I think you should look to this video. It's an ink effect without stook footage or plugins.

I got a question Andrew Kramer

When I purchased this package the files was in a .swf format, what's that? They can't be played off in AE or any other programs, when I drag them over to AE all I get is a white peace of paper.

Everyone, the original After Effects was created by CoSA, which was the Company of Science and Art, before Aldus aquired them (and then Adobe aquired Aldus). Way back then, After Effects allowed us to do on a Mac what was normally done on high-end expensive SGI workstations. I've been using AE ever since version 1.0.

Thanks for all the great tutorials, Andrew.

Hi, I was watching your tutors and let me say: CONGRATULATIONS!!!, your page is pretty close to be the best in AE training, really!!!, I`m not an english speaker and I can understand all your speech, very better than others tutorial•s page, its amazing!!!.
I have a little question for you: It is possible to copy opacity data from one layer to paste in the brightness control of an effect o vice versa?,or to copy from an effect origin position to a layers position?, I try to do it directly and I cant in AE6.5 maybe in 7 its possible, I don`t know, your suggestion will be welcome, and thanks again for that magnificent tutorials

I like the way Andrew pumps himself up:
"That is looking great!"
Something I think I shall start implementing in my editing bay, even if people think I am crazy.

BTW - Has a Tutorial come out for the 3D Drop of the Creative Cows Title ? I created something similar using the Ford Oval, but never got the heavy feeling to it. May have just been a perspective thing.

Anyway - Keep up the grand work Andrew, learning more from you in five minutes then I have in all my years in this editing bay.

Keep it up. Cheers from Finland!

The first version I remember seeing was version 3.0. when I was producing spots for a local television station back in 1995, and I remember it used to take all night to render out just simple text effects.

I myself didn't start using AE until version 6.5 but I recently upgraded to version 7...I say all that to say...now it takes all night to render out a comp that's got a camera (with multiple moves), 6 lights (creating shadows), multiple layers with multiple effects on each layer.

AE has come so far!!

Great tut by the way...kickin' it ol' school!!

All the best,

Stuff like this makes me feel soooo oooold!!! I have flashbacks from my Cosa 1.0 and 3D Studio Dos r4 times and I have to say it's both good and bad. Things that used to be special and "hightech" are standard today. I hope to se some Strata Studio Pro (mac) tutorials some day. That HAVE to be a real pain in the but to make.

WOW Andrea, if you think you're old, I remember working with my brand-spanking new copy of 3D Studio DOS. (seriously).)

Hmmmm.... I always thought it was AndreW myself, must DEFINITELY be a sign of old age
Thats ok, I only have 5 years and I will be caught up with you!!

Oh yeah, about the tutorials.... good stuff! It is a nice feeling knowing that every once in a while even a PRO can't always find the button he is looking for.

I always enjoy hopping on this site to see what new and entertaining tutorials [AND COMMENTS] have been posted.

Have been a big fan since I knew about your site from Creative Cow.
The promos of your products are usually very good. It's a good idea that you start showing us more how you do it.

Thanks Again

This is hands-down the BEST tutorial website on the planet, and since some believe we're the only ones in the universe(what a joke), well i guess in the universe too. Anyways. I'm loving it!

WOW Andrea, if you think you're old, I remember working with my brand-spanking new copy of 3D Studio DOS. (seriously).

I just turned 35 today, (tyty, no applause, just throw money), and when I saw Andy's tutorial here I was reminded of the says when Aldus was bought by Adobe (sometime in 1994) and using my first copy of AE v2.0.
...and of course Power Animator & Dynamation (now known together as Maya).

Now THATS old, hehe...

...Don't you kids piss me off or I'll beat you with my cane! lol...

AE v4....very entertaining!

I have a brick of Total Training VHS tapes for version 4 still in the wrapper - never watched! If anyone wants them for their AE museum.

I just checked, and they still collect now just like they did back in the day.
