Great tutorial! Holds up in 2023 and is certainly helpful for any smoke effect needs! I personally am using this for my stinger transition on my twitch streams. Works excellently!
Awesome Tutorial - To ADD Color to it, it is simple. Create a New Solid (right click-new solid) and cover the smoke + pick the color you wish. Then change the Opacity to something like 30% - you can always add more having it travel through different colors etc.
The explanation was excellent, with distinction. It's the first time I've followed steps from an After Effects tutorial on TH-cam and succeeded on the first try. I understood it and was able to apply the steps in a way that I want.
Is there any way someone could type out the thing to make the smoke move so I can copy-paste it? It keeps saying I had an error in it when I type it up.
how can I change it so it moves from right to left or from up to down? [value[0]+time*100,value[1]-time*20] What does each element stand for? Thanks so much!
Hi! To adjust the movement direction, modify the expression values: value[0] controls horizontal movement (X-axis). value[1] controls vertical movement (Y-axis). For right-to-left, subtract time*value from value[0]. For up-to-down, add to value[1]. Example: [value[0]-time*100, value[1]+time*20]. Hope this clears it up. Cheers! 🎥✨
Thanks so much for the tutorial! Got a bit stuck a couple of times, but that was purely my own errors. I'm extremely new to After Effects and have to learn quickly for work projects. Tutorials like this are a godsend!
@@troofytray666 If you still want it: Make sure that in the Evolution options Cycle evolution is ticked, and the expression on evolution should resemble something like this: time*(360/5). The 360/5 is based on making sure that the evolution "rotates" a full rotation, the 5 (in my case) is half my composition's time (which is 10 seconds) then it loops perfectly for me.
i used this method to add smoke to my steam artwork. worked perfectly but a steam artwork loops forever and when it loops you can see it. is there any way to make the animation smoother when it loops?
Hi! To loop your smoke effect, you can right-click the layer, select Time > Enable Time Remapping, and then create a loop by duplicating the keyframes. Alternatively, use the Loop Expression by holding Alt and clicking the stopwatch on the Time Remap property, then typing loopOut(). Hope that helps!
for some reason when i do this on a solid and change the blending mode to 'multiply' so it creates a smokey layer above the floor, the evolution controls stop working! its just a crappy still :/
I don't know if I'm dumb, or the video is outdated- but half the stuff in this video- when I go to do it literally "doesn't work". The opacity thing won't turn down at all- even when I put it at 0%. When i create the mask, it won't let me select the corners like you do.
[value[0]+time*100,value[1]-time*20]
Thanks Asi
thank you
Thank you
Bless you.
thanks

or u can just add tint

Thanks a lot! it works

You're very welcome!

7 months later and is still saving some time
you are a god
5 years later and this tutorial is EXCELLENT!🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the video!
Especially the feather part was really helpful, thanks!
Thank you so much!!! You explained it very friendly, slowly and informatively. It was very helpful! Thank you!
Hi guys. Is there a way to loop this whole animation to make it endless smoke generator?
Also is there a way to add color to that effect?
As simple as effective, thanks a lot man!
TNice tutorials one is really good, among all other basics videos
Correct me if i'm wrong, but It's not looping, is it?
Agreed. All the others just turn your brain upside down. Nice tutorials is simple.
can you please tell me what you type at 03:33? Got an error > Expression mistake
to add color i just downloaded video copilot VC color vibrance. by the way it was awesome tutorial. Thank you
Thank you for the tutorials, i find it is helpful to create some new idea for video....
How do you adjust the speed of the smoke? Is that the evolution number or the offset turbulence?
thanks man this really helped me with my school work you absolute legend ahahahahahaha
xxxxx
Amazing tutorial. Was laughing at me pausing and rewinding for the [value blah blah etc]
what a legend! thanks!
Your explanation is really cool.
thank you for your tutorial! can you tell me how to make a loop on this effect?
Thank you in advance .
This is what tutorials should be like. Thanks a lot.
Is there any way someone could type out the thing to make the smoke move so I can copy-paste it? It keeps saying I had an error in it when I type it up.
Great tutorial for real. Thanks alot. Thumbs up, subscribed.
Thanks! I learn something new every day! Now I can create a spooky fog for my Halloween Special video!
Glad we could help!

thank you, very helpful!

What if I want to loop it to a gif so it ends just like it started so it's not too much choppy when the loop ends?
same question, a year later :(

Thanksss a lottt brother it helped me a lot🔥
Glad to hear that
Great tutorial thank you
Thank you broo . it helps a lot
Happy to help
Looks good)
I maked similar effects and use movement points border mask in time, for more expressivenes, sorry for my English)
hello , thanks author for the tutorial ,i have question though , how to slow down the way smoke moving ?
I have the same question but it seems nobody answered you in a year
@@elitgunz2459 Woo, heres to another year
This was a great tutorial but how do I loop it please no one has a video on it

You're welcome!
How could I get the smoke to move slower?
How you start setuping can you do a video on that
ty for tutorial, you are the best!
I can't see what u have written at down for loop a animation please mention if anyone has cleared
love it!
What if someone would like the smoke does a loop animation?
Thanks, awesome...✌
The offset turbulence won't loop. Anyone know how to make that work?
I love the tutorial! Just wonder, how can you get erase some of the smoke?
beautiful
Is it possible to make the end meet up with the start so you can create an "endless 1min" loop?
are u get a answer for this question i need at too
I also need it
I have no loop able transaction on turbulence offset with this expression can anyone can tell me why?
would love to know how to change the color of the smoke ?
I put a tri tone effect on it and made it dust on a dirt road.
Thanks for the tutorial, exactly what i wanted/needed. Subbed!
yea same here.
truly wonderful!
Nice tutorial
Great video!!!
awesome dude, nice video, but what if i want the smoke to go from the bottom to the top? what code shoul i write?
Thank you very much. Such an easy an calm explanation. :)
The video was so helpful!Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Had a great time following along like so!
Thanks!
Thanks. Awesome
Welcome 😊
Thank you
Hey thank you for this video, I just want to know if it’s possible to make my smoke more noticeable on brighter surfaces?
Thank you for the video! it was very helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
How do i loop this smoke animation?
awesome dude! it helped me a lot,keep up the good work! Subbed
THX!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great, thank you. Is it simple to make it loopable?
You can adjust the time of the layer to the end of the evolution and then duplicate the layer and reverse it then finally put it after the first solid
Great tutorial, but how do you do it on a transparent background?
Render with Alpha
Great, Thanks!
Excelent!! Thank you
how would you make it less blurry or look more realistic
how do you extend the time of the loop
it doesn't have a smooth loop like yours does
Thanks for this amazing tutorial!
Ur awesome
why use code instead of just keyframing?
Thanks you so much!! You`ve help me a lot!!
bro this smoke can transparance?
Perfect tutorial, thank you!
Is it possible to create seamless smoke loop? Maybe with crossfade? A tutorial would be great! 🙏
thanks alot very nice and easy to follow along
Is the smoke color able to be changed to red?
Awesome tuto, thanks !
Amazing video. It was so clear and easy to follow. Thank you
thanks great job
Thank you! It is still very helpful! :)
How do you slow the flow down?
thank you very much man
for some reason when i do this on a solid and change the blending mode to 'multiply' so it creates a smokey layer above the floor, the evolution controls stop working! its just a crappy still :/
Thank you very much good sir.
thanks!!!!
Hi, how could I Loob the smoke from 0 to 30 Sce and meek it look like Infinite
Thanks for the tutorial!
very helpful! Thank you :)

I figured it out. I gues I was on the "layer" instead of the "composition" if that even makes sense.
Thank you very much!! It was an easy to follow step by step, i appreciate this :)
So easy to understand! Thank you!
