    Thanks for stopping by, everyone. These speed trails can get as crazy and excellent looking as you have the time for - so enjoy! Lemme know of any effects you've seen in trailers you'd like to see covered here.

    Wow, that's a really good one. Honestly, even if you are familiar with trapcode, and know about the echo effect, displacement and everything you are showing in this tutorial, you will still learn so much from this! Thanks a lot!! Really appreciate all the work that went into this!!

  • @Alfie_Johnson

    THANK GOD! I've been waiting for some genuinely good super speed tutorials from the flash/sonic/quicksilver kind of looks for soo long. Happy to see one of my favorites, red giant covering it

    @irishpolyglot 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This channel is the best. Your little side-jokes like Batman running or the Sonic burger with lightning make me genuinely laugh out loud more than I do to most comedy TH-cam channels I'm subscribed to!
    I have the full Red Giant suite of plugins, and always feel like I'm using 0.0001% of what I could, but these videos help me learn more both for those and for After Effects tricks. I genuinely want to make a Sonic running video now lol.
    Keep up the good work!!
    Also, Oh my god, Becky, look at those shadows!

    Great tut, Hashi. For those limited street lights you could just reused the same lights. Once they left the focal area in the scene just move them to the next light position. You probably could've gotten away with just using maybe 4 point lights for the street lamps.

    HI How do you get SteadyBake to export the correct material maps? I keep trying and it exports the materials but then it loads as a grey model in Element, i can then try and link the textures but they are not mapped properly?

    Hey folks, would appreciate some help on the normalising world technique. The same issue has arisen on multiple tracked scenes. When I parent all my 3D objects to my ground plane, everything shifts to a new world space. When I normalise by adjusting the position and orientation of my ground plane and un-parent everything, all my tracked solids are off, including my ground plane. I'm running latest version of AE. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? P.S love these tutorials Hashi.

    • @LastbutNotFirst
      @LastbutNotFirst 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      simple man.. put in a video clip. select that layer. add time warp. .. then go back to the layer, right click, go to time effect but select "enable time warp".. then you'll see a layer below your movie clip.. with a start location and finish location, move them to where you want. viola. - place your timewarp above all other effects of that movie clip so your other effects work.
