Great tutorial.
But "Tell your wife"?? That's not funny. I'm a girl and I know what is After Effects. Lots of women can make amazing stuff in AE now.

I am loving the Particle world script and I find it very useful but I have a slight problem. After applying the script to Particle world as shown, when I attempt to parent the ccNull to another layer, the particle layer starts to behave oddly. For example if I wanted to parent the ccNull to a moving airplane image flying across the screen so the particles streak from behind the plane, the particles stop working. Is there a way to fix this? Are there any recommendations.

Thanks for the great tutorials Adrew. If it wasn't for Videocopilot, visual effects never would have sparked my interest and this Youtube video never would have been made!

Never mind. I found out the problem. I named my layer CCNULL. In the expression it's, CCNull. Just change your spelling to match the expression.

Can the text be replaced with a logo? When I've been trying to use it it doesn't allow the particles from the Pixel Polly to expand outside of the wire frame of the logo itself, unlike with the text where the particles extend beyond the text box itself. Any ideas?

Trying to do this tutorial with AE CC and there are differences for the software. I had to use CC Force Motion Blur, since Options menu doesn't exist anymore.
However, neither does Lens Blur and I can't find another way to adjust specular Brightness/Threshold. I tried applying Camera Lens Blur and could do a couple things from the lesson but it's not as robust as the old Lens Blur.
Any suggestions on how to achieve what Mr. Kramer is doing? I'm going to experiment with a curves layer right now.

Hey Andrew,OR If any one know how to do this,
The layer that has the word that does the explosion. When I duplicate that layer and change the word. It changes all the word in other layer. How to I do this to change just one layer but keep all the setting the same. In The sample video you have 2 word explosion but you didn't show how to do it?

Is Camera Lens Blur the same as Lens Blur? It's the only one that has lens blur in it's name. I'm running CS5.5 on a school computer (we just upgraded to windows 7) so I don't really have the installation disk, so will Camera Lens Blur work?

hey guys. re particle explosion tutorial 94. I love it but cannot seem to get your expression connecting particle x,y,z positions to the null layer. Have typed it in manually and pretty sure it is exactly as per your expression you created. However, I keep on getting window error saying expression disabled. underneath that it specifically says:
error occurred at line 1.
comp: 'comp 3'
layer: 3 ('particle'
property: 'Position X'
It shows same error respectively for Y and Z position as well.
Any ideas why this is happening? I have quintuple checked!
Thanks

When I change anything that changes appearence of the composition, it doesn't automatically update while I'm changing it. Instead, i see the change once I'm finished. For example: If I scale something from 100% to 50%, I don't see the transition, but I see the object scaled from 100% to 50% automatically whem im finished dragging...How can I change that? Thank you!

Yup, no options button, but that is a CC thing (as it is a complete re-write per web chat info), not Adobe.
However, almost all of the "options" functions (in CS5.5) are in the Effects Controls tab. For example the "Opacity" functions are now under "Opacity Map" and you can select "Custom" in the drop down menu to manipulate the settings. "Depth" functions are under "Extras," "Floor" under "Physics" with "Floor Is" now called "Floor Action", etc.
True, Force Motion Blur appears to be gone but you can get a similar effect by simply turning on Motion Blur at the layer level and enabling it on the composition. It may be that this function simply over-road the fact that motion blur might not be enabled on the layer but this is speculation.
Also, "Lens Blur" is now called "Camera Lens Blur" and has the same functions, and perhaps more, albeit under different names such as Roundness for Iris.
I was able to recreate the project with minimal differences.

Love your tutorials, Andrew!
Secondly, for those of us on CS5 we're pretty much screwed out of this one... There's no "Options" button for the CC Particle World on CS5, and I've wasted the past hour and a half trying to find a way around it. Google results all suggest to turn motion blur on via the layer's "Switches" settings... but that doesn't actually doesn't do anything in this instance.
Anybody have any luck with this??
Basically, thanks to Andrew and a big fat screw you to Adobe! If it ain't broke...

I have a question. I'm using After Effects CS5.5 and I have a problem with the Particle World options. Actually, I don't see the options button anywhere.
So I can't apply that Motion Blur and that kind of ruins the tutorial...
Is there a way to fix that?

I have a slight issue with the slider keyframes, the 3 keyframes have the values of 0, 150, 0 & I have got 4 sets of these on the timeline, however when I add another set it doesn't activate the particle world parameters that are linked to the slider.
I assume there is no limit to how many times the slider can be keyframed!!

I'm a full-time Ruby on Rails programmer at an unnamed startup in Silicon Valley and have recently discovered Adobe After Effects. From last Friday through Monday, I was on a chronic After Effects binge watching as many tutorials on this site as possible to finish my first 10 second AE composition. ( http://www.youtube.com/thirdreplicator#p/u/0/YSvPISfGSoA -- i know it still needs some work, but hey it's my first one.... cut me some slack.) Anyway, I went to sleep at 8 a.m. on Monday. Turned off my phone (before I went to sleep), woke up at 4 pm, put music to my video starting at midnight with Adobe Sound Booth (first time using it), then finished everything at around 3 a.m.. Needless to say, my dev manager, product manager, CEO, and office manager were on my case Tuesday at 1pm when I finally showed up. I told my boss it was "After Effects time," and it seemed to have a calming effect on him...(well, minus the eye-roll). Thanks for the tip, Andrew. You are the man.

Just had to let you know...great tutorial, even if I didn't have the "out of focus" plug in. You may want to let people know, though, that the "options" tab is no longer available in CS5 - they will have to go through the "advanced" tab in composition settings. Motion blur is available down in the layers, but the "advanced" tab is where you tweak it.

Great tutorial! If you're having issues in AE CS5 then here's a few tips:
Firstly, there's no "motion blur" option. Instead, the particle layer needs to have it's motion blur applied (and the global one too).
Secondly, in the script for the ccNull object, if you're having problems, then check the syntax. Make sure it's typed correctly - that includes the capitalisation (e.g. "thisComp" and not "thiscomp" - note the C!).
Also, make sure that your ccNull object is a 3D object! I made this mistake and so there was no Z position (or position[2]) the script could work with. If you don't, then the script will error.
Good luck!

First of all, FANTASTIC TUTORIAL!! I found it very helpful.
I am new to After Effects but are learning quickly, and I just have a simple question:
Is it possible to set this project up so that you are able to edit the text at any stage?
As in, I could follow the tutorial, achieve the same results, and then go back and edit the text?
I need to do this to make multiple seperate titles using this same effect.
Thanks!

Hey Chimera
After Effects doesn't have a plugin so called out of focus, this is what he explains in the video, it is a plugin you could eventually buy or download from the internet. If you won't you can use the lens blur option which he explains one minute earlier.

Anyone watching this tutorial with CS5 should read this. When you need to create motion blur for the particles, it's a little different than in this tutorial. Instead of hitting Option (there isn't an 'option' option btw in CS5', you need to go down by the timeline and click the motion blur box on your particle layer to activate it.

I've watched nearly all your tutorials, some more than once, and just can't get enough.
Thank you sincerely. You're doing a great thing for those of us who'd rather educate themselves than tune out to crappy cable. Moreover, I'm constantly entertained while learning, and what a delight that is.

The only thing I don't like about these tuts is when I get nearly all the way through them and then you say "now use this 3rd party plug-in that costs another $499, the rest of the project crucially depends on it." The other thing is that I guess this is in CS4 and I didn't know that until I couldn't find Resistance in the Particle attributes and then Textured Quadpolygon.
Still they are great and I love them, I just usually can't finish them and end in frustration.

Hi! nice tut!
I´m traing to do your tut, but with a logo in png, not with tipographic. The trouble is when i use de CC pixel, because the explosion end in the limit of the logo. I mean, the explosion dont reach de margen of the composition. I hope you can understand my english.
Do you know why?
thanks a lot!

This was a good tutorial like always.
but I mean a lot of these are getting repetitive, and nothing special.
All these particle titles and such.
Hopefully you come up with some new ideas.

great job as usual,
I have a question about Tutorial # 27 ( 3D room )
how can you continue typing another word behind the 1st word as you Track Z camera all the way to the end without losing the position of every text you have written ...
in another way... how can you type another word behind final image but a little farther without losing position of the first word
please answer this question, as urgent ...
thank you for your time answering.

Awesome tutorial, as always! Do you still plan on providing more tutorials to better exploit Action Essentials 2? Here is an action sequence I made which uses elements from Riot Gear and Aciton Essentials 2. Check it out if you have the time.

Upgraded from AE 6.0 to CS4 about 2 months ago, so I'm really enjoying particle world, along with all of your tutorials that utilize it.

Great stuff! I've learned a lot more through your tutorials, than I did in my After Effects course in college.
What does that say huh?
As I've said on many occasions, thanks AK.

Really nice.....It's great to see built in after effects tutorials using particles for those who don't have trapcode.
