Using After Effects to animate a flock of birds from a still image. Use of AE particles involved.

[@breezesummer605]

The tutorial is absolute perfect! Thanks a lot!

[@francisbagul]

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial.
Creating a flock of birds using particle world never crossed my mind. This truely was amazing. Thank you for this. :)🙌

[@alla_rudenko]

Thank you very much for the lesson. I learned a lot about the particle world effect. A huge request to record a lesson on how to make these birds fly along the way. I tried to associate them with the null object, but it didn't work. I'm recently learning After Effect and can't figure out how to do it correctly.

Oh wow, this is some creative thinking.. I haven't watched it all yet but I love it so far. This technique will be useful when I do animated album/single covers. Thanks!

[@christophercontreras8813]

Followed this today. You did such a great job teaching this. Thank you! Quick question: I couldn't see "World Axis" tools next to the "Thumb tack" on the tool bar. I'm using Adobe AE CC. Would appreciate any guidance you have there. Thanks again!

[@revengmograph3564]

Sorry for the very late reply. Make sure your layer is 3D, then you should see the icon 2nd right of the pin.

[@mymunggoo]

[@Retrohertz]

@@revengmograph3564 You haven't done it.

[@Nicorgg1]

I'm working greatfully with the 3D bird and after pre-composing, it becomes 2D. I have no idea what is happening. Anyone? :(

[@naikmanthan1903]

hey again, all my parts are getting displaced after making the pre comp

[@redn9x]

Do you have ae project file sir 🖤

[@naikmanthan1903]

hey how do I create a composition with transparent background?

[@revengmograph3564]

Sorry for the way late response. Basically all comps are transparent by default.

[@Sirrom-ii9wm]

Your tutorial is not detailed for me. You are using keyboard short cuts. There are tons of things you assume I already know. Unfortunately I need this effect for my video.

[@daanthijssen1748]

Really, 30 minutes?

[@cratylusofathens9915]

You know, you could just go take a video of a flock of birds using an RCA camcorder instead of wasting all this time fooling around with internets.
