This is my first tutorial, and I teach how to create the patronus effect that many of you have seen in my video, "Expecto Patronum", using only free or built-in Adobe After Effects plug-ins! I'm new at the whole tutorial thing, so the next one will be much better (ex: no random mouse spazzing!).

There are ways to create a more realistic patronus, but you'd have to stray from After Effects' free or built-in plug-ins. My patronus at the end included smoke stock footage from Andrew Kramer's Action Essentials. I hope this video can put you in the right direction when it comes to making this particular effect. Tutorials aren't easy to make! Kudos to those who make them on a regular basis.

  • Why is cc light rays in generate in my after effects instead of render?

  • @enzyme30 Do you have a different version of After Effects? I'm using 7.0.

  • where do you have affter effects from? did you really buy it?

  • @DorianMusik I bought it used on amazon.com. You can find it much cheaper there, depending on which version you buy.
