Is there any other way to make any object glows AND casts light itself? So it can act like a light source, has its intensity setting etc etc.
Anyway great tutorial as always

I have to say - Matt your response is typical of the sheep coward mentality online, that hides behind the veil of anonymity via the web, only to post hate. You're a freakin idiot - the individual creating these tutorials is a genius - and took the time to share true mastery knowledge with us mere mortals all the way through the crazy stuff with their newest 3d products. Insane results. I am a recording artist with fans worldwide, youtube hits in the tens of millions, FM Radio station air play throughout the USA - and major TV broadcast performances - and am a closet video gear tech head. Get a life Matt, even with my own mastery with audio production and songwriting - I stand completely dumbfounded watching the tutorials posted on this website. I'm a nobody here. The instructor is both funny, and just plain brilliant with his execution of the tools. I think I better concentrate on my microphone and keep this love of video creation to myself 
LOL Keep up the good work Andrew - I'll be a passenger - not even close to being a co-pilot You deserve that TV!!!! Insane what's possible here. - RA

anyone know where I can DL the project file he mentioned? There was some addition camera tracking at the end of his demos that didnt get explained in the tutorial so I am hoping I can figure it out lookin at the file. Andrew if you read these comments, you are the shiz, sir. A great help. Thanks!

Anyone want to go into further detail on how to reflect the text, starting at 8:35 I get lost. When I rotate it, the text is always the same on both layers, even after rotating it. on both axises, I'm on CS5.5 it may be different than this version. Thanks

It's a very nice tutorial but for me it feels strange that camera animated from right to left. Most right-handed persons would have animated it from left to right.
It's the same with children. They always draw the sun on the right side of the picture.
One of my school teachers even said that if they draw it on the left, they are either left-handed or there is something wrong with them.

Hi, great tutorial! I found it really useful.
Although I'm finding it very difficult to just move the camera around so I can see my work while I'm working on it. Every time I try to use the unified camera tool or the rotate tool it is very difficult to position and it will do annoying things like move the viewpoint underneath the surface layer or behind my text or sometimes in the middle of nowhere, far away from my work!

It's not the first time that appened. A french graphist whose name is MATTRUNKS has been copying one weeks ago by the same channel, when he has published a tuts on his website. This is just a shame that a TV channel do not try to work with professionnal, but only with uncreatives cheaters... this may be what we call in french a "pistonné" (some one that daddy help to have a job)

If anyone caught the CBS Early Show Year In Review last Friday, I think they used this in the closing graphic for the segment. Pretty cool that your inspiration hits even large market news.

Hey Andrew, first of all, thanks for all the years of these kick-ass tutorials!!!
I run into a problem working with this tutorial though. I kinda used the same setup, but i added lights to the 32bit scene. In my exports i get purple blocky artifacts, any idea what's wrong, because i've never had any problems with things like this.

Good tutorial as always but why did you make a mask for the glow, why not just scale it verticly and blur it a bit, i think it would look better. for example, if you had one color at the top and another at the bottom it would only show the bottom color instead of both, this way they would both show!

Greetings to you freelance master Andrew Kramer.
Apologize in advance if I write a little off topic. The first time I am writing you a comment. I was in the army. On my return I saw many interesting works of thy hands and from the world masters of design. I was particularly surprised by the work that you pointed out in your own blog. I'm talking about the link with the great works of designers - http://wwww. trapcode. com/gallery/.
Frankly, I like your approach to solving certain problems. Your experiment with Trapcode Particular was pretty exciting. I think with the pace you will soon catch up with Harry J. Frank-in knowledge. Yes, and many other graphic designers who have put their masterpieces on the link which I have indicated above. I wish you a memorable projects from major companies and people, and new projects with your hands for us beginners VFX freelancers. Anyway, we too have something to learn from you. Remember one thing - I'm a beginner VFX designer, thank you for your provision of subtle and precious knowledge. I think many beginners agree with me. I wish you to break through to stardom and to celebrate the victory on its top, along with his team. To such an extent that had a budget to produce your own movies, I think you're driving at such a project.

Love the new site design, much cleaner look. Was wondering why you didn't play around with using your own VC-Reflect plugin. I live and die by that thing since you published it, would have just figured it would be a way to plug yet another amazing Video Copilot Plugin! Although I guess I understand the greater flexibility using multiple copies to blend out the blur to make it a believable glow.
All in all love the site redesign and as always love the tips and tutorials you provide!

Hi!
Have anyone tried to unzip the project file? Because it contains a map called '108', but this is the 113. tutorial! I think it needs a correction...
Obviously the tutorial was really perfect! Your style is unbeliveable!
(like in every tut.)

hey Mr Kramer!
did you get your free TV from Sony?
the last technique used for the blur is awesome!
Maybe adding a turbulence effect on blue or red layers could make this effect more vibrant?

Hilarious! I'm just watching your tutorial for 5 minutes (splitscreen rocks) and I already have that ugly grin on my face. Which is good for anyone who doesn't neet to see it. Basically me.
As you opened a new composition "oh, what's that?" and a few minutes later you worded my thought by saying "This is gonna be one of that tutorials..."
Thanks for that. That's what makes your tutorials so much better than the rest (of course if I would watch their tutorials now, I would say that to them ... kidding).

pretty good technique ! I usually use the same approach for shadows.
For Chromatic Abberation you can use my filter "ft-Lens Distortion" which is much easier to use. http://aescripts.com/ft-cubic-lens-distortion/
but I understand you wanted to keep it AE native in this tutorial too
cheers

Couldn´t you make some nice glowing balls with Optical Flares? Just a bright Light without the flares.
Though the method you showed at the end is very usefull, pretty good way to make more custom like glow instead of using the typical AE plug-ins.
One question. Did you edited the animations in your test movie a bit more then shown in the tutorial? Your animations always look so perfect smooth or poppy as you need it. I would love to see a tutorial about some more indepth animating using the Animation Graph Editor etc.
Just some tips how you can give your animations the final touch.

Hi Andrew this tutorial is quite a little bit interesting but ve've been waiting for one month for this !! I have learned a lot of things in the past thanks to your website and now i must admit that the level of your tut is nearly for beginners i would love 2 tuts per month with 2 differents levels for ex: beginners and advanced or intermediate. Anyway even if i know those tuts a free i think you could make serious money here training us to a high level just by selling us the download project for ex .Anyway everyone tells you you are great because you are the only one website that really tries to make us understand how to achieve stunning effects and for all this i wanted to tell you THANK YOU SO MUCH

Use of "channels" open lots of possibilities in compositing and motion.

OH MY GOSH ANDREW!!!! YOU ARE A FREAKIN LIFE SAVER!! hahaha I have seriously been trying to find a neon glow sorta tutorial that looks really good, and need to make an intro with a neon style text with glow off of it by Wednesday at midnight and I was just thinking seriously 2 minutes ago, "It's going to take me all day playing with effects to figure out a good look for it" and then seriously I just got texted a twitter message, opened it up, and it was you saying this tutorial was out! Thanks!!
