Where to get CC light burst and the " wiggle " preset

[Necroraisers]

[07leepar]

carnt move camera

[TheLinuxBust]

I meant the "motion tracking" which he does with the "Camera 1". I solved this. Turns out I didn't click the clock icon so I didn't add any keyframes, lol! Don't wonder, this was the first time I was using AE.

[TheLinuxBust]

WHY can't I get the camera to "capture" the movement?!

[ComPodView]

@TheLinuxBust What exactly do you mean? Do you mean the camera orbit tool? You have to go to the tool in the toolbar and hold down the left mouse button. It will reveal a selection of different camera orientation tools.

[ComPodView]

@abecerra71 That's the whole expression:

src=thisComp.layer("YOUR NULL NAME HERE");

src.toComp(src.anchorPoint)

The project download file is the final project which also already includes the expression.

[abecerra71]

SRC What???? please respond. not sure what you typed at 7:32

[TheIcemanModdeler]

I found a problem in After Effects, so i import a targa sequence of 750 frames with 25 FPS. The normal duration if i use any other program is 30 seconds. In After Effects it's 25 seconds.Does anyone know where i can fix this problem??? i also imported the sound for the clip and the sound has the correct lengh.

[huffE3zur]

Imagine i make one and want to make another exactly the same but different text, can i just change what i typed in or do redo everything

[iluvej32]

im trying to use the orbit camera tool but its not moving around when I drag it around. Is there something that should be selected in order to actually see the movement?

[ComPodView]

@iluvej32 You have to go to the tool in the toolbar and hold down the left mouse button. It will reveal a selection of different camera orientation tools.

[Heawydick]

I have a green X on the screen, why ??:D

[ComPodView]

@Heawydick You need to activate your version of the CycoreFX plugins.

[ComPodView]

[ComPodView]

[OCmadfan]

Hi mate i just created it and exported (doing it the usual way through composition and adding to render queue). It took about 1hr 45 mins to render and export and then when i tryed to open it in a video for windows it wouldnt appear, i then tried to open it quicktime which it did, the only problem was that it kept jumping when the text was trying to appear, the size of the finished file was 1.19GB. Is there any help you can give me on making it run smoothly?

Cheers

[ComPodView]

I would recommend exporting it as Quicktime PhotoJPG @ 95%. It gives almost lossless results and is comparatively small.

[tahitianflower]

you are awesome

[crazy4burman]

really detailed...thankyou so much! u'r a lifesaver :)

[darknessRO02]

camera thing , dont work on CS4 -.-

[ComPodView]

What exactly do you mean by camera thing?

[darknessRO02]

the camera wont move

and it says that it dont afect 2D layers :/

[ComPodView]

Have you turned to layers into 3D via the little 3D box switch?

[darknessRO02]

did u said that ? o.O

[ComPodView]

1:00 ;-)

[darknessRO02]

Worked :)

thx

[fuadorko]

yesh

[GenaralMike]

You've misunderstood me entirely.

After SRC you typed a character (is it = or...)

Because SRC alone doesn't work,

You usually get an error: After Effects waring: Class 'global' has no property or method named 'src_thisComp' Expression disabled.

[ComPodView]

At 8:14 you can see the whole expression.

[GenaralMike]

Great tutorial but...

7:32 - 7:33 - you say SRC (and then what........)

What's that word (what's the symbol to enter after SRC. Can be seen on the video, and it's inaudible.

And without it nothing works...

Thanks

[HackedVision]

I don't even have to watch the video.

Src simply means Source.

[EdwinC1000]

A really big thanks to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[mariosxoox]

i will sub to you cz you upload the file

[conordal]

thankyou

[lapidoutnumber]

dzieki

[ComPodView]

I can't understand your problem. Could you please post a screenshot.

[Spreemix]

part 1 & 2 deserves my sub :)

[samyeung23]

thank you so much! love your tutorial

[fatkoslo]

Can y download this program?? What is link ?? Can me help*

[ComPodView]

You can get a 30-days trial version from adobe . com

[fatkoslo]

in adobe i dont get it for download.sory..can you post the link? please??

[ComPodView]

You have to register for downloading. I think after that you need to allow the pop-ups because they use their own download manager.

[fatkoslo]

yes i did regisster..sigg in, and clic the DOWNLOAD but is long 6,7 ours, and i stay it too download but doesnt open this program,,

[ComPodView]

Sorry, I don't know any other resource for the download :-(.

[sidops]

thank you very much..when i export my project it comes out with a very bad quality..can you tell me what can i do?

[ComPodView]

Add the project to the render queue (Ctrl+M) and choose Quicktime PhotoJPG @ 95 %, then click on Render. You should get good results.

[freedon420]

When he gets to the src part i type in src= or src = and nothing happens except i get a error like i typed it in wrong i dont understand i really am close to done with this project. I never used affter effects before this is my first time. 7:30

[ComPodView]

Hm, are you sure you typed in everything? You need to type in the whole expression before you click away.

[freedon420]

Can you type out the expression for me so i can copy paste and i can have a cool intro to my short movie.

[ComPodView]

src=thisComp.layer("YOUR NULL NAME HERE");

src.toComp(src.anchorPoint)

[StrictGamingVideos]

Thank you. This is a very good tutorial. Your English is pretty good too. Nice job tutorial! 5/5!

[freedon420]

You say type in src then WHAT THE FUCK is that a dash - or = wtf man get all the way to the end and you stump me like this 2 people have asked you this question THAT THE FUCK YOU TYPE IN THERE man.

Tell us.

[VviktorV]

i wondered what it was...but if u go ahead on the video u´ll see it´s a =.....

[freedon420]

I have cs4 keep getting a error message wierd i will just skip this step i think

[scottblanks]

freedon420, what does "THAT THE FUCK YOU TYPE IN THERE man." mean?

[VviktorV]

do u mind if i take the video and translate it into spanish..of course i would mention that the video is yours...

[ComPodView]

That would be great. I'm sure there are a lot of guys waiting for that kind of version. :-)

[extremeglitchteam]

best tutorial ive seen

[cacotota]

hello why when i press the center button in the light burst i dont get the option of putting the expression...do you know whats the problem?

Excelent tutorial!

[ComPodView]

I'm sorry for this late response but I was in vacation and had no chance to answer.

You have to Alt+click on the time watch.

[Maxpaintballer]

try to press alt at the same time you click, it will open the expression box

[Rayner233]

Hi,

Can you tell How you can rotate the camera in real time while the CC light effect is enable? I have to wait 2seconds for refresh wheb im trying to rotate camera and see the lighti effects.

[ComPodView]

I'm sorry for this late response but I was in vacation and had no chance to answer.

Yes, that's the problem with a plugin like this. It takes alot of computing power. You can view it in half resolution. You go the resolution drop-down menue. Normally it says "Full". Simply switch it to "Half" or "Third" or whatever you want.

[ben1168]

[RomaNXTV]

pls check this image... witch i send you one messege!

[sxckit]

hey man awesome vid, thanks a heap. you're really talented. and your english is very good :D. thanks for the pointers!

[ComPodView]

In der englischen Version wird es aber, meines Erachtens, dennoch als Null-Layer bezeichnet. Keine Ahnung wieso.

[regarreptiles]

i am bored

[abdullahzs]

Question: How can I put more layers of text with their own words? That way I can have the camera fly past each phrase one by one. Would I have to program a brand new layer all over again to have another, different word? Thank you!

[ComPodView]

Ok, thats fairly simple. Just create another text in the same way (You can also duplicate (Ctrl+D) the layer in the project window and then drag it into the composition. Alt+double-click on the layer to edit the text). Then turn in into 3D, push it back a bit. You also need another Null Layer that should also be pushed a bit more back. Also you wanna push the background back and scale it up, so it has the same size as before.

[ComPodView]

(-> contuniation) Perhaps you can move the second text layer a bit later on the timeline so the animation appears later. And then animate the camera.

I hope that helped. If not, please ask.

[abdullahzs]

Thank you so much! Keep teaching :)

[kafaya88]

very cool and helpful tutorial ,thanks ... but when i use CC lightburst a green cross appear on the image... i can t delete that... and if i save it to mp4 or avi or something still on the whole "image".... pls help :)

[ComPodView]

That happens because you only have the demo version of the plugin.

[kyubunaruto]

ima try =P

[corey110drums]

nevermind i figured out waht to do

[corey110drums]

what do you type in for the expression

all i can make out is src :)

thanks man this is a awsome tutorial

[alex911019]

i can't rotate the text...i can select Orbit camera tool but i move the mouse and not happen nothing!...

[ComPodView]

You need to hold down the left mouse button.

[eliarab]

hey on 7:27...when i double click the clock nothing happens??

[ComPodView]

Alt-click on the stop-watch.

[thebigfly124]

Thanks it really helped me out!!!

[OwnerGc]

I can't get that 3d camera to work it doesn't show that he does then he rotate it back to "Active camera" please help.

[ComPodView]

Are you sure you created the 3D camera? If no, hit Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C. If it is created you need to choose another 3D orbit tool. Go to the tool bar, hold down the left mouse button and choose the first item.

[Grymlog123]

Dude .. you're amazing! thank you so much man.. Respect

[barslo]

i have not also cc light burst where i can download and how join it whit the program??

[ComPodView]

[RapidEnt]

why is it mine won't rotate once i put the camera thing on , and i have the right tool

[ComPodView]

Hold down the left mouse botton on this tool. Then choose the orbit tool.

[CITXX]

2:25 when you scale the background, when I hit "C" it shuts down my After Effects without saving. Any thoughts?

[ComPodView]

For scaling you need to hit "s".

[jappiesnoer]
