I quickly breeze over what Linear Compositing is, along with some benefits of doing it this way.

  • Cool tutorial man. I'm kinda new to this stuff so bear with me...what you're saying is that the brightness is due to the bit rate?...like I get how it works after it's imported into AE with the switching off of lights etc but perhaps a bit more explanation as to what it is you're going to talk about is needed....Already subbed to you.

  • @h4773r No, the brightness is due to the fact that the math behind the scenes is "wrong." Remember, it's not the "bit rate" it's the "bit depth." All the bit depth is, is the amount of information in the image file. If you've heard of an HDR, all it means is the information in the file from white to black. It's the same thing here. You have more info in your file.

  • Nice job man, I get it but now I have to translate how to do this over in Blender3D / AE. You can check out all the stuff I've been doing wrong over on my channel. lol

  • @terencehood THe beauty is that it's all the same no matter which compositor you're using. The math is the same. Add is add, multiply is multiply...etc.

  • @mstarktv maybe you can clear up this gap for me, I make 3D objects in Blender, typically I bake out an animation to a movie (2d) to overlay / add in. Is there a way I can export these objects and retain the 3D data, import it into AE and manipulate the object in 3D within AE. I think you done this in your tank tutorial how you turned the turret or did you animate that motion prior to baking it out as a movie?

  • @terencehood Nope. After Effects is not a 3d program. Everything has to be rendered and comped together.
