Advanced Electric FX Tutorial! 100% After Effects!

[@bitofalice]

Too good man, rarely have an excuse to use AE effects for work but I just love watching these as entertainment, blows my mind that this has remained free during all the years. Much respect!

[@hiddio]

This weird feeling when u have 30+ and you know basically most there is to know about photoshop, and your learning curve is not that awesome as it was once upon the time, and you see the level of deepness of this tutorial, and you're realizing that getting to this level of advanced is practically locked for you. I'm hitting subscribe button, and the bell with tears. You are Aron Nace of after effects.

[@boogfromopenseason]

Andrew is an amazing example he is so passionate. You can tell he enjoys his job.

[@TrainsandRockets]

The quality of explanation and the details... everything's so great... I just love you 3000...! 😄

[@avnishparker]

How could anyone dislike this? :/ Really Helpfull though. :)

[@m.ahsan01]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@paranoidyt9518]

@Gary Ya its pretty worth it, depending how u use it, I edited something yesterday with it and just posted it in my discord with around 35 people in, and now im editing more stuff for someone who wants me to make them something

[@rudigonzalez1451]

Easy, envy is a cancer among humanz

[@timothyockhuizen7339]

This is by far one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Thanks a million.

[@Sekshun8productions]

Thank you for always explaining more than just "click here make it this value", there are always a couple extra seconds to say what you are actually affecting, making it easier to apply the effect to anything. Yours is one of only a handful of channels that have actually helped me learn some new techniques and further what i know, plus you're funny, making any lesson alot less boring and alot easier to remember. a sub for you sir!

[@ayoubgharafi1656]

And now you gonna see thousands of video templates with this freaking awesome lighting effects invading the markets ... thanks Andrew for everything

[@tim.e.l]

Great stuff as always. I barely use After Effects anymore, but I still love watching your tutorials. The times when I do put together a video I always find some way to put a nice touch on it with a combination of the concepts and techniques you teach. You always get a chuckle out of me at some point. Thanks, Tim

[@pixeledgedesigns9116]

I am in the middle of a client project. So I just came to hit like on the video. And then watch later. Thank you Kramer! I owe my career to you!

[@SanguiphiliaTV]

Amazing tutorial. One of the best I've seen. Great talker, perfect speed, easy to understand and follow with great results. 10/10.

[@anishnaik4663]

When I click on core radius stop watch the clock is turning blue and I'm unable to put viddle expression ( Please help)

[@riconocos9130]

One thing is for sure when you are going to watch Video Copilot Tutorials, There is always new knowledge, learning and techniques you can get from it. Thanks Andrew Cramer! for giving us always awesome tutorials

[@LaszloHarsanyi_SoundTube]

These are the times when I realize that I have After Effects and I know ca. 1% of it... Awesome tutorial 👍👍👍

[@rickestrickofallricks4108]

Yeah me too :D I use AE for 4 years now and I would never have the Idea to do the Lightnings in this f*cking awesome way xD

[@LaszloHarsanyi_SoundTube]

Yup, exactly my thoughts 😀

[@subhankarpatra9286]

GOAT of After Effects

[@dankdreamz]

Sold me on Elements 3D with that tangent. Entertaining and intuitive as always!

[@JoshJackson]

Once again, Andrew Kramer blows me away with another genius use of simple After Effects tools. Like Steve Jobs said, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

[@guyincognito566]

Brace yourself to see this in everyone's video introduction on their own channels now.

[@Advection357]

Well that's what happens when using pre-made fx Everyone and their grandma gets the same deal :P

[@Censtudios]

As is with EVERY videocopilot tutorial xD

[@Chribit]

so true. i sometimes just send a link of the podcast of andrew and andrew (vc and blenderguru) on not using directly tutorial-learnt clips in showreels etc... and being creative with what the andrews teach us instead of just copying it. ^^

[@kipster]

but only 1% will look good, until he releases the project

[@bol10010]

Well if you watch his tutorials just to copy/paste, it's pretty useless. I don't think the purpose of these tutorials is to learn how to exactly do " this ". Why do you care about seeing this in everyones's video ? Are you gonna do the same, and put this in your intro video ? Or are you someone like me who just wants to learn some technics ?

[@Tutomatorvfx]

learn a lot...thanks Andrew. I remember i m learning from you as i was a 14 year teenager . you are my favorite mentor ever

[@RajAngadSingh]

A lot of awesome stuff to learn from this video. Thank you so much Andrew Sir for this 😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

[@sthJuniorPK]

Been using that FX Console. Shaved off enough time on my work I now get to see my children. Thank you Andrew!

[@CS-xz5ch]

the Intro always gets me so hyped

[@nixambros.1075]

Andrew sir,you are brilliant for 11 years experience of after effect and I double triple salute for you and your actor. best tutorial thank you.

[@PKBHD]

I am a simple guy, I hear "Andrew Kramer", I hit like.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

We all do that though, don't we?

[@superacrylic8679]

there's no doubt..... every sound effects, songs, in your video makes the video even more awesome. geez lots to be learned....

[@DaK1ller]

The intro where it reveals the logo when the lightning hits it from both sides is so clean. I need to know how to make that!

[@stev8468]

Who the hell thumbs down this tutorial??? this was awesome like all of the others thanks for sharing your time on a FREE training Andrew

[@dravreh]

Woohuuu - Andrews is back! Thx for the great tutorials!!

Andrew, I SALUTE you, man! I got a bit tired after watching the tutorial, and you had to MAKE this! Hats off!

[@OizysPonos]

Adrew! You sir, are a national fucking treasure! On the behalf of every living creature in Milky Way: Thank you for these tutorials! Andromeda peeps will be jealous.

[@kapanimations]

I've been wanting to use force lightning in some future stop motion projects but I just couldn't find a tutorial/video that had effects that I liked. And this are what I've been looking for!

[@LifehouseRust]

This tutorial really sparked my interest.

[@chrisryan4475]

[@ro-animation]

A long time ago I was 22 years old and I started to watch your tutorials. Now I am 99 years old...

[@DanHildebrand91]

Great tutorial, especially the back lit cloud lightning. I followed along using Nuke ;)

[@mentalcog2187]

Well,... get some sleep Sensei Kramer!! Glad to see you back!!! This is awesome!!

[@Alanj2007Games]

I'm early, and I'm here for some shocking puns in an amazing tutorial made by the most handsome guy

[@ling6701]

What a deep study about lighning. This was enlightning. Thank you.

[@JoshuaCasper]

HE's Back!! AWESOME!! and... Where is Intercept????????????

[@VideoCopilot]

Here is the update I posted on recently. Everything is progressing! Every new tutorial posted in the next few weeks means I'm getting closer to that one thing... INTERCEPT! POSTED BELOW: When you see me post a new tutorial it's because I'm getting closer to finishing Intercept. It's currently over 12 minutes long... for now. I've been bouncing between editing, VFX, and Tutorials. Can be a bit tricky because "there is always something that will make it better." But I want to keep posting tutorials and not just work on this one thing. The film is meant to teach techniques and I can't wait to show you everything. But since It's already taking a ridiculously long time, the least I can do is try to make some cool tutorials!

[@techhfreakk]

Could you tell me what Intercept is?

[@bs140598]

yea what is Intercept?

[@erterrill]

Sashank Sharma If you dont know what Intercept is, oooooohhh boy.....lmao

[@bs140598]

now i know ;D

[@Wondarcouk]

Learning when and where the Solid Composite can come to the rescue is challenging. Thank you very much for the wisdom.

[@AgeTemplar]

The first thing I learned from this was that an "Advanced Lightning" plugin even existed.

[@Davecm008]

That cloud effect....damn. Andrew you're a wizard.

[@GuiBXL]

The best!

[@aesthet1k_]

I'm thrilled you guys are still creating content. I remember watching Video Copilot roughly 6 years ago. You guys just popped into my head a few days ago, so I decided to check in. Glad to subscribe. Keep up the great work!

[@peytonbloom4123]

Of all the tutorials I've done this one should be nice 'n easy, but for some reason on the cloud comp I CANNOT get the CC Composite to function properly. I tried several workarounds, but I can't get my original lightning back on top. This is very aggravating because I just want to get to the rest of the tutorial. I shouldn't be getting snagged when I am following every step down to the frame.

[@mforcevirus]

I came here with the same problem. Adding CC Composite just adds a white screen instead of the lightning. Shame this hasn't been answered :(

[@UTDMAN4EVA]

Just when you think it can't get any better....another tutorial comes out. Thanks Andrew !!!

[@PenguinjitsuX]

3:50 "a shocking number of results" LOL
