Thank you 😊. Just open the mask and select the “Path” attribute. Then copy the path open the shape layer and paste it into it’s “Path” attribute. Hope it was clear.
The subsurface scattering teqnique is amazing...Iwill recreate it(the lightning)with cc particles world fx,with some glows and all...with a custom depth map...perhaps from runway ml...btw its so incredible ❤️❤️
@@abogharbia60 just watch the tutorial from Andrew Kramer on how to link cc particles world to a null object...I'll do it with the combo of some other FX👍
Love the tutorial, Everything seems to work for me until the part 5:02 where he plays with the wiggle. My path does not change when I move the numbers. Also at min 4:32 when he copies the path into the shape layer, his layer says "path" and mine says "mask path" not sure if that is the problem.
Thank you. I know this tutorial has been criticized for being too fast. So I might left things out that I took for granted. Sorry for that. I’m not in front of After Effects now but I try to give you a quick help. Try to select the “Path” parameter when you paste the path. Then it won’t be a mask path. And that’s the reason why wiggle doesn’t work. Because it’s a mask path, not a shape layer path. I hope that helps😊. If not I’ll be at my desk in 14 hours again 😎
two line equations the Start line and one end line and make the one equation approach the second equation as it gets closer to the point of interception. That's the maths I would use to do lightning bolts with some touch ups.
this is the best lightning tut I've seen for this effect. please can you do us a solid and make that raw mov footage available? that would be awesome ^_^ thanks a lot for this tutorial. you're a champ ^_^
Thank you so much. I’ve just finish to create the effect it was long but until it s beatiful . I’ve learn a lot of things grace your video. You are amazing. (Thais comment was donne without plug-in)
Hi 👋. It’s hard to tell without seeing it. Does your footage have the same frame rate as your composition? Did you slow the footage down? Or is your footage a screen capture and has duplicate frames? Maybe your footage is untrackable because it’s too dark or noisy? Or maybe it looks as if it’s vibrating on screen but looks perfect when rendered 😊
@@MichaelPonch im like 3 days new to this software so it's absolutely not your fault if I don't understand much. I love The Flash and started to learn Ae to be The Flash, I followed tutorials of "Film Learnin", quite good but nowhere as realistic as your one! So maybe just speak out every click you make and that would help a person who just wanna do cool stuff like this. Thanks! Looking forward to more awesome VFX tuts.
Sorry, when my tut is too fast. You select the pen tool (top bar) and draw into the composition window. Make sure no layer is selected. Otherwise you would create a mask path. Hope that helps 😊
Let’s be bluntly honest; as an after effects artist, you are brilliant. As a teacher, you are completely clueless! There’s nobody in the world who could even begin to follow this tutorial. But let’s be again honest, this is not a tutorial this is you showing off. And who needs it!
yeah I still can't get passed copying the mask path and turning it into a curved line. Mask path is attached to mask so everytime I try to copy the path, it just copies the whole mask and I don't get a shape. just the mask
Hallo 😊. Bitte nicht die Maske (z. B Mask 1) sondern die Maske aufklappen, wo eine Attribute zum Vorschein kommen (Mask Path, Mask Feather etc.). Und genau da das Attribut Mask Path auswählen und kopieren. Ich gebe zu, meine Tutorial ist ein wenig zu fast paced 😂. Ich hoffe, ich habe Dein Problem richtig verstanden und kann Dir damit helfen 😎
@@rafadip8162 "If you want to take a mask and convert it to a shape layer then all you have to do is select the mask path, copy that, then use the pen tool (keyboard shortcut g) to draw any path in the comp window. You then spin down the shape layer's Contents, drill down to Shape>Path, then select the path and paste."
It would've been cooler if: 1. You added more than just one lightninbolt 2. Apply a trim path effect. But generally speaking this tutorial is beyond great.
Hey I love the tutorial idc that it’s too fast you can alwaays slow it down but I have a question I’m at the point where I added the wiggle paths but for some reason anything I do isn’t changing the line I made. If anyone can answer my question would be greatly appreciated!!
@@secretchannelforhomework1075 i moved around a bit ended up finding it I think the path was like in some weird obscure location I think a separate vid helped me find out best of luck sorry I wasn’t of much help.
Hi !!! There is a way to had chromatic aberration to only the lightning for example? But in general i mean put that effect to only one particular part of the image ?
I'm suddenly interested in making The Flash special effects, But ... My Brain is like: Why am I still here, Just to Suffer. 😂 It is looking well made! I wonder if you use Cinema 4D to make this, Would be Better?🤔
Thank you. I think in C4D you would get more control over the shape & the course of the bolts. And it’s real 3D 😊. However, i would still create the final look (glows etc) in After Effects 😎
I’m sorry man. This is a video that I edited too fast. And I failed to explain that this is expert stuff. If you are patient I will publish a simplified template for it. Otherwise there are other great tutorials out there 😊
when I rotoscope the copy footage layer, the effects work up until a certain spot, and then they bug out and disappear, how do I fix this. (I do have to get this done very soon so any help would be fantastic)
Hi 👋. What happens excactly? The effects just disappear completely? Or do they look glitched? Could be many reasons. Is the footage properly rotoscoped until the end? Did tracking work properly throughout the footage? Is everything covered by another layer? Do you have enough RAM?
@@MichaelPonch it seems like the effects just disappear after a certain frame. After some process of elimination, it turns out the issue is somewhere with the rotoscoped layer, the rotoscoped mask disappears after a certain frame
bro ich bekomme es nicht hin, du erklärst das zu ungenau und zeigst vieles nicht. für einen, der sich damit nicht auskennt mit mocha und so. bei mir kommen diese blitze nicht
Hey! Hast Recht. Das ist eines meiner wenigen Videos, wo ich von Basiswissen ausgehe und nur die relevanten Schritte zeige. Aber lade Dir bitte mein kostenloses Flash-Template runter. Im Grunde basiert dieses Template auf diesem Tutorial 😊 th-cam.com/video/NG9Ye5w6rrk/w-d-xo.html
Sorry man. The tutorial is more about to give an general idea which techniques I would use. A step by step tutorial would’ve been 2 hours long. But thanks for watching it anyway.
Yes, I know it's fast, sorry for that. My newest tutorials are mostly step-by-step :). The wiggle path operator must be placed AFTER the Stroke operator. Then it should work.
@@MichaelPonch already did ☺️🙏🏼, right now I’m struggling to copy it to my video, either the adjustment layer is a big white screen over my video or I can’t copy the tracked motion points over to the sub-composition (I hope you understand what I mean I‘m a complete newbie) 😩
@@mike.ripped Really hard to explain with words when you are a beginner. but I'll try :). Track your footage inside the composition, link the Control Nulls to your tracked Null (via the link pickwhip) and reposition them to match your tracked Null. But then switch the video off to make it unaffected by the adjustment layer. Instead make a new video composition, put the Light Stroke composition on top and set blending mode to Add or Screen. I hope that helps a bit :)

man is it possible to get 1 on 1 help, I am on the part where its suppose to wiggle but doesnt do anything

How do you copy only the mask path? Every time I try, it copies the whole mask.
Sorry that my tutorial is a bit fast. Just open the parameters of the mask until you find “path”. Select the name “path” and copy. That should work 😎

@@rafadip8162 you want to copy just a part of your mask? So you have multiple masks in one path?
