Did you think of that, huh?
by the way, is there gonna be a tutorial on how you did the FRINGE intro?
greetings from Germany

!! Im a HUGE fan of yours, Loved your DVD's!! Just wondering if you could create a tuto for growing flame or electricity generated from the hands like in heroes or so, thought about using a combination of camera focus [Through AE] a bit of slow motion and inks from riot gear to make the flame from hands effect, Altho would suck that it isnt in real time. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but yeah, Good job kramer
