Echo & Onion Skinning + Auto Smears | Effects of After Effects 

I know it's not feasible to have this in depth of a video for every effect, but this was super informative and easy to follow!

Your AE effects series is truly treasure, very in-dept and easy to understand. Luv it!

That expression hack at ~5:50 to display the speed is one of the coolest things I've seen in AE. Great tutorial!

Woah, I loved this one. I already feel that I'll be using this effect and this tips all the time. Thanks, Jake!

im always typing "anime teleportation effect" when i actually wants to happen is this exact effect. Atlast, the search is over.

This is a really great tip and explained very well about the uses of these. It was the best tutorial I have watched on echo effect. 👍

I am falling in love back again with after effect. All thanks to Jake! God bless you sir!

Jake thanks soooooo much for the work you are doing. I'm watching all of your videos. I've learn a lot. Your explanations are very good. Thanks again!!!

I couldn't get this to work for the life of me; mostly because I'm completely new to After Effects, but I figured out what you missed to point out to make this work. If you look at time code 0:22 in the checked boxes you have the "For Comp Layer: Collapse Transformations; for vector layer: Continuously rasterize" box checked. The icon looks like a star burst. You have to have that box checked to make this effect work at all. I played around for nearly 2 hours trying to figure out what I was missing and then dissected your exact settings from visual keys and noticed this. AGAIN, I'm a complete novice so missing this one key aspect really threw me for a loop. Thanks for showing me the amazingness of this tool :) Will be stopping by often!

Whenever I write expressions like this in AE (although this one, and “.speed” were both completely new to me, so cheers for that) I’ve always declared a variable at the beginning, then changed the value inside the if/then statement and called the variable at the end. Aside from learning a bunch of stuff about the Echo effect, it made me realize I was making things hard on myself and writing 2 extra lines every time.

Dude ! I finally understand how to control the echo effect. Been struggling with this for years. Thanks so much!

So smart. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this.

This is an excellent explanation for Echo effect, thanks for sharing!... Greetings.

Great tutorial! Thanks a lot:)

We’ve needed a series like this for so long you’re a Saint

these extra bits of information like use of expressions along with particular effects make tuts worthwhile. PS could you please make a tut on effect named image sample or sample image, there's also an expression by that name.

Nice one🖤

That was very nicely explained, i mean i watched a video with expressions! and i stood around and understood it, thank you :D

Great, thank you.

Awesome one

Best after effects channel on the youtube!

Great job , 👍👍👍👍

Thanks!

THANK YOU.

killer tutorial

Thanks for your tutorial. I think it would be nice to add a linear or ease expression to make this responsive to other speed values as well.

good tut.

Came here for a brush up on Echo and left with some new Expression knowledge... this tut = value*1000

_You are the best, bar none._

I LOVE YOU

awesome

I thought I knew how to use Echo effect- before seeing this. Thanks as always.

Very useful! Thanks

Genius...

I just wish I knew this earlier. Could've save me some time rendering.

Woah..i never knew that double clicking a property in the effects panel would open it by itself in the timeline...thanks for that Jake. Wow lol. [slaps himself silly]

NIce 😎

Nice to see these effects in action. I made an echo smear preset based on a shutter angle control and tween samples instead of the somewhat unintuitive controls of Echo for this purpose. Lmk if someone wants to see that

Witchcraft ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Thank you

💕💕💕

I have created 4 or more points mask then Subtract the layer. Now I want to echo only right ride or line of mask, all other remain nothing. I hope u get it. Sorry for weak english

my echooo

Hey Jake, no wonder you look and sound familiar. What a crazy small world. You're Aaron's brother. I love how you're both AE experts now. Aaron and I worked together in the before times and you visited Participant one day.

How come the echo effect for me just add all the new copies underneath it?

Could you let us know where you got the sfx for your intro? Epidemic?

Oh man .... those expressions.... It is a great tutorial but discouraged me from learning Nuke. I mean if After Effects is supposed to be easier to learn than Nuke, then imagine what the Nuke scripts would look like 😂😂😂

Does anyone know how to make the trace of the "echo" effect not disappear during the entire composition and remain static after the appearance? (I need to recreate an effect similar to the one in the Solitaire card game in windows, probably as many of you know it, there falling cards leave a trace after winning the game). I tried to increase the number of echoes, but this leads to the fact that they are always striving for the "emitter" and dissapear then. In addition, a large number of echoes reduces the performance of the program, without visually increasing echoes after a certain threshold. P.S. I came up with the idea of precomposing and using time remapping on compositions where there is an echo. The method is not quite suitable, because the echoes do not appear from the current position of the layer, but from its starting position, so the ladder of echoes is constantly moving, and they must appear once from under the emitter and remain in place. But the precompose at least helped solve the problem of their disappearance after some time.

why does echo make the video apppear brighter

hm, I need you to make a video about Fog3D, in effects and presets under 3D channel category.

Awosem

I apreciate your work and you really are helping a lot. But I have to get it out: After Effects is the worst. I started learning 3d and are realizing how counter intuitiv and inefficient ae is. I dont get it!

6:40 u forgot the card mate

Plz sir tell my name in your next video I love you sir and I am from India

Thanks!
