FINALLY Someone who can actually make REAL Tutorials. Very nicely done. Perfect length and no fumbling around and side track discussions like other tutorials out there. Well if you consider this intermediate I'd really like to see your advanced stuff.!! I am sure it will be quite challenging but with your approach quite FUN. Thanks again for a great tutorial.
For those wondering about the lack of 'Fast Blur' in more recent versions of AE, please try 'Gaussian Blur' instead of the recommended Fast Box Blur - Gaussian does the same job and the settings are the same as seen on screen in this tutorial. You could use Fast Box Blur, but the settings are different to those shown in the tutorial, which may confuse some users at that crucial end point. Gaussian Blur provides the same great result as seen in the video. 10/10 tutorial! Fast, clean, no rambling, and now my project looks sooo much better than what I was going to hand in - thank you! I've subbed.
The one problem I had originally working with Particles was I never realized in order to stop them from being produced you have to animate the birth rate to 0. I figured it out through this tutorial, and it seems so simple but I think that may be a problem others who are new to particles may have. My first several I created were infinite. So my tip to beginners in particles is to remember to animate the birth rate to 0 when you want them to stop.
As someone who appreciates what you do on your free time to help others. I would like to thank you for all the work you have done and the thousands of hours spent on consistant free tutorials. if there is a heaven you have earned a spot. thanks Tobias for everything you have done
Awesome. You are one of the best AE/Adobe teacher on TH-cam. Love it. You're clear, concise, take your time, and most of all, engaging. Definitely a BIG find for me when I came across your channel. Thank you for doing what you do for the community, and I can only hope to know a fraction of what you know by watching your videos.
+MrJaneails22x Everyone assumes I know a lot because I make videos. Every video is just the result of me learning something new and wanting to share it :) Glad you liked it!
Not sure what happened, but after entering the expression (which has no errors), the number next to birth rate is in red at 0.0, and I can alter it, but as soon as I accept a new number (20 as you said in the video, but any number) it reverts back to 0.0 in red, and no sparks are showing up in my comp. Not sure what I did wrong. Expressions are my weakness in after effects for sure. I know this tut is old, but seems like a basic VFX skill worth knowing!
It was replaced with the Fast Box Blur effect in later versions of AE - community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/fast-blur-missing/td-p/9259096
Hello, despite Fast Box Blur being the replacement for Fast Blur, for the purposes of this particular tutorial give "Gaussian Blur" a try. The settings are the same as you see on screen in this tutorial and it does the same job 👍
+Surfaced Studio That`d be a cool effect but would like it to be digital and more "ink-on-paper-ish". Only seen tutorials where you need plugins, so maybe its out of AE`s reach as a standalone feature.
Wow! I have always wanted to make sparks like this but videocopilots sparks are to long and when I trim them, they look messy! Now I can make my own sparks! Thanks!
+pokemonsoulfreak211 I can't give any guarantees for when (or even if) I make a certain tutorial. I have a big backlog and limited time so I do what I feel is the most useful thing to teach next - or whatever I currently find useful :)
+Surfaced Studio How do you make the particles appear at preset times instead of random ones (like you did with your hand). I am making a lightsaber battle scene and need the sparks to appear only when the lightsabers collide.
+Tevilah Check out my main particle tutorial. It's always the same technique, the only thing you'll be tweaking are the parameters for the particle behaviour and looks to create whatever effect you want :)
Can you make a tutorial going over how to use the AE CC 2015 Face Tracker? I've scoured the internet, and I still don't know what expressions I need to properly anchor a layer to multiple face points, thus making things GENUINELY look like masks; the layer translates and rotates along with the face, as well as the perspective changing if the subject were to twist their head to the side.
Liam Wiebe All I know is, in the video on Adobe's website, they show off what the Face Tracker can be used for. And in the final product, the masks they put on their subjects LOOK realistic.
+fireclaw316 you should check out ECAbrams video then, he's very good at explaining various topics and the video is over 15 min long, I'm sure you would at least know more about face tracking after watching it
hey can you make one video how to do color correction and color grading i know you already made one video on that but i really dont understand that what i have to do first color correction or color grading and after doing this still my video get that cenamatic which i want plzzzz one video on that
+Passion Dreams Productions I have two full tutorials to cover both colour correction th-cam.com/video/qnuDYyiHQJ8/w-d-xo.html and colour grading th-cam.com/video/HPlS9DtPbRo/w-d-xo.html Is there anything in particular that remains unclear to you?
You can't. You create the effect in After Effects and the software is not free. You can however find some free stock footage here: www.surfacedstudio.com/blog/best-action-stock-footage-for-film-making-visual-effects
Loved the video, can the random function be controlled by a random seed? Just so I can get rid of the "CONTROL" layer and just set the both "Sparks" Layer to the same random seed?
You didn't got my problem... I know the basics of after effects n i know after effects well. I want to know how do u add special effects sound..... For eg. you added sparks sound effect.... That i want to know how you added... Thanks.... Regards.... Vinit lalan
Unfortunately no. If you want more advanced physics / particle effect you will likely have to use a 3D program as particles in AE are a bit limited in what you can do
Dear Tobias, I love your videos, the quality of your tutorials is the best on youtube, but could you please make a tutorial on how to make an effect of a bullet shell flying out of the gun? it would mean a lot to me
+Крекер Hi, the easiest way to achieve that (without doing a complete 3D effect) is simply to use some bullet shell stock footage. Here's a post on where I get mine: www.surfacedstudio.com/blog/best-action-stock-footage-for-film-making-visual-effects
Great tutorial!! But my only problem is what if i want the spark to come out on a very specific time of the video? And i want it to appear for only 1 sec?
Hey Tobias, got another question for you (You've answered me before regarding something different before, and it was easy to follow and to the point, which is nice). I've watched your glow tutorial, and I'm trying to to re-color an explosion in my footage to red, but can't seem to get it looking natural... I've tried the Change to Color effect, but that doesn't seem o do anything to my bright explosion, and when it does it looks blocky. If there any way around that? A different effect perhaps? I've also tried just adding a round shape and have it glow red, but that just looks unnatural. Thanks!
+Taha C Hi, it might be tricky to make an explosion all red and still look 'natural'. I would give the Curves effect a try and bring down the G and B channels. Or you could use a Hue/Saturation effect OR try the awesome Color Vibrance plugin from Video Copilot (it's free)
Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely give all those a shot a little later (though I think I've tried adjusting curves already), I'm having some CPU heat issues atm and don't wanna overwork it until it's taken care of =]
hi.. how can I make the spark like already there.?? I want to make like fireworks fountain.. but not start from small spark.. i want to make the spark already big and have constant animation like that.. thank you..
Check out my particle beginner tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/rrJltaqlNxE/w-d-xo.html You will simply have to tweak the parameters of the particle effect :)
Click on the error icon and have a look at the details of the error. You may have some copy/paste issue or your layer names are different. Also, if you're new to Expressions, check out this beginner tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/WNmwIbscmm0/w-d-xo.html
@@SurfacedStudio thank you that is helpful. Is there a way to have more control over the timing of the sparks? How can I keyframe them to "burst" exactly on the frame I want?
+Poker_ Fce You can slow down the frame-rate but that won't give you good looking slow-motion. For proper slow motion you have to shoot your footage with a high frame rate, then slow them down to e.g. 24FPS. There is also Twixtor (plug-in) but it can be a bit hit and miss depending on the shot you are trying to slow down
+Region Explorer Hi, I've got a blog post on cameras and lenses that I use (and what I recommend) here: www.surfacedstudio.com/cameras-and-lenses-for-film-makers
thanks, i have made a lot of short films for the past two years and i love it, i've mostly used point and shoots and my phone but i'm looking into getting into dslrs for filming
This is my first attempt with After Effects, and I have 1 quick question: How do I set the sparks so that they do not repeat at all... I want them to occur only when two objects collide (so I plan to have the effect begin at the point of impact in the main clip). Thanks for this great tutorial!
Just animate the birth rate to come up from 0 to your desired amount, then animate back to 0. Done :) Also, if you're new to AE, check out my beginner tutorial series - th-cam.com/video/pyvyRKtvGXU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the quick response! I'll definitely watch those others. I've been using Premiere Pro for a while, but this is first time to use AE. I've subscribed to your channel. Great stuff!
how can i slow down the speed of the sparks when the fall? Ive tried lowering the birth rate and velocity but it doesnt seem that either of these slow down the speed that the sparks fall
Surfaced Studio thank you for actually replying lol a lot of big channels wouldn't, btw great tutorial definitely helped for a project I'm creating that is trying to be similar to a battlefield 1 feel if you've heard of that game

+Surfaced Studio Yeah, i get how to actually do the lightsaber but i can never find a tutorial on how to do the battle FX, sparks flying off, lasers flying about etc
+Surfaced Studio Ok, Ill try that. But sometimes when I set my rendering to Fast Draft, this thing happens. But when I set it to default(I dont remember how its called) , it applies and everything works fine. Sorry for my english, maybe it's not very good.
Hey!Sufaced Studio!!!...I really really love your videos because they help me a lot with my editing skills!!!!But I would really love to watch a video on how you created your intro like the spraying effects and all the spray effects please.....
+Poker_ Fce Hey, thanks for the feedback. The intro is all manually animated splat layers I created in Photoshop. Then added some Twitch (for glitch effects) and used Video Copilot's Disintegration tutorial for the text :)
@@SurfacedStudio Thanks for your answer. Yes, if I don’t hook, it works, but what I’m looking for most of all is to increase the duration of breaks between sparks. What can you advise me?
+Emad Eljoker a) I just did 2 videos on titles / logos. b) you can't remove background music from songs - unless you know how to use a DAW and are a master at audio engineering

But what if I can't see the opacity map ? or the viscose option? :(
+saionjisan Maybe you're running a really old version of AE?

CS6 definitely has those options, they're not new features
hmmmm then it's strange :/
Thanks for the tutorial .

hi can you show us how to make a 3d gaming intro in adobe after effects please
Great video
I have a problem: When I apply an effects to text (2D) Its allright. But when i make my text a 3D layer, effects dissapears. Any advice?
+Dovydas Ki 2D and 3D layers are treated differently and it depends on the effect you are applying to. What are you trying to do with the text?
+Surfaced Studio When I apply fractal noise to my text, it makes text look like fractal noise. But when I make it 3D, fractal look gones.
You can always pre-compose the 3D text layer and then apply the effect to that
+Surfaced Studio Ok, Ill try that. But sometimes when I set my rendering to Fast Draft, this thing happens. But when I set it to default(I dont remember how its called) , it applies and everything works fine. Sorry for my english, maybe it's not very good.
can i get the exact expression right here?
Do you have trouble seeing it in the video?
@@SurfacedStudio I tried but couldnt sink it
Hey!Sufaced Studio!!!...I really really love your videos because they help me a lot with my editing skills!!!!But I would really love to watch a video on how you created your intro like the spraying effects and all the spray effects please.....
+Poker_ Fce Hey, thanks for the feedback. The intro is all manually animated splat layers I created in Photoshop. Then added some Twitch (for glitch effects) and used Video Copilot's Disintegration tutorial for the text :)
Thanks A Lot!!!Your'e the best!BUT....I wonder how did you animate a picture....??
9:36 the value 20 doesn't work at all
Does it work if you don't hook your birth rate to the slider value?
@@SurfacedStudio Thanks for your answer. Yes, if I don’t hook, it works, but what I’m looking for most of all is to increase the duration of breaks between sparks. What can you advise me?
One suggestion for another visual effect tutorial is blowing up a planet, what's your opinion on that tobias
+ZAMORKSTONE I can put it in my backlog, but can't promise when or if I'll get around to it :)
Jesus christ this guy is VASCULAR
