How I can do to disappear the back ground black from the effect particular? Because when I put the smoke, there is a back ground that came first and let so uggly

The particles don't remain where they are born. They follow the emitter. Not sure what changed in Particular or AE to create this result but it renders this tutorial pretty useless. Thanks, though. I'm sure it was awesome when it worked.

Someone has gotta know how to help me fix this issue. I followed the tutorial, but I am left with extra jumpy smoke dancing over my text while my animation completes. This is highly undesirable for this project. Any tips on how to get rid of the issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I thought it was important to establish that Smoking is a deadly activity. Little do you hear about the effects of Smoking on your nutrition? The foods you eat, the supplements you take, are broken down into the vitamins and other nutrients that your body needs to survive. What exactly are the negative effects of Smoking, and the interaction with the vital nutrients you need for good health?

The softwares are pretty cool but too cost here in Nigeria
Trapcode particular is $399 dollars is over 64 thousand Naira which is price fr average laptop in Nigeria. I think that is too much average Nigerians.

Just one question... why is it whenever you say your last name it sounds like you forgot it for a second? Is it for dramatic effect or is it some sort of disability?

hi!
(i'm sorry writing here but in the forum nobody answer)
I have a problem with this:S
When i have made the particular effect then my smoke is in little "boxes/layers".
In the smoke particle composition the black background doesn't disappear when i added to the trapcode - particular effect so it looks like the smog in boxes with black background.:S
I tried the all options of the layer mode but it is still wrong:S
but
when Andrew clicked at 05:21 the "toggle transparency grid" button , the whole black background disappeared , but in this step i do it the same way , the whole background doesn't dissapear just which is in the Mask's line.
I have no idea what i am doing wrong:S
sorry for my lameness :S but i exactly do how he showed in the tutorial. :S

Dear Video Copilot,
I have a problem with my video....
I followed your tutorial to the end and copied all the presets and all the other stuff. it looks perfect!
but in my preview and if i rendered the video the are 2 red stripes crushing eachother in the middle of the video.
I know de red stripes are from both of my particular layers.
do you know how to remove them?
Regards,
Stijn Bessem

But when I tried it I wanted to do it a bit differently so instead of a smoke puff I used fire.
Took forever for my little MSI Wind to render it...over 50 hours...but it looks nice...if anyone wants to take a look...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNxL5fDd10U
If A.K. even took the time to look it would be likke getting blessed by the hand of the AE god...lol

Hi Andrew,
First off, thank you so much for making this tutorial. You have by far done the best job I've seen anywhere.
I've been trying to find the "transcode particle" that you use and I can't seem to locate the plugin. I'm using the AE CS5 version 10.0.0.458. Wondering if you know an easier way than going through torrents?
cheers,
ana

This is a completely different type of animation but uses the same technique - combining multiple video clips with a single particle system:

This was ok, but here is what I think of when I hear "whispy".
I'd like to see more fluidity from the smoke. Instead of the smoke covering the text, it should become the body of the text.

I see you use Trapcode particular, is there an other way to make that smoke effect FROM SCRATCH? I would love to see (and it would be fairplay) something spectacular that doesn't need (but could) Twitch or Riot Gear or Trapcode p. YOU are the best at After Effects. Please, give us neebies hope that, one day, we too could be as good as you (or close to be) and show everyone that those plugins premade animations aren't absolutely essential.
Thank you.

You are really great. I am from Manipur, a small state from north eastern India. I really thank you for your tutorials. I am a filmaker. I request you to kindly post some tutorials for the following:
1) How to clone a large number of armies from a few, like those in the film MUMMIES. or a large number of audience like that of the gladiator.
2) How to create occean waves and how to make water splash when it hit rocks or shore or anything.
3) How to edit a film to make it real action?

Interesting work you've got here. I like this one better than the last one you did. I found this to be of more use. But isn't this in fact sort of like the one with the burning grenade?
Anyway, I've got a question for you, which I'm sure you won't answer since I suspect you don't read the comments, but I'll ask it anyhow:
Could one use the same method for say a teleportation? Because I remember in Harry Potter 6 I thing those 'death eaters' were all smoky at the final battle, and i was wondering if one could get the same effect using this method.
Also, you should do a tutorial about how to fake the underwater look, that would come in handy to some of us.
Best of luck,
Alex.

hey Andrew, what's up?
this is a very exciting tutorial
but i think you forgot the " smoke particles" eye switched off. So we didn't use Action essentials 2 Wisp.
So, what should we do with them. As we didn't use them in anything
hope you get that point.
anyway, Thanks in advance

I want you to know that I'm always a fan and I think that these text effects are amazing(probably the best available on the net).
but text effects are getting a little boring and repetitive. I think we need more like what you did for:
88. Disintegration
67. Advanced Car Hit
60. The Healer
56. 3D Eyeball
47. Audio to Animation
44. Day to Night Conversion
these tutorials really made me to be a fan of videocopilot.net,
thanks a lot for your grate work.

With the greatest respect to you, AK, I think the majority of AE users can perform this effect without this tutorial. I really love VC, but these days I'm loosing faith to see something really useful. I think you should create two sections for your tutorials. The 1st for beginners and the 2nd for someone who wants to see something difficult and useful. Thanks. Good luck.
