For anyone who doesn't have an Option tab. The setting aren't gone, they're just spread out in the Effect Controls. For example: the 'Floor is ice' setting can now be found under Physics>Floor>Floor Action. 'Gravity' is also now under Physics, and so on

Hello, I was looking though some of your videos in search of an animation I was looking for. This particular video had one animation that was a little similar to what I was looking for. I'm doing this short film for a course I am taking in my college. We are looking for a way to create a sort of mystical entity that is full of color and looks inspirational to an artist. Almost a God like form because the idea is a muse, sort of like the inspirational God. comes down and touches an artist to give him inspiration. The animation I saw that was similar was the one of the first few of the twister particles that was in a vertical form.
Please email me if you can to give me any help. Much appreciated.

Hey Andrew, great stuff you have here!
I'm just curious why you needed to precompose WITH the camera along with the other layers?
If anyone can answer that'd be great, thanks

Hi from Spain!
And I say I'm from Spain because here, these days, when we open Youtube.com, there's this Nissan banner in which they use this very scene.
They have almost not changed anything to it, only the color (blue-ish instead of orange-ish) and not much more actually.
I just can't leave a link to the banner, I've not found how, but I can to a couple of snapshots I've done. Hopefully it will be enough.
http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8335/vcopilotyoutubenissanju.jpg
Other that, thank you very much for your work, it's inspiring and educative at the same time. Well, and fun!

When I make the velocity negative it doesn't look like its sucking in like it does in the tutorial, and when I precomp it and reverse the time i can reposition the particles. I really want to know how to fix the velocity problem, any suggestions?

Wow! I looks so easy when you do it. I am going slightly mad here in Sweden because for instance when I make a new effects grid layer it directly disappears when I click anywhere, also when I create a new camera...I can´t move it before it goes away. Ideas?

This could make a great movie..
Imagine this..
A ball of energy generates it self in some dark back alley.
And inside it, is a man.. Except... it is not really a man, but its a machine sent back in time..
they could seriously make a movie here.. LOL.

Thanks for the great tutorials. I wanna say I love you!
By the way,as when creating "sucking paticles" there is no "options" option in CS5.5(at least the one that I use), right? My guess is these options are spreaded in other titles. For floor->ice choice I go to physics->floor->floor action->ice.

HELP with CS5 Particle World:
When I create the camera layer, the particle world grid disappears, unlike in the tutorial, so I can't position it.
The box is checked in the effects panel too.

Whoa... This looks so cool. I've been trying to design a poster somewhat like this incorporating the glowing 3D effects in my logo but it looked off somehow. Finally, I decided to use the professional design services of an online logo design site instead (http://www.logodesignstation.com) and got the design I wanted at an affordable price and fast too, within 24 hours. I did provide this link for reference and inspiration to my designer as I liked how yours look. I'm not going to design anything without any professional help anytime soon although it's fun.
Your site is awesome, by the way. And the effect is explosive!

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem... I noticed there was question about it further up.
*Setting the velocity to a negative value has no effect*
Here's why it doesn't work...
The reason being that the negative value does not affect the the particles in the way you would expect, instead it's actually the radius of the emitter that is the corner stone of the sucking. When you start playing with the size of the emitter the actual start position increases and so the particle begins outside and has a negative velocity... going inwards.
In short increase the size of the emitter AND set the velocity to a negative value!
hope that helps someone, had me scratching my head for a bit!

It happened 3 times (when I added a new CC Particle World) that the grid changed. I didn´t used the camera so it had to be that it chanched from alone when adding a new PlugIn.
Did you had this problem too or did I miss something?

Andrew, I'm a big fan of your work. I'm from Argentina and you trapped me since last year. I just want to say: Thanks, man. Thank you very much.
That effect looks soooo professional! I can't believe that we can do it in our computers too.
A Question: Are you interested in make a "Trapcode Form" Tutorial? Or maybe a "Horizon" one. Or both in the same one!! Ha Ha, just kidding. Now seriously, Are you interested?

Andrew,the tutorial that you gave I've already tried it before. I'm putting many kind of effect such as glow, particle world, bubles,and lens flare. It's surely doesn't looked exactly like yours but it's definitely has a bit similarity with your tutorial.But netherthanless, your tutorial was really helpful and makes mine looked better.

Andrew great once again. but one question, i feel like a dunce, but i can't get this to work... Not new to after effects at all but struggling with one issue in this tutorial.. For the sucking particles, even when i set my velocity to -1.5 or any negative number they still shoot out... I cannot figure it out for the life of me.. if you, or anyone else here can help me out that would be awesome. Thanks so much for all the great tutorials, they are a constant source for inspiration and technique

I have a problem though, about the "Sucking particles". Actually, my particles don't suck XD i mean, they just spread out as default, even if i set a negative velocity!
Any suggestion? Thanks man!

Mmh... It's seems i'm the one suffering that, but...
Putting the velocity of the particules on a negative value doesn't affect the value of it... I mean putting a negative value render the same thing than a positive value : my particules still coming-out instead coming-in.
Very strange and annoying thingie, because i have thie problem on another computer too. If someone have an idea of the solution... don't hesitate

Funny how some complain about some of your tutorials. I just watched this, like I´ve wathed all the others. And actually from what I´ve seen I learn alot more than just creating energy or a car-hit. or exploding planets from watching the very tutorials. I have used some of your techniques in other scenes. And that is what I think it´s about. Master AE without being a copycat. Great work as usual Andrew!

I have one request can u cum up with some easy way for 3D compositing some thing like crowd multiplying characters or enhancing the environment. Like a stadium full of people but in the original file one few people are there, lot of men marching to war etc.
Thank you again for your nice tutorials and I am using Riot Gear for our Film called Blood, Hope to buy Evolution next month.

Am I the only one here who speaks English as a first language? 
Just so I don't feel completely out of place Andrew, allow me to say:
"me loves you and her tutorials greatly from the Khazakistan. I is milkman but wishes the special-effects career gigantically. You is the Godzilla amongst her turnips".
I don't know what that means either.
Ok ... now that we have THAT outta the way ...
Just wanted to say "thanks" for all the tutorials Andrew. I'm not in the film industry and never will be, but I love screwing around with After Effects as a hobby.
God knows how many hours I've spent watching your tutorials and goofing off with the software, but I can tell you this - every hour has been a hell of a lot of fun.
I'm a run-of-the-mill corporate website sorta guy. I've been building websites and Intranets for blue-chip companies here in Australia for the last fourteen years and in the last twelve months I've started producing online, flash-based tutorials.
And I have to confess - I've ripped your style off mercilessly.
I've seen a lot of online tutes over the last few years and I gotta hand it to you buddy, yours are the best.
Now, if I can just convince my company to shell out the bucks for your DVDs we'll both be happy - I'm workin' on it.

Oh well -

Andrew, you're like the WAL-MART of the video and film industry. Affordable, easy, but effective. Other big stores are losing business because of WAL-MART.I'm pretty sure that other professional video editors, graphic artists who are as great as you hate you now for giving away these awesome and free tutorials. I don't know exactly why you're doing this. All I can say is, may you live longer and stay generous as you are.

yea...what is quick matte? I am keying some red stuff and its proving difficult because were using a green screen suit. there is some odd 20 different shades of green on the suit. its going to be amazing once its done! RED is so much fun to work with, but the software is a real butt as its in beta and the only way to retain 4:4:4 is to export as a TIFF...70GB a min...I am trying to find a way to matte what the different color keys see that i am using to create a reverse garbage matte to protect the outside footage without rotoscoping. any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi Andrew!
I watched this tutorial last night, and thought, why not? I could try this. So I did, and I came up with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7kLfk_LI3o
after many hours of hard work. I hope that you at least check it out, and it would mean a lot if you left some feedbaack. I also had some help from your advanced sky replacement tutorial. It was very helpful.
Thank you ANDREW!
Peace,

Great tutorial!! One question....There are so many steps involved to achieve this, how did you discover how to do this? Did you know in advance the steps needed or was there a lot of experimenting to achieve this. I've love to know your thought process and how you got to this level of expertist.

WOW! Your streak is intact. Another exciting tutorial that doesn't just show us how to snitch one cool effect, your commentary allows us to LEARN about the techniques you employ while getting a laugh.
To everyone that reads this: BUY some VideoCopilot stuff and support Andrew's company. He deserves every penny of the money you send! My purchases of Riot Gear and Video Streams have opened up lots of new design work for me.
Andrew, your creativity and skill are awesome. Thanks so much.

Dude! After seeing your latest tutorial I was blown away, I think Goethe must have been talking about your skills on AE when this was said:
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now."
