You sir, are a motivating instructor and because of your inspirational attitude, and of course your cornball humor, you set a tone that I can describe as one of; when you come to Video Copilot, be prepared to work and learn. I thank you for that.

Hello Andrew. I gotta say you're awesome at what you doing man. I'm learning a lot from your knowledge
.
I've been repeating this tutorial over and over again to memorize it. My first attempts worked great. Everything worked smoothly. But now I've been trying to try the same method to fracture a PNG logo. I'm cutting the layer just as you do but when I run the script, nothing happens. The masks are there and the layer is cut but when I try to control the pieces with the adjustment layer, it moves as a whole.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you so much in advance

So at the end my son and I ended up cheering for Andrew Kramer instead of the Cowboys.

I really like this tutorial but there are problems with learning and following the instruction.
1. you work with cs3 and I cs4
2.you do not tell us about how to set the preferences example do we check in general the allow script action?
3. when i go to follow your instruction with the mask and duplicate well abeam the mask where there is a box add invert does not appear on my cs4. learning is then stopped and trying to figure out where to go to perform the same action of your instruction.
I wish there was a way that you could clarify so learning is easy

Hey Andrew,
I check your blog a lot, and love the tutorials you turn out. Great stuff man.
I was just watching ESPN and a commercial came on for a Sports Illustrated offer for the LA Lakers that uses this exact tutorial, minus the text. It also uses your Break Apart effect that makes the logo look like it shatters. Have you seen this? I don't know if there's a link to it out there, but it's obviously straight from your tutorial. Even uses the same images. You should get a cut of all those special offers sold!
Just a heads up. Let me know if anything comes from it.

Hey Andrew,
great work again! I`m from Germany and I followed your tutorials for 1 1/2 years now. You`re amazing, and i often thought about buying the product "Designer Sound FX" but never had enough money for it, because I am just a normal student. Would be very nice to meet you some day, but I think you`re working on a tight schedule and that there`s really no time for meeting with a little german student. Anyhow let me know if there is any day in the future to meet you.
Regards Gent V.

P.S.: Please don´t stop telling your stories during your Tutorials because that is what makes your tutorials really personal, funny and exiting.

HEY ANDREW,
THANKS A LOT FOR WASTING 50 MINUTES OF MY VALUABLE TIME!!!!!
Nah, I'm just joking. My time's not valuable. In fact, all I was doing with it was trying to decide if I should go out and buy some more mountain dew.
In all seriousness, I love your stories, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your tutorials.
Keep both of them coming!
Thanks for inspiring me.
Many Blessings to you and your sainted wife

i agree, you can waste as much time of mine as you like andrew. you teach so much and ask for so little in return. you price your items so reasonable that it is almost impossible to not buy them!
keep it up, you are making all of us better every time you make a tut and post it up.
btw, i think the side stories are necessary, since it breaks up all the technical stuff, and makes learning that much better. a little behind the scenes a bit as well, since it shows how your brain is picking things off.
anyways, thanks for all the incredible work.

Hey, don't worry about what people say about your "stories", I love them. I live on moon and there's nobody else here with me, so I don't care listening to you. Keep the stories on the tutorials, maybe some day we can talk about my stories too.
I won't be so long, I promisse, because I know you are a very busy person, but... you know... I'm here, so, if you need someone to talk to, just get a spacecraft..
It's all I guess... maybe not all but... your time... do you get what I mean?
I hope so...
well...
bye.

You know, people do say that the stories make the tutorials long but without them it'd be like going to school with a boring prof rambling off information. The stories make me feel as though I'm hanging with a friend, doing After Effects, and being all crazy and stuff. Not that I know what it's like to hang with a friend but if I did I imagine it would be like that. Keep the stories coming cause you are all the social life I have right now. And if you want to include some cool After Effects info with them, all the better....

Oh and by the way, your mini-stories are quite funny actually, it even somehow helps to keep focus on the tutorial and just proves that you're a great man with sense of humor. That's why I love those tutorials
Simply you're my inspiration to learn AE - such a complicated software for a beginner...

Thank you for this tutorial Andrew, it is really awesome.
I'm experimenting with Ming vases, trying to get some inssurance money then put them back together again.
I'm using the "squashing metal machine" to make virtual ketchup from virtual tomatoes. I'm hoping you'll make a tutorial on how to make virtual french fries soon.
Looking forward to your new special effects DVD, I feel like blowing things up, but don't get me wrong, it's all in virtual space, nobody ever really gets hurt.
Thanks AK

You know I was actually getting mad that we havent seen a tutorial from you in a while, I was like â€Â What the heck is this guy up to not making tutorialsâ€Â and then you announced that you were busy with action essentials and I was super exited about it and I was like “okay acceptable excuseâ€Â.
Dont get me wrong I was still mad at you! This morning when I opened the blog section I saw a NEW tutorlial and I was like YEEEES! but when I tried viewing it kept leading me to a page where the ring is still at the top and I got really mad but finally I was able to view the tutorial and its one of the best you’ve done…wait…all of your tutorilas kick ass!
The point is I loved the tutorial so much I bought it flowers and Im picking it up later tonight for an awesome date!

I have one thing to say about the guys who send you those e-mails about the "wasting time" stories you say:Andrew is a visual effects artist and filmmaker from the inside out. He has worked for many Visual Effects studios and possesses a true passion for story-telling. He enjoys sharing his knowledge with people that are also interested in creating visual effects.
In addition to the computer arts, Kramer is an illustrator and story writer.You chose to watch tutorial from Andrew so you have to listen what he wants to say.He wasted 2 minutes of your precious life and you start sending e-mails.

Andrew, just wanted to say how helpful your whole tutorials section helped me out this far.. and i have no doubts they'll be as helpful in the future.. as for what you said in the very end of this one (which i couldn't believe lasted an hour and i didn't even notice)i don't think you make anyone waste their time, i mean.. there are plenty of tutorials out there but none of them are as enjoyable as yours. in fact i only enjoy your tutorials, as everyone gets to the point and it'd be the same if microsoft sam "read" it, really dull.. this isn't the case, you put a lot of effort into making us understand and i really notice you enjoy what you do. You're great Andrew! Keep it up forever! Most of us out there learnt AE just because AK decided to make this wonderful video tuts!

You are even getting better by mentioning more shortcuts too....great job.

Ive been dealing with 3ds max for a long time and been integrating 3d graphics with real footage using bare 3ds max and programs like boujou, matchmover etc. but i never had any idea that it could be done much more easier using composing programs, you know, rendering sometimes takes time... believe it or not but i watched nearly every video tutorial in about 3 or 4 days, and i have to admit that after effects is just what i needed, so thank u for this awesome website, wish u luck!!

wow! amazing like always... but what i liked most of this tutorial was the fact that if you want to separate 3D layers you just have to put a 2D layer in the middle of them!
I didnt know that! I've always start to get crazy by changing the position of those 3D layers... and when they had keyframes there, it just get harder and harder...
and sometimes when I had 2D adjustments layers in the middle I was like "WTF!? why the hell are they behind if they are closer to the freaking*** camera!
thanks for that tip AK, you saved my life! keep them going!

FYI you didn't place random() around the wiggle() calls in the video. I did it on my own in order to get the correct effect as you move the sliders before setting the key frames around 13 minute mark.

awesome...did you know that you said the whole "Easy Ease" thing twice in the middle of it? Oh well, it was a really long tutorial, so I'm sure mistakes like that can happen. I loved it, and I actually thought of a great way to use it for this project I'm working on right now. Thanks a lot.

I'm finally beginning to understand what you are doing, and even thinking of how to create this and that effect even before you show them. I think I am ready to begin making movies and intros for real 
but Adobe is $999, it's outrageous.. and only 10 days left of my trial

Thanks, Andrew! Great stuff! Thanks for the script and elements.
A couple more stories would have been good, though. Next time I guess.

Greetings from Poland Andrew. If you have that much the "sick problems", maybe you start now to do something what you not done in your life ? Of course if you want... And by the way, there something like believe in your power, and the miracle ... So, be cool, maybe all will be ok, or if not ... hmmm You have done more than majority people

Excellent tutorial. I love it when you go off track in some of these tutorials. thats what makes it fun and appealing.
it's a effective teaching method that some schools need to adapt. I sat through the whole thing loving the tutorial and the off topic conversation. keep it up.
