[dazsoad9]

i need the effect to create an e4 sting my idea was to have a heart effect move in the normal way then to flatline and the e4 logo come up, is this easy to do? is it simple to make? thanks

[LeBearExtrordinare]

can you add text to this effect?

[Kiliankoe]

@LeBearExtrordinare Of course, you just need to add enough points to draw your text. You're going to have to do it manually though, you can't just type it out. If you however add text you can use that as a guideline to place your points.

How do you get transparent background? In my AfterEffects, the black solid is standard when I create a new composition...

[Kiliankoe]

@ChrisseNisseUltimate It might be shown as black, but there shouldn't be a solid by default. There's this little button under the preview window showing a grid like thingamajig. Press it to toggle from back to transparent background.

If there really were a black solid in there by default you can just select it in the timeline and delete it.

[ronniereiff]

@ChrisseNisseUltimate ok it 2 button to the right of the button that has a red green and blue ball under the screen

nice, thanks

[HurstVideos]

could you make words have this effect?

[Kiliankoe]

Basically.... Yes, but it would require a bit of tedious work as you would have to create all the points of every letter and put them into position. It is possible and should look pretty cool, but it'll take a bit of thinking and a few minutes.

[ISilentIButIDeadlyI]

if i wanted the line to travel around the outside top half of some text, how would i do that

[Kiliankoe]

You would create a whole lot of vertices on that curve and try to form the letters with that.

Basically just like this video one of the commenters on this video made: watch?v=pwTeJRBWs6U

[Thrashville86]

indeed how?

[arashogfar]

thanks

[Kiliankoe]

Thanks to you for commenting :) Also for the comment on my blog, maybe it's due to my inactivity, but not many people have been commenting there in the last time.

What is Adobe After Effects? Where can I get it? Is it free?

[Kiliankoe]

After Effects is one of the most popular video editing tools and you can buy it from the company that makes it (Adobe) or somewhere else, like an online store or your local reseller.

It's not free, unless you're using the 30-day trial, which is free and not restricted in the functions.

There's also a much cheaper student version, which only has the limitation that you can not create commercial work with it. Other than that it's just like the full thing.

[slyrocks3]

Okay,Thanks.

[Guildoooh]

Echt gutes Tutorial.Ich habe den Effekt eines Herzmonitors auf andere Weise erzeugt.Maske gezogen und dann mit dem Effekt "Strich generieren" und danach noch nen "Leuchten" und "Echo" Effekt draufgehauen.Aber mit dem "Vegas" geht´s viel einfacher.Danke dafür!!!!

[Kiliankoe]

Yay Deutsch :P

Klingt auch interessant.. Ich probier das auch mal aus, mal sehen wie es sich schlägt.

Schön zu sehen, dass ich helfen konnte. Danke für den netten Kommentar!

[farfarawayfromyou]

thx :D

Btw, i was wondering, would it be cool to make it 3D then make the camera follow the line horisontal in a sec or so and then switch bak to the Heart rate monitor effect?..

[Kiliankoe]

I don't quite get what you mean, but why don't you just try it and then post it here. I'd love to have a look ;)

[LiberationGamingHQ]

Thank you for the tutorial and the comma knowledge... :-P

You're english isn't bad at all! I saw your videos, nice job!

[SimonKlovning]

btw, where can i download the effect? Its not on your site?

[Kiliankoe]

The effect should be included in After Effects.

[SimonKlovning]

omg, lol! I meant Sound effect -__- Stupid me :P

[Kiliankoe]

Oh ok ;)

The link for the download is not on the download page, it's in the blog post to this tutorial. Right now that should be the third post from the top.

Be sure to right click->Save-as so that you can download it.

[SimonKlovning]

Ok thanks! Check out my vid ; ) Its called "Skien kirke in after fx"  :)

[Kiliankoe]

Nice! How many points did you need? ;)

[SimonKlovning]

hehe, many :P

[Kiliankoe]

I once made a test for an intro. It had this effect and the letters IF on the line. That itself took me a moment to figure out ;)

respects for that church!

[SimonKlovning]

If you first understand it, it's quite easy : ) So again, thank you : D

[Kiliankoe]

[Kiliankoe]

Thanks a lot for the nice comment!

I'll see about that other tutorial.

[tilai12]

sorry to say but after effects suck !!!

[Kiliankoe]

I have nothing against your opinion, but I don't see any point in your action to post this here.

But seeing as you already did, would you mind telling me why you think this way?

[SHTAMPER]

Hey Kilian that was a very good tutorial and I'm sure I'm gonna use it, I already got few ideas.

I have a question, how can I create a vibration on a footage? Can I make a picture vibrate? there is a video of muse "Hyper Music"

there you can see the clip vibrate, in this case I'm sure that they are projecting the camera on a mirror which reflect the band playing and someone just move the mirror. I'm looking for a way to make it by myself using Adobe After Effect Cs3.

Thanks so Much

Shtamper

[Kiliankoe]

In the world of digital effects there's no need for methods like that ;)

The easiest way to make it all vibrate is to set a wiggle expression with extreme values.

Do you want me to explain how you would go about doing that?

[SHTAMPER]

Yes please that will be great!!

Thanks so much

[Kiliankoe]

It was a little too much for a comment, so I wrote something on my blog. Go check it out.

Unfortunately I can't post Links in comments, but the link should be in the video description.

[Decontrolled24]

Yay Kilian. I'm surprised you made this so quickly. That was really neat.
