Easily animate falling leaves. Driftings and flowing, deforming along the path. No simulations. No plugins. Just simple puppet pin and motion path manipulations. As relaxing as an autumn day.
If you have any questions just let me know in the comments.

Honestly you are just so fantastic - you put tutorials up that are so simple yet so relevant and adaptable to any project. Thankyou!!
Love all the mouth sound effect. Your tutorial is very relaxed, I learned very well.
I absolutely admire your ability to make something seemingly so simple completely within After Effects. The design is really nice, I’m really diggin’ the style. Thanks for the ever helpful tuts.
Well, thank you very much. There is no limit to what can be done in Ae (in my opinion). It was near to work in a style I don't typically employ.
oh man, thanks so much for explaining how you texturized it, that was definitely the funnest part of the video. Just learning the weird stuff that you can do with basic effects
and that part was almost cut of time.
This was incredible, thank you for the great tutorials!!!!!!
9:31 I was totally anticipating you saying "Because I'm the puppet (pin tool) master!"
Nice tutorial, thank you ECAbrams :)
Amaziiiing tutorial, very clear and your voice is great :), helped me a lot, thank you 🌹🌹
I´m always happy to learn something new from you.
Thank u for one more amazing journey to After Effects!!!!
love this tutorial :) thank you !
Really enjoyed the texture tips/uses!
thank you I really appreciate this!
very good tutorial. Great advice on texturing!
amazing like always
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! You are a great teacher!
Beautiful !
you always pushing for unique great technique. amazing 👏
Awesome work!
beautiful falling leaves
this is awesome, thank you so much
Well done!
Thanks a lot ❤️
Sweet tutorial!
this was so helpful. you're a mograph king
Excellent tutorial !
i don't know if ive ever seen a video with zero dislikes. Bravo good sir!
I have a couple on here. Almost hate free. It's a great side effect of being a little known and pretty niche channel.
You are the best Sir 😊👌👌👌👌
When I searched for "how do I distribute the papers from the table to the floor"
I learned a lot from this course. Thanks
lol. Yeah I guess this fits that search.
Very impressed ~ detailed, precise and not over hurried ... !! :) db
Much appreciated!
Thanks for the tut!:)
I made a little expression if you don‘t want to keyframe the rotation:
*yourFramerate=25;* //put your Framerate in here
*x=transform.position.valueAtTime(time)[0];* //the position of the leaf
*y=transform.position.valueAtTime(time+1/yourFramerate)[0];* //the position of the leaf one frame ahead
*if(y>x) value+0;* //if the leaf falls to the right - don‘t turn
*else value+180;* //if the leaf falls to the left - turn
Very cool!
Fantastic
Would be cool to see a tut on snow particles falling.
nice leaves
Is "Freeze Frame" a faster method than "Enable Time Remapping" in a longer Comp and keyframing one frame only (which might make it easier to pick different iterations/variations made in the template "leave"?
Appreciate your tired thank you
You appreciate that I am tired? Finally, some sympathy!
nice
Hi, Evan! My background layer and trees turbulence noise have offsets, I mean the pattern is not seamless. Also, the gradient does not display on shape drawn by pen tool, noise doesn't show any grain( I restarted Ae CC17, didn help (( Help me plz) Thank u!
this is exactly what i needed! now how do i create a shadow for this same object?
You might use the drop shadow effect, or maybe a copy of the same layer but with a fill on it? Does that help?
Great tutorial! Except I encounter rotation issues. After I auto-orient, it starts to flip on the Y axis but shows no values in my rotations. So i manually key in the rotation values which are not consistent and toggle hold but that just makes it worse..Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but thanks anyway for making an amusing tutorial to follow along.
The layer will orient along the motion path. Check the bezier handles on the motion path. That might clear up what's going on. You will need to invert the rotation to account for hard turns and corners though.
Hi Abrams I have a problem with exactly what you say at min 12.03.
I'm using a pre-composition (with inside the shape layer), but when I put a pin on it, using the puppet tool, the layer results too pixelated... even if I am not collapsing transformations! So I don't know what could I do to fix it... do you have any tips? Thanks in advance.
you will want to use a much bigger leaf and scale down. Puppet pin bust rasterize to make the deformation mesh.
Evan I watched your book video where you flip the book and pages I'm trying to do it but it continuously shows me that.
Cinema 4d failed
Or
The connection failed
What should I do please help me out.
could be something bad with the install. I would just turn it off and on again. And if that doesn't work, reinstall Ae.
Abrams I am desesperate, I can't reprodruce the trees like you do. I have play around with the effects but I can't get it right, might be the curves effect. At 19.11 you go through the effect but without the details, what setting are you using with the effects ?
I think for the curves I just make the curve more steep to crush the values or make them more extreme. Does that make sense?
those sound effects tho
It's one of the central characteristics of the ECAbrams tutorial brand.
Bob Ross said - it doesn't work if you don't make the sounds!
There should be a download for the sound effects, really!
The tutorial was great, I just had a problem at the end when applying tint, the pattern didn’t remain a solid, Once It followed the path the pattern moved around, I think I may have clicked something by accident 😫
interesting. Perhaps the collapse transformations switch for the layer?
8:00 my graph doesn't look like that at all 😭😭 it has a red line and a green line...
Sounds like you're looking at the Value graph. you'll want to switch to look at the Speed graph in the graph's view options down at the bottom of the panel. I hope that helps.
Great tutorial, but please show us how you did the trees. Mine look terrible and nothing like yours here! 😆
thanks. We use the same process as the leaf texture, but with different rotation and scale options inside the fractal. It can take some experimentation to dial in how you want it to look, but it's worth it to understand what dials change which parts of the effect. Does that make sense?
@@ECAbrams It does. I've done some tweaking and made things look better, but your tree bark somehow looks simultaneously more defined AND softer than mine, and the faux lighting with the gradient and curves never quite looks right. Mine always looks more like a log on fire than an actual abstract tree. I suspect some blend mode or adjustment layer shenanigans in the final comp. 😄
@@kieranlefort Could be the types of grain I'm using. But a lot of it is down to levels of detail or complexity in the fractal. The big thing is to have further objects be less distinct than close objects. I think I tried to fake a focal plane with little amounts of gauss blur in there too.
@@ECAbrams Yeah, I've just started applying some blurs to things. I always enjoy faking three-dimensional DOF with 2D layers.
The file deosnt work :(
Send me an email, maybe I can help you troubleshoot your issues.
is this free to use?
The intent is that people learn techniques and apply them to make original works. But, do what you feel is right.
@@ECAbrams thank u!
Pghh shhh woah woah, give it a lil puff of. woah pshh wghh pghh woah puffing up the middle Pff shhh
