Advanced Text Dispersion Tutorial [BEGINNER FRIENDLY] || 100% After Effects

#TextDispersion #SandDispersion #AfterEffectsSand
In this video, we will create a Text Dispersion Effect using No plugins inside After Effects
I have checked a few tutorials on KZbin and almost all tutorials left with a pretty generic result.
So, I wanted to improve the look. So, this is my take on the Text Dispersion Effect.
Even if I called it an Advanced Effect, the process is very simple..
This is a Beginner friendly Tutorial.. So, you guys can easily follow along
Please excuse my ridiculous sense of Humor 😀

I'm honestly shocked by how good this turoial and results was, congratulations and thank you.

[@samueltriplett]

This is so smooth and so simple, I love how clean it is. Even just at 3:35 it's already way more efficient and effective than what I would have initially used to get this effect. Thank you!

[@gizelgumirov6054]

This tutorial is really so clear and good for understanding! Thank you :)

[@carloservadei]

Man you saved me! I was wondering how to get the right direction of the text and more realistic sand transition!

[@TreadTalks]

I enjoyed the bits of humor throughout the explanation.

Didn't decide yet. But Hey, Made this Obi Wan template in 4k like you asked 🙂

Bro please make a tutorial on how to make sand simulation on after effects and particular

[@rfxvisions]

Im having an issue, how can I export this to a transparent background? I cant. Im just a noob.

[@thedrax9178]

bro cant see the luma mode

how did you texturise your fonts?

[@jaanpotter7124]

Tutorial is very good.

[@zerofxharry]

Thank you Potter for always being supportive😃

[@joshuahnatyszyn]

Can you do it on a person and make them disappear

[@getfanmedia]

interesting

[@rotem..]

I'm trying to do this on an image of a sandcastle but the fractal noise makes it black and white. Does the fractal noise only relevant if I have a black/white object?

[@zerofxharry]

No, as long as you use fractal noise image as just a luma matte, you won't make the image black and white. However the sand colour depends on what colour you specify in particle settings

[@trueindian2880]

Amazing . Please tell me reverse effect not working how to do. On which tab we have to clinic 1st then apply reverse

[@zerofxharry]

You can precompose everything.. Select all the layers and hit "Control+Shift+C" .. Then select the final precomposition and then can simply reverse the time.. OR You can simply render the video and then can reverse it in any editor.. Both are basically the same🙂

[@trueindian2880]

@@zerofxharry thanks

[@Doctorstew]

What plug-in did that whispy effect on the original version of the logo?

[@zerofxharry]

Trapcode particular

[@elwenlai4704]

it is a good tutorial, but i m stuck cause of i m using the logo png. file instead of text, the effect is different, is it could not be using the png file ?

[@hansha9404]

You need to modify your logo on photoshop to fit the size, like 1920x1080 in this case

[@GonContreiras]

hi i was making the same you did, but the fractal doesnt work´, what could it be?

[@zerofxharry]

Make sure, you are using the Luma value, and not the alpha value.. And in the set matte effect, make sure after selecting the Matte layer, Effects and masks are enabled in the set matte effect

[@mateo_marvel1346]

How can I made the background from the Obi Wan archive transparent/without background? Help

[@zerofxharry]

Method 1: In the project file(.aep), You can actually insert your background image/video at the bottom of all the layers and it should work just fine.. Or Method 2 : if you want to export transparent image sequence for whatever reason, In the Project file(.aep), open "Obiwan Comp" precomposition. You will find 4 TEXT_PARTICLE precomps.. All of them has "VC Color Vibrance" effect enabled.. In the VC Color Vibrance effect, uncheck Fill Empty BG.. Do the same thing for the BACKGROUND SMOKE precomp too.. and you will now have a transparent sequence. However, it won't look that good as the first method..

[@johnwavid]

following until you get to source alpha inheritance - is there something you did before to enable this?

[@zerofxharry]

If you are not seeing the source Alpha inheritance option, make sure you are using the "CC Particle System II" effect and not CC Particle World.. If you see the source Alpha inheritance option but turning it on does nothing.., then make sure the precomposition has an alpha channel (which basically means removing the black background from your text..)🙂

[@BlizzardOfSeptember]

Hey Harry, when I downloaded your template for the Stars Wars, it said there are missing plugins for colour. It was some vibrant colour effect. What do I do? And this thing is rendering very slowly on my computer. I have 128GB RAM and it still takes forever

[@zerofxharry]

I am sorry but for the template to work, you need to install VC color vibrance, a free plugin from video copilot.net www.videocopilot.net/blog/2014/05/new-plug-in-color-vibrance/ I don't know why it's rendering slow though. I have only 16GB RAM and it's working fine. May be install the plugin first and then give it a try. If you don't want to install the plugin, if you are familiar with Aftereffects, you can apply a curves effect in the place of VC color vibrance effect and then adjust the curves to give the particles sand color.

[@BlizzardOfSeptember]

@@zerofxharry Got it! Do you know how to make it transparent? I can't find your solid background. So I realized to make it transparent background, I have to turn off VC gradient in all layers. Very strange.

[@dylsfish3825]

How can I do the same but for an image instead of text (logo) ?

[@zerofxharry]

Just replace the text with an image with transparency..

[@DylanDsmith101]

When I try to time reverse the particles complete disappear. Where am I going wrong? 10:38

[@zerofxharry]

You need to precomp the entire composition and then apply the time reverse effect. It's almost similar to rendering your Particle animation in real-time and then reversing the footage

[@gremlinsification]

Your tutorial is so cool! :) But I'm stuck, I can't find the Linear Wipe...does is have another name?

[@zerofxharry]

It will be under the "Transition category" of Effects and Presets panel

[@gremlinsification]

@@zerofxharry Thank you for your help, I've checked this section and I don't have it (I'm on AE CS6).But I tried with using a solid sliding that I did manually and it worked well so I'm carrying on with the tutorial tonight :) I love it, you did a fantastic job!

[@serhiimaidannyk]

and how do I do the same thing with the png logo?

[@zerofxharry]

If the png image has transparency, just replace the text file layer with png layer, it will work. To change the particle colour, there is an option in the CC Particle effect which I can't remember at the moment.. I am not with my laptop.. Change the particle type and you will find the option(I think some triangles). You may need to decrease the particle size though

[@amritdandiwal]

Quick question is there the I as a light saber

[@zerofxharry]

I didn't include it in the template version. Makes it difficult to change the Name. If you want I can share the version used in the tutorial video

[@AG.Artworks]

@@zerofxharry sure if you can that would be great

[@harisdurrani8422]

Excellent job brother...but you were very fast......kindly go a little slower

[@jessyangora6014]

bro cant find the luma, i acctualy found it but it does not work 😭😭😭😭

[@zerofxharry]

Hi.. Track Matte UI was changed actually. Once you select a layer as a Track Matte, you will get options whether to use Alpha/Luma matte..

[@GreenGiorno]

Very helpful but sometimes too fast ;-;

[@tonmoydasjoy1478]

How meticulous you are! Thanks a lot for sharing! But you were going too fast which could be trouble some for beginners.

[@bryanschumacker5417]

Am I dumb? I am literally following this and my particles are few and far between following this step to step and looks nothing like what he is creating.

[@bryanschumacker5417]

Is it cus my text is smaller? Mine looks nothing when following this tutorial. Wish you could post images on here.

[@zerofxharry]

Please download the Sand disperse template(link in description) once and see if it's working fine..
