can this be done in primer cs5 or do u need after effects? thanks

[BestProAction]

@xsjad0man I guess not since it doesn't have a radial blur effect anymore.

hey great tutorial...

i'm using this effect on a text layer.... and i want the light beams to be in a different color..so i change the text collor but i only see the new color when i switch to 4 views and it's visiabl only on the "Front" view...but the color doesn't change on the main view....even when i render it...

A bit problem for me. It keeps loading the yellow bar and it doesn't work.

@N185L135 try setting it to quarter or half instead of full :D..it'll probably work

[Hot5six4231]

excellent, exact effect I was looking for.

[tomcat91709]

Another BRILLIANT Effect! Am I correct in guessing that it does not matter what you use for the object image, as long as you use it twice? With the understanding that the beams will be focused based upon the source image, of course.

[BestProAction]

@tomcat91709 Correct, you got it :)

[AWTAssassin]

Ok i have cc blur or whatever u used but it has a Green X. How do i get rid of that?

[BestProAction]

@AWTAssassin It means that After Effects can't find this plugin, so reinstall your After Effects.

[TheMovieMasterrr]

No problem xD But when I click on the eye to make the first logo visible, the other one disappears (sorry for the bad english XD)

[BestProAction]

@TheMovieMasterrr I think I understand why this didn't work for you. I believe you used a solid image like JPEG or bmp or something. That is why your top layer covers your bottom layer completely. As you can see in my tutoral I used a PSD file, which means I prepared this image in Photoshop with a transparent background. So in my project, the top layer only covers the logo area, the rest of the image is transparent, allowing you to see the effect. I'm sorry this was not clear enough for you.

[BestProAction]

@TheMovieMasterrr Let me know if this doesn't take care of your problem.

[TheMovieMasterrr]

@BestProAction Ok thanks i will tryy it again tommorrow i think

[TheMovieMasterrr]

It doesn't work. Also, nice vid =D

[BestProAction]
