Thanks Jake for the detailed information! I'm so excited about lightning effects, I've tried this effect before, but now it's great to understand the control of each property. LIKE

[@RemedieX]

Just stumbled on this channel. These detailed videos explaining what everything does are amazing. Thank you - a beginner :)

[@themuckyman]

Forking love this effect...so usefull for forking ground cracks and wall cracks.

[@xsunajpw1799]

THIS IS AMAZING THANKS SO MUCH!!! I'm making a Bolt movie title sequence for my school and this is PERFECT!!!!!

Awesome Thanks.

[@LoganPinney]

"roads...where we are going we don't need roads." LOL this is perfect to making some back to the future fan art :p Thanks for all your hard work with the effect tutorials Jake!! Huge respect!!

[@AndreBritesMotion]

Oh my, this is great! Never mind the effect, with a bit of tweaking anyone would understand what it does. But the 'Copy with Property Links'?! There's been countless times of me parenting properties from one effect to another. I've searched for a way to do this before and never found one (maybe I wasn't googling it right). Anyway, time (and sanity) saver tip right there. Thanks so much!

[@the_greck]

Same here!! Ten years of doing that and had no idea there was an automated way built in.

[@wrench_in]

Thanks

[@banzai316]

Raiden would be so proud. Just need a new Fatality to put this in good use!🔥

[@leonelsantos6517]

Naice man

[@evolabs849]

Wow

[@ultravioletidea]

When I precompose my lightning layers, the precomp keeps the name of the layer I precomposed from [Mac, Ae 22.1.1]. So a typical effect expression in the precomp reads ‘comp(“Original Layer Name”).layer(“Lightning”).effect(“Advanced Lightning”)(3)’ instead of ‘comp(“PreCompName”).layer(“Lightning”).effect(“Advanced Lightning”)(3)’. Is there a higher-up Ae setting that controls how Ae renames those properties during the pre-comping process?

[@JGraham301]

What great ‘forking’ tutorial.

[@homebrewgraphics2384]

Advanced Lightning vs Saber plug-in?

[@JakeInMotion]

That's not even a comparison worth making really. Saber is so much more advanced.

[@lesliez367]

💕 P r o m o s m!!!

[@Ann_Xileel]

So, technically you could use this to make a cracking effect on something? 🤔

[@JakeInMotion]

Definitely.

[@BryanSchultzitis]

This sounds like a class at Hogwarts

[@brandonwei7897]

You will pay the price for your lack of vision

[@LarsAgerbk]

There's too many setting in After Effects. and there's too many options in life.

[@ailsaSteele]

非常棒的教程，感谢博主分享。

[@Dossell]

I auto traced and applied saber effect to the lightning mask ⚡️ Any way to get rid of the flickering? 🥲
