Simple Sin City Effect in Adobe After Effects | Tutorial

[skywardfilm]

Thanks bro... Your sound is a little hard to hear, but you get right to the point--something that most of these self-promoting gurus never do!

[MrAdamWayneGistarb]

Thanks I've been wanting to learn this for a while. Thumbs up!

[missuleea]

nice really useful. thanks! xD

[Budogous]

Nice video i subed to your chanel and thanks for the tutorial it really worked

[rasjez]

if I can use those colors what I said, can you tell me how? :)

[rasjez]

can you use more colors, or just red? I mean more like 3 colors in the same time? for example: orange, green, purple and red ?

[PsyxakiasGR]

Awesome tutorials, very helpful, I want to ask, what program did you use to record your dekstop?

[TheJasonWay]

when I click the pen, the effect deletes. What's up with that?

[hotgypsylips]

Hi! I get only blank,black screen on camtasia studio preview window, using windows 7 and Nvidia Card, you know how to fix it?

[Cooprix]

Thanks for the tut man, very proffesional and easy to follow :)

[brandonformosa]

big tutz

[ETHOB121]

Nice Tut

[Andratos95]

Great tutorial! people like you should rule this world xD

[Buckcityremix]

that was a awesome tutorial man your screen capture and zoom are better than any you tube tutorial i have seen, only thing i would harness your opinions about what is easier to do what in what, the reason i say that is thats strickly an opinion, what may work easier for you here rather than sony vegas,might not be the same for someone who has worked in vegas for 10 years. even though i agree with you completly, theres people who wont, good shit though, appreciate it bro!

[Buckcityremix]

bro is that the old doom music?

[ICarnag3I]

Great tutorial

[hamadaxxx]

why don't you track barn's motion then create a null object , apply the tracking data to the null and then parent it with the masked layer instead of manually doing it ... just an idea

[Buckcityremix]

@hamadaxxx exactly!!!!!!!..

[iTzziTV]

subbed thanks man :D

[MrPacmanstudio11]

how do you get it to come up in such good quality in your preview window?

[xxddxx95]

sweet well this has helped thank you very much bic boi

[Mactutorialsable]

Very good vid thanks!

[petenicezz]

how do i speed up my video preview in after effects. I have bought a new pc a asus with a Inte Core Quad cpu and 8Gb and a new video card Geforce Gt 220 1GB DDR3 wtih 64 bit os.. Everytime I'm doing the tutorial and trying to get the project done and at the end or middles it starts slowing down. I set my project at 720 HD. I have spent money buying and getting free after effects preset and I can't even view them in Preview cause is so slow, frustrating. please help me n suggestion, thank you. 

[shootbootleg]

@petenicezz sell your GPU and buy a Nvidia Quadro. It's a workstation card and hopefully it'll speed upyou so the RAM and CPU dont slave as much. A mid range is a Quadro 2000. I'm getting that one as soon as possible. Also if you prefer ATI they also produce workstation cards though their software is pretty much fucked up since AMD got 'em.

[petenicezz]

@shootbootleg Thanks very much for getting back, I will give that a try and buy the Quadro 2000. I seen a few on amazon between 400 and 700. So hopefully this will help cause I tired of spending money and not getting results.

[petenicezz]

@shootbootleg hello, i finally got my Nvidia Quadro video card, now do i uninstall the drivers from the previous video card before installing the new one, thanks

[shootbootleg]

@petenicezz @petenicezz lucky bastard! of course you need to delete your former drivers. go to the nvidia site and download and install the latest drivers they got. how much did you pay?

i can't use ebay cuz they dont send packages to Croatia cuz we're not in the EU. i'm gonna buy a new one for about 500 euros.

[goodatlinerider]

Just a quick question, when I drag my mask it just distorts it and changes the shape of it, I can't actually move the mask itself.

[mikex16]

Thanks..

[MrInvisiblez]

[thodorisgiannakopoul]

[sirbradalott]

Whats the difference between after effects and premiere?

[aleon1220]

[valkiron11]

Would be nicer if you used "Curves".

[rabia31]

Thanx for vid. How can we export it as avi?

[o0DeathStrike0o]

Why do you call it SinCity effect

[SweetTorment]

@o0DeathStrike0o Watch the movie SinCity, you will see from the very first scene that the entire movie is done in this "effect"

[MrJackBarrell]

check my vids please ;)

its like this one but moar aweshumer.

[lostmodz26]

It's a mask, not a matte.

[MrDavidFILM]

[avnish00]

i would probably duplicate the layer..tint the top layer... mask the area i want to be colorized subtract that area... and i have the efffecT!!

[Clesiotatu]

[erikcoonce]

This was so good man, extremely helpful ;)

[kaliany81]

Hi, you have helped me a lot.

I have a question though, can you change the color on a single object and then leave just that thing colored, for example, i know the grass is green in this picture, but can you make it red and leave everything else black and white?how?

I need that for a class project.

Thanks.

[veoquenoesunproblema]

There is codecs for AE CS5 for 64Bits to export as HD and so one? because my adobe AE CS5 can export on that files, only SWF, XLF and PR Project, where can I get that or I don't know! PLIZZZ help me

[FloBotsInc]

[dopi512]

[ndonnelly883]

the map technique helped alot

[datdudesketch]

Brilliant man! The best tutorial that I've seen for this effect thus far. Very well put together and much easier to understand than those tuts with funny accents and choppy video footage. Zooming in on your menus helped a lot as well, thanks!

[worldhighlights]

VideoCopilot Optical Flares is now for a download at Aries-Films File Section, Just google for Aries-Films and get your copy of Optical Flares Including CRACK

[StreamWaveChaos]

NOW THIS IS AWESOME MAN!!! Dude totally greaat!!! Keep up the nice work man!,... /m\

[daveguida]

secxy tutorial, ur right this is much easier on cs4 than sony

[TheFXGuy]

I'm not trying to go all nerdy, but Wikipedia defines spaming as "...the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages". That's basically what you're doing by saying "Just google Aries-Films[.]Net...". Ever notice that all of the comments like that get spammed? If it says "I made a ringtone from (time) - (time) at _____[.]___" and it's spammed, why wouldn't yours get spammed?

[TheFXGuy]

@c5firestarter

almost every video I watch, you are spamming for your website. Why do you spam everywhere?

[ScreamsOFwar2010]

watch my video on my page to see how u can make websites for free

[sueme5]

Awesome video!! Thanks! i Give this 5 stars and have sub. Keep up the good work. i hope you have a great day.

[Kroniak14]

wow,awesome tutorial,u explained so easy,keep it up ! :D

[0248959]

Nice Video. You are a natural at making tutorial videos. Keep up the good work. :)

[NickandCharlieShorts]

[Drivehell]

Great Tutorial man. Thank you very much, very informant, and just fun to watch.

[thePariah6]

thank you, that helped alot

[yullsjenkins]

is there any way that you could change the color of the barn to purple or whatever?

[zodac121]

were can i donwload grayscales??

[vadersville]

is it possible to have two colours left and the rest black and white?

[advanceproductionsHD]

how about use this intro for after effects and your other intro for sony vegas!!!!!:) if you agree

[92mjfan]

thanks man that was helpful :)

[rhush14]

gosh you sound like f(x) amber!!! ♥♥♥

[AllStarGamingHD]

if you want adobe for free msg me

[Elinalstad]

Yey ! ^^

Subbed btw ;P

[schoentje1997]

DOOM music? nice.....

[NeverwaY]

that was much easier than the method that i have been using. However, if you use SA Color Finesse as your effect plugin, it gets a much better result. i would also reccomend adjusting the curves a bit. I know this was just a basic tutorial, but im just saying for other people ya know. anyhow, good tutorial man.

[NAKEDSNAKE92129]

thanx man helped me alot

[doyoulikeme12]

Hope it works

[skateboardcraze]

[personwhoneedsaps3]

what program do you use to capture the screen?

[mainmenu895]

camstudio works nice

[iTechFX]

Camtasia Studio 6.

Its the almost the only one that yu can record in HD. Its kinda difficult to setup hd though.

[VXDRG]

i did that on a moving red shirt it the background didnt work and i masked it but shows all the colors within the mask

Help?

[0u73rh34v3n]

great tutorial.

additionally, for the mask, you could use 2d tracking.

pretty simple to do as well.

[thiefzakum]

Wow techtopia.. can you make more After effects tutorials, some text effects ect.. for awesome intros or sumthing

Thanks ;0

[xWatChYouRHeaDx]

you can also use motion tracking methods to animate the masking very easily.. better then rotoskoping :D

[DaneEricMarti]

Good job.

[ObliviousInferno]

[Nixzt]

where do you download scary musics?

[xxIQsourcerxx]

srry but i liked old intro

[yomazzzzzzz]

make a tutorial on how to get after affects free

[FRzCriSiS]

agreed

[techtopia]

I can't, it gets blocked by YouTube

[FullyLoaded66]

yeah its so stupid how they do that....and my free dreamweaver vid got removed...i might repost it on my website tho...on my free mp3 video they make me remove the copyrighted music thats playing but don't remove the video itself...

[xxIQsourcerxx]

my free adobe fireworks vids was deleted

[wwwtjecouk]

Out of curiosity why does it block how to get adobe after affects for free and yet it leaves your other video: how to get sony vegas 8 for free?

[techtopia]

Any video that is showing how to get Adobe products for free are illegal. The same goes for Sony, however, Adobe probably hired a team to remove flash videos that break these rules and stuff, while Sony, hasn't. If I wanted to I could make how to get Sony Vegas, Cinescore and Acid for free, and stay off the hook while making how to get Photoshop, After Effects and Flash for free will get removed.

[wwwtjecouk]

dam, that sucks i was wondering why i couldnt find any.

[leafblowinSK8]

@techtopia This was a great Tutorial, im subbing for sure, plz post more videos :)

could u do some tutorials where yous show how to add easy / basic /simple effects, like adding black and white and grain to only a small portion of the footage and h

Also show how to add snap layer tool, cause i need that to sync my audio and jeyframes and shit more easy, also i cant use the page up and page down to scrll through keyframes, what can i do?

Really loved this tutorial, thanks man :)
