How did you even find this 😳 I love that you've started to do more vfx videos, your skills are so diverse that your channel has become the go to for anything design related! Thanks for your awesome tutorials dude.
This is one of the most feature-packed, well explained AE tutorials I have ever seen. Thanks for the pre-tutorial explanation of the bouncing balls bit, and how you demonstrate the overall effect using 3 layers. Simply brilliant!
This channel keeps blowing my mind, truly. I discovered it back when the Text Bleed effect video came out and I was obsessed with trying to replicate it in After Effect and didn't find anything that would allow for things to work like "actions" and just continually re-apply the same effect incrementally. Ben Marriot tried to and I worked well but now how I envisioned it, and here we are and you guys come up with this unused effect to figure it out. I've been watching tutorials for more than a decade and this is the only channel that comes up with really innovative things. This channel could easily become the Video Copilot for motion and graphic designers once it gets even more eyes on it. Thank you so much for the work and I'm going to put my next paycheck to work by supporting this channel on Pateron
Nice! As it happens, that Color Bleed video was actually 100% based on messing around with Time Blend Fx. So the funny thing is I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get the effect out of AE and into Photoshop! And thank you for the kind words about the channel. There are definitely some solid channels out there… the exciting stuff seems to be more AE than Photoshop with Marriott, Jake in Motion, +++. But the Kramer videos were from some other planet! So it’s very cool to even be considered somewhere in the same camp. Cheers and thanks!
Such a tiny world! I solved that issue ia AE with a script, but now I'll try it with this. Such a powerful effect, I hope they'll bring it back and maybe polish it if possible
@@Texturelabs That's so cool! I think you guys should definitely revisit the ink bleed for another tutorial. Not counting the countless of ways the Time Blend Fx could be used to get smooth and organic animation "for free" I'll add Academy of Edits to the list of criminally underrated channels for anyone reading this. @Kathalas I would be definitely interested in finding out how you went about it with scripting. It is a tiny world ¡Salud!
Hey there, I am relatively new to after effects and managed to follow this tutorial just fine! I was wondering if you would be able to help me with something though please, when my logo turns to smoke, the smoke effect fills the entire screen where as I want it to fade quicker and closer to the logo itself, is there a simple fix for this please? I may have gone wrong somewhere, any help or advice would be much appreciated thankyou! :)
Incredible, I'm almost speachless. The amount of details in your explanation, how well you put things together making them easy to grasp and the nice touches like combining this tutorial with Jimi Hendrix are just a delight for my brain. Just great stuff, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! 🙏
@@Texturelabs This is like watching a wizard at work. Not just the skills, but the teaching fluency - two very difficult skills juggled at once. Superb.
Brady, fantastic tutorial as always, you are true inspiration, thank you. For everyone who has a glitchy preview and render problem, here is the solution ( I made same setup as in tutorial ): After Effects Settings: • In Composition>Preview, be sure to uncheck Cache Frames When Idle • In Preferences>Memory & Performance, turn off Multi-Frame Rendering Preview and Render: • Move the time indicator to the beginning of the timeline, then turn off all adjustments layers above text layer (COPY, EFFECTS, PASTE), then turn on PASTE adjustment layer, and use Edit>Purge All Memory and Disk Cache and start a Preview. • Repeat for the EFFECTS and COPY adjustment layers to get all 3 adjustment layers in RAM memory. Thats it, preview should be smooth now. I made a test render and everything was fine. Good luck
I've been using After Effects for 15 years, and this is probably the most well-explained tutorial I've ever watched. And the effect is cool, too! Great work.
I went from being fairly new in AfterEffects to smoking out my logo within a few hours thanks to watching this tutorial over and over and tweaking the smoke to get it to move the way I wanted. Really appreciated the explanations of what settings actually do!
Man, I've done this effect before but without the time blending, which took way more time to get decent looking and not close to as organic as this. This is a game changer for smoke effects in AE! Thanks for these great videos! Keep 'em coming!
Right on, ya it was tough to decide on whether to focus on smoke, fire, weird ink effects... it's pretty crazy how much stuff you can land on with this thing!
Hey there, I am relatively new to after effects and managed to follow this tutorial well so far! I was wondering if you would be able to help me with something though please, when my logo turns to smoke, the smoke effect fills the entire screen where as I want it to fade quicker and closer to the logo itself, is there a simple fix for this please? I may have gone wrong somewhere, any help or advice would be much appreciated thankyou! :)
I've been looking all over for this effect! I knew there was a effect where you could set one to copy and one to paste. In the end I thought I must have misremembered, but here it is! Mystery solved. Thanks :) Also, great application of the effect! I hope they include it again...
I know that feeling for sure... Agreed, but hard to say. I actually did find some obscure Abode thread in which someone at the company said it was Cycore FX that pulled the plug on it rather than Adobe. Weird that it still comes with the program in some way (but I'm glad it's there for now!)
This tutorial has helped me finally realize that building my own effects is not only possible, but infinitely better than downloading mediocre effects from random websites. I’ve been using downloads as a crutch for too many years and need to up my game. Thank you for this, I am excited about edits for the first time in a few years.
Mesmerizing intro. I'm not yet using AE but can't seem to stop watching...incredible, strange, complex tutorial. Can't fathom the time & brainpower & creativity this took - thanks!
That's fun to hear. I created the bouncing ball after recording the whole video, but somehow found that to be the most hypnotic image, especially at 6fps
I was literally at 3:54 mins and the way you explained the effect I hit the subscribe button. After a long time a person who understands the craft enough to teach and ease it down to make others understand as well. Not just some guy telling you how to do it.
at the preview: some smoke, probably particles, nice! at the end: did he just bend time and space to create smoke??? With every second of your videos you keep blowing my mind sir. Thank you!!!
Mind-blowing! This effect looks like something done in Trapcode, it's amazing that it's all native AE (with a super secret effect). Thanks for doing AE tutorials in addition to the Photoshop content, I get so much out of them!
Another exceptional tutorial, that you won't find elsewhere. It is infuriating that so many mediocre vfx channels have a massive following, while this oneis still relatively small in comparison. Absolute top of my list together with 7 minutes AEfx. You guys are a class of your own.
Absolutely amazing! You folks produce the best After Effects and Photoshop videos on RU-vid. Thank you so much for all the helpful hints and tutorials!
this tutorial feels like it should not be free, that's how awesome it is, i'm working on a project that has some smoke scenes, i tried playing around with particle plugins, but you've just given me a solution and a few ideas i need to try, you are one of the few unicorns here on youtube, please don't disappear like many before you
Dude. This is absolutely crazy and totally blew my mind. Thank you so much for sharing this gem of an effect, I can't wait to start using this in my projects! Instant subscribe.
Dude, I must say, using the Minimax for what u did was brilliant. Truly, thank you! The Minimax (in that scenario) is used basically like a Simple Choker, except that you can literally expand the alpha as much as you want
This ... this is just simply amazing dude... Its just amazing to see someone just spending the time to completely understand and explore a program to a level you do! We love to see it... this is so slept on
Just.... WOW. Whole delivery of your content is simply astounding! Your ability to hold viewers focus while still sticking to the core of the topic, without shifting to jokes, or so called "creative editing" makes my soul happy and in my opinion it is in fact a very rare talent. It would be tempting, I presume, to try to "charm" the viewer with bells and whistles in narrative, or just approach the topic more lazy in terms of timimg the action presented on screen, but you tend to avoid all those traps and in the result your content magically becomes 100% informative and 100% engaging. I end watching it with "did i just actually ENJOYED A TUTORIAL...?" kind of conclusion. ;) Kudos! And thank you!
If you did this turorial in new version AE, did this: • Edit > Preference > Memory & Perfomance > Turn off "Enable Multi-Frame Rendering" • Composition > Preview > Turn off "Cache Frames When Idle"
Amazing tutorial! This is already opening up a ton of creative possibilities for me. I've already implemented this into my reaction diffusion effect workflow and it is so much more efficient.
I’m fairly new to AE and your tutorials blow my mind but something I’m so very grateful for! The detail and explanations in this particular video is second to none! Amazing job! And Thankyou ever so much! 👍🏻🏴
My 2012 Mac mini with 16GB ram running Catalina and AE22 isn't handling this well but I could at least get to the part where I purge 300GB from my disk cache... That should help something...will be returning to this when I buy a new computer later this year. I'm glad you're doing more AE tutorials. Thank you!
Ha ya, fair enough! Time Blend itself is fairly quick to render, but once you start stacking up effects it can start to bog. Surprisingly, the minimax effect is a bit heavy
