After Effects Tutorial - Underwater scene with light rays and bubbles (Deep Thought Pt1)

In the first part of this two-part tute, I'll be showing you how to create a subtle underwater scene, complete with light rays, rising bubbles and a cloudy texture. No plug-ins required, so this can be done out of the box with CS3, CS4 or CS5.
Part 2 will cover using using lens blur with a depth matte, and is coming soon.

@imagemill Animation presets need to be enabled in CS5/5.5. This video will show you how - /watch?v=fTrW3t-SHIY

@WwBaNaNaZwW Read the response earlier - or watch the Quick Tip video in my channel on how to enable them.

@ExquiziteSTORM I'll make sure to put some explosions into my next one.

@shortformvideos @shortformvideos If you click on the panel drop down, you will see an option for "show animation preset" cs5 is set as default to not show. I had the same problem.

So glad you don't use plugins- that always gets me every time I look up an interesting effect tutorial.
